Three Kingdoms New Emperor

Chapter 612

"Marquis Wen, your speculation is just taken for granted, but His Majesty's judgment is well-founded. Even if the conclusions are the same, the two cannot be compared." Jia Xu stood up leisurely. At this time, it is up to him to reveal the answer: " This is just like knowing it but not knowing why, if Marquis Wen cannot understand the difference between the two, it is impossible to know why His Majesty let Cao Mengde monopolize the Lujiang River."

"I implore General Xuanyi to enlighten me." After experiencing a battle between heaven and man just now, Lu Bu had lost all arrogance.This thinking also gave him a baptism, and his thirst for knowledge was gradually developed.

"Your Majesty has just revealed that Yuan Shao has the strength and intention to conspire against Xuzhou, but these are only superficial phenomena. Marquis Wen retreated and pushed himself to save others, so it can be seen that Yuan Shao must comfort Youzhou and recuperate. After all, Youzhou has lasted for half a year. In the battle of Zhouzhou, no matter how much Yuan Shao pretends to be, it is impossible for him not to suffer any damage."

"But Yuan Tan Mingming has already invaded Mount Tai in Xuzhou. If Yuan Shao has no intention of Xuzhou, why would Yuan Tan act in such a aggressive manner?" Gao Shun also spoke at this time. Like most Han generals, he was actually not It is too clear why a secret letter from Youzhou can cause Yangzhou Lujiang to change hands.

"Here we are going to talk about Yuan Tan's character. It is said that this person is violent by nature, bloodthirsty and warlike. Once this kind of person has the opportunity, it is normal to be greedy for merit. However, no matter how reckless a person is, it is impossible Based on this, His Majesty judged that Yuan Shao had retained his strength on the Yijing battlefield, so that Yuan Tan still had the strength to attack aggressively. However, after Yuan Tan acted so recklessly, Yuan Shao still Let it go, the intention of this will be very interesting."

"A combination of these situations can actually allow us to draw a conclusion. Yuan Shao wants to appease Yizhou and restore its strength, and also wants to take advantage of Yuan Tan's big victory to make a fortune in Xuzhou. It can be said that at this moment, his mind is in the middle of It is in an extremely delicate state, like a fox that sneaks into a fence and eats a fat chicken, knowing that if he eats one more chicken, he may not be able to get out of the fence, but he is reluctant to give up the delicious food."

"Then what does this have to do with Cao Mengde?" Ma Chao couldn't help but open his mouth. Jia Xu's analysis was so detailed and detailed that people couldn't help but immerse themselves in it.

"Cao Mengde is an outstanding man of the moment. He saw Yuan Shao's intentions, so he used this to blackmail His Majesty. If the old man's guess is correct, Cao Mengde will definitely ask Yuan Shao to write a memorandum and give him the official position of Cao Cao, so that he can Righteously, I extended my hand to Henan and Yangzhou."

"Yuan Benchu ​​is also a hero of a generation. Could it be that he will obey Cao Cao and let Cao Cao enjoy his success?" This time, it was Xu Rong who asked the question.

"Of course Yuan Benchu ​​will not be at the mercy of Cao Cao, but in this matter, the Yuan and Cao families have common interests." Jia Xu talked eloquently, with a bit of demeanor: "Everyone knows that Cao Mengde was supported by Yuan Shao. Come to think of it, Yuan Shao also thinks that Cao Cao's power can be used by him. Therefore, it is very cost-effective for Yuan Shao to let Cao Cao get some benefits in Yuyang and Yangzhou."

"As long as Cao Mengde performs brilliantly in Yuyang and Yangzhou, Yuan Shao can get some compensation from Cao Cao afterwards. This is a very safe and safe return for Yuan Tan to attack Xuzhou."

"In this way, Yuan Benchu ​​and Cao Mengde worked hand in hand to coerce the Han family with the music in secret?!" Lu Bu's resolute face gradually turned livid, and he slapped his hand on the table angrily and said, "Such a rebellious minister, why don't your majesty Retaliate forcefully, and let Cao Mengde take Lujiang by force?"

"Because of the overall situation in the world, one move will affect the whole body." Liu Xie couldn't sit still at this time, got up and spread out Jia Xu's unfinished words, and said: "You have also seen that Yuan Shao is now sitting on the borders of Ji, You, Qing Sanzhou and Bingzhou are just around the corner, and the princes of the world, including the Han Dynasty, can't compete with him. He just hesitated a bit without making a decision, but it was enough to make Cao Mengde dare to bargain with me, and let him arrive in Gushi yesterday. Liu Biao's army has not yet arrived, which shows that deterrence is sometimes a kind of strength."

"The Han Dynasty had a rigorous and meticulous plan for the usurpation against Yuan Shu. Yuan Shao preserved his strength, which was completely accidental. It is impossible for me to target the entire Yuan Shu in order to deal with such an emergency. The strategy is completely overthrown." Liu Xie hung down his sleeves, looking a little lonely: "What I can do is to make some fine-tuning in the whole plan, and it is within the acceptable range for Cao Cao to take Lujiang by force."

"In this way, Cao Cao got the Lujiang River here in Huaiyang. On the Taishan Mountain in Xuzhou, Yuan Shao will let Yuan Tan give up the invasion of Taishan Mountain." Lu Su also stood up at this time, and explained again to the generals: " Although it seems that Cao Mengde is blackmailing His Majesty, in reality, His Majesty just made a deal with Yuan Shao."

"Then the result is that Cao Cao got the advantage, and Yuan Shao can also get the advantage from Cao Cao in the future. Instead, he will suffer in the end. It is the majestic Han court?" Lu Bu couldn't accept such a result. In his thinking of a warrior, since the Han Dynasty To be orthodox in the world, one should use an absolutely tough posture to order and control these demons and monsters that are about to move.Instead of making deals with guys who should be courtiers in such a sneaky way.

"So, this is politics." Liu Xie turned around leisurely, as if he didn't want everyone to see his weakness: "Political games always pay attention to the balance of interests. All means must be used under the card; all intentions, each other You only need to be aware of the time. If you don’t even have this bit of political wisdom, you won’t be able to gain a firm foothold in the chaotic world.”

"Then, if that's the case, what use does His Majesty want me to wait?" Lv Bu retreated ashamedly, this kind of invasion of political wisdom was incompatible with his military thinking, which made him a little disheartened for a while.

"The golden horse and the iron horse, that's what happens after the political game fails. They fight and kill like shrews. Not only will they not gain benefits smoothly, but they will only hurt both sides and become the laughing stock of others." Liu said. Xie's tone at this time was a little sad, but after he turned around, his eyes were ignited with great ambition, and the corner of his mouth slightly turned up:

"However, at the end of the political game, there is a fist fight after all. You and the tens of thousands of soldiers of the Han Dynasty are my fists and courage. I don't like punching, but since Yuan Shao tickles us like this, then I won't fight back One moment, it would be too disrespectful to the Han Dynasty!"

"Your Majesty, absolutely not!" Xi Zhicai never thought that he would stand up at this time.But when he stood up, he could only quickly express his reasoning: "Your Majesty, as you expected, all of this is just a political game. If your majesty behaves willfully and does not keep his word, then even if Yuan Benchu ​​will not send troops Xuzhou, as long as we make a fuss in the north, Liu Biao's army may not come to join us for a long time."

After saying this, Xi Zhi looked up and saw Liu Xie was looking at him with great interest, and all the civil and military affairs of the Han Dynasty in the tent also brought him a lot of pressure.But now he is on the verge of an arrow, and has no choice but to explain all the explanations clearly: "There is also Liu Bei in Xuzhou, who may also be scruples about Yuan Shao's attitude, so he garrisons stick to Xuzhou; in addition, Sun Ce in Jiangdong, he will not ignore these. It is very possible to withdraw from this battle between dragons and tigers... In this way, your Majesty's painstaking efforts to set up an ambush for Yuan Shu may come to naught!"

"It's true, it's true." Liu Xie nodded while holding his chin.But no matter who looks at his expression, he can see that he doesn't care: "However, Mr. Xi, don't forget that all this is based on Yuan Shao's good teeth. Yuan Tan is only a few thousand soldiers and horses. It may be easy to beat Kong Rong, who is boastful and has no military knowledge, but against Taishan County, which has Zang Ba in Wu and Chen Gong in Wen, I don't believe that those two people will let Yuan Tan rub them into pieces!"

"Excellent! As the Son of Heaven, you should have such boldness!" Lu Bu couldn't help clapping his hands when he heard this, and it looked like he even wanted to rush to Mount Tai immediately to teach Yuan Tan a lesson.But once the excitement was over, he came back to it again: "No, Your Majesty, you just promised to let Cao Cao take Lujiang by force. Could it be that you, as the emperor, really want to go back on your word?"

"Jing said the truth!" Liu Xie was furious again, and jumped up like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, with the aura of a shrew: "The emperor's words don't count, can it be a promise that is not what he says? It is an expedient measure to paralyze the enemy, do you understand!... Really, a child cannot be taught!"
