After Chen Zhou said this, Cao Cao suddenly became enlightened.
I finally believe that fighting Yuan Shao is not that difficult, but it may be a little uncomfortable in the early stage. As long as they survive the early stage, they can turn defeat into victory and grind Yuan Shao to the ground.
"Yuan Shaozhen, won't you waste time with us?"
Cao Ang was more worried about this.
If Yuan Shao wants to spend, they really can't. The counselors around Yuan Shao will not fail to see this.
Chen Zhou analyzed and said: "Yuan Shao's character has a fatal flaw, which is destined to make it impossible for him to spend time with us. The Lord should know this best. Yuan Shao will definitely maintain his own strength and confront us head-on. He will attack forcefully as soon as we block it. If we can withstand the strong attack, everything that follows will not be a problem. The key to reversing the situation of the battle lies in food and grass."
"That's right!"
Cao Cao knew very well what Yuan Shao's character was.
Chen Zhou also emphasized Yuan Shao's character many times, which was the key to their victory and the key to Yuan Shao's failure.
"There are many counselors around Yuan Shao, but they are divided into different interest groups."
Chen Zhou continued: "Those counselors are obviously divided into two major factions. One is the Ru Ying faction that followed Yuan Shao's rise, and the other is the local Jizhou faction recruited by Yuan Shao to replace Han Fu in order to win people's hearts. "
Hearing that Chen Zhou knew so clearly about Yuan Shao's internal situation, Cao Cao and his son thought about the situation of the counselors around Yuan Shao, and found that this was indeed the case, and nodded in agreement.
"Tian Feng and Jushu are the other two."
"They have better abilities. If Yuan Shao is willing to do what these two people say, we may have no chance of winning."
"But loyal words are harsh to the ears, and words that are truly kind to Yuan Shao are not what Yuan Shao likes to hear."
"Yuan Shao is such a great person."
"The counselors of the Ruying faction, such as Guo Tu and others, are destined to be at odds with Tian Feng and others."
"Everything that Tian Feng and two people agree with, they will oppose. They should cater to Yuan Shao to oppose it. Say a few words that Yuan Shao likes, and Yuan Shao can put aside Tian Feng and two people's reminders."
"Actually, Yuan Shao is not scary."
Although Chen Zhou was not in Yecheng, he still knew everything around Yuan Shao.
If Yuan Shao was willing to listen to Tian Feng's initial suggestions, Boss Cao could now say that he was either about to die, or he would have to humbly go to Yecheng to plead guilty and truly become a little brother.
In fact, Yuan Shao's failure is not necessarily due to his character flaws or the conflict between his advisers.
During the Battle of Guandu, Yuan Shao controlled the four northern states, had many soldiers and generals, and abundant food and grass. With such strength and foundation, it was easy for him to feel dizzy, thinking that he was invincible and could lead his troops to crush Henan.
When it reached a certain level, he couldn't listen to other words and only wanted to attack and crush them.
For example, Boss Cao, who unified the north, also failed when facing Sun and Liu. He suffered a defeat in Chibi. Although he was different from Yuan Shao, the direction of failure was still similar.
It can be seen that pride makes people fail.
"However, there is one more thing we need to pay attention to."
Chen Zhou continued: "If I were Yuan Shao, I would definitely open a second battlefield."
"Second battlefield?"
After hearing this, Cao Cao asked: "Do you mean Liu Biao when crossing the river? Or Sun Ce?"
Chen Zhou shook his head and said: "Sun Ce won't live long. According to Liu Biao... Zhang Xian will rebel soon. He can't even take care of himself. It's unlikely that he will help Yuan Shao open a second battlefield. I'm just saying that there is a possibility. , you need to be careful, because as soon as the second battlefield begins, the lord may be in a dilemma."
In their understanding, Liu Bei probably wouldn't survive.
The people who helped Yuan Shao open the second battlefield were Liu Bei, Liu Pi and other Yellow Turban remnants.
If Liu Bei is gone, it is difficult to guarantee whether Yuan Shao will contact Liu Pi and others. It is still necessary to remind them.
"In fact, we can also open a second battlefield."
Cao Ang poured a glass of warm wine for Cao Cao and Chen Zhou. He held the wine glass with his fingers, slowly played with the wine in the glass, and continued to express his thoughts: "Zhang Yan of Heishan has always been at odds with Yuan Shao. Before He also joined forces with Gongsun Zan to attack Yuan Shao. After Gongsun Zan died, not long ago, we got news that Yuan Shao would also encircle and suppress Zhang Yan."
Hearing this, Cao Cao's eyes lit up.
I feel that my eldest son has finally grown up.
I learned real skills from Watanabe's side!
Chen Zhou smiled and said, "Young master, even I couldn't think of this. How wonderful!"
Cao Ang was praised and felt very happy and smiled happily.
Cao Cao said: "Thank you Duzhi for helping me teach Zixiu."
Chen Zhou waved his hand and said: "Young master can think of this and it has nothing to do with me. This is your ability."
Their plans and plans on how to defeat Yuan Shao were all finalized.
After discussion, they found that Yuan Shao seemed to be easier to deal with than Yuan Shu. As long as the location of Yuan Shao's grain storage was analyzed in the future, nothing would be a problem.
Cao Cao put aside all worries for the time being.
I even look forward to this battle starting early, and I can't help but want to compete with Yuan Shao to see who is more powerful.
"uncle."
At this time, Cao Peng walked in again and said: "There is a person knocking on the door, saying that he is a servant of Dong Guozhang's family."
Hearing this, Cao Cao stood up.
"The person Watuzhi said is really here."
The more they were surprised, the more they gradually got used to it.
Chen Zhou's ability to predict the future is no longer as surprising as it was at first.
Cao Cao said: "Bring him in."
After a while, Qin Qingtong appeared beside the stove.
"Cao Sikong, I have something very important to tell you."
Qin Qingtong knelt down in front of Cao Cao and said in a trembling voice: "Dong Cheng and others want to kill Cao Sikong..."
He told exactly what he knew.
Although he didn't know much, based on what he said, it could be judged that there was a problem with the jade belt, and Dong Cheng and the others had already begun to plan what to do.
"real?"
Cao Cao asked pretending to be surprised.
Qin Qingtong said quickly: "It's all true. I don't dare to lie to Cao Sikong."
Cao Cao narrowed his eyes and said, "Take him down."
After a while, Qin Qingtong was taken away by Cao Peng.
"Watazhi's words have come true."
Cao Cao asked again: "After the crossing, are we going to scare off the grass and scare the snake?"
"Of course!"
Chen Zhou said: "If you startle them, their plan will be carried out faster, and they will be more panicked. But I have another idea, Liu Bei should still be alive, right?"
Cao Cao nodded and said: "Alive."
Chen Zhou smiled and said: "Then hang him in front of the palace. We will lay an ambush and wait near the palace. They will definitely save Liu Bei. I want to see how they can save him."
"This is good."
Cao Cao laughed.
Chen Zhou became cruel and really liked him.
In fact, if Chen Zhou could be so cruel, he could only blame Liu Bei for assassinating him.
Hang Liu Bei in front of the palace, openly show it to Guan Yu and others, and clearly tell them that there is an ambush, to see if they still want to save him and if they have the courage to save him. If they dare not save, then hang Liu Bei to death.
