A capable minister who governs the world and a hero who is in troubled times.

Cao Mengde is not worthy of this comment.

The Romance of the Three Kingdoms novel in later generations changed the last half of the sentence into a hero. Although it sounds more fierce and deceitful, it is not a mistake.

To pacify the world, if you don’t advance, you will retreat. While governing internal affairs, Cao Mengde did not give up his observance of the surrounding princes.

Yuan Shao's family in Hebei is very rich, and for the time being, it is difficult to start. However, from the edges, you can cause some trouble for him, distract his mind, and mess with his audio-visual.

Although the warlords of the Western Liang in Guanzhong inherited the military strength left by Dong Zhuo, they were strong on the outside but acted on the inside. They seemed powerful, but in fact they were very weak. In addition, the internal contradictions were full of internal conflicts, which was the best goal to start.

Zhao Yu couldn't help feeling pitiful for Li Jue and Guo Si and others. Even if he directly attacked, Li Jue and Guo Si could not stop Cao Mengde. What's more, there were conspiracies?

However, Zhao Yu thought of another person and couldn't help but say, "There is a person with a huge strategy in Guanzhong. He may not be able to see your methods."

"oh?"

Cao Mengde's expression moved: "There are such people in Guanzhong?!"

Zhao Yu said: "This man's surname is Jia, Xu and Wenhe, and he is from Wuwei, Liangzhou. He is the most conspiring person. He must be under Zhang Ji's command at this time."

"Jia Xu?"

Cao Mengde pondered secretly: "It seems that there is something I heard about."

Zhao Yu smiled and said, "Jia Xu was not famous when he was young. Only the famous scholar Yan Zhong thought he was different and said that he was good and peaceful. In his early years, he was a gangster. He resigned from his post due to illness. On the way home, he met the rebellious Di people and was taken by the Di people with dozens of people who were traveling with him. Jia Xu pretended to be Duan Yi's grandson to scare the Di people. As expected, the Di did not dare to harm him. He even swears with him and sent him back, but the rest of the people were killed. This man became flexible, bold and meticulous, and extremely amazing."

"Oh? Yan Zhong, Hanyang, actually praised him for being a good person?!"

Cao Mengde was indeed inspired: "Sir, he is under Zhang Ji's command at this time?"

Zhao Yu nodded with a smile.

Cao Mengde immediately became calculating.

Zhao Yu saw Cao Mengde's expression and couldn't help but smile and said, "Meng De has a loving talent again?"

Cao Mengde said: "Sir, I know me."

Zhao Yu said: "Jia Xu is the best person to protect himself. With his wisdom, how can we not see that the warlords of Xiliang are declining? Meng De only needs to send people to contact him, and he will be used by Meng De."

Cao Mengde's beard raised: "This is the best."

Then he asked, "Since Jia Xu's wisdom is praised by him, why hasn't he become famous?"

Zhao Yu smiled and said, "Has Mr. Zhicai made a name before he voted for you?"

"This..." Cao Mengde's expression changed: "This is."

Zhao Yu said: "The so-called planners first plan for themselves, and they cannot even protect themselves. How can they talk about planning for the country? Jia Wenhe has been under Dong Zhuo's command, but never shows his dew. With his wisdom, he probably saw that Dong Zhuo's fate was a long time ago, and planning things under his command was just for the sake of rest. He has never been to the Lord, whether Dong Zhuo or Zhang Ji, he is like a guest official. You can imagine his prudence. Now that you are so powerful, even if you don't go to find him, you will sooner or later come to your command. But since you want to plan for Guanzhong, you will take him under your command. With him in Guanzhong, it will definitely play a big role."

"Sir, what he said is reasonable."

Cao Mengde couldn't help but worship.

Speaking of Guanzhong, Zhao Yu said again: "Guanzhong is not the point. Li Jue and Guo Si's dry bones are insignificant. The key is that after taking Guanzhong, they will border Xiliang. There are Ma Teng and Han Sui in Xiliang, and there are many Qiang and Hu. This is the key. Ma Teng and Han Sui are all ambitious people. Once there is a change in Guanzhong, they will be ready to move."

Cao Mengde said: "I am also worried about this. Therefore, over the past six months, I have recruited another 30,000 troops."

He said: "Once Guanzhong is taken down, the defense line will be much longer. Bingzhou in the north has almost fallen to the Xiongnu, under the iron hoof of Xianbei. There is Ma Teng Hansui in the west. It is really a bit troublesome. I want to take Hedong and Hanoi first, and defend Guanzhan. What do you think?"

Zhao Yu thought for a while and said, "I'm afraid Yuan Shao doesn't want to."

Bingzhou has been in decline for a long time. In Dingyuan, all the troops were formed south to Luoyang, and Bingzhou had almost no voice from the court. Over the years, the Xiongnu and Xianbei almost regarded Bingzhou as a happy land. Although Yuan Shao gradually eroded Bingzhou after occupying Hebei, only a few counties and counties in the eastern part of Bingzhou were still the world of the Hu people.

However, the Han people are now extremely powerful. Even though the Han Dynasty has declined to such a point, even if it is divided, the princes on the frontier can still suppress the surrounding barbarians so dare not act without any move. However, the decline of the Han Dynasty is inevitable, and many places where the power of the court will naturally fall, which is helpless.

"Hanoi is still under Zhang Yang's rule." Zhao Yu said: "Yuan Shao is also quite coveted. If you want to take Hanoi, Yuan Shao will definitely refuse."

He said again: "You don't want to fight against Yuan Shao right now, right?"

Cao Mengde said: "Mr. I am indeed unwilling to fight with Benchu ​​in a close relationship. Now under my rule, it is the time when people's livelihood is booming. We must not make big moves to avoid affecting people's livelihood. But..."

He smiled slightly: "To take Hanoi, it is not a big fight."

"oh?"

Zhao Yu was a little surprised.

Cao Mengde said: "Sir, forget Lu Fengxian?"

When Zhao Yu heard this, his thoughts changed and he suddenly realized: "No, not bad! Lu Fengxian and Zhang Yang are the best friends. It would be better to send Lu Feng to Hanoi secretly, so it is not impossible to surrender Zhang Yang."

But he smiled and said, "With Lu Bu's character, Meng De is not afraid that he will leave Puyang, so he will rebel against you?"

"He dares!"

Cao Mengde laughed: "Sir, have you forgotten what you said?"

Zhao Yu was stunned and laughed: "Yes, I forgot."

When Cao Mengde was surrendered to Lu Bu, Zhao Yu once said that if Lu Bu dared to repeat it again, he would definitely kill him.

In this way, whether Lu Bu is honest or not, Hanoi will definitely fall into Cao Mengde's hands. If he is honest, when he goes to Hanoi to meet Zhang Yang, he will definitely tell Zhao Yu's affairs and persuade him to surrender with all his might. Zhang Yang knows that there is a true immortal supporting Cao Mengde, and the probability of his surrender is imaginable. If he is not honest, Cao Mengde only needs to come and tell Zhao Yu, and Zhao Yu will go there personally and kill Lu Bu. When Zhang Yang sees him, he will be shocked and dare not resist.

In this way, it was all under Cao Mengde's calculations.

"Okay, Cao Mengde, I've calculated everything."

Zhao Yu laughed.

"Sir, it's rare to take action. How could I let go of the opportunity?" Cao Mengde smiled and had a banquet.

"You can take down Henoi without spending one soldier. With Lu Bu as the general, Zhang Yang's troops, resist Yuan Shao in the east and go west to Hedong. As for the Baibo bandits in Hedong, Yang Feng was dead, but he was left in an instant. So Hedong started." Zhao Yu said: "Then the Guanzhong chaos, Lu Bu was in a mighty way in Hedong. You sent troops to Hangu, and the two attacked each other. Even if the Xiliang army attacked one, you would not run away."
