Return to the Three Kingdoms with the Empire System

Chapter 250 Qingzhou Countermeasures
Seeing Ye Mo's expression, Xu Shu knew that Ye Mo couldn't make up his mind.Xu Shu sighed inwardly. After all, Ye Mo's character was too kind, and he didn't have the qualifications of a hero.

Ye Mo himself knew that he had weaknesses in his character.He can calmly look at the tens of thousands of people who died on the battlefield, and he can come up with a plan to burn nearly ten thousand people for victory.However, he couldn't watch nearly a million people die of hunger with a cold eye, and the reason was because he cut off the traffic in Qingzhou.

"Sir, do you have a plan to make Cao Cao still obey the imperial court?" Since Ye Mo didn't want nearly a million people to suffer such unreasonable disasters, he asked Xu Shu, hoping that Xu Shu could come up with a perfect solution.

Xu Shu frowned when he heard Ye Mo's question.According to Xu Shu's understanding, Cao Cao wanted to stand on his own, because the nephew and uncle of the Xun family had been encouraging him at that time.But now, even without the uncles and nephews of the Xun family, Cao Cao's self-reliance is almost a foregone conclusion.

Although Cao Cao himself is quite loyal to the Han court, Cao Cao is not only responsible for himself now.Isn't Zhao Kuangyin, the great ancestor of the Song Dynasty, just because his subordinates were wearing yellow robes, so he could get on if he didn't?The current Cao Cao is almost in such a situation. It may be impossible for Cao Cao to continue to obey the court.

After thinking for half an hour, Xu Shu looked at Ye Mo and shook his head. "The arrow is on the string, and it has to be fired. This is the situation of Cao Cao today. Unless there is a large external force to interfere, it is absolutely impossible for Cao Cao to continue to obey the court's order."

"Sir, can you teach me?" Hearing that Xu Shu said that there was still a chance that Cao Cao could continue to obey orders from the court, Ye Mo immediately stood up and saluted Xu Shu.Ye Mo knew Cao Cao, he was loyal, and Ye Mo didn't want to be his enemy.More importantly, in Ye Mo's previous life, Cao Cao used iron fists against foreigners, which was also the reason why Ye Mo didn't want to be enemies with them.

The reason why there were incidents of Wu Huan Hua in the previous life was because all the talents and elites of China were lost in the civil war.So, what else does Huaxia have to resist foreign invasion?
Seeing Ye Mo salute to him, Xu Shu hurriedly hid.Xu Shu would never dare to accept Ye Mo's gift.If Xu Shousheng had accepted Ye Mo's gift, then Xu Shu would have become Ye Mo's man.

There is a saying that "the ruler chooses his ministers, and the ministers also choose his ruler", Ye Mo wanted to recruit Xu Shu, but Xu Shu didn't like Ye Mo.Xu Shu is also a kind-hearted person, but Xu Shu is also a counselor. Although he was a counselor who became a monk halfway, Xu Shu was still one of the top counselors in the Three Kingdoms period.

Xu Shu knew very well that if Qingzhou could not be blocked, then Cao Cao would definitely develop extremely fast.The Yellow Turban Army was in Qingzhou before. While eating a lot of food in Qingzhou, it also caused countless old and weak to die in that catastrophe.

what does that mean?This means that as long as Qingzhou gets a lot of food, it can develop rapidly.Because Qingzhou is basically young and strong now. Without any drag, no matter what you want to do, you can get a lot of labor, and there are very few people who just eat and don't do anything.

Ye Mo does not agree to blockade Qingzhou, that is to give Cao Cao a chance to develop.Xu Shu naturally looked down on Ye Mo showing such a woman's benevolence.

"Sir, what do you think if you hoard heavy troops in Pingyuan City?" Seeing that Xu Shu didn't accept his gift, Ye Mo was not annoyed, but asked Xu Shu to sit down, and then continued to ask.

When Xu Shu heard Ye Mo's words, he sneered in his heart.If Qingzhou is to be blocked, it is natural to hoard heavy troops from Nanpi, Pingyuan, Ganling, Luxian, Fenggao, Kaiyang and other cities.What's the use of hoarding heavy troops in Pingyuan City?

"Pingyuan is an important city at the junction of Qingzhou and Jizhou. Hoarding heavy troops in Pingyuan City can naturally block one of the roads for Qingzhou to communicate with the outside world." Since Xu Shu does not intend to recognize Ye Mo as the master at this time, he speaks casually up.

"If you don't block Qingzhou, but hoard heavy troops in Pingyuan City to deter Qingzhou, do you think this strategy is feasible?" Ye Mo also felt the change in Xu Shu's attitude, and he understood the reason after a little thought.Fortunately, Ye Mo also knew that Xu Shu was a top strategist, and he should have a personality at that time.

Xu Shu originally planned to listen to Ye Mo's "high opinion", but unexpectedly, Ye Mo would say such a thing.At the beginning, Xu Shu planned to continue to mock Ye Mo, but before he could say anything, Xu Shu suddenly thought of something.

Xu Shu didn't care about Ye Mo, but walked to Ye Mo's desk, and found a very accurate map on Ye Mo's desk.At this time, Xu Shu couldn't care where the map came from, he just looked at the location of Qingzhou, and then fixed his eyes on the point of Pingyuan City.

At this time, Xu Shu finally discovered a problem, which was the geographical location of Qingzhou.Qingzhou is near the sea, and it is easy to block Qingzhou on land, but it is difficult at sea.

But Pingyuan City is different. Pingyuan City is located on an important traffic road between Qingzhou and Jizhou.It can be said that it is to let Cao Cao develop. As long as he gathers heavy troops in Pingyuan City, Cao Cao will not be able to develop with peace of mind.Because, in Pingyuan City, you can go to Beihai or Linzi at any time.

"So, Xu was wrong in thinking earlier." Xu Shu shook his head and said to Ye Mo.After seeing the map on Ye Mo's desk, Xu Shu knew he was wrong.Xu Shu is also a magnanimous gentleman, if he makes a mistake, he will make a mistake, and he will never make excuses.

On the map on Ye Mo's desk, Xu Shu saw a shipyard, which is why Xu Shu knew he was wrong.That's right, Ye Mo ordered the construction of that shipyard, but in Qingzhou, who knows if Cao Cao will rival that shipyard?

Cao Cao has not moved the shipyard yet. One reason is that he is in the north, and his army is not familiar with water, so it is useless to hold the shipyard in his own hands.Secondly, Cao Cao does not realize the importance of having a navy now.The Great Han is a mainland nation, and the most fatal shortcoming of the mainland nation is that it does not realize the importance of mastering the initiative at sea.Thirdly, it is because people in this era are afraid of the sea.

Yes, fear.At this time, even if the big man has a navy, it is only in the river, and it will definitely not be on the sea.The endless sea is extremely mysterious and full of unknowns to people born on land.Some people even think that the sea was the abode of the gods at that time, who would dare to disturb the leisure of the gods?

However, Xu Shu knew that as long as the land was blocked, Cao Cao would definitely use that shipyard to open up a sea route.In this way, the blockade is nothing more than nonsense.

"Sir, how can we curb Cao Cao's development?" Since Xu Shu admitted his mistake, Ye Mo also sent him to stop talking about that topic.Cao Cao wants to develop, that's a certain thing at that time.So the question now is how to curb Cao Cao's development and let Cao Cao slow down or even stagnate his development.

Xu Shu really experienced too many things this day, and he couldn't digest them all at once, so he could only shake his head and said: "Before, Xu Shu thought that his ability in the world was inferior, and there was not much difference. Today I had a detailed discussion with Gui Yi, and I know that Xu has little talent and learning. If Gui Yi has a good opinion, Xu will listen to it." Xu Shuzhan stood up and made a deep bow to Ye Mo.

"Why does Yuan Zhi underestimate himself so much? Yuan Zhi's talent is rare in the world. It's not early today, why don't we eat together?" After Ye Mo helped Xu Shu up, he saw that the sky outside was already dark, and said.

Seeing that Ye Mo didn't say how to curb Cao Cao's development, Xu Shu felt anxious.But it was indeed getting late now, so Xu Shu couldn't hold Ye Mo back from eating, so he could only reply: "Then Xu would be more respectful than obedient."
