After defeating Lu Bu and recapturing Yanzhou.
Cao Cao did have the idea of taking revenge on Guo Gong, not to mention that he himself was from Yuzhou, and the core counselors around him were also from Yingchuan, Yuzhou, so he must fight back.
Chen Zhou's thoughts coincided with his.
"Sir, you understand me!"
Cao Cao once again sighed like this.
He felt that he had really met his soulmate, but it was a pity that this soulmate had a special status, and with his suspicious character, he could not have a good time over wine for the time being.
"After defeating Guo Gong, we will welcome the Emperor."
"But to be able to serve the emperor and obey his orders, there is still a prerequisite."
Chen Zhou said again.
Dian Wei asked instinctively: "What premise?"
"Move the capital!"
Chen Zhou said: "Move the capital to Yingchuan, take the emperor away from Luoyang, and leave the core of the Manchu ministers, so that Cao Cao will not be influenced by those ministers, and at the same time weaken the power of the ministers and monopolize power. Cao Cao has a greater advantage in Yingchuan, so moving the capital After Yingchuan, you can do whatever you want, only in this way can you truly serve the emperor and disobey him."
Yingchuan is still the territory of Xun Yu and others.
If you bring the emperor to Yingchuan, you can indeed do a lot of things.
Xun Yu and others nodded slightly, thinking that this idea was still feasible.
"But it's not easy to lead the emperor to move the capital."
Cheng Yu shook his head and said: "Although Guo Si and Li Jue are attacking each other, the Emperor is surrounded by Yang Feng, Zhang Yang, Han Xian and others. They hold military power and will definitely not let us take the Emperor away."
Xi Zhong said: "Because the presence of Yang Feng and others, as well as the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty, would restrain the lord, that gentleman proposed to move the capital and leave Luoyang. He went further than Gongda thought."
"That's right!"
Xun You nodded in agreement and said: "I just thought of welcoming the emperor based on Mao Xiaoxian's words. But what to do after welcoming the emperor? It suddenly became clear at this time. In fact, it is not difficult to get rid of Han Siam and others. If the lord wants to move the capital, there is another one. The biggest obstacle.”
"who?"
Cao Cao asked immediately.
"Yuan Shao!"
Xun You said: "He knows that the lord wants to pick up the emperor and may stop him. I wonder if the gentleman inside has thought about dealing with Yuan Shao?"
The eldest brother Yuan Shao has always been a big mountain weighing on Cao Cao.
When he heard Chen Zhou talking about moving the capital, his eyes shone with light, but when he heard Xun You mention Yuan Shao, his light seemed to be blocked by the rising sun for an instant.
"Yuan Benchu is my biggest obstacle!" Cao Cao thought to himself.
Based on Chen Zhou's words, Cao Ang thought deeply and found that it was not difficult to understand the reason for moving the capital.
Cao Cao has no foundation in Luoyang, and Han Xian and others are here. If King Qin continues to stay in Luoyang, he will basically be unable to do anything. Only on his own territory can he do whatever he wants and display his ambitions.
However, he asked what Cao Cao and the others wanted to know most.
"Yuan Shao won't watch Duke Cao take away the emperor, right?"
Cao Ang believed that the emperor's strategic significance was very important. Now Yuan Shao didn't care, but seeing Cao Cao taking people away, he might have other ideas.
"Yuan Shao can solve it easily."
"This person is fierce and timid, and he is always scheming. He cherishes his own life when doing big things, and forgets his life when he sees small gains."
"As long as the emperor gives him some rewards, makes him a general, and takes charge of the affairs of the four northern states, Cao Cao will pretend to be subordinate to Yuan Shao, continue to recognize Yuan Shao as the big brother, and praise Yuan Shao, and he will be stabilized. .”
"In this way, Yuan Shao will not interfere to welcome the emperor, and he can continue fighting Gongsun Zan with confidence."
Chen Zhou analyzed and said.
Cao Cao lowered his voice and said: "Yuan Benchu and I have known each other for many years, and his character is exactly like this! Sir, you can actually know Yuan Shao's nature, and then use his character to stabilize him. What a wonderful plan!"
"I'm not as good as him!"
Xi Zhong, who was very unconvinced just now, now said with conviction.
They continued to listen.
"Welcome the Emperor, and after Cao Cao has gained his status, he can defeat Yuan Shu."
Chen Zhou's voice sounded again: "I said that Yuan Shu will definitely rebel and then Cao Cao will be able to openly and honestly issue the emperor's order to attack Yuan Shu, just like he did against Dong Zhuo. After this battle, Yuan Shu will die, but the Lord can still go smoothly. Take Xuzhou."
"While we are fighting Yuan Shu, how can we fight Xuzhou again?"
Cao Ang asked again.
"It's easy!"
"In the name of the Emperor, I order Liu Bei and Lu Bu from Xuzhou to fight Yuan Shu together."
"Liu Bei claims to be a clan member of the Han Dynasty, so he will definitely send troops."
"As for Lu Bu, it doesn't matter whether we send troops or not."
"At the same time, if we plan to rebel against Sun Ce and others, I have said that they will definitely rebel against Yuan Shu and seize this opportunity to break away from Yuan Shu's control."
"Cao Cao only needs to send some troops to suppress Huainan, and then use Sun Ce as the main force to attack Yuan Shu. In this way, he can divide his troops to deal with Xuzhou and fight on two fronts."
"But before attacking Xuzhou, we have to improve the relationship between Lu Bu and Liu Bei."
"Lü Bu and Liu Bei are at odds, and one mountain in Xuzhou cannot accommodate two tigers. When Liu Bei went to war, we sent out a letter to recruit Liu Bei to surrender, and to join forces with Liu Bei to deal with Lu Bu. By chance, it was intercepted by Lu Bu, and Xuzhou would be in trouble. It’s wonderful.”
After Chen Zhou finished speaking, Yajian became quiet first.
After hearing this, Cao Ang was thinking about whether it was reasonable to do so.
Dian Wei was simply listening, because it was difficult for him to understand, so he just didn't worry about it and just finished listening.
But after hearing this, he lay down on the desk and took a nap.
It's like a scumbag listening to a math class.
"It works, this plan works!"
Xi Zhong first agreed: "If Yuan Shu really oversteps his bounds, we can take Xuzhou and defeat Lu Bu while dealing with Yuan Shu. When we get Xuzhou, we can then concentrate on Xuzhou's food, grass, and troops to attack Yuan Shu in an all-round way!"
Zhong Yao analyzed: "Once Yuan Shu oversteps his bounds, the aristocratic families in Huainan and other places may not be willing to support him anymore, and his strength will definitely not be as strong as at the beginning. Sun Ce alone can contain him. After the lord obtained Xuzhou, he became more confident. , join forces with Sun Ce to attack, Yuan Shu will die."
"The only problem is that my lord has killed too many people in Xuzhou and may not be able to make Xuzhou obey."
Xun Yu's words were like a bucket of cold water being poured down on his head.
Cao Cao was very excited after hearing their analysis, but Xun Yu's cold water made him frown again.
Without the massacre of Xuzhou, where would the money and food come from to support the surrendered Yellow Turbans?
"Cao Gong is so cruel to Xuzhou, can he really make everyone in Xuzhou obey?"
Cao Ang helped Cao Cao and the others again and asked this question.
Chen Zhou said: "This time we attack Xuzhou, just don't kill anymore! Rule Xuzhou with Xuzhou people, support Chen Deng and other nobles, and show kindness to the nobles, you can still get recognition."
"That's right!"
Cheng Yu clapped his hands and said, "As long as the lord shows his sincerity and is willing to support the Chen family and recruit other noble families, it is not impossible."
"Sir, you are really awesome!"
Cao Ren's admiration for Chen Zhou was like a surging river, endless.
There are not many people who can make Xun You and other scribes full of praise or even admiration. Mr. Xun is definitely the first one.
Cao Cao secretly thought: "I must get such a unicorn talent!"
No matter what, Chen Zhou had to be tied up. If that didn't work, then he would be kept in a cell.
