Three Kingdoms New Emperor

Chapter 609 Reversal of Host and Guest
Liu Xie can swear to God with his conscience, he really doesn't understand psychology.But not understanding does not mean that you will not use it. In fact, many people unintentionally use a lot of psychological hints on many things.

For example, if you walked into a shopping mall in your previous life, the shopping guide would tell you how good the product is, how cost-effective it is, and how much you need it... These are actually the simplest psychological hints.

After time travel, Liu Xie, who has experienced many intrigues in the imperial palace and troubled times, it is too easy to use what he has learned.

And when Liu Xie saw Cao Cao saw him for the first time, and Cao Cao's lonely and sad eyes suddenly became shocked, he knew that all the psychological hints he had arranged before had taken effect.

Liu Xie has long known that he is actually a human being, a vulgar mortal.However, no matter how humble a beggar is, it would be shocking to suddenly put on the dragon robe. As long as Liu Xie makes full use of his status as the emperor of the Han Dynasty, it is not difficult to shock Cao Cao, a hero.

Outside the gate, he used etiquette to hit Cao Cao's arrogance, and then used the turbulence of the soldiers on the journey to further frighten Cao Cao's courage, and then let Shi A recall Cao Cao's failure in Xuzhou.After a series of measures, as long as it is an individual, it will carry out emotional processing on the received information.Because of this, Cao Cao began to be in a trance before entering the account.

Even though Cao Cao was a hero of the moment and a master of the world.But in essence, he is just a living, flesh-and-blood person with emotions.

In the end, Liu Xie also knew that Cao Cao didn't just lose his mind when he saw himself.He was overwhelmed by the aura of dozens of murderous generals in the Han Dynasty, and the stimulation brought to him by the Seven Star Sword...these comprehensive stimulations completely exploded, which caused Cao Cao to look at him so shocked.Because at this time, Liu Xie was no longer a person in Cao Cao's eyes, but Cao Cao formed a specific reaction to all stimuli.

As for why Liu Xie had to spend so much time and effort, the painstaking arrangements only resulted in Cao Cao's momentary distraction.In fact, it was just so that he could say a word before Cao Cao.

And that sentence is related to the strategy of the Han and Cao armies for the land of Lujiang.

In the current situation, anyone who is not blind can see that the allied forces of the Han Dynasty will press towards Yuan Shu like a scourge.This kind of formation is clearly a battle to destroy the country, and it will not stop until the goal is achieved.

Yuan Shu's influence is mainly concentrated in Huaiyang, but he has also spread his wings in Yuzhou and Xuzhou.Although such a situation dispersed Yuan Shu's power, it also protected his inner circle well.However, as the war progressed, Liu Xie and Cao Cao jointly defeated Sun Ben and basically recovered Yuzhou; Liu Bei in Xuzhou also performed very well.In this way, the allied forces of the Han Dynasty were equivalent to beheading Yuan Shu's two wings bloodily.

Even if Yuan Shu was the Suzaku, the mysterious bird of the Nine Heavens, after his wings were cut off, he could only fall into the mud and become a native chicken.What's more, Yuan Shu was originally a native chicken, and he didn't have the ability to fly, but he still wanted to flop around.

Now both of Yuan Shu's wings have been made into spicy chicken wings by Liu Xie, and the rest is to consider how to braise the whole chicken body.In fact, Lujiang is not an important place for military strategists, but under the current situation, this piece of land with fertile plains and river networks is not only a piece of fat in the mouth of the Han Dynasty and Cao Cao, but also a direct battle between the two armies. Smash Huanglong's bridgehead.

Since it is an endless battle to destroy the country, it is also a battle for obvious credit.Then who knows, whoever wins the Lujiang River will have a huge advantage in the next decisive battle.Only by occupying the Lujiang River can Cao Cao gain something this time, and he can also gain more credit in the next decisive battle, which can be used as a bargaining chip with the Han Dynasty-this made Cao Cao, who was born with a lack of talent from the very beginning, It is inevitable to win the Lujiang River.

However, Liu Xie is also the kind of emperor who always has a thick skin and eats enough.He can regard Cao Cao as an ally in military affairs, but in terms of political interests, he will only regard Cao Cao as an enemy who robs him of food.So, let’s not say that it took a lot of time to come up with a set of psychological hints today, even if Liu Xie took the initiative to dance for Cao Cao, Liu Xie would say that he was better at pole dancing with a blushing face and out of breath.

Fortunately, it seems that all Liu Xie's plans have succeeded.

Cao Cao came in a hurry with high spirits and determination to win, but the moment he saw himself, he was beaten to pieces.Such a sense of accomplishment made Liu Xie very happy, and he couldn't help saying to Cao Cao, "Cao Yanzhou is a hero and good at planning, how do you judge the current situation?"

Cao Cao's face was sullen, quite absent-minded.In fact, being surrounded by these powerful generals of the Han Dynasty, and seeing Xi Zhicai sitting at the second place from the right of Liu Xie, he was almost on pins and needles and disheartened: "Your Majesty, Yuan reversed the perversity, and the heavens are angry. Even if Yuan Ni wants to gather troops to fight with us, he still needs to withdraw the two armies of Lejiu and Li Lan to Jiujiang. At this time, we are afraid that Lujiang has already been captured, and then we only need a thunderbolt. A successful battle."

Liu Xie laughed out loud when he heard the words. Cao Cao's analysis coincided with the expectations of all the civil and military officials in the Han Dynasty.The current Yuan Shu is simply a fool in a hurry. The battle is imminent, but he can't even find his own fist. Liu Xie really can't think of anyone in the world who is more stupid than him.

One of the reasons that made Liu Xie laugh even more was that he heard Cao Cao say that the main body to capture Lujiang was "we wait" instead of "Han Dynasty", although it sounds the same on the surface.But as long as you analyze it in depth, you can hear that Cao Cao has not given up on his desire to attack Lujiang.

Therefore, at this time, Liu Xie didn't mind talking directly and said: "Cao Yanzhou has worked hard all the way, and the battles in Yuzhou have shown Cao Yanzhou's heart for the Han Dynasty. The rest of the confrontation with Yuan Ni, Cao Yanzhou only It is necessary to abide by the etiquette of the ministers and soldiers, and it is good to wave the flag and shout."

As the emperor of the Han Dynasty, Liu Xie is of course qualified to say this.Cao Cao is now no more than the Yanzhou Shepherd conferred by Liu Xie. According to the system of the Han Dynasty, he has no right to attack Yuzhou and Huaiyang.The rulers of the Han Dynasty were not fools. It was not without reason that the shepherds of the county were stipulated. Cao Cao's official position determined that Cao Cao could only govern Yanzhou. A rebel.

However, the current Han Dynasty is not the Han Dynasty in its heyday after all, and the current Han Dynasty Central Committee and local princes are in a sensitive and delicate period of power struggle.The chaotic world and the collapse of rites and music gave the princes the confidence to bargain over these regimes.

For example, Cao Cao has already occupied many important towns except Pingyu and Chen in this battle of Yuzhou.Such a reality presents a big problem for Liu Xie: either, after defeating Yuan Shu, Liu Xie will exchange benefits of equal value to allow Cao Jun to withdraw from Yuzhou; Cao Cao's governance of these places is justified.

Generally speaking, in order to ensure the prestige of the Han Dynasty, the imperial court usually chooses the second option: it is to acquiesce in Cao Cao's ownership of the conquered areas, and then go through a formal formality.

After all, everyone knows that letting a tiger spit out the meat it eats in its mouth is really taking food from its mouth—this is a fatal shortcoming for Liu Xie, who is trying to create an illusion of Han Dynasty unification .Right now, it's really not suitable for him to rape Cao too hard.

Therefore, squeezing Cao Cao's interest space as much as possible is what Liu Xie must do at present.Because of this, Liu Xie didn't mind showing his bottom line: Cao Mengde, I had no choice but to let you get involved in Yuzhou, but in the Huaiyang area, you don't want to stretch your hand over again!

But just when Liu Xie thought that he had the chance to win, he suddenly found that Cao Cao's face was not the kind of disheartened and frustrated expression, but after a slight wry smile, he put on a touch of sophistication that made Liu Xie feel weird and weird when he looked at it. Unpredictable.

Could it be that this guy Cao Cao still has a backup?

Liu Xie's brain turned rapidly, and countless loopholes and possibilities rushed to his mind, but they were ruled out one by one at random.He really couldn't figure out, after he had worked so hard to suppress all of Cao Cao's arrogance and excuses, what else could Cao Cao rely on to blackmail him.

unless……

Liu Xie's mind was shocked suddenly, and he thought of an unlikely possibility.

At this time, Shi A outside the account suddenly broke in, and without even caring about saluting, he hurriedly handed a secret letter to Liu Xie, and whispered something in Liu Xie's ear.

Afterwards, everyone in the tent saw that the emperor of the Han Dynasty, who was so happy just now, turned pale in an instant.He walked back to the throne as if in a daze, gulped down a bottle of wine, and said with a sad smile to Cao Cao: "Cao Yanzhou, unexpectedly, I still underestimated you... Cao Yanzhou will do it for you in this Lujiang battle." .”

Cao Cao, on the other hand, smiled slightly and accepted Liu Xie's unusual compliment very frankly.
