Chapter 127 From serving the emperor to holding the emperor

Problem? Cao Cao encountered another problem?

This is Yi Xiaotian’s subconscious thought, but if you think about it carefully, the small territory has difficulties with small territory, and the big territory has big troubles with large territory.

Today, Cao Cao's power is also quite large.

Due to the constraints of food and grass reserves, the pace of expansion may slow down, but since ancient times, it has been more difficult to defend the country than to fight the country!

The game with the Han court and the emperor is the focus of the next step, and it is even the key to whether Cao Cao can further grow bigger and stronger.

Thinking of this, Yi Xiaotian slightly recalled the historical events of this period.

It seems that before the "Land Edict" was reached, the pro-Han faction in the court had not completely broken up with Cao Cao.

So...what would it be?

Just now I remembered this, Cao Cao's words have already spread.

"Brother Yi, do you know that the court now seems calm, but in fact, it has formed three factions..."

"Well? The three factions?" Yi Xiaotian could probably tell that it was nothing more than the Cao faction and the emperor faction. So, which faction is this third faction?

This suspicion just appeared, and Cao Cao's words came over again.

"Among them, Cao Cao's tribe and old subordinates formed a real power faction with military power. They followed Cao Cao's orders, but they were the Cao Cao faction;"

"And the old Han officials headed by the emperor also formed a faction, and they called them pro-Han faction..."

"In addition, the great families of Yingchuan clans chose to maintain neutrality between Cao Cao and the emperor. They obeyed Cao Cao's orders, and were committed to assisting the emperor of the Han Dynasty and supporting the Han Dynasty... They were considered to be a complete neutral faction."

Huh... Huh...

Speaking of this, Cao Cao took a breath and his whole expression became more serious.

"Brother Yi, now the conflict between Cao Cao's faction and pro-Han faction is becoming increasingly intensified. Cao Cao has soldiers in his hands, but the pro-Han faction has fame. Cao Cao is worried that if he uses thunder means to suppress the pro-Han faction like Dong Zhuo, it will probably cause dissatisfaction among the princes in the world. However... in this way, Cao Cao is controlled by the pro-Han faction everywhere..."

well…

Cao Cao sighed helplessly and asked tentatively. "Brother Yi, not only Cao Cao is worried, but I am worried about this matter. In this situation, I don't know how to take the team? How to choose!"

"So that's the problem!"

Yi Xiaotian patiently listened to Cao Cao's words, his eyes turned, closed his eyes and pondered for a moment...

After being reminded by my brother, Yi Xiaotian recalled that in this sensitive period, there were such a small contradiction in history.

Today's court obviously can no longer satisfy Cao Cao's growing desire for power...

But I really want to break up with the court, and I still have some trouble now. So? How to balance the growth of Cao Cao's power and the consolidation of the Han court's status is crucial...

Of course, with Yi Xiaotian's personality, he was unwilling to slap his mess and cut it out with a quick knife. Wouldn't it be nice to have it?

"Discover your confusion, what I said today may be a bit disrespectful!"

Yi Xiaotian should make his statement first...

When Cao Cao heard this, he immediately grinned and laughed.

He was afraid that Brother Yi would respect the Han court very much and would stand on the side of the Han Dynasty. As soon as he blurted out this sentence, most of the stones raised in his heart fell.

"Brother Yi, today I talk about heaven and earth knowledge, you know, I know, and no one else knows it except that."

Speaking of this, Cao Cao winked at Cao Ren beside him.

Cao Ren understood it and immediately stood up and took the pretext to get the wine and leave first.

Now, there are only two people in this unique private room, Yi Xiaotian and Cao Cao.

"Brother Yi? Can you say it now?" Cao Cao asked anxiously...

"Brother, I have three sentences here that you need to savor!" Yi Xiaotian slowly stood up, stood with his hands behind his back, and then murmured three sentences. "The first sentence is to obey the emperor to order the emperor to despise the ministers; the second sentence is to welcome the emperor to order the princes; the third sentence is to obey the emperor to correct the court rules. There are only three sentences, to obey the brother, you can give me a detailed sentence."

call out…

Cao Cao's brows suddenly subsided, his eyes narrowed slightly, as if he was chewing these three sentences carefully!

Serve to the Emperor, welcome to the Emperor, and hold the Emperor!

The character "Feng", the character "ying", and the character "所" seems to have completely answered Cao Cao's deployment on the issue of the emperor in the future.

Cao Cao was a smart man, and he immediately understood the meaning of Yi Xiaotian's words.

Let’s talk about the word “Feng” first… I will respect the emperor as his orders to disobey the ministers, and cultivate farming to store military capital. This is the core strategic plan mentioned by Yi Xiaotian after Cao Cao became the governor of Yanzhou.

The purpose is to gain an excellent reputation.

Even if the emperor was in trouble at that time and was not in the Central Plains, Cao Cao still needed to act lowly to the emperor and the court, and to conquer those traitors who were doing nothing, and to gain recognition and support from the court step by step.

It is precisely because of this political decree that Cao Cao had the ability to fight against the Yellow Turbans, enrich the troops, promulgated the order to seek talents, obtained a group of useful civil servants and military generals, and gained the hearts of the people under his rule...

It can be said that Yi Xiaotian's strategic plan of "submission to the emperor to order the emperor to despise the ministers" laid the foundation for Cao Cao's rise.

And the second sentence is to welcome the emperor to order the princes...

This is also the general policy and strategy proposed by Yi Xiaotian three years ago...

Taking the emperor into his hands and borrowing his orders can accomplish many major and difficult things.

For example, after Cao Cao welcomed the emperor, Sili and most of the counties in Yuzhou surrendered, and the taxi in the Jiaozhi area in the south also expressed their support and paid a lot of tribute to food and grass. Even when the pseudo-emperor Yuan Shu was expelled, they would be rushing for help from all walks of life...

It can be said that it was the strategy of welcoming the emperor to command the princes to make Cao Cao rise rapidly and even grow into a giant second only to Yuan Shao.

As for the third article mentioned by Brother Yi - to use the emperor to correct the court, this is a bit of the meaning of inheriting the first two strategies.

And the most important thing is the word "shackle"...

Holding, holding hostage... Brother Yi means to remind Cao Cao?

Now you don’t need to be so respectful or humble to the emperor. Instead, you should make your own attitude clear, let the court and the relatives of Han make clear their positions, and know who has the final say in Xu Ducheng now, and it’s even time to take action against the original team of the court…

"Brother Yi, I can understand the first two sentences you said, but this third one... I will use the emperor to correct the court? I hope Brother Yi will explain it in detail..."

Cao Cao took the initiative to ask questions, although he had his own understanding.

However, he would rather listen to Brother Yi’s interpretation. Since he met Yi Xiaotian, Brother Yi has never made any mistakes in his big strategy.

"Brother, there is a saying in my hometown that is called "Wear socks first and then shoes first, and be a younger brother and then be a master. Although this is a bit rough, it is not rough..."

"Cao Cao? From the beginning of the slightest to now step by step, he has mastered sufficient territory. He has brave generals under his command, and has promoted the great righteousness of the world to fight against the rebellious officials of the Han Dynasty. Along the way, he has thorns and lives in his life!"

"Where are these Han court ministers? How many of them stood up when the emperor was at its most devastating moment? No... this is a bit biased. The group that really stood up was probably already slashed by Dong Zhuo!"

"What? Cao Cao is taking the blame? He goes to kill Cao Cao? In the end, they tried to use their fame and sophistry to control the Chaotong? How could it be possible?"

Speaking of this, Yi Xiaotian waved his hand, but his tone was a little upset for Cao Cao.

"So I said, Cao Cao has been soft for so many years, and now he should be hard. The so-called soft when he should be soft, and when he should be hard! If I were Cao Cao, I would definitely be more confident and would definitely replace the important position in the court with my own people. I will use this stall to teach all the Han court ministers a good lesson to let them know who is the younger brother? Who is the master!"

"Besides, if there was no Cao Cao in the world, I wouldn't know how many people would be emperors or kings!"

Huo...some people proclaimed emperors, and several people proclaimed kings!

Brother Yi’s words are domineering.

Cao Cao was extremely shocked and cheerful in his heart. He had concerns when he had broken up with the pro-Han faction.

But now that Brother Yi has said that, what else is there to worry about?

But thinking about it, Brother Yi’s words are reasonable. Wear socks and then shoes, and be a younger brother first and then a master. It’s been a younger brother for a long time, and it’s time to turn over!

Thinking of this, a sharp cold light suddenly appeared in Cao Cao's eyes!

"That's right, if there was no Cao Cao in the world, I wouldn't know how many people would be emperors or kings!"
