Chapter 85 The Brothers Persuade Lao Cao
Moving the capital is a must, and this general direction will not change.
Yizhou has the appearance of dragon prosperity, but it also has the situation of trapping dragons. If it weren't for Liu Xie's strong strength and if it weren't for his good luck, it wouldn't be so simple to play Yizhou for the first time. Think about how many times in history, the brothers wanted to break out of Yizhou but ended in failure!
In fact, whether it is a dragon's success or a trapped dragon depends on whether the opponent is strong or not. For Liu Paopao in history, when encountering an opponent like Lao Cao and Zhu Ge meets an opponent like Sima, he will only sigh at the sky and sigh at what he can do.
But for Liu Xie, Li Guo, Ma Han, and the generals of Guanzhong are all in a mess, unable to concentrate their strength at all, and there is no strong enough strategist to provide them with big directions and big strategies. On the other hand, Liu Xie, the three major strategists of the Military Affairs Department will just pull out one of them, which is enough for these people to drink a pot, let alone the three of them all. The generals are even more fierce...
In this way, if you can't escape from Yizhou, then Liu Xie can really stay in Yizhou and wait for death. How can you say unify the world?
If you continue to stay in Chengdu, you can reduce the tension between Lao Yuan and Lao Cao, but it will be a big blow to your momentum.
I had originally planned to recover Xiliang first and then develop the Western Regions. As for Li and Guo, I would drag it on like that. When Yuan and Cao started the war, I would take down the two thieves Li and Guo in one fell swoop, and then silently develop Luoyang when Yuan and Cao started the war.
But now, the two thieves Li and Guo were directly taken down. It is foreseeable that the surrender of Ma and Han. If Luoyang is still developed, will Lao Cao and Lao Yuan continue to go to war? In history, before Lao Cao and Lao Yuan started the war, Lao Cao actually didn't want to fight with Lao Yuan, because he was also very miserable at that time.
But now, Lao Cao did not start a war with Zhang Xiu, and did not fight with Lu Bu for long. He easily took down Yan, Xu and Yu, and there was no big problem in going to a war with Lao Yuan. But the key is that he had to be careful of being taken advantage of by Liu Xie!
If someone restrains Liu Xie, then this worry would not be too great, but now, who else can restrain him?
...
Just as Liu Xie and the others were discussing how to break the situation, Zhu Ge, Zhang Liao, Lu Meng and others came to Xuchang in a swagger.
They came with the slogan of persuading Lao Cao. Of course, this is an external statement. After all, Liu Xie is an emperor and the emperor of the Han Dynasty. He can't directly recognize Lao Cao's identity and cooperate with Lao Cao! Then he will be scolded by others and will be miserable!
On the night when Zhuge and his team came to Xuchang, Lao Cao, as Sikong, was entertaining you in the mansion. Although Lao Cao had already dominated the court at this time, the prime minister system had not been restored. Of course, this is too soon. Anyway, the court is full of Lao Cao's people. Those who are dissatisfied with Lao Cao will not come to Lao Cao to suffer this crime. After all, besides Lao Cao, there are three other emperors in the world!
If you don’t leave me here, you will have a place to leave me!
Therefore, except for not moving into the Xuchang Palace, Lao Cao was basically no different from the emperor.
Lao Cao was happy to see the arrival of Zhu Ge and others. But the slogans they came to persuade the surrender made Lao Cao dislike it. Of course, if you don’t like it, Lao Cao has no choice! The mouth is on others, so how can you still care about it?
Lao Cao actually admires Liu Xie's move of "making a archway even if he is a frame, he still needs to set up a archway." Only such a person is worthy of becoming his opponent!
As a superior, this kind of shame is also needed, so Liu Xie will naturally not be so stupid and has a real demographic.
At the dinner, Lao Cao sighed that his target was Zhang Liao, saying that he was unable to "keep" him when he was in Xuzhou, which was very polite. In Lao Cao's eyes, only Zhang Liao was the only one who could catch his eyes on him. Of course, Chen Gong said something else!
But Lao Cao also knew that Chen Gong was too straightforward, and he could not get along with someone like him who had to say things three times. And Lao Cao could not accommodate him, Chen Gong! Therefore, even if Chen Gong was caught, there was actually only one way to choose, because Chen Gong could not surrender to him again.
But Lao Cao was really unhappy about Lu Bu's escape! Because Lu Bu was a tiger! Now that he escaped, wouldn't it be a tiger returning to the mountains? Therefore, Lao Cao liked Liu Xie was very wary of Lu Bu and secretly suppressed Lu Bu and the others... Unfortunately, when Zhang Liao surrendered to his minister, he knew that Lu Bu would definitely be very comfortable with Liu Xie's side. As long as Lu Bu restrains his arrogance, then...
Originally, Lao Cao thought that the young Zhuge Liang came here to be an envoy, and the slogan was just a shout, but what he didn't expect was that after the wine was thirty-three days old and the dishes were five flavors, the young man actually began to persuade him to surrender.
Brother Zhu’s reason is very good and powerful: Cao Sikong, are you still a citizen of the Han Dynasty?
Is Cao Sikong, I heard that your dream was to show off your power like the other generals of Wei and Huo. Is this dream still there now?
May I ask Cao Sikong, are you confident that you are Your Majesty’s opponent?
...
The series of questions left Lao Cao speechless until he was silent for a while before he slapped his hands and laughed.
But at this moment, after a look of Lao Cao, a young man who was about the same age as Zhuge bowed to Zhuge and said, "Sima Yi, whose courtesy name is Zhongda, I feel that Zhuge's words were actually inappropriate. Sikong was a minister of the Han Dynasty, so why isn't Sikong working hard to realize his dream when Sikong was young? But there are many difficulties and obstacles ahead, and Sikong needs to step out step by step. As for what Zhuge's envoy said, whether he has confidence in dedication to His Majesty... So what if there is no confidence? The Han Dynasty can only have one emperor, Xuchang, who is orthodox. I want to persuade the envoy to say that it is the best strategy to abandon the darkness and turn to the light. The wisdom of the envoy should not be deceived by others and keep the audio-visual..."
Seeing this young man with a look and look a little sinister, Zhu Ge chuckled and bowed to him, "It turns out that you are Sima Zhongda (the name of 'Sima Bada' in the Sima family of Hanoi, which was not so famous during this period). He has long been revered to the famous name! At that time, you are not bad. There can only be one emperor in the world of the Han Dynasty. I would like to ask you, Xuchang is the descendant of the late emperor? Does he have the blood of the late emperor? There is an old saying that the king is the leader of the minister, the father is the leader of the son, and the actions of your master are actually a dissatisfied. As a Han citizen, don't you feel that what you do is actually a shame to the ancestors?" (To be continued...)
