Chapter 3186 A river of ice water flows eastward (additional update)(2/2)
Cao Cao wandered around twice, "There is no movement in Pingyang Anyi yet?"
Guo Jia shook his head silently, and he was helpless.
He is indeed a strategist, but he cannot kill the enemy on behalf of the generals, nor can he transform countless soldiers into succession.
Waving the fan is a skill that can replenish blood for frontline soldiers, and can only appear in the game.
Cao Cao frowned.
It's a key decision point again.
Before crossing the river, when Cao Cao attacked Tongguan, he knew that the Cavalry had some methods to prevent moisture from gunpowder, but he also understood that it was not so easy to prevent moisture from gunpowder. At least the subsequent suppression of artillery in Tongguan dropped a lot due to the wind and snow.
However, Cao Cao did not expect that he could still use firearms during the field battle between the Cavalry Army in Zhangyangchi.
Cao Cao was very uneasy, as if he felt that he was standing on the edge of a cliff.
But Cao Cao is still a gambler after all, so he failed to do the most painful things, but it should be the most reasonable measure.
Just like a person with red eyes gambling, he will not leave the gambling table easily.
So what is the gambler Cao Cao good at?
Win in chaos.
So Cao Cao hopes that the situation will be even more chaotic...
The most core reason why Cao Cao was able to stand out in the ten-year Kanto melee between the anti-Dong War and the Guandu War, stood firm in the territory of the three prefectures of Yan, Yu and Si, and digested Xuzhou and annexed the Qing, Ji and You, the four prefectures of Yuan Shao and Ji, was actually that Cao Cao knew strategically how to survive in the slit, how to accurately walk on the tightrope, and then gain the greatest benefits.
From a certain perspective, Lao Cao and Liu Bei appreciate each other, saying that there are only two heroes in the world. Some of the reasons are that Cao Cao and Liu Bei both depended on others at the beginning and then relied on others to survive...
When Chen Liu, who had just become rich, was "spent family wealth and joining the righteous army", it was essentially just a former official who had just resigned from the court controlled by Dong Zhuo, and might even be wanted. After all, Cao Cao was far less famous than Yuan Shao at that time. At that time, Cao Cao relied on Zhang Miao, the prefect of Chenliu.
Is it the result of relying on Zhang Miao in the end that Cao Cao finally killed Zhang Miao...
During Cao Cao's growth, Lao Cao relied on Yuan Shao and made the name of General Fenwu from Yuan Da, which represented that Cao Cao and Yuan Shao had established a certain degree of subordinate relationship, at least wandering between Zhang Miao, the prefect of Chenliu County, and Yuan Shao, the magistrate of Bohai County.
Later, Cao Cao was not satisfied with becoming Yuan Shao's agent in Yanzhou, so he later killed Yuan Shao...
So when Lao Cao looked at Lao Liu who liked to study, he felt like he saw himself.
If Cao Cao could look at Liu Bei and look at imitators and test with ridiculous words, then when Cao Cao was facing Fei Qian below, the things that Cao Cao was originally good at suddenly became useless.
Cao Cao was carrying his hands behind his back in the big tent and turned around.
Like a trapped beast.
Before, whether it was facing Dong Zhuo, Er Yuan, or when Cao Cao was most embarrassed and his hometown was almost raided, Cao Cao was in a clear mind because he could know what the other party was thinking and what he was going to do, and how he should deal with it, even when Cao Cao's hometown was almost raided.
But now, Lao Cao is a little confused about what Fei Qian is thinking, what he wants to do, and how he should deal with it...
At that time, Cao Cao's Yanzhou Governor was originally from the support of the local tyrants in Yanzhou, his friends Zhang Miao and Yuan Shao. Cao Cao's actions of slaughtering Xuzhou allowed the Yanzhou gentry to find an extremely legitimate catharsis outlet for Cao Cao to refuse to share the cake. In order to block this increasingly large gap, Cao Cao killed Bian Rang, and originally wanted to shock and delay, but he did not expect that it would promote the alliance between Zhang Miao and Lu Bu.
Cao Cao quickly adjusted his attitude, wagging his tail at Yuan Shao on the one hand, and immediately hooked up with the people of Yuzhou, immediately pacified Yanzhou, and then formulated a political pattern that determined Cao Cao's basic territory.
That is, "holding the emperor."
This is the strategic basic structure, army, territory, and talents that Cao Cao finally won in the Central Plains of Han Dynasty. The continuous expansion of the emperor's righteousness under the responsibilities of the emperor has enabled Cao Cao to have the establishment of the imperial system, and also brought the greatest talent benefits to Cao Cao. Only Cao Cao can award legal titles, official ranks and salaries. Working for Cao Cao is the court's official, and working for heroes is likely to be just a subordinate of the general's office or a county chief.
Charm can indeed attract the support of some people, but the establishment and treatment are obviously more attractive to Shandong people.
Military is an extension of politics.
Politics is always the biggest strategy.
What Cao Cao wanted was chaos, and the more calm Fei Qian's side was, the more defensive he was, the more passive Cao Cao was and the more difficult he was.
In history, before the Battle of Red Cliff, Liu Bei once wanted to escape to Lingnan, and Liu Zhang had sent an envoy to express his intention to surrender. Zhang Zhao, who was under the tent of Sun Quan in Jiangdong, also secretly sent a secret message to Cao Cao, resulting in chaos in the northwest, and Ma Teng had long expressed his willingness to become a vassal of Cao Cao. The situation in the Han Dynasty was very good. At that time, almost everyone in the world believed that Cao Cao was about to quell the chaotic times...
The result made Cao Cao wrongly judge the situation.
This time, Cao Cao also made a mistake in the judgment of Fei Qian.
He applied his experience to Fei Qian.
Any emerging military group that offends local forces will face great shocks. Without "localization", the forces will not be able to last for a long time.
Lao Cao had been stabbed by people from Yanzhou before, so Cao Cao felt that Fei Qian would also be at risk of being stabbed by people from Guanzhong or Hedong.
Cao Cao did not believe that all the gentry in Hedong, Guanzhong were so obedient and obedient to Fei Qian and were willing to become Fei Qian's shape. Therefore, after Cao Cao confirmed that Fei Qian had left Guanzhong, he launched a fierce attack...
Just like in history, Cao Cao also led his troops south.
To a certain extent, Cao Cao's judgment is correct.
There are indeed many gentry in Hedong, Guanzhong. As of now, there are still many people who are still dissatisfied with Fei Qian. But the problem is that those guys who jump the most happily have been cheated by Fei Qian...
Cao Cao thought that his killing of Bianjie led to the people of Yanzhou on his vest, so Fei's killing of famous scholars in Hedong, Guanzhong would inevitably lead to the people of Hedong in Hedong, Guanzhong and Fei's secret destiny. However, Cao Cao ignored one thing, which was that he was the reason for killing Bianjie himself, which was just "ridiculation", and Fei Qian never killed someone just because someone "ridiculated".
Fei Qian is at most fined.
Fei Qian's real reason for killing people must be unshakable, such as rebellion, corruption, and abuse of power... There must be conclusive and indecisive evidence. This has largely led to the inability of the gentry in Hedong, Guanzhong, and Hedong, to speak unfairly for the "border arbitrage" like the gentry in Yanzhou, and even rebel in groups.
"Come! Let's tell you that Yang Dezu is here!"
