"This kind of strange strategy is quite interesting..."

After hearing that passage, Cao Cao pinched the bronze jue, and ripples rippled in his sight. He frowned and took a sip, then put it down, got up, walked back and forth with his hands in his arms.

"…What's next for Gongsun?"

Wang Kuang is not a fool here. He was watching. At this time, after hearing Gongsun Zhi's words, his body was shocked. If things were really done, the whole world would be unified, as if it was not bad for him... I hurriedly stepped forward and added wine: "If the governor's strategy is successful, the whole world will be unified."

"It's too early to unify." Gongsun Zhi waved his hand, "...... The promotion of speech is just the first step, it only plays a role in fueling the fire. After all, the aristocratic families in various states, such as the Xun family and the Yang family, who are mixed between the court and the people, are the people who are truly promoting the unification of the Jiuzhou. There was originally a Yuan family, but it does not exist now."

Cao Cao carried his hands on his back and showed a familiar smile: "According to Gongsun's past attitude, he could kill a group of people..."

While he smiled, Gongsun Zhi also smiled: "The Prime Minister is also a decisive person. Why do he also check and balance with the great clans in the state? In fact, you and I know that there are their people in the court, their people among the people, and their hands are mixed in the trade of each clan. For example, in Yanzhou and Yuzhou, the court is bones and the prime minister is flesh. Then these people are the blood flowing under the flesh. Blood can flow, but it is essential.... The old blood is gone, and new blood will be injected, right?"

"Yes...even if you kill a group of people, the people under me will become a new group of big clans in the future." Cao Cao actually had half of his energy to make checks and balances in the families behind the officials in the court. Now Gongsun Zhi said that, he smiled and nodded, which was considered to be an agreement with the statement, "You killed the Hedong Wei family at a quick moment, and caused a lot of trouble. The way to chaotic times is to check and balance, use, and when the world is in hand, it will be peaceful... and then slowly, it is the right way."

Gongsun Zhi reached out and touched the little wine stains that were sprinkled on the table table, and twisted them at his fingertips: "A person must learn to grow along the way. If he goes on the wrong path and kills the wrong person, he must know to turn back, but I can still afford to kill a Wei family."

"Your temperament, you won't be entangled with you in this matter." Cao Cao looked at Gongsun Zhi for a while and pulled back the previous topic: "...The second step is related to these aristocratic families, how will you do it?"

"Before, I have talked about the illusion of controlling foreign enemies, but the premise is that these people are the key!" Gongsun Zhi stood up and walked out of the seat, stood in the middle, and paused word by word: "We must first calm the internal situation when fighting foreign countries!"

His smile gradually subsided, and he walked past Wang Kuang with his hands behind his back, looked at the wild king's city behind Dian Wei and Xu Chu, and his voice sank: "...These families are either greedy for fame or profit. The nine provinces of China are so big. In the future, there are more and more families and fewer land. People may not be able to feed them with their lives. What should I do if there is not enough food? Create public opinion, cut off blood and sweat, raise disasters, let the world burn the war again, divide the territory again, eat the big ones, and eat the smaller ones, and even if the appetite is bigger, it is not impossible to eat an emperor. The Yuan family is a living example."

"......The illusion of foreign enemies invasion requires them to guide them, and we need to lure them, the territory, wealth, slaves, and the reputation of expanding territory. Do they want it? They will definitely want it. If you don't want it, then his family will really be saints."

Cao Cao raised a finger: "Cao has a doubt. Not only are people from aristocratic families not stupid, but they are all very smart. If Gongsun wants to use it, how can they be willing to drive you?"

"If it were half a month ago, I wouldn't know how to answer the Prime Minister's question." Gongsun Zhi took out a golden gesture from his sleeve and threw it on the opposite desk. "If you revenge on foreign enemies, you will have a reputation for expanding the territory, and you will be confused by the wealth behind you. How many families will you not be moved? When I came to Hanoi to meet the Prime Minister, I had received the first batch of bonuses from the Western Regions, some blood-stained gold, silver and jewelry. If the Prime Minister wants to, I will ask someone to send one when I go back."

"The countries of the Western Regions?" Cao Cao took the string of accessories that only women in the Western Regions wore on their hands. He was stunned for a moment, and raised his head suddenly: "When did you do the Western Regions?"

Gongsun Zhi walked back and sat down on the cushion, "In the beginning of spring this year, 30,000 cavalry were sent to loot along the way... Has the Prime Minister never realized that my Gongsun Zhi has never allowed foreign troops to step into the Han area since he went south? If I had not adhered to the principles at the beginning, why would I fight with Yuan Shao so hard? Or what the Prime Minister saw at this time was not just 50,000 people in the Xiliang Military Region, but tens of thousands of grassland cavalry equipped with Han weapons and armor, and with fierce generals and formations, what do you use to block the cavalry in the wilderness?" He waved his hand violently: "...I can torture you ten times one round trip."

The wind strodes the beard.

Cao Cao stood there and was silent again. After a while, he suddenly sighed: "Gongsun did what Cao had not done... This may be true as Gongsun said. How can he create an illusion that can make people believe? Anyone will say it in vernacular terms, and others will naturally see it if they have eyes."

Gongsun Zhi called Wang Kuang to pour wine and took it to the opposite side: "The Prime Minister forgot that the Qin Dynasty had unintentionally entered the country a few years ago? I still have thousands of Qin craftsmen under my command, and a large number of Qin people's weapons and armor were piled up in the warehouse and it was moldy. As for the bodies of Xiliang Qiang, there were not many Di, and they were solved together."

As he said that, he ordered the giant man who was making jokes with Xu Chu: "Call Ma Chao over!" Then, he turned his head and smiled: "Ma Teng, the eldest son of Xiliang, is also very brave."

"Gongsun's steps are moving fast."

Gongsun Zhi smiled: "The poor can only be united with the poor, so that they can balance their hearts. If the Prime Minister is interested, introduce it to you, or go to Xiliang with me to see how the scenery there is so grand and grand."

Dian Wei only dared to run a piece of horse, and shouted at the military formation with a loud voice: "Ma Chao, my lord called you here!" At the same time, the two of them drank and laughed in front of the two armies, not like the tense attitude before, and suddenly they returned to the old friends who had joined hands to fight against Yuan.

A moment later, a general with a white robe and silver armor and a lion helmet rushed over, stopped at a distance of five feet, and then quickly stepped forward: "The governor only remembered me, Ma Chao at this time? When will the fight start?" As he said that, he glanced at Cao Cao over there. Xu Chu suddenly stood up, and glared at the big sword with a tiger head, "Where did the wild horse come from?"

"Then what do you want, fat man?" Ma Chao leaned on the gun with one hand, turned his head, and his eyes were filled with a shaking feeling, "......How about you going there?" He pointed to an empty place.

On the other side, Cao Cao frowned and whispered: "Zhongkang sat down." Then he looked at Gongsun Zhi, who smiled and stood up, patted Ma Chao's shoulder with a gun, "Meng Qi is wary, why not fight with me in the future? I heard that the Qiang people call you General Shenweitian?"

"That's a group of barbarians who were killed and screamed, and they were not as powerful as the governor's "White Wolf King". "Ma Chao's voice was majestic. Although he was talking to Gongsun Zhi, his eyes were staring at Xu Chu who was gritting his teeth, and he showed a gesture of being able to take action at any time. Then, he turned his head a little: "... The governor wants to kill foreign tribes, where can he go to kill?"

"In the west, you can kill to the end of the sky. How about spreading the name of your God-Majesty General's name even further?"

"I was a little moved by the governor's words, but my father still needs to make the decision."

"That's not possible. You, Ma Chao, still owe me a favor. Five hundred war horses are carefully selected. How can you give them for free? I will go to Xiliang to see your father, so I have to ensure my safety."

"Haha" Ma Chao patted his breastplate and smiled generously and promised: "Governor relaxed. When you arrive in Xiliang, Chao would be your guard. Even if my father wants to kill you, Chao would block it together."

After that, after a few more conversations, Ma Chao returned to the formation. Cao Cao stroked his beard and looked at the back of Fengyuan, "This Xiliang Ma Chao is difficult to get along with, so is Gongsun controlling it?"

"A person like this should follow Mao Fu, be soft and not hard, and say a few good words to treat you as a confidant." Gongsun Zhi raised Tong Jue: "This matter must be implemented, and Ma Teng can't get around, but Ma Chao is a chess piece to open up the situation." Then, he dipped his fingers in wine and lit two points on the table, "Everything is implemented, there are still two more important people who are far from implementing it."

Cao Cao narrowed his eyes, then closed it gently for a while, "Gongsun refers to Liu Zhang, Yizhou and Liu Biao, Jingzhou?" Speaking of this, he seemed to understand the key point: "These two of them are relatives of the Han Dynasty. If the invasion of foreign enemies is confirmed, they will naturally stand up and call on the princes of the world. Including the aristocratic families, the people's speeches are praised and induced... the situation is really opened up like Gongsun's arrangement."

"Isn't it what the Prime Minister wants?"

Gongsun Zhi looked at the sky. At this time, the sun was almost set. "It was getting late, let the soldiers go back to the camp to rest. I know there are still some things that have not been discussed with the Prime Minister. The Prime Minister naturally would not feel at ease. Why not join the wild king together and stay in the mansion and talk at night with candles?"

"It's so good. Cao came all the way from Jizhou, and didn't dare to delay. He was really tired." This voice was considered a substantial decision. Cao Cao got up and sorted out his armor, "Mr. Wang."

"Kuang...Kuang will go back and have someone prepare." Wang Kuang responded quickly.

The wind whimpered across the field, rolled up smoke and dust and ran over between the two armies. The two sides made a brief appointment and returned to their respective army to arrange some affairs. What Gongsun Zhi did not say in the end was actually about the distribution of interests between the two places. In such a situation, the situation behind him and the interests must always be put to the end as the finale.

On the way back, Dian Wei asked in a low voice: "Lord, where did we get tens of thousands of cavalry?"

"Scared him!"

Gongsun Zhi smiled and said, and turned his head and returned to the city in a hurry. Cao Cao rode his horse back into the military formation in the guards. He said, "...If there is, what else can I do if there is one."

The war that was about to begin came to an end strangely. Since Yuan Shao's death, the alliance over the past few years has also been broken. In terms of direct interests, both sides have suffered more or less great losses. After the separation from Guandu, this was the first time that the two of them met in more than a year. Although they each led different people, their long-term friendship and trust were still there.

It became dark, and nearly a thousand guards from both sides escorted the two to the city gate.

"Please please!"

"Haha, let's go together."

“…If this happens, when will a batch of grain be transported to the north?”

"Fuck, I'm still hoping that Gongsun will release the commercial road as soon as possible. The warehouse tendons are about to be used up, and some of them are burned by your people... I'm seeing the bottom."
