The three countries are very nuclear

Chapter 453 Chen Gong and Cheng Yu's Plan
Cao Cao's mind is actually not that complicated, especially now that the princes are separatist and disputes are about to arise, he just wants to find a piece of land, concentrate on development, and keep one side safe.

If the current situation permits, then you might as well go a step further and see if you can try to grab a big man.

But the current predicament made him unable to do anything.

Liu Bei also treats him well. He wants officials to officials, and wives to wives. Except for Pengcheng's autonomy, it can be said that he is given everything he can.

But Cao Cao always felt uneasy in his heart, not only because of Lin Chao's defense against him, but also because of Xuzhou's current state.Today's Xuzhou seems to have become a country within a country, and the people under the rule only know Liu Taiwei but not the court.

Although the people's lives are gradually becoming richer, but in the long run, Liu Xuande's popularity in Xuzhou will be unmatched, even surpassing the imperial court and the emperor!
In this way, the Han Dynasty that Liu Xuande was determined to support would inevitably become his own Han Dynasty.

It is understandable for Liu Bei to do so in the current decline of the imperial court, but understanding is not the same as agreeing.This made Cao Cao feel grudges, and it was also the reason why he could not integrate into the Xuzhou Group.

As for Yuan Shao... that's mud that won't even stick to the wall, needless to say.

Therefore, Cao Cao was eager to get a piece of land that really belonged to him to realize his ambition.

So when Cheng Yu said that there is a piece of land to stand on right now, Cao Cao was shocked, but he still didn't dare to believe it.After all, although these two people were famous, it was the first time they met him.

It is a big taboo for people to talk shallowly and deeply.

Cao Cao took a deep look at Cheng Yu, then shook his head and said with a smile, "Sir, you are joking. A certain talent has little virtue, so I dare not have such extravagant hopes."

When Cheng Yu heard this, he was taken aback for a moment before realizing that he was a little anxious.

It was the first time they met, and they were anxious to offer up the territory. Not only would they not be able to win Cao Cao's trust, but they would appear to be scheming.

Just when Cheng Yu was hesitating, Chen Gong who was next to him laughed and said, "General Cao didn't dare to believe it, it's human nature. But a certain two people came here because they really wanted to gain a piece of land for the general, so please don't let them go." suspect."

Cao Cha still didn't believe it, but Chen Gong had already talked about this point, and he seemed petty to refuse, so he asked: "I have never met the two gentlemen, why do you want to plan for me?"

Please state your motives, otherwise you will not talk about it.

Hearing this, Chen Gong didn't explain any more, but said with a disappointed face: "In the past Dong Thief had hundreds of thousands of troops, strong and powerful, and powerful. The general had only a few thousand people, but he dared to face difficulties and was not afraid of life and death. , can be called great loyalty and bravery. Why are you so intimidated when facing a certain person and a scholar today? It's really disappointing!"

As he spoke, Chen Gong even stood up, cupped his hands at Cao Cao, and said, "If the general has doubts and is undecided, and even unwilling to listen to the plan of the two, then it will all be regarded as a wrong person, and he will retire. Already!"

After finishing speaking, Chen Gong sighed, turned around and was about to leave.

Playing hard to get - activate!
Youdao is a fresh trick that can be eaten all over the world.Although the tactic of playing hard to get is old-fashioned, as long as it is used properly, it is really easy to use.

Although Cao Cao had doubts in his heart, he couldn't stop him from wanting more territory. Seeing that Chen Gong was really about to leave, he hurriedly stood up and stopped him, saying, "Sir, wait a minute, wait a minute!"

"What else can you teach the general?"

A smile appeared on the corner of Chen Gong's mouth, and he looked at Cao Cao with a half-smile.

Cao Cao bowed his hands to Chen Gong solemnly, and said sincerely: "It's all the fault of XX just now, and I hope that Mister can ignore the previous suspicions and point out a way for XX."

No matter what the purpose of these two people is, listen to what they have to say before making any plans.

Seeing that Cao Cao admitted his mistake so simply and tried his best to persuade him to stay, Chen Gong showed a satisfied look on his face.

This is the attitude of a hero who meets Dong Bandit by the banks of the Bian River, and it's not in vain for someone to take the trouble to plan for him!
Chen Gong sat down again, but this time he didn't tantalize people anymore, but directly expressed his idea.

"General, the current imperial court is in decline, and there are conflicts and divisions in the world. Looking at the situation, Liu Xuande holds Xuzhou in his hands, has a strong army, and is eyeing Qingzhou. Yuan Gonglu owns Yuzhou and wants to swallow Jingxiang. Yuan Benchu's plan to seize Jizhou has almost Even Liu Bo'an in the far north defended Youzhou and expelled the Qiang Hu.

This is a change that hasn't happened in a hundred years. There is really not much room for the generals to use their skills due to the strife in the Central Plains. "

After hearing Chen Gong's analysis, Cao Cao couldn't help but nodded, deeply agreeing.

The current situation in the Central Plains can be said to be a mess, and if it is not done well, it will affect the whole body. Otherwise, Liu Bei would not send himself to lobby Bao Xin before he went to Jizhou.

Except for wild places like Yangzhou, Jiaozhou, and Liangzhou, and Sizhou, which is inconvenient to reach out, every state has a big boss occupying the territory, which makes Cao Cao very desperate.

Now that he has spoken, Cao Cao no longer hesitates, and simply asks: "Then where is the place of refuge that you mentioned just now?"

This time it was Cheng Yu who answered, he stroked his beard here, and said with a smile: "General, the road... is right under your feet."

underfoot?

Yanzhou!

"However, it is Yanzhou."

Chen Gong spoke, affirming Cheng Yu's statement.

"Sir, although Yanzhou is good, it is not a place that can be controlled." Cao Cao said with a wry smile, "There is Liu Xuande in the east, Yuan Benchu ​​in the north, and Yuan Gonglu in the south. How can we survive in such a place where the Fourth World War is?"

Chen Gong said sternly: "The general's words are wrong, because it is the place of the Fourth War, it is better to survive."

Hearing this, Cao Cao was silent for a long time before he finally understood what Chen Gong meant.

Since Liu Dai, the governor of Yanzhou, was captured by Liu Bei, Qiao Mao, the prefect of Dongjun County, was also killed. Now Yanzhou can be said to be a land without an owner. If you want to take advantage of it, now is the time.

Furthermore, according to the development of the current situation, Yanzhou will definitely be the place of the Fourth World War in the future, and neither Yuan nor Liu Bei will let go of this piece of fat.

The three parties, Er Yuan and Liu Bei, will not sit and watch which party's strength soars. Only one of them dares to extend its hand to Yanzhou, which will inevitably attract countermeasures from the other two parties.

It is precisely because of this that Cao Cao had the opportunity to control Yanzhou.Although it is a way to get chestnuts out of the fire, it is still a way.As long as he takes the position of Yanzhou Mu, Cao Cao will not be attacked by three parties, but may be drawn.

It has to be said that Chen Gong's idea is indeed feasible.

At the beginning, Lin Chao was worried that reaching out to Yanzhou would attract Eryuan's attack, so he planned to find a puppet to serve as Yanzhou pastor.But he never expected that on the way Cai Yong brought Lu Zhi to Xuzhou, several people who wanted to pick peaches appeared.

Seeing that Cao Cao seemed a little moved, Chen Gong continued: "The general is the shepherd of Yanzhou. When facing Eryuan and Liu Xuande, you should remain neutral. This is the long-term solution. Then, you can develop your power westward to the border of Sili , to consolidate our own strength by staying away from the places where the Four Wars took place. If this goes on for less than ten years, Eryuan and Xuzhou will surely have a big war, and the generals can raise troops to act according to changes in the situation, and it may not be impossible to become the cause of the Five Hegemons!"

Cao Cao was already shocked by the idea and feasibility of winning Yanzhou. He did not expect that Chen Gong had a follow-up plan, which made Cao Cao even more delighted, and even changed the way he looked at Chen Gong.

This person is a great talent!

Although it is not as good as Lin Zichu and Guo Fengxiao, it is still a good strategy in the world!

At this moment, Cao Cao probably got rid of the fear of being dominated by Lin Chao, and became complacent because of Chen Gong's few words, and planned to find another opportunity to fight another spring.
