Chapter 846 Liu Bei's Achilles' heel

"It's really dangerous!" Cao Cao suddenly burst out laughing, "Although it's a bit disrespectful to Brother Benchu ​​to say so, it's thanks to Brother Benchu ​​who saved me from the disaster. Originally, Wang Xuan's target was me!"

Thinking of being attacked by Xuzhou, Taishan, Henan, and Nanyang at the same time, Cao Cao felt lingering fear.

The most important thing is the speed of the battle. It is too fast, especially Gan Ning occupied the two counties along the waterway in an instant. After defeating Yuan Shao's main force, those cities would turn against him on the spot at any time.

"My lord, I'm too worried." Xun Yu raised his head slowly, looked at Cao Cao and shook his head.

"Oh, how can Wen Ruo teach me?" Cao Cao turned his head and looked over.

"Since the birth of Guan Wangxuan, all his energies have been devoted to the internal development of Qingzhou. With the strength he has demonstrated in the last month, if he has the intention to expand his power, he can already attack the neighbors. Looking at it now, if it weren't for this time. Tao Qian suddenly let Xuzhou out, I'm afraid Wang Xuan will stay in Qingzhou."

"I agree with my father-in-law." Chen Qun also nodded in agreement and said, "Don't look at Liu Bei's military strength, his power itself also has serious fatal flaws. Unable to shrink back as always.”

"From what I see internally, there has never been any family support. Qingzhou itself has withered aristocratic families. If it weren't for the recruitment order last time, I am afraid that the officials needed in Qingzhou alone would not be able to come up with more than 300 million people. There are 72 counties in five counties. , At least 2000 scholars are needed to manage it, but back then Qingzhou had nothing but yellow turban thieves."

"Because of the talent recruitment order, Liu Bei got enough talents to govern Qingzhou, but relatively, it also attracted the hostility of the world's aristocratic families, so the current situation has formed. Don't look at him now occupying the land of the three states. I doubt him very much. Can you take out so many scholars to manage it!"

"Precisely because of the exposure of Gongsun Zan, Lu Bu and others, those aristocratic families in Hanoi, Henan and Nanyang will also make some moves. Three states, 25 counties, 460 seven counties, a population of tens of millions, and tens of thousands of officials are needed. Conservative estimates, without counting the officials needed by the prefectures and counties, without the support of the aristocratic family, I want to see how Wang Xuan governs the place where the army has taken down!"

"Is it relying on those craftsmen? Or relying on those generals in the army?" Chen Qun put on a mocking smile on his lips. The set of things made by Liu Bei and Wang Xuan, the future founder of the Nine-Rank Zhongzheng System, is the one who fights. Disdain and hostility in the eyes of the heart.

Looking at the eloquent Chen Qun, Cao Cao's eyes flickered twice. He did reuse the family, but it doesn't mean he didn't know the harm of the family. Otherwise, he didn't pay attention to killing people and made some temptations , but he really has nothing to do with the aristocratic family. Looking at the civil servants and generals under him, how many of them are from non-aristocratic families?

After all the calculations, only one Cheng Yu came from a poor family, and the others didn't even have the chance to step into the top ranks.

But now, for Cao Cao, the aristocratic family has formed a trend that cannot be lost. Sitting in this position, every move can't be done according to one's own wishes. More often, one has to consider the feelings of the aristocratic family, otherwise...

Even if there are only two states, he now understands the feelings of Emperor Ling. The reason why he initiated the party ban was not because the people of these aristocratic families went too far. People in the world only know that there are aristocratic families but do not know that there is an emperor.

When Liu Bei issued the recruitment order, he also had the same thoughts, but he had enough manpower at that time and Xun Yu blocked him, so he didn't make the trip. Hearing Chen Qun talk so eloquently now, he really regrets it.

As for Wang Xuan, the biggest problem now is indeed not beyond Chen Qun's expectations, the lack of officials!

The number needed is not the 4 people Chen Qun said. The complex government agencies need more manpower, a total of more than [-] people, but what Wang Xuan can transfer from Qingzhou is only a drop in the bucket.

"I understand what Changwen said, that is to say, for a long time, we don't have to worry about Liu Bei's problems at all, right?" Cao Cao said with a smile in his first year.

"My lord is wise, indeed, for a long time, Liu Bei has no possibility of sending troops, and if one fails, I am afraid that there will be civil strife, but our army can take the opportunity to strengthen itself, as long as Liu Bei has a slight flaw. It's time for a thunderbolt." As he spoke, a cold light flashed in Chen Qun's eyes.

Everyone nodded after hearing this. Indeed, with the assistance of the aristocratic family, it is true that the rule can be stabilized as quickly as possible, and the strength and foundation of one's own side can be rapidly increased.

This point can be seen from the newly occupied half of Xuzhou. Pengcheng Kingdom, Xiapi County, and Guangling County have been completely brought under Cao Cao's control. When Cao Cao became an official, Chen Gui served as the prefect of Guangling, and Chen Deng followed Cao Cao at this moment.

Speaking of which, the Chen family of Xiapi and the Chen family of Yingchuan also have a long history. There was also a Sangong in the previous generation, which can be regarded as a first-line famous family in the whole Han Dynasty.

……

Compared to Cao Cao's attention to Liu Bei, Yuan Shu's side was just surprised by the speed of the blitzkrieg. Although they were brothers, Yuan Shu hated Yuan Shao from the bottom of his heart.

Seeing this bastard end up in such an end, I was secretly happy and not in a hurry.

At least from Yuan Shu's point of view, once Yuan Shao died, all the power of the Yuan family could be concentrated on him, and great achievements could be expected in the future, especially with the Jade Seal of Chuanguo beside him.

Touching Yuxi every day, the dream of becoming emperor in his heart became more and more intense.

On Liu Biao's side, he was surprised at Liu Bei's sudden force, and more of it was jealousy. He was also a Han family clan, and he belonged to Genzheng Miaohong. It's just a sneer.

There are too many after King Jing of Zhongshan, so many that they can form an army of ten thousand people, and the royal status is worthless...

"Now anyone with the surname Liu can call himself a clan member of the Han family. Anyway, he only needs to lean on King Jing of Zhongshan, and there is no way to verify it anyway." Cai Mao glanced at Liu Biao's expression, and opened his mouth directly to sarcasm stand up.

"I don't think that Zhang Ji turned to Liu Bei early on. In this way, Zhang Ji's surprise attack on our army and the occupation of Nanyang County should have been ordered by Liu Bei." Liu Biao said in a low voice, and he was going to make a fuss about it. .

He made up his mind that since Liu Bei wanted to use his status as a clan member of the Han Dynasty to talk about things, then he had to ask for a piece of meat from Liu Bei, otherwise, he would never get the approval of the person with the highest status in the Han Dynasty!
