Chapter 3496 Ice and Fire(1/3)
Chapter 3495 Ice and Fire
Everyone hopes that they are smart and that their subordinates are smart, but most of the time, things go against their wishes.
Even smart people have the difference between great wisdom and little cleverness.
Is Lao Cao smart?
The answer is yes, but he also made mistakes.
The only way is to reflect on it all the time.
Lao Cao was also reflecting.
In order to gain as much time and space as possible, Cao Cao has been planning almost day and night in the past two days.
Cao Hong insisted on staying, and together with Liu Fu, waiting for Cao Cao's final decision.
Cao Cao looks calm on the outside, but in fact he will be nervous.
The reason why he stayed here was that he knew very well that his current situation was very dangerous.
There are enemies outside and thieves inside.
The situation inside Shandong has changed, and a wired report has been delivered to Cao Cao.
This was not what he wanted to see, but it was not beyond Cao Cao's expectations.
These people from Shandong were not optimistic about Cao Cao, but thought that the Er Yuan was their real spokesperson.
From a certain perspective, this is indeed the case.
The second Yuan are the top existences of the gentry, and are the template for the development of rural tyrants and local surnames to the highest stage, so they are called models of the world by the children of the gentry.
Under such circumstances, Er Yuan's ambition to go further was exposed.
One was in the south and the other was in the north. The Shandong gentry suddenly broke open, and Cao Cao "picked a bargain" from the middle.
This is the view of many Shandong gentry children. Even though Cao Cao later integrated into the Central Plains of Shandong, this problem has not been improved. The gentry children still believe that the gentry is the most powerful, powerful and perfect political structure system, and the most powerful collective of self-cultivation, family management, country and peace. They do not agree with Cao Cao, a family that is a family that is a slutty family.
Especially after Fei Qian's rise, many Shandong gentry began to say that Cao Cao was the old man and had the ability to compete with Fei Qian. Is it interesting to target us every day? He disdained Cao Cao's suggestions that he should be vigilant about Fei Qian, boost Shandong's manufacturing industry, and re-produce and study new equipment.
Just buy good things about China, we are rich in Shandong!
Cao Cao could not resolve the contradictions within Shandong, so he could only eventually transfer the contradictions outward, attack Guanzhong, seek Hedong, and try to force Feiqian to fight on multiple fronts, travel thousands of miles to weaken his strength, and then gradually erode Guanzhong, and then take over the whole world.
When Cao Cao's march into Guanzhong was unfavorable, the Shandong children broke up again!
Some people think Feiqian is a threat, while others think Feiqian is an opportunity!
Some people shouted that Fei Qian was the next Dong Zhuo, while others sneered that even Dong Zhuo was dead?
Cao Cao went to Hedong and even lost his tribe brothers. He originally thought that he would sound a wake-up call to these gentry children in Shandong, making them alert and understand the danger level of Fei Qian, but things went against their wishes.
Some of the children of Shandong began to feel that Cao Cao was useless and began to plan to welcome a new "relative relative"!
That's right, Cao Cao was actually a "relative relative" in the hearts of Shandong people. Even if he is now the "Prime Minister", nothing has changed.
The Han Dynasty has been around for thousands of years, and the relatives of the foreigners have changed every year.
Eunuchs, relatives of the outside world, and clear streams.
This model was used from Guanzhong to Luoyang.
Cao Cao sighed slightly.
He actually understood the real purpose of some of Fei Qian's actions.
The Han Dynasty's "separation of powers" model actually aimed at the emperor to seize more ruling power from the local area. The so-called "eunuchs, relatives, and clear streams" seem to have three, but in fact there are only two, namely the central and local areas.
The conflict between the central and local governments, this problem, is the root cause of the Zhou Dynasty. Nowadays, many children of the Han Dynasty often advocate the law of Zhou Gong and the ancestral system. They do not really think that the Zhou Dynasty is good, but hope that the central government can enfeoff more princes like the Zhou Dynasty so that they can also become local emperors.
This is a disease and needs to be cured.
Fei Qian said, I have medicine.
When Cao Cao saw that the medicine was poisonous.
Fei Qian said that it is a medicine that is poisonous.
Cao Cao said that if you don’t take medicine, you should take care of yourself first.
Fei Qian said that he would not take medicine and he would have surgery...
So the fight started.
The situation Cao Cao is facing now is like having a difficult childbirth in ancient times. The midwife shouted and rushed out, "Save the big or the small?!"
The ending of everything is that both big and small will most likely die.
The result of protecting only one is that after the matter, the other one will leave resentment. Why not protect both?
Cao Cao's choice was to take another bet.
Ice and fire!
Either fall into the ice cave or return to glory!
...
...
Compared to Cao Cao's worries, Ma Yue was very decisive.
Is he wrong?
Wrong.
His problem is that he has ideas, but he is unwilling to tell them and communicate and negotiate with Pang Tong.
But the question is, how many people in this world will treat everything honestly?
The more serious problem is what those who treat each other honestly end up getting?!
It’s like insulting those judges who support or despise the judgment, but the core point of the problem is to refuse to save the death, or to be guilty of being guilty, or is the judgment improper?
Those who can’t figure out these things out, most of them cannot figure out why Ma Yue made a mistake.
However, most of the time, people who make mistakes don’t think they are wrong.
That's how Ma Yue is.
After dark, Ma Yue issued an order to attack.
Compared with the many contradictions within the Cao army and the mutual doubts, the military academy of the Cavalry Army soldiers and soldiers did not have any opposition.
Everything has its pros and cons.
More than a thousand cavalrymen stepped on their war horses and followed the direction of the river toward the exposed river beach.
Even though it was wrapped in horse hooves and reduced the sound, the tremor could not be completely avoided.
Moreover, when the distance is closer, the sound of the collision between iron armor and weapons cannot be concealed by the sound of water in the big rivers.
But Ma Yue doesn’t care about fear!
He believed that as long as he rushed across the river beach, what could he do even if he was discovered by Cao's army?
So, when Ma Yue felt that he had entered the effective attack range, he issued an order to accelerate.
The Hussar cavalry began to speed up gradually, and the horses pedaled hard on the ground.
The earth trembled slightly, and the sound was like muffled thunder.
The tremor became more and more obvious, and the muffled thunder became tighter and tighter.
...
...
"The Cavalry Army is here!"
As Cao's army, who had fought repeatedly with the Cavalry Army for this period of time, was already very familiar with this tremor.
Cao Jun dug a hole in the ground and buried a urn to collect some small sounds that were farther away, even temporarily inaudible to human ears. Therefore, Ma Yue and others were still exposed at a relatively long distance, at least at a safer distance that Ma Yue thought.
The horse's hooves roared, demonstrating the power that was like a rush of overwhelming seas.
The Cao army was in awe of that kind of power and longed for that kind of power.
Cao Cao is not an experience package, nor is he an NPC set up with the program. He only speaks repetitive words and does repetitive things.
When he saw the fear on the faces of the soldiers around him, he immediately raised his hand and said, "Send the order! All departments prepare!"
Let a person eliminate tension, not tell him not to be nervous, never be nervous, nervous, nervous will be over...
Then that person will definitely become more and more nervous.
The best way is to let him do something else. When his attention is diverted, his tension will gradually decrease.
The messenger ran and passed the order out.
Under the order, the soldiers of Cao's army began to check the weapons and other equipment around them. This simple behavior effectively suppressed the fear that the soldiers felt while waiting.
The thunderous sound gradually became louder, mixed with the sound of the river, like a big river roaring!
To be continued...
