Three Kingdoms: Everything Can Be Gamified

Chapter 257 Cao Cao's Plan

"Huh, if you want to fight, then fight. Why are you so hypocritical?" Cao Cao thought for a long time and made a decision immediately:
First contact Yuan Shu, and while Liu Bei is encircling Chenliu County, he suddenly launches an attack from the rear.

He knew this was risky, but if Chen Liu really wanted to lose it.

If it is thrown to Yuan Shu, there is still a chance to get it back, but if it falls into Liu Bei's hands, there is a high probability that they will not be able to get it back.

Secondly, Cao Ren, who was left behind, was sent to Chenliu immediately to assist Zhang Miao in his defense.

Dian Wei and Xiahou Dun were brought out by him, while Xiahouyuan and Cao Ren stayed behind.

After all, Cao Cao is not a clan relative. In order to recruit talents, he even issued the "Recruitment Order", which only seeks talent and learning, regardless of virtue.

Therefore, he was ridiculed by the celebrity Bian Rang and killed him in a rage. After killing him, he realized what he had done.

This group of celebrities may not have real talents and learning, but they are famous!
They also have a circle, and they are very united, spreading Cao Cao's notoriety everywhere without saying a word.

So that during this period of time, not many people defected to him.

Earlier, Xun Yu from Yingchuan took refuge and recruited Du Xi, Xi Zhicai, Guo Jia and Hu Zhao to join him.

Du Ji, a native of Jingzhao Duling, followed Zhong Yao to serve.

Mao Jie from Chenliu, Lu Qian from Rencheng, Weixi from Hedong, and old friend Lou Gui came to join him.

Finally, adding that Liu Dai's subordinate general, Xu Chu of Qiaoxian County, was originally under Liu Dai's command, and he had both civil and military skills.

After being frantically smeared by those celebrities, basically no one came to work.

In the final analysis, Cao Cao is not a clan member of the Han Dynasty.

So when he entered Xuzhou, the local wealthy families were very uncooperative, and at the same time the local city guards were very resistant.

After all, in the rumors, he was brutal and bloodthirsty.

At that time, he was really angry, since everyone said that he was brutal and bloodthirsty, let them kill him!

Slaughter three cities all the way down, and then continue to attack, just shout: Those who dare to resist will be slaughtered the day the city is broken!
As a result, they immediately opened the door and surrendered cautiously, which was actually much more convenient.

Cao Cao didn't intend to refute himself, just like in the past after killing Lu Boshe's family, facing Chen Gong's complicated expression, he said: "I would rather let the world down, than let the world down on me!"

As for Liu Bei calling, just call!
Now that the great Han has fallen apart, and there is no one majesty that everyone can trust, why does Liu Bei reprimand himself, relying on himself as the clan of the Han family, thinking that he has taken up righteousness?

Do you want righteousness?The big deal is to accept Xun Wenruo's suggestion and support a Han family clan member to be in power!
Let's just say that Liu Yao, the king of Xiaopei, is quite suitable in age and status, so let's order someone to take him back first.

"Duke Ming, shall we continue to attack Xuzhou?" Dian Wei asked.

"Fight, take down Xiapi within ten days. Tell Tao Qian to leave the city and surrender immediately, so that he will not die!" Cao Cao immediately ordered.

Now it was too late to return to Chen Liu, if it was impossible, Chen Liu could be thrown away, anyway, Zhang Miao didn't really surrender to himself.

From the beginning to the end, he was always close to Yuan Shao.

Now the trend of self-separation is becoming more and more obvious. Due to other reasons, Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu have not bothered with themselves for the time being.

Cao Cao may not have thought about it, and took the opportunity to completely take over Chen Liu's military and political power.

The military order was quickly passed back to Juan (juan) city. Since Cao Cao became the shepherd of Yanzhou, he moved the government here.

Xun Yu sighed, what Cao Cao did in Xuzhou did indeed lead to bad consequences.

Thinking of my nephew and even several cousins ​​serving under Liu Bei's command, I was somewhat entangled.

In essence, Xun Yu is a Baohan faction, but now that His Majesty has passed away, he has his own ideas about who will succeed the Datong.

I was also a little helpless, not long after I joined Cao Cao's command, there was news of His Majesty's death...

So Cao Cao was persuaded before that he could support a Han family clan as emperor and serve him as the emperor in order to beg for disobedience.

It's not that there are no clansmen of the Han Dynasty with real power. For example, Liu Bei is a good choice.

Judging from the feedback from his cousin, Liu Bei too listened to his fifth brother Zhang He.

Most of the reforms under his command today were proposed by Zhang He.

In addition, Zhang Fei is Zhang He's half-brother, and Taishi Ci once served as a general in the Zhang family. Looking at the story of Liu Bei's rise, Zhang He's shadow is almost all there.

Xun Yu immediately judged that although Liu Bei was the sworn brother and a clan member of the Han Dynasty, he was actually a puppet supported by the Zhang family in Zhuo County.

There are many ways to support the puppet, and Zhang He's method is the most subtle.

The day Liu Bei takes over the world, Zhang He and others will definitely be powerful officials, let alone others.

In fact, the power fell completely into the hands of the Zhang family.

It can be said that the more detached Zhang He is, even if he is not big or small, the more worried this group of people will be.

After all, the three views of modern people are different from those of ancient people. Zhang He never received similar education since he was a child. In the end, it was the connivance of his elder brothers that made him gradually break free and break the rules.

In the eyes of some scholars, these behaviors are proper "power manipulation" behaviors.

Er Yuan's foundation is not very clean, both of them are careerists, let alone 'holding the emperor to make the princes', it is possible to directly proclaim the emperor.

Although there are many die-hard Han people, there are also many people who realize that the Han Dynasty is corrupt and hope for change in the world.

The Yuan family really became emperor, and the reputation of the fourth generation and the third prince was ruined. It may not be a way out, the premise is that it can be kept.

As far as the existing forces are concerned, only Cao Cao has the cleanest foundation. Through actual contact, he found that he still has nostalgia for the big man.

This discovery made Xun Yu very excited, so he tried his best to help him expand his power.

It's a pity that Cao Cao started too late, and Liu Bei held the imperial examination twice, which has swept away a lot of talents.

Too many heroes from the Central Plains, Hebei, and even Jingzhou went to work there.

I don't even know what method Liu Bei used to gain the trust and support of Huangfu Li, Huangfu Jianshou, Zhu Hao and others.

Probably also his identity as a clan member of the Han Dynasty?
It has to be said that in terms of the status quo of the big man, his clan of the Han clan with real power, especially the clan clan of the Han clan who is called the king, is the most dominant on the surface!

"Try your best! This time, it may not be an opportunity!" Xun Yu quickly started to get busy.

Under his operation, a large amount of supplies began to move towards the front line, and a large number of troops also gathered there.

There is Cheng Yu in Qingzhou as the state shepherd, so Cao Cao is relieved and Xun Yu is also relieved.

When Liu Bei attacked Yanzhou, the local officials were willing to surrender, after all, they were relatives with real power.

Finally, the army surrounded Chenliu County, and Zhang Miao stubbornly resisted.

Fortunately, Cao Ren, Xu Chu and others will come to support one after another. The two sides are in equal numbers, but they are temporarily confronting each other.

At about this time, Zhang Xiu came to Liu Bei's camp to ask for an audience.

Liu Bei was still a little surprised. Why did Zhang Xiu, who was guarding Wuguan, come here? He immediately ordered to be summoned.

"Your Highness, I have left my post without authorization, and I hope Your Highness will forgive me!" When Zhang Xiu saw Liu Bei, he first took the initiative to confess his crime.

"Tell me why you came here. Based on your answer, I will decide whether to punish you or not." After all, Liu Bei's status was different, and his words had a bit more majesty from a superior.

"A few days ago, Yuan Shu suddenly attacked Wuguan, and the last general almost couldn't hold on, so he immediately sent people to Guanzhong and Bingzhou to ask for help..." Zhang Xiu didn't dare to be negligent, and told what happened in the past few days.

When he heard that Wuguan was attacked, Liu Bei couldn't help but feel worried.

He also heard that Zhang He arrived in the defense in less than four days, and he was relieved.

With Zhang He's special marching efficiency, it is indeed very convenient to go somewhere for emergency treatment.

There was also this consideration in keeping him in the first place.

"That is to say, the war is still going on over there, but Da Dao is worried that the other party will make a fuss, so he sent you over to check?" Liu Bei looked at Zhang Xiu and said thoughtfully.

"General Zhang has the highest official position. Given the situation in Wuguan at that time, he is naturally the leader." Zhang Xiu quickly explained.

"The widow is not blaming you for accepting his dispatch, but came here this time, did you find anything?" Liu Bei asked.

Zhang Xiu was originally recommended by Zhang He, so it's not surprising that he would be obedient if he was a member of his party.

Since becoming the Liang King, he has understood two things:
There are already several factions under his command, and Zhang He is the leader of the largest faction.

At the same time, I also understand that at his level, he should not care about how many factions there are below, but how to balance the various factions.

Question Zhang He is both civil and military, versatile, and it's not bad if he doesn't indulge.

You can only promote other factions to form constraints.

"There are indeed a large number of scouts cruising along the border between Yingchuan and Chenliu!" Zhang Xiu said hastily, "The last general has sent people to continue the investigation!"

　A lot of time was wasted on this part. How to arrange Cao Cao's ideas and Xun Yu's ideas properly is the most difficult.After all, Xun Yu is a loyal man, so why would he seek refuge with Cao Cao.

　　Cao Cao is said to have nostalgia for the big man, but the princes begging for Dong caused his faith to collapse.

　　However, the process of welcoming Liu Xie to Xuchang may not be without a trace of fantasy, but Liu Xie assassinated the latter again and again to find someone to attack him, which broke his heart.

　　The change of Cao Cao's mentality during this period should be the most complicated. He has the idea of ​​self-reliance and has some fantasies about the big man.Just like Cao Cao in history, the way to express it is more difficult, and it is naturally more difficult to write.

　　The environment will affect a person, so in my writing, Liu Bei drifts ahead of time, Ma Chao may correct his personality a little bit, and Cao Cao's personality has become more complicated.

　　After all, it is impossible to be exactly the same as history. I hope everyone understands and understands this.
