Chapter 701: Sun Ce dies

In short, Liu Bei is secretly saying that he is out of shape in his heart, and at the same time, he is secretly scolding Yuan Shao for cheating his teammates. There is no way, Liu Bei is not a saint, and he is not too old, not only is there no son to take over, but the key problem is that even if he has a son, there is no class for people to take over! I've failed for most of my life, and I've seen it happen several times, especially this time, and the overall situation is even better. Originally, Liu Bei thought that it would not be long before he would be promoted and raised, become the general manager, become the CEO, marry Bai Fumei, and reach the peak of his life. It's a little exciting to think about. But Liu Bei never expected that this was just the beginning, and he was pitted by Yuan Shao, he lost before, and there were two good brothers by his side, but now, he lost so much that he didn't even have a pair of underwear left, do you say that he Liu Bei will have no resentment, will he not scold Yuan Shao in his heart? !

People, they always habitually love to put the responsibility on others, Yuan Shao is like this, and Liu Bei is actually the same, but compared to Yuan Shao, Liu Bei is more black-bellied and doesn't show it. At this point, Cao Cao, who has always taken the initiative to take responsibility for himself, is definitely more than a little bit smarter than the two, which is also one of Cao Cao's classic means to win over his subordinates. It's just that there are pros and cons to everything, and now, Cao Cao finally vaguely feels the disadvantages of this kind of thing.

That's right, always taking the responsibility on yourself and not letting your subordinates bear the pressure, which may indeed move your subordinates, but this is only for those core direct subordinates. What about the middle and lower class officials, and the common people? They definitely won't be moved in any way because of Cao Cao's actions, right? They don't think about Cao Cao's purpose in doing this kind of thing at all, right? Well, plus the opacity of the information, so. For most ordinary people, they really simply think: This time it is Cao Cao's fault. That time was also Cao Cao's fault.

Perhaps, Cao Cao's overall success was enough to cover up these small mistakes in the process. Besides, people are not sages, who can do nothing, these small mistakes made by Cao Cao are not harmful at all in many cases, and they have not affected his success at all, compared to Cao Cao's advantages, these shortcomings are nothing at all. On the contrary, because of these things, it is in the eyes of the common people. Cao Cao is more vivid, more delicate, more flesh and blood, a real and real person, and does not seem so illusory, distant, and untouchable......

Come on! This is not whether the novel story is good or not, it needs to be vivid. Do you need the characters to be delicate, and you need the characters to be flesh and blood?! As a superior person, especially a superior person in a feudal society, all you need is to constantly improve yourself. Constantly mythologizing oneself, constantly putting oneself at the highest point of morality, constantly detaching oneself from the world! Because that's the only way. Those "stupid" people will fear you from the bottom of their hearts. Look up to you and dare not disobey you!

So. When the emperor wants to call himself the "Son of Heaven", he is the son of God, this position is given to me by God, but it is not something that you ordinary people can grab if you want to, or farm at home in An'an, don't fantasize about some unrealistic things.

Moreover, not to mention the deification like the emperor, some beautification and extremism are also quite necessary. It's like two generals with exactly the same ability, one has never had a defeat in his life, and the other has failed, then, these two fight, under normal circumstances, it is the person who has zero defeat and continues to have zero defeat! If nothing else, the fact that he was undefeated in his life was enough to deter the enemy, and it was enough to give absolute confidence to his soldiers. In war, morale is the key, and how can you not win under the advantages of one and the other!

Because of these reasons, now in this Cao camp, Cao Cao, as the lord, is an ordinary person with flesh and blood, who often struggles on the death line, and his life has been saved several times; As for Guo Jia, who is a subordinate, he has embarked on the development of extreme legend without defeat in his life step by step.

Of course, this is also one of the reasons why Guo Jiagong is now the main shock. However, that's just a matter of success. The fuse that really led to the contradiction becoming more acute suddenly erupted without warning.

Jiangdong Xiaobawang Sun Ce, the most powerful rising star of the day, was attacked by assassins, and finally died of serious injuries!

So, this also means that Guo Jia's "prophecy" has come true!

Sun Ce's death caused a sensation to the whole world, which is not small. The princes of the world, whether it was Cao Cao, Yuan Shao, or Liu Biao, all suddenly turned their attention to Jiangdong. Of course, Yuan Shao couldn't beat Jiangdong's idea for a while, and the most direct related people were Liu Biao and Cao Cao. It's a pity that it is also embarrassing that Liu Biao's side, because of Cao Cao's provocation, is still fighting with Jingnan's side, and Cao Cao has gathered all his troops in the north to fight Yuan Shao. For a while, no one seemed to be able to manage Jiangdong's affairs.

However, if you really have the courage and really want to fight, it is still worth gambling at this time! As soon as Sun Ce died, the dragons in the Jiangdong region would be leaderless, and they would inevitably be in chaos. Once you send troops to attack, there will definitely be people who will turn against you, and then, this is like a snowball, as long as the operation is done properly, you don't need to send many troops at the beginning, you can take down the entire Jiangdong!

This is also the strategic advice put forward by Guangling Taishou Chen Deng, who wrote to Cao Cao immediately after Sun Ce's death. Once the situation in Jiangdong is stabilized again, there will be no such God-given opportunity. In the future, if you want to fight Jiangdong again, it is estimated that the manpower, material and financial resources consumed will be more than ten times that of the current Jiangdong fight, I believe that with Cao Cao's shrewdness and Cao Cao's military vision, you will not even see this!

It's a pity that in the end, Cao Cao still refused Chen Deng's proposal on the grounds that he had to deal with Yuan Shao with all his strength now, and it was not appropriate to start a war with others, and it was a blessing that Sun Ce would not be harassed.

Perhaps, Cao Cao's reason is reasonable, but at this time, smart people know that it is just Cao Cao's superficial excuse. Since Cao Cao was able to fight Liu Bei before, why is he unwilling to fight Jiangdong now? Compared with Liu Bei before, Jiangdong is definitely much easier to fight now. Just like Chen Deng said, he doesn't need too many troops at all, not even any generals, just Cao Cao needs to nod, and he Chen Deng can slowly swallow Jiangdong little by little with the power of a county!

Cao Cao has never been a person without courage, if Cao Cao really wants to fight, what about fighting on both sides? Cao Cao will not fail to see such a God-given opportunity! Therefore, the above is just Cao Cao's excuse, an excuse made by Cao Cao for not wanting to fight, and the real reason is naturally Guo Jia.

Even if Sun Ce is dead now, Cao Cao still can't be sure whether Guo Jia has anything to do with Jiangdong, especially Guangling Taishou Chen Deng is Guo Jia's person, if he really agrees with Chen Deng to fight Jiangdong, when this Jiangdong is defeated, will it be surnamed Cao or Guo?
