Chapter 40: Cheng Yu's Three Strategies

Cao Cao wanted to take advantage of Sun Ce's assassination to control Jiangdong, but he was pacifying Hebei at that time and could only use some other means.

Unfortunately, Jiangdong has huge power, Guilan, Dai Yuan and Sun Fu have failed one after another, but Jiangdong's power is getting bigger and bigger, and it is now difficult to wipe out.

Cheng Yu sneered:

"Zhang Zhao was originally from Pengcheng and had a good relationship with Kong Rong. Since Sun Ce's death, he has always claimed to be returning to the west and seeking the court, but he has been in a bad relationship with Zhou Yu.

But the Prime Minister thought about it, who did Sun Quan rely on to suppress the tribes of Jiangdong, and who should rely on to firmly position Jiangdong and quell the rebellions? Of course it was Zhang Zhao."

Cao Cao was sweating coldly when he heard this, and thought to himself that his subordinates tried not to use Xuzhou people. How could he believe that a great scholar from Xuzhou (and Xubei) was particularly sincere to him?

"When Sun Ce was assassinated, he entrusted all the major events to Zhang Zhao, which shows his loyalty.

Later, Zhang Zhao was worried that he would be assassinated, so he fought with Zhou Yu and reconciled with him. He had been dragging the court for so many years, making the court think that Liu Biao and Liu Bei were the biggest threat.

But now, when Jiangdong took advantage of the unprepared court in recent years, he had already surpassed Sun Ce, his troops were sufficient and had enough food to occupy the geographical advantage, and it was difficult to destroy them. It was all due to Zhang Zhao's achievements. Lu Ji was only a child, and he wrote a letter to the Prime Minister. It must be Zhang Zhao's plan. The purpose was to..."

Speaking of this, Cheng Yu's eyes lit up and he suddenly thought of something.

"Have the Prime Minister been inadequate in defense of Guan Ping?"

"Oh, Zhongde, please speak."

Cheng Yu took Xu Shu's combat suggestions written to Zhang Yun to Cao Cao, pointing to the text above and said:

"Prime Minister, look at this sentence, are these words and words loyal to each word? If you fight according to this method, you may be able to win completely?"

Cao Cao looked carefully at Xu Shu's suggestion and nodded:

"Although it is not a clever plan, it is stable. If Zi Xiao follows the plan, he will not suffer such a crushing defeat."

"That's it." Cheng Yu said confidently, "Xu Yuanzhi is scheming. Zihe is the younger brother of Zixiao, a compatriot. He died with Zhang Yun before. Xu Shu was deliberately trying to give advice to Zixiao. Of course, Zixiao did not dare to obey, so he suffered a great defeat. This cannot be completely blamed on Zixiao or Zhang Yun."

Speaking of this, Cheng Yu lowered his voice:

"Have the Prime Minister ever thought that we were all over Xu Yuanzhi's plan?"

Cao Cao pondered for a moment, shook his head and said:

"No, after Yuan Zhi came, he was silent and never heard of his plan."

"Hey." Cheng Yu sneered, "I remember when Xu Yuanzhi first came, he said that Zhuge Liang was ten times more talented than him."

"Yes, is there something wrong with this?" Cao Cao felt his head hurt so much again.

"There is no problem, but Xu Yuanzhi is scheming and has to be careful.

Zhuge Liang is known to all the talents of Wolong. All we have guarded against before were his tricks. But the Prime Minister saw that Zihe died at the hands of anyone else. This time, Zhang Zhao took the initiative to intervene with whom, who was brave enough to attack Jiangling, and who was intercepting Zixiao halfway?"

Cheng Yu's voice was very tempting. He was so terrifying that everyone was talking about, but he secretly felt that there was something reasonable.

Guan Ping!

All are Guan Ping!

All these incidents are related to Ping’s cause!

"Impossible! It's ridiculous!" Xun You finally couldn't help it.

"How is this possible? You said before that Lu Ji was young, but how old is the Guan family? This year it is only sixteen or seventeen years old. It is still acceptable for him to be the general of the school soldiers. Isn't it a big absurdity in the world?"

Cheng Yu smiled and said, "You are from a famous family, so naturally I don't know. The Guan family's Dalang was wandering when he was young and was separated from Yun Chang several times. If there was no sinister plan, how could a young man go around and meet Yun Chang again? Such a skill is not enough to be a planner, wouldn't he be a planner?"

Xun You wanted to argue again, so Cao Cao waved his hand and signaled them to say less.

"So what should I do?"

When Cheng Yu looked at Cao Cao's expression, he knew that Cao Cao had believed it 70% or 80%. He stretched out three thin fingers and smiled:

"Our military needs to rebuild military intelligence and school affairs, this is the case."

Cao Cao looked depressed, and all the staff nodded slightly, saying that this was indeed the case.

Cao Cao's previous staff in charge of military affairs was Guo Jia. He had a very good grasp of military affairs, allowing the Cao army to detect rebellion in time and organize assassinations and assassinations. In this way, he tried his best to reduce unnecessary energy loss and concentrate all his strength in one place to fight continuously.

After Guo Jia's death, Cao Cao did not find a confidential personnel who were satisfied with military affairs. He was blindly arrogant and ignored the investigation of Jingzhou and Jiangdong. He did not realize that Zhang Zhao was the biggest rebel minister, which led to Cao's army being like a blindfolded tiger, fighting repeatedly.

"Our army is currently incompatible with the men of Jingzhou, so we should temporarily suspend the attack, implement moral governance, and appease people's hearts. These are the two."

Cao's army is now suffering a great defeat and his morale is unstable. Cao Cao remembered what Jia Xu said before and thought it was not suitable for a big battle, so he nodded slowly.

"The Guan family's Dalang's army is in the hands of a great army, and he is very popular in Jingzhou. This person will definitely come again in the future and will be a big problem for our army. Please ask the Prime Minister to visit the warriors of Jingxiang, the Jiangdong Assassin, and assassin of this thief. These are the three things!"

"All three are ready, our army goes downstream, how can Sun and Liu fight against each other?"

It has to be said that the pattern of Cheng Yu, the general of Fenwu, is indeed a little higher than that of several aides. Except for Xun You, Dong Zhao, Chen Lin and Chen Qun, all admire him and nodded repeatedly.

Cao Cao thought for a long time and felt that it made sense.

only……

"It's easier said than done." Xun You said sarcastically, "If Guan Ping is as General Cheng said, and Guan Ping is skilled in martial arts and is good at making changes, and he will come and go freely, who will we send to kill him?"

Cheng Yu gently twisted his long beard and said with a smile:

"The Prime Minister also has a confidant in Jiangdong, so he can be asked to assassinate him. If he fails, he will tell him where Guan Ping is.

As long as I know where Guan Ping is, I recommend one person, which is enough to win—

This man's surname is Huang and his name is Zhong. He has the courage of thousands of men. He is from Jingzhou and is definitely not a child of Guan Ping. Guan Ping will be arrogant after winning many times. Next time he comes, he will make this man follow Wei Yan's pretend to surrender to Guan Ping and kill Guan Ping's head with one knife."

Xun You frowned and said:

"Was Huang Zhong the former general Huang Hansheng under Liu Biao's command?"

“Yes.”

"This man was extremely brave back then, but he was already in his sixties, so what's the point?"

Cao Cao waved his hand:

"Since it is recommended by Zhongde, he must be a powerful general - he represented Huang Zhong as a deputy general and went to Jiangling to listen to it."

Cao Cao was repeatedly plotted before, but he didn't want to ask Jia Xu in his heart. Now with Cheng Yu's guidance, he suddenly felt that he was shaking the sky and put all his hopes on Cheng Yu.

Cheng Yu was also very energetic and continued:

"After the Prime Minister went to Jingzhou, although he had rewarded him a lot, he could transfer Liu Cong away, but people were unstable in the end.

As the saying goes, it is better to choose a talented man in Jingzhou to make him or her own local affairs so that he can rest assured?

I heard that Ma had a son named Ma Liang. He was quite talented and very good at documentary documents. If the Prime Minister valued him as the military officer, everyone would be convinced."

Cao Cao nodded repeatedly:

"Okay, just follow Zhongde's words."

Cheng Yu became more and more excited as he spoke, and continued:

"The commander-in-chief of the school is aware of the greatness of military affairs. It is not very useful if he is the prime minister's relatives.

Before, the prime minister punished his son for filial piety, so it was better to temporarily dismiss his leadership to show punishment and secretly ordered him to take charge of the school and guard Jiangling.

If this happens, if March is not gone, Jiangling will be stable and the people will respect it. Our army will go down the river. Liu Bei and Sun Quan have to surrender. How dare you fight with the court?"

Cao Cao became more and more happy as he listened, and praised him repeatedly:
