After being abandoned by Liu Bei, Cao Cao begged me to be a military adviser

At this moment, Pound's eyes turned red.

Nearly 10 soldiers returned from Xiliang.

According to Cao Cao's character, there is a high probability that he will be killed.

But at this time Cao Cao said that he would be in charge, which meant that these soldiers did not have to die.

This is the prime minister's greatest favor to Yongliang and Liangzhou.

Pang De immediately made a suggestion to Cao Cao to streamline Xiliang troops.

Wounded soldiers and veterans were all sent back to their hometowns for retirement, and handed over to the government for resettlement.

At the same time, [-] elite soldiers from Xiliang were selected to form an elite army.

The remaining Xiliang soldiers can be mixed into other generals.

This suggestion was immediately highly recognized by Cao Cao.

"Leave this matter to Ling Ming!"

"Don't worry, Prime Minister, I will do my best!" Pound clasped his fists and bowed to Cao Cao.

"Hahaha!" Cao Cao nodded with a smile, very satisfied.

The banquet in the army lasted for three days and three nights.

Camp Chinese Wu, all rejoicing.

In the early morning of the fourth day, Cao Cao received two reports from Xudu.

After reading it, the smile on Lao Cao's face gradually disappeared.

He reached out and pushed Liu Xian who was on the couch: "Ziyu, are you awake?"

"Prime Minister!" Liu Xian opened his eyes and sat up slowly.

Seeing Cao Cao's strange expression, Liu Xian hurriedly said, "Prime Minister, what happened?"

Cao Cao didn't speak, and handed the two memorials to Liu Xian.

Liu Xian took the report with both hands and checked it.

Of these two memorials, one is from Jiangdong.

Sun Quan went to the imperial court and put down the Shixie rebellion in Jiaozhou.

The translation is that Jiangdong soldiers took Jiaozhou without bloodshed.

Let me know now, Cao Cao, and give me a reward by the way.

Another news came from Yizhou.

Liu Zhang played to the imperial court, and Liu Bei recruited Sha Moke, the leader of the Wuxi Man tribe, and asked the imperial court to appoint Liu Bei as the governor of Nanzhong.

Wuximan is just a barbarian tribe in the deep mountains of Wuling County, and the leader Shamoke is not a concern.

Being recruited by Liu Bei is also insignificant to Cao Cao.

However, Nanzhong was originally under the jurisdiction of Yizhou, so it was not considered a state.

Because of Liu Zhang's incompetence, Meng Huo occupied Nanzhong all the year round.

Now requesting that Liu Bei be named the governor of Nanzhong is just to give Liu Bei a false name.

Liu Bei knew this, Liu Zhang knew it, and Cao Cao knew it even more.

Cao Cao said: "I wanted to go to Yongliang and Liangzhou, and I wanted to go to Hanzhong and Zhanglu. These two things made me hesitate, so I asked Ziyu to explain my doubts!"

Liu Xian smiled: "Bonuing Jiangdong and giving Liu Bei a Nanzhong Inspector is just a small matter for the prime minister, I'm afraid they will get a reward and make trouble again!"

"That's right!" Cao Cao nodded heavily, "What Ziyu said is exactly what worries me."

Liu Xian said bluntly: "My suggestion is to let Jiangdong's infighting make cakes for Liu Bei to satisfy his hunger!"

"Infighting, painting cakes?" Cao Cao looked at Liu Xian with a half-smile.

Liu Xian pointed to the newspaper and came slowly.

"Jiangdong said in the report that Jiaozhou Shixie surrendered without a fight!"

"But it was Bu Zhi who captured Jiaozhou, not Zhou Yu!"

"Everyone in Jiangdong knows Zhou Lang, but Bu Zhi's name is rarely known!"

"In my opinion, Shi Xie surrendered to Jiangdong, not afraid of Bu Zhi but Zhou Yu!"

"Even if Shi Xie wins Bu Zhi, Zhou Yu will still enter Jiaozhou. The final result is the same!"

"And Sun Quan gave in and sent troops to Jiaozhou, obviously because he was afraid of Zhou Yu's great achievements!"

"Yeah!" Cao Cao nodded, "Ziyu is right. Zhou Yu's position in Jiangdong is indeed not weaker than Sun Quan's!"

Liu Xian smiled and said: "The prime minister can add Zhou Yu as the governor of Jiaozhou, so that Sun Quan won't be happy even if he gets the reward!"

Cao Cao's face suddenly filled with a smile.

Sun Quan was afraid that Zhou Yu's meritorious deeds would shock the Lord, so he gave in to Zhi and went to fight Jiaozhou.

Now the imperial court canonize Zhou Yu as governor of Jiaozhou.

Regardless of whether Sun Quan lets Zhou Yu take up his post or not, there will inevitably be a rift between the two.

Jiangdong had an internal problem, so he naturally had no time to take care of other things.

Liu Xian continued: "As for Liu Bei, the imperial court can give him a fake governor of Nanzhong, and after he puts down Meng Huo, he can remove the fake character!"

"Wonderful!" Cao Cao suddenly realized.

The so-called fake governor means acting as a temporary governor.

If Liu Bei goes to fight Meng Huo, then the army can take care of Zhang Lu with peace of mind.

Liu Xian cupped his hands: "Sun Quan and Liu Bei are settled, the prime minister can take over Yongliang and Liangzhou with peace of mind, and send his troops to Hanzhong to destroy Zhang Lu!"

"Could it be that the military division has countermeasures?" Cao Cao smiled even wider.

Chapter 243 Divide the soldiers into three groups, a strategy to drive away wolves and tigers

"Exactly, this time my strategy is to divide the army into three groups and drive away the wolves!" Liu Xian nodded.

Lao Huang, who was waiting by the side, was very discerning, and immediately took the map and spread it on the table.

"Army, please!" Cao Cao stretched out his hand to signal, his eyes full of anticipation.

Liu Xian pointed to Chang'an City, Fufeng County, and Hanzhong with his hands.

"Our army is in Weinan at this time, and entered Fufeng County in Yongzhou after serving as Chang'an City!"

"The army stationed in Fufeng County can pacify Yongzhou County and then enter Liangzhou. It can also send troops to Hanzhong to the south and take Zhanglu directly. This is a strategic deployment!"

"En!" Cao Cao nodded, very satisfied with Liu Xian's strategic deployment.

Fufeng County is adjacent to Hanzhong, entering Xiliang to the west, entering Hanzhong to the south, and returning to Chang'an City to the east.

Liu Xian continued: "The army is divided into three groups. The first group of people should lead the troops to quell the counties and counties in Yongzhou first, and then plan Liangzhou!"

Cao Cao laughed: "It must be Xia Hou's wonderful talent!"

Liu Xian nodded: "Prime Minister can send two more people to help General Xia Houyuan!"

"Which two people?" Cao Cao asked.

Liu Xiandao: "Jia Xu and Pang De, both of them have one article and one military, and with General Xia Houyuan in charge of the overall situation, great things can be accomplished."

"Having these two is the icing on the cake!" Cao Cao smiled again.

Jia Xu comes from Guzang County, Wuwei County, and is an authentic Xiliang native.

Needless to say, Pang De was originally from the former Ma Teng department in Yongzhou.

Returning to Yongzhou with Yongzhou soldiers, the counties and counties naturally surrendered in anticipation.

Even if Pang De and Jia Xu had the idea of ​​acting recklessly, there was General Xia Houyuan behind them.

These three people are enough to become the Iron Triangle to pacify the two prefectures of Yongliang and Liangzhou.

The first team was finalized, and Cao Cao immediately asked Liu Xian, "Where is the second team?"

"Since the prime minister has sent troops to pacify Yongzhou, you can send envoys to Hanzhong to meet Zhang Lu!"

"Order him to hand over the traitor Ma Chao and attack Liu Zhang in Yizhou who does not pay tribute, otherwise the imperial court will enter Yizhou by way!"

"Zhang Lu may not hand over Ma Chao, but seeing that the Prime Minister has pacified Yongliang and Liangzhou, he may take the opportunity to send troops to attack Liu Zhang!"

Cao Cao laughed: "A military division must follow every step, one step at a time!"

Liu Xian continued: "The third group of people came to Xichuan to meet Liu Zhang, and they said that Zhang Lu accepted Ma Chao and intended to attack Xichuan, and the imperial court joined him in attacking Zhang Lu!"

Cao Cao stroked his long beard and nodded: "Although Liu Zhang occupies Xichuan, he is afraid of Zhanglu in Dongchuan. When the two Sichuans were at war, Liu Bei should have pacified Menghuo in Nanzhong, while Sun Quanhe in Jiangdong was troubled by the appointment of the Governor of Jiaozhou! "

"That's right!" Liu Xian nodded, "Prime Minister only needs to sit firmly in Fufeng County, and the two prefectures of Yongliang and Liangzhou will never dare to move rashly. After Zhang Lu and Liu Zhang start fighting, they can choose the opportunity to send troops and reap the benefits of the fisherman!"

"Hahaha!" Cao Cao laughed loudly: "Absolutely, this strategy of recruiting troops into three groups and driving away wolves and tigers is absolutely absurd!"

"The Prime Minister's absurd praise!" Liu Xian hastily bowed his hands in humility.

Cao Cao asked again, "Who are you sending to see Zhang Lu, and who are you sending to see Liu Zhang?"

Liu Xian said: "You can send Liu Ye and Lu Su to see Zhang Lu, and order Pang Tong and Yang Xiu to see Liu Zhang!"

"Yang Xiu?" Cao Cao was shocked: "Yang Dezu deliberately made it difficult for you many times, but now you still recommend him as an envoy?"

Liu Xian hurriedly cupped his hands: "You should do your best for the prime minister, and don't mix personal feelings!"

"Well said, well said!" Cao Cao nodded again and again, and felt that Liu Xian had matured, and when he did things, he could clearly distinguish between public and private.

The plan was decided, Cao Cao first summoned Xia Houyuan, Pang De and Jia Xu.

Then Liu Ye, Lu Su, Pang De and Yang Xiu were invited.

The first few people behaved normally and decently.

On the contrary, it was Yang Xiu who was a little ecstatic.

Yang Xiu felt that he must have moved the prime minister by joining the army with an illness, so he was entrusted with this important task.

"The prime minister attaches so much importance to it, he must do his best to facilitate this!"

Cao Cao smiled: "Do you know who recommended you?"

Yang Xiudao: "Could it be Xun Gongda?"

Cao Cao shook his head: "The person who recommends you is Liu Xian, the military advisor offering wine!"

"Liu Xian?" Yang Xiu turned his head to look at Liu Xian who was pretending to be reading in the corner of the big tent, and immediately changed his words: "Thank you, Lord Jijiu!"

Liu Xian put down his book: "You're welcome, Dezu, is your leg better?"

"Okay, okay, there is no serious problem!" Yang Xiu felt a thorn in his heart when he heard these words.

Speaking of the leg injury, he always thought it was Liu Xian's fault.

Perhaps Huang Kui was responsible for the verdict that everyone favored.

Yang Xiu was very confused, and even thought it was too nonsense.

He has no grievances with Huang Kui, how could Huang Kui harm him?

Moreover, Huang Kui is dead, and there is no proof of this.

But Yang Xiu is not stupid. Although he knew that Liu Xian did it, the prime minister must have protected him.

As the saying goes, ten years is not too late for a gentleman to take revenge.

Now that Liu Xian is showing his sincerity, he will not face him with a bad face.

But this account, he, Yang Xiu, will always keep it in his heart, and he will slowly settle it when he finds an opportunity in the future.

"You return to the account as soon as possible, and set off separately tomorrow morning!" Cao Cao issued an order to evict the guests.

"Yes, Prime Minister!" Several people clasped their fists and withdrew from the Chinese army's tent one after another.

Yang Xiu went out of the tent of the Chinese army, instead of going back to his own tent, he went to look for Sima Yi.

He and Sima Yi also fought openly and secretly before.
