Chapter 192 Kyushu's changing waves of clouds
The Han clan, Liu Biao from Jingzhou, and Liu Zhang from Yizhou, echoed with Yuan Shaoyao, and also denounced the traitor Yuan Shu at the first time. Jiangdong Sun Group took the opportunity to announce its separation from Yuan Shu and draw a clear boundary with the treacherous hero Yuan Shu. Youzhou Gongsun Zan Liangzhou Ma Teng Han turned a deaf ear to this, indifferent to it, and dived like a fish.
Cao Cao from Gongzhou took the opportunity to use the name of Emperor Xian to issue an edict to order the heroes of the world to fight against the traitor Yuan Shu together. At the same time, he dispatched troops to attack Huainan Yuan Shu with practical actions. In the face of the imperial edict issued by Cao Cao's side relying on the name of Emperor Xian, Youzhou Gongsun Zan Liangzhou Ma Teng responded positively and supported Cao Cao. Therefore, from politics to military, Cao Cao obtained a full basin of benefits and benefits, becoming the most distinctive and eye-catching banner against the rebel Yuan Shu, whose influence far exceeds that of Yizhou Mu Yuan. Shao!
Of course, Yuan Shu's crazy behavior inadvertently covered the truth of Cao Cao's abduction to the emperor, making Cao Cao's side's "hide the sky across the sea" and "moving flowers and trees" and other series interpretations are perfect. The heroes in the world want to explore the true intention of Cao Cao's dedication to the emperor, and they are also powerless at this time. This is all thanks to Yuan Shu.
According to the report of Cao Cao's side placed in Huainan, the reason why Yuan Shu dared to risk the world's greatness and ascend the throne was that Yang Feng, the remnant force of the Xiliang Legion, led nearly 10,000 iron cavalry to take the initiative to surrender... Yang Feng's surrender, Yuan Shu's military strength suddenly increased, and at the same time, his ambition also expanded rapidly, and he was spoiled his confid. At the insultation, Yuan Shu couldn't resist his inflated ambition and desire, and finally tore his face and coaxed him to ascend the throne.
Xu Huang, a super fierce general under Yang Feng's command, did not surrender to Cao Cao. In line with the integrity of "loyalty and righteous people do not matter to the two masters", Xu Huang became Cao Cao's prisoner. Now, in the face of the degeneration of his former master, Yang Feng, Xu Huang had to lead hundreds of his own soldiers to obey Cao Cao. This is one of the practical benefits that Cao Cao has gained in the turbulent situation in the world!
Cao Cao's loyalty to Liu's country moved the young Emperor Xian! In order to encourage Cao Cao to fight against the traitor Yuan Shu, Emperor Xian rewarded the loyal Cao Cao: promoted Cao Cao Cao as a riding general, a part-time scholar, and became the Marquis of Wuping; and awarded Cao Cao a golden charm and Huang Yue.
General Cheqi is one of the three generals who are more than the three princes. The other two generals are General Qiqi and General Wei; Marquis Wuping is a prince, which is two levels higher than the previous county marquis; when the golden talisman is granted, Cao Cao has the right to enforce the army; when Huang Yue is granted, Cao Cao has the right to command inside and outside; when he works part-time, Cao Cao has Supreme executive power.
From this, Cao Cao was qualified to command the army of the world and other state pastoral princes. As a result, Cao Cao successfully took a solid first step to dominate the world.
The ancients said: Misfortunes do not come alone, and good things come in pairs. While Cao Cao obtained a prominent reputation and a lot of practical benefits, the news came from the city of Liu Bei leading the army to abandon the city, which greatly excited Cao Cao's military heart and people's hearts. Liu Bei led the army to leave, and the whole state returned to Cao Cao's arms.
Under the bright situation, under the plan of Guo Jiaxun and others, Cao Cao said to Emperor Xian: I ask your majesty to send an edict to the world, hoping that the princes of all over the world will stop the endless scuffle of land for the city, and work together to fight against the traitor Yuan Shu.
Cao Cao's suggestion was of course adopted by Emperor Xian. At present, Emperor Xian issued an edict and ordered the warlords to gather troops to attack Huainan from all directions and eliminate the rebellious Yuan Shu.
As Cao Cao's senior officials expected, with the edict of Emperor Xian, the development of the situation in reality made them happy: Liu Bei, Wancheng Zhangxiu and other small warlords quickly sent books to express their loyalty to Emperor Xian and express their willingness to the position of Emperor Xian; Yizhou Liu Zhang, Jingzhou Liu Biao, Yizhou Yuan In addition to falling into the book list, Shao and Youzhou Gongsun Zan also sent a large amount of grain and fodder and military supplies.
Lv Bu of Xuzhou stood firmly with Yuan Shu of Huainan and became the founding general of Yuan Shu's new dynasty. As a result, Cao Cao's crusade against Lv Bu in Xuzhou became famous. For Cao Cao, Yuan Shu and Lv Bu are the enemies he wants to get rid of quickly. As for which of them is the first to attack, it needs to be planned... The two attack together? Cao Cao's military strength is not possible for the time being.
In such a good situation, the fifteen-year-old Emperor Xian finally found the feeling of the legendary emperor: when the pen moved and waved a big pen, thousands of troops and horses moved with it. The princes everywhere moved when they heard the wind, and the stars held the moon. Why didn't it feel good?
Late at night, in Xuchang City, in the secret room of Cao Cao's official residence. Under the bright light, the incense burner on the table is surrounded by wisps of green smoke, and the refreshing fragrance of sandalwood makes the smeller relaxed and happy. After the huge table, there was a comfortable soft couch, and Cao Cao, dressed in casual clothes, half sat and half lay on the couch. His important confidants, Xun Yu, Xun Yu, Guo Jia, Cheng Yu and Chen Qun, knelt down at the table one by one. They drank tea and talked casually. The atmosphere is relaxed and comfortable, and there is no sense of embarrassment for subordinates to face their superiors.
And Cao Cao himself did not participate in the conversation. He read the silk books in his hand with a solemn expression, and there was also a pile of silk books on the desk. These days, one after another exciting news has been continuously transmitted to Xuchang from all directions. The high-level figures of Cao Cao's power are like beggars who haven't eaten for several days, suddenly eating a free and grand meal, with infinite satisfaction and glory.
However, there is an essential difference between the two: in the face of a rich dream meal, beggars would rather be full of ghosts than let go of the delicacies in front of them; while the civil and military officials under Cao Cao, even if they are extremely excited, still maintain a rare sober in the face of the gratifying situation.
Cao Cao carefully read the silk book in his hand, with a happy face, and said to everyone with a smile, "Ha ha, Meng De didn't expect that the vassals in various places still respect today's son... Now everything is changing in a direction that is beneficial to us. All this is due to you, especially Guo Jijiu's plan. Draw...",
This is the difference between Cao Cao and other heroes, such as Liu Biao in Jingzhou, Yuan Shao in Yizhou and other princes. Although they look gentle, open-minded and open-minded, once they face the meritorious deeds, they not only do not like to praise their meritorious subordinates, but shameless people attribute the credit to their own heads. Even if you praise the officials under your command, you are insincere and just go through the motions. Cao Cao is completely different from them. He sincerely speaks his mind and clearly realizes his relationship with his subordinates. He can always clearly realize a reality: his martial arts skills are not as good as his brother Cao Renxia, Hou Chun and others, and his talent and strategy is not as good as Guo Jia.
Cao Cao did not feel inferior because of this. Instead, he felt sincerely gratified, because history tells him that anyone who finally became the winner, such as Liu Bang, who fought against the overlord Xiang Yu, and the bronze emperor Liu Xiu, who fought against the original emperor Liu Xuan, the reason why they could finally defeat Powerful opponents are because their own abilities are average, but their officials and generals are outstanding, and they are brilliant stars in any historical time and space!
Compared with Guo Jia Da Xia Hou, Cao Cao also has the characteristics they lack: Cao Cao has a more political position than them who cares about the world and the people. Because Cao Cao's broad vision determines that his political position is not limited to small profits, not limited to local areas, and temporary gains and losses. What's more valuable is that Cao Cao thinks so, and he usually does the same.
To put it bluntly, in modern language: Cao Cao is a qualified chairman of a large multinational company, while Guo Jia, Cao Ren and others are just executives of a region or department of a large company, and are loyal executives. In this way, under the inspiration of the common goal and under the leadership of Cao Cao's martial arts god, the senior management of Cao Cao Group can be united.
When everyone heard Cao Cao's praise, their faces showed incomparable glory, and their faces suddenly became brilliant. Guo Jia's eyes were as clear as before. He said to Cao Cao with a smile on the corners of his mouth, "Cao is flattered. In the name of 'moving Emperor Xian to Luyang, moving to Xu Chang', and at the same time expelling the greedy and arrogant Yang Feng, which is the result of everyone's joint plan. Ha ha, Cao Gong, my subordinates are just at the right time, in the right position, brainstorming and planning a timely strategy for a specific reality... If Cao Gong insists on rewarding merits, Xu Chang Taishou Zhong Yu should be in the first place!"
When Zhong Yu, the governor of Xuchang on the side, heard Guo Jia's name, he immediately stopped the smile on his face and said to Cao Cao with a flattered look, "Cao Gong, I just have the right time to say my immature idea in my heart. If Cao Gong wants to reward him for merit, he thinks that it is the greatest contribution of Guo Jijiu. I just made a start. It was Guo Jijiu who perfected the whole plan! ... He planned to move Emperor Xian from Xuchang, and at the same time planned to attack Yang Feng's troops in Luyang. After that, Guo Jijiu wrote down several possible situations and how to deal with them on silk paper... Later, the development of the matter proved that all the facts were expected of Guo Zhijiu!"
The silk book that Cao Cao just read is the action guide book made by Guo Jia for the move of Emperor Xian. Cao Cao has long been familiar with all the points recorded in this action guide.
At the beginning, Cao Cao's confidence was not enough: he deceived Emperor Xian out of Luoyang from the eyes of Xiliang, and at the same time, he had to paralyze Yang Feng, who was in charge of Emperor Xian, and attack Yang Feng's army in Luyang... Can all this development happen as Guo Jia expected?
But later things developed, as Guo Jia expected in advance. Even when Cao Cao went to the dialogue with Dong Zhao on the capital road, Guo Jia guessed that he was inseparable, which showed that Guo Jia also knew Dong Zhao, who had never met! Therefore, in the silk book, Guo Jia specially left a note for Dong Zhao: Dong Zhao will treat Cao Cao sincerely, and will also offer Cao Cao how to move Emperor Xian to Xuchang...
When the dust fell on the ground and the matter was successful, Cao Cao read this action guide again. In the shock, he couldn't help sighing secretly: Is Guo Jia still a human being? It's simply a god in the world. Even if it is said that Jiang Taigong and Wu Sheng's grandson are nothing more than that.
