Liu Qi, the hegemon of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 191 Chang'an's plan

After negotiating to find some trouble for Jingzhou.

Cao Cao and the others stopped talking about Jingzhou. After all, it is impossible for them to do anything to Jingzhou now, at least not at this moment.

Moreover, if you want to cause some trouble for Jingzhou, you still need to wait for some time.

"Send someone to Shouchun to send a message and tell Miaocai that as long as you get the Jade Seal of the Chuan Kingdom, everything else can be compromised. Once you get the Jade Seal of the Chuan Kingdom, you will lead the army back!" Cao Cao said.

"promise!"

Xi Zhicai, Xun Yu, and Xun You also surrendered their hands. They also knew that there was nothing they could do now, even if they took down the city in Yuan Shu's territory, it would have no effect.

Leaving people to defend, once attacked, there is no support at all; not leaving people to defend, it is equivalent to nothing; in this way, the result of such a victory is the same whether it is necessary or not, it is better to give up these and get one. Something that is good for them - Chuan Guo Yuxi.

Cao Cao pondered for a moment, stroked the beard on his chin, and said, "Who do you think Liu Qi will attack next?"

heard.

Xi Zhicai, Xun Yu, and Xun You also fell into deep thought.

After a while, Xi Zhicai stood up, cupped his hands and said, "My lord, there is Lu Bu in Runan, Sun Ce in Jiangdong, and Liu Qi's Jingzhou navy has just been rebuilt, so it is impossible for him to have any thoughts about Jiangdong, and Lu Bu has an unknown relationship with Liu Qi. There will be no action against Runan; this way, the subordinates think that Liu Qi is most likely to attack is the land of Yizhou, this is also the reason to persuade Zhang Lu!"

Of the several states adjacent to Jingzhou, only Yizhou is the most suitable target, so whether Zhang Lu sends troops to Jingzhou, Liu Qi can't stop Liu Qi from sending troops to Yizhou, and if Liu Qi can take Yizhou, that is Advancing can be attacked, retreating can be defended, plus Jingzhou and Jiaozhou, it is enough to conquer the four directions.

"What the military master Xi said is true, and his subordinates also think that Liu Qi will send troops to Yizhou. Liu Zhang in Yizhou is now old, and he is also a relative of the Han family. Once Liu Qi has the intention to send troops, Liu Zhang may directly let him go. Leave the land of Yizhou and hand over the land of Yizhou!" Xun You also stood up and analyzed.

Cao Cao's eyes froze. What Xun You said was not impossible. After all, Liu Qi and Liu Zhang were both relatives of the Han Dynasty. If this was the case, Liu Qi would be able to win the Yizhou land without bloodshed. For him, it is not good news.

"My lord, don't worry too much!" Xi Zhicai saw Cao Cao's expression and knew what Cao Cao was worried about.

"How do you say that?" Cao Cao asked.

Xi Zhicai smiled and said: "As long as the lord asks His Majesty to write down the will, the lord will send someone to Yizhou to persuade Zhang Lu. In this way, Liu Zhang will not give up the land of Yizhou, although it may not be able to prevent Liu Qi from taking it. The land of Yizhou, but it can also increase a lot of obstacles when Liu Qi sends troops to Yizhou!"

"That's great!" Cao Cao said with his eyes brightened, "It seems that our pace has to be quickened. After Yuan Shu's matter is over, all parties will no longer be content with themselves!"

Xi Zhicai, Xun Yu, and Xun You also nodded in agreement with Cao Cao's statement. Although the emperor is in Chang'an, there will be no princes who obey the court's will. It is no longer feasible to coerce the emperor to order the princes.

"How do you think it should be carried out?" Cao Cao asked.

Today's Jingzhou is developing too fast, which makes him feel oppressed. Even Yuan Shao in Jizhou, Sun Ce in Jiangdong, etc., he doesn't care about it. Only Liu Qi in Jingzhou is his biggest opponent on the way to achieve his goal. ,none of them.

"My lord, my subordinates think that Liangzhou and Bingzhou can be explored first. As long as they capture the land of these two states, they will have the power to conquer the north, and then plot Jizhou, Youzhou, Yanzhou, Qingzhou and other places!" Xun Yu stood up , arched.

Xi Zhicai also stood up, cupped his hands and said, "My subordinates also agree with Master Xun's words that the people in Liangzhou and Bingzhou are tough, as long as they take the land of the two states, they can build an elite army, and then Send troops to Jizhou, Youzhou, Yanzhou, Qingzhou and other places to clear the land in the north, and then send troops to the south to unify the land of the Central Plains!"

"My subordinates agree!" Xun You also said.

Cao Cao also became condensed, his eyes kept flickering, obviously he was also persuaded, once the northern land can be wiped out, and the northern land can be unified, then no one in the world can stop his footsteps, unless someone can Unify the South and contend with him.

Then he said: "How to implement it?"

"Returning to my lord, Liangzhou is now controlled by Ma Teng and Ma Shoucheng, and Bingzhou is controlled by Han Sui and Han Wenyue. The two are old friends. Once they wave their troops, it may cause a union between the two, but we can use some tricks first to let the two Turn against each other and fight against each other, and when the time is right, then send troops northward to regain the land of the two states!" Xi Zhicai analyzed.

"Oh?" Cao Cao was a little confused.

Xi Zhicai smiled and said, "Han Sui is a greedy villain. As long as the lord promises some gold and silver, and then let His Majesty appoint him as the shepherd of Liangzhou, it will be enough to turn Han Sui against Ma Teng!"

"This plan works!" Xun Yu said.

Cao Cao stroked his beard, nodded and said: "In this way, we will act according to Zhicai's words. When I go to court tomorrow, I will give an announcement to His Majesty to convey the imperial edict."

"My lord, Shengming!" Xi Zhicai said respectfully, "In this way, we can wait for General Xiahou to lead the army back from Shouchun to stabilize the situation in Chang'an, and wait for Han Sui and Ma Teng to turn against each other, attack each other, and consume When it reaches a certain level, the lord will be able to lead an army to conquer the land of the two states, and recover the land of the two states with lightning speed!"

Xun Yu and Xun You also nodded in approval of Xi Zhicai's strategy with a flash of light. As long as Han Sui and Ma Teng turned against each other and fought against each other, they would be able to win the battle between the two states without much effort. land, thereby strengthening their strength and laying the foundation for unifying the north.

"In this way, let Miaocai give up the rest of the benefits, as long as the Jade Seal of the Chuan Kingdom is obtained, once the Jade Seal of the Chuan Kingdom is obtained, the army will rush back to Chang'an!" Cao Cao ordered.

He is also an ambitious person. He changed the previous order. He originally wanted Xia Houyuan to gain some benefits after Shouchun obtained the Jade Seal of Chuanguo, but now for the sake of the great cause, those small profits can be completely given up. Nothing can compare to the benefits of swallowing the land of two states.

Winning the land of the two states can become the basis for him to conquer and unify the land in the north, so as long as he gets the Jade Seal of Chuanguo, there is nothing else.

"promise!"

Xi Zhicai, Xun Yu, and Xun You agreed with each other.

"So, let's go down and make arrangements, and get rid of all the uneasy factors in Chang'an before I lead my troops to conquer!" Cao Cao said.

"promise!"

Immediately, Xi Zhicai, Xun Yu, and Xun You also bowed their hands and walked out.

Cao Cao's eyes were also shining brightly, and he looked out the door.

Their future plans were also finalized in this discussion, and the premise was to capture Liangzhou and Bingzhou, and then plan the next part.
