"Cheng Yu, how fortunate is Cao Cao to have such a strategist?”
Seeing this, everyone in the world sighed with emotion.
The scene in the video was probably Cao Cao's most difficult moment.
Cheng Yu had stood up at this critical moment. It could be said that he had turned the tide. His ability and courage were something that few could compare to.
In the Bohai Sea, Yuan Shao's face darkened as he said coldly,""You're bluffing."
In this scene, he had become a stepping stone for Cheng Yu's fame, which was something that the proud and arrogant him naturally could not accept.
"Cheng Yu is my confidant."
Chen Liu and Cao Cao were overjoyed. They quickly looked for Xiahou Yuan and said,""Quickly go to Dong'e and invite Cheng Yu. With him around, there's no need to fear a Chen Gong.”
"Yes!"
Xiahou Yuan left.
At this moment, Chu Feng's voice rang out once again.
"In the seventh year of Jian 'an, year 202, Cao Cao attacked Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang. Cheng Yu gathered thousands of soldiers from the commoners and fugitives and headed to Liyang to join Cao Cao.
Cao Cao ordered Cheng Yu's men to transport military rations by boat.
At that time, Gao Fan, the governor of Wei County in Jizhou, had gathered a large number of troops in the river, blocking the water and land, and boats could not cross the river.”
On the screen, Cheng Yu and the other generals were discussing,""Gao Fan has gathered most of his forces in the river, so the defense of the city will definitely be relaxed.
If we send out a small number of elites to ambush them, we will definitely be able to defeat them in one fell swoop.”
The generals followed the plan and defeated Gao Fan in one fell swoop. The enemy troops in the river also retreated. Cheng Yu and the others successfully controlled the waterway and transported the rations out, helping Cao Cao defeat Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang.
After the war ended, Cheng Yu was conferred the title of General Energizing and Marquis of An Kingdom Pavilion.
In the 13th year of Jian 'an, 208, Cao Cao attacked Jingzhou and Liu Bei fled to Dongwu for help.
At that time, many people in Cao Wei felt that Liu Bei was like a sheep entering the tiger's mouth and would definitely be killed by Sun Quan.
"Sun Quan has just ascended the throne, and has yet to make the name of Dongwu shake the world." Cheng Yu shook his head.
The lord now has millions of troops and has just taken Jingzhou. His momentum is like a rainbow.
Sun Quan knew that he could not resist the Lord alone. Liu Bei had always been known for his benevolence and righteousness. His subordinates, Guan and Zhang, were both unparalleled generals. Sun Quan would definitely help Liu Bei and achieve his goal of letting Liu Bei resist our army.
Once they stop our attack, Sun Quan and Liu Bei will part ways.
However, now that Liu Bei's strength had increased greatly, it was impossible for Sun Quan to kill him.”
Some people believed Cheng Yu's guess, while others didn't.
Not long after, the news spread back to Cao Wei. Sun Quan of Dongwu did as Cheng Yu had expected. Not only did he provide Liu Bei with military rations, but he also lent him an elite army to help him resist the Cao army.
After taking down Jingzhou, the Central Plains was almost stable, and Cao Cao's power was further expanded.
One day, Cao Cao patted Cheng Yu's back and sighed,""When Lu Bu attacked my Yanzhou, I was almost homeless.
Fortunately, Zhongde gave me advice. Otherwise, how could I have today's achievements?”
Cheng Yu smiled." My lord, as the saying goes, one should know one's feet and not be humiliated. Now that my lord's power has taken shape, it's time for me to step down."”
From then on, Cheng Yu handed over his military power and shut himself in at home.
Jian 'an 16th year, 211.
Cao Cao led his army to attack Han Sui and Ma Chao in Liangzhou, leaving Cao Pi and Cheng Yu to stay behind.
Not long after, Tian Yin, Uncle Su, and the others rebelled in Hejian. Cao Pi ordered Jia Xin to lead the army to suppress them.
More than a thousand rebel soldiers requested to surrender. At that time, many officials in the court believed that they should follow the previous practice and kill these surrendered soldiers.
Cheng Yu objected." In the past, we killed those who surrendered because the world was in chaos and the situation was unclear. That was why we adopted the policy of besieging those who surrendered and not pardoning them.
He wanted to tell the rest of the rebels that if they did not surrender soon, they would end up like this.
From there, wherever our army goes, the enemy will surrender before they surround us. This way, we won't need to surround the city.
And now, the world had basically been pacified.
"Moreover, these rebels are all rebelling in our Wei Kingdom's territory. They are all thieves who are difficult to achieve anything. Even if we kill them all, it will not be enough to intimidate others. It might even backfire.
Therefore, I don't think we should kill this batch of surrendered soldiers.
Even if they wanted to kill him, they had to ask for his lord's opinion first.”
After hearing Cheng Yu's words, many officials said,""In terms of military affairs, we can make our own decisions. There's no need to report everything to the lord.”
Cheng Yu's eyes flashed when he heard this, but he didn't say anything.
After the court meeting ended, Cao Pi met Cheng Yu alone and asked,""Sir, you seem to have something to say.”
" The 'self-deciding' system they're talking about is a system that can only be implemented in the face of an emergency and when a decision needs to be made immediately," Cheng Yu said.
Now that the rebels had been subdued and had applied for surrender, there would be no unexpected situation.
That's why I don't want the general to make some arbitrary decisions that will affect the government and the relationship between the general and the lord.”
Cao Pi finally understood Cheng Yu's good intentions after hearing this. He sighed and said,"Cheng Jun is thoughtful, I can't compare to him.”
Then, Cao Pi told his father everything about Hejian's betrayal and surrender.
As expected, Cao Cao ordered the rebels to surrender.
After returning to court, Cao Cao held Cheng Yu's hand and said happily,""Not only is Zhongde outstanding in strategy, but he is also good at handling the relationship between me and my son.”
