Chapter 360

Chen Ren said this, but everyone was stunned. It seems that Chen Ren was used to being a teacher of sun CE, and now he has not forgotten to teach sun CE. Did he forget that he was participating in the military conference in Soochow!

However, sun CE thought about it carefully and finally replied, "I think Cao Cao's assassination is definitely not for the purpose of killing general Bao! There must be a big conspiracy! It's just that the students can't see through the plot. "

If Xunzi and Guojia were not too surprised to hear that sun CE claimed to be a student in front of Chen Ren, then Fazheng and Xunyu, the two advisers who joined later, saw that sun CEE was king of Wu, they still treated Chen Ren with such respect, for fear that his chin would fall off. They joined Soochow very late, and Chen Ren has been keeping a low profile since ten years ago, so they just think that Chen Ren is just the most powerful person under the king of Wu. However, judging from the current situation, Chen Ren's power has faintly surpassed the king of Wu. Xun you's face seems to flash a trace of anxiety in his eyes.

Xun you's changes were in the eyes of his uncle Xun Yu. As an old minister of the eastern Wu Dynasty and a close friend of Chen Ren, Xun Yu was naturally very clear about the relationship between the Chen family and the sun family. When he saw the worry on Xun you's face, he knew that his nephew must be worried about Chen Ren's great achievements. It seems that I'll have a good talk with him tonight, or I'll be involved in the whole Xunzi family if something is done by Xun you.

While Xunzi and Xunyou were still in their own minds, Chen Ren nodded after listening to sun CE's reply and said, "the Lord is right! I have similar ideas in my heart, but I want to hear what you think. Gongjin, tell me first Chen Ren immediately called another student's name.

Zhou Yu, just like when he was taught by Chen Ren in his family before, got up and clasped his fist at any Chen Ren and said, "my Lord, teacher, subordinates think that Cao Cao's purpose of sending a killer to assassinate general Bao and others this time is definitely not general Bao's life. If his subordinates did not guess wrong, Cao Cao's target should be the whole Xuzhou army! "

Zhou Yu's words were like throwing a brick to attract jade, which immediately got people's approval. Xu Shu first said, "what Gongjin said is quite right. I believe that Cao Cao should have used the provisions on the death of military commanders in the military law of the eastern Wu Dynasty to make the Xuzhou army stay in Le'an city. I believe that he should be the target of the Xuzhou army! "

"Not bad!" Fazheng also immediately agreed, "the last time Cao Cao sent an assassin to assassinate general LV Meng, it aroused our army's revenge and just captured Cao Cao's Qingzhou! Cao Cao's sudden assassination of general Bao and others must have known that it would cause extreme retaliation from our Dongwu army! Now Cao Cao's situation is not good, his hundreds of thousands of troops are like a life-saving grass. It's not a good idea to annoy us in Soochow at this time! Unless doing so can bring him far more than the loss, otherwise, I can't think that a traitor like Cao Cao would choose to assassinate so many officers in Soochow at this time. "

At this time, Zhuge Liang suddenly frowned and said, "gentlemen! Have you ever thought, if Cao Cao's target is the Xuzhou army, then what is Cao Cao going to do with the Xuzhou army? Now the main forces of Cao Cao are all hoarded in Yuzhou. Jizhou and Yanzhou, adjacent to Qingzhou, can only make up 80000 at most! Even if you add Youzhou and Bingzhou next to the two states, the maximum number is 156000. However, there are 200000 Xuzhou legions in Qingzhou! Even if there were no generals in the regiment, it was still possible to defend the city according to the city. How could Cao Cao win the 200000 Xuzhou legion with strong walls and sufficient food storage with his 150, 600, 000 troops

As soon as Zhuge Liang's question was raised, it would make the whole study quiet. Yes! Cao Cao is who, how can not see such a simple problem! But Cao Cao did it now. Is it true that Cao Cao's head was broken in Hangu pass? It is estimated that people who think so are really broken their heads.

Since it is impossible for Cao Cao to do so in vain, a new question arises, that is, what the hell is Cao Cao trying to do? Is it difficult to transfer all the main forces in the Yuzhou defense line to Qingzhou to encircle the Xuzhou army? That's impossible! Not to mention whether Cao Cao could succeed or not, Cao Cao was absolutely afraid to transfer those troops to the Jiangdong new army, which was set up in Yuzhou and Hangu pass. Was he not afraid that the new Jiangdong army would suddenly march in and take Yanzhou, his old home, from which he had started his army?

Once Yanzhou was seized, Cao Cao, who had not much grain, would be in a state of food shortage. Yanzhou and Qingzhou were the granaries of Cao Cao. Before Qingzhou was captured, Cao Cao was deeply distressed. It's said that Cao Zhang, Cao Cao's favorite son, was called back by Cao Cao and beat 30 army clubs heavily. If Cao Zhang was not in good health, and the execution Sergeant knew that this was Cao Cao's son and intended to release water, Cao Zhang would have been killed.

At present, in Cao Cao's territory, only Yanzhou can produce more grain than it needs. In other places, only Yongzhou can produce a large amount of grain, but it can only supply Yongzhou's own army. So Yanzhou is too important for Cao Cao. If Yanzhou is captured, even if the Xuzhou army is really wiped out by Cao Cao, Cao Cao will not do this loss business. Therefore, it is absolutely impossible for Cao Cao to send the main forces defending Yuzhou to Qingzhou.After thinking about it, Cao Cao had no way to hurt the Xuzhou army. Even Guo Jia and Pang Tong, who were good at scheming, shook their heads. Chen Ren, sitting at the top of the table, frowned. In fact, after reading the intelligence, Chen Ren kept thinking about what the hell Cao Cao was up to. He would not believe that Cao Cao's planned assassination was aimless. The reason is very simple, because when Cheng Yu tried those detailed works the previous time, he found out a very important information, that is, the leader of the intelligence organization and assassin organization under Cao Cao is a person, Jia Xu!

Jia Xu, a poison man, can't help but think of the emaciated figure he saw in Chang'an at that time. Jia Xu's reputation is so loud in later generations. Many people even commented that Jia Xu should be the situation of the Three Kingdoms. Among all the counsellors of the Three Kingdoms, Jia Xu even surpassed Guo Jia, the most powerful counselor in the Three Kingdoms.

Since more than a decade ago, Chen Ren felt very uneasy when he learned that Jia Xu had become Cao Cao's military adviser. He once proposed to Cheng Yu that Jia Xu should be specially monitored and even assassinated when necessary. However, Cheng Yu did not follow his advice for a long time, but problems began to appear in the northern part of the snake department, and the plan to monitor Jia Xu was only run aground indefinitely. Later, when he learned that Jia Xu was the person in charge of the secret door set up for the snake ministry, Chen Rencai suddenly realized that it must be because of the snake department's surveillance on Jia Xu that Jia Xu realized the harm of the existence of the snake department to Cao Cao.

Now, the secret door has begun to assassinate Bao Bao, Chen Yang, Sun Yi and others. As the person in charge of the secret door, Jia Xu can't be unaware of Cao Cao's plan. If Jia Xu was checking on Cao Cao, the plan of Cao Cao would never be a plan with an end in the end, or a plan with a beginning but no end. It might even be that Jia Xu himself gave Cao Cao a plan! Although Chen Ren didn't know exactly what Cao Cao's plan was, because of Jia Xu's existence, Chen Ren could not but play a twelve point spirit to deal with it.

In Chen Ren's distracted effort, people in the study began to quarrel again. They all put forward their own conjectures, but they were immediately refuted by others. Chen Ren raised his head and looked at the people in his study and couldn't help laughing at himself. Just now he felt a bit sorry that he didn't invite Jia Xu to Dongwu. But look at the people in the study. Guo Jia, Zhou Yu, Xun Yu, Xun you, Zhuge Liang, Pang Tong, FA Zheng and Xu Shu are all top advisors who can take charge of their own affairs. With so many wise men in hand, what is not enough?

Sun CE on one side was worried about this. Seeing the quarrel below, sun CE didn't know whether he should be dissuaded. This is not to say that sun CE's character has become weak, because such a quarrel is not uncommon in his eyes. It turns out that when Sun Jian was in power, sun CE often saw such quarrels among these counsellors. A strategy conducive to the development of the eastern Wu Dynasty was gradually developed in this quarrel. Even in those years, sun CE had participated in such disputes many times.

Only when sun CE sat in Sun Jian's position did he realize how much this kind of quarrel was a headache for onlookers. It was hard for Sun Jian to take a nap in his seat when facing their quarrel. Now sun CE has no ability to fall asleep in such a big quarrel. Sun CE was in a hurry when he saw Chen Ren with a crooked corner of his mouth and a smile on his face. He was immediately overjoyed. Did his teacher think of a way? Sun CE has never doubted Chen Ren's ability.

Immediately, sun CE clapped his hands and stopped the people from arguing. Then he said to Chen Ren, "teacher, since you have already thought of something, why don't you tell us about it?"

"Ah?" Chen Ren raised his head, but he saw sun cezheng looking at himself expectantly, and then turned his head. On the other side, people were all staring at themselves, as if waiting for Chen Ren to say the strategy he had just thought of.
