Hee Emperor of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 392 Cao Cao's Plan (Second Change)
Four days later in the morning, the warm sunlight shone on the royal palace in Ye City. In a garden as beautiful as a fairyland, Yuan Xi was playing chess with Li Ru.

"Cao Cao's eyes are very poisonous! Gu made such a big movement, and he didn't move at all. To be honest, Gu really wanted to hit him." Yuan Xi held a black chess piece and smiled coldly. In order to let the Xiongnu and Xianbei completely I believe that Dayan's current goal is Cao Cao in the Central Plains. Yuan Xi mobilized the three legions. Yuan Ping, Jiao Touch, and Gao Lan respectively commanded the army to advance towards Xu, Yan, and Liang. Liangzhou was very cooperative, and Ma Chao personally led the army. The large army was stationed at Hangu Pass, causing a war to break out, but Cao Cao was different, he did what he had to do, and even sent him a letter telling him that he already knew about the war between the two clans. He, Cao Cao, also hates foreigners from the bottom of his heart. Civil strife must not be compared with the majesty of a big man, and he even reassures him that he will actively cooperate if necessary, and must not insult Wei Huozhi's achievements.

"You don't have to be like this, Cao Cao is not only a hero, but also an outstanding commander. He has never been defeated before meeting the king. Although there is a lot of movement in our army, even my people in Dayan think that the king is going to fight again. The war started, but as soon as the news of the recovery of Yunzhong County reached Cao Cao's ears, he understood it completely, but this did not affect the deployment of our army. The Xiongnu and Xianbei did not have Cao Cao's vision. They just thought that our army wanted to sit on the mountain Look at the tiger's head, the war is about to break out in one place," Li Ru comforted with a smile.

After Yuan Xi was silent for a while, he suddenly shook his head slightly, and said solemnly: "Military commander, you must not underestimate Cao Cao in the slightest. He will never die, and his lonely heart will never be at ease. Recently, the military command has gained a lot. And the news of sending people deep into the middle of Sichuan, I am worried that Cao Cao will send troops again when our army calms down the two tribes."

Li Ru's expression froze, and he said, "Your Majesty, you are saying that Cao Cao will give up the self-cultivation policy he formulated and send troops to Hanzhong to capture the entire Yizhou."

"No! He's not going to Hanzhong, he's going south to Jingzhou," Yuan Xi sneered.

"What?" Li Ru was surprised, and said: "My lord, although Jingzhou is a prosperous place, Liu Biao is still the leader after all, and he has 10,000+ armored soldiers. How dare Cao Cao take this risk now, and although there are natural dangers in the middle of Shu, but Liu Zhang is mediocre, addicted to debauchery and beauties all day long, and he is renounced from the bottom of his heart, hoping for the arrival of a hero. Once someone cooperates with Cao Cao, then Cao Cao will definitely swallow the middle of Shu. There are millions of people there, enough to raise hundreds of thousands of soldiers. Cao Cao How to give up this piece of fat and go swallow a hard bone"

"Yes, according to common sense, or Cao Cao's previous deployment, he did have this idea, because Yizhou can become the foundation of his Cao family, and he has no worries about the future, but things are changing. Gu knows Cao Cao very well, and this period Over time, Cao Cao also began to understand Gu in depth. He had a clear mind. Gu must know that he would take Yizhou, so he would try every means to prevent him from entering Shu. He is much weaker than Gu, and he also knows Gu's character. He will give up this plan temporarily, because only Liu Zhang is the lord of Yizhou, and Yizhou can be eaten at any time. He cares about the length of time. Concentrate there, so that he can plan everything in Jingzhou with peace of mind, and there will be a huge time difference," Yuan Xi said seriously.

Li Ru was stunned for a moment, and finally knew why the king suddenly asked him to play chess, but he still had some doubts: "My lord, why are you so sure?"

"Because if it's Gu, Gu will do this." After Yuan Xi finished speaking, he accidentally crushed the pawn in his hand.

Li Ru's pupils shrank, and the psychology between the heroes is sometimes the same, and they all carry an adventurous spirit. Maybe Cao Cao really intends to do so, but he wants to eat Jingzhou, what is he going to do?There are 10,000+ troops there. Although Cao Cao is not inferior, it is impossible to easily eat it!
Unless, Li Ru suddenly looked shocked, and a trace of worry flashed in his eyes.

"It seems that the military adviser has already thought of it. Yes, it is Liu Biao. There are many factions in Jingzhou. Cai Kuai regards it as fire and water. The Kuai family supports the eldest son Liu Qi, while the Cai family supports the youngest son Liu Cong. Once something happens to Liu Biao, Jingzhou will immediately explode. Civil strife, my Dayan is far away from Jingzhou. Although Sun Quan is close, he and Jingzhou are feuds, let alone Yizhou. Watch all the way, as long as Cao Cao has this condition, and he has ordered the princes to plan. Well, Cao Cao can even take the entire Jingzhou and join the Central Plains without bloodshed. The prosperity of Jingzhou has always been claimed to be comparable to that of Jizhou. Once Cao Cao gets it, even if Xiliang is wiped out, he can also form an alliance with the Jiangdong Sun Clan , Stabilize the triangle again, and resist my big Yan." Yuan Xi said with a serious face. He has been thinking about this question for a few days, and the reason is that he seems to know Cao Cao's movements too well. This is not Cao Cao's style, nor is it the ability that Cao Cao should have.

"Your Majesty, if this is the case, this plan must be shattered, and Cao Cao must not be allowed to take Jingzhou." Zhuge Liang walked in anxiously holding a memorial, obviously hearing what Yuan Xi had just said.

"Kongming is here" Li Ru smiled suddenly, with admiration on his face. During the time when Zhuge Liang entered the Shangshutai, Han Yan had told him countless times with pride that he is now more relaxed than ever, because Zhuge Liang is more perfect than him in every aspect, and he is more careful. This is because Zhuge Liang is in charge of him. In addition, Zhuge Liang's generosity and understanding of the provision and distribution of money and food for the Privy Council are even more satisfying to him. .

"Greetings to the king, and the right minister," Zhuge Liang saluted respectfully.

"Kong Ming doesn't need to be too polite. You just said that you want to be destroyed, so how do you do it? After all, we are too far away from Jingzhou. If we fight, it will be a third-front battle, and the consumption will be too great." Yuan Xi asked with a smile.

"Your Majesty, Goguryeo has been calmed down. This is the Goguryeo signing contract sent by Jia Dudu." Zhuge Liang smiled immediately.

"It's settled." Yuan Xi immediately stood up happily, and after taking a look, he immediately laughed and said, "Okay, Wenhe is indeed a great talent, and now Goguryeo has become one of my big swallow grain stores."

"Your Majesty's colonial policy ministers have also read it. Although they are cruel to the outside world, they are truly benevolent to the people of Dayan. Jia Dudu will use half a month to completely control Goguryeo, and then send troops from Goguryeo to recover Sihan. The resources and population were really transported back from Goguryeo. The minister and the minister ordered the adults to discuss it. Youzhou is one of the king’s windows to the outside world, and it is also a land of potential dragons. However, the economic development is still not enough, and the number of people is far lower than the other three. State, so what Shangshutai means is to see if the first batch of resources and population brought back can be used to prosper Youzhou. For example, what the king said, the population plan, whoever has one more child, Dayan will compensate; The Goguryeo people carried out large-scale restoration of various official roads, as well as three protection plans for the sick and injured," Zhuge Liang said with a smile.

"Of course, especially the population plan, we must focus on it. No matter when, people are the first. If there are too many people, there will be more soldiers and more taxes. Why is it a colony for Goguryeo instead of direct income? One of them The most important reason is that the population is not enough, the people's lives are difficult, and they really can't afford to support an extra child." Yuan Xi said solemnly, the total population of the Han states today is estimated to not exceed 3000 million, which is compared to the tens of millions of people in his era. Hundreds of millions of people are too far apart.

"I understand, I will immediately formulate a strategy and submit it to the king," Zhuge Liang saluted.

"Okay." Yuan Xi smiled. Since Zhuge Liang entered Shangshutai, not only Han Yan has relaxed, but he is also extremely comfortable, because Zhuge Liang has done many things so perfectly that he doesn't need to bother at all.

"Kong Ming, just now you said that you want to shatter Cao Cao's plan, do you have any ideas?" At this time, Li Ru stood up and asked with a smile. He knew that Zhuge Liang was not only invincible in internal affairs, but also extremely resourceful in military strategy.

"Left Prime Minister, Cao Cao's most powerful thing is actually to coerce the emperor to order the princes. It is true what the king said. In Jingzhou's civil strife, Cao Cao can control the situation at will by relying on the emperor, and even send troops. Because Jingzhou does not have the strength of Dayan, he can ignore the emperor. So if If you want Cao Cao to give up this plan, you are the emperor," Zhuge Liang said seriously.

"Pursuing the Son of Heaven" Yuan Xi murmured, then nodded slightly, and when Li Ru beside him heard this, a cold light flashed in his eyes instantly.
