Cultivate confidants, form cliques, dominate one side, the country among the country, hire official positions without organization or discipline...

Even when Lin Chen, the confidant of the current "Emperor", led his troops into Luo, he wanted to raise the flag to fight...

It can be said.

Any of the above points, as long as you get involved in the peace era, at least you will have to end up with the three tribes of the Yi tribes.

Even if you die, you will still be despised by the world.

But now it is a chaotic world!

Cao Cao was originally a prince. To be honest, he was even more powerful than Liu Bei's before.

If it weren't for Liu Xie's sudden death and Cao Cao, who had a 300,000 army in his hand, would have been two points ahead of Liu Bei even in the court.

Therefore, all of his above crimes can be said to be unfair.

In a sense, he is even gathering his own power now.

The placement of a close confidant in a critical position can be directly explained that he is for the sake of protecting himself.

But this alone is not the reason why Lin Chen is overjoyed.

What made him most overjoyed was that in Cao Cao's memorials, he pushed all of them to the court.

For example, Xun Yu praised him in his memorials, as if not entering the court and not holding official positions in the six ministries is a great waste...

certainly.

If someone wants to explain it separately, Cao Cao's move to introduce Xun Yu as:

He wanted to maintain his influence in the court after he left Heluo.

Just like in history, he pushed Xun Yu to Liu Xie.

But this is nothing wrong.

After all, Cao Cao still held an army of 300,000 at this time.

As for such troops, even in the peacetime, even if you encounter a hero like Emperor Wu of Han, you still have to give him some face, right?

What's more, he also recommended Dong Zhao, Le Jin, Yu Jin, Li Zheng and others.

From this recommended list, especially when Li Zheng was on this list, Cao Cao's intention to shrink his strategy was almost as open and honest as he showed.

"good!"

After reading the memorial, Lin Chen couldn't help but cheer: "Wenhe is indeed the genius of the world, but he actually took Cao Cao..."

"Take it? Not sure?"

Jia Xu couldn't help but curl his lips, saying, "He has almost never moved his core, how can he win it?"

"The key is Li Zheng."

Lin Chen smiled and pointed to the list and said, "If I remember correctly this Li Zheng, he should have been from the Li family of Chengshi County..."

Jia Xu sat down slowly, and said with a blank expression: "What is the connection?"

“The connection is too big!”

Lin Chen had not found the problem yet and said with a smile: "Li Chi's father is Li Qian, who is known to have thousands of diners. In his early years, he followed Cao Cao to fight on the battlefield and made military achievements..."

"Of course, these are not the most critical."

"The most important thing is..."

He elongated his voice, looked at Jia Xu, and slowly said: "When Lu Bu invaded Yanzhou, Cao Cao and Xun Yu each protected one city, and Li Chi's father Li Qian also helped him protect Cheng's family."

"Even... if I remember correctly, a fierce man in the Li family defeated Lu Bu, who was extremely powerful!"

Jia Xu couldn't help but say, "That person should be Li Jinxian. His ability to defend the city is almost as good as that of Lin Ziyuan."

"Wenhe knows this person?"

Lin Chen was overjoyed and said, "Is that okay..."

"No!"

"If you want this person to come out, unless the world is settled, otherwise... he will only continue to run the family."

Jia Xu guessed Lin Chen’s intention as soon as he heard this, and quickly shook his head and sighed.

"oh?"

After considering for a moment, Lin Chen asked, "Is this person an ambitious person? Or Chen Deng, or a person like that?"

“None are not.”

Jia Xu shook his head and said, "This person once predicted that in the future, he would be a noble family and a great family, so he only wanted to develop a family."

When he said this, he couldn't help but look at Lin Chen.

In Jia Xu's opinion, the world would indeed gradually tilt towards the aristocratic family, but with the appearance of Lin Chen, the monster, it would be hard to say.

"What a pity."

"Let's go back to Li's..."

Lin Chen sighed and continued: "At that time, after Li defeated Lu Bu, he once stationed troops in Shanyang..."

"Next, I don't need to continue talking. Wenhe should understand, right?" He said at this point, he looked at Jia Xu.

Jia Xu nodded slowly and said, "The move to station troops in Shanyang can be said to be the Li family who helped Cao Cao open half of the Qingzhou gate."

"Yes, the gate of Qingzhou was pushed open halfway by Li..."

Lin Chen also said with emotion: "It can be said that as long as Cao Cao can continue to reuse the people of the Li family, once he has a conflict with Yuan Shao in the future, Li family will help him quickly win half of Qingzhou. At that time... he will be able to gain a certain strategic lead."

If there was no Lin Chen.

History will continue to develop according to its original trajectory...

As soon as Cao Cao first competed with Yuan Shao, Li Zhen was appointed as the governor of Qingzhou.

There is this in.

Not to mention anything else, at least Yuan Shao could not crush Cao Cao from two routes (Qingzhou).

At that moment.

The battle of Guandu will proceed as if it were established.

“But now…”

Thinking of the original history, Lin Chen took a deep breath and said, "Cao Cao pushed Li Zheng, or the entire Li family, to His Majesty, almost cutting off the possibility of himself advancing east again."

"Ziyuan was wrong about this."

Jia Xu continued to ask with a blank expression: "With Cao Cao's ability, it is not too difficult to move eastward, right?"

"I have never doubted Cao Cao's ability."

Lin Chen affirmed: "But Wenhe should not forget that war will cause damage. If you use the power of a state to attack a state, you will always hurt your vitality."

"Actually, what I can't understand is why Cao Cao gave up the opportunity to advance east so decisively?"

As he said that, he looked at Jia Xu: "Wenhe may help me solve my doubts?"

"Yuan Shao." Jia Xu slowly spit out two words.

Then, he asked in a plain tone: "Ziyuan shouldn't think that Cao Cao has given up on fighting for hegemony?"

"So that's it, so that's it!" Lin Chen stood up excitedly.

"in addition……"

Lin Chen, who knew Cao Cao, thought about it and said, "I might not be sure before, but now, I can answer you with certainty that Cao Cao... has absolutely no intention of giving up fighting for hegemony!"

To be honest, before, he really thought Cao Cao gave up fighting for hegemony.

But as Jia Xu spoke Yuan Shao's name, Lin Chen instantly understood.

Who is Yuan Shao?

Northern overlord.

Facing such a person, even Liu Bei, who was the emperor, still had to give him some face.

Although, Liu Bei faced different situations.

And to show that he is not a puppet.

He could not give General Yuan Shao the title like Cao Cao in history.

But even so, Liu Bei still gave a real official position like Jizhou Governor and General Zhengbei like a compromise...

Lin Chen naturally agreed with these things, and he was even leading them.

From this we can also see how much pressure Yuan Shao has put.

But this kind of pressure is not only Liu Bei.

There are also Gongsun Zan, and there are also Gongsun Du... and Cao Cao, there are also!

From this point of view, Cao Cao's behavior of recommending all the talents to the court is very interesting.

It can even be said that not only did not give up on the idea of ​​fighting for hegemony, but instead hid himself through retreating to advance.

When Lin Chen thought of this, he wished he could throw the memorial on the table.

But in the end, he greedily picked up the memorial and said with great emotion.

"pity……"
