Chapter 720 Why Are You Asking Me?
"If I remember correctly, after Lu Bu entered Yanzhou, he worshiped Chen Gongtai as his military adviser. This man is far-reaching and resourceful, and he is also a generation of military adviser. Good generals have a good opportunity to go on an expedition to Xuzhou, but they still haven’t captured the eastern part of Yanzhou?” Although Ma Chao said this, he knew in his heart that it would be very difficult for Lu Bu to make his way without his own backup.

Because Ma Chao knew that Lu Bu had a fatal flaw, that is, he never really had the heart of a prince.The hearts of the princes are neither ruthless nor righteous, nor do they follow the heavens and the earth.The hearts of the princes need to balance yin and yang, figure out the hearts of the people, and more importantly, everything is based on the foundation.

Lu Bu had never had a foundation, so naturally he didn't know how to figure it out, let alone balance.On this road, he, a toddler, is far behind Cao Cao, a talented villain.And the most obvious point is that Lu Bu doesn't know how to call counselors.Even, he might not even realize the shocking effect of the counselor.

Therefore, what Ma Chao said, he actually wanted to know more about the dynamics of Yanxu and Xuzhou.After all, when he marched to Liangzhou in the west, Ma Chao planned to make a quick decision. Even if it was impossible to send troops to Yanzhou in person, he also wanted to remotely control Lv Bu after he arrived in Chang'an.

Sure enough, after hearing Ma Chao's words, Xun You said, "My lord, I have carefully analyzed the matter of Lu Cao when my lord sent troops. But looking at it now, everything is within expectation."

"Gongda speaks frankly," Ma Chao stretched out his hand, then looked at Guo Jia, Yang Fu, Li Ru, and Yang Xiu, and said in the same way: "If you listen to both, you will be clear, and if you listen to one side, you will be dark. The matters of Yanxu and Xuzhou are the most relevant. When you come to the Ma family's policy and strategy for next year, if you feel something, you can speak freely."

The four agreed, and after hearing what Ma Chao said, they sat down on the floor.But Xun You stepped forward and said: "Chen Gong is upright and upright, and he can't rub the sand in his eyes. Although Cao Cao has outstanding ingenuity and strategy, his domineering heart runs counter to Chen Gong's original intention. Killing celebrities and massacring Xuzhou made Chen Gong He was alienated from Cao Cao. Therefore, Chen Gong joined forces with Zhang Miao to rebel against Cao Cao."

After saying this, Ma Chao nodded very much.Although Ma Chao understood Cao Cao's situation in Xuzhou very well, in the eyes of a counselor like Chen Gong who hadn't really integrated into the Cao family, Cao Cao was simply a worse beast than Dong Zhuo back then.

Coincidentally, both Tao Qian and Bian Rang were friends with Chen Gong. Cao Cao offended all of Chen Gong's friends and fellow villagers at once, so why would Chen Gong not be ashamed?Therefore, Cao Cao has kept a lot of secrets in this matter, and Liu Xie, who is familiar with history, cannot remind Cao Cao too much of this.

Because Chen Gong did a very good job under Cao Cao before.When Cao Cao sent troops to Xuzhou, he handed over [-] soldiers and horses to defend Hebei and Qingzhou to Chen Gong, which shows Cao Cao's trust in Chen Gong.And Liu Xiong Cao Cao's death is a relationship of mutual prosperity and cooperation, so it is naturally impossible to blame Cao Cao for employing people.

"However, as my lord said, Chen Gong was too late to think about it, and he was lucky." After saying this, Xun You couldn't help but glance at Ma Chao. He was in awe of Ma Chao's knowledge of the world's capable men.Afterwards, he recalled the battle situation in Yanzhou, and then continued: "As I expected, Chen Gong wanted to attack Cao Cao after conspiring to capture Zhencheng, Puyang, Fancheng, and Dong'a. But I didn't expect that, so As soon as I came, I just missed the opportunity..."

Hearing this, Ma Chao quickly looked through the report and found that Lu Bu did a good job tactically after igniting Yanzhou with the momentum of a prairie fire.But in terms of strategy, Chen Gong offered a plan to trick Zhang Miao into getting Zhen Cheng over, but it fell short.

Before raising the army, Chen Gong asked Zhang Miao to send a letter to Xun Yu saying that the soldiers of Dongjun were handed over to Lu Bu to help Cao Cao attack Xuzhou.In order to confuse the real with the fake, he also asked Xun Yu to prepare military rations and set off immediately after allocating them to Lu Bu.

However, such a little trick, how can you hide it from Xun Yu, who is like a god?As a result, Xun Yu immediately saw that this was Zhang Miao's treasonous plan, and while guarding against it, he hurriedly called Xia Houchun to come over to help.Xia Houchun led his cronies to rush there and killed several military officers who wanted to respond to Zhang Miao, and the civil strife in Zhencheng temporarily subsided.

"Chen Gong's move, to be fair, is not a bad move." Ma Chao frowned after reading this passage, and commented: "Xun Yu guarded the base camp of Zhencheng, but because of this, no one guarded Puyang. Then Lu Bu Qingqi charged in and Xingye broke through, which is considered a small victory."

"That's right, the uncle of the family may not have expected the power of Lv Bu's military strategy. But if it was designed by me, it will definitely change quickly and attack the vital points! With heavy troops in hand, we will take the lead in breaking through Zhencheng, shaking Cao Cao's foundation, and then devouring it to stabilize the situation. Yanzhou..." Speaking of this, Xun You couldn't help showing a trace of regret.Presumably, he regretted that he did not fight Xun Yu.

"Gongda's words are justified." Yang Xiu couldn't help but said after hearing the battle report, "Chen Gong was too cautious and failed to hit the vital point directly. It's extremely unwise for a small loss to make a big mistake!"

"No." Ma Chao shook his hand, because the following information made Ma Chao realize that everyone's view of Chen Gong was too one-sided: "Chen Gong gathered the governor of Yuzhou to attack Zhencheng and coerced the family of Fancheng county guards to go to Fancheng... such a method, look at it." The person who came to Chen Gong is a person who makes decisions before acting. If so, we can quickly pacify Yanzhou, and Cao Cao in Xuzhou can be dealt a serious blow when Cao Cao can't react in time!"

After Ma Chao said this, Xun You closed his eyes and thought for a moment.Suddenly, I also felt that I had some hindsight.From this, Xun You said: "My lord's words are very true. I only underestimated Chen Gong because of the outcome. Thinking about it carefully, Chen Gongtai is indeed a generation of military advisors."

"However, the plan can't keep up with the changes. Chen Gong must have never expected that his plan would be broken by Cao Cao's two sea-fixing needles..." Ma Chao dejectedly put down the report in his hand. The above news is indeed not good news:

After Lu Bu rebelled against Cao Cao, Guo Gong, the governor of Yuzhou, led 4 people to Zhencheng in response to Zhang Miao's appeal.There are not many defensive troops in Zhencheng, and if this team unites with Lu Bu, Zhencheng, and even the entire Yanzhou, can be decided in one battle!

However, Xun Yu lived up to Cao Cao's high expectations, and met Guo Gong alone before the battle. Knowing the situation, he hoped that Guo Gong would remain neutral, and we would remain friends when we meet again.Sure enough, Xun Yu's immortal tongue worked. Seeing Xun Yu's confident appearance, Guo Gong thought that Zhencheng was also very powerful, and he might hurt his own bones, so he led the army and stayed with the family.

The reason why Xun Yu dared to do this was that Xun Yu knew that Guo Gong and Zhang Miao had nothing to do with each other, they didn't have a deep friendship, and they didn't communicate much, so they could try to persuade him to go home and stay.

Please rest up with Zhencheng.As for Fan Cheng, Chen Gong used even more ruthless tricks.First of all, he asked Lu Bu to arrest the family members of the defending general Jin Yun, including his mother, wife, concubine and children, and told Jin Yun that if he did not surrender, he would tear up his votes.Secondly, a guy named Fan Yi was sent to do the persuasion work.One hand is hard, the other is soft, this method is really good.

This time it was Cao Cao's other great advisor, Cheng Yu, who was the first to turn the tide.When Cao Cao heard of the mutiny in Yanzhou in Xuzhou, he immediately sent Cheng Yu back with an army of [-], but he did not send a brave general first.

The reason for this arrangement is that Cheng Yu is both civil and military, bold and resourceful, not only very good at diplomatic work, but also able to lead troops to fight. It is Cao Cao's career that has decisive influence on his left and right hands.After Cheng Yu flew to Yanzhou, he ordered heavy troops to block the East Adu Bridge and restrain Chen Gong's troops.And he himself started a fierce battle with his tongue when he entered Fancheng.

Jin Yun's heart was originally for Cao Cao, and after Cheng Yu's foresight and discussion of the matter, he personally beheaded Fan Yi, a lobbyist in the post station, to show that he would stick to the city.On the Dong'e county magistrate Zaoyi's side, Cheng Yu's army came to help, and the whole city was mobilized, ready to give it a go.

In this way, the three counties of Zhencheng, Dong'e, and Fancheng were successfully defended, allowing Cao Cao to have a rebel base in Yanzhou, while Lu Bu gained Puyang, but there was not enough food and grass in the city.Xia Houchun garrisoned in the field outside Puyang City, entangled with Lu Bu, waiting for Cao Cao's arrival.

Listening to the situation in Yanzhou, everyone couldn't help sighing.After Xun You recalled it again, he felt that the situation in Yanzhou was turbulent, and he could not draw conclusions based on his own guesswork.From this, Xun You said: "My lord, according to my opinion, Chen Gong planned every step of the way to plan for Yanzhou by himself. Even if he lost, he would be honored. But why did my lord say that Chen Gong was too late to think about it?"

Ma Chao was taken aback, then looked at Xun You strangely: You said what you said about Chen Gong in history, why did you come here to ask me?
