Chapter 4284: Preparations for the Great War

"I still need to inform Cao Sikong about this kind of thing." Zhuge Liang said very calmly. Although Cao Cao did bad things back then, it was enough for Zhuge Liang to kill Cao Cao, but in the overall situation of the country, it is not a good thing to deceive his own people. .

"Although I think that Cao Sikong should have received the news, but they are in that place, it is difficult to consider the problem from an overall perspective, and I am afraid they are not aware of the overall situation." Chen Xi thought for a while and said.

Chen Xi can trust the abilities of Xun He and others. Even if some of Cao's Five Conspiracies were dug out by Chen Xi, the rest of them are not useless. Five schemes, make up the number, it is still no problem to gather five big boss advisers.

It’s just that Cao Cao is in the pitiful position of the imperial cemetery, and transportation and intelligence are somewhat difficult. If we only look at the problem from Cao Cao’s perspective, I’m afraid we can only see Guishuang giving Ardashir a lot of Materials, it is difficult to quickly realize the political considerations.

Sometimes, political considerations are even more worthy of analysis than military considerations. After all, war is just an extension of politics.

"Let me send a message to Cao Sikong. The sense of crisis brought by your message is definitely not as good as mine." Zhuge Liang said calmly.

Everyone looked at each other, okay, as long as you are happy, so I left this matter to Zhuge Liang. Although Zhuge Liang and Cao Cao have a personal enmity, Zhuge Liang's moral character is still trustworthy, and he will not mess up in this kind of official business. Come, so leave it to Zhuge Liang.

Besides, Zhuge Liang’s words are very correct. Even if Cao Cao saw the secret report sent by others, he would not feel any sense of crisis. He would only take precautions according to the situation of the secret report. Suspiciousness should increase precautions.

At noon, Liu Tong ate beef steamed buns because a whole cow was used to cook steamed buns, so it was considered too tight, so the Political Yuan followed suit, and everyone was very satisfied, even if it was because Lu Su was not working overtime The young people in the dark are also very satisfied, and the food really makes people happy.

The secret letter was sent to Kandahar with the letter eagle. When the super letter eagle flew over, it was still dark in Kandahar. The intelligence personnel received the secret letter and sent it to Chen Gong as soon as possible. Chen Gong has always been responsible for dismantling Zhuge Liang's secret letters, so why did Chen Gong and the examiners give Zhuge Liang a hand in Congling?

Afterwards, this kind of behavior continued. After Zhuge Liang returned to Chang'an, the letter was handed over to Chen Gong in a conservative manner. However, Zhuge Liang would not send a few secret letters to this place in a year, so Cao Cao and the others didn't think too much about it.

"Does Kong Ming have any better ideas? Let me see." Chen Gong opened the envelope while eating the naan.

To be honest, Chen Gong and Zhuge Liang are not on the same page when it comes to treating Cao Cao. What Chen Gong wants is torture, what he wants is pain and happiness, and what he wants is that Cao Cao can accept it, but after accepting it, his mentality is complicated and his blood pressure soars , there is no way, but Zhuge Liang is simple, is Cao Cao still alive?

However, due to the current situation, Zhuge Liang can't take the initiative to kill Cao Cao, so contacting Chen Gong on how to torture Cao Cao's brain vessels is the best choice at present, so the two of them are currently playing well together and have successfully done it Seek common ground while reserving differences.

By the way, after these two things work together, it is basically useless unless Cao's Five Strategies do their best to guard. However, Cheng Yu, the most determined of Cao's Five Strategies, doesn't even bother to guard Chen Gong, because Chen Gong really wants to Things have already been done.

Anyway, Chen Gong can be regarded as one of the top group of people in the world. If he really wants to make trouble, he can make it big no matter what if he seizes the opportunity, but for such a long time and with so many opportunities, Chen Gong did not do it Something that really hurt Cao Cao's power.

As for attacking Cao Cao's brain cells, injuring Cao Cao's brain blood vessels, severely injuring Cao Cao's spirit, etc., this is not within the scope of Xun He and others' consideration. After all, the complicated love-hate relationship between Chen Gong and Cao Cao, as Those who have experienced it also know it.

As long as it doesn't harm Cao Cao's power, everyone can accept those embarrassing actions. Anyway, Cao Cao is so strong, a little mental blow is not fatal, and Chen Gong seems to be very restrained, controlling Cao Cao's blood pressure Impacting the brain, but it is within the range of not being dizzy, which is completely acceptable in the eyes of Xun Yu and others.

Anyway, as long as people have nothing to do, as for other things, they can do whatever they want, and besides, doesn't Chen Gong also work hard? If you really want to say that you have made a great contribution to Cao Cao's forces, everyone has considered this act of venting, and it is still acceptable. After all, Chen Gong is not a subject of Cao Cao's forces. If you really want to say, Chen Gong's official position is still suspended. Over there in Chang'an.

But still the same sentence, for the top group of people, these things are actually not restrictive, even Changan is using them with an attitude of making the most of the situation, anyway, just don’t cheat your own people, what do you like to do? What are you doing? Anyway, military merit is calculated according to military merit, so you can just think about it yourself.

If it is broken, the title is low, and the future generations will suffer.

Of course, if Li You, Jian Yong, and Sun Qian directly stated that I have no children, then there is nothing to say. Chen Gong still has a family, wife and children, so he is still struggling.

Chen Gong, who was eating the cake, opened the secret letter and glanced at it, but he stopped eating the cake, which is a big deal.

Just as Chen Xi estimated before, Cao Cao has actually collected some news about Weisudeva I supplying Ardashir with a new batch of supplies. After all, Xun He, Xun You, Chen Qun and others are not vegetarians.

Earlier, the information was transparent in individual items. That was because Chen Gong laid mines for Cao Cao and directly ate the Beigui Yuanyuan Party. It grew rapidly, but the foundation was also vain because of it. Too complicated manpower led to the loss of individual items of information. .

But after Xun You and Cheng Yu's calculations were completed, the spies belonging to Guishuang on Kandahar's side were basically cleaned up.

This is why not long after Ardashir's arrival, Cao Cao planned to attack Kabul when Ardashir's foothold was unstable. As a result, Guishuang broke out that Wei Sutipo I married Liu Ling. Floating, Cao Cao can only stop to maintain stability.

Then came the way of Chen Gong, that disgusting person, which is to send all the middle-level northern nobles under Cao Cao's command to Chang'an. This outrageous way of playing, the regent princess is the ultimate luxury of your Da Yue clan, Cao Sikong Decided to send you to open your eyes!

The problem is solved, Cao Cao's face is as blue as frozen bones, but he came back to life after taking some medicine, how should I say) This solution is of course no problem, it completely solves the problem of surrender and rebellion, and avoids Guishuang orthodox who owned Liu Ling came to pull the sheep, and also solved the possible spy problem.

But this kind of solution is close to saying that you thought this was your person? Hehehe, actually not, this is the person of Her Royal Highness the Princess.

Of course, Chen Gong explained to Cao Cao that no matter how much these people admire the eldest princess, the eldest princess will not be able to come here in Chang'an, and you don't have to worry about the other party seizing power for that salted fish, just using the other party's name to pull the sheep. Is it good?

You are not afraid of a salted fish, are you? You are a capable minister in troubled times, Cao Mengde, a hero in troubled times, you must have confidence in yourself!

Cao Cao's brain vessels were twitched by Chen Gong's sharp words, but still the same sentence, the plans that Chen Gong could come up with aboveboard were basically the best plans, even Xun He, Xun You, and Chen Qun People like Cheng Yu and Cheng Yu would agree.

Of course, this is not to say that the above four people are not as good as Chen Gong, but more directly. Because these four people are the advisers of Cao Cao's forces, some strategies cannot be used and need to be detoured. The reason why they acted as they wished was that sometimes the best answer they came up with could not be told to Cao Cao.

But Chen Gong is different, Chen Gong doesn't care about this at all, I should mess with your Cao Cao mentality, as for whether these four guys use this as a glove, Chen Gong actually doesn't care, what do you like, as long as you can mess with Cao Cao The mentality is nothing when it is a glove.

This was also the key to the smooth operation of Cao Cao's forces at that time, because they really could use any strategy. For some strategies that Xun or others were not easy to speak about, Chen Gong would speak up, and then Xun or and others comprehensively considered whether to give it to Cao Cao Feed chicken soup.

This led Chen Gong, a civil servant who specially tortured Cao Cao, to live happily under Cao Cao's command, because everyone is a smart person, and they all know how important it is to have such a wise man who can say anything, so as long as Chen Gong If they don't step on the dead line, Xun He and others will even help Chen Gong with some things.

As for Cao Cao's cerebral blood vessels, it should be regarded as a sacrifice for hegemony.

"It's rare, Gongtai is here at this time." Chen Qun raised his head to see Chen Gong and said, he and Chen Gong had no conflicts, and even because they couldn't write two Chen in one stroke, the two of them had a private conversation. The relationship is pretty good.

"Today's value?" Chen Gong looked around and said.

"Well, I'm on duty, and by the way, let's calculate the balance at the end of the year. This year's situation is really good." Chen Qun said with a smile, and then pushed the things he calculated to Chen Gong and said.

For the entire year of this year, Cao Cao did not launch a single war, and even stopped small-scale operations. He has been guarding the fortress in the upper reaches of the Helmand River, and Ardashir, who is in Kabul, has not moved. In the chaos of the early third century, the Imperial Cemetery rarely entered a period of calm.

There is no way, Cao Cao sent all the middle-level people in Beigui to Chang'an, even the soldiers. Ardashir came to Kabul again, and he also needs to win people's hearts, adjust the military structure, and prepare for the next one. They are all in the stage of taking a breather, so they have lived in peace for a whole year.

Cao Cao has no way to fight here, so he can only engage in construction. The water network construction plan near the Helmand River near Kandahar has also achieved rough results. Hundreds of thousands of acres of farmland have been developed. Coupled with a whole year of rest, Xun Yu and Chen Qun were also able to carefully complete the registration of the Beigui Yuanyuan Party and Qimin, and completely entered the stage of Sinicization.

It can be said that the war has stopped this year, but the growth of Cao Cao's power has not slowed down at all. If you really want to say, while the growth rate is faster than before, the foundation has also been consolidated. The Yuezhi surrendered and rebelled.

It is precisely because of this that Cao Cao has actively started preparing for the battle after the middle-level officers sent to Chang'an came back one after another. Yes, and what happened before is also a warning to Cao Cao that he will lose his pie one day, and accidents are easy to happen. If he wants to stay stable, he must rely on strength.

Therefore, in the Kabul River Valley, Cao Cao chose to fight head-on and win it by himself, and only in this way can he prove that Cao Cao is qualified to sit firmly.

"This year seems to be a bumper harvest!" Chen Gong glanced at the data, and since Chen Qun had already simplified it almost, Chen Gong quickly calculated the approximate total.

"The Li family and the Wang family are really good at the water network structure. Now the main road has basically been completed, and the rest are the tributaries." Chen Qun said with some respect, let alone these years, even if it is a thousand years After that, all those who did well in water conservancy had amulets.

"Here, this is Chang'an's secret report." Chen Gong handed the secret report to Chen Qun.

Chen Qun didn't ask where it came from. After taking it, he looked at it and frowned slightly, "This matter is quite consistent with our information. We were still thinking about why Weisudeva I would transport Ardashir again. The source of such a large-scale material is here."

"I think we can try to force Kabul when Ardashir is going to attend the wedding. Even if Ardashir is ready and will come back on the day of the wedding banquet, we can try. Destroy the defense facilities in the Kabul area." Chen Gong gave his suggestion directly.

"Small fights are useless, just big fights, and Kabul is not easy to fight. As long as you are prepared, the terrain advantage is too obvious." Chen Qun said with a sigh. They have been studying how to fight Kabul recently, and the results of research and research are more and more research. The more I feel that I can only go head-to-head against the unfavorable terrain, because there are really no good choices in this place.

"Then investigate carefully and prepare for a big fight." Chen Gong said with sharp eyes, "This kind of opportunity cannot be missed."

"That's no problem." Chen Qun nodded, of course he would not let this opportunity pass by, "But don't be in a hurry, just report tomorrow. Speaking of which, Zichu led everyone to make money recently, do you want to participate too? ?”

"Make money?" Chen Gong asked puzzledly, he was not familiar with Liu Ba, although he had met Liu Ba many times, they had different views.
