Cao Cao could even roughly guess why Su Xuan allowed him, Yuan Shao and other princes to compete for hegemony in the Central Plains and the northern states, but temporarily stayed in Jingzhou to bury his head in development, and did not expand externally.

Is it really just because of his new bureaucracy?

Not necessarily!

No one has stipulated that once you have won the territory, you must be in a hurry to complete the reform quickly, right?

It's completely possible to take it step by step, and it's okay to take it slowly!

At most, there will be some hidden dangers left temporarily, but these can be removed one by one in the future.

But Su Xuan did not send troops,

First, it is because Su Xuan has absolute confidence in his own strength.

felt that even if his Cao Cao and Yuan Shao and other princes continued to expand their power, they would not be his opponents for Su Xuan in the future.

Second, because Su Xuan didn't want to cause too many casualties among the people.

"Four-seven-three" He wanted to reduce the number of wars, and when these princes were fully expanded, they would complete the battle in one battle.

"Yuan Chang, you first find a way to contact Chen Deng, try to rebel against him, and then let him be our internal response!"

"If you attack the water, you can make preliminary preparations for the time being, you don't need to, let's try not to use this strategy, it's really too damaging to the peace of the sky, and the gains outweigh the losses!"

"What I want is a complete Xiapi City, not a ruin!"

"Otherwise, it's better to let Liu Bei and them occupy Xuzhou!"

Cao Cao immediately instructed Zhong Xuan.

"Whoa!"

Although Zhong Xuan was very surprised in his heart, he didn't think it was like what Cao Cao would say, but he still agreed.

The strategy has been given, and it is not up to him to control how Cao Cao chooses.

Cao Cao is not such a master who is easy to fool and manipulate.

At this time, all the conversations here were clearly heard by Jia Thirteen with the Imperial Beast.

His face suddenly changed slightly: "I really almost forgot this!"

"If they are really allowed to attack Xiapi City with water, then I am afraid that hundreds of thousands of people will suffer!"

"It's absolutely not going to work!"

Saying that, Jia Thirteen asked people to call Chen Deng, and then told Chen Deng the contents of Zhong Xuan's two strategies.

Then he said: "Yuanlong! It seems that our previous arrangements are not perfect enough! We may need to make adjustments!"

"No matter what, we can't let Cao Cao finally choose the water attack method!"

"Otherwise, we won't be able to explain it to the lord!"

"In addition, I will pass this news to the lord later, I believe that the lord will not agree to let Cao Cao have the opportunity to use the water attack!"

"So, I may have to wronged you to secretly surrender to Cao Cao, and then come to help Cao Cao break the city as an internal response, what do you think?"

It will undoubtedly damage Chen Deng's reputation and bear the infamy of betraying the master.

"It's nothing!"

When Chen Deng heard this, he shook his head and said, "I actually expected it, so I didn't recognize Liu Bei as the master from beginning to end!"

"It has always been commensurate with the King of Qi, just to prevent this situation from happening now!"

"So, don't worry about me, it's not a problem to secretly throw yourself at Cao Cao first!"

"Actually, from the moment I knew that the lord was not going to take Xuzhou for the time being, I understood that this situation would occur!"

"After that, I even have to turn my back on Cao Cao, so I am not ready to completely defect to Cao Cao in the future, I still need to maintain a simple relationship between superiors and subordinates!"

"Anyway, our family has always given outsiders the impression that everything is in the family's interests first;"

"If things are completely contrary to the interests of the family, we will stop losses in time and make corresponding changes;"

"Now it's the right time to take advantage of that!"

"Of course, this will make Cao Cao not trust my Chen family very much in the future, and it is impossible to give me a heavy responsibility, but this is also what I want!"

"After that, I can continue to stay in Xuzhou, and I can stay in office!"

"I'm still waiting for the day when the lord will send troops to Xuzhou, so I can help the lord easily take Xuzhou as an internal helper!"

"So, there is nothing wronged or wronged!"

"It's just that it may not be able to take off for too long!"

"This is contrary to the lord's previous task, and you still need the thirteenth brother to explain it to the lord. (If you read a violent novel, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

You can't have it both ways!

"Hmm!"

Jia 13 nodded affirmatively: "I understand! Without further ado, I'll send a letter to the lord!"

"Yuanlong, you are also waiting for Cao Cao's side to send someone to contact you at any time!"

"I guess before that, the lord's reply should be able to convey it first.........."

"Good!"

Chen Deng immediately responded, turned around and left.

He couldn't leave for long, and there were plenty of places in the city that needed him at this time.

More than an hour later,

On the side of Xiangyang Qianwangfu, Su Xuan received a letter from Jia Thirteen.

"Heh, this Zhong Xuan is really a ruthless person!"

After Su Xuan read it, he immediately sneered.

He didn't expect that without Guo Jia, someone on Cao Cao's side still proposed this vicious plan to him.

"Hmm, Zhong Xuan, Zhong Yuanchang, Lord, what's wrong with him?"

Xun You and the others on the side listened and couldn't help but ask curiously. []

"Whew... This is the latest information from the secret guards over there in Xuzhou, you can understand it by looking at it!"

Su Xuan didn't explain directly, but handed the information in his hand to Xun You and others to circulate.

"I see!

Xun You and the others frowned after reading it, and Xi Zhicai couldn't help but sneer and said, "However, this is very in line with Zhong Xuan's character!"

"He's not a man who cares about the lives and deaths of his people;"

"As long as he can make enough credit, as long as he can bring enough benefits to the family, he can do whatever it takes!"

"Fortunately, there are secret guards to monitor at all times, otherwise, if Chen Deng and them really proceed according to the previous plan, Cao Cao may really have to choose this ruthless plan 2.9 strategy!"

"Indeed!"

Xun You also nodded, and then stroked his beard and pondered: "However, Cao Cao obviously hesitated, and preferred the former, it seems that he received the image of the lord!"

"What do you think, lord?"

Xun You said, looking at Su Xuan.

He still knows Cao Cao's character and personality very well.

If it weren't for Su Xuan, Cao Cao would never have cared about the life and death of the people at such a time.

For a hero like Cao Cao, those who achieve great things should do whatever it takes.

In this process, he didn't care how many people were killed or injured.

But he can dominate the world and achieve hegemony, and then compensate the people, just be good to the people!
