"I'm here." Man Chong lowered his head slightly.

Cao Cao said: "This matter will be entrusted to you, but if you need anything, come and find me!"

Man Chong nodded first, then looked at Cao Cao, "If..."

"Repay to someone!" Cao Cao's expression was as hard as a rock and could not be changed.

Man Chong lowered his head, and seeing that Cao Cao had nothing else to do, he said goodbye to Cao Cao.

Cao Cao nodded, and then waited for Man Chong to leave, his expression relaxed a little, looked at Xun Yu, and then said: "Follow me... I will return soon..."

『?)?Д?(!』 Even though Xun Yu was usually calm and composed, he still couldn't help showing surprise and joy after hearing the news.

"I am not allowed to garrison troops for two hundred miles around Wancheng, so I changed my position to serve as a filial piety..." Cao Cao sighed, "Hussars... Haha, this is a demonstration..."

Xun Yu didn't know what to say for a while. Is it great? But this is almost equivalent to the condition of losing sovereignty. Is it too bad? But after all, Guo Fengxiao's return was beyond Xun Yu's expectation.

"The hussar is determined to be in the world..." Cao Cao stretched out his finger and drew a circle, "Someone still underestimated him... This world is not just the land of Shandong and Shanxi... This hussar has actually sent

Liu Xuande marched into Jiaozhi..."

"Jiaozhi?!" Xun Yu was stunned.

Cao Cao pinched his beard and said, "Yes, the land of Jiaozhi is full of barbarians. What's the merit?"

"Jiaozhi" was originally a word used in ancient Chinese books to describe the customs of the "Southern Barbarians". It later evolved into a regional name. "Book of Rites: Kingship" says: "China's Rong and Yi, the people of the five directions, all have their own nature, and they cannot

As time goes on...the south is called barbarian, and there are people who eat without fire."

"Diaoti" means there are patterns on the face. "Jiaozhi" does not mean that the toes are crossed, but means that the feet are crossed when sitting or sleeping.

The sitting etiquette of the Han Dynasty is largely derived from the ancient Spring and Autumn Period. Not to mention sitting cross-legged, even "sitting with a dustpan" is an extremely rude behavior.

Even when sleeping, the ancients would lie on their sides. Although they would bend their knees, they would rarely cross their legs. This is because the ancients believed that "lying on your side with your knees bent is better than lying on your back."

It even describes the standard of this side-lying posture in more detail, "When lying on the left side, bend the left foot, bend the left arm, put the head on the hand and extend the right foot, and place the right hand between the right thighs. When lying on the right side, instead...

…』

It is precisely because of this etiquette that people in the Jiaozhi area of ​​South Vietnam had this habit of crossing their legs, which impressed the ancient Chinese people so much that they even called it "Jiaozhi".

During the Western Han Dynasty, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty attacked South Vietnam not because Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty had any deep understanding of Southeast Asia, but because at that time, after the Pre-Qin Dynasty, the South Vietnam Kingdom verbally recognized the monarchy of the Han Dynasty, but in fact it did not directly accept it.

It was under the jurisdiction of the Han Dynasty, and the relationship between the central government of the Han Dynasty when Zhao Tuo and Queen Lu were in power was tense for a time. Although they later rebelled and surrendered again, it was still a problem until Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty sent troops to destroy Nanyue and establish three counties.

But after Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty obtained a large amount of war plunder and wealth when he destroyed South Vietnam, there was almost no additional profit in the future. Even the so-called Maritime Silk Road was a small effort, otherwise there would be no need for it.

It was not until the later feudal dynasty that it was expanded...

Therefore, in the thinking and cognition of Cao Cao and Xun Yu, what does Jiaozhi have? What can it have? What exactly does the hussar general Fei Qian want to do when he sends Liu Bei to attack Jiaozhi?

Even though the two of them are considered extremely smart people nowadays, they are missing some key pieces of information, making it difficult for the two of them to get a full picture no matter how hard they try to piece it together. In the end, they have to wait and see.

Give up the exploration of Jiaozhi and keep your questions for subsequent answers.

"My lord," Xun Yu said to Cao Cao with some worry, "the strategy of hussar is feasible in Xijing, but it is difficult to apply in the east capital... Times are different, and places are also different. If we copy them blindly, there may be many mistakes."

OK..."

Cao Cao frowned, which was completely different from his previous aggressive attitude. He sighed and said, "Why don't you know? It's just that there are so many constraints now. How can we win in the long run?"

Cao Cao was not unclear about the plans of the Shandong nobles. After all, there were many people in Shandong, and even if there were losses, they would recover quickly. In addition, Liu Xiu had used this method to finally conquer Chang'an and gain the unification of the Han Dynasty, so

The Shandong gentry also believed that this time it would at best be a repeat of the old incident in Kuai Xiao.

Cao Cao thought the same way before, but...

After the Battle of Wancheng, Cao Cao discovered that things might not be that simple.

Cao Cao instinctively felt that something was wrong, especially after meeting Fei Qian. This feeling of something wrong became even stronger, and it even made Cao Cao start to examine his previous behavior, wondering if he had fallen into Fei Qian's trap again.

Amidst such suspicion and scrutiny, Cao Cao's control of public opinion in Shandong Shilin this time is the first step in his strategic change...
