Great Wei Nengchen

In the eyes of the world, the world belongs to the Liu family, and even more so to the noble family. Cao Cao's position as prime minister is not stable, and he will be replaced by the Yuan family sooner or later. Intelligence, or internal and external cooperation, makes people hard to guard against!

"Mr. Wen Ruo's words are justified. The Yuan family is so powerful that it must not be underestimated!"

"Among the court officials, the gentry accounted for about [-]%. Once there is a change, the consequences will be disastrous!"

"It's hard to fight, so it's better to ask for peace, but Yuan Shao may not agree, I'm afraid he will have to cede land to accompany gold?"

............................................................

Xun Yu's words were like a thousand-year-old iceberg, and they weighed heavily on everyone's hearts. The civil and military officials present at the meeting talked a lot, and most of them were inclined to negotiate a peace, even if it was to cede some land!

"The subordinates are not talented, and they are willing to go to Hebei to discuss the terms of peace negotiations. As long as they can avoid the pain of swordsmanship, small sacrifices can be tolerated!"

Xun You took the initiative to invite Ying, and was willing to go to Hebei. The gentry clans were deeply intertwined, and there were some connections in the dark.

Xun Yu and Xun You are veterans of Cao Ying. They have always been giving advice and doing their best, and there is no problem with their loyalty. And after thinking about it carefully, their method is also feasible. It can be said that they temporarily avoid the edge, preserve their strength, and then make long-term plans. The safest strategy!

Cao Cao also agrees with this, but he has been mighty for half his life and has never succumbed to others. Could it be that he is going to make an exception this time? Thinking of this, he looked at the empty right hand side, sighed, and then turned his eyes to the left , It fell on Guo Jia!

Cao Cao has won many battles and won many battles, and he has achieved today's achievements by relying on his right hand and right arm. Now that Xiao Yi is in prison, he can only look at this 'ghost'!

"Your Excellency, the Prime Minister, is skilled in bow and horse, and likes to hunt. If you encounter a colorful tiger in the canyon, there are no guards on the left and right, only a sword in your hand. I don't know whether to advance or retreat?"

Faced with the questioning eyes, Guo Jia did not answer directly, but instead talked about hunting. It seemed irrelevant, but in fact it had a lot of meaning!

"Hehe!... The tiger in the mountains is brave and cunning. It is the best at bullying others. If you take a step back, it will take a step forward. It will press on every step, and it will never stop. The old man will swing his sword and fight bravely!"

You don't need to beat the drum hard, Cao Cao is such a smart person, he immediately understood that Guo Jia is using a tiger as a metaphor to persuade himself to muster up the courage and fight Yuan Shao to the death!

In the current situation, Yuan Shao is like a fierce tiger descending the mountain, baring its fangs and claws, and its power is astonishing. If he is timid in his heart and accepts the conditions of the peace negotiation, the next step will be more stringent conditions. Spotless!

That being the case, why don't you fight hard, relying on hundreds of thousands of soldiers and the help of a group of civil servants and military generals, you may have a chance of winning. As long as you defeat Yuan Shao, you will be equal to subduing the noble family group. At that time, the world of Kyushu , Let me gallop!

"This old man has made up his mind. Against a powerful enemy, he will not retreat a single step. Gather all his strength and fight Yuan Benchu ​​to the death. If there is a peacemaker in the future, it will be like this case!"

Now that the decisive battle is ready, the internal thinking must be unified. Cao Cao drew his sword in his hand, showing murderous intent, and slashed fiercely on the book case in front of him, splitting it in half to show that he had no intention of changing it!

"The prime minister is wise and mighty, and he must be blessed by the heavens. I will do my best and do my best to serve you!"

Looking at the broken book case, all civil and military officials were stunned for a moment, and they all clasped their fists in salute. At this point, there is no way out, they can only fight to the death!

At the end of the meeting, a group of civil and military officials tidied up their clothes and calmed down their moods. They walked out of the secret room one after another as if nothing happened, and returned to the mansion, secretly preparing to go!

The life-and-death battle relies on strategies and tactics, as well as soldiers, horses, money and food. Whoever prepares well will have a better chance of winning. Now it's time to compete for internal strength!

After watching everyone leave, Cao Cao pondered for a moment, then turned around and told his second son Cao Pi: "Zi Huan hurried to the prison, and told Xiao Lang the contents of today's meeting verbatim, and let him prepare, the battle of life and death is not far away." Already!"

"No! - My boy obeys, set off immediately and go to the prison!"

After Cao Pi stood up and saluted, he immediately turned around and left. Today's meeting taught him a lot, and he also understood one thing: "In the heart of my father, my love for Xiao Lang has not diminished at all!"

Chapter 820 The Poetry of Hidden Dragon

"The gold medal of Xiangfu's tiger head is here, checkpoints along the way, quickly open the door... Long! Long!"

After Cao Pi accepted his father's order, he immediately selected a few guards, and rushed straight to the prison. Relying on the tiger's head gold medal in his hand, the checkpoints along the way were unimpeded. After entering the Valley of Broken Soul, he left the guards and horses at the foot of the mountain. I galloped up the mountain road, as fast as a rabbit, and as quick as a spirit ape. It is said that Mr. Cao is hiding his secrets, but in fact, his martial arts are not bad!

The brother-in-law came to the door in person, so the brother-in-law would naturally have to entertain him well. Xiao Yi walked out of the cave for a few steps, and he was greeted at the door, while Cao Jie prepared the meals with his bare hands. Proficient, full of military books, women should learn female celebrities and cooking skills in addition to reading and literacy, and strive to be a good wife and mother!

Among the mountains and mountains, the food is mainly game, a piece of braised rabbit meat, a plate of stewed river fish, a dozen pickled wild duck eggs, and a few fresh wild vegetables. When I got it back, it was an absolute natural food!

The dishes are very ordinary, but the wine is top-notch. After opening the seal, the aroma is tangy and refreshing. This is Xiao Yi's only privilege. It's nothing to live in a simple cave. It's okay to eat some coarse grains and wild vegetables. In terms of drinking alone, I can't make do with it at all. They are all specially prepared and carefully prepared fine wines from the Wushouhou Mansion!

"Zi Huan has seen my sister and brother-in-law, but I haven't seen you for a long time. You have suffered in the mountains, and my father is thinking about it, so I asked my younger brother to come and visit me!"

After meeting, Cao Pi immediately bowed and saluted, but his eyes fell on Xiao Yi's hand, with a look of fear, and he let out a sigh of relief when he saw nothing!

Back then when he was in the army, Xiao Yi was extremely strict, and his tactics were also bad. The three brothers of the Cao family were often beaten, and their skin was torn to pieces. Over time, they all left psychological shadows. Every time they met Xiao Yi, they would first look at his hands Is there a whip before you can let go of your heart? This feeling of fear has penetrated into the bone marrow, and it will never be changed forever!

"My family, you don't have to be polite, Zihuan come in and sit down, let's talk while eating, your sister's cooking skills are pretty good!"

Xiao Yi nodded slightly, which was regarded as a half-return. His expression was neither enthusiastic nor indifferent. !

"There is no good food in the barren mountains and mountains. I really feel wronged. How are you, father and mother? How are the other brothers and sisters?"

"Miss You Lao is worried about everything. My parents and adults are all well. My younger brothers and sisters study poetry and books diligently. There is harmony in the Prime Minister's Mansion!"

"Family and everything is prosperous, and my father takes care of everything every day. It is very hard. Among the brothers, Zihuan is the eldest, so he has to share his father's worries more!"

In contrast, Cao Jie has no scruples. The four most potential sons of Xiangfu, Cao Pi, Cao Zhang, Cao Zhi, and Cao Xiong, are all siblings of her first-milk compatriots. Those who won't treat their direct sister badly, at least have the status of "the founding princess", this is a blessed person!

"My younger brother is stupid and can't be reused. He is not as smart as the younger brothers. In the future, I will need my sister and brother-in-law to help me. This time I came up to the mountain, and my father has something to worry about..."

Among the brothers and sisters of the Cao family, Cao Pi is not the smartest, but he is the one who knows how to behave. What he said is impeccable, and invisibly, the relationship between them has been brought closer. He knows very well that as long as his sister nods, his brother-in-law The attitude is also easy to say!

"The thing that can bother Mr. Prime Minister is that the situation in Hebei has changed. Yuan Shao is preparing to raise troops to go south. Isn't the cheeky old man really wicked?"

Xiao Yi's mind was quick, and he guessed some situations in an instant, he couldn't help clenching his fists, his eyes were full of murderous intent, a big battle was coming, and he had a role to play again!

"Brother-in-law is the No. 1 general in the world. He has a quick mind and is unmatched. Yuan Shao sent an envoy and made three rude demands-cede the land and pay compensation, and sacrifice the emperor. Let's meet swordsmen!

My father is mighty and unyielding, and I am going to gather troops and horses to fight to the death, and all the civil and military officials have agreed, but, the overall situation of the world, the life and death of the people, I think I should be more cautious..."

Cao Pi was eloquent, and his speech was clear. He repeated the content of the meeting verbatim, and added some of his own opinions, which was quite expressive. It seems that he is not willing to be lonely anymore!

"Yuan Shao ruled Hebei, he has a lot of soldiers and food, and he has a lot of civil servants and generals. In terms of strength, he ranks first among the princes in the world. There were a few setbacks before, but his glory still exists... As for the court, my lord After working hard for many years, accumulating strength, and training soldiers and horses, in terms of military strength, they are completely capable of fighting against each other!

The two sides are evenly matched, and if they fight together, it will definitely be very exciting, and it will take a long time. It is also possible to fight for one or two years. In this way, the key to the victory of the two sides is two points: one is who has more food and grass, and the other is Who has more allies! "

Xiao Yi has been through the battlefield for a long time, and he is very clear about the strength of both Cao and Yuan. One side has more soldiers and food, and a solid foundation, while the other side is united, and the soldiers work hard.

The problem of raising food and grass has always been the weakness of Cao Jun. In recent years, God has not opened his eyes. Locust plagues, droughts, and wind disasters have continued one after another. There is a massive civil uprising!

It is precisely because of the lack of food and grass that Cao Jun must fight quickly every time he crusades against the princes. Generally, the time does not exceed three months. The battle against Shouchun relied on the captured enemy food and grass to satisfy his hunger, so he persisted; there was also the siege of Xiapi The city could not be attacked for a long time, food and grass were exhausted, and almost fell short. It was all thanks to Xiao Yi and Guo Jia's ingenuity that they defeated Lu Bu!

In contrast, Jizhou is fertile and wild, with abundant water conservancy. It has been a place rich in food since ancient times. The logistics is too strong. If Yuan Shao goes to war without declaring and gathers all the troops from the four states to go south, Cao Jun may be in a hard fight. Fortunately, people Here comes a 'gifts first, soldiers later', there is a buffer time!

It's midsummer in July now, and it will be golden autumn in three months. At that time, the autumn grain harvest will be abundant and the treasury will be full. Cao's army will be able to hold on to the expedition for a longer time. Besides, after the autumn harvest, the strong men of the people are also free to transport military equipment, food and grass, Even enlisting in the army and fighting in battle, so the start of the war must be postponed until after October, so that Cao Jun has a better chance of winning!

The second key point is the diplomatic war. Yuan Shao occupies Hebei, backed by the desert, which is an area of ​​nomads. Among them, the Karasuma people are greedy by nature and have been bought with money, so they will not invade the border; as for the Huns, the wild goose There were heavy casualties in the first battle, and the royal court was torn apart, so he didn't have the strength to go south. In other words, Yuan Shao could push all his troops to the banks of the Yellow River without any scruples. This is called single-line warfare!

On the contrary, Cao Jun is fighting on multiple fronts, with Yuan Shao's army in the north, Zhang Lu and Liu Zhang in the southwest, Liu Biao with malicious intentions in the south, and Sun Ce in the southeast. And to enter, people must be assigned to defend the pass. In this way, the troops used to fight Yuan Shao will be greatly reduced!

In the next three months, Cao Jun must send envoys, try every means to win over the princes from all walks of life, so that they can stand on Cao Jun's side as much as possible when Cao and Yuan fight, at least they must remain neutral and have one more ally. Just one more chance of winning!

All in all, time is the guarantee of victory. In any case, we must strive for three months to prepare Cao Jun for a decisive battle. This time the Hebei envoys entered the court, which is a good opportunity. In the footsteps of the visitor, if the envoy does not return, Yuan Jun will not come out!
