Three Kingdoms: Cao Cao is stunned when he reveals his time-traveling identity.
Chapter 67: Infringing upon the interests of the Imperial Uncle of the Han Dynasty, isn't that
"Jingming, what brilliant plan do you have? Tell me quickly!"
Cao Cao immediately became anxious.
He wished he could just kick Xun You out.
Why are there so many questions?
More than how Su Chen made his deductions, he was more concerned about Su Chen's final plan.
A plan to take over the entire cities of Yangzhou and Xuzhou?!
This is absolutely good news for Cao Cao!
Let alone getting both.
Even just getting one of them could completely change his current predicament!
Both Xuzhou and Yangzhou have far more money and grain than Yanzhou!
If we get it, the size of Cao Cao's army will increase dramatically!
At that time, we won't even need to worry about the pressure from Yuan Shao, Gongsun Zan, and others in the north!
Su Chen smiled slightly and said:
"This is merely my humble opinion."
"This plan is a scheme to use one tiger to devour another!"
Using one tiger to devour another?!
These four words were uttered.
This immediately made Xun Yu's heart skip a beat.
Why did this idea feel so strangely familiar to him?
After hearing about what happened in Xuzhou yesterday, he already had a rough idea in mind.
It's quite like using one tiger to devour another!
He took advantage of the conflict between Liu Bei and Lü Bu, and watched them fight from the sidelines.
Could it be that Su Chen has already taken the lead over him?
Have you thought this idea through completely?
Now, he no longer dared to underestimate this somewhat carefree young man.
His gaze gradually became serious.
"What's the plan to use one tiger to devour another?"
Xun Yu slowly opened his mouth and asked.
At this moment, he was more anxious than anyone else.
He wanted to hear whether Su Chen's plan was the same as his own.
Who is the tiger? And who is the wolf?
"Lu Bu is an impatient man; seeing such an opportunity, he will surely be extremely greedy."
"He will definitely lose control, and even if Chen Gong tries to dissuade him, he may not listen."
"Within five days, even if no one leads the army,..."
"He will also gather troops from Xuzhou to attack Yuan Shu."
Su Chen said calmly.
Even if someone is impatient, it's unlikely they would act that way.
"Isn't this just placing your hopes on others?"
Xun You still spoke with some disdain.
"No."
"Brother Gongda, you have a wealth of knowledge, but you still need to put it to use."
Su Chen glanced at Xun You and chuckled.
"?!"
Xun You was so angry he almost jumped up.
This is the first time someone has said they can't use their brush and ink properly!
"Lu Bu not only wanted to take Yangzhou, but also wanted to gain the recognition of the people of the world."
"Zhang Fei's words at Hulao Pass: 'Slave of three surnames.'"
"This directly put a label on Lü Bu in front of the whole world."
"Now, who isn't calling him a traitor behind his back?"
Su Chen said methodically:
"If he wants to get rid of this label, he needs an opportunity to prove himself."
"Xuzhou was obtained illegitimately, so it's unacceptable."
"But Yuan Shu's actions this time deserve to be punished by everyone."
"As long as he kills Yuan Shu and eliminates the traitor."
"Even if he doesn't get Yangzhou, his reputation will be greatly improved."
"Right now, when he's working for himself, he'll naturally focus on his reputation."
"Therefore, he will definitely make a move."
Even if I'm not the first to step up, I'll definitely lend a hand.
After saying that, Su Chen glanced at Xun You again:
"This is not about pinning your hopes on others."
"Instead, we see that Lü Bu only has one path to take; he has no other way to go."
This sentence completely stifled Xun You.
He wanted to say something in rebuttal.
However, it was discovered that Su Chen's statement was almost flawless.
He simply couldn't find a way to argue with him.
He could only grit his teeth and stare intently at Su Chen.
He wanted to hear what other brilliant ideas Su Chen had.
Cao Cao immediately smiled and said:
"Okay, okay, okay!"
"Jingming's words are true."
"This time, Lü Bu had no choice!"
"He has no reputation, so he will certainly not be able to establish himself."
"I doubt even Chen Gong would stop him."
"But what happens after that? What should we do?"
Su Chen's expression changed, and he cupped his hands to Cao Cao, saying:
"Master Sikong, we can't just sit idly by either."
"We must also send troops."
As soon as he finished speaking, Xun You frowned deeply:
"Didn't you just say you'd hold back?"
"In that case, isn't this still agreeing with our ideas?"
"Where did this idea of using one tiger to devour another come from?"
Su Chen continued:
"Our goal is not Yangzhou."
Not Yangzhou?
These words immediately made Cao Cao's eyes light up again.
"Yangzhou is a cake in their eyes."
"But if several wolves are fighting over a cake, even if we go together, we won't get much."
"Our target is Xuzhou."
Su Chen stood with his hands behind his back and calmly said:
"If Lü Bu wants to take Yangzhou, Liu Bei will also try to take it."
"Liu Bei needed his reputation more, so even if he lost Xiaopei, he still responded to the call to punish the traitors of the Han Dynasty."
"Our army only needs to send some troops, which is a subtle indication that we are moving closer to Yangzhou."
"From this point on, Lü Bu will have no more worries and will focus all his main forces on Yangzhou."
"At that time, with the strength of our army, we can take Xuzhou in two days."
These words immediately caused everyone to stand up!
Take Xuzhou?!
They never expected Su Chen to say such a thing.
"Absurd, utterly absurd!"
"If we do that, what will people think of Sikong?!"
"Ignoring the perilous state of the Han Dynasty, they leave the traitors unattended and instead attack the righteous men who are fighting against them!"
"Wouldn't Sikong be branded as an accomplice of a traitor then?!"
Xun You could no longer hold back and spoke in a cold voice.
Cheng Yu, who had been silent until now, also frowned.
"Jingming, this idea is good."
"But as you just said, water can carry a boat, but it can also capsize it!"
"Doing this will completely ruin our army's reputation!"
Although Cao Cao had previously massacred the city of Xuzhou, which had already earned him the contempt of the people, he was still despised by the world.
However, after improvements were made, Cao Cao's army regained some of its reputation in Yanzhou.
The situation regarding Cao Cao's order for his troops not to harm the people is gradually easing.
This same incident also happened in Xuzhou!
Wouldn't this destroy everything that's been done before?!
"I never said I wouldn't go and punish the traitors."
"Our troops marching towards Yangzhou are the vanguard!"
"Responding to the call to action, why should we only be attacking a traitor like Yuan Shu?"
"Isn't Lü Bu a traitor too?"
Xun You said with dissatisfaction:
"Where did this statement come from?"
"No matter what, Lü Bu was a hero who killed Dong Zhuo."
"Although we have taken Xuzhou, we have not overstepped our bounds."
"What is your motive?"
Su Chen spoke calmly:
"Naturally, there's a legitimate reason for this!"
"It was he who seized Xuzhou from Liu Bei!"
"Xuzhou was originally intended by Tao Qian to be given to Liu Bei!"
"But it was obtained through Lü Bu's treacherous schemes, and thus it was acquired unjustly!"
"Everyone in the world knows this!"
"Liu Bei has just received the title of Imperial Uncle bestowed by the Emperor!"
"To infringe upon the interests of the Imperial Uncle of the Han Dynasty, isn't that treason?!"
