Going to Jingzhou at this time? Liu Biao, shepherd of Jingzhou, died in the hands of Huang She, and now Liu Biao's son was acting as a puppet on the surface. Huang She sent troops to Yizhou again, and Jingzhou was about to hand over to Liu Bei.
And Liu Bei was let go by Liu Wei in Yangzhou, because when Liu Bei entered Yuzhou, it didn't seem like someone was blocking him.
Alive, Liu Zong, Huang She, Liu Bei, Liu Mang.
One link after another made the three of Cao Cao's study think hard.
"The mantis catches the cicada and the oriole is behind!" Cheng Yu said, this Yangzhou Liu Mang couldn't be so simple, the actions of the Yangtze River Navy camp must be for Jingzhou, it can't be pulled out for a while.
Huang She used Liu Zong as a puppet, and Liu Beihe occupied Yizhou where Nestlé wanted to take Huang She. In the end, they might all become Liu Mang's dowry.
If it is really such a calculation, then this Yangzhou Liu Mang is really terrible.
"But with Yangzhou's strength, if you really want to win Jingzhou, there's no need for such calculations?" Cheng Yu over there couldn't understand. He failed to win Yangzhou. Now that Liu Biao is dead, Huang She suppressed the cost of repairs. It should be when Jingzhou is recuperating. Huang She's prestige has not yet reached the point where Jingzhou is united.
At that time, it should be the most convenient time for Yangzhou to attack, instead of delaying for a long time, allowing Liu Bei to enter Jingzhou.
Isn't it superfluous to take off your pants and fart!
"I'm afraid all of this belongs to the Cai family!" Xun You began to speak.
"The Cai family?" Both Cheng Yu and Cao Cao were taken aback.
The Cai family had contacted Xu Du when Liu Biao was still alive. At that time, the Cai family was flattering Cao Cao. Cao Cao is also very polite. Because he knew he wanted to take Jingzhou. This Cai Mao's Cai family must be a breakthrough point.
Cao Cao governed the world mainly by relying on the gentry, unless it was her who Cao Cao had to get rid of, other gentry, Cao Cao only eliminated the head of the evil, and the rest of the gentry remained in general.
So Cao Cao won the hearts of most of the gentry in the world. Rely on the gentry to govern the world.
The Cai family also had the same idea. No matter who governed Jingzhou, it was always the gentry who wanted to help. He, Cai Mao, started to stand in line early, hoping to wait for Cao Cao to take Jingzhou without affecting their Cai family's status.
But after that, the Cai family seemed to have lost contact with Cao Cao.
"My lord, this Yangzhou Liu Mang seems to have such a special hobby!" Xun You said half-expressively.
"Special hobbies?" Cao Cao was puzzled. What special hobbies does this Yangzhou Liu Mang have
"That Cai Mao's younger sister, Mrs. Cai, gave birth to a son for Liu Mang in Yangzhou!" Xun You's children's shoes satisfied the desires of Cao Cao and Cheng Yu who were looking for the bottom line.
"Cai Mao's younger sister? Cai Hao has two younger sisters?" Cao Cao asked, because he knew that one of Cai Hao's younger sisters was Liu Biao's wife. He heard that one of Cai Hao's younger sisters was Liu Biao's wife. In the letter, admiration for Mrs. Cai was inevitably added. It's a pity to hear that Liu Biao killed Mrs. Cai.
"There is only one!" Xun You shook his head and said.
"So!" Cheng Yu and Cao Cao thought of something.
"After Liu Biao discovered the matter between Mrs. Cai and that Yangzhou Liu Mang that day, Liu Biao did not kill Mrs. Cai, and Mrs. Cai was also pregnant. It was useless to kill the child, and finally gave birth.
Mrs. Cai, Liu Biao's wife! Other people's wives!
Cheng Yu finally knew why Xun You wanted to beat around the bush and say that Liu Mang from Yangzhou has a unique hobby, because isn't that what their lord Cao Cao also likes.
Every time Cao Cao goes to a city and defeats an enemy, you will find that the enemy's wife and concubine will definitely appear under Cao Cao's bed the next morning.
Cao Cao's most serious incident was Zhang Xiu in Wancheng. In that battle, Cao Cao lost his composure, and the pimp Cao Anmin. The final result was that Cao Cao's real defeat, the defeat of his army, his own The eldest son died in battle, and his most trusted general Dian Wei also died in battle.
All this is because of his special hobby of Cao Cao.
It is precisely because of this that Xun You said cautiously, in order not to offend Cao Cao over there. Cao Cao's hobby almost cost him his life. His son died, and his eldest wife still doesn't pay attention to him.
But what he didn't expect was that this Cao Cao was not ashamed, but proud, and Cao Cao laughed.
"This Liu Mang, Liu Hanyang is also a wonderful person!"
The lord himself doesn't care anymore, and the two people beside him are naturally relieved.
Cao Cao laughed, he has found his own kind, like-minded, and now Cao Cao appreciates Liu Mang as an enemy over there more and more.
"It's probably because of Mrs. Cai that Liu Mang, the King of Han, didn't attack Jingzhou directly!" Xun You guessed, this person is worthy of Wang Zuozhi's talent. It's seven or eight.
"Madam Cai not only left heirs for Liu Mang, king of the Han Dynasty, but also Liu Biao, the current Jingzhou shepherd Liu Zong! Maybe it is because this state shepherd is Liu Zong, who has Mrs. Cai's kindness, that's why he can't do it. Bar!"
"The kindness of a woman!" Cao Cao shook his head and said to Cheng Yuxunyou over there.
Cheng Yu didn't take it seriously, Cao Cao just now was because Guo Jia and Guo Fengxiao wanted to give up such an opportunity.
"If Liu Bei seizes Huang She's territory, then I am afraid that our Highness the King of Han will have an excuse to send troops to Jingzhou!"
"This Liu Bei is not going to sit back and wait for death! With the natural danger of the Yangtze River, it will not be possible for the Yangzhou army to enter Jingzhou in a short while! If you wait for Yiji to successfully control the soldiers and horses in Huang Sao's hands, you will be lucky. After leaving Yizhou, Liu Bei's wings will really be hardened. Cheng Yu asked suspiciously.
"Although Changtian is dangerous, don't forget that you can enter Jingzhou through Nanyang County!" Xun You explained to Cao Cao and Cheng Yu.
"Nanyang County? Is that possible? Will the Cai family and the Kuai family let Liu Mang's army go there? Isn't that to lure wolves into the house!" Cheng Yu denied, because some of Liu Mang's songs about Yangzhou's New Deal really controlled many people heart, but he also broke the hearts of many gentry.
Two of them are the most critical. One is the recruitment order. Only talent is given. Isn't this breaking the iron rice bowl of the gentry as an official? You ruined my job, will those gentry look good on you? What's more, the land was nationalized, and all the gentry people counted the land according to the head, so they were not allowed to buy or sell it, and they could only sell it to the government. This broke the roots of those landlords.
You have to know that in the small peasant economy, the gentry are the big landlords. Come on, our land has been confiscated, isn't it just a copy of the house
Those gentry who are now under the governance of Yangzhou are just forced to do so, and the situation is stronger than others.
So when Sun Ce was about to surrender to Yangzhou, Zhang Zhao chose to rebel. Unfortunately, he was unlucky and failed to kill Sun Ce.
The Cai family and the Kuai family are one of the largest families in Jingzhou. If they brought the Yangzhou army into Nanyang County, it would be difficult to please God. 'After Liu Bei is eliminated, the Cai family and the Kuai family will also be merged into Yangzhou. Even if Liu Mang is Cai Mao's brother-in-law, I believe Cai Mao will not do this easily. That is the foundation of the gentry.
"The Cai family doesn't know, but the Kuai family does have this possibility!" Xun You told the Han king Liu Mang's every move in Jingzhou. Kuai Ran and Liu Mang have brotherhood.
Liu Mang, king of the Han Dynasty, was able to escape from the heavily besieged Jingzhou, and the voice of the Kuai family was unavoidable.
"It's enough for one person to go out with the army. Why did Cai Hao and Kuai Yue marry to join in the fun!" Cao Cao now understood.
The real winner is our Highness the King of Han.
Use Liu Bei, a shit-stirring stick, to disrupt the situation and pave the way for his entry into Jingzhou. If you are lucky, you will even bring Yizhou under your command.
"Don't think about Liu Mang! My lord, please send troops quickly, use that chess piece, and you will definitely catch Liu Mang of Yangzhou by surprise! Let him steal the chicken and lose everything!" Cheng Yu over there clasped his fists at Cao Cao.
"A chess piece?" Xun You rolled his eyes. Why didn't he know there was this chess piece? Generally speaking, Cao Cao really didn't hide anything from Xun You, but now, Xun You couldn't help but feel a little darker.
Seeing Cheng Yu's confident appearance, Xun You knew that this chess piece must be of great importance, and it might have a major impact on the next battle situation.
Xun You didn't say much, he knew enough was enough, and he also knew that he might be dragged down by Xun Yu, but Xun You's face remained as calm as ever.
"No!" Cao Cao stopped Cheng Yu over there.
"En?" Cheng Yu was taken aback for a moment.
"I don't need that chess piece for now, it's not time yet!" Cao Cao shook his head and said to Cheng Yu over there.
"My lord, are you still worried about Fengxiao's safety? There is no need for it. As long as we take Yangzhou and Shouchun, my lord, you can naturally have a drink with Fengxiao in Shouchun!" Cheng Yu stood aside Persuading Cao Cao.
Cheng Yu thought that Cao Cao was worried about Guo Jia, but in fact the main reason was not this. Cheng Yu also said before that since Guo Jia was able to give this pawn, he would definitely leave a way for his family. This prodigal son, although On weekdays, he is unrestrained, but it is still very reliable. A gentleman is not conducive to being under a dangerous wall.
It is precisely because of this that Cao Cao is still very relieved of Guo Jia.
The reason why Cao Cao didn't use that pawn was that in his opinion, Han Wang Liu Mang was much easier to deal with than Liu Bei.
Because one is a villain and the other is a hypocrite.
A villain must avenge his revenge, indeed! Emotions, anger, sorrow, and joy are all put on the face, and a hypocrite is like a poisonous snake, who smiles at you on the surface, but may be able to stab you in the back.
Now Liu Mang is this real villain, and Liu Bei over there is that hypocrite.
Cao Cao can fight against the real villain over there, and he is not willing to fight that hypocrite.
In other words, Cao Cao's dislike of Liu Bei is much deeper than that of Liu Mang.
"My lord, if you give up this opportunity, once Yangzhou Liu Mang wins Jingzhou and Yizhou, he will be able to fight against us in balance! At that time, we will be even more powerful, and it will be very difficult for me to win this world!" Cheng Yu also said. I am persuading Cao Cao not to give up such a great opportunity.
Once you give up and let the Yangzhou army take Yizhou and Jingzhou, that strength will really double. According to the background of Jingzhou and Yizhou's food and grass, it is possible for the Yangzhou army to double its army.
"Zhongde, have you ever heard a saying! Two evils are the lesser of the two! Liu Mang, a villain, can achieve his ambitions in the insignificant. Although he has a huge power, his foundation is not stable, let alone his early You have already offended the gentry in this world! Even if I, Cao Cao, do not resist, those gentry will withdraw from Zhang Cao, and Liu Cao will come out to resist our King of Han." Cao Cao saw through the essence of the matter at a glance.
Liu Mang in Yangzhou now takes the business standard, attaches great importance to businessmen and encourages the development of commerce, and makes Yangzhou think about the development of the capital economy in the small peasant economy.
The result of this is to wipe out those big landlords and turn them into big factory owners and business owners. From internal exploitation to external expansion, the former gentry only knew their own one-third of an acre. Land, don't care about the others. They only know about buying land, buying people, farming and oppressing those common people, but now it is different, their land has been confiscated and belonged to the government, and the government strongly supports them to do business.
There are merchants who buy and sell, and there are merchants who make products. If they want to make money and make a lot of money, they need cheaper raw materials and lower costs. They will naturally look for places with cheap raw materials. In Yangzhou, they dare not go too far, but it is different to the outside world.
Better markets and better dumping places, such as Jiaozhou and Jingzhou, whose products are not as good as those in Yangzhou, naturally become the dumping places for commodities.
If those local merchants cannot sell their products, they will naturally go bankrupt at a loss. In the end, the price of their raw materials will inevitably decrease, and then they will wantonly buy these cheap raw materials, make them into finished products, and sell them, forming a vicious circle. , the local market can only be suppressed by those big factory owners in Yangzhou.
As soon as you heard that Yangzhou was going to wipe out all the big landlords, those aristocratic families who had passed on for decades or even hundreds of years naturally quit. Why, the land bought by our ancestors will be confiscated by you.
So to resist Liu Wei, these gentry are more concerned than her Cao Cao.
But Liu Bei is different over there. Liu Bei, like Cao Cao, followed the route of relying on the gentry. If Cao Cao loses to Liu Mang, there may be Zhang Cao Liu Cao to deal with Liu Mang.
If Cao Cao loses to Liu Bei, then those gentry will also support Liu Bei as they support themselves.
Therefore, comparing the two sides, Liu Bei's threat is the greatest, and Cao Cao's eyes have already shone.
If Liu Bei is not dead, he will have trouble sleeping and eating! (to be continued..)
