Chapter 237: Xi Zhicai went to the front line
As a result, now, Bao Xin is dead, and Cao Ying is like a turtle with a shrunken head, and he doesn't dare to fight anymore. Then the best result is nothing more than Cao Ying holding Shouzhang and stopping the expansion of the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army. This is still 108,000 miles away from driving the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army out of Yanzhou!
And the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army is now standing next to it, what is the Yellow Turban Army? That's the Yellow Turban Thief! The so-called side of the couch is not allowed to allow others to snore, let alone sleep next to it is directly a thief, who may come to rob himself at any time, or even kill himself! Therefore, even if Cao Ying can resist the attack of the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army, as long as Cao Ying fails to completely drive the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army out of Yanzhou, Yanzhou will not be able to sleep peacefully, and they will continue to blame Cao Ying.
Cao Yingchu was in charge of Yanzhou, and his prestige and credibility were not enough, which was also one of the reasons why Cao Ying's previous surprise soldiers wanted to have a big victory. However, after Bao Xin's death, Cao Ying suddenly understood something. That is, "not winning" is definitely much better than "losing"!
Cao Ying has always been defending against the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army in Shouzhang, so no matter how much he is a shrinking turtle, no matter how much condemnation he has been subjected to, and how much pressure he has suffered, it is absolutely impossible for the whole of Yanzhou to do anything to Cao Ying. Because it's a big deal that Cao Ying patted his ass and quit, he directly led the troops back to Dongjun, then there will be a large area in Yanzhou that will be plundered by the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army.
Therefore, as long as Cao Ying guards Shouzhang, then he will keep the psychological bottom line of Yanzhou. If he rashly sent troops and lost again, Cao Ying might really not be able to stay.
Cao Ying thinks, why did Bao Xin die? That's because Cao Ying was blinded by false fame, and he wanted to win a good reputation in the eyes of Yanzhou as soon as he came. This kind of mistake should have been made by Yuan Shao, but now it was also made by him Cao Ying. No matter how others scold, take the most advantageous choice, this should be his Cao Ying's style!
For example, the so-called strategic retreat, or even a strategy to deliberately defeat and choose to lure the enemy into depth, will always be regarded as incompetent, useless, disgraced, and a nest by some or even a large part of the people on the own side in the process of implementation. Should we also abandon what should have been the best option because of what these people think?
Those who can really succeed must be able to withstand public opinion and pressure. And after Cao Ying's act of recruiting the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army, he will inevitably bear greater public condemnation and greater internal pressure, but in order to maximize his interests, Cao Ying can only grit his teeth and get through!
"Zhicai?! Why did you get here? Don't you know that your body is not suitable for such a long journey, if you have anything to say, just ask someone to bring a message! The arrival of this drama Zhicai definitely caught Cao Ying off guard.
Although it is not clear why Xi Zhicai came, needless to say, Cao Ying can also guess that it must be for his great cause! Xi Zhicai was able to do things like this, which made Cao Ying moved and distressed.
Beauty needs to hurt, and talent also needs to hurt. Maybe Cao Ying's choice between talents and beauties may not be clear, but that is also because beauties and talents are divided into different types and different levels. Cao Ying may give up a small talent because of a big beauty, but if the beauty and talent belong to the same level, then Cao Ying should give up the beauty and take the talent!
is also for this reason, after Guo Jia arrived in Cao Ying, Cao Ying did not mention Diao Chan even once. Nonsense, Cao Ying is not a fool, if he really messes around, there will be a few people who dare to defect to him in the future. Therefore, what Cao Ying is looking for is usually some widows, who are the "spoils" after defeating and killing the enemy.
For example, during the Battle of Chibi, if Cao Ying wanted to recruit Zhou Yu, then he would never fight Xiao Qiao's idea; As for Da Qiao's words, it's a bit hard to say. Cao Ying, a person, loves to play these side balls.
When he returned to the scene, Xi Zhicai said, "Ahem, lord, because the stakes are so high, I have to come over and talk about it in detail." ”
"Oh?" Cao Ying's heart moved, judging from Xi Zhicai's footsteps, it shouldn't be that something happened to the base camp, "Is it about the Qingzhou Yellow Turban?" ”
"Absolutely, ahem." Xi Zhicai nodded and said directly, "Lord, it may be a little surprising, but I still have to say that the best way for us to do it now should be to recruit the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army!" ”
"Haha!" Listening to Xi Zhicai's words, Cao Ying was happy.
Xi Zhicai misunderstood Cao Ying's reaction, and suddenly his face straightened, and he shouted seriously, "Lord! I'm not kidding! Ahem! ”
"I know, I know, Zhicai, don't get excited, you take a look at this first." Cao Ying hurriedly handed a roll of bamboo slips on the table to Xi Zhicai.
Xi Zhicai picked up the bamboo slip with a little puzzlement and looked at it, and his pupils suddenly shrank, because there were a few big words written on it - Recruit Qingzhou Yellow Turban! Someone actually wanted to go with him?! Xi Zhicai hurriedly looked at the payment, and couldn't help but shout, "Guo Fengxiao?!" ”
"That's right, Feng Xiao sent this letter quickly, Zhicai, you are relatively slow, so it happened to be two days earlier than you." Cao Ying explained with a smile that he knew that with the relationship between Guo Jia and Xi Zhicai, there would definitely be no communication, especially if Xi Zhicai knew about Guo Jia's letter in advance, with his arrogance, Xi Zhicai would definitely not come over. Therefore, Guo Jia and Xi Zhicai can only be said to have thought of going together this time.
And Cao Ying also deliberately emphasized that Guo Jia was quick and quick, and Xi Zhicai was slower, which meant that they came up with it in no particular order, lest these two guys quarrel over this trivial matter.
"Zhicai, look at it, in fact, you and Fengxiao not only have similar surnames, but also have similar ideas, as long as you get along well, you should be able to become friends." Cao Ying took the opportunity to ease the relationship between Guo Jia and Xi Zhicai, but Cao Ying obviously did useless work, "Lord, let's get down to business!" Ahem! Xi Zhicai said with a calm face.
Cao Ying knew that he couldn't force it, so he could only skip this topic and said, "Zhicai, you also came just in time, Fengxiao only wrote these few words, what should I do, I still have to ask Zhicai to help answer one or two." ”
Of course, this is Cao Ying's kind words, in fact, Guo Jia's actions, can he still hide Cao Ying and Xi Zhicai? Even if Cao Ying really didn't think of it for a while, there was still Xun Yu on the front line! In the eyes of Cao Ying and Xi Zhicai, Guo Jia is simply a bitch and a memorial arch!
Is Guo Jia the kind of guy who only knows a sentence of "recruitment", but doesn't want to be specific, unrealistic, and talks on paper? Definitely not! The reason why he didn't say it was obviously because this specific method was not easy to elaborate, Guo Jia didn't want to be condemned for this kind of thing, and he didn't want to offend some people, so he simply wrote a wordless book from heaven. I remember that there seemed to be a book called "What Do Men Think About Besides Their Surnames", but the more than 200 pages were all blank......
