People wrote diaries in the Three Kingdoms, and Cao Cao became paralyzed.

Although

He was able to see the contents of Lin An's diary.

But in the past few days, the content of Lin An's diary has become more and more watery, and there is almost no information worth using.

Yet

Cao Cao also came to his senses.

Why did you have to wait for Lin An to write a diary?

Now that Lin An is already his sworn brother, just ask directly?

This is not an idea that Cao Cao has only come up with now.

I actually had it before I met Lin An.

But with Chen Gong along the way, it was not good for him to chat with Lin An alone in private.

Coupled with the hurry, Cao Cao actually held back all the way.

I just put it off until now to ask.

Although some things made Chen Gong not a big deal.

But Cao Cao felt that this was a secret that belonged to the two brothers, and he wanted to hear Lin An's truest thoughts outside the diary.

Chen Gong is an outsider after all.

After thinking for a moment and going through the matter of Cao Cao's princes begging Dong in his mind, Lin An said:

"Uprising, recruiting troops, courting thieves, there is nothing wrong with this route."

"However, I suggest that the eldest brother does not need to get up too hopeful."

"Don't get your hopes up?"

Cao Cao frowned and looked at Lin An suspiciously.

In Lin An's diary

It is also written that the princes begged Dong, but it is not written whether Dong Zhuo was destroyed.

Now Lin An said this, doesn't it mean...

Lin An smiled and continued to ask

"If the princes of the world gather together, does the eldest brother think that Dong Zhuo can be destroyed?"

Cao Cao nodded

"If you work together to beg the thief, Dong Zhuo will be careful."

Lin An asked again

"Does the eldest brother think that the hearts of all the princes will be aligned?"

Cao Cao's body was stunned, and he immediately knew what Lin An wanted to express.

There was a little more wry smile on his face.

"Nope!"

Without even thinking too much, Cao Cao was able to give this answer.

When he is a prince today, he Cao Cao is not just ignorant.

This is also why he has been plotting to assassinate Dong before.

If it weren't for Lin An's diary, he probably really stabbed Dong Zhuo.

And listen to Lin An's meaning.

The princes really failed to woo Dong.

Immediately asked:

"So what do we do?"

"We are only revolting now, and there is no way to recruit more soldiers on a large scale in a short period of time."

"Moreover, the food and grass are limited, and the crusade against Dong Zhuo is imminent, and he will participate in this doomed alliance?"

For a while

Cao Cao was a little hesitant.

Since you know that you are going to lose, what are you doing with this excitement?

Lin An shook his head with a smile and explained

"It is precisely because we have few people that the alliance must participate."

"Although the allies have a high probability of not winning, they occupy the world's righteousness."

"The eldest brother Luoyang assassinated Dong, and was wanted by Dong Zhuo using the edict of the Son of Heaven, and took the first step of fame."

"The next step is to completely consolidate this reputation, so that more talents can come and go."

"At this time, go to ask Dong's army to show his face, this time among the alliance army, there is no lack of people of insight, it is the opportunity for the eldest brother to perform."

Listening to Lin An's explanation, Cao Cao's heart was much more comfortable.

But he also nodded in agreement.

Indeed

Isn't it for this that it took so much thought and so much time?

The first step has now been achieved, and if this second step is changed, the layout of the first step will be wasted.

Lin An continued:

"After the alliance, the eldest brother can continue to recruit troops, and there is no need to even bring all the people with him, and when the time comes, leave a group of people to continue to recruit troops and secretly accumulate strength."

"When the eldest brother's reputation among the allies gradually grows and stabilizes, it will also attract more talents and soldiers to come to help."

"At that time, when the contradictions within the allied forces intensify, we have accumulated a certain amount of battle merits, plus the reputation of the eldest brother, at least one county will definitely be able to be under our command."

"With territory and population, it is equivalent to having money and food, a place for soldiers to replenish, and a real place to make a fortune."

"When the time comes, dig deep holes, accumulate grain, build high walls, slow down... Slow down the picture. "

Dig deep holes, accumulate grain, build high walls, and slow down.

When Lin An said this, Cao Cao's mind suddenly came alive, and his eyes were even brighter.

First figure the land of one county, then two counties, three counties, one state, two states, and finally the whole world.

Another thoughtful idea.

But...

Such a good opportunity is in front of him, such a big opportunity, just trying to plot such a little, Cao Cao is somewhat unwilling.

Among the Allies

There should be people who want to annihilate Dong Zhuo, right?

If they can unite, they are not without the power of a war.

If you can't get rid of Dong Zhuo this time, what chance can you have in the future?

Looking at the silent Cao Cao

Lin An did not continue.

The alliance is among the directors

Cao Cao actually did his best.

It's a pity that the princes of the eighteen towns each have ghosts, and the two brothers Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu didn't think of really wooing Dong from the beginning, just wanted to use this courtship to strengthen their own strength.

As far as Cao Cao's current family background, facing Dong Zhuo's army alone, he couldn't play at all.

I thought about it for a while

Only then did Cao Cao slow down, his gaze fell on Lin An again, and he continued to ask:

"Second brother..."

"Huh?"

Lin An answered.

Cao Cao asked with a somewhat complicated expression

"Do you think this big man can still be saved?"

I remember that Lin An's diary mentioned that in Lin An's title, it is now the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty.

Is it meant

Is the big man really going to die?

Listening to Cao Cao's words, Lin An was a little surprised.

But it was immediately reactioned.

The current Cao Cao actually has a little luck for the big man.

If he can save him, it is estimated that no one wants to overthrow him.

But

What Cao Cao saw now was only one prince after another pressing in front of him like a big mountain.

There is no hope at all.

After thinking for a while, Lin An asked

"Why do you have to save it?"

“......"

As soon as these words came out, Cao Cao was directly stunned in place.

My heart exploded like a bomb.

Why do you have to save?

There can be many answers, such as for the country and the people, for the people of the world, for the king's social welfare, and for living up to the king's grace.

But

What if you don't save it?

Cao Cao was ambitious, and naturally knew that Lin An's words of not saving did not mean to give up.

I remember Lin An wrote in his diary

'The roots of the great man are rotten, but they can't be saved by killing one or two people.' ’

So

Is this Lin An's answer?
