Three Kingdoms: I Have a Showdown, I Am Cao Cao

Taoism, isn't this just fooling the ignorant people?

What fire virtue, soil virtue, what fire generates soil!

If the Five Elements and Eight Trigrams can control the fate of the dynasty, then all the princes will not fight, everyone will read the "Book of Changes", go to alchemy, and study Tai Chi to produce two yi, two yi to produce four images, and four images to produce gossip. .

Thinking of this, Cao Cao waved his hands again and again.Brother Yi, you can't believe the doctrine of the warlocks!

Concealed brother, it doesn't matter if I believe it or not.Yi Xiaotian smiled slightly, and turned his eyes to the window, towards the direction of Jianghuai.The key is that some people believe it, and some people will use these to deceive the ignorant and ignorant people!

Is Brother Yi referring to Yuan Shu?

Cao Cao read Yuan Shu's name, and for a moment, he really hesitated. He pondered that Yuan Shu had been arrogant and arrogant since he was a child, and he used his identity as the Yuan family's direct son to make a fortune.

If it is said that with a twitch of the head, I really went to be emperor, it is not too surprising...

However, as soon as this idea came to the surface, Cao Cao immediately rejected it. Only such a stupid person can do such a stupid thing, disregarding the sacred values ​​that have been deeply rooted in the great man for hundreds of years, and just... just... go to forcibly proclaim himself emperor.

After all, Yuan Shu has been educated by Taixue for ten years, and his loyalty to the emperor and patriotism should be deeply ingrained in his bones. He shouldn't be able to do such a stupid thing as an emperor, right?

Brother Yi?I think you're overthinking it?Cao Cao asked a question...

suspicious?

Yi Xiaotian smiled slightly, shook his head, pinched his fingers and calculated, figuring out in his heart that the matter of proclaiming emperor is only a few days away, almost.

The mouth is very sure to reply.

Brother lie, the world is full of wonders, and it is not surprising that there is a person who is a brainless emperor and brings disaster to himself. It is not surprising, not to mention...

Yi Xiaotian deliberately sold a pass.

Cao Cao's ears could not wait to stick to Yi Xiaotian's mouth.What's more?

What's more, the third rumor, the legendary jade seal of the country reappeared in the Jianghuai area, doesn't this corroborate the fact that Yuan Shu is about to become emperor?The more he talked, the more determined Yi Xiaotian's tone became.

However, Cao Cao still has many doubts.

Not to mention anything else, how come the jade seal of the country is in the Jianghuai generation?

Brother Yi?The jade seal of the state that you mentioned was engraved by Prime Minister Li Si with Lantian jade, and the one with eight small characters in seal script on the inscription 'Ordered by Heaven, both Shou Yongchang'?

Exactly!Yi Xiaotian answered without hesitation.

That's not right!Cao Cao shook his head, his eyes opened slightly, and his eyes were full of doubts.Back then, when the eighteen princes formed the Kwantung Allied Army to attack Dong Zhuo, Sun Jian took the lead and broke into Luoyang. There were rumors that the National Jade Seal was captured by him.

Concealed brother, you only know one thing and don't know the other, or you know the face but not the heart!

Yi Xiaotian smiled lightly, this time he was laughing at Cao Cao's stupidity and naivety, cuteness and simplicity.

It has long been rumored that after Sun Jian captured Luoyang, he fished out the Imperial Jade Seal from a dry well. Yuan Shao, the leader of the alliance, asked him for it.

However, Yuan Shu was extremely obsessed with this imperial jade seal, how could he be reconciled?So, he first worked with Liu Biao to kill Sun Jian, and then he incorporated Sun Jian's old department, put Sun Jian's widow Mrs. Wu under house arrest, and forced the Sun family to hand over the jade seal.

In order to survive, the Sun family had to return the Imperial Jade Seal to Yuan Shu... Therefore, the Imperial Jade Seal is really in the Jianghuai area now!

Yi Xiaotian told Cao Cao the story in detail...

In the first half, Cao Cao had heard of it. As for the content of the latter, it seems that Yuan Shu kept the news very well and did not publicize it.

I never thought that such obscure news, Brother Yi knew so clearly.

No wonder... Cao Cao was thoughtful.I also wondered how Yuan Shu was not a generous person, so how could he return the soldiers and horses to Sun Ce's old army!

Cao Cao was sighing here, but Yi Xiaotian raised his brows and asked.

Concealed brother, I have explained these three rumors and prophecies one by one, you taste, you taste carefully!Now?Concealed brother think?Will Yuan Shu become emperor?

You are a genius, remember for a second:

Chapter [-] How many people are called emperors and how many people are called kings

hiss…

All of a sudden, Cao Cao hesitated. You said that Yuan Shu would not be an emperor. He used prophecies, studied the five elements and gossip, and even made out the jade seal of the country. Which of these signs is not Yuan Shu's wolf son's ambitions are obvious. evidence?

Can you really call yourself a god?

How much courage does this take?In other words, how much brain-dead people can do such a "hurry" thing with IQ.

Cao Cao shook his head, he didn't believe it, he still couldn't believe it, Cao Cao was certain that Yuan Shu's IQ was not so low.

Cao Cao was still thinking.

Suddenly, several guests rushed into the restaurant.

They wore thick leather jackets, their cheeks were covered with frost and cold, and they also had a little moisture unique to Jianghuai. It seemed that they came from the south.

Seeing their faces clearly, Yi Xiaotian reached out and said hello.

The visitor is very familiar, and is considered a regular customer. Yi Xiaotian has talked with the visitor several times and knows that he is a businessman who travels from the Central Plains to the Jianghuai and is engaged in aquatic business.

"The shopkeeper, bring two catties of mutton and scald a pot of soju..."

The visitor also recognized Yi Xiaotian and shouted loudly.

"Good!" Yi Xiaotian responded, and immediately beckoned, and his own restaurant staff went down to handle it.

"How's the aquatic business doing recently? Look at this dude? Have you made a fortune?" Yi Xiaotian asked casually.

how do you know...

"Ugh…"

The visitor let out a long sigh, and the whole person looked downcast.

"Don't mention it, Yuan Shu became emperor in Shouchun, and now, those who come from the south and the north have to pay him an offering, alas, because of this offering, not only did I not earn a cent, but instead I have lost everything! I have escaped from Huainan, otherwise, I still don’t know how Yuan Shu, the pseudo-emperor of the Zhong family, is going to exploit us!”

It doesn't matter if you don't make a cent or lose everything.

What made Cao Cao's whole body tremble was the first half of the sentence - Yuan Shu became emperor!Also... what is he calling himself the Emperor of the Zhong family!

Huo…

Brother Yi's words are true, really...really...really expected, Cao Cao was completely shocked!

Yuan Shu's behavior is like a mad dog biting the sun - I don't know how high the sky is!

It's like an old sow climbing a tree - an ugly flower.

It's like a toad eating garlic - a big breath.

Yuan Shu... Yuan Shu really became emperor?Cao Cao was incredulous, but from the helpless eyes he could see, every word he said was not made up casually.

"Huo, God's sins can be forgiven, Yuan Shu is self-inflicted and can't live..." Cao Cao whispered this sentence.

The voice was very small, but Yi Xiaotian sat opposite him and could hear it clearly.

"Hidden brother...how about it? Am I right? Yuan Shu really became emperor!" Yi Xiaotian's tone was still calm, his eyes were as calm as lake water, as if everything that happened was logical. ! "I'll just say, the world is so big that there are no wonders, and it's not surprising that there is an occasional 'floored in a thatched hut, not far from death'."

huh... huh...

Cao Cao You exhaled, and after ten breaths, his mood was calm.

He stretched his neck and put his head in front of Yi Xiaotian's face.

"Brother Yi? I just don't understand it, how could this handsome Yuan Shu become emperor?"

"This one?"

As soon as Yi Xiaotian waved his hand, he immediately replied without thinking.

"Yuan Shu's temperament? Haven't you heard of Brother Hide? He is arrogant and selfish, and he claims to be the heir of the Yuan family's roots."

"But what about now? His elder brother Yuan Shao has been named a general, one person is more than ten thousand people. He Yuan Shu looked down on this elder brother since he was a child, and even threatened that Yuan Shao was not a member of the Yuan family at all. Yuan Shao is about to ride on his head to make a fortune, how can he bear it? But if he wants to gain a higher status than a general, then only the emperor is left!"

"Besides, Yuan Shu is not very talented, but he is still very ambitious. Now he has soldiers, generals, and territory? How can he have no name, no shares, and no cards? Coveting the sacred throne to forcefully become emperor, such a brain-dead It's nothing to do with other people, Yuan Shu, if he wants to do it, it can only be mediocre, mediocre!"

Huo…

After being explained by Yi Xiaotian like this, Cao Cao understood. He was completely transparent. He felt that in the past, he still looked down on this eldest son of the Yuan family, this old classmate of Taixue.

Dare to love, this thing is a pit, not only to pit others, but also to himself, it is simply that there is a way to heaven or not to go, and there is no way to hell to break in.

and many more…

Cao Cao suddenly thought of something, and he frowned.

No wonder, Brother Yi mentioned before that the priority now is Yuan Shu in Huainan.

Whenever Yuan Shu became emperor, Cao Cao's next strategy would have no choice at all.Attack Xuzhou?What are the stalls now?Where can we take care of Xuzhou?

When Yuan Shu becomes emperor, the entire world will focus on Xudu.

He Cao Cao welcomed the princes of the emperor, and while enjoying many benefits, he also assumed the responsibility of rectifying the orthodoxy of the Han Dynasty.

If someone in the world is proclaimed emperor, but he does not move, becoming the laughing stock of the world is the second most important thing.

At that time, I didn't know how many people in the world would be called kings and how many people would be emperors!

This is a battle about Cao Cao's reputation and the prestige of the imperial court. Cao Cao has no choice. Now he can only send troops to Huainan to conquer Yuan Shu and restore the orthodox.

but…

The truth is such a truth, and it is not difficult to implement it.

Thinking of this, Cao Cao felt a little headache.

Conquering Yuan Shu is much more difficult than Xuzhou closing the net. First, Yuan Shu's strength is not weak, and many warlords in Jiangnan's territory are attached to him.

Even the little overlord Sun Ce, who had gradually become famous recently, was nominally a vassal of his Yuan Shu.

If Cao Cao's army is attacking Yuan Shu, these little princes who are attached to him come to help, then his Cao Cao's troops will be surrounded by many.

What's more, there is a report from Xuzhou City recently, Yuan Shu proposed to Lv Bu, and Yuan Shu's son is going to marry Lu Bu's daughter. With such a marriage, Yuan Shu won't get the support of Xuzhou Lu Bu, and it will become even more powerful!

call…

Thinking of this, Cao Cao wiped away his sweat!

Although it was very difficult, he still tried his best to calm down and think carefully.

Second, even if they were going to go out, the battle line would probably be very long. Xu Ducheng was not too close to Shouchun City, so it was only a long distance march, but there was a Chen Kingdom with a hundred thousand troops in the middle.

According to reliable information, Liu Chong, the lord of Chen State, has a very close relationship with Yuan Shu, which is also a huge hidden danger.

Coupled with the supply of grain and grass, it took less than a year for the entire Central Plains to implement the farmland system, and the grain reserves were not enough to support such a long expedition!

Thirdly, since Yuan Shu dared to become emperor, he would definitely make some preparations, especially the threat from Xuchang.
