As Guo Jia said, Cao Cao's rule was based on the wealthy families, great families, and clans. He started out as a wealthy family. The power of a wealthy family, clans, and clans inevitably became his main force. Xiahou Dun, Cao Hong and others were all from wealthy families. Cao Cao needed the financial resources and support and help of the wealthy families, clans, and clans. Of course, Cao Cao, who was keen and had high IQ, must have seen the harm of the wealthy families, clans, and clans after being too powerful, so he adopted the strategy of supporting one faction and fighting one faction, which inevitably led to the long-term existence of internal insolidity and unstable factors.

Lu Bu and Chen Gong's rebellion in Yanzhou were just switches. Although Cao Cao established a regime in history and controlled the government, he only maintained it and perished in the second lifetime. This is the best proof. In addition, Cao Cao rose up based on the old forces, and there were inevitably disadvantages among the old forces. The biggest problem is that Cao Cao's idea of ​​governing the country still adopted the Confucianism system.

What is Confucianism? It is a powerful tool for destroying the country, a fallacy that fools the people, and a feudal ruler randomly fabricated and deceives the people for the sake of his solid dominance. More than two thousand years of history has long proved that whenever our nation gets rid of foreign rule, the ruler will put Confucian shackles on the nation again, which of course also means a new round of destruction of the country and the destruction of the nation, and the fate of becoming a slave is inevitable.

For more than 2,000 years, not only the Chinese nation was a victim under the armed forces of Confucianism. It was Xixia, in the four battles of Hexi in the Song Dynasty, it was difficult to conquer a large area, establish a country and be king, and also let the emperors of the Song Dynasty pay tribute. At that time, you could imagine how fierce they were, how powerful the soldiers were in combat, and how strong the nation's sense of responsibility was. However, after the establishment of the country, the King of Western Xia made a stupid decision that was dazed and watered, requiring everyone to learn Confucianism and arm the people with Confucianism. Everyone knows the final outcome, that is, the demise of the Western Xia Kingdom. Before Confucianism, Xixia could conquer and fight well... After Confucianism, it was the fate of the country's destruction. Shouldn't this be thought deeply?

If Cao Cao continued to adopt Confucianism to govern the country, his demise would be a matter of time. If Lu Ning did not destroy him, he would also perish himself. This is the fate of respecting Confucianism and cannot be avoided. Confucianism does have many essences, but not all the contents in Confucianism are good. Times are different, and many Confucian contents are no longer suitable for the needs of social development. Moreover, even Confucius could not predict the social development, economic development, humanistic progress, and scientific and technological development in hundreds of years or thousands of years. Confucius could not imagine that there would be aircraft, missiles, televisions, movies, mobile phones, satellites and other things to appear in two thousand years.

Of course, the most important thing to defeat Cao Cao is confidence, and confidence is built on the basis of sufficient preparation, which is not blindly optimistic. Over the years, Lu Ning has been making all kinds of full preparations, whether in science and technology, food and grass reserves, economic foundation, weapons and equipment, population size, people's hearts, and has achieved remarkable results. These will enhance Lu Ning's confidence in winning.

Lu Ning was in the storm again. Of course, the content of his storm cannot be told to his civil and military officials. If he said it, it would be even worse than the magnitude 8 earthquake. Lu Ning is a modern person, and of course he knows much more than those from more than 2,000 years ago. This is accumulating knowledge for more than 2,000 years. This is not something that personal ability can do. It is obtained through the experience, summary, research and innovation of countless ancestors in the past dynasties.

After a long time, Sima Lang said again: "Brother, why are you always distracted today? Is it because of long-distance fatigue or why?"

You kid is thinking about things again, always thinking about me to the disadvantages. Lu Ning glared at Sima Lang and said, "I'm thinking that Cao Cao has a new starting point now. What will he do next? Lao Cao is a person who is unwilling to be lonely. Who will he do first?"

Lu Ning's few short words made the civil and military officials at his subordinates think deeply, yes, will Cao Cao start a sword in the future? The food and grass in Cao Cao's hands have never been relaxed. According to historical records, Cao Cao's many battles were terminated early due to problems with food and grass supply, but Cao Cao also grew stronger and stronger in continuous battles, which is similar to Mao's protracted war.

After thinking for a while, Tian Chou said, "Lord, Cao Cao lacks sufficient food and grass. He should not have a big battle, nor will he find difficult bones to chew. He will only attack the weak princes. I guess he should first attack Qingzhou. Qingzhou has been harmed by the Yellow Turban Army for many years. His governor Tian Kai is even more incompetent, and he does not have many army at hand, and he is even less capable of fighting."

Ju Su continued: "Qingzhou is a bone, and it is impossible to satisfy Cao Cao's appetite. Obtaining Qingzhou territory will not increase his strength. I think Cao Cao will probably have the idea of ​​Xuzhou. Xuzhou has developed very well under the governance of the late Lord Tao Qian for many years and is also a relatively wealthy place. If Cao Cao conquers Xuzhou, his food and grass will be fundamentally alleviated, and Xuzhou's large amount of money and food will provide sufficient guarantee for his army."

Tian Feng said: "Yongzhou is the imperial capital. The geographical location is very important. It is a place that is easy to defend and difficult to attack. There are large areas of land and population. Now Cao Cao has occupied Sizhou, and now only Zhang Ji's army is there in Yongzhou. His strength is relatively weak. He is very likely to solve the Yongzhou problem first. Once Cao occupied Yongzhou, his war horses would have a place to buy, which is also very useful for restraining our army. At the same time, he can also look at Liangzhou and Hanzhong and threaten Jingzhou. It is a place where military strategists must fight for."

Guo Jia continued: "Analysis based on Cao Cao's personality traits, although Qingzhou is a bone, he will never let it go; Xuzhou is the place he has long wanted to get; Yongzhou is even a place he must fight for. I guess Cao Cao doesn't want to lose any of the three places, and he wants to grab all three of them, so that his strength will reach a higher level and he will have the ability to fight against us."

After hearing this, Sima Lang said, "Fengxiao's words are a bit lingering. Cao Cao has the ability to eat Qingzhou, Xuzhou and Yongzhou at once. Although they have more than 200,000 troops under their command, the shortage of food and grass restricts his actions. Cao Cao now has the ability to carry out a limited small-scale battle, and he cannot support a large battle, and it is even more impossible to dispatch three armies to fight at the same time."

After hearing this, Zhang also said, "Boda is right. Cao Cao has excess food and grass. Once the army moves, it requires a large amount of food and grass supply. Once the food and grass are cut off, the three armies will be in chaos. What else can you do to conquer it?"

After hearing everyone's words, Lu Ning laughed and said, "Yes, Fengxiao is right. Lao Cao is a person with a strong possessive desire and a very ambitious person. He must be what Qingzhou, Xuzhou and Yongzhou want, and he will also attack these three places at the same time. Although he is currently in short supply of food and supplies, it will not affect his military operations. Of course, some places do not have to send troops first, and other means can also achieve the goal. The counselors under Cao Cao are not simple. Although the military advisor Xi Zhicai died, Xun Yu, Xun You, Cheng Yu, Xu You, and Dong Zhao are not fuel-efficient, especially Er Xun is a genius in the mining world. With these great talents, it is very easy to solve these three places."

Zhao Yun immediately said as soon as he heard this, "Brother, since we know that Cao Cao is going to attack Yongzhou, we should start first. That place is indeed very important to our army. Moreover, there is only Zhang Ji, an army in Yongzhou, and the defense is relatively weak, so our army can quickly solve it."

Ju Su said: "Our army is not sending troops to deal with Yongzhou. We must also prepare for war to Ma Teng in Xiliang. With the information we have received, Ma Teng is now preparing to attack Yongzhou. This is also the territory that Ma Teng wants to occupy for many years. Ma Teng has more than 100,000 Xiliang Iron Cavalry in his hands, and his strength is not much worse than Cao Cao. It is just that there is no manpower in strategy, otherwise it will be difficult to deal with. It is also a strong opponent. If Ma Teng joins with Han Sui again, it will be a little troublesome. Han Sui is the best at conspiracy and tricks. If he joins hands, then they will have more than 200,000 Xiliang Iron Cavalry in their hands, and they are also troops who can conquer war-friendly. It is not easy for our army to bear it."

Tian Chou continued: "Ma Teng from Xiliang needs to make preparations, and our army's defense in Donglai County, Qingzhou. Cao Cao must take action against Qingzhou. Our army must also attach great importance to it and cannot let Lao Cao take advantage of our loopholes. After all, Donglai's development has changed greatly in recent years, and there is also a large amount of food and grass reserves in our army, which is also the temptation to attract Cao Cao to take risks."

After hearing this, Guo Jia said, "Zi Tai, mainly in Donglai, said that once Lao Cao took action against Qingzhou, our army would accept Le'an and ensure the safety of Kongrong, Beihai. This is also very important to our army. In this way, we will completely control the three coastal counties in Qingzhou."

Tian Feng looked at Lu Ning and then said, "Lord, will Lao Cao really use the emperor to order other princes to restrain our army's attack? Will the emperor give orders to Liu Bei from Xuzhou to attack Donglai, Yuan Shu attack Lujiang, Ma Teng attacks our northern land, Shuofang and other places, as well as Sun Ce from Jiangdong and Liu Biao from Jingzhou, all may become the guns in Cao Cao's hands."

After listening to the analysis of his advisers, Lu Ning thought, he was such a talented person. No one of them was bad. As long as he studied, he could immediately analyze the situation thoroughly, study the problems clearly, and take into account various accidents.

Lu Ning nodded and smiled and said, "Cao Cao will definitely play the trick of holding the emperor and ordering the princes. Otherwise, he will hijack the emperor, what's the point of court? It's just that the princes in the world listen to his mercy. Liu Biao from Jingzhou has been taught a lesson by our army, and probably won't dare to attack us easily; Yuan Shu may want to take advantage; Sun Ce does not have the energy to consider attacking our army now, and his main task is to completely control Jiangdong; Ma Teng will definitely use this excuse to attack Yongzhou or our northern land, Shuofang area; Liu Bei from Xuzhou must take strict precautions, this person is the most sinister and cunning, and the most despicable."

After hearing this, Sima Lang said worriedly: "Brother, as you said, this is not a complete move, so can our army bear the consequences? So many princes attack us, so that will not become the princes united to deal with us."

After hearing this, Zhao Yun burst into laughter and said in a strong tone: "Fifth brother, what's the scarf? Is our army vegetarian? The sabers, spears, bows and arrows in the hands of our soldiers are made of tofu? Over the years, we have followed our elder brother, and have never encountered any kind of war and any kind of opponent. Will the combat power of the soldiers in the hands of the princes be stronger than the cavalry of foreign barbarians such as the Xiongnu, Xianbei tribe?"

After hearing Zhao Yun's words, Taishici immediately said, "Yes, our hands are still itchy. Everyone complained that there was no war. Now that we can fight happily, we can fight happily again. This is what makes me feel good." After saying that, he laughed.

Lu Ning looked at everyone and said firmly: "Then let's show the great strength of our army to the princes in the world. The General Staff Department immediately made a combat plan, the Logistics Department prepared various war materials, and the Ministry of War prepared pre-war mobilization of soldiers and started to handle it immediately."

Everyone said in unison: "On the Lord."
