Chapter 1078: Rumors
The book is picked up again.
"The forces under the command of the princes?" Cao Cao was stunned for a moment when he heard Li Zhi's words, and then asked, "Brother Xingzhi, do you mean that we are going to rebel against the generals under the princes?" ”
"That's right" Li Zhi saw that Cao Cao reacted so quickly, and after nodding with satisfaction, he said: "The princes really dare not ally with us for their own vital interests.
Because they all know that once Brother Meng De gets the world, their fate will definitely not be very good, even if they don't have their lives, they can't escape the consequences of being imprisoned for life in the end!
But the civil ministers and generals under the command of the princes are different, even if they take refuge in Brother Meng De, they will also receive preferential treatment from Brother Meng De.
And as long as there are people with lofty ideals, they can see that eighty percent of the world may fall into the hands of Brother Meng De.
In this case, why didn't Brother Meng De try to recruit the military generals under the command of the princes?
As long as they are not stupid, they will know what choice to make! ”
"This ......" Cao Cao hesitated after hearing Li Zhidi's words, "Can this method work?" ”
In this age of pride, few people would rebel against their lord and vote for others because of their lives.
Because such people are often despised by others, and will definitely be abused and ridiculed by others in the future, no one is willing to change the door if they are not forced to be helpless.
"Absolutely!" Seeing Cao Cao's hesitation, Li Zhi nodded affirmatively and said, "Especially those who drag their families with their families, these people have to think about their families.
Therefore, knowing that Brother Meng De has a great chance of getting the world, they will definitely consider leaving a way back.
If Brother Meng De really extended an olive branch to them, then they would definitely consider it.
At that time, Brother Meng De can tell them that they do not need to rebel immediately, but that they will first lurk in the power of the princes for the time being.
After Brother Meng De and the princes fought, let them show a little flaw and help Brother Meng De win the final victory.
When the time comes, the princes will lose, and Brother Meng De will be able to take those who have already taken refuge in Brother Meng De in a grand manner. ”
Speaking of which, Li Zhi gave everyone some time to think.
After waiting for a while, after everyone gradually came to their senses, Li Zhicai continued to speak: "In other words, even if those people accept Brother Meng De's solicitation, they will not damage their reputation.
Because apart from Brother Meng De, no one knew that they had taken refuge in Brother Meng De.
In this way, except for those who are more stubborn, the vast majority of civil ministers and military generals under the command of the princes will inevitably accept the solicitation of Brother Meng De.
At that time, it will not be easy for Brother Meng De to deal with the princes? ”
"This is a good way" After Cao Cao heard Li Zhi's words, he thought for a moment and nodded with satisfaction.
Then he suddenly frowned, and asked Li Zhi with a puzzled face: "That's not right, Brother Xingzhi!"
What Brother Wei asked just now was how to stop the princes, so that they could not attack Brother Wei for the time being, so that Brother Wei had a chance to develop.
Although your strategy of winning over the generals under the command of the princes is indeed very useful, this brother's strategy can only work in the decisive battle.
This answer is not the same as the question that Brother Wei just asked, right? ”
"No, no, no, no......" Li Zhi shook his head after hearing Cao Cao's words, and said with a confident face: "This strategy is not that simple.
As long as the civil and military generals under the command of the princes surrendered to Brother Meng De, Brother Meng De could let them persuade their respective lords.
When the time comes, Brother Meng De can take the matter of "persuading everyone to take their own initiative" as a petition.
Whoever can persuade his own lord, Brother Meng De will take him in, and give high-ranking officials a generous gift in the future.
In this way, those who have the heart to take refuge in Brother Meng De will inevitably try their best to prevent their lord from attacking Brother Meng De.
When the time comes, even if one or two princes are not persuaded to stay, it will not matter.
Just one or two princes, even if they are united, it won't cause much trouble to Brother Meng De! ”
"Papapa...... Cao Cao's eyes became more and more shiny the more he listened, and at the end, he couldn't help it, clapped his hands and applauded: "Good!" The virtuous brother of the line is worthy of being the virtuous brother of the line, and he is still as powerful as ever! ”
After saying this, he looked at Xun Yu on the side and asked, "Wen Ruo, have you written it down?" ”
"Got it." Xun Yu nodded with a smile and said, "From the time the virtuous brother of Xingzhi first started to speak, a certain subordinate has been remembering it all the time, and he has not left a word. ”
"Good!" Cao Cao nodded with satisfaction and said: "Since this is the case, then this matter will be left to you, as long as you can achieve your goal, whether it is gold, silver, jewelry, or beautiful female slaves, you will go as much as possible!"
There is only one request for a certain family, no matter what method you use, you can make at least half of the princes give up the idea of attacking a certain family? ”
"......" Xun Yu was a steady person, and after hearing Cao Cao's words, he did not answer immediately, but fell into deep thought.
After a long while, he raised his head, nodded firmly, and said, "Please rest assured, my subordinates are sure that all the other princes except Zhang Yan will dispel the idea of attacking the lord." ”
"Zhang Yan......" Cao Cao heard Xun Yu's words, and after being silent for a while, he shook his head with a wry smile,
Of course, he knew why Xun Yu excluded Zhang Yan alone,
Because
The group of generals under Zhang Yan's command were all from bandits, and the best were only from civilian backgrounds, and few of them were literate.
Their wisdom limits them, so that they can't see the way forward at all,
Therefore, they don't think that Cao Cao can finally get the world,
And it is precisely because of this that even if Cao Cao extended an olive branch to them, these people will not only not agree, but will think that Cao Cao is afraid of them!
So Xun Yu excluded the people under Zhang Yan from the beginning.
This thing is very ironic, although the group of fools under Zhang Yan are arrogant, but they will not take refuge in Cao Cao,
And those smart people who think they have seen through the situation are very likely to accept Cao Cao's solicitation.
"That's it" After thinking about it, Cao Cao shook his head with a wry smile and said: "Anyway, Zhang Yan is now broken, even if he can't recruit the Wenchen generals under his command, Zhang Yan is unlikely to make a move against a certain family, he now not only has to guard against a certain family, but also against the group of generals under his command, big and small, because Zhang Yan is missing a leg, the deterrent power of the forces under his command has been greatly reduced, maybe if we don't wait for us to attack them, they will die out by themselves because of civil strife." ”
"Brother Meng De is right" Li Zhi heard Cao Cao's words, nodded seriously and said: "This trip to Yanzhou, the harvest is not small.
not only successfully weakened Zhang Yan's power, but also discovered a drawback in Zhang Yan's power.
That is, the composition of the forces under Zhang Yan's command is very complicated!
Although on the surface, Zhang Yan is the lord of Yanzhou and can rule everything, but the actual situation is that the big and small leaders under Zhang Yan are not convinced by him, and they always want to find an opportunity to overthrow Zhang Yan.
And now, after Zhang Yan broke a leg, those people must have thought that the opportunity had come, maybe now Zhang Yan has already fought with those who betrayed him!
Therefore, Zhang Yan is no longer a threat to Brother Meng De, and Brother Meng De can not worry about Zhang Yan for the time being. ”
To be honest, Li Zhidu thought that Zhang Yan might have been killed by the group of people under his command, although this possibility was not too great, but Zhang Yan could not become a threat to Cao Cao for the time being.
"Well, what the virtuous brother said is reasonable." Cao Cao trusted Li Zhi more, so after Li Zhi said these words, he immediately nodded in agreement.
"Since that's the case, then don't worry about Zhang Yan, let's wait for the other princes to attack first.
As long as we can fight against so many companies, we can win enough time for us to develop! ”
After saying this, he looked at Xun Yu seriously, "Wen Ruo, this matter is very important, I hope you can take it seriously and don't live up to the expectations of a certain family." ”
"Please rest assured, my subordinates will do their best to subdue the forces under the command of other princes!"
