HLnovel Chapter 246
Chapter 246
Cao Cao could even roughly guess why Su Xuan allowed him and Yuan Shao and other princes to compete for hegemony in the Central Plains and northern states, but temporarily stayed in Jingzhou to focus on development instead of external expansion.
Is it really just because his New Deal officials don’t have enough? not necessarily!
No one has stipulated that once a site is won, one must rush to complete the reform quickly, right?
It’s absolutely okay to do it step by step, and it’s okay to take your time!
At most, some hidden dangers will be left temporarily, but these can all be cleared one by one in the future.
But Su Xuan did not send troops, firstly because Su Xuan had absolute confidence in his own strength.
He felt that even if Cao Cao, Yuan Shao and other princes continued to expand in power, they would not be Su Xuan’s opponents in the future.
Secondly, it was because Su Xuan did not want to cause too many casualties to the people.
“”473” He wanted to reduce the number of wars, and after the princes like them expanded with all their strength, they would be able to complete their success in one battle.
“Yuan Chang, please find a way to contact Chen Deng first, try to instigate him, and then let him be our internal agent!”
“As for the water attack, we can make preliminary preparations for the time being. If possible, we should try not to use this strategy. It is indeed too detrimental to Tianhe and the gain outweighs the loss!”
“What I want is a complete Xiapi City, not a ruin!”
“Otherwise, it would be better to let Liu Bei and others occupy Xuzhou!”
Cao Cao immediately told Zhong Yao:
“Here!”
Although Zhong Yao was very surprised and felt that this was not something Cao Cao would say, he still agreed. The strategy had been given, and it was not up to him to influence Cao Cao’s choice.
Cao Cao was not that kind of person. He is so easy to fool and manipulate.
At this time, all the conversations here were clearly heard by Jia Shisan using the beast control.
His face suddenly changed slightly:”I really almost forgot this!”
“If they were really allowed to use water attacks against Xiapi City, hundreds of thousands of people would suffer!”
“This is absolutely not okay!”
With that said, Jia Shisan called Chen Deng, and then told Chen Deng the contents of Zhong Yao’s two strategies.
Then he said:”Yuanlong! It seems that our previous arrangements were not perfect enough! Adjustments may be needed!”
“No matter what, Cao Cao cannot be allowed to choose the water attack method in the end!”
“Otherwise, we won’t be able to explain it to the Lord!”
“In addition, I will pass this news to the lord later. I believe the lord will not agree to give Cao Cao the opportunity to use water attack!”
“Therefore, you may be forced to secretly surrender to Cao Cao, and then serve as an internal agent to help Cao Cao break the city. What do you think?”
It will undoubtedly damage Chen Deng’s reputation and bear the infamy of his master.
“That’s nothing! After hearing this
, Chen Deng shook his head and said,”I actually expected it, so I never recognized Liu Bei as the master from the beginning to the end!””
“I have always addressed myself as the King of Qi, just to prevent this situation from happening now!”
“Therefore, there is no need to worry about me, it is not a problem to secretly surrender to Cao Cao first!”
“In fact, I knew this would happen when I knew that my lord was not going to take Xuzhou for the time being!”
“After that, I even have to turn my back on Cao Cao. Therefore, I am not ready to completely surrender to Cao Cao in the future. I can still maintain a simple superior-subordinate relationship!”
“Anyway, outsiders have always felt that our family puts family interests first in everything;”
“If something is completely contrary to the interests of the family, we will stop the loss in time and make corresponding changes;”
“Now you can take advantage of this!”
“Of course, this will make Cao Cao less trustful of me, Chen, and he will not be able to give me important responsibilities, but this is also what I want!”
“If you can continue to stay in Xuzhou in the future, just stay in office!”
“I’m still waiting for the day when the lord sends troops to Xuzhou, so that I can help the lord take over Xuzhou easily!”
“Therefore, there is no need to feel aggrieved!”
“But, if you do this, you may not be able to take it off for too long!”
“This is contrary to the lord’s previous mission. Brother Thirteen, you still need to explain it to the lord.”(To read Baoshuang novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)
You can’t have your cake and eat it too!
“Um!”
Jia Shisan nodded affirmatively:”I understand! Without further ado, I will write a letter to the lord right now!”
“Yuanlong, please wait for Cao Cao to send someone to contact you at any time!”
“I estimate that the lord’s reply should be conveyed before that………..”
“good!”
Chen Deng immediately agreed, turned and left.
He couldn’t leave for too long, and there were many places that needed him in the city at this time.
More than an hour later,
Su Xuan received a letter from Jia Shisan at Prince Qian’s Mansion in Xiangyang.
“Ah! This Zhong Yao is really a ruthless person!”
After Su Xuan read it, he immediately sneered.
He didn’t expect that without Guo Jia, someone on Cao Cao’s side would still come up with this vicious plan.
“Um? Zhong Yao Zhong Yuanchang? Lord, what happened to him?”
Xun You and others on the side couldn’t help but asked curiously after hearing this.[]
“Here…This is the latest information from the secret guards in Xuzhou. You will understand after you take a look!”
Su Xuan did not explain directly, but handed the information in his hand to Xun You and others for circulation.
“So that’s it! It is indeed a ruthless strategy! Xun
You and others frowned after reading this, and Xi Zhi couldn’t help but sneered and said,”However, this is in line with Zhong Yao’s character!””
“He is not a person who cares about the life and death of the people;”
“As long as he can make enough contributions and bring enough benefits to the family, he can do whatever it takes!”
“Fortunately, there are secret guards monitoring him at all times. Otherwise, if Chen Deng and the others had followed the previous plan, Cao Cao would have had no choice but to choose this ruthless strategy 2.9!”
“really! Xun
You also nodded, then stroked his beard and thought:”However, Cao Cao obviously hesitated and was more inclined to the former. It seems that he has received the image of his lord!””
“Lord, what do you think?”
Xun You said and looked at Su Xuan.
He still understood Cao Cao’s character and behavior very well.
If it weren’t for Su Xuan, Cao Cao would never have cared about the lives and deaths of the people at this time.
For a tycoon like Cao Cao, Those who want to achieve great things should do whatever it takes.
In the process, he doesn’t care at all how many people are killed or injured.
But after he dominates the world and achieves hegemony, he can compensate the people and be good to the people! ps: Please order first, customize , please support!.
