Chapter 284: Cranes and mussels compete, and fishermen benefit
ps: Thank you for the two monthly tickets voted by the brother who is poorer than a beggar, and thank the helpless instant noodle brother for the two monthly tickets!
After reading the news from Xun Yu with a smile, Cao Cao thought for a while, put his hands behind his back, walked back and forth for a while, looked at the Cao soldier who was still kneeling on the ground and said: "After you rest for a while, with Lone's commandment, return to Youzhou to tell SΓΉ Xun Yu, the strategy he used in Youzhou, Lone agreed, let him rest assured and boldly do it, as long as it does not hurt the people of Youzhou, then other strategies that can stop Kebineng can be used, and at the same time, Lone's army is about to return to Youzhou in the near future, let him hold on for a while." β
"Yes!"
After Sergeant Cao respectfully clenched his fists and stepped back, Guo Jia's eyes on the side flashed a look of relief, and after pondering for a moment, a smile flashed on his face and stepped forward, saying: "Your Majesty, if there is Wen Ruo in Youzhou plus the 20,000 horses brought by General Zilong, it seems that it is enough to block Kebineng so that it will not threaten the hinterland of the Central Plains, so that some of the actions of our army can also be changed in the eyes of the ministers." β
"Oh, what is Bonghyo's plan?"
"Your Majesty, according to the plan of the monarch in the past, to attack the grassland, what our army needs is a tribe ruled by our army, and this tribe already has it, that is, Wuhuan, but although Wuhuan is under the rule of our army because of the great reduction in strength, but in the same way, with the strength of Wuhuan, if there is no help from our army, there is no way to occupy a place on the grassland, therefore, the minister thought of this strategy, the so-called cranes and mussels compete for fishermen and profits."
"Cranes and mussels compete for fishermen's profits"
Cao Cao finally recited this sentence, his eyes gradually lit up, and he looked at Guo Jia with a hint of understanding: "Fengxiao, don't you want to?" β
Guo Jia nodded with a smile, and said with a hint of confidence: "That's right, what the minister thinks is to pass guΓ² Zhongda and induce Budugen to increase the number of people attacking Kebineng, and at the same time, our army will return to Youzhou, when Budugen and Kebineng are almost competing." Our army attacked, flanked it on both sides, and defeated it, until then. Whether it is Kebineng or Budugen, it will definitely hurt its vitality, and the Wuhuan clan is enough to seize the territory of one of them, so that it is the first step of the king's grassland strategy. It can also be declared a success. β
"Well, Fengxiao's plan is very good, but why don't you take the opportunity to kill Kebi Neng, but just defeat him?"
Guo Jia's strategy is indeed good, but Cao Cao is also very puzzled, since there is such a good opportunity, why not take the opportunity to kill Kebineng, as long as Kebineng dies, then it belongs to Kebineng's territory. Isn't it all your own?
I don't know if I saw the meaning of Cao Cao's question, Guo Jia smiled with a hint of helplessness: "Your Majesty, even if you take the opportunity to kill Kebineng and seize its grassland pasture, Budugen will definitely not watch Wuhuan seize Kebineng's territory under the leadership of our army, on the contrary, if Kebi can survive, compared to the hatred of our army, Kebineng will inevitably hate Budugen even more." Regard it as the first target of killing, and under this, even if both sides want to drive the Wuhuan ruled by our army out of the grassland, but only between the two sides. If one of them does not destroy the other, it will certainly not dare to act rashly, and in this way, it will give our army enough time to accumulate strength and gradually encroach on the steppe. β
Well, understood, Cao Cao suddenly realized. Let Kebi survive, that is, to set a target and attract hatred, pull hatred, so it seems that indeed, compared to killing Kebi Neng, causing the eastern Xianbei and Budugen to be dominant, it is better to let him live, under the control of the two parties, unwilling to have any reckless moves.
However, Cao Cao's face became a little strange, if Guo Jia's strategy was really successful, then on the grassland, wouldn't a nomadic version of the "Three Kingdoms" be staged?
Of course, the change in Cao Cao's face was only for a moment, after all, compared with the grassland version of the "Three Kingdoms", Cao Cao supported or ruled Wuhuan and attacked the grassland, and its nature was not much different from that of the later European colonizers, all of them were natives killing natives, of course, Cao Cao did not have any disgust towards becoming an evil "colonist".
"Your Majesty, if this plan wants to succeed, the most important thing is time, whether it is before reaching the big tent of Dabu Dugen, or holding back Kebineng and not leading the army back to the grassland so quickly, time is the most important, therefore, there is another strategy." Guo Jia, who didn't know that Cao Cao's face had changed in an instant, stepped forward to Cao Cao's ear, and said the strategies planned in his heart one by one, listening to Cao Cao, nodding and laughing from time to time.
"Okay, according to Fengxiao's plan, Lone immediately sent a fast horse to catch up with Zhongda and them, and told them Fengxiao's strategy!" After listening to Guo Jia's words, Cao Cao dispatched a fast horse without saying a word, caught up with Sima Yi and them, who were heading towards the area ruled by Budugen, and conveyed the latest order.
Cao Cao, who had finished doing this, suddenly thought of something, and said to the Cao soldiers who were guarding on the side: "Immediately spread the word that Agran and Howles came to see Gu!" β
"Yes!"
After Sergeant Cao was ordered to retreat, Cao Cao sat down on the stone bench again, and at the same time let Guo Jia sit down on the side, looked at Guo Jia and said, "Fengxiao, what do you think of Agran and Hals?" β
"Returning to the king, the minister's opinion on the two people, as the same king once said, is more like livestock than people, how people train livestock to make them obedient, then the king can refer to it."
Guo Jia smiled slightly, looking light, Agran and Hals, will never be in Guo Jia's heart, the so-called real villain, just like them, the same, it is often easier to deal with his real villain.
Listening to Guo Jia's views on the two, Cao Cao nodded, pondering how to rule the two well, after a while, the figure of the armor rubbing came, and I saw the two people who had changed into the armor of the Han generals came to Cao Cao, knelt down on one knee, and said with a hint of flattery: "The last general has seen Wei Gong, long live Wei Gong!" β
"Haha, the two generals are here, get up quickly, I've been waiting for you for a long time." As early as when the two of them came in, Cao Cao, who had restrained his expression, helped the two of them up with a smile on his face with a look of value.
"Lao Jun has been waiting for a long time, but it is really a mistake to wait for the last general, a capital crime and a capital crime!"
"Alas, two generals, what's wrong, get up, and besides, didn't Lone say it, you should call yourself a minister when you see Lone in the future!" Looking at Cao Cao's face with a hint of dissatisfaction, the two of them were stunned, and after thinking about it in their minds, they still couldn't remember when Cao Cao said this, which made the faces of the two full of entanglement and distress and some panic.
