Cao Xiu smiled wryly and shook his head, but he didn't know that Liu Bei would be Cao Cao's great enemy during the period of the Three Kingdoms struggle for hegemony, and the two attacked each other's countless cities.

Of course, Cao Xiu will not tell all this. On the one hand, Cao Cao and others will not believe it even if he tells it. On the other hand, he does not want to change the track of historical development. Since such a development, it naturally has its reasons.

In the last years of the Eastern Han Dynasty, wars were raging, various places were in turmoil, large and small forces emerged in endlessly, and frictions between various forces continued. The Kanto Alliance, the nominal alliance for seeking Dong Dong, had already become shattered internally.

Sun Jian led his troops to attack Luoyang, but found that the city of Luoyang had already been shattered. Today's Luoyang City has only become a place for Dong Zhuo and the Kwantung Army to fight against the troops.

However, the contradictions of the Eighteenth Route princes came to the fore at this time. Although Sun Jian attacked Luoyang, the Eighteenth Route princes of the Kwantung Army had conflicts when they fought against Dong Zhuo.

From the initial crusade against Dong Zhuo together, it turned into attacking each other to seize territory for their own selfishness. The alliance against Dong Zhuo has not achieved great results for a long time. In addition, the princes from all walks of life have ulterior motives to open up territories for their own selfishness, so that the Kwantung Alliance is so fragmented. Let it go.

When Cao Xiu found out about this, his face was filled with a sneer. All of this was completely in his information. Although it was the Kanto Alliance, the eighteen princes were all on guard against each other in order to preserve their own strength.

It is precisely because of this that the princes have formed a lot of hatred, so that the princes have disputes, the flames of war, and the people everywhere are in dire straits!

"Master Sima, my lord invites you to discuss matters in the military tent!"

On this day, when Cao Xiu was checking the map of the territory occupied by various princes in the tent, the sentry came to the tent and sent news.

"Okay, I'll go right away!"

Although I don't know why Cao Cao sought him out, it must have something to do with the war-torn era. After all, it's either you or me among the princes. As for the future development, Cao Cao still needs to decide.

In any case, Cao Cao is the lord of the camp, and all the wealth and lives of the generals under his command are in his hands.

Chapter 68

Walking in the camp, Cao Xiu felt the bleak atmosphere, especially the battlefield filled with flames of war. His heart was filled with endless sadness. The princes only cared about dividing their own interests. In the end, only those who suffered the most were those living in the The lowest level of common people.

Cao Xiu knew that since Cao Cao summoned them, there was naturally an important matter to discuss, so Cao Xiu went directly to Cao Cao's military tent without the slightest hesitation!

"Xiuer, you are here, sit down quickly!"

After seeing Cao Xiu enter the army tent, Cao Cao's face was full of smiles and motioned Cao Xiu to sit down. Even though the current situation is very serious, seeing Cao Xiu still made him very happy. After all, Cao Xiu is his thousand-mile steed , as long as Cao Xiu exists, great things can be expected.

Not only Cao Cao, but all the generals in the military camp were full of respect after seeing Cao Xiu. Cao Xiu's illustrious reputation in this period of time was enough to make them look at him differently. After all, they were at Cao Xiu's age. But you can't do all of this.

"Uncle, what are you asking me to do?"

Cao Xiu originally thought that Cao Cao's matter of looking for him would not be trivial. After seeing the generals in the army tent, his doubts became more serious. As long as Cao Cao's powerful civil servants and generals were all present.

"Xiuer, it's like this. You should also be aware of the situation we are in now. The so-called alliance of the eighteenth princes begging for Dong has long been a joke. Now there are almost no princes left in the camp of the Kanto Alliance. Everyone is fighting for the territory, it can be said that it has really fallen apart completely, so I plan to leave and find a way out, after all, there is no point in staying here now."

"I don't know what's on your mind, Xio'er?"

Cao Xiu is very important in Cao Cao's heart, otherwise he would definitely not say these words to Cao Xiu tirelessly, which is completely impossible in normal times.

"Uncle, have you made a decision in your heart?"

Cao Xiu's face was full of doubts. He didn't understand why Cao Cao made this decision. In fact, in his opinion, there was no need to leave.

Even if the departure of the other princes is not a big problem for them, after all, they have never had a single heart from the beginning, and now their departure is a good thing, at least they don't have to worry about them suddenly targeting Cao Cao's power.

"Yeah, it doesn't make any sense to stay here now. If that's the case, we might as well leave first before planning big things."

This is a decision made by Cao Cao after careful consideration. In fact, he feels quite helpless in his heart. After all, he has not yet found a military adviser who can really advise him. All these can only be decided by himself, so he feels To a little tired.

As for the generals under his command, Cao Cao didn't entrust this kind of thing to them. If they were to go to the battlefield to kill the enemy, they would naturally be top fighters, but they felt very helpless when it came to making plans. .

After Cao Cao finished speaking, Xiahou's brother Dian Wei and the others stared at Cao Xiu closely. They were very curious about what advice Cao Xiu would give. After all, Cao Xiu held a very high position in their hearts. They naturally want to know their thoughts very much.

Chapter 69

Facing everyone's gaze, Cao Xiu didn't show any nervousness at all, and just expressed his thoughts in front of Cao Cao and others.

"Uncle, although your idea is very feasible, I think there may be a better route waiting for us!"

Cao Cao is the master no matter what, and Cao Xiu still has to take care of Cao Cao's emotions in terms of speaking, otherwise it will only make Cao Cao very embarrassed.

"Xiuer, tell me what's on your mind!"

Cao Cao stared at Cao Xiu with burning eyes, but he wanted to hear some feasible opinions from him. In fact, this was exactly the purpose of Cao Cao's invitation to come over.

Regardless of Cao Xiu's young age, he can always put forward some constructive opinions on some matters. After all, this matter is related to future development, and Cao Cao cannot be ignored. If he makes a wrong step, it may be for future The impact will be huge.

"Uncle, I don't think we should leave now. You should also be very clear that Dong Zhuo has left Luoyang to occupy Chang'an, and even the Luoyang left to us is just an abandoned city, but no matter what, Luoyang is rare. A stronghold, even if there is nothing in Luoyang City now, we can stay here."

"On the one hand, we can recruit troops nearby to strengthen our own power. On the other hand, the most important thing is that Dong Zhuo is currently entrenched in Chang'an. The purpose of our joining the eighteenth princes is to attack Dong Zhuo. In this case, we The most suitable place to be stationed is in Luoyang, we can completely repair and recruit troops near here!"

"The most important thing is that our ultimate goal is to defeat Dong Zhuo, and Luoyang is only four to five hundred kilometers away from Chang'an. We can stay here and watch the changes quietly. As long as there is any movement, we can dispatch at any time!"

This is what Cao Xiu thought, and it is also the most correct direction in history. At that time, it was because Cao Cao went to Yangzhou to recruit soldiers and horses. However, after Cao Xiu's argument, Yuan Shao and others were willing to compensate Cao Cao for his troops, horses, food, grass and supplies. This saved Cao Cao from going to Yangzhou to recruit soldiers and horses.

Dian Wei and the others nodded in agreement and looked at Cao Xiu full of admiration. Cao Xiu was not only superior in force, but also very far-sighted in resourcefulness.

"What do you think of Cao Xiujun Sima's suggestion?"

Cao Cao was a little tempted for a while. After all, even if he left, he didn't know where his destination would be. Cao Xiu's idea was undoubtedly in his favor. Perhaps it was the most correct choice to stay in the vicinity of Luoyang to repair and recruit troops.

"My lord, although I'm just a general of five ranks and three rough men, I think Cao Xiujun's Sima's proposal is quite good!"

Dian Wei can be said to be a loyal supporter of Cao Xiu. After all, Cao Xiu gave him the most suitable pair of iron halberds. He still has to support Cao Xiu in this matter, not to mention that Cao Xiu is completely for their development.

"Brother, I think Cao Xiu's suggestion is feasible, but as for how to choose, we still need to discuss carefully, after all, this kind of thing can't be careless!"

Cao Ren looked at Cao Xiu with satisfaction. Compared to others, Cao Xiu's suggestion was very feasible, and it was precisely because of this that they needed to discuss it carefully.
