Chapter 243 Entering the Central Plains and helping Cao Cao secretly support Yuan Shao
The current situation is complicated, and Sun Can can't help thinking quietly.

Originally, everything was going well for him. Cao Cao's rivalry with Yuan Shao meant that Yuan Shao had no chance to catch his breath. After the battle with Gongsun Zan, he had to join the fight against Cao Cao. This was not enough for him. It is undoubtedly a major blow to Yuan Shaojun who has little food, salary and soldiers.

However, what Jia Xu said reminded him of one thing.That is Cao Cao's ability.Cao Cao is a 100% genius in his father's mouth. He is outstanding in military affairs, strategy, scheming, courage, ruthlessness, and courage. He once used eight words to describe him as "extraordinary man, extraordinary man" ".

More troops do not necessarily mean victory.Back then, Xiang Yu broke Liu Bang's 50 army with [-], which is the best illustration.

Sun Can rubbed his forehead, and threw this question to Jia Xu, saying that he was scheming, he was indeed not the opponent of Cao Cao who was scheming, and not many people in the army were scheming, but Jia Xu, a fox, was definitely not worse than Cao Cao. Cao Cao asked, "Wen He, tell me what you think. What do you think of Cao Cao?"

Jia Xu came out of the shift and said: "Cao Cao is brave in punishing and killing. If the master is Cao Cao at this moment, then Cao Cao's actions are just as the master expected. Those three benefits are exactly Cao Cao's purpose. However, Cao Cao will not care These, in Xu's memory, Cao Cao only used methods of kindness and power to the soldiers under his command, but he acted vigorously and resolutely to outsiders, and never showed mercy.

Xuzhou's Tu can see his means to avenge his father?That's just a saying. Cao Cao's position is very different from his father's politics, and he never had any friendship with his half-brother, so there is not much contact between father and son, brothers and relatives.

What's more, the murderer was Zhang Kai, and Tao Qian was also a victim.Why bother to vent your anger on the people of Xuzhou?

In my opinion, his attack on Xuzhou was not so much revenge as a necessary military action to expand his territory and strength.

The brutal massacre he carried out in Xuzhou may have been regarded as a sense of terror in Cao Cao's eyes rather than resentment.He knew that in Xuzhou, because it had been outside the war for a long time, the common people were hardly persecuted by the war.

Compared with other people who suffered from the war, they are very grateful to Tao Qian, their governor. Therefore, they have great confidence in Xuzhou ruled by Tao Qian, and the people's aspirations are aspirational.

Naturally, there is a strong sense of rejection against external forces.Cao Cao wanted to occupy this place. If he attacked directly, the people of Xuzhou would definitely not obey his control. Therefore, he used this cruel method to destroy the self-sufficiency and self-security mentality of Xuzhou people, and forced the people to accept his control. "

Sun Can frowned slightly. Cao Cao’s means to the people of Xuzhou has always been a rift in their friendship. In the letter, he also questioned Cao Cao why he did this. It's too late to regret it!" He sighed sadly in his heart, and continued to look at Jia Xu.

Jia Xu seemed to realize that Sun Can didn't like to hear these things, and immediately changed his words: "All of this is Jia Xu's random guess, whether it is what Cao Cao thinks in his heart, I can't be sure.

But it can be seen from this incident that Cao Cao's methods against people who are not his own are so vicious.Therefore, Jia Xu felt that Cao Cao didn't need to spend so much trouble on those people in the court, because as long as they provoked the limit of Cao Cao's patience, then these people would be eliminated by Cao Cao at once, so there was no need for such trouble.

Xu wondered in his heart what Cao Cao's real intention was.The lord's phrase 'a strong man cuts his wrist' reminded me.Since Cao Cao already knew that our army would attack him from the rear, why did he have to fight Yuan Shao?Xu also said before that if Cao Cao fails, he will lose his troops and have nowhere to go.If he wins, our army will go straight up and snatch his victory directly.

It is not difficult to imagine Cao Cao's complicated heart.The Central Plains is the foundation of the world, and whoever wins the Central Plains wins the world.Cao Cao wanted to take a gamble, betting that he could defeat Yuan Shao in the decisive battle with Yuan Shao.However, he understands that even if he defeats Yuan Shao, then we will march north.But Cao Cao and the lord turned out to be best friends, and he won the lord's character, so he secretly used a strategy to keep the lord.

However, Cao Cao was afraid that the lord would not be able to withstand the temptation of the crowd, so he kept a hand secretly. This is also Cao Cao's trump card to deal with Yuan Shao with confidence.That is, the father of the lord! "

"Where Bo Yuan is located, there are thousands of expert guards. Cao Cao should not be able to invite him!" Liu Hua said in a deep voice. Those experts were carefully arranged by him in order to prevent the past from happening again. Hua has full confidence.

"You don't need to ask, just talk. The guards can protect the safety of the Lord's father, but they can't interfere with his communication. As long as one person tells the Lord's father that the Lord has great ambitions and intends to take advantage of the lack of strength to suppress the rebellion. Stand on your own as the emperor. With the character of the lord's father, I'm afraid he won't let the lord send troops even if he is forced to die!" Jia Xu's tone was still very flat, but his words penetrated into the hearts of the people.

Sun Can was speechless. He never imagined that Cao Cao's scheming was so deep that he would plot a seemingly simple matter on his father's head.

.Ask yourself, if Cao Cao really defeated Yuan Shao, and his father came to tell him not to send troops, he knew that he would never disobey his father's will, because his father was upright and strong, and would probably force him to die. There will be a rift in the father-son relationship between them that will never be repaired, and he will never let this rift appear.

"What should we do now!" Sun Can said in a cold voice. It's not good to be tricked by someone, and I don't know it when I'm tricked by someone, and it's even worse to jump desperately into the trap set by the other party.

Jia Xu smiled strangely and said: "All Cao Cao's schemes can only be implemented when he wins. If he loses in the decisive battle with Yuan Shao, then we can justifiably enter the Central Plains."

Sun Can was happy, thinking well, Cao Cao's scheming is deep, his strategy is strong, he can't turn one person into two people, the difference in military strength is still unresolvable, as long as we do something behind, Cao Cao How could it be possible to defeat Yuan Shao?hehe!Since Cao Cao was planning on me so much, how could I be ashamed not to return the courtesy?
Glancing at everyone, he asked, "Since Cao Cao's intentions have been guessed by Wen He, do you have any good suggestions?"

Guo Jia stepped forward and proposed an excellent method: "Support Cao Cao openly, and support Yuan Shao secretly. On the surface, he is in his stratagem, assisting Cao Cao against Yuan Shao, and secretly assisting Yuan Shao against Cao Cao. Cao Cao is weak, help Cao Cao against Yuan, and Yuan Shao is weak, just support him Yuan vs. Cao, in short, try to delay Yuan Cao's battle as much as possible, and once there is any accident, immediately help Yuan Shao fight Cao Cao with all his strength."
