Chaos of the Three Kingdoms Summons

Chapter 610 Chen Gong
Yanzhou, Chen Liu!
Cao Cao slowly put down the information in his hand, and asked the advisers on one side solemnly, "Military advisor, do you think Yang Jian, Fu Jian and others can stop Li Zifeng's attack?"

"That Li Zifeng has fought on the battlefield since he was a child, and he has never been defeated. Moreover, among the princes of the world, if you talk about the number and intelligence of the generals under his command, then Li Zifeng deserves to be number one. If Li Zifeng doesn't increase further The strength of the army, and the fact that the four princes of Yongliang and Liang are united, there should be [-]% certainty!" Xun You thought about it carefully, and then said.

Hearing this, Cao Cao couldn't help but sighed deeply. The [-]% certainty seems to be a lot, but it is based on the concerted efforts of the four princes from Yongliang and Liang, and it is based on the fact that Li Xiang will not increase his troops. .

Hearing Cao Cao sigh, Xun You did not express anything.Whether Li Xiang won or lost this battle, although his relationship with the Xun family was great, it was not that great.

If Li Xiang wins this battle, Xun Yu, an important minister under Li Xiang's command, will keep the Xun family safe.And if Li Xiang loses this battle, the Xun family still has him, Xun You, and Yuan Shao's Xun Chen.

Speaking of this, it was precisely because Xun Yu and Xun Chen were doing well in the hands of Li Xiang and Yuan Shao respectively that Xun You rejected Xun Yu's invitation to him and instead turned to Cao Cao.

Investing more in several companies is a common method used by aristocratic families.

Speaking of which, in today's world, not only the Xun family has the most investment, but also the Sima family, the Hanoi Sima family.

During the Yellow Turban Rebellion, because the yellow scarves were everywhere, most of the world’s aristocratic families chose to go to Luoyang, the imperial capital, to avoid the limelight. By the way, everyone huddled together to keep warm, and the Sima family in Hanoi was no exception.

It was also because of this that when the Yellow Turban Rebellion was over, one of the first things Li Xiang did when he was serving as the Hippo guard was to go to Wen County to visit Sima's family, but in the end he was in vain.

In the following time, due to the dramatic changes in the world situation, the Sima family did not return to their hometown in Wen County, Hanoi, but took root in the imperial capital.Later, when Dong Zhuo moved his capital, the Sima family was also forced to go to Chang'an.

However, this Sima family is indeed very good at life. When they received the news from the servants who stayed in their hometown in Luoyang, after learning that Li Xiang visited the Sima family, they immediately sent Sima Lang back to Wen County and He began to serve under Li Xiang's command.

Sima Lang's achievements may be far inferior to the future Sima Yi, but Sima Lang is the eldest son of the Sima family after all, and he is considered to be the future head of the Sima family.

The Sima family can send Sima Lang to serve under Li Xiang's command, which is already giving Li Xiang a lot of face.You know, Li Xiang at that time was not the number one prince in the world now.

In addition to sending Sima Lang here to invest in Li Xiang, the Sima family also sent Sima Guang to Xuzhou later.

Like Sima Guang, Sima Cuo, who is also a collateral branch of the Sima family, originally planned to join Liu Bang in response to the family's order, but was convinced by Qin Zheng's domineering spirit, and became a general with Qin Zheng at ease.

"My lord, if the Yongliang and Liangzhou states captured by Li Xiang are really allowed, how powerful will Li Xiang's power be when he holds the land of the five states? At that time, the princes of the world still have some hope. From the perspective of the palace, when Chen Bing The tiger prison will involve Li Zifeng's troops, so that Li Zifeng cannot continue to increase his troops on the Yongliang battlefield." Chen Gong smoothed his beard and bowed to Cao Cao.

Chen Gong was originally from Yanzhou, and there were only two forces in Yanzhou, Cao Cao and Chi You, so defecting to Cao Cao was naturally his best choice.

In this world, Cao Cao became the prefect of Chenliu early on, and Cao Cao's assassination of Dong did not happen after that. Naturally, it was impossible to be too suspicious and mistakenly think that Lu Boshe's family wanted to capture the two of them and report to the officials for rewards, so they killed them. Losing his family, let alone continue to kill Lu Boshe.

At the same time, in this time and space, Cao Cao never ordered the execution of those celebrities in Yanzhou. Therefore, no matter what Chen Gong said, he had stayed under Cao Cao's command until now.

"It's a pity that with Chi You by our side, even if we can send troops, the maximum is no more than [-]!" Cao Cao sighed rather regretfully.

Now, although Chi You's main force is fighting against Xuzhou Zhao Kuangyin, but because of Jiang Xiaobai and Wang Mang, Chi You also deployed a force outside the junction of his and Cao Cao's forces.

In this case, Cao Cao also had to send troops to guard against Chi You.Although the opponent is now fighting with Zhao Kuangyin, theoretically it will not be easy to fight on two fronts, but if Cao Cao really relaxes his vigilance, it is not certain that the opponent will come to a difficult show.

Cao Cao has a total of nearly [-] soldiers and horses, half of which are used to guard against Chi You.

In fact, Cao Cao now only covers three counties in total. The reason why he can have [-] soldiers has innumerable relationships with the Mojin Xiaowei he set up.

If Captain Mojin hadn't provided financial support for Cao Cao, Cao Cao would not have raised [-] soldiers, even half of the current level would be enough.

After all, Yanzhou was the hardest-hit area of ​​the Yellow Turban at the beginning. Although there were not many major conflicts between Cao Cao and Chi You in these years, small-scale conflicts continued one after another.Although Cao Cao intends to recuperate, a few small battles may be half the effort.

Under such conditions, although Cao Cao had three counties in his hands, the process of raising troops was not easy, but he had to raise a large army.

"My lord, sending [-] troops is enough. Our army only needs to contain a part of Li Zifeng's troops, so why fight Li Zifeng to death for Yang Jian and others!" Chen Gong said slowly.

Indeed, they sent troops just because they didn't want Li Xiang to successfully annex Yongliang. It was the best of humanity to help Yang Jian contain part of Li Xiang's troops and prevent Li Xiang from further mobilizing troops to join the Yongliang battlefield.

"My lord, the lord is not the only one in the world who doesn't want to see Li Zifeng annex Yongliang. Maybe the southern princes and other central plains princes who are in the middle of the war are not in danger, but the Hebei princes will definitely not sit idly by. Therefore, My lord's [-] troops are enough!" Xun You said again.

Cao Cao nodded knowingly. He himself is already famous for his wit and scheming. Many things, even if these advisers under his account are not mentioned, he himself can think of it.

Thinking of Li Xiang's three states, and thinking that he only has three counties, Cao Cao couldn't help but sighed slightly. Fortunately, he was not the only one who sent troops, otherwise, the gap between them would be too big.

With Cao Cao's heart alone, he can't afford to offend a great prince like Li Xiang for the time being.
