The Most Romantic of the Three Kingdoms

Remember [ ] in a second to provide you with wonderful novel reading.

Originally, under the Han family system, there were no county soldiers in the inner county. The prefect and the governor were not able to command the army. They only had the power to rule the people. Of course, since the Han Dynasty fell into chaos and the army started at sea, not to mention the governor and the state shepherd, the governor of the county has long been There are a lot of generals and soldiers, especially in war zones, or areas close to the enemy, such as the various princes who were in charge of the Dong Dynasty. There are generals, such as Yuzhou, where Sun Jian led the county and state with Sun Ben, Xu Wei, etc., and they were all military and political.

Therefore, Xun Zhen used Xun Cheng to lead the prefect of Mount Tai as a partial general, although it violated the Han system, but it was reasonable.

However, Cao Cao saw something from it.

Xunzhen's mansion has a wealth of martial arts, and there are many people who are capable and suitable to take charge of Mount Tai, such as Hua Xin, who is virtuous and knowledgeable. More than a hundred miles away, people are familiar with everyone, so he is a very good candidate. It can be seen from Xun Zhen's forward-looking employment style that he never uses cronyism, but now it is useless to anyone, and only uses him to serve as an army. Xun Cheng, one of the two highest-ranking people, what does this mean? Cao Cao saved it by himself, and predicted that Xun Zhen was still not satisfied with Mount Tai, and had plans to continue expanding it. Therefore, Xun Cheng, who was a general, temporarily led Mount Tai, and his intention was to facilitate the continued expedition in the future.

In addition, two other points can also corroborate Cao Cao's judgment.

Chen Gong is Cao Cao's current advisor, and he is a native of Dongjun. No matter how big or small the matter is, Cao Cao often consults with him. At this moment, Chen Gong is in the hall.

Cao Cao said to Chen Gong: "Xun Zhongren looks high, and since he is the prefect of Taishan, he should be accompanied by a famous and worthy partner, but the integrity shows that Chen Jiao is the prime minister. Who is Chen Jiao? There are many yellow scarves in the north and west of Mount Tai, not strong Soldiers and strategists are not enough to defend, but Zhenzhi uses Mao Jie and Yang Mi to join the army, protects the army with high hall, and makes Sun Guan, Wu Dun, and Ling guard the guard. How can he take this responsibility? Zhongren has a high reputation, and the rest of his generation have a low reputation, and the importance does not match. I think that Zhenzhi must be in Longwang Shu, and at the latest next spring, he will send troops to foreign countries again."

Chen Gong agreed and said, "The move of Guan Zhendong's appointment in Mount Tai seems to be a matter of expediency." He frowned and said, "Zhendong Ruzhen has the intention of making plans again. From the general's point of view, he Will it go north, or will it go west?"

To the north are Jinan and Qi in Qingzhou, and to the west is Jibei in Yanzhou.

Cao Cao was not sure for a while, so he asked Chen Gong and said, "Gongtai, what do you think?"

Chen Gong twisted his beard, thought and thought, and said, "The Yellow Turbans in Qingzhou are in full swing, Qi is in the hinterland, and Jinan is adjacent to the plain to the west. Gong thought that Zhendong should not attack Jinan and Qi in the north."

The Qi State is Jinan in the west, Le'an in the north, and Beihai in the east. These counties and states are all places where the Yellow Turbans are raging. No one with a normal IQ will attack the State of Qi at the risk of being surrounded by a group of enemies. . Jinan is better than Qi, at least it is not trapped in an environment surrounded by large yellow scarves, but Jinan borders the plain country to the west, the plain has Tian Kai, and the north of the plain is the Bohai Sea, that is to say, there is Gongsun Zan's powerful here The existence of power is not a good offensive direction.

Cao Cao said, "So, do you think the meaning of chastity is in Jibei?"

"Xuzhou has troops stationed in Dongping and Rencheng. One of them is to attack Jibei from the west. You can drive the Yellow Turbans in Jibei into Qingzhou and Dongjun, without fighting to the death, and take the opportunity to consume Qing and Yan's strength. The second is Also, because it is, Gong thinks that, in all likelihood, Zhendong is intended for Jibei."

Chen Gong's analysis makes sense.

"Expel the Yellow Turbans from Jibei into Qingzhou and Dongjun", or to put it another way, that is, "beggar-thy-neighbor". This was what Tao Qian and Ying Shao did in their early years. Tao Qian drove the Yellow Turbans from Xuzhou to Mount Tai, Beihai and other places. Ying Shao was more responsible than Tao Qian. He didn't go too far, but he also drove some of the Taishan Yellow Turbans into Jibei, Jinan and other places. Compared with the war of annihilation, this method of warfare has the greatest advantage, that is, such as Chen Gong. What he said, "do not need to fight to the death", can save one's own troops and people's strength, and in the context of Xun Zhen's obvious intention to annex Qing and Yan, there is a second advantage, which is still what Chen Gong said, "Take advantage of the opportunity. Depletion of youth, strength of Yan".

Cao Cao scratched his head, changed his sitting position to a more comfortable position, and beckoned to the servants in the hall to bring a partial map of Qingyan Xu Yu and put it on the table. He held his cheek and pressed the scroll on the map with the other hand From here, watch carefully.

After watching for a while, Cao Cao said: "Liang Fu is under the control of Zhenzhi, Chen Gongdao is stationed in the west of Sishui, and he threatens Kang's father. If Zhenzhi really intends to stay in Jibei, the situation will be very unfavorable for Wuyan."

The areas where Xu and Yan meet are mostly plains and hills. There are not too many narrow places. Only Mount Tai and Sishui can be used as barriers, and these places that can be barriers, or with the fall of Mount Tai, have been controlled by Xunzhen. It may have been arranged by Xun Zhen long ago. In terms of the overall strategic situation, Yanzhou is currently at an absolute disadvantage. It can be said that the east gate of Yandi has been opened to Xun Zhen.

Chen Gong was also very worried, and said: "Liu Yanzhou fought against the Jibei Yellow Turbans in the southwest of Jibei Kingdom, and it was not good. If the Jibei Yellow Turbans were forced by Zhendong to flee west and south, Liu Yanzhou would definitely be defeated. Once he is defeated, the East Commandery will be in chaos." He said to Cao Cao, "In view of the poor palace, Gongsun Bogui may compete with Liu Youzhou, and the situation in Ji is a little more stable, so the general should bring troops to help Liu Yanzhou."

Dongjun borders Jibei country~www.wuxiaspot.com~ In the west of Jibei, once the Yellow Turban of Jibei goes west, Dongjun will be in trouble.

Hearing Chen Gong's words, Cao Cao was noncommittal, and he thought of the secret book Bao Xin gave him.

Bao Xin's secret letter was delivered yesterday. Cao Cao has always been decisive. When leading troops to fight, he usually has to act according to his own needs, and he will be adaptable in the process of execution, but after reading Bao Xin's secret letter, he is surprised. Besides, until now, no decision can be made.

In this secret letter, Bao Xin proposed a dangerous strategy to Cao Cao.

He wrote in the letter: "Liu Gongshan is short-minded, stubborn and jealous of ability. , After a long time, the state will become a thief's territory, and Xuzhou's troops are prosperous outside. Taishan has been lost, and the east of the town's army is facing west. You and I can't rule the south of the big river. You may not have a foothold! Xinyi and the state do not drive and govern the country's remarks, they all think that if you are not the ruler, you can't live in peace and people, and you can destroy the thieves and Yuxu. , Only these two people, I want to seek them to welcome you, Mu Yanzhou. What is your intention?"

But he wanted to support Cao Cao and seize Liu Dai's power. Mobile users, please browse and read for a better reading experience.
