It has been a while since the Guandu War of that year. And this period of rectification and internal purging also further consolidated Cao Cao's strength.
At present, although the world is still divided and fragmented, there are basically no princes who can really enter Cao Cao's eyes.
With the successive demise and fall of the Yuan Shu and Yuan Shao brothers, Cao Cao seemed to have a tendency to become the largest force in the north.
In the great north, there is no rival.
After such a long period of recuperation and recuperation, it is not that Cao Cao does not have the strength to expand outward, but he did not wait for that perfect opportunity.
In Cao Cao's view, this opportunity is unlikely to appear in three or five years.
Therefore, he simply focused on internal rectification.
On the surface, it seems that a lot of time has been wasted, but in fact, a fairly strong foundation has been laid, which is the biggest support in the world.
Cao Cao's eyes shrank, and he couldn't help repeating, "It's impossible!" Can
he still understand himself?
That's not the biggest joke in the world!!
"Oh?" "
Although Yuan Shao was defeated in the Guandu War, he still gathered hundreds of thousands of remnants of soldiers and more than 100 generals with a call! His two sons, each guarding one side, were full of wings!"
Their strength is far stronger than that of the prime minister, if they attack again, the prime minister may not be able to hold Xuchang
, so how can he take the initiative to attack?" "In the past, when Yuan Shao was at its strongest, he could not defeat Cao Cao, and today he is still breathing, so what can he do to fight Cao Cao?" "
After the first battle of Guandu, Yuan Shao is a lost dog, it would be good to be able to save his own life, what else do you want? The unification of the northern land is the trend of the times, and no one's strength can stop it!"
Liu Xuan was unhurried, calm, and methodical, "Moreover, a great opportunity is about to appear!" "
What opportunity?" Cao Cao was short of breath.
Dominate the North.
There's not a day he doesn't want to.
It's just too difficult.
War is not only a contest of the combat effectiveness of the armed forces and the command ability of generals, but more importantly, comprehensive national strength.
And comprehensive national strength is quite a complex concept.
It's not just about money and food, it's also about the entanglement of intertwined forces.
Relatively speaking, the Yuan family has an absolute advantage, after all, the fourth generation and the third duke, and the protégés and former officials are all over the world. Their appeal can be imagined, and the scholars are convinced to sit on the throne of the highest power.
is much simpler to manage, unlike Cao Cao, who is a prime minister who has so many money, but has raised a group of traitors.
If it weren't for these trivial matters, he would have had a lot of energy to seek the entire north.
"Yuan Shao is dead, and the two sons are fighting for power!"
These seven words were spit out, and Cao Cao's heart was greatly impacted.
He most hoped that there would be such a drastic change in the Yuan family, because this situation would be the most beneficial to him.
"This is simply impossible, first, Yuan Shao may not die, even if he really wants to die, he will start to discuss the matter of establishing the throne! Second, even if Yuan Shao dies violently and no successor is determined, then according to the law of etiquette, the eldest son should inherit his position, and many elders will also support him, how can they fight
?" "At this moment, they must have been incompatible, fighting openly and secretly! You are still a businessman who walks the world, how can you not know that Yuan Shao prefers his youngest son Yuan Shang?"
"Yuan Shao prefers young sons, I naturally know this, but this does not mean that he will leave his position to Yuan Shang! He is a hero
, so he will not be so stupid!" "To what extent Yuan Shao can be deaf, the sky can't see through it!" Liu Xuan did not hide the disdain in his heart, "Not only did he not even understand the establishment of an heir, but he also planted the root of the Yuan family's own destruction!" "
A son leads a state, and even military power is not restricted, isn't such a person the stupidest and most mediocre monarch in the world?"
"If Yuan Shao is really dead, and his two sons don't fight, what should they do?"
"Add fuel to the fire!"
Liu Xuan only said four words, and said that this kind of thing is really not too simple for Cao Cao.
"Listening to your words is better than reading a book for ten years!" "
Thank you, Mr."
Cao Cao was once again impressed by Liu Xuan's talent.
Liu Xuan hurriedly straightened him out, and even quipped: "Although you and Cao Cao have a character in their names, you are Xiahou Cao, not Cao Cao, we discuss and discuss casually in private, why are you so excited?"
"Make it look like you are the prime minister today!" "Hahaha
!" "Sir, don't bother me, I'm a businessman, how dare I be compared with a big man like the prime minister!"
I just listened to Mr.
's words, and my heart was so shocked!" "It's a pity that the current prime minister is not as blessed as a businessman like me, if he can come and listen to it in person, he will soon be able to level the entire north
!" "Old Xiahou, you can rest assured, even if Cao Apu has never heard my words, he can do it!" Talking about this, Liu Xuan looked into the distance and sighed from the bottom of his heart, "After all, he is the real hero today!"
If he knew his identity, Cao Cao would think that Liu Xuan was making a sycophant.
will even look down on the latter because of this.
But in this case, not only did he not get bored, but he was moved by Liu Xuan's affirmation.
It's not easy.
During these days, he has heard the most words, probably Liu Xuan's mouthful of Cao Apu, with a tone of ridicule and arrogance. The first time I listened to it, I was naturally very unhappy, but now, the more I listen, the more pleasing it becomes.
Moreover, he knows Liu Xuan better.
Cao Apu, who keeps talking, is not looking down on him, nor is he humiliating him, it is more like a nickname between relatives.
Hero!
He Cao Cao is a real hero.
was recognized as a great hero by the world's first strategist, Xuanyuan Jushi.
Looking at Liu Xuan's side face for a long time, Cao Cao spoke again, "I heard that when the prime minister and Liu Bei Zeng Qingmei cooked wine, the prime minister personally said that the heroes in the world are not only
himself, but also Liu Bei!" "Liu Bei is indeed capable! Moreover, it will be successful in the future
!" "But, that's all!" Cao Cao couldn't
help but jump his eyelids.
Even he was afraid of Liu Bei, but Liu Xuan didn't pay attention to it at all.
Could it be that he was wrong?
" Mr. didn't seem to take Liu Bei in his eyes, why was that?" he was eager to know the answer.
