The Warriors of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 188: Here Comes Cao Cao

Dongfang Sheng received a secret letter from the scout battalion in Nanpi City. After opening it, Dongfang Sheng frowned.

"What's the news, my lord?" Jia Xu, who was sitting beside him shaking a feather fan, asked.

Dongfang Sheng handed the deciphered secret letter to Jia Xu. After reading it, Jia Xu's face darkened and said, "Mr. Cao's visit this time is probably to find out the reality of the lord, and to understand the lord's ambition."

"What can I do?" Dongfang Sheng asked with a wry smile, "Can Wen He do something?"

Jia Xu put the secret letter into a copper basin beside it and burned it, then exhaled and said, "My lord, there is no need to worry. Mr. Cao is still weak, so he will definitely not attack you. What's more, if your lord is in Bohai County Station It might be a good thing for Mr. Cao to gain a firm foothold."

"Oh, how do you say that?" Dongfang Sheng asked a little puzzled, "Could it be that I occupy a place outside without restraint. On the contrary, it is a good thing for Duke Cao?"

Jia Xu shook his feather fan lightly and said, "Grandpa Cao's request is nothing more than a general who conquers the west, why should he care whether the lord occupies Bohai County or not? And once the lord occupies Bohai County, he can contain Yuan Shao and make Duke Cao Attacking Jizhou has something to rely on."

The generals who conquer the west are the generals who conquered the four generals under the four generals.

In the Han Dynasty, the order of military officers was established, and the general was the head of the generals, who was above the Sangong and could command the world's soldiers and horses.

And under the generals there are General Hussars, Generals Cheqi, General Wei, General Zhonglang and the Eighth Colonel of Xiyuan before it is the turn of the fourth general, and the general Sizheng is ranked after the fourth general. It can be said that Cao Cao's ideal at this time Not particularly high.

A person like Jia Xu can naturally see Cao Cao's heart. To be honest, I rarely have the goal of becoming emperor from the beginning, unless I am the prince of the dynasty. The National People's Congress is approached step by step, and ambitions have also increased little by little.

At this time, Cao Cao would never choose his goal as King Wei, because it did not match his current status and strength.

If it is in the later stage, it is because he does not want to be the king of Wei, and I am afraid that some people will rush to the court to ask Han Xiandi to make Cao Cao king.

Of course, Dongfang Sheng has some doubts about Jia Xu's words, because he knows that Cao Cao will be the Prime Minister Cao with power over the government in the future. Ambition is directly proportional to strength. Of course, he does not deny that Yuan Shu's lack of strength and ambition is still astonishing. The idiots exist.

Everyone in the world said that Cao Cao's coercion of the emperor to make the princes move well, but they didn't know that Yuan Shao and Sun Ce had thought about it before, but they couldn't do it because of various reasons.

This shows that there is no shortage of smart people in this world, but people who can eliminate interference and put actions into practice and succeed.

Cao Cao's welcome to the emperor was not everyone's approval, but he finally made up his mind to welcome the emperor, which made him a step ahead, and Yuan Shao's subordinate Jushou once suggested that Yuan Shao welcome the emperor, but Chun Yuqiong and others believed that it was necessary to revive the Han dynasty. It was difficult, and welcoming the Han Emperor would weaken his own power, so Yuan Shao was advised not to use this strategy, so Yuan Shao gave up.

Yuan Shao lost a first move, and eventually lost a mess. If he had followed Ju Shou's advice, Cao Cao would not have had anything to do with him.

Dongfang Sheng pondered for a while and said, "What if I welcome the Son of Heaven here?"

Didn't Cao Cao coerce the emperor to make the princes?Then if I grab this first move, I'm afraid he will lose his advantage.Dongfang Sheng thought about it.

Jia Xu quickly shook his head and persuaded, "If my lord has Yuan Benchu's background, or if he has the support of the Xun family like Cao Gong, I'm afraid he can also welcome the emperor, but it's a pity..."

"And welcoming the emperor is not a perfect solution." Jia Xu continued, "If you are willing to hand over power to the emperor, it's okay, but if you don't, how should the lord get along with the emperor, I'm afraid the lord will not be able to be safe after he goes to war. "

I have to say that Jia Xu is one of the top counselors in the Three Kingdoms. The disadvantages he mentioned are the difficulties Cao Cao faced later. Throughout his life, Cao Cao kept fighting openly and secretly with the royalists in the court, which led to him Missed several opportunities to dominate the world.

Dongfang Sheng had thought of kidnapping the Son of Heaven before, but according to Jia Xu's analysis, there are only two people who are suitable to coerce the Son of Heaven to make the princes, one is Yuan Shao, the fourth generation and three princes, and the other is Cao Cao. No one is capable, and Dong Zhuo and Li Jue are good representatives in history.

"My lord, Zhao Yun and Zhang He should each lead their soldiers to train in the school grounds." Jia Xu said his thoughts, "This way Duke Cao can show him the mighty posture of the soldiers when he comes."

"Wouldn't this let him know about my ambitions?" Dongfang Sheng asked with some doubts, "Will Duke Cao become wary of me?"

"My lord, if you hide and be clumsy, I'm afraid Cao Gong will be suspicious. Cao Cao is suspicious by nature. If he knows that you are hiding, he will be on guard. If you show it generously, I'm afraid you will win his approval instead."

"Well, Wen He's words are reasonable." Dongfang Sheng turned and left immediately, "I'll call Zhao Yun and the others over."

Just as Dongfang Sheng let Zhao Yun and Zhang Yun enter the school grounds with their respective soldiers, Cao Cao and Wei Qi wandered over.

As soon as Wei Ji saw the group of energetic soldiers behind Zhao Yun and Zhang He, he immediately whispered next to Cao Cao: "The soldiers of General Fenwu are quite energetic."

Wei Ke's words seemed to praise Dongfang Sheng's soldiers, but in fact they had sinister intentions, trying to arouse Cao Cao's suspicion of Dongfang Sheng.

How could Cao Cao not know?However, as Jia Xu said, if Dongfang Sheng could hide it, maybe he would be suspicious, but Dongfang Sheng is now showing his strength without reservation. Cao Cao naturally would not doubt it, and even praised it a little.

"Tenglong's military training is really good." Cao Cao said with a smile.

"My lord, Master Zheng has changed the wording to Meng Ren for me." Dongfang Sheng glanced at Wei Ke, "This is the double stirrup I designed, please appreciate it, my lord."

Dongfang Sheng said that when Zheng Xuan changed the wording for himself, the corners of Wei Ke's eyes twitched visibly.

The improved stirrup held by Dongfang Sheng immediately attracted Cao Cao's attention. After Dongfang Sheng ordered his own soldiers to bring Cao Cao a war horse, Cao Cao got on it and rode for a while, and immediately got off the horse.

"This thing can help our army to kill the enemy more effectively." Cao Cao naturally understood the value of this thing during his military career, and he said a little excitedly: "I will definitely reward you, Meng Ren, Meng Ren, you are really good!" It is my arm."

Although Dongfang Sheng didn't know how much truth there was in Cao Cao's words, seeing Cao Cao's expression made people feel very comfortable. This was probably Cao Cao's personal charm.
