[Lao Gao wrote an international current affairs entertainment article "Seeing through the fog of Ukraine" last night. It was posted in the morning. It was just Lao Gao's family's words. Everyone should take it as entertainment. Don't take it seriously!]—

Everyone stood up one after another and surrounded Cao Cao and headed towards Chang'an City. The palace in Chang'an had been burned to pieces by the Red Eyebrow Army. After Liu Xiu ascended the throne in Luoyang, he did not rebuild the palace. He only built a palace on the original site of Weiyang Palace, which was repaired twice by Emperor Shun and Emperor Heng. Later, Dong Zhuo expanded the palace and named it the new Weiyang Palace.

Before Ma Chao's rebellion, this palace covering an area of ​​nearly 400 acres was used as the official yamen of the Sili, and now it has been changed to the Guanzhong Governor's Office, where Cao Zhi stationed in it and commanded the 140,000 troops in Guanzhong.

Cao Cao entered the palace and sat down in the inner hall. The civil and military generals stood on both sides. Cao Cao then asked, "Is there any news over Liu Jing?"

Cao Ren took a step forward and bowed and said, "Report to the Prime Minister, Liu Jing has gathered troops in Hanzhong one after another. According to our latest information, it is estimated that there are 100,000 troops. In addition, there are 400,000 stones of grain left by Zhang Lu and a large amount of weapons and materials in the Nanzheng official warehouse. There is also a news that Liu Jing has renamed the Jingzhou army to the Han army."

Cao Cao was stunned and suddenly raised his head and laughed. Everyone was confused. Cao Cao nodded and said, "It seems that Liu Jing has no longer concealed his ambitions. My army is called Cao Jun, but his army is called Han Jun. Is he the army of the court?"

Xun You smiled slightly and said, "I'm afraid Liu Jing's real idea is to call the Southern Han Army."

"Gongda is right. Liu Jing doesn't want to admit the court. He wants to establish his own court. Unfortunately, his ambition will not succeed. I will defend Guanzhong to the death and not let him go to Guanzhong."

Speaking of this, Cao Cao looked around and said slowly: "Although I am very confident, we must also admit that Liu Jing's army is our biggest enemy. He has many advantageous troops. The navy can be ignored, but his heavy armored infantry can even compete with my Tiger and Leopard Cavalry. In addition, he has excellent soldiers and sufficient food and well-trained soldiers. This battle in Guanzhong will each occupy half of the chances of victory. It depends on who can perform well in the battle. Therefore, we cannot be slacking off, nor can we be arrogant. Please remember this point!"

Everyone bowed and bowed together, "I will remember the Prime Minister's teachings in my heart!"

After Cao Cao met everyone, he returned to the inner hall. He ordered someone to find Xun You, Zhong Yao and Cao Ren. Cao Cao had already changed into loose clothes and smiled at everyone, "Please sit there as you like!"

Cao Zhi was also present, and he stood behind his father. Cao Cao looked back at him, "Sit down too!"

Seeing that everyone was sitting down, Cao Cao sighed and said, "I feel very regretful when I talk about it. If I persisted in Runan, I would have captured Liu Jing, the humble boy who went to surrender to Liu Biao, and I would not be as passive as I am today."

Everyone smiled bitterly. The Prime Minister had regretted this incident more than once. Xun You advised: "The empress was also present at that time. To be honest, I didn't take this young boy to heart at that time. I guess everyone didn't take him to heart. Who would have thought that he would make a big splash one day, become the lord of Jingzhou and Yizhou, and become our biggest enemy? So the Prime Minister no longer has to worry about the past."

"I'm not mindful, I'm thinking, how great it would be if I had such a son!"

Everyone looked at each other. It turned out that the Prime Minister had a desire for talent again. When will this old problem be changed? Cao Zhi looked embarrassed and bowed, "The child has disappointed his father!"

Cao Cao waved his hand and sighed, "Forget it, I won't talk about this matter anymore. I'll listen to everyone's response. How should we deal with Liu Jing's northward journey?"

He glanced at Zhong Yao and smiled and said, "Yuan Chang not only wrote well, but also had good strategies. He is especially familiar with Guanzhong. I want to hear your opinion first."

Zhong Yao was the founder of regular script and a famous calligrapher in the late Han Dynasty. He was about 60 years old and a minister of the court. He had a particularly deep friendship with Xun You. Xun You recommended him to Cao Cao many times, so Cao Cao appointed Zhong Yao as the Sili School Captain and guarded Guanzhong.

It was also under Zhong Yao's painstaking management that the economy in Guanzhong has recovered very quickly over the years and is no longer as dilapidated as in the early years of Jian'an, and has already gained some vitality.

When Zhong Yao saw Cao Cao ask him first, he bowed and said, "I think Liu Jing will not attack Guanzhong, but will march into Longxi."

"How do you say this?" Cao Cao asked hurriedly.

"The reason is very simple. The six roads of the Zhongyu Valley Road in Guanzhong have been destroyed for decades and are difficult to reuse. In fact, there are only five roads, Wuguan Road, Ziwu Road, Luotang Road, Baoxi Road and Chencang Road. Wuguan Road comes from Nanyang, so it can be ruled out, and only four roads are left. The characteristics of these four roads are all located in the steep mountains. It can be said that one man is at the pass, and tens of thousands of troops cannot be opened. Now each valley road is stationed tens of thousands of troops. How can Liu Jing's army pass? Zhao Yun's army continues to harass him. They also know that if the four roads in Guanzhong cannot enter, then the most likely one is to go north of Qishan."

Zhong Yao's analysis was reasonable and well-founded, which made people convinced. Cao Cao walked to the map hanging on the wall with his hands behind his back and stared at the Guanzhong map for a long time. The map was marked very clearly, from the Wuguan Road in the east to the Chencang Road in the west. Cao Cao pondered for a while and said, "I want to go to Ziwu Road to take a look."

Ziwu Road is the most steepest road among the six paths in Guanzhong. Since ancient times, there has been a saying that "Zhongnan Six Paths, Ziwu is the king". Ziwu Road is also the closest Zhongnan Passage to Chang'an. It leads from Chang'an to Hanzhong. It is 600 miles long. It enters from Zigu in the north and exits from Wugu in the south, so it is also called Ziwugu.

There are steep and steep mountains on both sides of Ziwu Valley. The valley path is narrow and long, with only two steps at the narrowest point and less than two hundred steps at the widest point. The high ground in the valley is undulating and the climate changes are unpredictable. It was sunny just now, but in a blink of an eye, it was covered with dark clouds and lightning and thunder. Often, businessmen and travelers are tired and die in the valley.

Cao's army built ten beacon towers on the top of a mountain about a hundred miles long on the northern line of Ziwu Road. On average, there was one beacon tower every ten miles, monitoring the 100-mile valley road. In addition, five military forts were built in dangerous places. Each military fort could accommodate hundreds of people, forming a situation where one man was at the pass and ten thousand men could not open.

Not only that, Cao's army also had a large military camp at the entrance of the valley, with about 10,000 troops stationed. Not only Ziwu Valley, but the other valleys were all tightly defended, and tens of thousands of troops were stationed.

Cao Cao came to the entrance of Ziwu Valley with everyone. He did not go to the military camp, but went directly into the valley road. More than a thousand soldiers guarded him, heading south along the valley road. He walked about thirty miles in the rugged valley road. In front of him was a military fort, which was high above and cut off the valley road, just like a strong man straddling the valley road. Passengers must pass through the military fort.

Liu Jing laughed loudly, "I'm afraid I'll disappoint the Prime Minister. My nephew is only twenty-six years old this year, and he can live at least fifty years. I wonder if the Prime Minister will be there in fifty years?"

Attachment: "Seeing through the mist of Ukraine"

The Ukrainian Rebellion is two sides of a coin. On the surface, it is a dispute between the United States and Russia, but in fact it is not. The real struggle is the other side. The dispute between the United States and Europe, or the dispute between NATO and the EU, the real protagonists are the United States and Germany, and Russia is just the best supporting role. This is actually a continuation of European history for hundreds of years, just like the UK supports Germany to deal with France.

But now we have replaced Britain in history with the United States. Britain and the United States are already one. However, recently, the British brothers have had a strange intention and have been flirting with the Oriental Dragon. They must teach them a hard lesson. So Scotland has independence, Scotland is Celtic, and England is Anglo-Saxon.

There are two spokespersons of the United States in Europe, one is the United Kingdom and the other is NATO. In order to control Europe, the United States must provoke trouble in Europe. NATO's business has been too deserted in recent years and is inclined to be replaced by the EU. The United States needs to find business for him, so there were two customers, one in Ukraine and the other in Türkiye.

Ukraine and Türkiye are actually the same thing.

Some people say that the Ukrainian incident was the fuse of World War III, but there is actually some truth, because the real purpose of the United States is to find an enemy for Europe and force Europe to move closer to the United States. Russia is undoubtedly the best traditional enemy.

From Napoleon to World War I and World War II, in the three European Unification Wars, the Russians were the enemy of Europe. Now Germany uses the EU to unify Europe for the fourth time. Of course, Russia will not be out of the matter. This is also a continuation of history.

To a certain extent, Russia cooperates with the United States, and a split Europe is in line with the interests of Britain, the United States and Russia. Why did Russia dare to swallow Crimea? Because this is the big gift given to the Russians by the United States.

Are Americans that stupid? Even though they know that Ukraine cannot live without Russia, they still have to go to Ukraine to provoke trouble, and even know that Russia will take the opportunity to swallow Crimea, they still have to incite Ukrainians to rebel on the streets. There is only one explanation, and the United States and Russia have long had a tacit understanding.

The reason why the United States is eager to deal with Europe is actually a dispute between the US dollar and the euro, but it has now evolved into a life-saving battle between the United States and Europe. The profound crisis makes both companies almost unable to expose the blame.

From the fact that the United States actually transported away a little gold from Ukraine, we can tell how ugly the United States' eating habits are and how anxious it is. If it doesn't eat Europe, the United States will fall down.

Of course, the United States originally wanted to eat China, but it couldn't. Now it can only make the decision of Europe. The Ukrainian incident broke out to cooperate with the United States' strategy.

Ukraine is just the strategic plan of the United States. Russia can only threaten Europe at a strategic level by eating Crimea. However, the United States still needs a tactical threat, which must put Europe in an imminent and huge threat. The United States will even provoke a war at all costs.

So after Ukraine ends, Türkiye must be playing. Why is it Türkiye? If you Baidu Crimea, you will know the origin of Türkiye and Crimea.

Secondly, Turkey is also the battlefield between the EU and NATO. Why does Turkey buy China's high-speed rail and Chinese missiles? It is impossible for the Germans to be without the shadow of the Germans. It can be said that Turkey is a cooperation between the EU and China, and Türkiye naturally becomes a thorn in the United States' side.

The United States must take Turkey, so when Ukraine is in chaos, Turkey is also in chaos. Recently, two American aircraft carriers appeared in the Mediterranean. Many people say that they are threatening Russia. In fact, it is not the case. The real sword point of the US aircraft carrier is Türkiye, or Germany. The so-called Xiangzhuang sword dancing is intended to be Pei Gong.

It's like using two guns to press Turkey's forehead and forcing Turkey to fight Crimea. As long as Türkiye launches the Crimean War, the Russians will appear in the Bosphorus Strait, and the United States' tactical threat to Europe will be successful.

Türkiye is too sensitive, it is not important itself, it is just that every man is innocent and is guilty of possessing a treasure. Who lets him control the Bosphorus?

Turkey even has close ties with Iran. The Turks who destroyed the Abbasid Empire in history were the Turks, who also established the Ottoman Turkish Empire. Looking through European history, we really can't underestimate Turkey.

Some students said that the United States and Russia were incompatible with Syria last year? That was already a thing of the past. The solution to the Iranian nuclear issue has already shaken hands and made peace.

International politics has never been an eternal enemy, let alone Russia's opportunity to expand westward by taking advantage of the United States' opportunity to suppress Europe, so why not do it?

The United States proposed a resolution at the UN General Assembly to condemn Russia's annexation of Crimea, which is just a typical manifestation of not only establishing a archway but also being a bitch.

It is because China saw through the performance of the United States that it cast abstentions at the UN General Assembly, which is really boring.

But the situation in Europe is in danger, and only the Eastern Knights can rescue the European princess from the American demons.

This Oriental Knight is China. Why did Xi visit Germany and the EU at this critical moment? Why did the first lady of the United States come to China on the eve of Xi’s visit to Europe? Is this really a coincidence?

The Oriental Knight is very brave and capable. It depends on whether your European princess is willing to marry the Oriental Knight, whether you are willing to give out a generous dowry, and the industrial technology of Germany and the EU.

In fact, Thailand is Ukraine in the East. It is hard to say more in depth. One clue can be mentioned. The key to Thailand is the high-speed rail. The starting point of the high-speed rail is Kunming, China, and the end point is the Kara Canal. What happened to this high-speed rail and its starting point and end point recently? Everyone will understand after thinking about it.
