Having invited the Sage of Scheming, Ye Bei, to assist him, Cao Cao's ambitions were many times greater than before.
In his heart, his target was no longer Liu Bei, Sun Quan, or Yuan Shao.
His target had already become the five overlords of Qin, Han, Tang, Song, and Ming.
He wanted to become the sixth overlord of the Central Plains!
He wanted to make Wei Country the sixth hegemon country with the help of the Sage of Plans!
In fact, he had already silently made Ying Zheng his target.
Cao Cao took a deep breath and leaned over.
"Imperial Preceptor, I want to be on par with the Five Tyrants of the Central Plains. Is there any hope?”
Ye Bei smiled slightly when he heard this and said,"
"The King of Wei has my help, so why not?”
"However, such people are unprecedented and have a strong country. How should I progress?”
Cao Cao narrowed his eyes, his eyes filled with anticipation and passion.
Ye Bei dipped his finger into his wine glass and drew a map on the table.
"If the King of Wei wants to become an overlord like the Five Tyrants of the Central Plains, there are a few people he must take down!”
"Who is it?" Cao Cao asked.
Ye Bei pointed at the map with his finger.
"Yuan Shu, Liu Bei, Sun Quan, Yuan Shao, Zhang Xiu, and Gongsun Zan!”
"If the King of Wei wants to achieve great things, he must take down these six people!”
"They are currently the King of Wei's most powerful enemies. If we can seize their territory and population, the King of Wei only needs to rest and recuperate.”
"After the people settle down and the army becomes strong, they will have the capital to fight for the Central Plains.”
"Now, Wei Country is here.”
"However, Yuan Shu was the king of Huainan, and Sun Quan occupied Jiangdong and part of it. Their national strength is not inferior to the King of Wei!"
"If we leave it alone, it will definitely become a huge obstacle for the King of Wei in the future!”
"As for Lu Bu, he currently occupies Xuzhou and has many elite soldiers under him.”
"Lu Bu also has the courage to fight against ten thousand people, and he can fight against a thousand soldiers alone.”
"This person is like a sharp sword that will attack Wei at any time. He is a huge threat and must be eliminated as soon as possible!”
"Otherwise, it will be a big problem.”
"Then there's Zhang Xiu. He's the son of General Zhang Ji, the representative of the Liangzhou clan. He's also allied with Liu Biao to defend Wan City.”
"Although Wan City isn't big, it's too close to the Wei Kingdom. To the south, it's connected to Liu Biao's Jingzhou, and Zhang Xiu is stationed here.”
"If we don't get rid of it, we will definitely be restricted by it in the future. We should get rid of it first.”
As Ye Bei explained, he drew a map on the table.
Cao Cao listened attentively, nodding and praising from time to time, thinking that it was wonderful.
"Imperial Preceptor is telling the truth. These people have been giving me a headache for a long time.”
"Especially Zhang Xiu's Wan City, it's simply a thorn in my heart!”
"However, Zhang Xiu is on good terms with Liu Biao, and Liu Biao is on good terms with Yuan Shao.”
"Yuan Shao has many soldiers and generals. If Wei sends troops, Yuan Shao will definitely go south to take Wei or help Wan City.”
When Cao Cao spoke, his brows were tightly furrowed, and his expression was very difficult.
"Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zan are not worth worrying about at the moment.”Ye Bei said.
"Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zan are currently fighting in the north and have no spare energy to deal with Wei.”
"The two of them are currently at loggerheads. All their energy is focused on the northern battlefield.”
"Even if Yuan Shao wanted to help Zhang Xiu, with Gongsun Zan holding him back, he would be powerless and unable to mobilize his troops.”
"Yuan Shao is still clear about the difference between the northern territory and a mere Zhang Xiu!”
"Therefore, the King of Wei does not need to worry about Yuan Shao. You can attack Wan City without worry to eliminate future troubles!”
"Moreover, once we take down Wan City, Xu Prefecture will be right in front of us. We can send troops to conquer it at any time.”
Cao Cao took a deep breath." If it were someone else, I would be at ease. But the one guarding Xuzhou is Lu Bu. He is able to block thousands of troops. It will be difficult to take him down in a short time."”
"If someone were to help during this period, wouldn't the Wei Kingdom be attacked from both sides?”
Ye Bei nodded." Indeed. Xu Prefecture is high and has ample food. It's difficult to conquer.”
"Moreover, Lu Bu has the courage of a thousand soldiers.”
"Not only does the King of Wei need to invest a large number of troops, but he also needs to be prepared for a long-term battle.”
"As for the help of outsiders, hahaha!"
Ye Bei suddenly laughed.
"If Lu Bu was attacked by Yuan Shao, would the King of Wei intervene?”
"No!" Cao Cao shook his head.
"I don't either!" Ye Bei nodded.
"Lu Bu, a servant of the three surnames. However, it was difficult to nurture a wolf's ambition for a long time. He was rough and lacked close relatives. He was just an ordinary man who was tough and rude.”
"Moreover, none of the three times he acknowledged his father had a good ending. For such a person, no one would help him. In fact, they even wished that he would die early.”
"Thus, Lu Bu is not worth worrying about."
"As long as we take down Lu Bu, Yuan Shu will be next.”
"Yuan Shu is narrow-minded and has no courage or strategy. He listens to calumny and is not worth mentioning.”
"As long as we take down these few people, there will be no one in the surroundings who can defeat them. The overall situation will be settled!”
"Even if Liu Bei, Sun Quan, Yuan Shao, and Gongsun Zan manage to react, they will no longer have a chance to resist. At that time, the King of Wei only needs to recuperate and prepare for war.”
"After that, we can slowly plan."
"After annexing Liu Bei, Sun Quan, and Yuan Shao, it will be enough to become the sixth hegemon of the Central Plains.”
As Ye Bei spoke, he talked about the map on the table. The more Cao Cao looked at it, the more shocked and excited he became.
He didn't know when, but he realized that the area of Wei State on Ye Bei's map was constantly expanding.
It even had the momentum to contend with the Five Tyrants of the Central Plains.
All of this happened in the time it took for a meal.
Guo Jia was also listening to Ye Bei's words as he thought about the strategy in his mind. He realized that Ye Bei's strategy was flawless.
Every step seemed to have been calculated.
This kind of arrangement was like a perfect strategy that had helped the Wei Country target other countries for more than ten years!
Hence, he couldn't help but clap his hands and cheer!
"My lord, you alone can defeat a million soldiers!”
Guo Jia walked out, cupped his hands and bowed to the ground, congratulating Cao Cao.
Cao Cao also nodded his head, his heart filled with joy.
At the same time, he felt extremely fortunate.
He was glad that Ye Bei was his state preceptor and not his enemy.
Otherwise, not to mention fighting for the Central Plains, even protecting Wei would be a problem!
Therefore, he was even more impressed.
"Imperial Preceptor has really opened my eyes!”
"I must give Imperial Preceptor a toast!”
Below the stage, the strategists began to discuss.
They had also discovered that Ye Bei's plan had been thorough.
Although Zhang Xiu was brave, he only had the strength of a city and could not resist Wei.
Although he had allied with Liu Biao, Liu Biao was a timid person. He would definitely hesitate. By the time he reacted, it would be too late.
And Yuan Shao was currently being held back by Gongsun Zan and had no time or energy at all.
This was definitely a great opportunity!
"Lord, I think Imperial Preceptor's plan is feasible!”
Guo Jia cupped his hands and said.
Then, Sima Yi stood out as well.
"Imperial Preceptor's plan is foolproof!"
Immediately after, Yang Xiu, Jia Xu, and the rest stepped out one after another.
"Imperial Preceptor's plan is foolproof!"
Cao Cao laughed.
"Since everyone has no objections, then we should prepare as soon as possible to take down Wan City!”
