Uncle, please help the Han family

However, to everyone's surprise, on the day when the heads of Mrs. Cao and Cao De were rushed back, Cao Cao was no longer autistic, and directly summoned all the confidants in Yanzhou to her bedroom.

With an ugly complexion, a towel wrapped on his forehead, and a blanket on his body, Cao Cao, who was in extremely weak condition, sat by the bed, with a wooden stool on his feet for support.He raised his head and stared at the civil and military officials in front of him. The grief and indignation in his eyes had disappeared, replaced by a kind of loneliness that made people feel distressed.

"Everyone, do you know what I called you here for?"

There was no wave in the tone, Cao Cao asked coldly.

"Revenge for Mrs. Cao!"

"According to the news, Zhang Kai fled to the south, and it seems that he is going to join his good friend Nanyang Juncheng. We can send troops now to capture that hateful Zhang Kai, and then cut him into pieces, peel his skin and heart, and dry him into a piece of paper." Human skin!"

"Yes, to avenge Mrs. Cao and Mr. Cao De, and let Zhang Kai know how wrong it is to live in this world!"

The mood of the generals can even be described as agitated. Not only the members of the Cao family and the Xiahou family have this kind of anger, but the others are also heartbroken for their lord's tragic experience.

"Catch Zhang Kai?"

Faced with such a ridiculous answer, Cao Cao couldn't laugh at all, took off the wet forehead towel on his head, threw it aside, then stroked his brown bangs up with five fingers, and said in a very bad tone: "You are because Are you afraid of Tao Qian, so you dare not say this name?"

"..."

Cao Cao's words directly stunned several people. They didn't know how to explain it for a while, so they had to look at each other in blank dismay.

"Elder Sister." Cao Ren was closer to Cao Cao, so he spoke relatively naturally, "Tao Qian is indeed hateful, but after all, Zhang Kai was the murderer who killed Mrs. Cao and Brother Cao De. If we want revenge, we should catch this guy first. As for Tao Qian, wait until..."

"Confused."

Cao Cao interrupted coldly, and explained directly: "It seems that Zhang Kai violated Tao Qian's order, and betrayed Tao Qian after killing my father. But if Tao Qian's order was not there, how could he manage these things?" Soldiers and horses?"

"That is to say..." Cao Ren asked in surprise, "Tao Qian ordered the killing of the old man?"

"He probably just wanted Zhang Kai to kidnap my father, and then his subordinates went against his wishes."

His eyes narrowed slightly, revealing a murderous intent that could penetrate the bone marrow, Cao Cao said extremely calmly: "But this revenge, if you want to avenge Tao Qian, you can only avenge Tao Qian, and only he can avenge it."

The reason is very simple.

At this stage, it would be stupid to deliberately send troops from Yuzhou to Nanyang. Even if it is really captured, it may not be able to win, because there is Yuzhou as a barrier in the middle, and this is an enclave.And Nanyang, along with Liu Biao's Jingzhou, and Wancheng's emerging prince Zhang Xiu, are places surrounded by various forces in the Four Wars. They are as strong as Cao Cao, and they may not be able to guarantee that they will be able to recover from there after completing their revenge. retreat.

But Xuzhou is different. This is an isolated land adjacent to itself and basically helpless. If it is won, it will be able to occupy the two states, with the Yellow River as the boundary, and fight against Liu Yu.

"If Zhang Kai just let it go..." Cao Ren asked puzzled, "Elder Sister, can you calm down?"

"So, let's make one thing clear."

Cao Cao said very philosophically: "The source of the anger is Tao Qian. The culprit is Tao Qian. It is Tao Qian who made me become like this. After this, killing Tao Qian is for my father. Revenge."

As for Zhang Kai?

As long as he is separated from this matter, as if the crime of killing is a person, not a knife, and maintain a rational attitude towards the murder weapon, then everything will be much clearer.

It wasn't because it was difficult to catch Zhang Kai across Yuzhou, so he let him go.

Rather, this incident was all caused by Tao Qian. As long as he was killed, his anger could be more or less appeased.

As for Xuzhou obtained after killing Tao Qian?

Just a windfall.

"My lord thinks like this, it's really admirable." After the female counselor Cheng Yubai finished speaking, she added seriously, "But I have a plan, my lord, please listen to it."

"Zhongde, say."

Cao Cao raised his finger and said flatly.

"We can prepare to attack Tao first, but before that, we first wrote a letter to Tao Qian, ordering him to send troops to attack Zhang Kai who had already fled to Nanyang. In order to crusade against Xuzhou, if he follows..."

"After he dispatched troops, he directly attacked Xuzhou."

Cao Cao interrupted.

"That's right." Cheng Yu nodded in agreement.

"Yes, good idea." Cao Cao nodded slightly, "It seems that anger still reduces some of my judgment, and I didn't even think about it."

Although Tao Qian is not a weak and incompetent person, his Xuzhou is a weak and weak army compared to Yanzhou's elite army. If Cao Cao could really "repay the life of the old lady Cao with the life of Zhang Kai", how could he Do not agree?

"That's it."

After clearing his mind, Cao Cao gave orders to everyone in a calm tone: "Dispatch the army, prepare armaments and rations, and hurry up to make three sets of filial piety uniforms, and be ready to send troops eastward at any time. At the same time, send people to put pressure on Tao Qian to force him to After my envoy arrived, the army was assembled within three days and Zhang Kai was captured alive."

""promise! ""

Cao Cao's order was already very clear. After everyone understood it, they immediately accepted the order without any doubts, even though their war to win Yanzhou had just ended and they still needed a period of rest.

Unlike Liu Yu, who fought steadily and steadily, Cao Cao believed in efficient attack.

How can such an efficient attack be achieved?

After taking Xuzhou, Cao Cao will demonstrate it himself.

"Cheng Yu stays, the others go down."

"My lord, I will take my leave."

All civil and military personnel including Cao Ren withdrew from Cao Cao's room, leaving only Cheng Yu, whom she ordered to stay, standing in front of the bed, waiting for Cao Cao's questioning.

"Zhongde."

Raising his head and looking at the female counselor in front of him, Cao Cao did not lower his voice, but his tone seemed quite confidential: "When we take Xuzhou, we will definitely be blocked by Kong Rong, Liu Bei, and Gongsun Zan from Beihai, and we can handle it. However, if Liu Yu gave up his plan to maintain stability at this time, and sent troops from Yecheng to attack Yanzhou, Xuzhou may not be easy to take this time."

"So the lord is going to create some trouble for Liu Yu?"

"It's a pity that the Black Mountain Army can't listen to me and provoke Liu Yu at this time. Therefore, we can only attack the interior of Yecheng at a low cost as possible."

"The lord means..." Cheng Yu understood immediately, "Use public opinion to infiltrate Jizhou?"

The phrase as low cost as possible means no troops.

If you don't use soldiers, can you only use "words"?

"Pure public opinion is not enough, this is too vague, it must be combined with practical actions."

Cao Cao moved his feet from the stool to the bed, then turned sideways, and lay down against the head of the bed.

Talking about this matter, she spoke in a calm tone, but said in an extremely serious tone: "You select some top-notch soldiers, sneak into Jizhou, and kill Han Fu."

"Killing Han Fu...that's wonderful!"

Cheng Yu understood Cao Cao's words in seconds, and immediately echoed, "Now that Jizhou has just been established, all the counties and counties are attached to Liu Yu. At this time, Han Fu died suddenly. Those county guards who surrendered because of Han Fu's example are all Wei, there is bound to be panic, and he believes that Liu Yu is a dishonest person who "killed the donkey."

Han Fu can die at any time, but he can't die when Jizhou has just settled down.

Death at this time, the impact is extremely bad!

Under such circumstances, Liu Yu still sent troops to assist Tao Qian, which undoubtedly exacerbated the instability in Jizhou.

"In order to avoid the suspicion of 'imprisoning Han Fu', Liu Yu will definitely not ambush guards around Han Fu's mansion, but he should specially order the officials in Pingyuan to protect Han Fu's safety as much as possible."

After some rational judgment, Cao Cao said very calmly: "Therefore, there should not be many assassins, but fine ones. The number of assassins should be at most three, and the selection of personnel and weapons must be elite. Only complete the massacre of Han Fu." .And. Yanzhou must not be exposed, but the opponent caught him instead."

The premise of public opinion attacks is to put the other party at a disadvantage and suppress morally, instead of being too rough in calculations and hurting yourself instead.

If the assassination of Han Fu fails, and it is revealed that I, Cao Cao, is the one behind the scenes, then other princes in the world, especially those who are as timid as Han Fu, who would dare to follow him.

"No, I will do my best to handle this matter beautifully and neatly."

Cheng Yu is a native of Yanzhou. When Cao Cao killed Liu Dai and recruited her as an official, she almost agreed.

Why?

She really appreciates Cao Cao's style of doing things. This kind of killing is decisive and without procrastination, which can be said to be a model of the best protagonist.

The reason why he did not take the initiative to go north to vote for Liu Yu in Yanzhou was closely related to the siege of Luoyang during the crusade against Dong Zhuo.

At that time, Liu Yu deliberately did not shoot arrows at them in order to protect the people.

However, as a result, the Xiliang army flooded like locusts, bringing even more serious disasters to the Central Plains.

Sacrifice 10,000+ people in Luoyang, and then completely solve Dong Zhuo's troubles. Is there any need to think about such a good thing?

Liu Yu, no way.

Cao Cao, all right.

"Yeah, you go down too."

It was only during the day today that I saw the bloody heads of my father and younger brother, and now I have to make so many arrangements, Cao Cao is already exhausted.

"My lord...forget it, Cheng Yu is retiring."

Seeing that Cao Cao didn't want to be comforted and persuaded, Cheng Yu stopped himself, bowed to her, and quit voluntarily.

Then, only Cao Cao was left in the bedroom.

Leaning on the bed alone, looking at the candlelight with empty eyes, Cao Cao slowly lowered his head, clutching his head tightly with both hands, biting his teeth in pain, feeling like he was about to erupt at any moment, but he kept trying to restrain himself The roaring emotions eventually turned into gnashing teeth, twisted and painful long moans...

…………

"what?"

Hearing that Cao Cao didn't blame him, but just asked him to catch Zhang Kai back to her, Tao Qian, who had been ill in bed for several days, recovered instantly, and got out of bed without even wearing shoes. Excitedly asked his eldest son: "Is that really what was written in the letter?"

"Look, father."

Tao Qian's son presented the letter to him with a smile, and his mood was quite relaxed. After all, Cao Cao didn't blame them, which is the most surprising.

"Really! Although Cao Cao questioned me a little bit in the letter, and even threatened me, all these angers were aimed at Zhang Kai."

When Tao Qian looked at the letter, he began to nod frequently, and said with satisfaction, "That's great, as long as you don't look for me. Zhang Kai, I wanted to punish this guy, even if I don't have to tell her."

"But father, Cao Cao asked us to dispatch troops to fight Zhang Kai within three days, will we have time?" the son asked curiously.

"In time." Regarding this, Tao Qian said with certainty, "Xuzhou has more than 7 armored troops, and I have dispatched 1 people to fight..."

Having said that, Tao Qian's expression froze, realizing a serious problem.

That is, people can indeed mobilize them.

But how to win?

If not going all out.

And if I go all out to start this battle for Cao Cao, what should Cao Cao do if he comes to attack himself?

Very dangerous!

"Father, what's the matter with you?"

Seeing that Tao Qian hadn't been happy for a long time and then frowning again, his son asked with concern.

"I have a bad feeling."

The years he has experienced have made Tao Qian vigilant and sophisticated. For example, he is full of vigilance about this matter: "We are indeed close to Nanyang, so we can try it out. There are also reasons for sending troops, and it is Zhang Kai's. Betrayal. However, if Cao Cao's goal is not Zhang Kai, but me and my Xuzhou...then I will even make my own enemies by doing this."

With Cao Cao's level of cunning, maybe he will completely forget the revenge of killing his father at that time, and attack him tacitly with Zhang Kai.

"Then, if we refuse..."

"If you refuse, Cao Cao has a reason to send the army here now."

Tao Qian shook his head, and said very seriously: "We are in the wrong, and this will undoubtedly offend Cao Cao."

Offend Cao Aman?

Just looking for death.

"Hey! Is it still inevitable to fight?"

Clutching the letter, Tao Qian felt a little tired.

He couldn't think of any good way to avoid the battle.

In the end, maybe we can only put our lives in the hands of others.

How did that happen?

An ally who used to fight Dong Zhuo together, but now wants to kill himself.

Cao Cao, you bully the old man, you are immoral!

"Report!"

Just as Tao Qian was cursing in his heart, a waiter came in from the house and reported seriously: "A female counselor who claims to have a way to deal with Cao Aman, please see Zhou Mu."
