Chapter 450

"This..."

Cao Cao frowned slightly, thought earnestly for a while, and then nodded affirmatively: "I must admit, Boyuan, you have great foresight, and what you say makes a lot of sense!"

"However, to achieve this, one must inevitably clash with the gentry and powerful clans. By then, it will be very difficult to control your own territory, and you will have no one to use;"

"How will you deal with that then?"

In any case, he couldn't think of a good solution for the time being.

And he didn't want to think about it right now.

His next consideration was to win over a group of gentry and powerful clans to support him and carve out a suitable territory.

He was not like Su Xuan, who, at such a young age, had already conquered nearly the entire Jingzhou.

That territory made even him green with envy!

Is this what they call a winner in life?

His humble background didn't seem to have affected his rise at all, which was simply enviable and hateful.

"My damn status as a descendant of a eunuch is truly a pitfall! It's not even as good as Su Xuan's background!"

Cao Cao couldn't help but complain in his heart.

Of course, he also knew that his complaint was unreasonable.

If he didn't have this status and were in Su Xuan's position, he would absolutely never have reached where Su Xuan was today.

Su Xuan's growth path was not replicable.

At the very least, he didn't think that if he were in Su Xuan's shoes, he could achieve what Su Xuan had today.

Precisely because of this, he admired Su Xuan.

"This is unavoidable!"

Su Xuan also shook his head helplessly: "Therefore, I can only try my best to win over those willing to follow me, using other benefits as exchange to gain the support of more gentry and powerful clans!"
