After listening to the strategies of the three counselors, Cao Cao put his hands on his forehead and fell into deep thought. The methods of Xun Yu and Xun You are upright and upright, benefiting the country and the people. They are undoubtedly suitable for the status of the prime minister of the Han Dynasty, but what about Cheng Yu's strategy? Being venomous and pungent, but also weakening Yuan Shao's strength, fits my taste very well!

"Fengxiao, Wuchou, what's your opinion?" Cao Cao didn't rush to make a decision, but set his sights on the best counselors and the most skilled generals, hoping they would come up with a strategy that could kill two birds with one stone!

"Hebei is so powerful that it should not be underestimated. With Yuan Shao's talent, plus his 10 men and women, he will definitely be able to put down the Yellow Turban in Heishan. Even if we put pressure on it, it won't change anything. Instead, it will attract criticism from all over the world!

However, the Yellow Turban Army has held back Yuan Shao, and Hebei soldiers and horses cannot go south for the time being, so we have room to move around. The prime minister should seize the opportunity to solve his worries, especially Zhang Xiu in Wancheng, who is like a light on his back and must be pulled out Drop this spike! "

Guo Jia is known as the "first of the four great advisers" because of his long-term strategic vision. Others only focus on Hebei, but what he sees is the overall situation of the world!

Among the princes from all walks of life, the strength of the Caoying Group ranks second, second only to the Yuan family in Hebei. However, in terms of strategic position, the difference between the two is too far!

The Yuan family in Hebei, backed by the desert, bordered on the Bohai Sea in the east, and Taihang in the west, condescending, looking down on the southern states, can put all their troops on the front line of the Yellow River, which is very advantageous strategically!

On the contrary, the Caoying Group was more unlucky. There was a powerful enemy Yuan Shao in the north, and Sun Ce, Liu Biao, Zhang Lu, and Liu Zhang in the south. Defensive everywhere, once a war starts, it will be very disadvantageous!

Guo Jia's opinion is very clear, while Yuan Shao is busy dealing with the Yellow Turban Army, let's clear up the troubles immediately, so that we can concentrate our strength in the decisive battle between the two powers in the future, and the chances of winning will be a little higher!

"Following Xiao's words, Jingzhou is the strongest among southern princes, and the distance is also the closest. Only by capturing Wancheng and closing the gate to the south can the old man gather his troops and fight Yuan Benchu ​​to the death!"

When mentioning Wancheng, Cao Cao's eyes darkened, obviously thinking of his eldest son Cao Ang, that was the biggest blow to him!

"The ancients said that fortune and misfortune depend on each other. The Yellow Turban Rebellion is certainly a bad thing, but as long as it is operated properly, bad things can also become good things. Our Qingzhou soldiers are the best example!"

Seeing Cao Cao's expression was gloomy, Xiao Yi quickly changed the subject, fearing that his father-in-law would be too sad and hurt his health. As a son-in-law, he should do some filial piety!

As for the Yellow Turban Rebellion in Hebei?

The affairs of the world are people-oriented. Only when there is a sufficient population can we collect taxes and recruit troops. This is the capital to be king and hegemony!

At the beginning, the Caoying Group was founded, relying on the recruitment of the Yellow Turban Army, with a population of one million and 20 Qingzhou soldiers, it has grown and grown, and it is the same now. It is the greatest victory!

As for how to snatch the population, Xiao Yi smiled and said nothing. If you want to accomplish a big event, keep secrets first. !

"This is a very important matter. This old man needs to make some plans. Everyone, please go back to your residence to rest for the time being. We will discuss and make a decision tomorrow!"

How treacherous Cao Cao is, with just one look, he knew that the precious son-in-law had a plan, and immediately dismissed everyone. He also knew the importance of keeping secrets!

"Prime Minister, take care of your health, I will take my leave for now!"

They were all smart people, so they took their leave and left immediately. When they got to the door, Guo Jia quietly turned around, stretched his finger to the north, and smiled at Xiao Yi: "I understand your bad intentions, remember to bring a gift back! "

That night, Xiao Yi stayed in the prime minister's mansion. At midnight, he entered the study, conspired with Cao Cao for a long time, and left at five o'clock. No one knew what they said, let alone how they planned. There is a common saying - "Weng's son-in-law is plotting, and nothing good will happen!"

755. Chapter 755 Brother Xiao Yi Comes Back!

From the first year of Jian'an to November, three things happened in the Han Dynasty: First, the Yellow Turbans in Heishan rebelled, captured the city along the way, killed officials, and coerced the people. The momentum was so great that the four prefectures in Hebei shook, and the people of the world were disturbed!

Second, Cao Cao issued a decree in the name of the little emperor: reprimanded the general Yuan Shao, who was not good at governing the people and incapable of commanding the army, causing local corruption and the loss of life... He also appointed Xiahou Dun as the general of Pingbei, commanding [-] heavy troops, stationed Along the Yellow River, the name is to guard against bandits, but it is actually a deterrent to Hebei. The two sides are on the verge of war!

Thirdly, Da Sima - Marquis of Wushouxiang - Xiao Yi, suddenly fell ill and was unable to lead the army, so he had to stay in bed for a period of recuperation, and at the same time close the gate of the mansion to see no outsiders!

Xiao Yi is a famous general in the world. He led troops in battle and had never been defeated. He was also a thorn in the side and a thorn in the flesh of the princes from all walks of life. I don't know how many spies were sent to monitor his every move. Now that he suddenly fell ill and closed the door to thank guests, people all over the world couldn't help talking about it. In the meantime, all kinds of news are flying all over the sky, it's hard to tell the truth from the fake!

The statement given by the imperial court: Da Sima fought for years, became sick from overwork, and the arrow sores on his waist recurred, which damaged his vitality, so he had to rest for a while and ignore military affairs for the time being!

The officials privately said: Xiao Yi became the chief minister because he was promoted and surrendered secretly. His military power was seized and he was dissatisfied in his heart, so he pretended to be sick.

In addition, there is also a folk saying: Xiao Yi is newly married, and his wife is a great beauty. He couldn't control it for a while, and he accidentally got an "immediate wind" every night during the spring night. Get close to female sex, otherwise you will be in danger of life!

Three different theories, the first one is not believed, the official news is never reliable, whoever believes it is a fool; the second one is more reasonable, the princes of all parties agree, and they are going to add fuel to the flames, let Xiao and Cao fight each other and kill them Blood flowed like a river, so they could profit from it!

However, what people like to talk about most is the third statement. Chinese people have a heart for gossip. Political conspiracy and power struggle are meaningless. It is more suitable for "immediate wind". Xiao Lang's romantic repertoire, such as Xiao Lang's night battle, "throw away the helmet and armor", is sung day and night, and is very popular among the guests...

"Hehe, the common people are very capable of spreading rumors. In just a few days, so many versions have been circulated. The words are so clear that even I almost believed them!"

Wushouhou Mansion - the back house, Xiao Yi was lying on a soft couch, tasting wine while listening to people's reports, chuckling from time to time, listening to those romantic jokes with relish, to be honest, he also had a A gossip heart!

Xiao Yi's health is very good, neither sick nor injured, he can eat several bowls of rice for a meal, and his intercourse is very harmonious. , Many of them are fabricated by myself!

The purpose of doing this is naturally to fish in troubled waters. To be more precise, Xiao Yi is planning to go to Hebei, taking advantage of the yellow turban bandits making troubles and Yuan Jun's overwhelmed opportunity, coercing the population, crossing the Yellow River south, and emptying out the great general - Yuan Shao's family fortune!

Running to other people's territory to coerce people is not an ordinary difficulty. In order to accomplish this, in addition to careful planning, how to arrange manpower is also very important!

It is impossible to mobilize the army. One thing: the target is too big and the movement is inconvenient, which will also cause the Hebei Group to be alert. If the two sides fight, with the current strength of the Caoying Group, the chances of winning are not too great!

Two: The army has been fighting for years, and the soldiers are already very tired. The most elite black armored cavalry also needs to expand their troops and take a good rest before they can go to the battlefield!

The main army could not be mobilized, so Xiao Yi had no choice but to lead a small team to sneak into the territory of Hebei, and then used tactics to win. He always believed in one truth, that even though embroidery needles are small, as long as they are used by experts, they can still kill people. For example: "Sunrise East, I am the only invincible! '

After repeated thinking, Xiao Yi decided on the candidate for the expedition:

Cao Jie had to bring it, the two were newlyweds, and it was the time when they were like glue, and Xiao Yi couldn't bear to let his wife stay alone in the vacant room. Besides, Cao Jie had lived in the prime minister's mansion for several years and had never stepped out of Xuchang City. Taking this opportunity, Just in time for some fun!

Zhen Mi had to bring it too. Since she followed her, abandoned her family and business, and stayed away from her relatives, she has been giving without complaint or regret... In terms of love and reason, Xiao Yi should also accompany her to Yecheng to pay a visit to the Zhen family. Man, send a gift and fulfill the responsibility of a son-in-law!

The four little witches, Xiaojing, Zhao Yu, Lu Linger, and Daoxiang, would also accompany them. Without them, Xiao Yi might not even be able to get out of the gate. With a certain cover effect, it can better confuse the enemy's sight!

There is also Guo Yi, this kid has a thick skin and a black belly, and has strong coping skills. He pretends to be a dragon like a dragon, and pretends to be a tiger like a tiger. He is a natural actor. He took this opportunity to hone his skills and use him in the future!

In the end, Xiaobin and Cao Xing led three hundred soldiers to guard the safety. Of course, these soldiers are carefully selected. They must be skilled in martial arts and smart. It is best to be born in the four prefectures of Hebei, familiar with the road, and proficient in dialects. the job!

There are not many soldiers but good ones. These people have a certain command ability. In other words, these are three hundred reserve officers. The ancients said: "A thousand troops are easy to get, but a general is hard to find." With a wise commander like Xiao Yi, With grassroots officers again, are you afraid that you won't be able to recruit thousands of troops?

It's still the same sentence--'A single spark can start a prairie fire', as long as 300 people are taken out, as long as they are carefully planned, it will not take long to become 3 people, or even 30 people. Xiao Yi is very confident about this , Didn’t the great ancestor of the Red Dynasty rise up by relying on the guns of a few hundred people? If he can conquer thousands of miles, he can’t coerce some people?

With an order, the whole Hou Mansion immediately got busy, traveling thousands of miles, going deep into the tiger's lair, if there is a slight mistake, there will be no bones left. If you want to be safe and sound, you must do a good job of preparation, and concealing your whereabouts is the most important thing !

It is not easy to change the appearance, ranging from large vehicles, horses, tents, armor, weapons, bows and arrows... to small clothes, boots, jade pendants, hairpins, rice bowls, chopsticks..., everything that is carried with you, all are replaced with folk ones. The finished product, no trace of Cao Ying can be left, but fortunately, the soldiers under him have experience, and everything is proceeding in an orderly manner...

There is also the question of the marching route. From Xuchang to Yecheng, the most convenient way is to go north, cross the Yellow River, pass through Liyang, and reach the destination in about half a month. However, Yuan Jun is heavily defending along the Yellow River. Strictly, prevent Cao Ying's secret operations from getting in the way!

After thinking about it again and again, Xiao Yi decided to give up going north and go west instead, entering the Guanzhong area, then going north to Bingzhou, then returning east to Jizhou, and finally arriving at Yecheng. Safety!

In addition, everyone's address should also be changed. Cao Jie and Zhen Mi are wives; People are caravan guards, as for Xiao Yi...

"Report to the shopkeeper, the guys are ready, and the team can start at any time!" Xiao Bin, dressed in a hard suit, came over, his tone was very respectful, but he gave a civil hand salute, it seems that he has already entered the role !

"Hehe, I have been in the business for many years, and I have finally become a big shopkeeper from a young boy. It's not easy... Tell the guys to go out in batches after dark and meet up fifty miles west of the city. Be careful and don't disturb anyone!"

Xiao Yi changed into a Western Shu brocade robe, with a red gold hairpin on his head, a gold lock on his neck, a gold ribbon around his waist, diamond bracelets on his wrists, and gold threads embroidered on his boots. 'Three words are engraved on the face, this style is definitely a qualified caravan shopkeeper!

"Report to the shopkeeper, the women in the back house are ready and can go at any time!"

The four little witches all changed into maid costumes, and they walked with the wind one by one, extremely excited. With their temperament that they fear the world will not be chaotic, this trip to Hebei is simply a big game, and their hearts have long been filled with joy!

Cao Jie is calm on the surface, but her eyes are like sea water. The tide ebbs and flows, fluctuating. For several years, she has not stepped out of Xuchang City. Now she can travel thousands of miles and see the beautiful scenery of various places. For this 17-year-old For Mrs. Sima, the temptation is infinite!

As for Zhen Mi, her eyes were already glowing, and she was trembling with excitement. As a woman, who would not want to go back to her natal home in a happy manner accompanied by her husband? Became the heart disease of this 'big rich girl'!
