Three Kingdoms

Cao Cao sat in the hall, his thick eyebrows furrowed.

There were only Xun Yu and Guo Jia on the left and right, and the rest were excluded. No orders are given, no one is allowed to approach, and those who disobey orders will be killed.

Among the three people, there is a pile of letters, all kinds of letters, some sealed with bamboo tubes and lacquered, and some sewn from brocade bags. They are all different, but the recipients are all the same person, not Cao Cao, but It's Yuan Shao.

"...I don't think I'm too weak to treat this..." Cao Cao's voice was hoarse, like gravel rubbing against each other, "...Why is it still like this?"

"Zixu does not always exist among people in the world, but Wuji always does..." Xun Yu said, "...all the things happening today are just old affairs of Chu and Qin..."

Cao Cao raised his head, let out a sigh, and then randomly picked one of these letters, "Servant Zhang... Haha, I wrote it two days ago, saying that I have done great work in quelling the chaos, and I should increase my position as a general... Filial piety, you say , why can these people do such a thing!"

"..." Guo Jia was silent for a moment, and then, unable to tolerate Xun Yu's look, he just lowered his head and whispered, "... If you welcome a new master, you will definitely be promoted."

"Ah, haha...hahahaha..." Cao Cao was stunned for a moment, and suddenly laughed up to the sky, laughing so hard that tears flowed out, "That's right! That's right! Get promoted to a higher position, get a higher rank!"

Cao Cao grabbed a handful of various letters, raised them high, and then released them. He watched the bamboo bags falling one after another, as if watching the setting sun, "In this case, let's fight!"

Xun Yu frowned and said, "Lord!"

Cao Cao ignored Xun Yu, but turned to Guo Jia and said, "Tomorrow, I will summon all the ministers. Can I tell you what I want to say to you?"

Guo Jia cupped his hands and said, "I must have said that my lord will definitely win..."

"Good!" Cao Cao nodded, and then said, "We have food, grass and baggage. Wen Ruo also went to prepare one or two... Get ready to march to Yangshan..."

"Yang Mountain? The Sun of Mount Tai?" Xun Yu thought for a moment, and almost immediately understood what Cao Cao was thinking, but he still persuaded, "Lord, if this is the case, there is no way to retreat..." Xun Yu was I wanted Cao Cao and Yuan Shao to split, but I didn't want such an obvious expression or such a decisive split.

Cao Cao laughed loudly, "In this journey, have you ever retreated?"

Outside the hall, the autumn wind whistled across the sky, making a sound like an invisible giant waving a sword randomly in the air.

Xun Yu did not persuade him any more and accepted the order to retreat. Xun Yu is now like Cao Cao's chief steward and logistics minister. Many supplies must be deployed through him. Therefore, Cao Cao has to carry out some war actions. Other departments may not have deployed them yet, but Xun Yu has to get busy first.

Guo Jia raised his eyes slightly and saw Cao Cao staring at Xun Yu's retreating figure. His heart suddenly jumped and he quickly lowered his eyes. Then he felt that Cao Cao seemed to turn his gaze and scratched his head and face, feeling as if he was being pointed by a blade. generally.

"Fengxiao..." Cao Cao withdrew his gaze, looked at the sky, and said slowly, "...can we...win?"

Guo Jia still lowered his head and did not answer immediately. After pausing for a moment, he said: "Others can surrender or be rewarded... but our people... have no other way..."

Cao Cao pondered for a moment. Not only did he not feel discouraged by Guo Jia's words, but he smiled a little. He stood up and said loudly: "You and I, the king and the ministers, work together, so what if there are thorns all over the place?" Let's go! A true man, you should live in the broadest place in the world, establish the right position in the world, and walk the great road of the world!"

"I would like to take the wings of my lord to bring peace to the world!" Guo Jia bowed down.

"Haha, haha..." Cao Cao personally helped Guo Jia up and said with a gentle smile, "If someone is filial and polite, everything will be fine! By the way, someone got two or three roasted swans, which are very delicious. , can't bear to eat alone, and share it with Fengxiao and Wenruo... Come here! Go to the backyard and get the swan from the box!"

"Thank you, my lord." Guo Jia also smiled and said, "My lord, how did you know that someone has been greedy recently and has nowhere to look for it? If you get this delicacy, you will be happy again..."

"Haha!" Cao Cao laughed and pointed at Guo Jia, "Although the wine is good, don't drink too much! That's all, that's all, I know you are thinking about the wine in a certain house... Come, prepare two more jars of wine for Feng Xiao. And take it away!"

…………………………

"Mother, what are you..." Cao Ang walked in slowly and saw Mrs. Ding asking her servants to clean two boxes and lay brocade inside the boxes. He couldn't help but asked a little strangely.

"Zixiu! Why did you come out?" Mrs. Ding stepped forward quickly, grabbed Cao Ang, looked at Cao Ang's face worriedly, frowned and said, "Your injury is not healed, how can you run around?"

"Mom, it's okay..." Cao Ang smiled and wanted to pat the wound to show off, but he pulled at the wound and couldn't help but grinned, "Father, uncle and the others were also injured...Didn't my mother also say that? , How can a man be timid about hurting his body when he is walking on a thorny road? I have been in the house for a long time and am very stuffy. Come out for a walk...Mother, what are you doing? Aren't these two boxes your favorite? ?”

"You're right... I'd better go back and have a good rest later..." Mrs. Ding wanted to touch Cao Ang's head lovingly, but halfway up her hand, she suddenly remembered something, so she put it down and held Cao Ang's hand. He held his hand and said warmly, "My son will also inherit the great cause in the future. I still need to learn more from your father about the art of controlling people..."

"... The grains are six feet long, and there are only four beams. The cauldrons are full of hope, and they are harmonious and fragrant. The pigeons and swans are inside, and the jackal soup is delicious..." Mrs. Ding read with a smile, then turned to look at Cao Ang and said , "The roasted swan is a delicacy of the Chu State. It just so happens that these two lacquer boxes are also painted in the style of Jingchu. With the addition of Chu Ding, even a stupid person can understand it... How about it, my son has ever understood it. ?”

Cao Ang: "==_=?"

"Son, you really need to read more..." Mrs. Ding couldn't help but caressed the back of Cao Ang's head and said with a smile, "This is Qu Zi's big move..."

Big move?

What ultimate move?

A big move that A, B, C and D can press together? Do you want to push the joystick?

Cao Ang was confused.

"... Where is your father? These two swans are for Xun Wenruo and Guo Fengxiao..." Mrs. Ding continued while directing the maid to place the swans on the brocade in the lacquer box, "Think about it Ah, does this current situation look like the time when Qu Zi made a big move? Do you think your father is just to send two swans? No...Government and deeds are promoted, harshness is forbidden. Stop it. If you win directly, you will be close to Yu. A hero will rule, and Liuze will give you favors... Do you understand?"

Cao Ang blinked, half understanding...

"You still don't understand?" Mrs. Ding was a little dumbfounded, and started to chase Cao Ang, "Go, go to the study and look for Qu Zi's book and read it yourself! You stupid head!"

…………………………

"Ten wins and ten losses?" Liu Xie laughed dumbly. "What did Cao Sikong say?"

"Cao Si Kongyan, how can he be so virtuous..." Xiao Huangmen said in a low voice.

"Well, I understand, let's go down..."

Liu Xie nodded, asked Xiao Huangmen to step back, and then sat alone in the main hall, looking at the empty hall around him, at the speechless red lacquer pillars standing on both sides, and at the black lacquered and gold-painted partitions that sat securely. Frowning, he murmured to himself in a low voice, "Haha, well said, very well said..."

The voice was faint and thin, like the empty echo in the hall, but I don't know whether Liu Xie's words are good, whether he means ten wins and ten losses, or Cao Cao's words that are worthy of being said. …

…………………………

"Ten wins and ten defeats?" Jia Qu's eyes widened, and then he said, "Soon, Cao Sikong sent troops to attack Mount Tai? This, this is not..." Normally, he declared how bad Yuan Shao was and how superior Cao Cao was, and then followed the instructions Logically speaking, "If we fight Yuan Shao, we will definitely win, so let's start the war as soon as possible"...

As a result, Cao Cao twisted his butt and turned around to beat the Taishan thief? The soldiers pointed directly at the sun of Mount Tai, and then there was no sign of marching into Jizhou, Hebei!

Jia Qu, who had been paying attention to the changes in Jizhou and Yanzhou under the instructions of Fei Qian, the general who conquered the west, could not believe his eyes after receiving the information.

This turn of events not only blinded the titanium eyes of the crowd, but also blinded many old waists. This turn of events was truly unexpected and thrilling. It’s like a high-profile announcement that there are ten reasons why you can qualify for the World Cup, and then you turn around and find a kindergarten football team to practice your feet first...

What does Cao Cao want to do?

…………………………

"What does Cao Amo want to do?" Yuan Shao frowned and threw the newly obtained information on the table in dissatisfaction. What ten wins and ten losses is nonsense!

Tian Feng slightly twirled his beard, pondered for a moment, suddenly laughed, cupped his hands and said, "This is Cao Sikong's plan... My lord, don't worry..."

Yuan Shao became somewhat interested and turned around and asked, "I would like to hear the details."

While sorting out his thoughts, Tian Feng said: "My lord, Cao Sikong went south to Yuyang. Although he made gains, he also suffered losses... Therefore, Cao Sikong's remarks can confuse the audience, stabilize the court, and stabilize the court. Come on...hehe, it's also a warning...hehe, hehe..."

Yuan Shao nodded, couldn't help but sigh, and said: "So, did this Cao A'hao tell it to Gu on purpose?"

Tian Feng smiled but did not answer.

Guo Tu said from the side: "So, doesn't it mean that Cao Sikong is fierce in appearance and does not dare to fight?"

Tian Feng glanced at Guo Tu from the corner of his eyes, then raised his nostrils slightly and said to Guo Tu with his nostrils: "No! The public has a pure mind and doesn't know the evil of the human heart..."

Guo Tu chuckled, but his eyes darkened. Damn, you are a pure person, and your whole family is pure and good! After all, for a counselor, being pure-hearted is not a good adjective, just like a leader saying to his subordinates that you are a good person and talented, it is not a good word.

Yuan Shaoquan pretended that he could not see the small friction between Tian Feng and Guo Tu, and just continued to ask Tian Feng: "Yuan Hao has something to say, you might as well say it!"

"Cao Sikong wants to fight!" Tian Feng said decisively, "In the past, my lord ordered him to escort His Majesty to Yecheng. There were various reasons and various explanations to delay it. Now there is even this theory of ten wins and ten losses. This clearly shows his wolfish ambition! Therefore, Cao Sikong already regards his lord as an enemy, so he asserts that there must be a battle!"

Guo Tu was stunned, blinked, and couldn't help but said: "Mr. Tian, ​​what you said just now is that Cao Sikong has declared that he will not fight and avoid fighting. This time he also said that Cao Sikong has made up his mind and wants to fight with him. The Lord fights to the death... This, haha, is that what it is?"

Yuan Shao was also a little confused and nodded in agreement.

"The public has a pure heart and does not think about the secret..." Tian Feng said slowly, regardless of the fact that Guo Tu's face was as smelly as stool, "Now that the master's power is in Hebei, he is sitting in the quiet Hebei, and Yanzhou is within easy reach, how can he have nothing?" Turmoil? Cao Sikong saw that the government and the public were vacillating, so he declared ten victories and ten defeats to stabilize the morale of the army! However, now that Cao's army is exhausted, with a shortage of soldiers, and unable to fight, he has avoided it and moved to Mount Tai... My lord, if at this time We can send our generals to march forward from Yanzhou and directly into Xu County, and then we will be able to break their illusions, and we can definitely expect a great victory!"

"Oh?" After hearing this, Yuan Shao pondered for a moment and said, "I don't know Yuan Hao's intention, who will do it?"

"It should be General Wen! You can make General Wen take the lead and Zhang Junyi as the assistant. Just like when he marched west to attack Yecheng, he took Xu County by surprise! In this way, Cao Sikong will definitely be defenseless, and Yanyu will definitely be disrupted. Cut off its foundation!" After all, Tian Feng was very sophisticated and saw through Cao Cao at a glance, and then made targeted suggestions.

Yuan Shao seemed a little moved.

Guo Tu was on the side, but he was very unhappy. This old guy repeatedly said that a certain person had a pure heart. Considering his old age and the appearance of being half-buried, he didn't care too much about it. But what about the good-for-death thing? The Battle of Yecheng, isn't this rubbing someone's face on the ground?

So when he saw Yuan Shao's hesitant look, he naturally understood and said: "Tian Gong's words are wrong! Now Cao Sikong only said that if the two families go to war, there will be victory or defeat. He did not want to fight, so he turned his army to Mount Tai. It is also to show the lord that he does not want to be an enemy of the lord! What's more, if the army goes deep alone, if he wins, he will pay it back. If he loses, the whole army will definitely be wiped out! It should be noted that there is only such a cavalry in the lord's account! Now it is In autumn, Youbei has not yet been pacified, and Wuhuan, Xianbei, and Liaodong are three places. If we know that the lord has mobilized the cavalry to go south and cause chaos, how can we deal with it? Mr. Tian, ​​we need to put the overall situation first..."

After Guo Tu finished speaking, he suddenly felt sour all over his body and stroked his beard contentedly.

"Huh, you are an ignorant young man who has no knowledge of military affairs, so don't say anything!" Tian Feng said unceremoniously, "The cavalry turns to fight and rushes thousands of miles. This is the beauty of riding! If you ride to Yanzhou, it will be like a hot blade cutting you." Zhi, directly exploit the disadvantages, wait until the government and the public are turbulent, and the morale of the army is shattered, then the lord can win without fighting! The suspicious troops in Youbei can be planted, and when they know, our army will also return. This is the best strategy! Lord, please don't hesitate!"

"If we lose, my lord's five thousand fine cavalry will never come back!" Guo Tu also said without any sign of weakness, "It doesn't matter, even if Youbei is turbulent, General Wen can rush back in time. After running for thousands of miles, his horse power is exhausted. How can we fight? If the Zhengxi comes again, how will the Lord respond? It should be noted that on the side of Yinshan Mountain, there are also 4,000 Zhengxi cavalry, and nearly 10,000 Xiongnu cavalry! If General Wen suffers a slight loss, let alone Youbei. We are all under the hooves of Zhengxi! Lord, don’t be careless!"

Tian Feng turned his head and glared at Guo Tu, and Guo Tu also looked at Tian Feng with contempt.

Yuan Shao saw Tian Feng and Guo Tu fighting each other like cockfighting cocks, blowing their beards and staring. He couldn't help but feel a headache. He pinched his temples on both sides, and then said: "I know, I know... you two will retreat for now." Next, please allow me to think about it for a moment, think about it for a moment..."
