Chapter 1361 Dilemma of choice

The book is followed last time.

"Sixty percent!" Li Zhi thought for a while and said firmly: "Sixty percent of the forces can not only maintain a slight suppression of the ministers, but also prevent the ministers from having different thoughts, but also remind themselves from being lost by power."

"60%..." Cao Cao squinted his eyes and nodded after hearing Li Zhi's words.

Indeed, 60% is a very subtle number. If there are too many, the monarch will form absolute suppression. In this way, once a foolish emperor comes, something will definitely go wrong.

If there were fewer, the ministers would probably have different thoughts!

If Cao Cao's descendant emperor created a powerful minister who was in charge of the court, after he took control of all the five-level forces in the court, he would easily occupy the nest and put the emperor into a puppet!

If the ministers only retain 40% of their power, there will be no hidden danger. Even if a powerful minister really comes out, the power in his hands will not be as powerful as the emperor. At that time, he will still have to listen to the emperor honestly!

After thinking of this, Cao Cao nodded with satisfaction and said, "Since that's the case, then only 60% of the officials will be assigned to the next day."

When he said this, his eyes flashed a little.

After hearing this, Li Zhi rolled his eyes in anger and said, "Brother Meng De, do you still want to solve the problem?"

"Of course I want to!" Cao Cao nodded in surprise and said, "Brother Wei is doing it according to the wishes of Brother Xingzhi?"

Hearing this, Li Zhi was angry and said angrily: "Brother Meng De, don't just say these plausible words to you to make excuses!

What I just said is to let you control 60% of the forces, not let you control 60% of the officials. Don’t change your concepts!"

"Ah?" Cao Cao's eyes flashed after hearing Li Zhi's words, and then he pretended to be surprised and asked, "Is there any difference between this? Isn't it the same to control 60% of the forces and 60% of the officials? Anyway, the forces are all composed of officials."

"..." Li Zhikui was so angry that Cao Cao asked this knowingly, and said with anger: "Okay, okay, since you said the same thing, then I will represent the ministers under Brother Meng De to choose the official position first. How about it?!

I don’t want much, just all the positions beside Brother Meng De, plus the positions of the prefectures and ministers of major prefectures and counties!

How about handing over the remaining county magistrate and the village chief to Brother Meng De?”

"..." Cao Cao was silent with embarrassment after hearing Li Zhi's words.

He was really trying to do something just now, and 60% of the officials and 60% of the forces are very different!

You should know that there are differences between officials and officials. How can a county magistrate who only controls one county be compared with a state magistrate who controls one middle school?

If Cao Cao really controls 60% of the officials in the world, then it is no different from controlling the whole world?!

Let me add that I have been using a book reading app recently. There are many sources of books, all books, and fast updates!

After all, only 20% or 30% of all officials in the world are the main official positions, and the others are just irrelevant small officials, so it doesn’t matter whether they want them or not!

The reason why Cao Cao deliberately said the wrong thing just now was because he was a little unwilling to accept it.

Of course he knew that Li Zhi’s method was the best, but this was an absolute constraint for a person who would become an emperor!

What Cao Cao thought was that in his generation, he controlled 60% of the officials. When he was about to die, he immediately followed the ancestral teachings, so that the kings of later generations could only control 60% of the cases.

In other words, Cao Cao wanted to have fun with himself, and then when he was about to die, he immediately blocked the gap.

But Li Zhi knew that once this starts, the kings of later generations would have reason to take over the power!

By then, it would not be the first lord Cao Cao, who had already died, who could control him!

Therefore, even if Li Zhi tried his best to offend Cao Cao, he would not agree to this matter!

"Oh..." Looking at Li Zhi with a firm face, Cao Cao sighed helplessly, rubbed his temples, waved his hand, and said, "Forget it, 60% of the forces are just 60%, let's agree to my brother!"

Cao Cao was not angry because he knew that Li Zhi was for his own good. Although Cao Cao seemed very frustrated, Cao Cao knew that if he wanted the imperial power of the Cao family to be passed down for thousands of generations, he had to set rules!

Only by using rules to restrain those kings and ministers can we better continue the bloodline and power of the Cao family!

Li Zhi's approach is to set rules for the Cao family and help the Cao family to pass on it better. Of course, Cao Cao would not bite Lu Dongbin.

It's just that he's a little depressed. After all, he conquers the world, and the king should have always taken charge of the world.

But now, he has been restricted by others, and he, the person who is restricted, can only pinch his nose and agree, which is indeed depressing.

However, Cao Cao didn't know that he was a man who didn't know how to be dependent, so he felt relieved after being depressed for a while. He could not harm the kings of later generations because of his temporary pleasure!

So Cao Cao immediately smiled and said to Li Zhi: "Brother Xingzhi, the ministers will come here for a banquet later. I will not mention these headache-inducing topics, but let's talk about future events."

"Okay." Li Zhijian Cao's brows were completely relaxed, and he knew that Cao Cao had figured it out, so he did not refuse. After nodding, he came to behind a table beside him.

After sitting down, he asked with a smile: "Brother Meng De, now the adjustment has been taken over Liangzhou. Next, as long as we arrive in Luoyang, it will not take long to kill all the enemy troops in Luoyang!

What will Brother Meng De do then?

Should we go to capture the two southern states first, or should we go back directly to the army to pacify the north first?"

"Brother Wei is also having a headache about this matter." After hearing Li Zhi's inquiry, Cao Cao smiled bitterly, shook his head and said, "These two choices have their pros and cons. If you go to the south first, you will inevitably be guided by Gongsun Zan when you are in the north!

At that time, even if I turn my brother to pacify the south and pacify Gongsun Zan, all I get is a mess of land, which will take a long time to restore life.

But if my brother returns to the army to pacify the Central Plains, then when he comes to his senses, the South may have chosen another new master!

Once the new lords are selected in Yizhou and Jingzhou, they will definitely gather troops crazily!

At that time, they may still not be able to beat Wei brother, but they can hold on to Wei brother, making it difficult for Wei brother to pacify the world in a short period of time.

In addition, if I accidentally let Sun Ce go away when I pacify the Central Plains, then the trouble I will be even greater!

At that time, we will not only deal with the southern states, but also find ways to deal with Sun Ce's water battle! In this way, the agenda of unifying the world for my brother can be said to be far away."

"Oh?" Li Zhi smiled playfully after hearing Cao Cao's words and asked, "In this way, Brother Meng De is more inclined to pacify the southern princes first and then pacify the Central Plains?"

"This is not..." Cao Cao frowned, shook his head and said, "If I immediately went to pacify Jingzhou Yizhou after defeating Liu Yan and others, then Gongsun Zan and Zhang Yan in the north would never miss this great opportunity!

Once they capture the old lair we are waiting for, we may still have the possibility of failure!

After all, from ancient times to the present, only by attacking the south from the north can we gain the world. I have never heard of anyone who attacks the north from the south!

Even if the hero is like Xiang Yu, wouldn’t he end up with a suicide defeat?

So, if we really give up on the north and only attack the south, we will probably lose the whole world in the end!"

"Oh..." After saying this, Cao Cao sighed long and said helplessly: "Now, all the aspiring people in the world feel that they have a great advantage for their brother, and they will definitely sweep the whole world like the autumn wind sweeping the fallen leaves.

But they didn't know that Brother Wei, who had a great advantage, was now forced into a dilemma by the princes who were at a disadvantage. Alas... it was difficult!!"

"..." Just after hearing Cao Cao's complaint, he was silent. Cao Cao was right. Now they really have difficulty making a choice, but...

"Why did Brother Meng De have to divide the north and south? Can't you attack together?"

"Attack together?" After hearing Li Zhi's words, Cao Cao suddenly stood up and walked around the hall.

After a long time, he must have turned his head and asked Li Zhiwen seriously: "What brother Xingzhi means is to divide his troops into your brother, support the northern states, and sweep the south along the other side?"

"That's right!" Li Zhi nodded, took out a map from his chest and spread it on the table in front of him, waved to Cao Cao, and said, "Brother Meng De, come and see..."

After Cao Cao walked in front of Li Zhi, Li Zhi pointed to the direction of Xuzhou and Yuzhou and said, "We don't have to worry about the direction of Yuzhou and Xuzhou. Although Sun Ce's offensive was fierce, he could not break the defense of these two states.

After all, these two states can defend together, and their combined forces are far more powerful than Sun Ce!

So Sun Ce is just here to scare people, and it will not play a decisive role at all, so I can ignore him for the time being!"

When he said this, he stroked his finger and pointed to the direction of Yanzhou, saying, "Yanzhou Zhang Yan is indeed a trouble. After these days of war, the new recruits have become veterans.

Although it seems that he is defending, once he finds an opportunity, he will immediately turn into defense into offense!

However, I have not had enough people to wait here, so I don’t have to pay too much attention to him. As long as I send 30,000 to 50,000 reinforcements here within two months, I can hold him back."
