Without Cao Cao's favor, how could the Gongsun family dominate Liaodong?
It is no exaggeration to say that this kind of kindness from two lifetimes is as heavy as a mountain!
It is also the source of Cao Cao's confidence.
"Father, do you want our brothers to defect to Gongsun's family?"
"But even my father is no match for Liu Zhang. How dare Gongsun Kang become Liu Zhang's enemy?"
Although the idea was good and the reason was extremely appropriate, Cao Chong still had doubts.
Without Cao Cao, the behemoth Liu Zhang became almost untouchable!
Why does little Liaodong dare to disobey?
"Hehehehe..."
Cao Cao stroked his beard and chuckled, very confident.
"Chong'er, it seems you still need to study more!"
"Please give me some advice from my father."
Seeing how humble Cao Chong was, Cao Cao became even less stingy.
"Chong'er, human desires are unlimited! Just imagine, a person who has been dominant for many years and does whatever he wants, how can he be willing to be restricted by others?"
"As far as I know, Gongsun Kang is even more ambitious than Gongsun Du. He has dominated Liaodong for many years and will never allow others to get involved!"
"No matter how strong Liu Zhang is, he will still fight hard to retain his position as the overlord!"
Cao Chong suddenly realized.
"Father, do you want to use Gongsun Kang's power to let our brothers use Liaodong to resist Liu Zhang?"
Cao Cao chuckled and shook his head.
"No!"
Cao Chong was stunned.
"No? That is?"
"Replace it!"
Cao Cao's eyes flashed.
"Although I didn't take Liaodong, I am very familiar with the affairs of Liaodong."
"Gongsun Kang has 50,000 elite soldiers under his command, and there are mountains of food! In fact, 50,000 elite soldiers are not terrible, but the terrain in Liaodong is too dangerous, and 50,000 elite soldiers can even be compared to two or three hundred thousand!"
"At the same time, the land in Liaodong is bitterly cold and difficult to march. Even Liu Zhang would have difficulty conquering it!"
Cao Chong nodded as if he understood.
"Father, the Gongsun family has been entrenched in Liaodong for many years, and Gongsun Kang is very ambitious. How can he be unprepared for our brothers?"
"Besides, we are new here and have no power, so what..."
Cao Chong racked his brains and didn't know what to do.
It was completely beyond his ability to accomplish this under these conditions.
Suddenly, Cao Chong's eyes lit up.
"Father, could it be that I asked my eldest brother to gather the troops of Youzhou and go to Liaodong?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Cao Chong shook his head and denied it.
"This is impossible. If we lead troops into Liaodong, it will definitely arouse Gongsun Kang's vigilance, which will be even more detrimental to the uprising."
After a long time, Cao Chong looked apologetic.
"Father, please forgive my child for his incompetence..."
"Chong'er doesn't have to be like this."
Cao Cao consoled him and said he didn't blame him.
For Cao Chong, it was normal not to think of a solution.
After all, I have never experienced this kind of intrigue since I was a child, so I need to learn slowly.
"Chong'er, I have already told you in the brochure. When the time comes, you can just act according to the plan."
"As a father, I won't hide it from you. The key to winning Liaodong lies in You Beiping fighting against Liu Zhang's army! Only in this way can we gain Gongsun Kang's trust."
"As long as Gongsun Kang feels that his rule is about to end, he will definitely choose to unite you brothers!"
"By the way, I have special instructions for Tian Yu, the governor of Youzhou. He will do his best to help you. Tian Yu is a great talent in both civil and military affairs. You must rely on him more. With his help, you brothers can get twice the result with half the effort!"
Cao Chong bowed his hands and saluted.
"Father, don't worry, my child, please be careful!"
"It's just big brother..."
Cao Chong is not worried about Cao Zhang and Cao Zhi. For the great cause of the Cao family, nothing will happen to them.
But Cao Pi was different.
There is quite a bit of jealousy, especially towards their brothers.
just in case. . .
"Chong'er, the reason for letting Zhi'er and Zhang'er go together is to restrain your elder brother."
"In terms of literary talent, Cao Zhi is stronger, and in terms of bravery, ten Cao Pi are no match for Cao Zhang. Only by making Cao Zhi and Cao Zhang an indispensable support for Cao Pi can he unite his brothers!"
"If Cao Pi still wants to eliminate dissidents at that time, then...it's time for the Cao family to perish."
Cao Chong looked gloomy and couldn't help but ask questions.
"Father, where is the child?"
Cao Cao had complicated eyes and said nothing more.
In fact, he was also very worried about Cao Chong's comfort.
Cao Chong was so smart that even Cao Cao was amazed. To Cao Pi, he was like a sharp sword hanging on his forehead.
It is impossible for Cao Pi not to worry that one day Cao Chong will replace him.
However, Cao Cao had already warned many times in his brochure that the person to revive the Cao family must be Cao Chong.
If Cao Pi still has any humanity and conscience, he should know what to do.
"Chong'er, trust your elder brother..."
Cao Cao really didn't know how to explain to Cao Chong, so he quickly changed the topic.
"If everything goes well, you can replace Gongsun Kang and capture 50,000 elite soldiers and the land of Liaodong. This will give you the capital to settle down and live!"
"Then what? Can the land of Liaodong resist Liu Zhang's attack?"
Cao Chong also changed the topic very wisely.
Of course, problems arise.
Liaodong, no matter how you look at it, is not enough to resist Liu Zhang.
Otherwise, why would Gongsun Kang unite with Cao Pi and others?
"Hehehe, my father didn't ask you to resist Liu Zhang."
Cao Cao never expected from the beginning to the end that Cao Pi could defeat Liu Zhang and regain control of the world.
How could he place his hopes on Cao Pi when he couldn't even do it himself?
What Cao Cao wants is for the Cao family to live and pass on the legacy!
As long as it can be passed on, that's fine.
It doesn't matter where.
As long as the Cao family occupies a piece of land and becomes the master, that's enough!
"Chong'er, there is a small country in the northeast of Liaoning called Goguryeo. The people here are timid and cowardly, but greedy by nature."
"Goguryeo is different from the Xiongnu, Xianbei and other nomadic peoples. They have cities and their living habits are very similar to ours, so it is an excellent place for you to gain a foothold!"
"After taking Liaodong, quickly pack up all the food, grass and baggage and go north to conquer Goguryeo in one go! Rely on the mountains and terrain there to stop the Han army's attack. From now on, you can survive in Goguryeo!"
"Work hard, work hard, prepare for war! If the world changes, attack; if the world remains unchanged, settle down and live in peace!"
"This is the only way I can find for your brothers!"
