Three Kingdoms lazy man

"If you have any comments, you might as well say it, and let me, Pang Tong, listen to it!" Pang Tong looked at Jia Xu shaking his head and sneering, stroked his beard, and said to Jia Xu with a reddened face.

"Perhaps you're right! But Cao Cao's current strength might not dare to drive the Emperor Han down!" Jia Xu stroked his beard, looked at Pang Tong who was slightly red in front of him, and said in a tone Said calmly.

Bai Ren on the side also looked at Jia Xu with great interest. After all, Jia Xu usually gives people the impression of being taciturn, and rarely speaks out what is on his mind!

"I would like to hear the details!" Pang Tong looked at the old man in front of him at this time, his eyes became a little curious, and he said to Jia Xu in a soft tone.

"Now Cao Cao's real troops are only 30, and at least 25 soldiers and horses are needed in the north to defend against foreigners, but the real number of soldiers and horses that can be used is only [-], while other princes, Ma Teng and Han Sui have a total of [-] troops, Liu Biao and Liu Zhang have [-] troops, Sun Quan has [-] soldiers and horses, which is more than Cao Cao. If Cao Cao really dares to abolish Emperor Han, the princes of the world will unite, just like the princes begging for Dong in the past!" Jia Xu stroked his beard and looked at him. Pang Tong in front of him said in a calm tone.

Pang Tong laughed when he heard Jia Xu's words, and said to Jia Xu in a cold tone: "This is just a matter of course for you. Even if they unite, they also have their own barriers, not to mention the gaps between regions, and the connection between them. Difficulties, but still fighting each other, mainly Mr. Jia Wenhe, don't forget, the hatred between Liu Biao and Sun Quan is irreconcilable, all you said is nonsense!"

"Hehe, is it nonsense? If they were threatened, they would definitely unite. Besides, Dong Zhuo didn't die at the hands of the princes! Boy, you were born into a family, don't you understand?" Jia Xu listened Pang Tong touched his beard, and then said to Pang Tong with eyes full of energy.

After hearing Jia Xu's words, Pang Tong silently lowered his head, thought for a while, and finally picked up his job bowl helplessly, and ate.

"I don't care about these questions, people's hearts are too hard to guess! Eat, eat!" Pang Tong raised his head to see Bai Ren and others looking over, and said to the people around him in a somewhat displeased tone.

"Hehe!" Bai Ren listened to Pang Tong's words and took a look at Jia Xu. He was really old and hot, and Pang Tong was rendered speechless after writing it all at once.

"Master, Prime Minister Cao's invitation card!" At this time, a guard came to the hall cautiously, looked at the people who were eating, and said in a calm tone.

"Cao Cao's invitation, it's fine for an individual to talk about it. What kind of invitation should I send?" Bai Ren got up from his seat, quickly took the invitation from the guard, and said with some displeasure.

The guard watched Bai Ren accept the invitation and retreated silently.

Bai Ren opened the invitation, only to find that there was only one sentence in it, see you at the Prime Minister's Mansion tomorrow!

"You said, what kind of medicine is sold in Prime Minister Cao's gourd?" Bai Ren put down the invitation card, casually threw it in front of Jia Xu, and asked curiously.

Jia Xu looked at the appearance of the invitation, and said a few words to Liu Ye who was beside him. Liu Ye nodded after hearing this, walked out immediately, and came back after a while.

"Any news?" Bai Ren looked at Liu Ye who came back, and asked in a flat tone.

"The Prime Minister's Mansion sent a total of ten invitations, including Xun Lingjun, Xun Zhongshu, Sima Yi, Xia Houdun, Xia Houyuan, Cheng Yu, Chen Qun, Xu Huang, and Cao Chun." Liu Ye looked at Bai Ren's puzzled gaze, and turned his gaze to different places. Pang Tong in the distance, but seeing Bai Ren nodding his head, Liu Ye quickly said the matter.

Pang Tong on the side heard the news, and looked at Bai Ren with wide eyes. He didn't expect that Bai Ren had so many eyes and ears!

"Cheng Yu, Xun Yu, Xun You, the most important counselors in Cao Cao's heart. Cao Chun, Xia Houdun, Xia Houyuan, the important ministers of the Cao family. Xu Huang and I, the two most important generals with foreign surnames. Sima Yi, Chen Qun, assistants in the prime minister's mansion You can be said to be a rising star. This prime minister is probably going to do some big things!" Bai Ren stroked his chin, and said to the people around him with some emotion.

Jia Xu on the side listened, smiled silently, and then said to Bai Ren in a flat tone: "If there is an internal problem, the general may not receive this invitation. I am afraid that our Prime Minister Cao wants to complete his great cause!"

Hearing Jia Xu's words, Bai Ren was taken aback for a moment, then burst out laughing, and said in a calm tone, "Cao Mengde has recuperated for a year, and it looks like he can't sit still anymore!"

Pang Tong on the side heard Bai Ren's words, and suddenly felt a strange feeling towards Bai Ren, feeling that Bai Ren had a heroic feeling, and he could hear it from his words, that Bai Zifu and Cao Cao seemed to be in harmony, and they were afraid of each other.

However, Pang Tong also became a little curious about what ability Bai Ren had to force Cao Cao not to do anything to Bai Ren.

"Eat! Eat!" Bai Ren looked at the eyes of the people around him, returned to normal, then sat down, and said calmly.

In comparison, a remote and quiet room in the prime minister's mansion was full of people.Cao Cao sat on the main seat, standing beside Xu Chu, surrounding Cao Cao's safety.

On the right are advisors, sitting first are Xun Yu and Xun Wenruo, next are Xun You and Xun Gongda, next are Cheng Yu and Cheng Zhongde, and the last two are two officials from the prime minister's mansion, Sima Yi and Chen Qun.

As for the positions of the generals on the left, the first seat is Xiahou Dun, the second is Xiahou Yuan, the third is Xu Huang, the fourth is Cao Chun, and the last is of course Bai Ren.

Of course, this position of military commander was specially arranged by Bai Ren. Bai Ren was the first person to come here, and he sat in the last seat as soon as he came here. As a result, when a general came, he asked Bai Ren to sit in front, but it was a pity that Bai Ren was determined. Disagree, so it became like this.

The gate was guarded by Cao Pi, Cao Zhang, Cao Zhi, Cao Xiu, Cao Zhen, Xia Houshang and others, but they also saw Cao Cao's deep meaning and did not point it out.

"Everyone! This time, I have something important to discuss with everyone. I am very pleased that you can come to me, Mr. Cao!" Bai Ren.

Xun Yu and Bai Ren are now somewhat incompatible with Cao Cao, but for the sake of internal stability, they have not shown it yet.

"What's the matter, Prime Minister?" Xun Yu stroked his beard, looked at the smiling Cao Cao, hesitated, and asked in a gentle tone.

Chapter 4 Jingzhou?

Cao Cao looked at Xun Yu's gentle and elegant appearance, stroked his beard, looked at the curious eyes of the crowd, hesitated for a moment, and said calmly to the crowd: "It has been more than a year since our army pacified Hebei, and we have enough time to recuperate. After more than a year, the old man felt that if the soldiers don’t exercise their muscles and bones, they might soon be rusted!”

When everyone heard Cao Cao's words, it was obvious that they were going to leave the army. Some of them were overjoyed, while others were downcast.

"Prime Minister, it's better to talk about sending troops in the hall. After all, the emperor should at least know about such a big event!" Xun Yu looked at Cao Cao with a serious face at this time, and said to Cao Cao in a hoarse voice. .

After hearing Xun Yu's words, everyone looked at Xun Yu in shock. Xun Yu's meaning was very clear, which was to say that Cao Cao took power without authorization.

Cao Cao listened to Xun Yu's words, looked at Xun Yu's dissatisfied eyes, and smiled, but felt a little uncomfortable.

"Wen Ruo, don't worry, we're just discussing this time, and we will report to the emperor at that time, you worry too much!" Cao Cao squinted his eyes, looked at Xun Yu and said gently.

After hearing Cao Cao's words, Xun Yu looked at Cao Cao suspiciously. Seeing Cao Cao's calm face, he said to Cao Cao calmly, "Oh, that's my fault for the prime minister. Don't blame the prime minister!"

"How could I blame Wen Ruo? Is Wen Ruo thinking about the current Han Dynasty? It's a pity that His Majesty is always so ungrateful!" Cao Cao listened to Xun Yu's words, a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he looked at Xun Yu with a mocking tone. Yu said.

Xun Yu couldn't understand the meaning of Cao Cao's words, so he said to Cao Cao in a flat tone: "The world is too young today, and Dong Zhuo's harm was experienced in the early years. It is normal to have such a mentality!"

Cao Cao laughed when he heard Xun Yu's words, and ignored Xun Yu, but looked at the civil and military officials and confidant ministers around him indifferently and asked: "Now the old man has settled half of the world for His Majesty, but there is still Jiangdong in the world today. Sun Quan from Jingzhou, Ma Teng and Han Sui from Xiliang, you are all resourceful men, I hope you can teach me where to send our troops!"

"This..." The civil and military ministers below all looked at Cao Cao with a serious expression, and no one dared to speak. As the young bird, they could only silently wait for others to speak.

"Father, I have an idea!" Cao Zhen who was guarding the door suddenly said to Cao Cao with a calm face.

"My son, what do you think! Just say it!" Cao Cao looked at Cao Zhen who suddenly stood up, and immediately looked at Cao Zhen with a smile on his face and said.

"I think our army has a large number of generals, and among all our targets, Jiangdong has the natural danger of the Yangtze River, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack. Our army is not suitable for attacking from the river! The Xiliang iron cavalry in Xiliang is relatively strong. A very difficult guy, our army is not suitable for attacking, and Liu Biao's army in Jingzhou is much weaker than the previous two sides! Moreover, Jingzhou is rich and it is a battleground for military strategists. When the time comes, we only need to take Jingzhou and fight for it. The east can attack Jiangdong, and the west can march into Yizhou, it is a unique place!" Cao Zhen listened to Cao Cao's words, looked at Cao Cao's expectant eyes, and suddenly said to Cao Cao with a heavy tone.

After hearing Cao Zhen's words, everyone lowered their heads and thought about what Cao Zhen said.

And Bai Ren also secretly looked at the second-generation Cao who was valued by Cao Cao. The Cao Zhen in history is not like the Cao Zhen in the romance. The Cao Zhen in history is the second-generation figure that Cao Cao and Cao Pi value most. Even Sima Yi All kinds of ghosts are very afraid of Cao Zhen, and even resisted Zhuge Liang's previous Northern Expeditions in history, it was the second generation that Cao Cao valued, Cao Zhen.

"It's still too young!" After hearing what Cao Zhen said, Bai Ren had already made a decision in his heart. Although what Cao Zhen said was very deceptive, Bai Ren could see clearly that this plan would not work.

First of all, although Jingzhou is only defended by the Han River in the north, after passing Xiangyang, Jingzhou also has the natural danger of the Yangtze River. Wu stopped playing, so Soochow would never sit idly by and watch Cao Cao seize Jingzhou. Secondly, the Xiliang army Ma Ke has always been eyeing Cao Cao. Since Xiliang is not destroyed, Cao Cao has always had worries about the future.

During the Battle of Chibi, Cao Cao was also worried about accidents in the rear. Finally, after the Battle of Chibi, before attacking Jiangdong, he immediately attacked Xiliang.

"I think what Zidan said is right!" Xiahoudun and Xiahouyuan hurriedly said to the people around them, and Cao Chun also nodded in praise. After all, these people belonged to the Cao family, so naturally they hugged each other very tightly.

Xun Yu was silent at this time, and he didn't comment, and Xun You looked at his uncle and didn't speak, as for Cheng Yu and Chen Qun, they couldn't see anything either.

Meanwhile, Sima Yi lowered his head silently, with a thought in his mind, he silently looked at Bai Ren opposite him, seeing Bai Ren sitting there with a calm expression and a smile, not speaking, he suddenly became curious.

As for Xu Huang beside Bai Ren, he was thinking silently, wondering if the plan would work?

"What do you guys think?" Cao Cao asked curiously as he looked at the civil and military men with different postures, and immediately stroked his beard.

"I think what Zidan said is very correct. Attacking Jingzhou is a good choice now!" Xia Houdun and others, representing the people of the Cao clan, immediately opened their mouths to express their views, while the others looked at them and silently shook their heads. shook his head.

"Wen Ruo, what do you think?" At this time, Cao Cao looked at his family brothers saying this, with a gratified smile on the corner of his mouth, and looked at Xun Yu and Xun You who were still silent, so he asked them curiously .
