The frail counselor you said, you fight against three heroes alone?

Chapter 96 What kind of eyes do you have?
Xi Yu smiled lightly, looked at the three of Cao Cao in front of him with fixed eyes, and asked casually.

Regardless of whether Liu Bei will serve as Xuzhou Mu, Cao Jun's attack on Xuzhou has become a fact.

This is something that cannot be changed.

Cao Cao will not give up Xuzhou just because Liu Bei is alone.

The entire Cao Ying will not be shaken by anything that happened in Xuzhou.

So far, it is not as simple as Cao Cao wanting to attack Xuzhou.

All Cao Ying needs is the territory of Xuzhou.

Development is not a matter of one person. Cao Cao is just the leader. After all, with Cao Ying up and down, it is a large team.

The wheels have already rolled, any obstacle, these people will try their best to solve him.

It was the same for Xun Yu in front of him, and it was the same for Cheng Yu, including him, Xi Yu.

"As for Lu Bu?"

"He is arrogant and arrogant, brave but not resourceful. To us, this person is just scabies!"

"It's nothing!"

Turning his gaze to Cheng Yu, after answering all three people's questions, Xi Yu looked at the three people in front of him leisurely.

I heard Xi Yu say so.

Cao Cao and Xun Yu all looked at each other.

The atmosphere in the entire camp seemed to have stopped suddenly.

Immediately afterwards, not long after, the three of them looked at each other, and then they laughed at each other.

Cheng Yu shook his head lightly.

"I said earlier, Feng Yi must know these things well in his heart!"

Today's Cheng Yu, after getting acquainted with Xi Yu, admires him quite a lot.

A person who is not weaker than him in literary talent and planning, and has extremely strong military strategy and military force. Although such a person becomes a colleague, although there is some pressure, in such a world of great controversy.

Who wouldn't be excited!
The corner of Xun Yu's mouth twitched, you boy had already thought about it.

He just didn't go to the government office for so many days.

For Xi Yu, he was even more annoyed.

He obviously has a full belly of talented schemes, but if he does things seriously, the results will naturally be more obvious.

But its lazy and shapeless appearance is really hard to see.

There is no jealousy. For Xi Yu, Xun Yu has long regarded Xi Yu as a younger brother.

When the other party entered Cao Ying earlier, he still wanted to take care of the other party.

However, ever since he realized Xi Yu's abilities little by little, Xun Yu naturally hoped that Xi Yu could do more things.

To be able to end this chaotic world as soon as possible and restore the former prosperity of the great man earlier is what Xun Yu yearns for in his heart.

Looking at Xi Yu in front of him with resentful eyes, Xun Yu's heart is even more convinced at this moment.

He must not let this guy waste his ability, no matter what, he must let Xi Yu display his talent and ability.

Cao Cao at this moment is like taking a sip of the sweet spring that refreshes the heart and soul in the warm spring of March.

After Xi Yu's remarks, he felt an indescribable sense of smoothness all over his body.

it is good!
OK!

Everything Xi Yu said was really not worth paying attention to.

Xuzhou, they are determined to win, and no one can stop them from occupying Xuzhou.

Now, Cao Ren, Xia Houyuan and others are all placed in Xuzhou by him.

Half of Xuzhou is under his command, occupying the entire Xuzhou, and the rest is only a matter of time.

That guy Tao Qian can't last long.

It's just one more Liu Bei, that's all!

"Speaking of Xuzhou, I don't know how Feng Yi sees the current situation in our army?"

It seems that they understand what Cao Cao and Xun Yu want to ask.

At this time, seeing that Xi Yu had no intention of continuing to speak, Cheng Yu beside him helped his beard that was not too long under his forehead, and asked softly with a grin.

As soon as these words were spoken, the expressions of Cao Cao and Xun Yu also became serious.

The three of them came here together, not to see what Xi Yu was doing.

With the return of Cao Cao, the Yanzhou rebellion has almost settled down.

The rest, the most important thing right now, is naturally the matter of Xuzhou.

Yuan Shao now occupies the lands of Jizhou and Qingzhou, and the relationship between the other party and Gongsun Zan is already incompatible.

The two have had a lot of friction on the border.

There have been no less than dozens of fights, big and small, between these two people, there should always be a winner.

And how long can this time last?
As for Yuan Shu in Huainan, he is busy capturing more towns now.

The two brothers of the Yuan family, one from the south and the other from the north, have become existences that the big man can't ignore.

After all, Yanzhou was still caught between the two.

The development of Cao Ying cannot be stagnant, and Xuzhou is a crucial step.

"Xuzhou?"

Xi Yu raised his eyes and looked at the three people in front of him slowly.

Speaking of Xuzhou, it is naturally not an issue of war with Xuzhou on the surface, but a problem within Xuzhou as a whole.

"What do you think of Xuzhou?"

Xi Yu was not in a hurry to express his conclusion, but turned around and asked the three people in front of him.

This situation is no longer a simple chat.

Speaking of business, when the four of them sat around, they became extremely serious with each other.

Xun Yu frowned slightly.

Staring at the table in front of everyone, after thinking for a while, he casually poured some tea on the table.

The modest gentleman in front of him stretched out his hand and dotted the surface of the water.

I saw Xun Yu's fingers sketching on the table, and after a while, a general map of Xuzhou appeared on the table.

This move made Xi Yu frowned slightly.

Even Cao Cao and Cheng Yu couldn't help but open their mouths to praise.

As expected of Xun Yu, the entire landscape of Xuzhou can be outlined simply by relying on some water.

Xun Yu was not complacent about it.

Being in the rear, he is naturally paying attention to the situation in Xuzhou every day.

He has been familiar with Xuzhou's topography for a long time, so it's nothing to sketch it now.

It is not too difficult for anyone to look at the map of Xuzhou every day and outline a general situation and landscape.

What's more, it was Xun Yu.

"Look everyone!"

"At present, our army has occupied Dongguan County, Donghai County and other counties in Xuzhou!"

"The rest are Xuzhou Tancheng, Xiapi and other areas!"

"Our army's Bingfeng is pointing out that Xuzhou is already under our army's Bingfeng. The army is pressing in from multiple directions. It is only a matter of time before Xuzhou is occupied!"

……

Xun Yu didn't say much, but casually pointed out the current situation in Xuzhou on the surface, and immediately looked up at the three people in front of him.

Hearing this, Cao Cao laughed.

"As Wen Ruo said, although our army is confronting the Xuzhou army now, our army's advantages have been fully demonstrated."

"I heard that factions in Xuzhou have started to fight among themselves!"

"Tao Qian is seriously ill now, who has the final say in the whole of Xuzhou, it's not yet determined!"

Cao Cao sneered.

If it hadn't been for his army to press in, I am afraid that the current Xuzhou would be fighting among themselves.

Although Tao Qian wanted Liu Bei to succeed Xuzhou Mu, how could others be willing to do such a thing.

Those aristocratic families who have always been based on Xuzhou, would they want an outsider to ride on their heads?

They don't want to.

To do what no one would want.

These people don't know how many years they have been operating in Xuzhou. After several generations of hard work, they have finally managed to show some sensuality in Xuzhou.

How could you just watch Xuzhou fall into Liu Bei's hands?
"Talking about today's Xuzhou, the Danyang people led by Tao Qian can be regarded as one faction, the local gentry of Xuzhou can be regarded as one faction, and those wealthy merchant families can be regarded as one faction, and so can Liu Bei!"

After Cao Cao's voice fell, Cheng Yu who was next to him followed suit and began to analyze it aloud.

……

Let me talk about Tao Qian first.

He himself was from Danyang, and Tao Qian began to take control of Xuzhou when the imperial court appointed him as the governor of Xuzhou.

After half a lifetime of business, it can be regarded as a sensual business in Xuzhou.

Cao Bao, the most trusted general under his command, is Tao Qian's fellow villager and the person Tao Qian trusts the most.

It's a pity that Cao Bao's ability is limited, and being a general is also reluctant.

He is considered a second-rate general, not a famous general.

But he is loyal to Tao Qian, and the two complement each other, which is not a weak force in Xuzhou.

Tao Qianneng later became Xuzhou Mu, and the Danyang soldiers behind him should not be underestimated.

It is also because of the Danyang soldiers that Tao Qian can become one of the princes in this troubled world.

And when it comes to the Xuzhou gentry.

Naturally, it is the Xuzhou gentry headed by the Chen family, Chen Gui, Chen Deng and his son.

The Chen family is a local noble family in Xuzhou, with several generations of management, they have long been rooted in Xuzhou.

Its forces can be regarded as intertwined in Xuzhou.

The purpose of these gentry families is nothing more than family prosperity, and they don't think much about who is the Xuzhou shepherd.

These gentry value nothing but interests!

Let's talk about the wealthy merchants in Xuzhou.

That is the Mi family and other merchants. Compared with the gentry, their influence in Xuzhou is somewhat weaker.

There is no comparison between merchant families and gentry families.

From the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, when the concept of peasants, farmers, and commerce began to appear.

Although the four classes were different from each other, there was no obvious division at that time.

However, since the pre-Qin period, the contention of a hundred schools of thought has come to an end.

The beginning of Han Wu's exclusive respect for Confucianism, the status of the gentry began to leap forward.

And the status of merchants, with the passage of hundreds of years, has become weaker and weaker without realizing it.

The merchants and wealthy families cannot be compared with the gentry at all.

Although the status of these merchants in Xuzhou is not as good as those of the wealthy families.

And they are naturally not reconciled to this, their purpose is to turn their lintel into a family.

To this end, merchants bet in many ways.

After all, the example of a certain big businessman in the pre-Qin period was already there.

In the final analysis, these merchants actually pay more attention to interests.

Whoever can make them gain greater benefits, they will support whoever stands on their side.

As for the last Liu Bei.

Although he was just an outsider, it was precisely because of Tao Qian's serious illness that Liu Bei, an outsider, suddenly inserted into the situation in Xuzhou, became more important.

Cheng Yu unhurriedly explained the current situation in Xuzhou.

After hearing the other party's analysis, Cao Cao and Xun Yu who were beside him nodded.

Cheng Yu was right.

Their views are not much different.

At this moment, all three of them looked at Xi Yu.

Xi Yu nodded and looked at Cheng Yu.

"The faction that Zhong De said is not much different, but you seem to have overlooked the most important point!"

"Which point?"

Almost subconsciously, Cheng Yu followed suit and blurted out the question.

The factions he mentioned have almost been said, but it is unexpected that there is one point that he has not said.

Cao Cao and Xun Yu also looked at Xi Yu, wanting to hear the other party's different views.

"People!"

"The people of Xuzhou!"

Xi Yu opened his mouth and smiled.

When it comes to the most important existence in Xuzhou, and even the most important existence in this world, it is the ordinary people.

Whether it's a wealthy family, a noble family, or someone else.

No one can be separated from the people.

If there are no ordinary people, where do the aristocracy come from?

As soon as Xi Yu said a word, the three people beside him were startled.

These words hit the nail on the head.

What they had neglected before, now suddenly became clear.

The three of them are all smart people, and some things don't need to be said so thoroughly.

The common people are always an existence that cannot be ignored. After the three of them looked at each other for a while, they couldn't help but smiled wryly.

"After listening to Feng Yi's words today, I realize that I'm still a bit superficial after all!"

Cheng Yu sighed, how could he fail to understand such an obvious truth.

It's just that he is a nobleman himself after all, and the position he stands on is itself different.

Xun Yu didn't make a sound, but his eyes moved slightly as he looked at Xi Yu.

"As Zhong De said, Xuzhou's current situation is like this!"

"Now that Tao Qian is seriously ill, I guess he won't be able to survive this winter, and the Danyang forces under his command will inevitably be controlled by other people in the future."

"And the one who can control this force, I think, should be Liu Bei!"

"As for the Xuzhou gentry, they only want to develop their family. As long as they don't harm the foundation of Xuzhou, these people don't care who controls Xuzhou."

"The same is true for those wealthy merchants!"

"Let's talk about Liu Bei, although he can inherit the power under Tao Qian's command, but because of external reasons."

"The foundation is not deep, even if he succeeds Xuzhou Mu in a short period of time, he will not be able to sit still!"

"It's nothing!"

Xi Yu commented in one breath, and he still paid attention to the nobles and wealthy families, but Liu Bei was nothing to talk about.

Liu Bei is in Xuzhou, and now he is a rootless apple.

"What else does Fengyi have to say?"

After hearing what Xi Yu said, Cao Cao couldn't help asking.

For him, what he wants to hear more at this moment is how they can occupy the entire Xuzhou and bring Xuzhou under their command.

Seeing Cao Cao's appearance, Xi Yu instantly understood what the other party was thinking.

The same is true for Xun Yu and Cheng Yu beside them.

"There is nothing wrong with our army's previous strategy, my lord just needs to continue!"

"My lord, you might as well learn from that Liu Bei!"

"One of his advantages is worth learning from the Lord!"

???

Cao Cao was a little dazed, learning from Liu Bei, what to learn from Liu Bei?
What is there to learn from that guy?

Cao Cao was puzzled, and the two Xun Yu beside him also looked at Xi Yu.

"Benevolence!"

Xi Yu didn't try to show off on purpose, seeing that the three of them were all looking at him, he casually talked about the advantages he saw and recognized in Liu Bei.

Liu Bei can occupy a side in Xuzhou in the current situation.

There is no doubt that he has his own personal charm.

As for Xi Yu, compared to Cao Cao and others, he couldn't be more clear about Liu Bei's cognition.

Whether it is the records in the history books of later generations, or some unofficial history descriptions.

This point of benevolence and righteousness in Liu Bei is something that no one can ignore.

The opponent was able to win over a stall as big as the Shu Han in the later stage, and benevolence and righteousness are what they cannot cover.

Knowing people with discerning eyes, knowing people and using them well, is quite like Liu Bang, the great ancestor of the Han Dynasty.

"Benevolence?"

Cao Cao frowned!

This is something he despises the most. In the current situation in the Han world, there are many princes attacking each other!

What can benevolence and righteousness be counted?
Of course, Cao Cao didn't refute anything about Liu Bei's point.

He had contact with Liu Bei.

The person who helped Kong Rong earlier explained everything.

And his various experiences in Xuzhou cannot be ignored.

"My lord, don't underestimate this. Benevolence and righteousness are nothing to noble families."

"However, this point cannot be ignored!"

"Looking at the world, who doesn't want their immediate boss to be kind?"

"What's more, for the common people in this world, what they want is this kindness!"

"Liu Bei was able to gain such a great reputation in Xuzhou in a short period of time, precisely because of his benevolence and righteousness!"

"When he was in Anxi County, Liu Bei's reputation for benevolence and righteousness was known far and wide!"

Benevolence and righteousness are like a sword.

A sword used well is an omnipotent sword!

Liu Bei created a career with this sword in the following time, but he used this sword well.

The reason why Xi Yu asked Cao Cao to learn!

It is precisely because compared with Liu Bei, this point in Cao Cao is really too inconspicuous.

Even, if it follows the original history.

Cao Cao is a bit cruel to say the least.

Without him, the battle of Xuzhou would have been a massacre in itself, and there were many massacres of the city.

But this time because of him.

Cao Jun's conquest of Xuzhou did not carry out any acts of massacring the city and hurting the people.

It is precisely because of this that Xi Yu asked Cao Cao to learn from Liu Bei.

The sword of benevolence and righteousness can also be used by Cao Cao!

It can even be invincible.

"What Feng Yi said is good!"

"My lord, it's time to learn!"

After hearing Xi Yu's remarks, Xun Yu next to him nodded and smiled.

What the people of the world want is a benevolent and righteous king.

The people of Xuzhou also want their state shepherd to be a benevolent and righteous gentleman.

Previously, Tao Qian did a good job on this point, and it was precisely because of this that Tao Qian was able to gain a good reputation in the Xuzhou management office.

Tao Qian chose Liu Bei, perhaps this is what he valued.

"I have no opinion!"

Cheng Yu nodded with a smile, and the eyes of the three fell on Cao Cao in unison.

The latter raised his eyelids.

What does it mean? !
Feelings, do you think that I, Lao Cao, is not a benevolent person? -
