in turn

Staged a ** counterattack, snatching the fields that were once occupied, and taking away the wives that were once occupied - considering Brother Meng De's well-known unique hobby, it is not a big deal to say that this comes from genetic upbringing or something.

What a big problem.

As a result, Cao Bao and his brother Cao Hong had to go to Xuzhou. Unfortunately, as outsiders, it is not easy to take root in a foreign land, especially when they fell from being rich to being frustrated.

, one can imagine the sadness in his heart.

Unexpectedly, the path of heaven is boundless. As Tao Qian took control of Xuzhou, faced with the pressure of local forces, he naturally had to find ways to fight against it. As a result, the Cao brothers, who both had local backgrounds and were somewhat alienated from local forces, became

Tao Qian's confidants, each

As Tao Qian's right-hand man, he did some dirty things that Tao Qian didn't want to do, while his younger brother led the troops to guard one side. Therefore, these two brothers were able to have good relations with Xu Dan from Danyang. Presumably, they should be considered strangers in a foreign land.

Connected with the same fate."

Moreover, because one of the two is regarded as the commander of Tao Qian's army, and the other is the confidant who serves as the commander of Tao Qian's personal army Danyang soldiers, and also serves as the commander of Tancheng's city defense, they are extremely powerful.

As for their opponents, the Mi family and the Chen family, as local snakes and local rich men, are naturally quite powerful, but they are far behind in terms of military power. Even if they are very close to Liu Bei and Zang Ba in the north, after all, they are in the East China Sea. The county is at a bit of a disadvantage.

In other words, through Liu Bei, Cao Cao has basically won the support of some powerful figures in Xuzhou and most of the local forces, so he can't wait to use this rare excuse to take advantage of the situation before the two brothers Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu react. Make everything a fait accompli.

Well, although that is said, Cao Cao's main opponent is actually Yuan Shu. After all, it is impossible for Yuan Shao to throw most of his troops in the direction of Qingxu before completely killing Gongsun Zan. Gou Jian's example is worth remembering by everyone in the world.

So what does this analysis have to do with Li Shushi’s “disdain”?

This is a big deal.

Cao Cao's current strength is indeed a little stretched. After all, it is impossible for him to hand over the task of capturing Xuzhou to Liu Bei and Zang Ba. That would mean that during the post-war division of forces, these two people were already in Xuzhou's political territory. The important guy will get the biggest share of the cake. It can even be said that Cao Cao's busy work will make a wedding dress for these two people.

How could Cao Cao endure this?

What if it were replaced by the Bingzhou Army?

Just like what Li Shushi said, it is impossible for Li Shushi to cross Yanzhou and Yuzhou to manage the land in Xuzhou. It is just like the Qin State sent troops across Korea and Wei to attack the Gangshou area of ​​​​Qi State, and the land obtained could only be fertile. However, it did not help Qin's national power at all, and it also consumed the national power for no reason by sending troops to fight.

Of course, Cao Cao also promised that the Bingzhou Army could make some extra money in Xuzhou, but Cao Cao's army would never care.

However, even if the death of Cao Song also happened, the internal situation in Xuzhou at this time was completely different from the internal situation in Xuzhou that Cao Cao had to face in the history of another dimension.

Tao Qian was not dead at that time. Although there were constant disputes within Xuzhou, Tao Qian was generally under his control. Therefore, although Cao Cao had the taste of killing people to vent his anger, he also hoped to use this method to shock the local aristocratic families in Xuzhou. The powerful force made them feel the terror of Cao Cao's army and thus shaken their determination to resist.

But what about now?

The local forces in Xuzhou, headed by the Mi family and the Chen family, have shown enough goodwill. Can Cao Cao really allow the Bingzhou army to act recklessly in Xuzhou and leave a bad impression on the Xuzhou people about Cao Cao's army? Or even if Cao Cao intends to weaken Xuzhou The powerful strength of the family is used to facilitate his control of Xuzhou in the future, so can the Bingzhou Army who was used as a sword by Cao Cao really have a good ending?

It is estimated that when I think of this, the picture of the Bingzhou Army killing people and Cao Cao appearing in the land where the Bingzhou Army has ravaged with a smile on his face, showing his hospitality and determination, and even sending people to disguise themselves as volunteers and Xuzhou to jointly resist the barbaric army from Bingzhou, has already appeared in my mind. The outline in my mind is clear and definite.

Even thinking more deeply, even if Cao Cao allowed the Bingzhou Army to do what they did in Xuzhou and let them return with a full load, would it really be a profit for the Bingzhou Army? Maybe what comes back with the Bingzhou Army will not only be money, but also return the goods. There will be various information and rumors that describe what the Bingzhou Army did when they were in Xuzhou, either with added embellishments, straightforward narratives, or made up of nothing.

Cao Cao may not be Yuan Shao, and he would not be stupid enough to actively oppose Li Shushi, but he should dig a hole for Li Shushi and wait for Li Shushi to make a mistake, because the growth rate of the Bingzhou Army is enough to make him feel a real threat, and he will definitely gain the emperor's "

"Favor" has made the ambition hidden in Cao Cao's heart begin to burst out.

And given the close connection between Yuan Shao and Cao Cao, good friends, such cooperation should not be too simple.

However, Li Shushi also believes that the hole Cao Cao dug for himself will not be too deep for the time being, because there is Yuan Shao in the north, who has greater potential than Li Shushi, and whose foundation is deeper and wider than Li Shushi. Cao Cao should know very well that with him

What would happen if the current body bones were exposed to Yuan Shao?

After all, Cao Cao is not a time traveler. He cannot see the future more than ten years from now. No, he cannot see even three minutes from now.

But there are some things that may not be visible once or twice, but if they are repeated too many times, or the seeds of certain emotions are planted in the heart, there will always be a time when they grow into irreversible towering trees.

Speaking of which, Li Shushi had just plowed the two prefectures of Yongliang, which made the local powerful families feel the power of the Bingzhou Army. But everything has a degree. If it exceeds this degree, then those who were originally afraid of it will

Among those people there will be people who will fight to the death out of fear, and it may even trigger a further chain reaction.

Back then in Hedong, Li Shushi could calmly deal with the dual pressure from the Baibo Army and the rebels. That was because the main target of the coalition was Dong Zhuo, and the purpose of disrupting Hedong was more to contain the energy of Bingzhou. But now, the Bingzhou Army has risen to the top of the world.

The princes all want to get rid of the power quickly. There are some things that can be done, but how to do it must be done with caution.

Li Shushi did not think this was a smart move at the expense of strategic interests for the sake of mere financial gains that were destined to be modest.
