Chapter 58: An Introduction Is Missing
Cao Cao questioned.
Cao Shuo lowered his head and said, "Back to my father, I came back this time and brought someone with me." ”
"Who?"
"The one who assassinated Hu Che'er!" Cao Shuo said: "As long as she is willing to show up, Hu Che'er can't be fooled!" ”
Cao Cao stroked his beard and thought for a moment, and said to Cao Shuo: "This matter is very important, we have to discuss with Gongda before making a decision!" ”
He shouted outside the house, "Ask Gongda to come and discuss the matter." ”
Outside the door, the guards answered.
"This time I went to Wancheng, I know a little bit about Hu Che'er and Zhang Xiu." Cao Shuo said: "I have secretly contacted Jia Xu, and he promised to find an opportunity to persuade Zhang Xiu to defect to his father in the future. ”
Cao Cao was stunned: "You contacted Jia Xu?" ”
"Yes!" Cao Shuo said: "It's a coincidence, but at present, Zhang Xiu has taken the lead, and it is not the time to persuade him." ”
"It's just nonsense! What did you do when you went to Wancheng this time? Cao Cao's tone was stern, but his eyes were soft, which showed that he was still very satisfied with Cao Shuo's approach.
"Zhang Xiu trusts Jia Xu, but he obeys everything he says." Cao Shuo said: "In this battle, it is impossible for the two armies to fight to the death. As long as Hu Che'er is killed, the vanguard will be frustrated, and Zhang Xiu will definitely withdraw the army! ”
"You're going to use the Assassin to lure Huche into an ambush?" Cao Cao asked.
Cao Shuo said: "Hu Che'er is infinitely powerful, but he is a reckless man. If he hadn't killed the guard, it didn't matter if he killed him or not. Jia Xu has reached a tacit agreement with me and killed Hu Che'er, he must say a few words from it that it is not suitable to besiege the city for a long time, and Zhang Xiu's withdrawal is only a matter of time! ”
"In your opinion, do you want to accept Zhang Xiu in the future?" Cao Cao said: "Don't forget, your brother died in Wancheng!" ”
"My brother fought bloodily, and he also wanted to see his father achieve great things." Cao Shuo said: "Whether to kill Zhang Xiu or not, it's still too early to say." In the future, if the surrounding area is calm, my father will break the Yuan family in Hebei again, how difficult can it be to kill a Zhang Xiu? ”
Cao Shuo mentioned the Yuan family in Hebei, and Cao Cao looked at him from head to toe.
The Yuan family and the Cao family have not yet made a feud.
Yuan Shao was busy fighting with Gongsun Zhan for Hebei, while Cao Cao was busy pacifying Yanzhou, Yuzhou, and Qingzhou.
If the focus of contradictions between the two sides is not condensed in the same place, war is unlikely to break out.
But Cao Cao knew very well that he and Yuan Shao both wanted to become big in the Central Plains.
War, sooner or later, will break out between two powerful blocs!
"Yuan Shao and Gongsun Chan are fighting lively, how do you know that Gongsun Chan is not his opponent?" Cao Cao asked.
"Gongsun Chan doesn't know how to use people." Cao Shuo said: "He doesn't have many available talents under him. Under Yuan Shao's account, there are wise and strategic people such as Tian Feng, Frustration, Trial, and Fengji. There are also Hebei Siting Zhu Yan Liang, Wen Chou, Zhang He, Gao Lan, Han Meng and others. Although the current situation is evenly matched, Yuan Shao will break Gongsun Chan in the long run! ”
Cao Shuo's analysis surprised Cao Cao secretly.
He also analyzed the Hebei battle situation, but did not determine who would win in the end.
But Cao Shuo's judgment was reasonable, so he had to believe it.
"The world is the world of talents!" Cao Shuo said: "Since Chen Liu's recruitment, the Cao family has gradually grown and even welcomed the current emperor to Xudu, it is precisely because of my father's broad-mindedness that heroes from all walks of life are willing to return!" ”
Cao Cao stroked his beard and nodded: "You have been sick all year round, how do you know so many major events in the world?" ”
"Even though he was sick, the child often asked the guards about things outside." Cao Shuo said: "As the son of the Cao family, I can't share my father's worries, I'm really ashamed!" ”
"Good! Good! Patting his arm, Cao Cao said: "With a son like you, I have no regrets in my father's life!" ”
"Father's words are serious!" Cao Shuo said.
The father and son were talking, and the voice of the guard came from outside: "Qi Cao Gong, Xun Gong is here." ”
"Please!" Cao Cao said.
The door opened, and Xun Yu entered the house.
After meeting Cao Cao's father and son, Xun You said: "I've seen Cao Gong, I've seen the second son!" ”
"Gongda is exempt!" Cao Cao said: "Please come here for important matters to discuss. ”
"Please make it clear to Gong Cao!"
"Shuo'er plans to booby trap Hu Che'er." Cao Cao said, "What do you think? ”
Xun You said: "Hu Che'er is Zhang Xiu's vanguard, and killing him will definitely greatly reduce the enemy's morale." The second son's proposal is feasible, but he doesn't know how to trap him? ”
"Shuo'er, tell Gongda again what you just told me." Cao Cao said.
Cao Shuo repeated what he said to Cao Cao, and Xun Yu stroked his chin and nodded silently.
After Cao Shuo finished speaking, Xun You said: "The second son's strategy is feasible, but there is still something missing. ”
"Please advise Xun Gong." Cao Shuo clenched his fists and said.
"Missing an introduction." Xun You said: "The assassin is the root of angering Hu Che'er, as for the lead to lure him to chase, the second son didn't take it into account. ”
"Gongda might as well teach him." Cao Cao said.
"Zhang Xiu led the troops to Wuyin, intending to break our army, how could Hu Che'er, as a pioneer, not know the severity?" Xun You said: "Just the presence of the assassin is not enough to lure him into being fooled. ”
Cao Cao said to Cao Shuo: "In the future, if you use a plan, you must ask Gongda for advice." ”
"Remember, child." Cao Shuo responded.
"I think that if you are fooled by Hu Che, you have to go to the second son." Xun You said: "The second prince went to Wancheng to steal the corpse, and rescued the assassin who assassinated Hu Che'er, which has made Zhang Xiu and others lose face. Show up and tease a few words, how can Hu Che'er not be fooled? ”
Cao Cao said: "Shuo'er is young and ignorant, so I am afraid that I will not be able to see the situation clearly and delay the big thing. ”
"Twice left Wancheng and brought back the bodies of the eldest son and the Diansu guard, the most commendable thing is that he brought no fewer people! From this, it is enough to be competent. Xun You said: "I think there is no more suitable person except for the second son!" ”
"How can he seduce Hu Che'er?" Cao Cao asked.
"Please ask the second prince to bring the soldiers and horses of his headquarters to fight, and provoke them with words when they fight." Xun You said: "Tell me how to steal the corpse and how to cooperate with the assassin to assassinate him. Once he provokes Hu Che'er, he will definitely chase after him. Then let the Assassin show up and lure him into an ambush, and it will be easy to kill him! ”
"Where are the Assassins?" Cao Cao asked.
"When you enter the city, you are next to the child." Cao Shuo said: "Because of his humble status, he didn't recommend him to his father. ”
"The assassin doesn't need Cao Gong to see him in person, I'm willing to do it for me!" Xun You arched his hand and said.
"It's good!" Cao Cao said: "Gongda will meet me for me, there is indeed no problem, and then draw up a plan to trap and kill Hu Che'er, we must ensure that nothing goes wrong!" ”
"Don't worry, Cao Gong!" Xun Yu responded.
"You two go down, Dian Wei and Ang'er's corpses are back in Wuyin, I don't feel very comfortable, I want to be alone!" Cao Cao said.
Cao Shuo and Xun Yu both bowed and retreated.
