Chapter 612: The Battle of Nine Mile Mountain (1)
The book is picked up again.
"Hiss......" Cao Cao gasped after hearing Guo Jia's words, and said with a blue face: "Maybe it's really possible, I have to guard against it!" β
"Alas......" When he said this, Cao Cao let out a long sigh and said helplessly: "Brother Wei thought that he could have a comfortable New Year in Luoyang City, but there was something like Zang Ba!"
After coming to Xuzhou, Wei Brother thought that no matter how Zang Ba was, he would have to finish the New Year before he could launch an attack on Xuzhou.
Unexpectedly, Yuan Shao was very likely to support Zang Ba!
When can I let my brother relax for a while......"
Speaking of this, Cao Cao shook his head, his face full of helplessness.
After Guo Jia heard Cao Cao's words, he glanced at him and replied unhurriedly: "Since Brother Meng De wants to dominate the world, he must be prepared to work hard all his life!"
Things in the world are disturbing, and it is not so easy to determine the world in one fell swoop, you need to be careful and patient!
Moreover, Brother Meng De must also be ready to deal with the attacks of the princes of the world at any time.
This Zang Ba incident is just an appetizer, and the real embarrassment is still to come.
There are more than a dozen princes in the world, if Brother Meng De wants to pacify the world, he must pacify these princes one by one!
And when Brother Meng De is powerful, the other princes will definitely unite to deal with Brother Meng De, and the trouble will be even worse than now!
Moreover, even after Brother Meng De unified the Eight Desolations, it would not be easy.
Because being an emperor is more mind-consuming than competing for domination of the world!
Therefore, unless Brother Meng De wants to be a faint king, or he dies in the process of dominating the world.
Otherwise, Brother Meng De would not have had a day of leisure in this life! β
"......" Cao Cao was stunned after listening to Guo Jia's words, and after a long time, he smiled bitterly and said: "Being said by Feng Xiao, my brother actually regretted it a little, and I knew that I would not participate in this battle for domination of the world." β
After Guo Jia glanced at Cao Cao, he knew that he was just complaining.
If Cao Cao is really not allowed to dominate the world, he will definitely not agree.
Therefore, after Guo Jia heard Cao Cao's words, he sneered and said, "It's too late to regret it now!"
Brother Meng De now has a lot of power, and he has shown his intention to dominate the world, and the princes above the world will never allow Brother Meng De to retreat with his whole body!
In this troubled world, if you want to live comfortably and don't want to dominate the world, you can only have strong strength like your brother, but you clearly show that you have no intention of the world.
In this way, the princes were afraid of its power and felt that it was not a threat, so they would not act against it.
Of course, like my brother, it's just a temporary peace.
After the world is decided, it is impossible for my brother to stay out of the matter, and he can only lie in the person who dominates the eight wildernesses!
Otherwise, the person who rules the world will definitely do it to his brother!
Because no emperor would allow a huge force under his command that is not under his control! β
Cao Cao just said that he wanted to quit the battle for world domination, but it was just a momentary irritability, and he didn't think so in his heart.
Therefore, after hearing Guo Jia's words, he nodded in agreement.
Then, he glanced at Guo Jia with a surprised gaze.
Although he knew that Guo Jia was a smart person, he always felt that Guo Jia was too well protected by Li Zhi, had no experience, and did not know much about the world's major affairs.
However, through Guo Jia's words, he found that Guo Jia is very far-sighted and knows everything about the world's major events.
This is no longer a smart person, but a real talent!
Smart people abound, but talented people are rare, so Cao Cao attaches more importance to Guo Jia.
After discovering Guo Jia's talent, Cao Cao did not hesitate, and asked Guo Jia: "Fengxiao, after you go to Xuzhou, are you willing to serve as the chief secretary of Xuzhou?" β
If ordinary people heard Cao Cao's words, they would definitely be overjoyed.
Because the position of the main book is very important for the land of a state, it can be said that one person is above ten thousand people!
However, Guo Jia was different, after hearing Cao Cao's words, he shook his head again and again, and said with a displeased face: "Brother Meng De, after Jia arrives in Xuzhou, I have to create an intelligence department for you that belongs to you, how can you have the kung fu to be the master of Laoshizi?!" β
When Cao Cao heard this, he was stunned for a moment, and then he smiled bitterly.
Ordinary people can't wait to sharpen their heads and drill into the back road of high-ranking officials.
But Guo Jia gave up the position of the chief bookkeeper just because he hated the trouble, which really made people not know what to say.
However, Cao Cao also knew that this was all Li Zhi's pot!
Because in the past, even if Guo Jia didn't hold any position, he still had huge power!
Because, Guo Jia is Li Zhi's brother-in-law, and everyone under Li Zhi's command will give Guo Jia a few faces.
Even if Guo Jia is just a white body, he can still command the Wenchen generals under Li Zhi.
In this way, Guo Jia does not attach importance to his official position.
Although Cao Cao also knew the reason why Guo Jia did not value his official position.
However, he didn't bother to continue to persuade him, he wanted Guo Jia to understand this truth himself.
Cao Cao and Li Zhi are different.
Although Li Zhi has a huge amount of power, because he does not intend to dominate the world, he is very loose in his control of his forces, and the difference in official positions is not so obvious.
Cao Cao, on the other hand, intends to dominate the world, so he must make his subordinates clearly distinguished, and there is a huge difference between the upper and lower levels.
Because only in this way can people be self-motivated and rush to make meritorious contributions!
Therefore, Cao Cao felt that after Guo Jia joined his command, he would definitely know the importance of official positions.
When the time comes, there is no need for him to say it, Guo Jia will also ask him for an official position.
Just as the two of them were talking, a group of people came in the distance, who were none other than the military generals under Cao Cao.
Among these people, Wenchen took Xi Zhicai as the leader, and the other Wenchen all followed behind Xi Zhicai, bowing their heads and walking this way.
This is not because of the prestige of Xi Zhicai, but because Cao Cao will not have any decent ministers at all.
In addition to Xi Zhicai, the ministers under Cao Cao are all protΓ©gΓ©s of the Cao family.
But the Cao family is a family of eunuchs, and there are very few talented people who take refuge in the Cao family.
Therefore, these people are just talents from a county.
It's okay to be a county commander, but if they are asked to govern a county, I'm afraid they will be in a hurry and don't know where to start.
Therefore, now the Wenchen under Cao Cao can only be headed by Xi Zhicai, who has not been under Cao Cao for a long time.
Fortunately, there is no territory under Cao Cao now, and there are not too many things, so Xi Zhi can still deal with it calmly.
However, after Cao Cao took control of Xuzhou, he would definitely not be able to handle so many official duties alone!
Because when the time comes, Xi Zhicai will not only have to deal with Xuzhou's official affairs, but also compete for power and profit with the local forces in Xuzhou.
If there are not a few talented people to help, I am afraid that Xi Zhicai will be dwarfed.
However, the generals under Cao Cao were mainly Lu Bu.
Although Lu Bu first joined Cao Cao's command, his martial arts were outstanding, and after joining Cao Cao's command, he fought a big battle with everyone under Cao Cao's command.
One side of this battle was Lu Bu, and the other side was the two brothers of Xiahou and the brothers of the Cao family.
The battle ended with Lu Bu winning.
Therefore, the generals under Cao Cao's command were all convinced by Lu Bu.
In this way, Lu Bu became the number one general under Cao Cao.
And because of this, Lu Bu was even more satisfied with Cao Cao, and he felt that it was a wise move to come to Cao Cao!
Although when he was under Dong Zhuo, Lu Bu was also the number one general under Dong Zhuo.
But Lu Bu knew that the other generals under Dong Zhuo did not obey him, so he, the number one general, was only in name only.
Under Cao Cao, it was different, after Cao Cao saw that Lu Bu had defeated all the generals under his command, he immediately handed over all the five thousand horsemen in his hand to Lu Bu.
Coupled with the 1,000 cavalry that Lu Bu got back from Dong Zhuo and Zhang Liao and others, Lu Bu now has more than 6,000 cavalry under his command!
And the ratio of cavalry to infantry battle losses is often five to one, that is to say, the 6,000 cavalry under Lu Bu is equivalent to 30,000 infantry!
This is almost equivalent to half of Cao Cao's combat power, which shows Cao Cao's fancy for Lu Bu!
