The Three Kingdoms Fight for the Deer

Chapter 484
"Dian Wei has been taught, but it's a pity that I didn't get to know General Zhao earlier, otherwise my martial arts will definitely be improved even more." Dian Wei clasped his fists respectfully to Li Yuan.Cao Cao was also taken aback for a while, because Dian Wei had never tried to be so respectful to others except him, which proved how powerful Li Yuan was.

After listening to Li Yuan's words, everyone dispelled their doubts about him, and Cao Cao was even more happy, thinking that Li Yuan's ability might be more powerful than he imagined.

"General Zhao's comprehension of martial arts makes us deeply admired. I wonder if the general has any unique insights into marching and fighting?" Xun You, who had been silent for a long time, finally opened his mouth. Now that he has talked about martial arts, he would like to see it." Zhao Yu” has any involvement in marching and fighting.

Li Yuan felt that it was not an option to go on like this. The more he talked, the more he would be valued by Cao Cao. This was not what he hoped, so he said: "I am just a rough man with a little high martial arts, and I can only charge forward in battle. Zhibing doesn’t have much opinion, so please don’t embarrass me, Mr. Gongda, hahahahaha..."

Xun You was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect Li Yuan to answer like this, but he always felt that Li Yuan didn't understand at all, he should be deliberately hiding his talent, although he didn't know why Li Yuan did this, but he didn't continue to ask .

"Hahahahaha, okay, Gongda, I won't ask any more questions, otherwise Zhao Yu will think that we are interrogating prisoners and come to drink." Cao Cao also laughed, and then drank the wine in the glass. They all toasted and drank.

The rest is talking about Fengyue, and the banquet ends with the guests and hosts enjoying themselves.Although Li Yuan drank a lot of wine, he was still not drunk. He didn't dare to get drunk in the enemy's base camp. When he returned to Zhou Yu's mansion, it was Haishi, and many people were asleep, but Zhou Yu hadn't fallen asleep yet. , When he walked in, he found Zhou Yu waiting for him in the lobby.

"Are you still asleep?" Li Yuan asked.

"Waiting for you, they didn't discover your identity, did they?"

Li Yuan shook his head and said: "No, although there were several times where he almost exposed his flaws, he escaped without any danger. Now it seems that Cao Cao is paying more and more attention to me, and he even gave me a brand new mansion as a gift. I don't want to live with you."

"I didn't expect you to break into his circle so easily, but you have to be careful when you go to the new mansion, maybe the maids and servants he arranges are the ones he will monitor you." Zhou Yu warned.

"Don't worry, I'm not so stupid yet. I will change the servants and maids by then." Li Yuan thought of this a long time ago.

"Now your status is not what it used to be. Many people regard you as a celebrity around Cao Cao, so from tomorrow onwards, there should be many people coming to curry favor with you, but there is one person you should pay special attention to."

"Who is it?" Li Yuan is most afraid of socializing, but these things cannot be avoided after all, and he will have to face these troubles in the next 20 days.

"That is Liu Ye. Liu Ye is Cao Cao's most important adviser besides Guo Jia, Xun Yu and Xun You. This man is highly resourceful and cannot be underestimated. Although his position is not high, Cao Cao also values ​​him more." Zhou Yu Tell Li Yuan about Liu Ye.

Li Yuan knew how powerful Liu Ye was. In "history", Liu Ye was the veteran of the three dynasties of Cao and Wei. He was well-known when he was young. To put it bluntly, when Cao Cao attacked Yuan Shao, in order to deal with Yuan Shao's well fence, Liu Ye invented the Thunderbolt Chariot and made extraordinary achievements. He is a capable man under Cao Cao's command that cannot be underestimated.

But Li Yuan still didn't understand, and asked, "Why should you pay special attention to Liu Ye?"

"Liu Ye has repeatedly made outstanding achievements and is highly resourceful, but his official position has not been promoted, perhaps because Cao Cao can rely on too many advisers. With the three advisers Guo Jia, Xun You and Xun Yu, Liu Ye has always been It is the fourth choice, so he has always been unhappy, and he is quite dissatisfied with Guo Jia, Xun You and Xun Yu. Now that you have become a popular person around Cao Cao, I think he will try every means to win you into his camp. "

Zhou Yu didn't just focus on marching and fighting in the past six months. He also conducted a detailed investigation of Cao Cao's people and found that Cao Cao's subordinates were not discus, but this is also normal, as long as there are people, there will be fights.

Li Yuan thought about it carefully, and found that there was no Liu Ye at the banquet tonight, which showed that Liu Ye was not Cao Cao's real confidant adviser. Perhaps as Zhou Yu said, Cao Cao could use too many advisers, so even if Liu Ye No matter how powerful they are, it is difficult to break into Cao Cao's circle, not to mention Guo Jia, Xun Yu and Xun You are all good friends, and they have played for Cao Cao earlier, so it is difficult for Liu Ye to fight against them.

"So that's the case. Besides Liu Ye, is there such a person?" Li Yuan asked curiously.

"Of course, and this situation is normal. You should know that many of Cao Cao's generals are his clansmen, such as Cao Ren, Cao Hong, Xiahou Dun and Xiahou Yuan. These people are Cao Cao's confidant generals. Cao Cao trusts them the most. As for others People, such as Zhang Liao, Zhang Yun, Le Jin, and Xu Huang, these are generals with foreign surnames. Although Cao Cao reused them, he didn't fully trust them. I think they should have discovered something, but they didn't point it out. You know Why did Cao Cao designate them as five good generals instead of Cao Ren, Cao Hong, Xiahou Dun, Xiahouyuan and Cao Xiu?"

"I don't know." Li Yuan shook his head. He really didn't know. It stands to reason that if Cao Cao trusted his generals of the Cao family the most, then Cao Ren and others should be named. Why would he be named a general with a foreign surname.

"That's because Cao Cao wants to win over their hearts and make them think that he is valued. To generals, these titles are actually secondary. The most important thing is military power. But the real power in the army is not the generals with foreign surnames, but They are military generals of the Cao family. Generals with foreign surnames can command not many soldiers and horses, and they must ask Cao Cao for instructions, otherwise they will not be able to move a single soldier, so Cao Cao deliberately created the title of "Five Sons of Good Generals" to reward them. In fact, it is useless, Cao Cao himself is the one who really controls the military power, and Cao Cao has the final say on who leads how many soldiers and horses, so the names are all false." Zhou Yu is well versed in this way, and can see through Cao Cao's intentions at a glance.

Li Yuan was dumbfounded when he heard that, if Zhou Yu didn't say it, he would really think that the five good generals are very powerful, and at the same time, he would admire the talented Cao Cao. Slip, it’s useless for those generals with foreign surnames to get a name, and you have to be grateful to Cao Cao. This move is so powerful that Li Yuan can’t resist it, but he thinks Zhou Yu is even more powerful, because Zhou Yu can see through such a powerful strategy. , making him covet Zhou Yu even more.
