Chapter 316: Cao Cao's Choice

Seeing Xu Gong like this, Sun Ce was already sure in his heart, so he said slowly: "Xu Taishou, I want you to continue to manage Wu County, I don't know if you are willing?" ”

What the?

Heβ€”How dare he hand over Wu Jun to himself, isn't he afraid?

Xu Gong looked at Sun Ce in disbelief with a shocked face, trying to find the answer in his eyes.

Seeing this, Sun Ce opened his mouth and said: "Xu Taishou rest assured, I, Sun Ce, don't use people who are suspicious, and I don't doubt them." ”

Hearing this, Xu Gong bowed down with emotion and said: "Gong has eyes but no beads, he insulted the lord before, please punish the lord." ”

Sun Ce hurriedly got up, helped Xu Gong up and said: "You and I were hostile before, and it was normal to be a little unhappy, Xu Taishou should not take it to heart." ”

In just a few words, Sun Ce gained Xu Gong's loyalty, and also made a good start for the rapid stabilization of Wu County.

Wu County, Huiji has become Sun Ce's bag, and most of Yangzhou has also fallen into Sun Ce's hands.

The rest of the small forces will face only two choices, either to surrender or to be reduced to ashes under Sun Ce's army.

When the news came out, everyone was shocked, and at the same time lamented that Sun Jian gave birth to a good son, and made fun of Yuan Shu for having no eyes and letting go of a tiger.

Puyang City, East County, Yanzhou, was too guarded, and Cao Cao looked at the silk cloth in his hand, and his face became more and more gloomy.

Presumably in today's pattern, Cao Cao can only be regarded as a second-rate prince, and everyone else has won consecutive battles, but he fell a big heel in Puyang, but fortunately, he finally won the city.

"Whew!" Cao Cao exhaled, handed the silk cloth to Xun Yu on the side, and said: "There is a Liu Bei from Xuzhou, and another Sun Ce from Yangzhou, and Lu Bu from Yanzhou has not been eradicated, it's really a headache, do you have a good plan?" ”

"Ahem!" Xi Zhicai coughed a few times, and said with a slight weakness: "Lord, Puyang has fallen, and Lu Bu's troubles will be eradicated in a few months." ”

"Liu Bei of Xuzhou and the battle with Yuan Shu's 100,000 army will definitely hurt his vitality, and he may be able to take one of them when the time comes."

Cao Cao nodded and said: "That's the only way for now, I don't know where my Cao Cao's opportunity is!" ”

Xun Yu had just finished reading the silk cloth in his hand, and saw that Cao Cao was a little anxious to grow, so he said: "There is one now, I don't know if the lord is willing to take it?" ”

"Oh?" Xun Yu has never done things that he is not sure of, how can this be like this today, is there a disadvantage in this matter.

Cao Cao thought for a while and asked curiously, "Wen Ruo said to listen?" ”

"Chang'an, if you get this place, the lord can add a state." Xun Yu replied, his eyes fixed on Cao Cao, trying to observe his inner thoughts.

Cao Cao's face did not change, but his heart was turbulent.

The Son of Heaven is a good choice, for the crusade against the princes, the innate occupation of people.

But Liu Xie is still young, and he is afraid that he will be bewitched and controlled by the family, so it will not be a second.

However, risks and benefits coexist, and if Liu Xie can be controlled, it can get twice the result with half the effort.

Unable to see Cao Cao's intentions, Xun Yu opened his mouth to explain: "Chang'an is now controlled by the Xiliang Army, and the people are complaining. ”

"When the time comes, the Xiliang army will survive, break its will to fight to the death, and it will be able to surrender a lot, and if it supports the Son of Heaven, it can also take the initiative in name and make profits from it."

Cao Cao put away his thoughts, nodded and said: "This method kills two birds with one stone, but it is a second meter, but you still have to consider it carefully." ”

"Right now, after this catastrophe, Yanzhou is afraid that it will not be able to feed hundreds of thousands of people in the Sili School Captain's Department."

Seeing that Cao Cao didn't accept it immediately, Xun Yu didn't say much, after all, this plan was too important, and it was normal to think carefully.

But Xun Yu believes that Cao Cao finally took the city after the defeat of Puyang before, and he will definitely choose this quick recovery method.

And the battle of Xuzhou, Cao Cao is impossible to intervene, Yuan Shu is arrogant, he will definitely not need the help of others, Liu Bei is quite scheming, as long as he is not desperate, he will definitely not ask others for help.

On the contrary, if Cao Cao forcibly intervened, I was afraid that the two would join forces to fight him, regardless of their previous suspicions.

Moreover, after this battle, Yanzhou may not be able to resist the two joining forces.

Just when Xun Yu was silent, Cao Cao suddenly said to Xi Zhicai: "Zhicai, your body is not healthy yet, it is better to go back and rest early, don't collapse your body." ”

How smart Xi Zhicai was, he naturally knew that Cao Cao wanted to avoid him, so he got up and left.

After Xi Zhicai left, Cao Cao opened his mouth and said, "Wen Ruo, there are no outsiders now, just tell me what you think." ”

Xun Yu looked at Cao Cao seriously, and slowly asked, "Dare to ask the lord, can you have a loyal heart in your heart?"

What does Xun Yu mean, don't all the families want to hold the Han family in their hands, why would he ask this.

"So what? What if you don't?" Now is the time to employ people, Cao Cao doesn't want Xun Yu to think too much, so he can only answer vaguely.

Xun Yu replied calmly: "Yes, since you should break through Chang'an and take back the Son of Heaven, with the help of Tianwei, you have calmed the current situation, no, then wait for the opportunity, and then welcome back the Son of Heaven, and coerce the Son of Heaven to order the princes." ”

Sooner or later, the Son of Heaven will be welcomed, but what is expressed is completely different.

Cao Cao rolled his small eyes and said slowly: "Wen Ruo, let's be honest with you, Chang'an is under the control of the Xiliang Army, the people's livelihood is withering, and there is no food to support if you take it." ”

Xun Yu thought for a moment and said: "Why don't the lord follow Li Huiyi's example, after the war, encourage the family to open a money village to temporarily relieve the urgent needs of the people, and then the army and the people will open up the wasteland together, or it will be restored in a few years." ”

"Hmm."

This method is good, but in this way, wouldn't the economic power be controlled by the family, I really don't understand why Li Huiyi is so bold.

Cao Cao nodded and said: "It is feasible, but if this economy falls into the hands of the family, I am afraid that it will be too big to fall and form a difficult trend to solve." ”

Indeed, if the family is bigger, but it can compete with the royal family for power, if the lord is there, it may also be able to restrict one or two, if a hundred years later, I am afraid that there will be a scene of fragmentation.

Xun Yu agreed: "But is there a good way at the moment, it can only be like this, then Li Huiyi dares to do it, why can't I?"

That's right!

It's not okay to follow Li Huiyi to learn and use it now, he is so smart, how could he not think of the result, he must have a back hand, why should he think hard about this.

Cao Cao showed a smile, and suddenly changed his tone and said: "Wen Ruo, a few days ago, the Yecheng spies sent back the news, saying that Li Huiyi had changed the military system, and the positions in the generals were divided into classes to marshals, do you have any opinions on this?"

Xun Yu said disdainfully: "Changing the system in the army without permission is a big deal, if it spreads, I'm afraid it will fall into the handle." ”

"Well, let's go get busy first." Seeing that Xun Yu didn't look down on the restructuring, Cao Cao didn't say more, and was ready to clear his thoughts alone.

Watching Xun Yu salute and leave, Cao Cao's heart fell into deep thought.

In the end, whether Xun Yu cherishes the Han family, or the Xun family cherishes the Han family, do you want to show him what you think.

That's it, let's not talk to him for the time being, and when the Son of Heaven is ushered in, I will observe for a while to see what Xun Yu means.
