Chapter 220 Cao Cao's Death Trial
Chen Xi looked at Guo Jia speechlessly, who seemed to have a sincere face. If you want to fish, just say it. As for saying it so high-sounding?
But Guo Jia is right. Matters related to military mobilization are indeed matters that Guan Yu is responsible for.
There is no clear separation of military and political affairs in this era. If Chen Xi wants to seize the military and political affairs, he can do it.
Chen Xi's military strategy is not weak, it can even be said to be very strong, but Chen Xi is different from general commanders in generals. What Chen Xi is good at is generals.
Although Chen Xi looks like a passerby, his basic knowledge is really different from other people's basic knowledge.
Don’t compare your own limits with Chen Xi’s lower limits. Sometimes your limits don’t even reach their lower limits.
What you know a little bit means you only know a little bit, and Chen Xi’s knowing a little means he is not as good as the subjects he is best at.
That is to say, Chen Xi is unwilling to stand up and exert the fighting power of a wave of Qin and Han civil servants, otherwise Chen Xi will be captured by the military and political affairs.
However, the military and political affairs can easily be corrupted by power. Even Chen Xi cannot guarantee that he will never be corrupted.
After all, Chen Xi is not the kind of selfless person. Everyone has selfish motives, even Chen Xi is no exception.
So, the appearance of Yang Ji just filled Chen Xi's military gap and prevented Chen Xi from leaving too many traces in Taishan's military system.
This dispatch of troops to Yuzhou and Yanzhou is probably Chen Xi's last expedition in Mount Tai.
But this is just Chen Xi's wishful thinking. After all, Chen Xi will definitely fight in the subsequent battle between Liu and Yuan and the subsequent battle in Northern Xinjiang.
Liu Bei was a very good ruler. He equipped every important minister under his command with corresponding military strength.
It's just that the military power behind some people has already appeared, while others have not yet shown it, or they are waiting for the right time to show it.
Although Chen Xi really wants to promote the policy of separation of military and political affairs, it is simply impossible to complete it at this stage, at least before reunification.
So in order to prevent himself from being immersed in the game of power, Chen Xi will clearly hand over the power in his hands every time he goes on an expedition, and then go on an expedition.
Chen Xi will not ask others to consciously abide by the code of military and political non-interference like him.
Chen Xi didn't know what the situation was like with the others, but Yang Ji resolutely implemented the policy of separation of military and political affairs.
Looking at Guo Jia who was lowering his head to deal with official documents, Chen Xi shook his head. He did not expect that the first person to notice his movements, besides Yang Ji, was Guo Jia who was used to paddling and fishing.
But it seems to be normal. After all, Guo Jia Jia Xu, Li Ru and Yang Ji are professional paddlers, and they found that Chen Xi's movements were also normal.
If Yang Ji and others knew that they were rated as professional paddlers by Chen Xi, they would definitely slap Chen Xi in the face.
【We are professional paddlers, what about you, Chen Zichuan? 】Compared with the professional paddling of Yang Ji and others, Chen Xi’s paddling cannot be said to be paddling, but should be called main paddling, and the job is part-time.
Chen Xi looked at the busy figures around him, then looked at the letter in his hand, and decided to copy it to Guan Yu himself. When sending it over later, he would stop by to see how Cao Cao was doing now.
Chen Xi paused while writing and remembered one thing. Yang Ji was obviously also in the camp outside the city. Why did he send the official document here first and then send it to Guan Yu?
[Forget it, why do you think so much? ] Chen Xi shook his head and continued to copy the official documents sent by Yang Ji.
——
"Boss Cao seems to be very involved." Chen Xi said looking at Cao Cao who was sweating profusely.
"If he doesn't devote himself, he might think of something and scare himself to death." Yang Ji mocked without thinking.
Chen Xi glanced back at Yang Ji and said calmly: "Although Cao Cao's suspicion is a little more serious, his courage and risk-taking spirit are still enough."
In Chen Xi's eyes, Cao Cao's suspicion A little serious, isn't this a normal thing? Why did it become the target of ridicule when Yang Ji arrived?
Could it be said that Yang Ji is a Liu Chui?
But Chen Xi clearly remembered that when Yang Ji had just met Liu Bei, he didn't have the excitement that fans felt when they saw their idol. Instead, he was like 'that's it'.
At that time, Chen Xi almost thought that Yang Ji looked down on Liu Bei and was ready to switch to someone else. However, Yang Ji stayed in Liu Bei's camp and showed his abilities step by step.
How come now, it feels like a fanatical fan crazily belittling other people and then constantly praising Liu Bei?
"I didn't say that Cao Cao's will was not firm enough or his courage was not strong enough." Yang Ji didn't even raise his eyelids.
Chen Xi stiffly twitched the corner of his mouth and confirmed that Yang Ji was mocking Cao Cao's suspicion.
Did Cao Cao do something to offend Yang Ji? Otherwise, with Yang Ji's salty personality, how could he specifically ridicule one person?
"Did Boss Cao offend you?" Chen Xi opened the folding fan in his hand and blocked his mouth to prevent the raised corners of his mouth from revealing his thoughts.
Yang Ji glanced at Chen Xi, and then returned his attention to Cao Cao, "He just came to ask me whether Xiahou Yuan and Xiahou Dun's headquarters army can retain the order of battle."
Chen Xi was stunned for a moment, this is a What's going on?
Logically speaking, with Cao Cao's level of political power, this question should not be asked at this time.
Even if you want to ask, you have to wait until you reach Mount Tai before asking.
Asking here at Yanzhou Chenliu, isn’t it just causing misunderstandings among others?
In other words, Cao Cao did it on purpose. He was testing their way of dealing with them.
The smile on Chen Xi's face also faded, "Huh... It seems that Cao Cao's suspicion is indeed [very serious]."
Chen Xi looked over there, who was still practicing his martial arts. Cao Cao, there is nothing strange about him at all.
"Then what are your plans?" Chen Xi asked Yang Ji calmly.
Although they have formed a consensus regarding Cao Cao's handling method.
But the specific implementation method still has to wait until we return to Mount Tai and discuss with Liu Bei before making a decision.
"After all, it is an elite talent that I have created myself, so what if I keep it in the battle sequence." Yang Ji said calmly.
Not to mention that he originally planned to retain Xiahou Yuan, Xiahou Dun and Cao Ren's headquarters army. He even planned to prepare Le Jin's headquarters army, just waiting for Liu Yuan to start a war and put these few Throw it up.
As a result, I didn’t expect that Cao Cao would come to ask him about these things at this time.
Chen Xi looked at Yang Ji in surprise. He originally thought that Yang Ji would reorganize those few people's army, but he did not expect that Yang Ji would choose to keep them.
However, as Yang Ji said, what can happen even if these few people are retained in the main army.
There are only two or three single-talented legions, but they have hundreds of thousands of single-talented legions here.
Cao Cao no longer has enough troops under his command. Even if he can retain these single-talented legions, they are just plucked birds. A hero can only be achieved if he has enough strength to support him. Without enough strength, he is just a bear.
Looking at how happy Cao Cao is now, he must have gotten the answer he wanted from Yang Ji.
Two single-talented legions, or a legion with Cao Ren and Le Jin, might be able to make up a total of 30,000 people.
Hey, this number is really incredible. Earlier, they, Taishan, couldn't even gather an army of 30,000.
This condition is much better than when Liu Bei first started, with at least three single-talented legions.
"So, you gathered Cao Wei's surrendered soldiers in Nanyang and asked Wen Ze to retrain them, just to select your own soldiers for the generals under Cao Cao's command?" Chen Xi said firmly.
Although Chen Xi also has the idea of retaining the Xiahou brothers and Cao Ren and Cao Chunle into their own army, in case Cao Cao does not have the strength to withstand the outside forces when he goes out.
But he didn't go as far as Yang Ji thought. He directly selected soldiers from Cao Cao's army to join the headquarters of these generals.
I just don’t know if Cao Chun would have been able to train the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry without Cao Cao’s resources as a prince.
Chen Xidao really wanted to see what the situation was like with the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, who were known as the core elite of the Cao family and the strongest legion of the Cao family.
After practicing it, can it be like the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry in history, with the strength to suppress enemies from all directions?
Yang Ji glanced at Chen Xi and said angrily: "Go away, how could I do such a thing."
"If it weren't for the purpose of completing your plan, why would I throw these surrendered soldiers to Nanyang? Wouldn't it be better to place them directly in Yanzhou?
You know, these soldiers are basically locals in Yanzhou, let them hang up If you open up fields for your family under Zilong, you might be very enthusiastic!”
In Yang Ji’s original plan, he planned to put these reduced soldiers directly into Zhao Yun’s farming sequence! of.
After all, after Yang Ji returns, he will take over Zhao Yun's defensive position and free up Zhao Yun so that Zhao Yun can take charge of the farming work in Yanzhou.
It is impossible for Zhao Yun to mobilize the farming army in Qingzhou to cross to Yanzhou. After all, Qingzhou also has farming tasks.
As a result, Chen Xi directly placed these surrendered soldiers under Yu Jin's command and asked Yu Jin to garrison troops in Nanyang.
Now that Chen Xi has said this, what can Yang Ji do? He can only fill in the details that he can handle under Chen Xi's general framework.
Although Yang Ji himself is a salty fish, he also wants to see the establishment of the Han cultural circle mentioned by Chen Xi.
But from the future timeline, the ferocity of the Three Kingdoms era is far beyond what an ignorant country bumpkin like him could imagine.
In order to enable Boss Cao to withstand such an intense attack, Yang Ji could only strengthen Boss Cao in other aspects.
To be honest, Yang Ji originally thought well, but Cao Cao came directly to ask if he could keep the Xiahou brothers' headquarters, which confused Yang Ji.
I am here to think of ways to strengthen you, but you are trying to think of ways to overthrow my boss?
Although I know that Cao Cao definitely didn’t mean this, but who told Cao Cao to ask such a thing at this time.
Very sensitive, okay?
Cao Cao's bad record forced Yang Ji to pay attention. Who knows if Cao Cao will suddenly make a big deal out of him.
Although I know that every time Cao Cao has a big fun, there is a hook, but what Cao Cao likes most is to implicate innocent people.
A massacre in Xuzhou allowed Cao Cao to get away with a prince and nine virtues.
Once a thunderstorm hit the ticket, I don’t know how many families under his command were hacked to death, and some of them were wiped out.
Although he was soaked in medicinal wine by Zhuge Liang in the end, Chen Gong was given an AI intelligence.
In such a bad situation, Yang Ji panicked when Cao Cao suddenly ran over.
Under this situation, Yang Ji was considering whether to detain Cao Cao in the Central Plains and let Cao Ang lead the Cao family and Xiahou family out as an ordinary family.
After all, even Yuan Tan can do that. There is no reason why Cao Ang can't take on the important task of Cao Wei.
Moreover, in a broad sense, Sun Ce, Cao Ang, and Yuan Tan seem to be of the same generation.
Of course, this is just Yang Ji's own guess. After all, the seniority of the family is so chaotic that it will remain chaotic even if it is not sorted out.
Yang Ji only started counting from the founders of the three parties.
"Alas," Yang Ji sighed, "Originally, I planned to do what you said and select soldiers from among these surrendered soldiers to join Cao Cao's generals.
But Cao Cao's bad records made it difficult for him to do so. I started to hesitate whether to do this or not."
"Cao Cao's evil deeds?" Chen Xi looked at Yang Ji thoughtfully, as if Cao Cao in another timeline had done something outrageous. .
"You should take control of these matters yourself. It is not appropriate for me to end now." Chen Xi smiled and handed over the details within the larger framework of the Han cultural circle to Yang Ji.
Yang Ji nodded and said that he would handle the matter properly.
[See how I get stuck on you then! ] Yang Ji said viciously in his heart.
I have to say that Cao Cao's choice to test Yang Ji's bottom line at this time was indeed an extremely wrong decision.
I don’t know what kind of emotions were surging in my heart when Cao Cao was detained by Yang Ji and could only stand there and watch Yuan Shao and others go abroad.
Of course, this premise is that Yuan Shao and others did not offend Yang Ji like Cao Cao, causing Yang Ji to block their process of going abroad.
If this is the case, maybe Cao Cao will mock Yuan Shao and others severely, and then start a battle where they call each other daddy.
"Lord, Yang Ziyu and Chen Zichuan are most likely talking about your test just now." Cheng Yu turned back and glanced at Yang Ji and Chen Xi, who frequently glanced at them.
"The next step is to see if Miaocai and Yuan Rang can get their own legion back." Cao Cao said sadly.
