    Late at night - the prime minister's secret room: Cao Cao, Xiao Yi, Cheng Yu, Man Chong, Mao Jie, Cao Ren, Cao Hong a total of thirty or forty officials were sitting around, and a round table meeting was being held. Cao Pi, Cao Zhang, Cao Zhi,  The four young masters Cao Xiong were also present at the meeting!

    In usual military and political meetings, Cao Cao sits in the middle, surrounded by his disciples, and important civil and military ministers line up on both sides. The seats are arranged in order according to official position and title. The sense of hierarchy is very strong!

    The Xuchang coup more than a year ago killed countless officials, soldiers, and people, including many important officials of the imperial court. The grief of the rabbit's death and the fox's death inevitably caused the separation of people's hearts. In order to reunite people's hearts, Cao Cao came up with this method to let everyone unite.  Sit and gather together!

    In fact, the round table meeting method was the first of its kind in the Wuchou House. In order to bring harmony to his wife and concubines and unite his children, Xiao Yi spared no effort in manpower and financial resources to make a round stone table with a radius of over ten feet, simple and neat, and placed it in the back house.  middle!

    Whenever there is a meal, the whole family sits around and enjoys the food together. Everyone is the same distance from the center of the table, so there is no distinction between high and low, or concubine. Naturally, it is a happy time!

    After this incident spread, it aroused praise and imitation by many people, and Cao Cao was one of them. However, from the perspective of effect, this move was an imitation of others. How can the people's hearts that have been separated be easily united?

    "Brush! Brush!¡ª¡ªZhi! Zhi!"

    The generals with different surnames, headed by Xiao Yi, all sat around the left side of the round table, while the clan generals headed by Cao Ren and Xiahou Dun sat around the right side of the round table. They looked united and harmonious, but in fact they were clearly divided, even looking at each other.  In the middle, there are also fires, lightning and thunder!

    In the previous military coup, the clan generals took the opportunity to launch an attack to restrain the seals and military symbols of generals with different surnames, and indirectly forced Lord Xun You to death. Although the situation later calmed down, rifts between the two sides appeared!

    For more than a year, the two sides have been fighting openly and secretly, refusing to give in to each other, especially on court affairs. As long as one party agrees, the other party will definitely oppose it, and then fall into a tug of war, which has delayed many major events. This is very detrimental to Cao Ying.  of!

    "We are summoned here today to discuss military and national affairs. I hope you will abandon your prejudices and grudges, and work together to achieve a great cause!"

    "What the Prime Minister said is absolutely true - we will definitely work together to accomplish great things as soon as possible!"

    ?¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­

    As the leader of the group, Cao Cao naturally wanted to persuade everyone and hope that everyone could get back together. For the sake of the Prime Minister, everyone nodded in agreement and showed a smile of unity. All it took was one person to make an alliance with blood!

    But do the uneven and provocative slogans prove the relationship between the two parties - they are still at odds with each other. Once the rift in interests occurs, it will be difficult for gods to make up for it. Unless one party falls, the internal friction will not stop!

    "Hey!¡ª¡ªThe current situation of division is all my fault!"

    Cao Cao lamented in his heart, but he had no better way. If he wanted to become an emperor, he could not do without the support of the generals of his clan, and the support of generals of different surnames was indispensable. He could not rule the world with the strength of one family and one surname alone!

    We must find a way as soon as possible to make up for the huge rift. Otherwise, if the internal friction continues like this, the huge foundation he has created will fall apart sooner or later. Thinking of this, Cao Cao waved behind him!

    Four attendants came over, carrying a huge map, about one foot long and wide, with countless mountains, rivers, and cities drawn on it covering the thirteen states in the world, it was the map of the Han Dynasty!

    With the power of the Cao Ying Group, they are no longer planning a territory, but are ambitious and want to annex the entire world. The Central Plains is already in their hands. The next step is to point their swords at Jiangnan!

    "Since I raised my army in Yanzhou, after more than ten years and more than a hundred bloody battles, I have swept away all the princes and captured all the Central Plains. This is not only the blessing of heaven, but also the help of all of you!

    The imperial court has issued decrees several times for Liu Biao, Liu Zhang, Sun Quan, Zhang Lu and Natu to surrender and pay homage to the emperor. However, the four of them ignored it and instead recruited troops to resist the imperial court. Their treason was fully exposed!

    There are millions of soldiers and thousands of generals in the imperial court. How can we allow the rebellious ministers and traitors to seize one side of the country? I want to send an army that will overwhelm the country, crusade against the rebellion of the four towns of Jiangdong, Jingzhou, Hanzhong, and Yizhou, and restore the unification of the world. What do you think?  "

    Cao Cao spoke of the topic of discussion in a positive tone. He obviously made up his mind to send a large number of troops to the south. Everyone in the meeting could support it, but they must not oppose it!

    "Your Majesty, the Prime Minister, is wise and mighty. He will definitely conquer the south of the Yangtze River and rule the world. We will follow you to the death."??¡±

    The generals of the clan named Cao all stood up, raised their arms and shouted in support of the army going south, especially the young men like Cao Xiu and Cao Zhen, who were eager to conquer cities and conquer territory and make achievements on the battlefield!

    But more than twenty generals with different surnames, led by Xiao Yi and Cheng Yu, all chose to remain silent. In military and political meetings, silence represents opposition!

    ??Everyone understands in their hearts that the current Cao Ying Group is a typical external force but a middle-aged cadre. It is not suitable for a large-scale move south, and there is no guarantee of victory!

    First of all: Since the rise of the Cao Ying Group, it has defeated the Yellow Turbans, destroyed Lu Bu, conquered Yuan Shu, defeated Yuan Shao, and fought against the Xiongnu, Xiqiang, Di people, Hu Jie, Wuwan, and Xianbei in turn. It has been almost every year without fighting. Although it has achieved  A glorious victory, but at a huge price!

    Especially the two wars of Guandu and the Northern Expedition - they were long-lasting and resulted in heavy casualties. The grain, grass, ordnance, and money accumulated over the years were almost exhausted. The soldiers suffered heavy casualties, and the civilians were exhausted, and even felt war-weary!

    Although two years have passed, the vitality of Cao Ying Group has still not recovered. If a large number of troops are sent south, it may be difficult to supply logistics, food, military pay, and replenishing soldiers and civilians is also a big problem. How can we continue to fight for a long time?

    Secondly: Cao Ying Group dominates the Central Plains, and its soldiers are all from the north. They are good at horse warfare, infantry warfare, chariot warfare, and mountain warfare. Once they reach the south - the Yangtze River Basin, the climate and soil are not suitable for them, and they are prone to illness. They also have to engage in water battles with the enemy.  , This is using one's own shortcomings to attack others' strengths!

    Although Cao Jun dug the Xuanwu Pond and was building a naval force, the training time was too short and the number of ships was not large. It had not yet formed combat effectiveness and could not compete with the naval athletes from Jingzhou and Jiangdong!

    Among the generals of Cao's army, there are many who gallop around, but none of them are proficient in water warfare. Many of them are still landlubbers and can't even swim. How can they fight against the southern generals who have lived in the Yangtze River basin for a long time and are proficient in water warfare?

    Finally: and most importantly, the Cao Ying Group is short of people. Although it has millions of soldiers and thousands of generals, it lacks souls and is divided internally!

    In previous battles, Cao Cao took charge of the overall situation, Xiao Yi led the troops in front, Guo Jia made plans, Cheng Yu led the way, Xun Yu and Xun You sat in the rear, raising weapons, food and fodder for the army, everyone worked together, so they were invincible!

    As for the current situation, Guo Jia overworked and fell into the army, Xun Yu and Xun You had political disagreements and committed suicide one after another. Xiao Yigong was so powerful that he was highly suspected and could not exert his full strength. Only the headstrong Cao Cao and Cao Cao were left.  Cheng Yu, who is very selfish, can barely support the overall situation!

    The rest, such as Liu Ye, Jiang Ji, Chen Qun, Hua Xin, Man Chong, Mao Jie either lack the ability or experience to participate in high-level games. How can such a broken decision-making layer defeat the enemy?

    Therefore, the current Cao Ying Group is just a paper tiger. It looks very scary on the outside, but in fact it does not have much fighting power. If it really fights with the southern princes, the chance of winning is pitiful!

    Although the truth is clear, no one dares to say it, because everyone understands better that now the Prime Minister is no longer an enlightened master who accepts advice with an open mind and listens to it, but a traitor who is suspicious and murderous. Now speaking out against it is tantamount to  He hit the knife edge himself!

    Didn¡¯t you see that Xun Yu and Xun You were forced to commit suicide one after another? Didn¡¯t you see that Xiao Yigong shocked the master and made his life precarious? All three of them were great heroes, and they ended up like this. What should others do? It¡¯s better to be wise and protect yourself!

    "Since there is no objection, the large-scale dispatch of troops to the south has been officially decided. Elite troops from all ministries are ordered to quickly assemble in Xuchang and Luoyang. Ordnance, grain, grass, and military pay must also be fully prepared to support the deployment!

    I have decided that just three months later, when the midsummer has just passed and the autumn wind has not yet risen, while the princes are busy with farming and have no military preparations, we will send troops to the south to unify the world!  "

    Cao Cao has been on the battlefield for a long time and has rich experience. He naturally knows that the current situation is not suitable for sending troops in large numbers, but he has no choice but to send troops south!

    ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????¡­

    This lets the traitor know that his time is running out and he must complete the task of unifying the world within three to five years. Otherwise, if he delays it, he will not be able to ride the war horse or hold the heavenly sword!

    Although the sons are good, they can only maintain their achievements and have no ability to develop. If they cannot conquer Jiangnan, they will have no hope!

    According to the laws of history, whoever holds the banner of unifying the world is the common master of the world. If the Cao family does not fight for it, someone else will take his place!

    In addition, due to the coup, Cao Cao's prestige has dropped a lot, and the hearts of the civil and military officials are also scattered. He urgently needs a big victory to enhance his prestige, transfer internal conflicts, and reunite the hearts of the people!

    The decision to send troops has been decided. The next step to discuss is where to point the sword.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com)?, the civil and military ministers are also divided, and they urgently need a big victory to enhance their prestige, transfer internal conflicts, and reunite people's hearts!
