The book is picked up again.

After listening to Li Zhi's explanation, Cao Cao suddenly realized, "What does the virtuous brother mean is that not only does it take a while for the elder brother to integrate his own forces, but those princes also need time to run in and appease their subordinates?" ”

"That's right." After Li Zhi nodded, he said with a smile: "The reason why those princes didn't immediately attack Brother Meng De is because they also have all kinds of things under their command that drag them down, so that they can't fight Brother Meng De to the death!"

Therefore, although they were ostensibly allied, and all of them shouted slogans that shook the sky, none of them took the initiative to attack. ”

Speaking of this, Li Zhi thought of Zhang Yan, and after smiling, he said: "It's just that Zhang Yan, the big fool, believed other people's words and planned to attack Brother Meng De."

If he hadn't been injured in his calculations, once he made a move, the other princes would definitely not help, but would sit back and watch Brother Meng De and Zhang Yan lose both.

For the princes, although Brother Meng De is their number one enemy, after they defeat Brother Meng De, the other princes are their mortal enemies!

Therefore, in their minds, Brother Meng De is actually no different from other princes.

And it is precisely because of this that all the princes have ghosts in their hearts, hoping that other princes can lose and lose with Brother Meng De and sit on the mountain alone to watch the tiger fight, but ......"

After saying this, Li Zhi laughed playfully, "However, no one is a fool to be able to achieve the position of a prince."

All of them have the intention of watching the tiger fight from a mountain, so no one dares to strike first.

Because they were afraid that when they made a move, the other princes would not help.

Therefore, although their alliance can barely be called an alliance, the princes of their alliance are all restraining each other!

In addition, there are a few princes who are in a bad situation now, so they will definitely not make a move against Brother Meng De within this year! ”

Li Zhi was very sure when he said this!

Because he had carefully thought about the situation of the princes, and found that although the princes seemed to be developing well on the surface, after carefully watching the information of the princes, he found that the princes had their own hidden dangers.

Like what......

The family under Cao Cao has gradually become a big patient,

The people of Liangzhou under Dong Zhuo are unstable,

Liu Biao's command is controlled by all families,

Gongsun Chan only knows nothing and does not care about the people, so the people under his command are back, and few people are willing to serve him and so on......

And if they want to fight to the death with Cao Cao, they must eliminate these hidden dangers!

But these hidden dangers are all major events, how difficult is it to eliminate them?!

Therefore, Li Zhi is sure that the princes will need at least a year to rectify the forces under their command!

After Cao Cao listened to Li Zhi's analysis, the light in his eyes was terrifying, "Does the virtuous brother mean that there is still a year of development time for the brother?" Hahaha......"

After asking, Cao Cao couldn't help but laugh.

No one lacks time or develops faster than him!

Just give him a year, and the princes will not have to worry!

At that time, even if the princes combine wholeheartedly, Cao Cao will be sure to defeat them all!

"Brother Meng De must not be negligent!" Looking at Cao Cao, who was a little carried away, Li Zhi solemnly admonished: "

Although Brother Meng De can use this year's time to develop vigorously and make his power an iron bucket!

But the other princes weren't vegetarians either!

They can be called princes, and they all have their own means.

It is impossible for them not to know that after a year, their strength will not be as good as that of Brother Mengde.

So, during the year, they are bound to find a way to bridge the gap! ”

"Hah!" Cao Cao also laughed mockingly, shook his head, and said, "Even if they are given a year, what will they do?"

Although their territory is larger than that of their brother, the territory occupied by the brother is the essence of the world!

Seventy percent of the people in the world are under the command of the brother, and after a year of development, the wave of the brother can gather a million male soldiers!

And those princes who only account for 30% of the people are by no means the opponents of their brothers, even if they forcibly pull out all the young and strong people under their rule!

In that case, why should Brother Wei be afraid of those princes who have their own ghosts? ”

Cao Cao is very inflated now, in fact, it's no wonder that he, no matter who has absolute strength, he will not look up to his opponent too much!

Cao Cao occupies forty percent of the world's territory, and these forty percent of the territory is the essence of the land, accounting for seventy percent of the world's population!

In addition, the financial development of these places is very good, and there are many rattan armors provided by Li Zhi.

These advantages add up, after a year, even if a pig comes to command the army under Cao Cao's command, he will not lose too badly, and maybe there will be a chance to win!

Therefore, Cao Cao was even thinking about what would happen after the founding of the country and the emperor.

"Brother Meng De, don't be careless!" When Li Zhi heard Cao Cao's words, he shook his head and said with a frown: "There is indeed a big gap between the princes and Brother Meng De.

However, I think that those princes will definitely not wait to be killed, and will definitely find a way to make up for the gap.

There are two ways to bridge this gap.

First, find a way to open source.

They had to find a way to outgrow Brother Meng in a short period of time.

But this is not very likely!

After all, the territory is so big and the population is so large, even if they develop to the limit, they are by no means the opponent of Brother Meng De.

Therefore, in the next certainty, they will definitely use the second method - to restrict the development of Brother Meng De.

During this year, they will definitely do everything they can to destroy the forces under Brother Meng De's command! ”

"Hahaha......" Cao Cao was still listening very seriously, but when Li Zhi said the last, Cao Cao couldn't help laughing, "Brother Xingzhi is too worried.

Brother Wei admitted that if they formed an alliance and dealt with Brother Wei wholeheartedly, Brother Wei really had no certainty of victory now.

But if they want to harass the army of their brothers with only a small number of troops, then they will eat as many people as they come!

It just so happens that there are some recruits under the command of the brother, if they really dare to make trouble, then the brother will use them to train the soldiers! ”

"......" After Li Zhi heard his father's words, he looked at him speechlessly for a long time.

It wasn't until Cao Cao's face was a little uncomfortable that Li Zhi sighed and said, "Brother Meng De, now you are not a general, but the leader of a faction!"

You can't just keep your eyes on the military!

Your power is not only those armies, but also the 10 million people under your command! ”

"This ......!!!" After Cao Cao heard this, his face was stunned, and then he stood up abruptly with a shocked face, "Brother Xingzhi, what do you mean......

Those princes will send people to harass the common people under the rule of their brothers?! ”

"That's right!" After Li Zhi frowned and nodded, he smiled bitterly: "Although this is just a conjecture under the law, this conjecture is likely to turn out to be true!" ”

"It's... It can't be, right? Cao Cao heard Li Zhidi's words, and after speaking, his face was stunned. He muttered, "How dare they risk the world's condemnation?

Are they not afraid that the world will spurn them?

And by doing so, aren't they losing the hearts of the people?

Without the support of the people, how can they compete for world domination? ”

Faced with Cao Cao's series of questions, Li Zhi smiled bitterly, then looked at Cao Cao with blazing eyes and asked, "Brother Meng De." If you are in their position and are cornered, will you still take care of the people?! ”

Speaking of this, he didn't wait for Cao Cao to answer, he shook his head and asked himself: "Absolutely not!"

Even his life is almost gone, how can he still take care of the people's hearts?!

Besides, since ancient times, they have been kings and losers, as long as they defeat Brother Meng De, when the time comes, they can fool the people with a random reason, so that the people don't know the truth! ”

"......" After Cao Cao heard Li Zhi's words, his face suddenly turned pale!

Once Li Zhi's words come true, then he may really be dragged down by the princes!

for his power is too great, and all the princes are surrounded by his power.

Only a few and a half of the princes did not border him, and most of the other princes directly bordered him!

Once the princes plan to attack the common people, then Cao Cao will fall into the dilemma of not being able to take care of the tail!

In other words, as long as all the princes worked together, each sent a small group of elite cavalry to harass Cao Cao's rule.

At that time, even if Cao Cao has the power to reach the sky, it will be difficult to deal with these elite cavalry who come and go without a trace!

As soon as he thought of this, the pride that had risen in Cao Cao's heart was instantly struck away.

Cao Cao didn't care about anything else now, lowered his head and tried hard to think about how to deal with the situation that Li Zhi said.

But after thinking about it for a long time, he was dejected to find that he had no way to deal with such a small-scale attack!

Cao Cao was also a master of the art of war, and he knew that in the face of such small-scale, multi-batch attacks, the best way to do so was to clear the wilderness.

But Cao Cao couldn't do it at all!

Forehead...... It's not that it can't be done, but even if it does, Cao Cao's power will collapse!

It's all because Cao Cao and other princes have too many places bordering each other!

If he implemented the strategy of fortifying the walls and clearing the wilderness in every border place, then Cao Cao would not talk about development, and the ordinary people he had resettled and who were withdrawn back by him would be enough for him to be distracted from developing his own power.

And that's what the princes want to achieve!

"Brother Xingzhi, since you raised this question, there must be a solution, right?" Cao Cao, who had no clue, suddenly remembered Li Zhi, and looked at Li Zhi with expectant eyes, hoping to get a definite answer.

After Li Zhi heard Cao Cao's words......
