Chapter 706: The world is windy and rainy, and people are frightened (1)
"The North Subway Hoof is going south..."
In the study of the Prime Minister's Mansion, Cao Cao walked past the ancient desk table, stroked the bookshelf, and looked at the open window frame, the mottled sunlight and the birds singing formed a vibrant scene. Occasionally, a cool breeze blew in, and when his beard moved slightly, an indignant voice sounded behind him.
"Gongsun Zhi is a wolf's ambition"
During the seat, Xun Yu, who knew his destiny and age, got up and walked to the middle to arch his hands. The whole face showed an angry look: "You must not agree to the title of king! Once the first is set, those who are like Liu Bei and Sun Quan will follow suit, and the country will be restless."
In September, Gongsun Zhi and his two troops took Xu Rong, Bingzhou and Tian Yu, Tian Yu, Youzhou, and a total of 250,000 people to go south, threatening Jizhou, Hedong and Henoi. Even if many people had a premonition that the army returning to the west would come south, they didn't expect that the fire would burn so quickly.
First of all, he was hit like lightning in a corner of Liaodong. In the information sent back, many people realized that Gongsun Zhi was just a cover for the inspection of the three armies. The assassination incident that was found in the brink of the brilliance of the brilliance was fake, but this was no longer important. He used Liaodong to kill chickens and warn monkeys, collecting food, fodder and supplies, and creating the most favorable conditions for the three armies to move south. Now many conditions are ripe.
"He dares not go south easily, Wenruo should not be impatient."
Cao Cao closed his eyes, rubbed his forehead with a headache, turned around and waved his hand to let the other party sit back on the seat, "After returning from the Western Expedition, many soldiers need to be comforted, and it is also worthy of being promoted. When Feng Xiao was still alive, he told Cao that he would be crowned king and moved to Jinyang to monitor every move..."
"Lord, this is the time and the time!" Cheng Yu also spoke to dissuade him at this time.
Cao Cao waved his hand, sat back behind the desk, looked at the crystal clear glass cups on it, and sighed: "...What you said, how could Cao not know? There is no news at all. He was granted the title of king, and he would not be able to be a king. He would not dare to call him king without authorization, as if he had rebelled, the prestige of the Western Expedition had disappeared, so he took a step and forced the court to do so."
"He is also forcing his lord." Xun Yu raised his hand and said, "No matter whether he was filial to the past or today, Yu would never agree with Gongsun Zhi's title of king. Now that the Han Dynasty is in decline, all the ambitious people in the world have risen together..." The cool breeze passed through the hall, and the white and long beards trembled in the breeze, and he slowly bowed: "...Master, please pity the last bit of face of the Han Dynasty."
After speaking in a low voice, the advisers such as Cheng Yu, Xun You, Man Chong and others in the room fell silent. Cao Cao gently tapped the desk table with his fingertips and whispered: "But the soldiers and horses from the north have already been placed in front of you and me. Gongsun is a man who has never speculated that over the years, he has reached middle-aged and has experienced many things. He is no longer the governor of several counties. He is good at using war to support war. If he is not given a title, his soldiers under his command will probably not give up. Once someone provokes the war first, I am afraid that Gongsun will have to fight if he doesn't want to fight."
"Lord, I'll say for a bluntly, the Central Plains has only recovered its vitality in the past two years since the Battle of Chibi. Although they have sufficient food and fodder, they have to go to war with the North. The combat strength of the soldiers is quite inferior. Only in terms of food and fodder can they have an advantage..." Xun You stood up and said to the other counselors around him: "........ The soldiers in the Northland are warlike and have come out all the way since Gongsun Zhi started his family. They are quite enthusiastic about war. In addition, they returned to the west and were supplemented by 180,000 war-torn soldiers. Once they go south, the Central Plains are flat, and several northern cavalry can cut off the connection between cities. At that time, from large states to small cities, they can only fight on their own. According to Gongsun Zhi's previous tactics, it is very likely that they will be defeated one by one by one by him."
"Gongda's analysis is good, but the soldiers' combat power is not as good as that." Cao Cao's voice suddenly became fierce, "There is a huge difference. When Gongsun returned from the Western Expedition, the domestic war was eliminated, which made Liu Bei and Sun Quan dare not act rashly. The people and the army are extremely prestige. If they really want to fight, will the soldiers of the Central Plains have the intention to fight!?"
The words were slightly relieved, and for a moment, he raised a finger: "But Gongda is right. The foundation of the Central Plains is much thicker than that of Gongsun's northern land. It's not the result you and I want to see! After finally the country was at peace for several years, if there were civil strife again, the purpose of the Western Expedition would become a huge joke, and I, Han people, became the laughing stock of other countries!"
"No matter what, the title of king will not be given to him for the time being. Just do this. You can go back first, think about the countermeasures, and discuss them later."
After everyone left one by one, Cao Cao took Xu Chu out of the study room. The sun shone down, and the cicadas were still roaring among the trees as before. He raised his head, letting the mottled fallen trees reflect on his face, narrowing his eyes, the eternal country, the flowing world figures, Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu, Dong Zhuo, Gongsun Zan... How many people are there in the past eighteen princes now.
"Huang Tianhou is on the top... Starting today, we will gather together to fight against the traitor Dong Zhuo." The voice floating in the past seemed to ring in my ears again. Being among the three armies of sour jujube, looking at the energetic leader Yuan Shao on the platform.
"father…"
"Master!"
Xu Chu called out his voice behind him, and Cao Cao came to his senses: "What's the matter?" When he turned his head, he found that his daughter Cao Yu was standing there looking at him under the eaves of the corridor opposite the courtyard.
"Qinghe..." Cao Cao looked at her for a moment, and his face became complicated, and waved: "... Come here, you have something to tell you for your father."
"What's the matter? My daughter heard that the situation in the north is in critical condition. Is it going to fight? Isn't my father's relationship with Governor Gongsun quite good? Do you have to fight with each other?"
As his daughter approached, Cao Cao's face was calm and not as serious as he was about to fight. When he heard the words he asked, he just said lightly: "It's just a bad plan. By the way, you have seen Gongsun Zhi before... Do you want to see him again?"
Cao Yu stopped, with an indescribable look on her face, but she just stood in the light with a silk handkerchief. She watched the slightly hunched back slowly walking forward, but her mind was buzzing, thinking of the man she had admired in her childhood memory.
Now the war is fierce and the huge court is in conflict. The factional struggle is also in conflict. Various families have different ideas when facing the iron hoof that is about to move south. Cao Cao dare not show anxiety on his face. Even if he has an old age with Gongsun Zhi, he cannot guarantee that the other party will not really come. The more he understands Gongsun Zhi's strength, the more cautious he will treat it. Today, few people may have achieved it. This is a person who has really fought from his twenties to his early forties. His experience is difficult and difficult for ordinary people to compete with.
"The only thing I can hold on for a moment is that I will be able to argue with him..."
In his soft words, even Xu Chu behind him could feel the huge pressure on his lord.
