Chapter 58 Think about the bright future

Cao Cao took a deep breath, stabilized his mood, and continued to say to the crowd slowly: "According to the scout investigation in front of me, I sent to the north camp to inform the messenger of Gongsun Zan of the withdrawal of the army, who was killed in the wild by the secretly lurking Yizhou army; and Gongsun Zan should know our secret withdrawal through other channels. This Gongsun Zhan must be very clear about his current situation. Why doesn't Gongsun Zhan lead the army to retreat, but instead commands the army to enter the city to grab the booty? ... Ladies and gentlemen, the later development of the situation was very strange: Yuan Shu openly broke with Yuan Shao and led the army to leave Chang'an City. At the same time, Yuan Shao launched a sneak attack on the Youzhou army in the city and attacked the allies... As for whether the Yizhou army completely annihilated the Youzhou army in the city, due to the strict blockade of the city by the Yizhou army, the intelligence is temporarily If it can't be transmitted, we won't know!"

After Cao Cao told everyone about the situation in Chang'an City at this time, he was also lost in thought like everyone. A moment later, Xun Yu arched his hand and said to Cao Cao, "Mr. Cao, what is happening at present is expected by Guo Fengxiao. Does Mr. Cao remember that Guo Fengxiao once jokingly said: If Gongsun Zan wants to fight with Yuan Shao to the end, he will automatically enter the game, put the army to death, and then seek a way to make a living... The current situation Development note: The hatred between Gongsun Zan and Yuan Shao cannot be resolved by any force! ..."

When Cao Cao heard Xun Yu's prompt, he suddenly thought of Guo Jia's various possible assertions about the Battle of Chang'an: including Guo Jia's prediction that in the face of huge inducement, the Yuan brothers may turn against each other. The hatred accumulated over the years was imminent, and finally a blatant break... Of course, Guo Jia also predicted: Gongsun Zan One side will successfully break through and break the encirclement and interception of Yuan Shao's side.

"Well, that's right, what Xun Yu Changshi said is true. At present, it seems that the development of the situation is in Guo Fengxiao's expectation..." Cao Cao's slightly frown suddenly unfolded, and then he smiled and said, "Ha ha, when I return to Bozhou City, I must open Guo Fengxiao's head and see what is in his head. Since it is so unexpected, everything is He is calculating!"

Cao Cao's serious joke immediately aroused the laughter of everyone. In a relaxed atmosphere, everyone can't help but miss Guo Jia. Thinking of Guo Jia's loose black hair and clear eyes, her clear eyes seem to penetrate anything and heart in the world...

Taishici wanted to rush to the vicinity of Luoyang City in Kyoto as soon as possible, but due to the large number of materials they carried, their marching speed was at most the same as that of ordinary caravans.

Along the way, Taishici found that there were mountain thieves who wanted to plunder them. Of course, these beautiful ideas only stay in the imagination of the mountain thieves: when a group of mountain thieves see the regular military equipment and strict military discipline of Taishi Ci's army, they can only cherish the feelings of regret, sad, and sneak away.

Along the way, in order to cultivate Taishici's cautious and meticulous habits, Diao Chan always lets Taishici express his understanding and views through language on some subtle or macro issues. Of course, in order to avoid invisible taboos, Diao Chan communicates with Tai Shici through his eyes.

In the face of a group of mountain thieves and robbers, Diao Chan stared at Tai Shici with doubt. At this time, Diao Chan and Cui'er rode a good foal in the middle, and Tai Shici and Ma Yunqi were guarding on both sides.

When Tai Shici saw Diao Chan's focused eyes, he confessed his views on the mountain thief: "In the past few months, the princes of all sides have focused on participating in the war against the king of Qin. Because the government's troops are concentrated near Chang'an City, the local military strength is insufficient, this situation makes Huang The remnants of the scarf army and local mountain thieves can take advantage of it, and these evil forces will make waves and harm one side! ... These mountain thieves are just a small force. They are Jin Yu's property, but they are unable to do it, hehe."

After listening to Tai Shici's explanation, the doubt in Diao Chan's eyes flashed away, and she nodded to Tai Shici with satisfaction. And Ma Yunqi is not interested in these. As long as she can be with Tai Shici all the time, she will be satisfied.

The army rested between the beautiful mountains and rivers. In the simple tent, Ma Yunqi entered the cultivation by relying on Taishi Ci. In the battle of Luohe Stone Bridge, Taishici and Ma Yunqi were both great losses of Zhenyuan's internal strength. They could not recover without ten days and half months of meditation and practice. Diao Chan lay on the soft couch and rested under the care of Cuier.

And Tai Shici looked at the military map while self-studying. At this time, Tai Shici's level of looking at the map is definitely not the level of the Huns Sulman. Facing the map, Taishi Ci thought: If his adoptive brother Guo Jia personally participated in the battle against the alliance army and the Xiliang Legion, what would Guo Jia have at this time? Especially after the killing of each other within the allied forces and the breakup of internal confedance, what kind of changes will happen in the Han Dynasty?

At this moment, how much Taishici wants to listen to Guo Jiagao's comments. This time, Taishi Ci participated in the anti-rebellion alliance army and saw the big scene for the first time in his life. He also personally participated in the bloody siege battle, the battle of swords and shadows. What touched Tai Shici's nerves more was the power of strong and strong soldiers from all walks of life: not to mention Cao Cao, who had a secret weapon continuous stone thrower, was a failure. The Xiliang Legion, even if more than half of its troops are lost, there are still nearly 100,000 iron-blooded and fierce soldiers at this time. The thin camel is really bigger than the horse. Yuan Shao, who steals chickens and can't eat rice, still has a strong force that is envied by other princes and hegemons. The hundred-legged worm dies without stiffness.

In addition to the troops, these princes and hegemons also have the territory that Tai Shici envies. At a normal rate of development, Taishi Ci will not get the territory that Yuan Shao actually owns in his whole life, which is the territory occupied by Liu Biao in Jingzhou, Liu Yan in Yizhou and other royal clans, and it is difficult for Tai Shici to achieve.

The military strength and territory are not the focus of Tai Shici's consideration at this time. Tai Shici combined Guo Jia's handbook with the Chang'an Campaign and the military map to think and analyze: the impact of the results of the Chang'an Campaign on the current forces of all parties, and the development trend of princes overlords in the next few years.

In the handbook left by Guo Jia to Tai Shici, it records the customs of all parts of China and the forces of the vassals in Kyushu in detail. In the handbook, Guo Jia also predicted the direction of the future of history: it contains the battles of the Xiliang Legion and the alliance of various princes. Of course, Guo Jia can only predict the time and place of the battle. As for the specific year of the war, Guo Jia can't accurately predict.

In the note, Guo Jia clearly pointed out that the second war between the Xiliang Legion and the alliance of various princes will not easily win the first war. The alliance army representing the righteous side will eventually defeat the invincible Xiliang Legion. After the defeat of the Xiliang Legion, the alliance of princes will Further strengthen; in troubled times, the emperor's authority is gone, and the Xiliang Legion withdraws from the stage of history, and all kinds of princes will have a battle for hegemony in the Central Plains.

Of course, the notes are only general records, and there are no specific names of various princes. Take the notebook record as the standard: Cao Cao and other people are all rising stars.

Gathering Guo Jia's handwriting, Tai Shici looked at the map, and his mind was full of changes and thoughts. Tai Shici wants to see through the development of the situation in the devious reality, and to seek his own strong path in the era of beacon smoke. He is determined to fulfill his promise to Guo Jia: within ten years, he will become a hegemon.

Although it is closed, the map of China and Kyushu is still clearly presented in Taishici's mind: Liangzhou in the northwest of China should belong to Ma Teng and Han Sui at this time; Yongzhou, where Chang'an is located, should still be under the control of the Xiliang Legion. According to inference, Taishici believes that Yuan Shao will eventually give up Chang'an City, and Xi The Liang Legion will reoccupy Chang'an City; Yuan Shao, who has lost soldiers, will next stick to his original territory. Like the Xiliang Legion, Yuan Shao's side has begun to go downhill since then. No matter how much prestige Yuan Shao has won in the future, even if he has the title of Duke Zhou;

In the northeast of China, Youzhou will completely belong to Gongsun Zan. In the future, Gongsun Zan will definitely plan to defeat Lieutenant Liu Yu, give Liu Yu a thunderbolt, and completely eliminate it. In the hinterland of the Central Plains, Cao Cao in Gongzhou will definitely rise in a very short time. Guo Jia did not expect the rise of Cao Cao; Jingzhou and Yizhou will be in the royal family. Under the governance of Liu Biao and Liu Yan, the steady development has become a temporary peaceful area in troubled times. There will also be great changes in Qingzhou. Liu Yu, the pastor of Qingzhou, will face the invasion of Sun Ce in Jiangdong, and have already retaliated by the remnants of the Yellow Turban Army. Even if the remnants of the Yellow Turban Army are safe and guarded, Cao Cao, who intervenes in Qingzhou, will force Huang. The remnants of the women's army harassed Liu Yu; of course, Taishici also wanted to take Qingzhou as his own. Can Taishici successfully achieve this goal in the competition of all forces?

After filtering the situation in the world, Tai Shici opened his eyes and focused on the area of Qingzhou on the map. Taishici knew that as long as he wanted to take Qingzhou for himself, Gongsun Zan in the north of Qingzhou would not embarrass him. After all, Gongsun Zan had a cultivated kindness to improve Tai Shici's martial arts skills. After all, Tai Shici also made great contributions to Gongsun Zan's safe retreat. In addition to the kindness between individuals, in the next few years, the focus of Gongsun Zan's development is to appease the people internally. Externally, he will definitely go to the end with Yuan Shao. In a word, Gongsun Zan is not in the mood to occupy Qingzhou.

Cao Cao, who has intervened in Qingzhou, will shrink his power in the future and go all out to develop in the hinterland of the Central Plains. Therefore, Cao Cao will not become a roadblock and stumbling block for Taishi Ciba to occupy Qingzhou.

But can Taishi Ci pass the level of Qingzhou Pastor Liu Yao? Perhaps Taishici can easily eliminate Liu Yao with his strength and power, and even some of the rich clans attached to Liu Yu, but Taishici can never pass the secular concept. After all, there have been Confucius, a literary saint, and a grandson of a martial saint in Qingzhou. The concept of the people in Qingzhou is extremely conservative. Their concept of behavior absolutely follows the way of Confucius and Menci. The three principles and five are always the standards of life. In such an environment, even if Taishi Ci logically controls Qingzhou, he can't get rid of the notoriety of usurpation of power. Ordinary people will think: You are so powerful, why don't you support Liu Yu? Why do you replace him? Liu Yao is an authentic royal relative, and his surname is Liu at this time.

After thinking about it, Tai Shici still gave up Qingzhou. Of course, Taishici is also concerned about the vast Jiaozhou and the southern area of Yangzhou with barbarian forces. At this time, the Sun family in Jiangdong gradually gained a foothold in the northern part of Yangzhou. Due to its limited strength, the Sun family was temporarily unable to fight against the barbarian forces in southern Yangzhou.
