Chapter Seventy-One: The Danger in the Plain

& Now there is a watch, and there will be a watch in the evening! "Good, good>

Xi Zhicai's allegiance made Cao Cao overjoyed, and hurriedly helped him up, and Cao Cao, who was happy in his heart, couldn't help but say three good words in a row, and continued: "To be able to get Mr. to help, just like Henkel has Zhang Liang, and King Wen has Ziya." โ€

Cao Cao's words, for the strategists of this era, are undoubtedly a very high degree of recognition and appreciation, which makes Xi Zhicai's heart happy, after all, he is loyal to Cao Cao, of course Xi Zhicai does not want to be valued by Cao Cao, so that his talents can not be used to the fullest.

But despite this, Xi Zhicai did not become proud all of a sudden, but was very modest and said with a look of disdain: "Lord Miaozan, Xi Zhong is ashamed and ashamed." โ€

In China's cultural heritage, modesty is undoubtedly a virtue and an attitude that makes people easily feel good, and there is no doubt that the modesty of Xi Zhicai at this time made Cao Cao have a higher impression of him in his heart.

However, although he has a good impression of Xi Zhicai in his heart, since Xi Zhicai has recognized himself as the master, it is not permissible to be inferior to the upper and lower levels, so after Cao Cao took the lead in sitting down, he pointed to the opposite position and said to Xi Zhicai: "Zhicai >."

For Cao Cao's change, Xi Zhicai was not angry or anything, but took it for granted, after all, the core of ancient Chinese society is the superiority and inferiority, if after he recognized the master, Cao Cao was still the same as before, Xi Zhicai would be really angry.

After Xi Zhicai sat down again, Cao Cao immediately asked a little impatiently: "Since you know what Liu Bei needs to be careful about, then I don't know if Zhicai has a way to solve it?" โ€

If you want to say that among the historical celebrities of the Three Kingdoms, Cao Cao is the most nervous in his heart, then it must be Liu Bei, and this kind of nervousness and attention, after the words of Xi Zhicai just now, has risen to Cheng Dรน, who is eager to kill Liu Bei immediately.

He Cao Cao is not like other traversers, obviously he can kill others in the early days, but he does deliberately let it go for something to increase the challenge or fun, so that the world that could have been quickly unified has changed because of this.

And Xi Zhicai, who heard Cao Cao's words, also fell into deep thought, to be honest, how to solve Liu Bei, Xi Zhicai did not have a foolproof way, as for the method of assassinating Liu Bei, Xi Zhicai did not even think about it.

Of course, this is not because of the second general Guan Zhang next to Liu Bei, after all, due to Cao Cao's sidekick, the martial arts of the two at this time have not been well known to the world, and the reason why Xi Zhicai gave up this method is that if Cao Cao really succeeds in assassinating Liu Bei, Cao Cao himself will not be so good.

After all, it is easy for assassins to spread all over the world after success or failure, assassinating Liu Bei, this is also a prince's person, whether he succeeds or not, Cao Cao will become a public enemy in the world.

After all, you Cao Cao can assassinate Liu Bei today, who knows if you will assassinate others in the future, under such worries, it is easy for all the princes in the world to have a common goal in their hearts, that is, to eliminate Cao Cao and eliminate this person who breaks the rules.

The simple and crude path of assassination did not work, and Xi Zhicai could only start from other places, and after thinking for a while, Xi Zhicai said out loud: "Back to the lord, if you want to eliminate Liu Bei at this time, in addition to immediately starting a war against Liu Bei, the only way left is to completely stink Liu Bei's reputation, and send people to the world, especially in the land of Yi, Jing, Yang, and Sanzhou, to publicize what Liu Bei did when he was fighting Dong, and at the same time, cut off the money and food leading to the plain as much as possible, and send an army, led by a general, to pretend to be a bandit, On the roads stationed on the plain, all the caravans heading to the plain were intercepted and suppressed Liu Bei with all their strength, so that Liu Bei would either wage war in all directions to seize money and grain, or he would defend the plain until he was destroyed! โ€

Cao Cao glanced at Xi Zhicai with some surprise, but he didn't expect that his face had always been light and light, just like the drama Zhicai of people outside the world, who really came out of his tricks, would be so vicious, the power of rumors, Cao Cao from later generations, can be said to be very clear, in later generations, I don't know that there are few people who are going to the final decline because of rumors.

And suppressing Liu Bei on money and grain, cutting off a qiฤ“ to the plain, isn't this the so-called financial war in later generations, Cao Cao didn't expect that the financial war in later generations actually appeared at this time because of his own words.

Of course, what is more ruthless is the strategy behind Xi Zhicai, sending troops to pretend to be bandits, this strategy reminds Cao Cao of the privateer order issued by the British in later generations, the two schemes are very similar in a certain way, and in the end, the privateer order completely dragged down the Spanish Empire.

If one qiฤ“ develops as Xi Zhicai said at this time, then Liu Bei's final choice is only two, the first is to fight against the water, and fight against the princes of the Quartet, such as Jizhou Mu Hanfu, Beiping Taishou Gongsun Zhan, Bohai County Taishou Yuan Shao and others to seize money and grain, and the second is to defend the plain, and in Cao Cao's view, according to Liu Bei's ambition, the possibility of choosing the first is very large.

Of course, in China, which pays attention to the famous army, Liu Bei, who sent troops for money and food, will eventually become the public enemy of the Hebei princes, and Liu Bei may die under the siege of the Hebei princes without Cao Cao's action.

And even if Liu Bei finally finds an interface to send troops, it is certain that he will plunder money and food, and no matter who Liu Bei finally plunders, it will make Liu Bei's reputation even more stinky, and at the same time, he will not get the help of the local people or families in Hebei.

Cao Cao, who had figured out these things in his mind, was also secretly awe-inspiring for Xi Zhicai's plan, this plan looked plain and bland, and there was nothing brilliant about it, but it was so bland, but it contained fatal danger, which can be described as blandness full of danger.

After secretly saying to take care of Liu Bei in his heart, Cao Cao's joy in his heart was very good, and he felt very happy that he could recruit a strategist like Xi Zhicai, as long as he thought about it, if he missed Xi Zhicai today, maybe one day he would eat this plan, and Cao Cao's joy in his heart at this time was even greater.

Since he agreed with Xi Zhicai's plan, Cao Cao thought about the candidate to operate this move in his heart, and the leading general was a good choice, mainly the candidate who operated carefully to send a message, but it was not a good choice.

The first thought in Cao Cao's heart was, of course, the drama in front of him, after all, he was the proposer of this plan, but after thinking about it, Cao Cao still gave up.
