Zhuge was reborn, killed the old thief Sima

Chapter 342 Xun You's Calculation (Fifth Watch)
Huo Jun was trying his best to boost morale and persevered, hoping to give Feng Xi and Zhang Nan as much time as possible.

At this time, Cao Jun's camp also had its own plans.

In Jia Xu's tent at Cao Jun's camp, his followers couldn't help but feel puzzled when they looked at Jia Xu who was burning incense and sitting in meditation.

"Sir, isn't it true that what you believe in the most is that you don't talk about strange powers and confuse the gods?
Why did you take the initiative to burn incense today? "

"Burn incense for the people of Hanzhong in advance, so that their murders will not be blamed on me in the future."

Jia Xu, who was sitting quietly with his eyes closed, just said this slowly, and then continued to be silent.

The follower didn't seem to understand very well. After seeing Jia Xu's appearance, he knew that he didn't intend to continue talking.

Therefore, he did not continue to ask questions, but quietly cleaned up the incense ashes, and then stayed by Jia Xu's side.

In the rear camp on the other side, Yang Xiu, who came with the army, counted all the food and supplies. After confirming his thoughts, he went directly to the central army camp.

"Young man Yang Xiu, pay your respects to the Prime Minister!"

At this time, Cao Cao, who was having acupuncture on his head by a military doctor, couldn't help but frown when he saw Yang Xiu who came to see him.

"You are not patrolling the camp tonight, what are you doing here?"

"The villain has just returned from an inspection of the rear camp with supplies. He discovered that our army was spending a lot of money on food and fodder, so he came to see the Prime Minister."

"I know the truth, you don't need to say anything!" After hearing Yang Xiu's words, Cao Mengde felt that his head had finally relaxed, but now it hurt even more!
But what Cao Mengde didn't expect was that Yang Xiu, who was supposed to leave, not only did not leave, but also took a step forward again.

"Prime Minister!" Yang Xiu saluted Cao Mengde again, "Prime Minister has a headache today, but is it because of what this military advisor planned?"

"." Cao Mengde, who was holding his forehead to endure, suddenly raised his eyes slightly, and his eyes suddenly became sharp. Unfortunately, the hand stroking his forehead blocked most of his eyes.

Yang Xiu didn't realize that he was even a little complacent at this time.

"Forgive me, Prime Minister. When I was inspecting the sergeants and military supplies of this battalion today, I suddenly found that not only were we short of military supplies, but the morale of the army was also sluggish. Moreover, Hanzhong is not a crucial place for us now. .

For the sake of a small Hanzhong, they actually tried to make the prime minister rush to a dangerous place in person. This kind of strategy was even more dangerous than the surprise attack on Bailang Mountain.

It’s really not what a wise man does! "

"So?" Cao Mengde's tone didn't change much, but his eyes covered by his palm became sharper, and even the left hand that spread the bamboo slips slowly stopped moving.

"Go on!"

"Promise!" Yang Xiu bowed to Cao Mengde and promised, "Now we are entering dangerous areas alone in order to attack Hanzhong. In order to ensure morale and food, we must plunder from Hanzhong!
I even heard that Liu Xuande transported a large amount of grain and grass to Jingzhou. I am afraid that the military advisor wants us to completely massacre Hanzhong! "

"." Regarding Yang Xiu's words, Cao Mengde did not show anything. Instead, he continued to ask, "Why is this so?"

"Liu Xuande's seizure of Xichuan is already difficult to contain. Even on the battlefields of Jingzhou and Jiaozhou, we may not be able to take advantage.

Liu Xuande has been so popular in recent years. If you want to curb his rise, you cannot rely on the gains and losses of one city and one pool.

But to completely cut off its roots! "

"What is its root?"

"People's hearts!" Yang Yi had completely understood at this time, "The military advisor forced the Hanzhong family to take action just to let us massacre Hanzhong.

Liu Xuande has grown up in humble beginnings over the years. In addition to his heroic nature, the most important thing is that his reputation for benevolence is very popular!

If we want to destroy its roots, we must destroy its people's hearts and make the people of Yizhou and even the three states completely disappointed with it.

It was previously heard that after Liu Bei entered Sichuan, he took the lead in attacking the Bati Hao family, hoping to break the situation and make preparations for governing Xichuan in the future.But doing so would be tantamount to offending the local wealthy family in Xichuan. If they had no choice, they could only choose to bow their heads to Liu Bei.

But if we show up and give them goodwill, then they will definitely resist desperately at the critical moment and hold back Liu Xuande.

Not to mention the Basi Hu people who are waiting for us. Although the Hu people with seven surnames may not seem strong, they have been based in Xichuan for thousands of years.

They are deeply rooted in Xichuan, especially in Ba County. As long as they don't let go, Liu Bei will not be able to easily enter Ba County!

By that time, the war in Xichuan will be in a state of anxiety, and we will be able to flex our muscles in Hanzhong.

If we massacre in Hanzhong at this time, we will definitely be able to force the people into the arms of the noble family."

"enough!"

Cao Mengde finally interrupted Yang Xiu's words, and then slowly put down his palm that was stroking his forehead.

But at this moment, his eyes were full of smiles.

"Dezu is indeed worthy of being my great man's wise man. You are indeed smart."

"It is a blessing to be able to serve the Prime Minister!"

"Hahahaha. Okay!" Cao Mengde stroked his beard and laughed, then suddenly changed the topic, "I feel a little wronged by transferring you away from Zhi'er this time.

I heard that you and Zhi'er are close friends. You must be a good student and help Zhi'er in the future, and don't let him do whatever he wants.

understand? "

"Xiu, understand!"

"Well, please step back first." Cao Mengde nodded slowly and asked Yang Xiu to bow and say goodbye.

At this time, the doctor behind Cao Mengde was already trembling all over, his legs were trembling, and he was about to cry.

Cao Mengde shivered even more when he was injecting the needle, and Xu Chu on the side was waiting with a pair of eyes staring at his every move.

"Prime Minister, I will take my leave first."

The doctor managed to remove the last silver needle, and then walked outside with tears in his voice.

Xu Chu's eyes narrowed slightly, and then he followed behind him.

But just as he was about to take a step, Cao Mengde stopped him directly.

"Zhongkang, don't do this!"

".Prime Minister!"

"Now we must not commit any more unnecessary killings. Although Liu Xuande is full of benevolence, justice and morality, he is not without merit."

".promise!"

"Hey!" Cao Mengde put on his big cloak and slowly walked out of the camp under the protection of Xu Chu. He couldn't help but think of the scene he saw again in his mind.

There is no rooster crowing for thousands of miles, and the bones of the dead are exposed in the wild.
"Zhongkang, do you think that after thousands of years, future generations will judge me, Cao Mengde, and call me a hero?"
