Three Kingdoms: Do you call this a weak counselor? !

Chapter 35 Cao Cao: Impossible!Absolutely impossible! !
"My lord, when you go to attack Xuzhou this time, you still have to be careful."

Zhang Cheng looked at Cao Cao and said aloud.

Cao Cao seemed a little surprised when he heard Zhang Cheng's words.

I originally thought that Zhang Cheng would say that the dispatch of troops at this time was successful, and that he should press forward and capture Xuzhou.

Who could have imagined that he would actually say such words.

"Could it be that Gao thought that he would encounter some trouble during this expedition to Xuzhou?"

Before Cao Cao could speak, Cao Hong had already spoken first.

Zhang Chengdao:
"My lord has no worries about food and grass this time, and has a legitimate reason to attack Xuzhou.

It is to defeat the unruly with the Tao.

We are not planning to kill too many people in Xuzhou, but mainly to appease the people.

Under such circumstances, there is naturally no disadvantage.

It is basically a foregone conclusion that Xuzhou will be captured by the lord. "

Hearing Zhang Cheng say this, Cao Hong seemed a little confused.

"Since Mr. Gaojiu has said so, why do you still say that the lord should be careful?
Cao Cao, as well as Xun Yu Xi Zhicai and others present, also looked at Zhang Cheng, waiting for Zhang Cheng's explanation.

They were also confused by what Zhang Cheng said.

Zhang Chengdao:
"My lord, I can indeed capture Xuzhou this time.

But the lord needs to consider the war situation outside Xuzhou. "

Cao Cao said:
“I have also considered the war situation outside Xuzhou.

As Gao Jiu said, we have legitimate reasons for this expedition.

As soon as the notice came out, many people in the world were unable to help Tao Qian.

Yuan Shao from the north has a good relationship with me. We are allies.

And he is still competing with Gongsun Zan.

I sent people here again and sent some food, grass and money.

Under this situation, he would definitely not take action against Yanzhou.

As for Gongsun Zan, there is Yuan Shao in the middle, and it is even more impossible for him to reach out here.

Yuan Shu was beaten to a pulp by me during the Battle of Fengqiu.

Moreover, at this time, he had only taken Huainan and other places for a short time, and he needed to stabilize the rear and recuperate.

On Liu Biao's side, Sun Ce and others were eyeing him covetously.

Moreover, Liu Biao and our side can be considered allies.

In this case, the external environment does not require much consideration. "

As Cao Cao spoke, Xi Zhicai, Xun Yu and others couldn't help but nod secretly.

These are also things they have considered and confirmed.

It can be said that all aspects have been considered and nothing has been missed.

It was precisely because of this that they all set their sights on Zhang Cheng.

I want to see what other wise words Zhang Cheng can say under such circumstances.

Tell them something they haven't considered before.

Zhang Chengdao:
“My lord, you have indeed considered these aspects well.

But there was one thing I forgot to consider.

This point is Zhang Miao, the governor of Chenliu. "

Hearing Zhang Cheng's words, Cao Cao couldn't help but be stunned.

Then he shook his head immediately.

"Impossible, absolutely impossible!

Don't think too much about it.

Meng Zhuo and I have known each other for a long time, and it is a life-long friendship.

Between them, they can support their wives and children.

Besides, I am the governor of Yanzhou.Being able to sit on it, Meng Zhuo contributed a lot.

I treat Meng Zhuo sincerely, how could Meng Zhuo do something wrong to me?
Moreover, Yuan Shu led an army to attack before, and contacted the Black Mountain bandit Zhang Yan and Yu Fuluo to take action together.

At that time, Yanzhou was far less stable than it is now, and the situation was extremely dangerous.

Under such circumstances, Meng Zhuo always supported me from behind without any change.

If he really had different intentions and took action at that time, I'm afraid Yanzhou would be in danger.

And I myself will die without a burial place!
Meng Zhuo didn't take action. It can be seen from this that he still treats me as before.

You don't understand the friendship between Meng Zhuo and me.

You don’t quite understand Meng Zhuo’s character. It is absolutely impossible for him to act like this. "

After finishing speaking, Cao Cao laughed.Cao Hong, Xiahou Dun and others were also on the side and spoke one after another.

It said that Zhang Cheng was really worrying too much.

Zhang Cheng looked at Cao Cao and said:
"My lord, don't you hear that people's hearts are changeable at this moment and at that moment?
Meng Zhuo at that time might be different from Meng Zhuo now.

The lord at that time did not kill the famous scholar Bian Rang and others.

Lord, this matter is too big, so you should think twice before acting and be on guard against others. "

Cao Cao then shook his head.

"Gaojiu, you are indeed worrying too much about this matter.

You don’t understand the friendship between Meng Zhuo and me.

Moreover, when I killed Bian Rang and others, Meng Zhuo also supported me.

Meng Zhuo knows why I want to kill him.

And to say the least, even Meng Zhuo might really have some plot against me.

It will be disadvantageous for me when I attack Xuzhou.

But what means does he have to use against me?

Even if you have the intention, you don't have the strength to do it. "

Zhang Cheng shook his head when he heard this, pointed to the west and said:
"My lord, there is Lu Bu now in the west.

Lu Bu killed Dong Zhuo, was defeated by Li Jue and Guo Si, and fled to Guandong and other places in embarrassment.

First he attached himself to Yuan Shu, and later he attached himself to Yuan Shao.

Now he is at odds with Yuan Shao again, so he is in Hanoi.

Lu Bu's combat prowess is extraordinary.

Now I am living in a public place, suffering from having no place of my own.

If it were Zhang Miao and others, they would also invite Lu Bu to take over Yanzhou.

At this time, the lord led a large army to attack Xuzhou.

Under such circumstances, will the Lord's Yanzhou become critical? "

Cao Cao was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and sat here thinking deeply.

After doing this for a while, he shook his head and said:

"Lü Bu is a martial artist with a domineering personality.

Meng Zhuo has always looked down on warriors, so how could he invite Lu Bu to come to Yanzhou?

After a warrior like Lu Bu settles in Yanzhou, his life will only become more miserable.

There is absolutely no way I could be comfortable in Yanzhou with an old friend like me.

Besides, taking Xuzhou at this time, I have the right time, place, and people.

If I don't take Xuzhou, what chance will I have to take it in the future?
Could it be that Xuzhou must be abandoned just because of this possibility? "

Zhang Cheng shook his head and said tentatively: "That's not the case. My lord can also strike first..."

In this way, the lord can go to fetch Xuzhou with peace of mind. "

When Cao Cao heard this, he shook his head decisively.

"No, Meng Zhuo and I are as close as brothers, and our friendship will last forever.

How could you do such a despicable thing for no reason?

Moreover, Meng Zhuo was the prefect of Chenliu and had many contacts with Yanzhou scholars, so he had a great reputation.
If I murder Meng Zhuo for no reason, Yanzhou will definitely be in chaos. "

Xi Zhicai, Xun Yu and others also came out at this time to express their opinions.

They all felt that at this time, they would never give up on taking Xuzhou.

And he also felt that Zhang Miao would not do such a treacherous thing.

Zhang Miao is a trustworthy person. The last time Cao Cao faced Yuan Shu, the situation was crisis.

Before Cao Cao went on the expedition, he said that if he was defeated and died, his family could go to Zhang Miao, and Zhang Miao would not treat them badly.

Zhang Cheng felt helpless after hearing what everyone said.

Knew it would be like this.

If he said that he wanted to kill Zhang Miao, Cao Cao would never agree.

After all, the relationship between Cao Cao and Zhang Miao is here.

Cao Cao took action before Zhang Miao took action, which had a great impact on Cao Cao's reputation.

It seems that it is impossible to solve the disaster in its infancy.

We can only settle for the next best thing.

He looked at Cao Cao and said:
"Since my lord doesn't want to attack Zhang Miao.

Well, I have another strategy here to prevent accidents from happening. "
