Three Kingdoms

Chapter 179 Inference

Fei Qiansuo was right. The current situation was already a mess. Would it make much of a difference if it was even more messy?

The more Cao Cao thought about it, the more frightened he became. His eyebrows knitted together tightly and his eyes kept rolling.

At this moment, Cao Cao's mind was no longer on Cai Yong. He was just analyzing the series of reactions that would occur if Yuan Wei was killed by Dong Zhuo...

"Zi Yuan, what do you mean... In fact, this was deliberately arranged by Dong Zhongying? No, it's unlikely. I have met Dong Zhongying, and he should not have such a strategy..."

"...He doesn't have it, but Li Wenyou may not have it..." Fei Qian replied.

"Li, Wen, You..." Cao Cao said each word, thinking of the middle-aged scribe who seemed to have been hiding in the shadows behind Dong Zhuo, and seemed to feel his sharp eyes hidden in the darkness, The hairs on my hair seemed to stand on end...

This is simply an extremely vicious strategy. It is simple and effective, but it speaks directly to people's hearts.

Cao Cao thought that Dong Zhuo's killing of Yuan Wei was nothing more than directly using violence to remove the current head of the Yuan family. The purpose was to split the originally powerful Yuan family into two, so that Yuan Shu and Yuan Shao would fall into a fight with each other and snatch the head of the Yuan family. position to reduce the pressure faced by Dong Zhuo's army and disrupt the unified command of the Kwantung Allied Forces.

Because of the Kwantung Allied Forces, it turned out that Yuan Wei was commanding it remotely. Cao Cao could guess this without looking at the recent personnel transfers. This was why he dared to directly bring the recruited recruits to the battlefield of Jujube without any training. s reason.

Although Cao Cao didn't like Yuan Wei very much, he did admire Yuan Wei's actions this time - Yuan Wei was in Luoyang to provide support, and the Kwantung Allied Forces were externally and internally and externally suffering. There was no need to fight at all, as long as the troops were ready. Under Luoyang City, Luoyang City will undoubtedly be in chaos, and Dong Zhuo will naturally face a dead end.

But after hearing what Fei Qian said, Cao Cao suddenly realized that he was too idealistic. He never expected that Dong Zhuo would dare to attack Yuan Wei directly. As a result, the situation immediately became complicated...

In fact, it stands to reason that as long as brothers Yuan Shu and Yuan Shao work together, let alone killing a single Yuan Wei, even if they kill everyone related to the Yuan family in Luoyang, it will not be of much use. But the key to the problem now is-Yuan Shaohe Will the two brothers Yuan Shu work together?

Cao Cao thought about it again and again. Based on his understanding of the two brothers Yuan Shu and Yuan Shao, this matter is really not much easier than the sun rising in the west...

"I hope I'm just worrying too much..." Fei Qian sighed.

What he and Cao Cao were talking about was naturally the current situation of challenging Dong. On the surface, it seems that the Guandong nobles have taken complete initiative, and Dong Zhuofang's regime seems to be crumbling, but these are just appearances, and this is just a method of Li Ru...

This inference was based on the history he knew from later generations and the information he had at hand. It took him some time to come up with it.

At this time, the sun has set, the stars are dotted, and the whimpering wind sounds in the wilderness.

It seemed that the night wind had become a little colder. Cao Cao crossed his arms in his arms, exhaled a long breath, and said: "But there is still a big flaw in Li Wenyou's behavior. We still have The odds of winning..."

"...The flaw is actually not a flaw at all, it's just a bait..." Fei Qian looked at the outline of the distant mountains in the west faintly in the night, thought for a while, and said it. This is probably what Li Ru will do next. It's only a matter of time before you take action.

"Lure...bait?" Cao Cao suddenly reached out and grabbed Fei Qian, staring at his eyes and said, "...move the capital! Ziyuan, do you mean the traitor Dong will move the capital?"

"No! This is impossible! The Han Dynasty... The Han Dynasty has established its capital in Luoyang for nearly two hundred years... moved the capital..." Cao Cao grabbed Fei Qian's arm with both hands, his face turned pale.

Cao Cao was extremely talented in military affairs and immediately realized that if Dong Zhuo and Li Ru moved the capital, Dong Zhuo's original weakness in the Heluo area would disappear...

The first aspect is that Dong Zhuo returned to his old territory. Not only was it easier to supply the army, but he also got rid of the unfamiliarity of being in Luoyang;

In the second aspect, in this way, there is no risk of being taken out of the way and having to be trapped in Luoyang alone, eliminating the biggest flaw that Cao Cao just mentioned;

The third aspect is that giving up the enclave of Luoyang also caused the Kwantung Allied Forces to lose the direction and target of their attack. If the Kwantung Allied Forces dared to pursue deep into the narrow area between the Qinling Mountains and the Yellow River...

Not to mention that the front line is lengthening and supplies are becoming more and more difficult. If there is no effective coordination among them, plus each has their own selfish motives, it is estimated that the scene in which Qin destroyed the six countries will be repeated...

Fei Qian said quietly: "...Besides, there are still places where the Yellow Turbans have not been completely eradicated..." I have to say that the time chosen by Li Ru is really good...

The head of the Yuan family, Yuan Wei, planned secretly and even sent his own agents from the Taifu's house to contact everyone. His original intention was to achieve a quick victory. Otherwise, how could there be so many local officials just relying on Qiao Mao's so-called pseudo-sangong's transfer of books? response?

Thinking about it, I know that those who can serve as county guards are not simple-minded people. How can they casually raise an army based on a letter? It must be confirmed again and again. Only when it is clear that it represents the Yuan family's intentions will it raise the flag and respond.

Therefore, the Kwantung Allied Forces can be so powerful this time, blooming almost everywhere from south to north.

Yuan Wei probably wanted to use this to show his power and make Dong Zhuo understand that it was useless to be arrogant in a city like Luoyang. In fact, the Yuan family were the ones who really spoke and worked in this world.

It's a pity that Yuan Wei is not facing Dong Zhuo, a warrior, but the sinister Li Ru.

In Fei Qian's view, Li Ru's strategy of moving the capital was simply a combination of defeat and defeat, and the effect was extremely good. Not only did Yuan Wei's plan fail, but it also dragged the Kwantung Allied Forces into the Luoyang area, and the governors from various places brought Most of the soldiers are the original county soldiers. The longer this drags on, let alone the supply problem, the remaining Yellow Turbans in various places were almost wiped out, but now the suppressive soldiers are suddenly transferred away, and slowly they are restored. Resurrection...

On the one hand, Dong Zhuo returned to his hometown and obtained sufficient supplies. On the other hand, the Kwantung Allied Forces' front line was stretched, and the Yellow Turbans started causing trouble again in the backyard...

After cutting off Yuan Wei's head, the Kwantung Allied Forces were leaderless. Dong Zhuo only had to sit on Tongguan and slowly wait for the civil strife among the Kwantung gentry, then divide them into groups and defeat them one by one...

Cao Cao also thought of this, and suddenly found that a demonstration that he thought was a meritorious demonstration would actually evolve into a real protracted war, and from a state of being sure, it turned into a situation of losing more and winning less. This huge situation The gap is really unacceptable...
