Wen Ce is here?
Zhao Mu looked at Xun Yu and Xi Zhicai, gesturing to Cao Cao.
Cao Cao had specially come to ask for advice because he wanted to borrow Zhao Mu's foresight.
However, Zhao Mu did not know why Cao Cao had asked Xun Yu and Xi Zhicai to accompany him.
"There's news from the south that Liu Yao has replaced Chen Wen as the new governor of Yangzhou. Generals Wu Jing and Sun Ben have brought Liu Yao to Qu 'a in Jiangdong.”
"However, Liu Yao believed that Wu Jing and Sun Ben were Yuan Shu's men, so he expelled them and chose Fan Neng and Zhang Ying to guard the riverside against Yuan Shu.”
"So Yuan Shu appointed the governor of Yangzhou and joined forces with Wu Jing and Sun Ben to attack Fan Neng and Zhang Ying.”
"Now that Yuan Shu and Liu Yao are fighting, they have no time to look north. Tao Qian of Xiapi County is isolated and helpless!”
"I intend to recruit Tao Qian again to solve the unstable factors in Yanzhou. What does Jing Lue think?”
Cao Cao calmly stated his plans and goals.
Zhao Mu pondered quietly.
With Xun Yu and Xi Zhicai around, there was no need to ask him about the decision to go to war.
Yet, Cao Cao chose to come and ask?
The purpose was obvious.
Attacking Tao Qian wasn't the main goal. Dealing with the unstable factors in Yanzhou was the core.
Cao Cao wanted to use the excuse of conquering Tao Qian to lure the people of Yanzhou into rebelling!
The entire Yanzhou rebelled and was always a thorn in Cao Cao's side.
The history that Zhao Mu told him was that when he went to Tao Qian to avenge his father, the entire Yanzhou rebelled.
And now.
Although Cao Song was not dead, those who had second thoughts in Yanzhou would not stop rebelling just because Cao Song was not dead.
The reason why he was still hiding was because Cao Cao was still in Yanzhou!
Once Cao Cao's army was outside, Yanzhou would definitely be in chaos!
Due to this concern, Cao Cao, Xun Yu, and Xi Zhicai discussed many times and formulated a strategy to lure the snake out of its hole.
However, Cao Cao was worried that there would be a flaw in this strategy, so he decided to ask for Zhao Mu's opinion.
After all.
Zhao Mu was a transmigrator and could see many things that Cao Cao could not!
"Cao Gong is thinking of luring the snake out of its hole?"
Zhao Mu's words exposed Cao Cao's intention. Xun Yu and Xi Zhicai's eyes were filled with surprise.
Obviously.
They didn't expect that their strategy would be exposed by Zhao Mu!
Behind the curtain, Guo Jia was also secretly amazed."Jing Lue's understanding of Yanzhou is no less than Wen Ruo and Zhicai. This method of luring the snake out of its hole must have come from Zhicai. But Jing Lue had seen through it so easily!”
Cao Cao's eyes lit up, confirming Zhao Mu's guess.""Jing Lue is right, I have the same intention! However, luring the snake out of its hole is too dangerous. I'm worried that the snake won't die even if it's lured out, so I hesitated.”
Seeing that Cao Cao still had no intention of asking Xun Yu and Xi Zhicai to leave, Zhao Mu pondered and said,""This is indeed a very risky move, but Yanzhou's internal problems are not eliminated. Every time Cao Gong goes out, Yanzhou will encounter a crisis.”
"If Cao Gong wants to use this plan to lure the snake out of its hole, there are two people that we need to guard against!”
"Which two people?" Cao Cao's eyebrows raised in delight.”
Zhao Mu raised two fingers." Marquis Wen, Lu Bu, and Prime Minister Liu Bei of Pingyuan!”
Lu Bu?
Liu Bei?
Cao Cao was stunned.
Xun Yu, Xi Zhicai, and even Guo Jia, who was behind the curtain, were all in disbelief!
As long as Zhao Mu said that he was worried about Yuan Shu suddenly going north, he would be more reliable than these two people!
Although Lu Bu had been famous for his bravery a few years ago, he was now in dire straits and was not doing well under Yuan Shao.
Recently, there were rumors that Lu Bu had offended Yuan Shao and fled to Shangdang to join Zhang Yang.
Guard against Lu Bu?
What kind of Lu Bu did he need to guard against?
As for the Pingyuan Minister Liu Bei, he was even more ridiculous. Where did this unknown character come from?
Was the Prime Minister of a small commandery worth guarding against?
"Jing Lue, what capabilities do Lu Bu and Liu Bei have that I should be wary of them?”Cao Cao voiced everyone's doubts.
"If the Yanzhou scholars want to rebel, they must elect a new Prefecture Overseer to be qualified to compete with Cao Gong," said Zhao Mu with a smile.”
"And this new Prefecture Overseer cannot be as difficult to control as Cao Gong. He must be obedient and at the same time have the ability to fight!”
"Obviously, Lu Bu, who was once under Dong Zhuo and has now left Yuan Shao, is very suitable!”
"If I'm not wrong, some scholars from Yanzhou have already gone to Shangdang to lobby Lu Bu!”
Zhao Mu could guess who the Yanzhou scholars wanted to persuade?
This was too ridiculous!
Xun Yu, Xi Zhicai, and Guo Jia felt like they were hallucinating.
The Yanzhou scholars wanted to recommend a new Prefecture Overseer to replace Cao Cao, and this person was easy to control, just like Liu Biao in Jingzhou.
Xun Yu and the other two could guess this reasoning.
However, when it came to Lu Bu, Xun Yu and the other two did not have such ability!
Cao Cao frowned.
Xun Yu and the other two would think that Zhao Mu had guessed it, but Cao Cao knew that Zhao Mu was using historical records to deduce it!
"Lu Bu?"
"This person is extremely brave and is good at commanding troops in battle. If he obtains the support of the Yanzhou scholars, he will indeed be a big hidden danger!”
"Wen Ruo, Zhicai, we need to make some changes to the generals who are guarding Yanzhou.”
Xun Yu and Xi Zhicai nodded.
Before you win, you lose.
Regardless of whether the Yanzhou scholar had recommended Lu Bu or not, taking Lu Bu into consideration would lower the chances of defeat!
"This Liu Bei, what's going on?”Cao Cao looked at Zhao Mu, wondering why Liu Bei had suddenly appeared!
