: Not sticking to trivial matters

"What do you think, Su Dao?" Cao Cao followed suit and listened attentively to Li Kui's reasons.

"Report to Mr. Ming." Li Kui put away his smile and said solemnly, "Kui's guess is not groundless. Does Mr. Ming know about Qingzhou Yellow Turban?"

"The Yellow Turbans of Qingzhou attacked Mount Tai some time ago and were defeated by the prefect Ying Shao."

Cao Cao murmured to himself, his eyes blank, as if he was thinking about something.

"Yes, the Qingzhou Yellow Turbans were defeated, but what about the Xuzhou Yellow Turbans?"

Zhong Ping was a little confused when he heard this. What does this have to do with Qingzhou and Xuzhou? Or he has done too little classical Chinese. Now it really involves his knowledge blind spot, and his eyesight goes dark.

Xun Yu and Xi Zhicai looked at each other and saw a serious look in each other's eyes.

"When Kui was in Heishan, he saw many thieves and many people had mixed opinions, so it was not difficult to get information. Sometimes he met people with strange accents and asked around, and he often got 'this brother from Qingzhou' or 'this friend from Xuzhou'

This kind of reply is especially true when worshiping the Yellow Taiyi."

"It seems from this that Qingzhou Xuzhou and the Black Mountain Yellow Turban have never severed their connection secretly." Li Kui raised his head, "And the person taking the lead should be this 'good teacher'!"

Cao Cao slowly let out a breath and frowned tightly.

According to what he had previously thought, Zhang Niujiao was nothing to worry about. Zhang Jiao's direct descendants and his more than 100,000 men alone would not be able to suppress the millions of Yellow Turbans in the world and recreate Zhang Jiao's scene...

But if it is true as Li Kui said, then this person's layout for a long time is terrifying.

Unless Zhang Jiao died not long ago, this person took advantage of the Yellow Turban cohesion before it was gone, and placed his own people in the ranks of various commanders, and now he can respond to a hundred calls...

However, this is obviously impossible to do. Where does Zhang Niujiao, a yellow turban ant thief, get the manpower and material resources?

Cao Cao was puzzled.

Tanehira fell into deep thought again.

It seems that when Zhang Jiao died in 184, Zhang Xi should have served as a guard at that time...

Speaking of which, Zhang Xi is a descendant of King Zhao Jing? What my father told me cannot be false.

Hiss... Good guy, doesn't Zhang Xi want to imitate Wang Mang?

No wonder he put so much effort into disrupting Chang'an. Although I don't know how he controlled Zhang Ji, if my guess is correct, in Chang'an now Zhang Ji should be playing the bad guy and Zhang Xi should be the red face.

Gaining Liu Xie's full trust in Chang'an, Zhang Niujiao was secretly asked to launch another "Yellow Turban Uprising" on his behalf, draining the power of the world's princes for him... When both sides were hurt, he could use Liu Xie's orders to wipe out the world.

At that time, all the fame and military power will be restored to one person... No matter whether he continues to ignore Liu Xie or changes the dynasty, no one can stop him.

This guy doesn’t really think so, does he?

Zhongpei wanted to laugh a little.

This plan does seem perfect and smooth at first glance, but...

Will Zhang Niujiao really work hard for Zhang Xi?

Anyway, I don’t believe it.

While Zhang Xi is using Zhang Niujiao, isn't Zhang Niujiao using Zhang Xi?

However, this conjecture still reminded Zhong Ping of the terrible conjecture he had when he doubted Li Kui's identity.

Zhang Xi can support Zhang Niujiao in the Yellow Turban, but what about Zhang Jiao?

A leader of the peasant uprising movement was not only proficient in Taoism and could read Taoist classics, he could even create his own sect, integrate the early popular "Huang-Lao" ideas, and turn this idea into his own doctrine.

When the Yellow Turban Army was formed, it was even more orderly and able to organize believers across the country according to regions, and established a military-political organization called "Fang", with a total of thirty-six parties. The leaders of each party were called "Qushuai."

And it's just the three brothers who are leading all this.

Isn't this strange?

Even during the Taiping Rebellion, the leader, Hong Xiuquan, was still a scholar.

Where is Zhang Jiao?

When the gentry monopolized most of the classics, paper was not yet widely circulated, and knowledge could not be spread widely.

Unless this person really received a message from heaven, or in other words, really met a god, it makes no sense at all.

Tanehira silently patted his head.

Forget it, what am I thinking about? How many years has it been since Zhang Jiao died? Now let’s think about how to help Boss Cao resist Sui Gu. I still have to rely on Boss Cao to save my father and the others... But why do I

It seems that he is either walking on the road to defend the city or on the road of defense?

Is this another buff that I don’t know about?

"If this is the case, then the situation in Yanzhou is really not optimistic."

Cao Cao withdrew his gaze and was already thinking about ways to break the situation.

He is as peaceful and quiet as a chicken, watching his eyes and nose and watching his heart.

I really don't have any good plans now, don't look at me.

"My lord, I believe that the most urgent task is to harvest food first. Water conservancy issues can be put aside for now. Maybe the floods can also be a help to us."

Xi Zhicai took a sip of wine first and then made a suggestion.

Thongpei subconsciously tried to persuade him.

If we really follow what Xi Zhicai said and take advantage of floods, I am afraid that not only will the fields be destroyed, but the houses of the people will also be difficult to save.

What's more, the harm caused by such uncontrollable things is huge. It doesn't distinguish between ourselves and the enemy, and it will most likely affect innocent people.

"What Zhicai said makes sense." Cao Cao nodded, "In extraordinary times, you should do extraordinary things. If floods can be used, it is the time to obey the will of heaven. Why not obey the orders of heaven?"

Tanehira's slightly opened mouth closed again.

This is Boss Cao, he is indeed the "hero"...

Those who achieve great things do not stick to trivial matters, but are these really trivial matters?

"Does Bo Heng have any good advice to teach me?" Cao Cao seemed to be aware of Zhong Ping's expression and couldn't bear it, and slowly walked to his side.

"Uncle..." Zhong Ping felt a little ashamed, "Ping is stupid and doesn't have a good plan."

"Nothing." Cao Cao patted Zhong Ping's shoulder gently, "Bo Heng, your temper is too soft. It's good to be a gentleman, but you have to know that there is no room for such women on the battlefield.

Kind."

"If we can preserve our own strength, we can use it no matter how cruel the method is."

Zhong Ping was very touched that Cao Cao was willing to confide in him.

However, he still couldn't help but think of Cao Cao's massacres in history.

Those who surrounded and surrendered were not pardoned to demonstrate to the world.

The massacre was used as a deterrent, telling the opponent that the consequences of not surrendering would be a river of blood.

By attacking the city in this way, more people will surrender without fighting because they are afraid of slaughtering the city and surrendering, which will naturally save more of our own troops.

Xi Zhicai proposed to use the floods, and Cao Cao accepted it without any hesitation, seemingly without even considering whether there were other options.

Zhongping even felt that even if he could come up with a defensive strategy, Cao Cao would still choose floods...

After all, other than this method, no matter what strategy is adopted, most of the troops will inevitably be consumed.

Moreover, the method of grabbing crops proposed by Zhongping can completely solve the food problem this season, and the army will not be troubled by food shortages.

It seems that taking advantage of floods is indeed the best way.

"Uncle, can you let Ping think about it again? Is there any other way to break the situation?"

Zhongping sighed, "If it's impossible, it's not too late to use Mr. Xi's trick."

Cao Cao smiled and then said: "There is nothing wrong with me."
