"This person's wisdom is really unfathomable, and sooner or later it will become a big disaster for Cao Gong..."

In Dong Zhao's heart, a shuddering thought flashed.

Then.

He forced his composure and sighed with a smile: "Xiao Gongzi's clever calculation, Xia Guan can be regarded as having learned it today, admire and admire." "

Xiao Yuanfu smiled and disagreed.

Dong Zhao's smile was put away, but he said meaningfully: "After Cao Pingping decides on Zhang Xiu, maybe he will come to Xuzhou in person and discuss the world with Xiao Gongzi!"

What does it mean to come to Xuzhou in person?

This is clearly a threat, implying that after Cao Cao kills Zhang Xiu, it will be possible to point his troops to Xuzhou.

Liu Bei frowned, and his face deepened.

Xiao Yuan sneered: "I'm only afraid that Cao Gong will be happy first and then sad when he goes south to conquer Zhang Xiu, and he will not be in the mood to come to Xuzhou to discuss the world with me when the time comes." "

Dong Zhao was stunned, his eyes were blank.

What does it mean to be happy first and then sad?

Could it be that he is predicting that Cao Cao's expedition to Zhang Xiu will win first and then lose?

That's too conceited, isn't it?

If the prediction can really be so accurate, then it is not a miracle calculation, it is simply an opening of the eyes of the sky, an unpredictable prophet!

Dong Zhao disagreed, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, Xiao Gongzi, your words will definitely be conveyed to Cao Gong." "

Words are not speculative, this banquet ended coldly.

"Changsu Military Division, could it be that Cao Cao will march south against Zhang Xiu at this time?"

As soon as Xiao Yuan was sent away, Liu Bei couldn't wait to ask.

Xiao Yuan nodded and said, "This is indeed recorded in the history books. "

"Although it is recorded in the history books, I don't understand a little, after Cao Cao welcomed the Son of Heaven, why was Zhang Xiu the first to be recruited?"

Liu Bei was puzzled.

"Although Zhang Xiu occupies Wancheng, he has only a few thousand soldiers and horses, and he is the weakest of the princes. "

"Cao Cao attacked Zhang Xiu first, could it be that he wanted to be weak first and then strong, and destroy the enemies of the Quartet one by one?"

Guan Yu expressed his opinion.

Zhang Fei patted his brain: "I understand, this is what the military advisor said before, persimmons pick up soft pinch, right?"

"Zhang Xiu is not a soft persimmon..."

Xiao Yuan's tone was meaningful, and he got up and came to the map.

"Lord, please see, the location of this Wancheng happens to be between Xudu and Xiangyang. "

This is destined to be a barrier for both Xiangyang and Xudu. "

And now, although Zhang Xiu has few soldiers, he has Liu Biao as the backing, and he can continuously deliver grain and grass to supplement the soldiers. "

So for Liu Biao, Zhang Xiu is his minions who defend Xiangyang. "

Xiao Yuan said, and his hand moved in the direction of Xu Du again.

"And Wancheng is only more than 200 miles away from Xudu, Zhang Xiuruo, under the instigation of Liu Biao, commanded the Xiliang cavalry, and can come to Xudu within three days. "

For Cao Cao, this is equivalent to hanging a sword above his head. "

"Let's ask, if you don't get rid of Zhang Xiu and take Wancheng under control, can Cao Cao still be confident and bold to attack other enemies?"

After Xiao Yuan's analysis, he ended with a meaningful rhetorical question.

"As soon as the military advisor said this, I understood, Zhang Xiu is not removed, Cao Cao is like a stalk in the throat, so the first thing he did to welcome the Son of Heaven was to destroy Zhang Xiu!"

Liu Bei suddenly realized.

Zhang Fei took a few shots:

"I see, this is called the side of the couch, how can you allow others to sleep soundly!".

"Strategist, I didn't say anything wrong this time, did I?"

Xiao Yuan couldn't help but give a thumbs up: "General Yide knows how to draw inferences from one example, it's really impressive." "

After receiving Xiao Yuan's praise, Zhang Fei was like a child who had been praised by his elders, and laughed proudly.

Liu Bei shook his head and smiled bitterly, then looked at Xiao Yuan again: "Military advisor, then Cao Cao crusaded against Zhang Xiu, is this battle a victory or a defeat?"

"Didn't you say it from afar? "

"In this battle, Cao Cao wants to be happy first and then sad. "

Liu Bei's eyes moved slightly, and he asked, "What does the military advisor mean, could it be that Cao Cao will win first and then lose?"

"He's not just going to lose, he's going to lose badly. "

"If the timeline doesn't deviate, this time Cao Cao will fold his eldest son Cao Ang and his love general Dian Wei in Wancheng. "

Liu Bei was taken aback: "Cao Cao would lose so badly?".

"It's that miserable. "

Xiao Yuan sighed: "But it's no one else's fault, if you want to blame Cao Cao, you can only blame Cao Cao for floating himself, for the sake of a woman, he also pitted his own son." "

For the sake of a woman, he pit his son?

Liu Bei looked dazed.

"Cao Cao's operation, the lord will know it in a short time. "

Xiao Yuan said: "What we have to do now is to implement the government military system as quickly as possible, and we can explode an army that is enough to kill Yuan Shu as soon as possible." "

Liu Bei's thoughts were pulled back to his eyes.

"Military advisor, when is the time to crusade against Yuan Shu and capture Huainan?"

"Steady, we still have to wait for the time when a division will become famous!".

Xiao Yuan didn't say it explicitly, so Liu Bei didn't ask any more.

At that moment, as the Xuzhou Mu and the general of Zhendong, he personally deigned to conquer Zhang Zhao.

Sure enough, it was as Xiao Yuan expected.

Zhang Zhao has all his face, and he happily becomes an official.

Together with Chen Qun, he was appointed by Liu Bei to work with Mi Zhu Chen Deng and the young Zhuge Jin to handle the state affairs.

The civil service team was enriched, and the five counties of Xuzhou soon showed a new atmosphere of political communication and harmony.

At the same time, the government military system and the Juntian system were also rapidly spread in various counties.

Tens of thousands of young and strong people were organized into government soldiers and received land from the government.

Liu Bei's soft and hard power grew silently and frantically without the bigwigs of the Quartet noticing.

...

In the spring of the second year of Jian'an, Cao Cao's troops sent to Nanyang to conquer Zhang Xiu.

That month, Zhang Xiu surrendered without a fight.

The following month, Zhang Xiu rebelled and mutinied a surprise attack on Cao Ying.

Cao's army was defeated.

Cao Cao lost his troops and retreated north to the area of Yexian County.

...

At night, there are Su Mian everywhere inside and outside Yexian County.

The remnants of Cao's army were defeated, and they all wore linen and filial piety.

Inside the main hall of the prefectural government.

Cao Cao, whose arms were wrapped in black yarn, looked at the three spiritual positions, his face was full of pathos.

That was the spiritual seat of Cao Ang, Dian Wei, and Cao Anmin.

"It was Jia who neglected to supervise and did not expect that Zhang Xiu would be capricious and would fall back into rebellion!".

"Please, punish the crime!".

Guo Jia, a strategist who had recently defected, pleaded guilty to Cao Cao with a look of shame.

Cheng Yu and other strategists blamed themselves one after another.

Cao Cao sighed and waved his hand weakly:

"You don't need to blame yourself, this fiasco has nothing to do with you. "

"It was Zhang Xiu who surrendered without a fight, which made me complacent for a while, and I despised Zhang Xiu and failed to make a good deal of it. "

"In this battle, I folded my eldest son's love general, and I realized what it means to be happy first and then sad. "

Cao Cao was full of emotion and took the responsibility on himself.

Hearing the words "happy first", Dong Zhaoyu's figure was shocked, and a layer of cold sweat instantly broke out on his forehead.
