The Three Kingdoms Began with the Abduction of Luoshen - Chapter 206
The world has not yet settled.
Cao Cao has always aimed at this, and he naturally wants to achieve the achievement of dominating the world. As for whether to ascend the throne as emperor, this choice can be left to the future.
After all, Cao Cao does not need to consider other things now, or the overall situation of the world has not yet been determined. No one knows what will happen in the future, just like how he defeated Yuan Shao by defeating the strong.
I am afraid that no one thought or believed at the time that Cao Cao could defeat Yuan Shao at such a great disadvantage. And completely unified and rectified the northern part of Dahan, becoming the largest force in Dahan today.
Not to mention other people, even if it was Cao Cao’s advisers at that time, it was only those few people who really fought or believed in Cao Cao. And Guo Jia is one of the most steadfast advocates.
This is one of the reasons why Cao Cao trusts Guo Jia so much.
In fact, Cao Cao at that time did not have absolute confidence. After all, the gap between them and Yuan Shao was too great. If they hadn’t found an opportunity later, I’m afraid they would still be the result of failure.
After all, the gap between them at that time was not only in military strength, but also in logistics and forage, which also had a big problem.
If Cao Cao hadn’t attacked Wuchao at that time, I’m afraid it would be Cao Cao who had problems with the food. At that time, he had reached the point where he ran out of ammunition and food, but he finally found an opportunity.
Because of such a small mistake, Yuan Shao was unable to sustain his food supply and was completely defeated by Cao Cao’s troops. There was no more chance to fight back, or to rule the world, and then gradually weakened.
With the circumstances at the time, as long as Yuan Shao could seize the opportunity, he didn’t even need to take the initiative to attack, as long as he continued to delay, Cao Cao’s defeat was almost predictable.
So don’t look at Cao Cao’s power now, but no one knows what will happen in the future. Even Cao Cao himself can’t be sure, he only knows now that he can only go all out to do his own thing well.
Then, when the war comes in the future, there will be no surprises.
And this period of time is the process of Cao Cao’s accumulation of resources. He wants to sweep the south once and for all, completely end this troubled world, and achieve his ideal of unification.
Ever since Qin Shihuang ruled the world, the greatest ambition of my Chinese people with lofty ideals is to rule the world.
Even in the later Southern and Northern Dynasties, this has not changed.
It is not like Europe, willing to live in a corner, and in the end it is just countless tiny countries. It is difficult to form a strong force against the huge influence from the outside world.
At this moment, in the Yecheng government office.
Cao Cao found Guo Jia and Xun Yu, this was not a formal question, it was just a negotiation between them.
Cao Cao looked forward, sighed involuntarily, and said:
“The world is not at peace today. There is Ma Teng in Liangzhou in the west, Sun Quan in Yangzhou in the south, Liu Biao in Jingzhou, and Liu Zhang in Yizhou. There is still a long way to go, and I don’t know when it will come to an end.”
Hearing Cao Cao’s emotional words, Xun Yu quickly said with a smile:
“These people are not worth mentioning. Now that the Prime Minister has rectified the north, he has more than 200,000 soldiers and horses. Such strength has long been unmatched in the world, but the most important thing is not these.
In fact, the prime minister has already obtained crops such as potatoes and sweet potatoes, and now they have had a bumper harvest. As long as the new crops are harvested, they will be able to accumulate enough grain and grass to settle the world. “
Xun Yu had great confidence in Cao Cao.
In other words, he is very confident in Cao Cao’s current power. According to the current situation, it will only be a matter of time to conquer the whole world. By then, the big Han will surely recover again.
For Xun Yu, he hoped that Cao Cao would win the final victory, of course he did not want him to become emperor. Instead, he hoped that Cao Cao would become a wage earner and hand over the complete and unified Han to the Han emperor.
In fact, Cao Cao has no objection to choose Xun Yu to be a powerful minister for life. After all, this is what Cao Cao deserves. And Cao Cao is indeed a capable person, even a powerful minister can do many things.
But Xun Yu also had his bottom line, that is, Cao Cao could not cross that limit, that is, Cao Cao could only be a courtier. If Cao Cao really wanted that position, I’m afraid the two would turn against each other.
Xun Yu had already considered some things, but it has not happened yet, or Xun Yu felt that Cao Cao still had hope. At this time, he will do everything in his power to help.
On the contrary, at this moment, Guo Jia looked a little strange.
He is different from Xun Yu. After all, he has been in contact with Qingyun Village before, or in-depth contact with Qingyun Village. Something has left an indelible impression on him.
In this case, there is no way for him to be the same as before.
But since Cao Cao said these words, he naturally wanted to discuss with Xun Yu and Guo Jia.
Guo Jia pondered for a moment, but still agreed:
“Although there are still various forces entrenched in the world today, but for the Prime Minister, it is not worth mentioning at all. Perhaps the ones who need to be vigilant are Sun Quan and Liu Bei.
As for Liu Biao and Liu Zhang, these two are fish on the chopping board. As long as the prime minister is ready, the army will be able to easily sweep it away, so there is no need to worry too much. “
Seeing that the two big cronies agreed so much, Cao Cao nodded in satisfaction.
Although he had his own thoughts on this matter, it felt different to be recognized by others. Obviously, he felt a lot more at ease at this moment. As for Liu Biao and the others, Cao Cao really did not take it seriously.
As for Liu Bei and Sun Quan, Cao Cao only paid attention.
If Cao Cao had paid more attention before, but now Cao Cao is very different from before.
After experiencing Qingyun Village, or having more contact with Chen Jue, Cao Cao has already had some changes before.
Cao Cao is not a static person, if so, he should be a staunch royalist.
But in fact, some things have changed since Cao Cao took the emperor to make the princes. To be precise, some thoughts in Cao Cao’s heart are no longer as pure as they started.
In particular, the benefits that Qingyun Village brought to Cao Cao cannot be described in words. It’s a pity that Qingyun Village is a little weird. Cao Cao can’t do it directly, otherwise he would have already started with Qingyun Village.
After all, although he has already obtained some benefits, in contrast, there are many good things in Qingyun Village. Wouldn’t it be nice to have all these good things in your pocket?
But only think about it.
After all, Qingyunzhai is very powerful, but Cao Cao witnessed it with his own eyes, and there are still people to test it…
Before there is no absolute certainty, Cao Cao can only stay in Qingyun Village, and find opportunities later.
As soon as his thoughts changed, Cao Cao was talking about Qingyun Village and said doubtfully:
“Since Chen Jue took people to leave Qingyun Village during the New Year’s holiday, there is still no news. What did he do, and where do you two think he is now?”
Although Cao Cao coveted Qingyun Village, he also knew that Chen Jue was the core of Qingyun Village. There is only Chen Jue to have Qingyun Village. If there is no Chen Jue, Qingyun Village may not be Qingyun Village.
Cao Cao can almost guarantee that he has never seen such a strange person as Chen Jue. It can be said that a character like Chen Jue is unique in the whole world. Anyway, Cao Cao thinks so.
So during this period of time, Chen Jue disappeared completely, and he didn’t even hear a little news. He really felt very curious. I also want to know where Chen Jue went and what to do?
I heard Cao Cao’s question.
Xun Yu and Guo Jia were both stunned. In fact, it wasn’t just Cao Cao, they also thought about this issue.
Too bad they didn’t get an answer.
With today’s north basically being unified by Cao Cao, his power is not as limited as before. In the face of absolute strength, the influence of the so-called family is not so great.
Even if it was the largest family in the world, without the help of soldiers and horses, they could only listen to Cao Cao’s arrangement honestly, otherwise it would be a dead end for them.
After all, it is not a peaceful and prosperous age, even Liu Xie was imprisoned by Cao Cao, let alone these so-called noble families.
The family does have a certain influence, but in fact their influence cannot be completely independent. This all requires a certain amount of strength to rely on, and now they have lost their trust.
The previous Yuan Shao was the agent of the aristocratic family, and everyone had high hopes, but unfortunately Yuan Shao did not win.
In the event that the option fails, they have no second chance.
After Chen Jue left Qingyun Village, Cao Cao had actually sent people to investigate. I don’t know about other places, but there is no news of Chen Jue in the north, and it seems that he has disappeared from the world.
In fact, Cao Cao was very puzzled.
From the information he got, Chen Jue and the others were indeed traveling all the way east by boat. But they went straight out of the Yellow River, and then completely disappeared, and no one knew where they went.
Cao Cao said to himself:
“This Chen Jue said that he was going to do business outside, but these may not be true.”
Although Cao Cao had no way to completely penetrate the Jingyang two states, it did not mean that he could not detect the news of the two states completely. Unfortunately, he also did not get any news about Chen Jue.
Could such a big living person still disappear out of thin air?
Anyway, Cao Cao didn’t believe it.
But after thinking about it, Cao Cao had a bold idea.
Xun Yu and Guo Jia also blinked slightly, obviously they and Cao Cao thought of going together, this is not a strange thing.
We are all smart people, think about the problem and think about it, this is a normal and traceable thing.
Xun Yu thought about it, nodded and said:
“This Zhaizhu Chen is indeed not an ordinary person, and his actions are extraordinary. This time he made an excuse to go overseas. Is it because there are rumors that there is an overseas immortal island where immortals are located?”
This is Xun Yu’s idea.
Guo Jia soon added:
“Yes, if this is the case, a lot of things can be explained. If Chen Zhaizhu is an immortal from an overseas immortal island, he can understand the extraordinary means, and all kinds of miracles are normal.”
For ordinary people, or the ancients, Chen Jue’s actions really surprised them. If you have to find a reasonable explanation, this may be a good route.
Chen Jue may be a fairy.
And it is an immortal from an overseas immortal island.
This time, it is not the disappearance of the world, but just take this opportunity to go back to the immortal island, but I don’t know what to do.
But the problem is that everything Chen Jue has done before can be explained.
Cao Cao showed a look of sudden realization and said with a smile:
“This Chen Jue really hid deep enough. Previously, Zuo Ci broke into Qingyun Village without authorization, and finally ended up with a life and death. Plus the strange things outside the village gate…”
However, Cao Cao quickly sighed and said helplessly:
“I don’t know when Chen Zhaizhu will return this time, and now I don’t dare to rush to Qingyunzhai…”
Obviously, Cao Cao still misses Qingyun Village.
Xun Yu shook his head solemnly and said:
“Prime Minister, not to mention whether the owner of Chen Zhai is really an immortal from the overseas immortal island, the situation is not yet clear, but you can’t take action against Qingyun Village. If Chen Jue returns one day, wouldn’t it be troublesome?”
Xun Yu’s worries were not unreasonable. He also had a lot of contact with Chen Jue, so he knew that Chen Jue was indeed extraordinary.
Even without the identity of the immortals of the overseas immortal island, Chen Jue still cannot be easily provoked. After all, today’s Qingyun Village is indeed hiding too many things, which are extremely curious and longing.
Even if Cao Cao spent a certain price at this moment, he really took Qingyun Village and gained considerable benefits.
But as long as Chen Jue knows the situation here, as long as he chooses a side, and uses what he has to help him, as long as he has a little brain, he will become a big trouble for Cao Cao.
And now in the general situation of the world, Cao Cao is already the most powerful prince, and everyone knows who the biggest enemy is.
Let’s not talk about the follow-up for the time being, it is very troublesome for Cao Cao anyway.
Hearing this, Cao Cao couldn’t help laughing bitterly. Although he had such an idea, he would definitely not do it, because what Xun Yu just said, he had not thought about it before.
Guo Jia took it seriously and said sternly:
“What Lingjun said is very true. This Chen Zhaizhu or Qingyunzhai is not as simple as we think. Although Chen Zhaizhu is missing now, I believe that they will return in a short time.”
Chen Jue left with Xiaoweiying and what preparations were made, Guo Jia naturally did not know the details.
It’s just that Guo Jia is not stupid. He has a certain understanding of the inside story of Qingyun Village, and he also has some guesses in his heart.
Although I can’t tell Cao Cao directly, a simple reminder is not a problem, but whether Cao Cao cares or not is not something Guo Jia can interfere. After all, he was just guessing.
But at this point, Cao Cao did not doubt, he nodded and said:
“Chen Jue has put a lot of effort into Qingyun Village, so naturally it is impossible to give up Qingyun Village easily, just as Feng Xiao said, Gu also feels that Chen Jue will definitely come back again.
I only hope that this time will not be too long, otherwise the lonely will have to go south and attack the Jingyang two states. “
Xun Yu and Guo Jiabo were not surprised.
This is not a big problem for them.
After all, Cao Cao’s ambitions, their core advisers, are the most clear, and they are also planning for this goal.
As for the deep meaning of Cao Cao’s remarks, he naturally wanted to meet Chen Jue before he set off on an expedition.
Chen Jue stabilized his power by giving Cao Cao some benefits.
And Cao Cao also wanted to pick wool from Chen Jue.
This thing is inherently relative.
