Three Kingdoms: I choose to assist Sun Jian

"You said Cao Cao is immigrating to Luoyang recently?"

"Exactly!"

Chen Duan hurriedly said:

"Recently, Cao Cao first led five thousand troops under his command, Xia Houyuan, to occupy Hangu Pass, and then began to slowly migrate the people of Yanzhou to fill Luoyang!"

"Before, I thought that Luoyang was in ruins and the population was sparse. Cao Cao was like this. Most likely he wanted to revive Luoyang!"

"But now, after listening to the military adviser, I feel that there may be something abnormal at this time!"

When Sun Jian heard this, he quickly looked at Bailiming and said:

"Ruozhong, tell me, what is Cao Cao going to do when he invades Luoyang?"

"In the land of Luoyang, I am afraid that there are less than tens of thousands of people left. Cao Cao is thankless!"

"Yes!"

Bai Liming laughed and said:

"This is even more abnormal!"

"As soon as Cao Cao occupied Yanzhou, he did not intend to recuperate, but began to emigrate to Luoyang!"

"This move is probably because I don't want to go east!"

"In my opinion, Cao Cao probably wants to go west or north!"

"Go west or go north?"

Hearing this, the three of them were all shocked.

Sun Jian said in surprise:

"What did Ruo Zhong say? Cao Cao is crazy!"

"If he wants to go west, there will be Dong thieves blocking the way in the west. If he wants to go north, he will have to cross the Yellow River to enter Hedong or Hanoi, and enter Bingzhou!"

"Of these two places, one has a strong enemy at its side, and the other has a large area and few people. That is comparable to the abundance of population in the Central Plains!"

"Yes, military commander!"

Chen Duan frowned and said:

"I thought that after Cao Cao took control of Yanzhou, his next step would be to go south or east to Xuzhou. Now he is ignoring the Central Plains, but intends to go west. This is unreasonable!"

Hearing this, Qin Song frowned and said:

"Could it be that Cao Cao intends to seek the chairman independently?"

"Independent Discussion Director?"

Sun Jian was shocked when he heard this, but then he shook his head and said:

"Now that Dong Zhuo occupies the natural danger of Tongguan, and is clearing the fields in Hongnong County, with Cao Cao's power, it is very difficult to break through Dong Zhuo's defense!"

"Even if he wants to be famous, he won't be like this!"

After all, he looked at Baili Ming and said:

"Ruo Zhong, why do you think he is doing this?"

Listening to the analysis of the three, Bai Liming shook his head and said with a smile:

"Everyone's argument is reasonable, but it's not right. I think Cao Cao is not crazy, but rather rational, which is scary!"

"As Zizheng said, after Cao Cao occupies Yanzhou, he can go east to Xuzhou!"

"But not only did he not intend to go east, but he intended to go west. Why?"

"This is because he has probably predicted the general trend of the world!"

"What's going to happen next?"

When Sun Jian heard this, he couldn't help being taken aback. The first time these four words appeared in his dictionary was when Bai Liming gave him an analysis.

Didn't expect it to appear here in Cao Cao now?

When Qin Song and Chen Duan heard this, they were both shocked, and they couldn't help but looked at Baili Ming and said:

"The military division means that Cao Cao did not make such a move based on the current situation, but made such a move based on the upcoming general trend?"

"Correct!"

Bai Liming nodded and said:

"Everyone must not judge Cao Cao's actions based on the current situation, it will only confuse yourself!"

"Ever since Cao Cao challenged Dong, this man has looked like a loyal minister of the Han Dynasty who put his life on the line. He has gathered a lot of resourceful people under his command. It is not difficult to predict the next trend!"

With that said, he picked up the map again and said to everyone:

"Today's general situation in the world, with the sudden emergence of our army, has already changed again!"

"First of all, Yuan Shu originally occupied Yuzhou and Nanyang, and has a huge power. He was the most promising enemy of our army!"

"But with Yuan Shu's death, our army's only opponents in the Central Plains are Cao Cao and Tao Qian!"

"But these two are not as large as our army in terms of military strength or territory, and our army is backed by Yangzhou. Apart from Shanyue, there are no enemies in the south!"

"So our army can go north to fight for hegemony in the Central Plains!"

"And in the same way, Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zan are now competing for the hegemony in Hebei. It seems that they are evenly matched, but sooner or later there will be a winner!"

"Whether it is Gongsun Zan or Yuan Shao who wins, they will be able to dominate Hebei, and there will be no enemies except the Northern Husbands."

"I guess Gongsun Zan is strong, but he is no match for Yuan Shao."

"So Yuan Shao, after capturing Hebei, will go south with all his strength to capture the Central Plains!"

"From the perspective of the general situation, if Cao Cao captures Xuzhou now, he may be able to obtain a rich and prosperous state!"

"But in the long run, after he captures Xuzhou, he will be attacked from both sides."

"It can be said that if our army and Yuan Shao exist on either side, after Cao Cao occupies the Central Plains, both of them will be able to fight!"

"But when our army and Yuan Shao exist at the same time, if Cao Cao dares to advance eastward, he will be asking for death!"

"That's why I said that Cao Cao is not only not crazy, but extremely rational!"

Bai Liming said while shaking his head and laughing:

"Cao Cao is playing a big game of chess!"

"He wants to get out and watch from the sidelines. Whether it is going west to Chang'an or north to Bingzhou, he can connect the territories under his command into a line, and sit back and watch the battle between our army and Yuan Shao for hegemony in the future!"

"And when the time comes, whoever can win the hegemony battle between our army and Yuan Shao, he can take corresponding actions!"

"This trick is going west, it can't be said that it's not cheap!"

Having said that, he couldn't help feeling that Cao Cao was really hard to deal with!

Far from being comparable to Yuan Shu and Liu Biao!

Just this move to withdraw from the Central Plains requires great courage to execute it!

"Cao Cao is playing a big game of chess?"

Sun Jian frowned upon hearing this.

Unexpectedly, after following him, Cao Cao also started to lay out the world!

When Qin Song and Chen Duan heard this, they fell into shock.

This strategist didn't know if he didn't analyze it, but he was really shocked when he analyzed it!

I didn't expect Cao Cao's two small actions to hide so many deep meanings behind them!

It seems that the opponent this time is not in the same rank as them!

The two thought about it, looked at Baili Ming for a while and said:

"Then according to the opinion of the military adviser, can our army have a way to control this matter?"

Sun Jian heard this and said:

"What does Ruo Zhong think of our army?"

"How about taking this opportunity to attack Yanzhou first and destroy Cao Cao?"

"No!"

Hearing this, Baili Ming shook his head and said:

"Cao Cao is now vigilant and focused on advancing westward. If our army sends troops, he may even give up Yanzhou in desperation!"

"Don't talk about whether our army can destroy its forces and seize Yanzhou, even if our army really captures Yanzhou, then our army will also cause panic among the surrounding princes!"

"As a result, they may allied to attack our army at the same time!"

"And our army went north to Yanzhou, and the battle line was too long!" 4.5

"It's like entering a pocket. Yuan Shao in the north may go south, Tao Qian in the east may sneak attack, and Liu Biao in the south may attack with Cao Cao!"

"In this way, it is impossible for Yanzhou to defend. The best result for our army is to retreat hastily and make wedding dresses for others!"

"Then our army just sit back and watch Cao Cao go west?"

Sun Jian heard this, frowned and said:

"If there is no strong enemy in Bingzhou right now, if Cao Cao goes north, I'm afraid it will develop!"

But as soon as he finished speaking, Bai Liming laughed and said:

"will not!"

"My lord, we have already played a move ahead of time. Although it was to impress Dong Zhuo, we can restrain Cao Cao now!"

"Play Dong Zhuo's chess?"

Hearing this, Sun Jian thought for a while, his eyes lit up and he said:

"What does Ruo Zhong mean, Lu Bu?"

"Correct!"

Baili Ming laughed and said:

"Since Cao Cao intends to seize Bingzhou, let's work harder and use Lu Bu to contain Cao Cao after Lu Bu kills Dong Zhuo!"

"With Lu Bu here, our army doesn't need to take action, and it can make Cao Cao very uncomfortable!"

"Hahahaha, that's how it is!"

Hearing this, Sun Jian stroked his beard and laughed loudly:

"I almost forgot, there is Lu Bu!"

"I didn't expect Ruo Zhong's previous idle move to have a magical effect now!"

"If Lu Bu can really kill Dong Zhuo, then Cao Cao's strategy will be affected!"

However, although he could understand the meaning of this, Qin Song and Chen Duan who didn't know Bai Liming's arrangement were immediately confused.

Okay, so why did it involve Lu Bu again?

What's the situation? .

Chapter 132 Combine vertical and horizontal, the way to break the game, lay out the battle for hegemony in advance

"Military Master, what's going on with Lu Bu?"

"How can this person contain Cao Cao?"

Facing the two who were playing riddles, Chen Duan couldn't help asking.

When Sun Jian heard this, he smiled complacently and said:

"You two don't know, this matter has to start from the day when our army defeated Yuan Shu!"

As he spoke, he told the two of Bai Liming's divorce plan and its role outside Shouchun City that day.

As a result, Qin Song and Chen Duan were shocked when they heard this:

"So, Li Ru's death was actually caused by a military adviser?"
