Chen Xi was stunned and silently closed the document. He remembered that in history, Taishan was originally occupied by Cao Cao. Then Tao Qian fought several times because of Cao Cao's coveting of Xuzhou, as well as the Shu Alliance, Shao Alliance and other reasons. The two sides Having formed a deadly feud, there was no possibility of Tao Qian handing over Xuzhou to Cao Cao.
As for this life, Liu Bei lived in Mount Tai, and Cao Cao and Tao Qian were not even close to each other, so those great wars in history could not have happened. Tao Qian simply played soy sauce in the magic alliance until his health failed.
For Tao Qian in this life, it doesn't matter that he handed over Xuzhou to Liu Bei and Cao Cao because he was old and frail. He had no grudges with either party, and both Cao and Liu showed their potential.
However, Liu Bei's previous attack on Yuan Shu left Tao Qian with the impression of betraying the alliance. Although Liu Bei never joined the alliance, it was easier for Cao Cao, who was innocent, to gain Tao Qian's favor.
[To put it this way, Tao Qian actually selected Zhou Mu to find a backer for his two sons, or to let the Tao family pass on. It is depressing. It is equivalent to saying that we have created too much thinking time for Tao Qian, so that Tao Qian fully understood that his two sons were useless and there was no way for the Tao family to continue in this troubled world. ¡¿
Chen Xi pinched his eyebrows and thought with a headache, the human heart is so strange. If Tao Qian and Cao Cao fight a little every three days and a big fight every five days, then he will naturally regard Cao Cao as his mortal enemy, and no one can give Xuzhou to Cao Cao. , but the current situation is completely different from the historical Xuzhou incident!
There are only two forces that are really bordering around Tao Qian. One is Liu Bei and the other is Yuan Shu, these two forces. Liu Bei would definitely not have Tao Qian's idea, and Yuan Shu was a loyal leader. Tao Qian was the first to respond to his influence. In his opinion, he was the younger brother. According to Yuan Shu's way of thinking, the boss wanted to protect the younger brother. Naturally, I won¡¯t fight.
This led to a very strange situation. It was clear that the entire Central Plains was reduced to a pot of porridge. On the contrary, there is no danger to defend Xuzhou, which can be said to be a fat area in the eyes of all the princes. But he was so peaceful and calm that he couldn't even show up, so Tao Qian could only farm. Farming, he has a lot of time to think about life and the problems of his two sons.
Speaking of farming, anyone with a sound mind can do it. In addition, Xuzhou has been having good weather for many years. After Tao Qian came out to support Emperor Xian, he insisted on the Han law of thirty taxes per cent. Although there were exploits by aristocratic families, Xuzhou was really good after two or three years. Every household has a surplus of food.
It is precisely because there is no war at all in Xuzhou. And Tao Qian adopted a free-range policy, which led to Tao Qian's prestige greatly increasing in the past three years. It can be said that to this extent, the family no longer has the idea of ????taking advantage of Tao Qian. On the contrary, Tao Qian was free to think about how to suppress the local Xuzhou family.
"In other words, this was really done by the Xuzhou Cao family?" Chen Xi looked at Jia Xu speechlessly and asked.
"That's it, because Tao Gongzu has freed up his hands and is constantly weakening the strength of the family and strengthening the power of Zhou Mu. This is also the confidence that Tao Gongzu can choose Zhou Mu on his own." Jia Xu said with a wry smile. "This is also the reason why Tao Gongzu vomited blood after Cao Mengde massacred Xuzhou."
Chen Xi was completely speechless. This would probably make anyone vomit blood. Tao Qian finally freed up his hands and successfully suppressed the wealthy families in Xuzhou, and then selected a Cao Cao who had a similar style to him, was tough-minded, and quite trustworthy, and planned to give Xuzhou to him before his health failed. , as a result, Cao Cao came up and wasted all his efforts.
"Cao Mengde went too far and didn't even send an envoy to question him." Chen Xi sighed and said, "I was so angry that I got an astonishing amount of wealth from the massacre of Xuzhou, so I didn't need to stop. But it's a pity. At this point, Tao Gongzu's prestige is over. Both the family and Cao Cao will pin the direct cause of the massacre on Tao Gongzu, and all the previous efforts have been in vain. "
"Yes, so now I have confirmed that there were local families among Cao Mengde's massacre troops who contributed to the flames." Jia Xu said with a look of disgust. Of course, he also had some evidence, otherwise he would not have said this.
"Some aristocratic families are indeed nothing. Tell me, who is adding fuel to the flames." Chen Xi said with a frown.
"Zei Rong, Que Xuan, and the Xuzhou Cao family may have instigated the thugs and refugees." Jia Xu said.
"Just destroy it when the time comes." A cold light flashed in Chen Xi's eyes, and he issued the killing order without hesitation. At this time, it is better to be decisive, "By the way, should Cao Bao lead the army?"
"Yes!" Jia Xu nodded and said.
"What a plan!" Chen Xi sneered, "Killing Cao Jugao caused the war in Xuzhou, and then contributed to it. I guess if Cao Cao didn't massacre, he would also create opportunities for massacre., attack Tao Gongzu¡¯s prestige, and then lead his troops to defeat Cao Cao, returning power to the family again, and regaining their prestige. What a good plan! "
When Chen Xi said this, he did not hide his murderous intent in his eyes. This kind of person, Chen Xi, has already issued a killing order and treats the people as pigs and dogs, so he will also treat them as pigs and dogs. There is nothing to say.
"Cao Bao miscalculated that Tao Gongzu wanted to give Xuzhou to Cao Cao, but he was very lucky because Cao Cao did not send an envoy to question him, which directly doomed the result. It was a mistake and a mistake!" Jia Xu said this extremely The helplessness.
"I have already conducted an investigation about Cao Bao. If nothing else, Xuzhou will be defeated this time." Jia Xu then said with a wry smile, "Although I don't want to admit it, Cao Mengde is really good at leading the army, and there is no food problem when he plundered Xuzhou , Cao Bao was 90% defeated before the Lord passed by. "
"Don't worry about him. Veteran Danyang knows how to escape even if he is defeated. Let's go rescue Cao Bao. Depending on how stupid that guy is, he might even help Cao Cao and attack our military formation in case he is kidnapped. Even if you don't die, you will be disabled." Chen Xi waved his hand, showing no interest in Cao Bao's life and death, "Let's order people to level the Cao family in Xuzhou."
"Oh, I have ordered people to deceive those bandits and thugs in Xuzhou." Jia Xu nodded and said, "This is basically the case in Xuzhou. In the current situation, as long as we defeat Cao Mengde, Tao Gongzu will There is a 90% chance of passing it on to the lord."
"Well, I know this aspect, and I'll leave the rest to you." Chen Xi sighed and said, Jia Xu was much better at playing these than Chen Xi.
"Don't worry, I will give you a satisfactory answer when the time comes." A hint of ridicule appeared on Jia Xu's face. He didn't like the aristocratic family very much, but with Jia Xu's character, as long as the aristocratic family did not cause trouble, he would not specifically target the aristocratic family. After considering the current situation, Jia Xu doesn't mind a few typical examples.
A cold and sinister smile appeared on both Jia Xu and Chen Xi's faces, which made Fazheng sitting aside feel a little chilly. (To be continued)
