Not long after Xun You returned home, because of his great reputation, Shu Dazhaofeng was dragged out to become an official and asked him to be a "City Prime Minister" in the bustling area of ​​the Central Plains. The communication with the outside world is not smooth, so he will not be affected by the war in the Central Plains, so he applied for an official position as a governor of Shu County, and planned to take root in the Southwest.Unexpectedly, halfway through the journey, the road was cut off because of the war, and there was no choice but to stop in Jingzhou.

At that time, Cao Cao followed Xun You's suggestion and welcomed the emperor to Xudu. Hearing Xun You's reputation, he immediately gave him an olive branch. It’s time to work hard, and it’s been a long time since Gu became a Shuhan?” The general meaning is that the world is in chaos now, and it’s time for smart people like you to come out to do big things He is much smarter than Liu Daer), you want to go to Shuhan, but I think the situation there is not stable, and there may be big changes in the near future.

Facts have proved that there is no magic stick in this world, and the so-called flawless strategy is only based on accurate information and reasonable inferences, and Cao Cao himself can also consider making a guest appearance occasionally.

In fact, the ruling power of the Bashu area at that time was in the hands of Yizhou Mu Liuyan. In order to strengthen his control, he adopted the method of integrating politics and religion. With the help of the strength of the Five Dou Rice Sect, the teaching advocated that Lu cut off the communication between Bashu and the Central Plains. In fact, the Bashu area at this time is equivalent to a semi-independent kingdom.In order to strengthen cooperation with Zhang Lu, Liu Yan and his wife both believed in the Five Dou Rice Religion, and at the same time welcomed Zhang Lu's mother to the mansion.

This Five Dou Rice Sect was originally a branch of the Yellow Turban Army. The so-called variant products, in the name of faith, can indeed achieve the goal of not picking up lost items on the road and not closing the house at night in the short term, but in fact, once you have mastered the right to control the spirit, you will not only be satisfied. on the spiritual level.Through faith, they in turn extended their tentacles to more than a dozen economic interests and seized a lot of wealth. The pure "Kingdom of God" ruled by Zhang Lu, at the same time, due to over-expansion, most people of uneven quality mixed in, what is similar to indulgences, secret confessions, physical sacrifices, and cures for all diseases Things like that are not lost to their western counterparts.Using the so-called "God's will" to interfere in decision-making, relying on cheap "justice" to plunder other people's property, causing great trouble to others.

At the same time, Zhang Lu also further strengthened his own personal deification work. In the propaganda doctrine, he declared that he is the incarnation of the sun, which is equivalent to saying that he is the legitimate ruler of this world. At the same time, he sent people to further publicize his childhood Please use the child prodigy template to imagine, including his mother being inspired by heaven and man to give birth to him as the leader.In addition, the teachings of Wu Dou Rice Sect originally came from "Lao Tzu", but for his personal image, he specially asked the congregation to compile the quotations of the leader, and sent people to recite them repeatedly every day. Smoothly, it means that the firmer his faith is, the easier it is to reach the kingdom of God.What is even more presumptuous is that he forced all the private schools in the Bashu area to say loudly before classes start every day, "Master Zhang is boundless, and life is boundless." Immortals and blessings will last forever, and life will be as long as the heavens."In the Bashu generation, he was like a local emperor.

Regarding this family business, Zhang Lu's behavior is quite similar to that of a certain Western counterpart in the early days. In addition to the above-mentioned behaviors, the most effective means they use to win people's hearts and amass money is "talent "Water", anyone who wants to let him see a doctor must first pay five buckets of rice. Fu Shui, after taking a good look at a few people like this, he will really ascend to immortality in the daylight.At that time, it was officially called "rice thief".

After the death of Liu Yan in the first year of Xingping (AD 194), his son Liu Zhang, styled Ji Yu, succeeded him as Yizhou Mu. Obviously, this new ruler is not taken seriously. On the contrary, this is his best chance to establish a kingdom under his own direct rule.As a result, he became even more insane. He refused to listen to the orders given by Liu Zhang, and raised a group of loyal congregants, ready to shed their blood for him at any time.

A few years later, although Liu Zhang's hobby was to write mandarin duck and butterfly novels about gifted scholars and beauties, and he was a gentle scholar just from his name, he was not a prince charming or a literary youth. vague.Immediately, Zhang Lu's mother and younger brother were killed.It is said that Zhang Lu's old mother is an expert in ghosts, and she is also a beauty.He was so ruthless, but in this way, the feud between the two families was ended.Zhang Lu, who fled to Hanzhong with the desperate protection of his subordinates, and Liu Zhang from Shu County confronted each other.

Liu Zhang sent troops to attack Hanzhong many times, but they were all defeated by the firm Zhang Lujun. The actual forces in Bashu were divided into two halves, and they fought each other endlessly, which also verified Boss Cao's rare crow mouth.

As one of the people with the most sensitive sense of smell at that time, Xun You also saw that his dream of Taiping County Sheriff in Shu County (Chengdu City) was shattered, and that Liu Biao of Jingzhou had no great prospects. Scholars all over the world set an example, so they immediately packed their luggage and went to Xudu to meet Cao Cao under the recommendation of Xun Yu.

Cao Cao first gave Xun You the post of Shangshu (court secretary), and then according to the usual practice, the first task of each counselor after taking refuge is to make an assessment report on the general trend of the world and the N "five-year plans" in the future.But no one knows what Xun You talked about, because this guy's hobby is to pretend to be stupid. Until his death, only Zhong Yao, who had a good relationship with him, knew about his twelve strategies, even his own son. Not sure either.Just when he was preparing to compile the book, he died after finishing ten articles. That's why Xun You's intelligence was not understood by the world.

After Xun You had an in-depth conversation with Cao Cao, Cao Cao made such an evaluation: "Xun You is not an ordinary person. I can work with him. What else can the world worry about?" Military division (chief of staff).

This attack on Lu Bu has been prepared for a long time. Lu Bu is an old opponent. Because of Chen Gong's betrayal, Cao Cao lost only Juancheng, Dong'a, and Fan. Later, he fought once in Puyang, and Cao Cao suffered defeats one after another. Because the locusts were everywhere, the two sides couldn't fight anymore. It was the most difficult time for Cao Cao, and he almost went to join Yuan Shao. Fortunately, Cheng Yu resolutely stopped his impulsive behavior.After that, there were several conflicts, and the two sides won each other.Later, Lu Bu and Yuan Shu, the emperor of the Zhong family, united and sent his elite Gao Shun and the trapping camp to attack Liu Bei in Xiaopei. Liu Bei defected to Cao Cao. At that time, there was a dispute among the counselors about whether to take Liu Bei in. The big ear was slaughtered, but Guo Jia refused to agree, and there was a lot of noise and excitement for a long time.But when Cao Cao decided to take in Liu Bei with an inclusive mind, he used it to buy people's hearts, and then sent his number one hunk, Xiahou Dun, to PK with Gao Shun, but he failed unexpectedly.As a result, Cao Cao made up his mind to take advantage of the power he had gathered in the past few years to destroy Lu Bu in one fell swoop.

In addition to the old and new hatreds, Xun Yu's analysis is also a very important reason, because if Cao Cao wants to compete with Yuan Shao in the north, he must first get rid of Lu Bu who is close at hand, otherwise he will be quarreled by Lu Bu in the Northern Expedition After leaving the old nest, the fun will be great.

It was under such a premise that when Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zan of Youzhou were in a stalemate, such a battle came in winter when it was not suitable for sending troops. "Sima Fa" said that there are no troops in winter and summer, which means that summer is prone to infectious diseases, and the corresponding logistical pressure in winter is increased, which is not a season suitable for marching and fighting.And to win in such a battle is their duty as military strategists.

Xun You looked at the data reported by the clerk in charge of grain and fodder, and his eyebrows immediately knotted. The attack on the city would have required several times as many troops as the defenders. Knowing that the consumption of this grain and grass is definitely not a small amount, plus the loss on the way of transportation. "If you don't solve it quickly, Uncle Wen Ruo will definitely read you to death when you go back. The grain and grass can only last for a month, and the surplus grain reserved for next year's planting must not be moved."

The problem of food is definitely a big problem. Food is the most important thing for the people. The three armies have not moved, and the food and grass go first. This is the truth.Thanks to the suggestion of Zaozhi, the captain of the garrison, the garrison plan around Xudu went quite smoothly, but it was not inexhaustible.A soldier costs nearly two stones a month, and a horse three stones a month. If you stay like this, you will burn money every day.At this time, Xun You could already imagine that Uncle Wen Ruo in the rear was buried by a pile of ledgers, and the swallow was very busy with all parties' requests for food transportation.After all, no matter how capable he is, he cannot create something out of nothing.If it's not resolved quickly - Xun You can already foresee being strangled by his little uncle in the not-too-distant future.

Xun You looked distressedly at the flag representing the comparison of the strengths of the two sides, "It's really troublesome - although the stirrups you provided by Feng Xiao improved the horse riding ability of tigers and leopards, General Yuan Rang also took advantage of this to lose to Gao Shun and those who were trapped in the camp. Shame. But last time Yuan Shu’s reinforcements were beaten away by them. After Lu Bu suffered a loss, he became a turtle in Xiapi. He couldn’t attack for a long time, and his morale was low. "

When the siege war turned into a war of attrition, it was definitely a kind of humiliation to the counselors, and it was also a path that people with normal IQ would not choose. After all, Cao Cao's family business was too weak to afford waste.According to common sense, at this time, the snakes should be lured out of the hole, and then the strategy of defeating them one by one should be adopted. The price to be paid for forcibly attacking the fortifications is definitely affordable by Cao Cao, who is now weak.

That's right, "weak and weak", living in the cracks, these adjectives can be applied to Cao Cao, a hero, and there is no exaggeration in it.He is often beaten like a jerk and runs around, but compared with those "honest men" and "heroes", such as Liu Bei, Kong Rong, and Lu Bu, even in the history books that bluntly say that he kills like hemp , and there is no record of him abandoning his wife and son.

For Xun You, Boss Cao’s evaluation is "foolish on the outside and wise on the inside, cowardly on the outside and courageous on the inside..." In a good way, he hides his secrets, but in a bad way, he pretends to be stupid all day long.For this quality, Guo Jia, who has been his colleague and partner for several years, is very clear, so he will not jump up and say "How can you do this!", but directly change the subject, "Now there is a Good news, bad news, which one do you want to hear first?"

Based on Xun You's understanding of Guo Jia, this "ghost" always suppresses his desires and first raises his voice, and he has to go around several circles when talking. From the current situation alone, there is no worst situation but worse. He replied: "It is estimated that none of them is a good thing, let's talk about the worse one first."

"Gongda, you are too uncooperative." Guo Jia exclaimed very boringly, "According to the news from Jizhou's detailed work, Yuan Shao joined Qiang Hu in the west, Liu Zhang in Shu County and Zhang Zhang in Hanzhong in the south. Lu, apart from Gongsun Zan in Youzhou, his only direction of development is the Central Plains. In recent days, Tian Feng has been persuading him to take the opportunity to meet the emperor."

Xun You's expression turned ugly, "Then what's the good news?"

"The news sent by Chen Yuanlong (Chen Deng) said that Lu Fengxian originally wanted to send troops to cut off our food supply, but later, due to Chen Gong and Gao Shun's quarrel, and Lu Bu's wife (not Diao Chan) Privately dissuaded, saying that the army was hanging out alone, and there was a danger of losing the old nest, so the plan was cancelled."

"Ha——this is really good news." Even Dan Ding, such as Xun You, inevitably twitched his face.If they were really going to be cut off twice, it would be better for everyone to pack their bags and go back to their hometowns.

Note: Chen Deng's character is Yuanlong, and he is also from Xuzhou.Smart and refreshing, well-read, elegant and literary.He rarely has the ambition to help the world and help the people. At the age of 25, he promotes filial piety and incorruptibility.Build agriculture and accumulate rice widely.Cao Cao appointed Deng as the prefect of Guangling, and Dengyin joined forces to defeat Lu Bu.General Fubo.Climbing in Guangling, widely exercising benevolence, rewarding and punishing in the Ming Dynasty, the people fear and love him.Sun Ce sent troops to attack Kuangqi City.Dengxian conquered Zhou Zhangzhong and beheaded tens of thousands of captives.The enemy raised the crowd and turned back.Deng Yibing lost the enemy, and planned a certain plan to defeat the enemy, beheading thousands of people.Moved to Dongcheng prefect.He died in the 12th year of Jian'an.

In the first year of Xingping (194), Tao Qian died of illness, and Chen Deng presided over it, and Liu Bei succeeded him as Xuzhou Mu, and he wholeheartedly supported him.In the first year of Jian'an (196), Lu Bu drove away Liu Bei, captured Xuzhou, and called himself Xuzhou Mu.Chen Deng changed to belong to Lv Bu in name, but he hated Lv Bu deeply and wanted to repay him.In the second year of Jian'an (197), Chen Deng and his father Chen Gui managed to dissolve the marriage between Lu Bu and Yuan Shu in Huainan, weakening Lu Bu's power.Later, Chen Deng went to Xudu as an envoy, confronted Cao Cao with Chen's plan to break Lv Bu's plan, won Cao Cao's praise, and was appointed as the prefect of Guangling (formerly governed in the north of Yangyang City, Jiangsu Province).

After Chen Deng became the prefect of Guangling, he moved to Sheyang County (now Baoying County, Jiangsu Province).He clarified rewards and punishments, emphasized prestige and governance, and revived the loose government of Guangling.In order to prepare a team of elite soldiers to support Cao Cao, he used both kindness and power to successfully defuse the armed forces of Xuezhou and turn them into his own use.At the same time, Chen Deng paid great attention to appeasing the people and developing production. In less than a year, Guangling showed a prosperous atmosphere.The people deeply admired Chen Dengzhi's governance, respected and supported him, and established a high prestige in the local area.

In the winter of the third year of Jian'an (198), Cao Cao sent his army eastward to attack Lu Bu.Knowing the news in advance, Chen Deng set out from Guangling and personally led elite soldiers as Cao Cao's pioneers to encircle Lu Bu in Xiapi City.After Lu Bu's death, Chen Deng was appointed General Fubo for his special meritorious service, and he was still the prefect of Guangling.

The author has something to say: Sima Yi said to Zhuge Liang, "I can eat a chicken in one meal." I even want to give that screenwriter a coffee table ==
