"Fengxiao, when do you want to use soldiers."

"The sooner the better, the Han Emperor is still alive, and Yuan Shuzhong's clan is now a thief, and everyone shouts and beats him. The lord should use this great righteousness to summon the princes of the world to quell the rebellion and correct the dynasty. ”

Guo Jia hugged his fists and said, he knew in his heart that Yuan Shu could not stay for a long time, at least let the world see his attitude, otherwise Emperor Han would be useless.

"But ......" Cao Cao frowned and hesitated,

"The lord is worried about Zhang Xiu?" Guo Jiatry asked.

Cao Cao didn't say much, but his face was solemn, obviously he was worried about Zhang Xiu.

"Lord, Zhang Xiu has already gained momentum, and it is difficult to calm down in a short time. What's more, our army is newly defeated, and it will be in vain to consume it no matter how much it is consumed.

And Yuan Shaohu is located in several states in Hebei, and after he obtains Youzhou, he will inevitably swallow the Central Plains. Jia asserted that the short is three years, and the slow is five years, and the lord and Yuan Shao must have a battle of life and death, and the lord should prepare as soon as possible. ”

Guo Jia changed his previous bohemian and uninhibited expression, and his expression was full of seriousness.

"Then what do you think of the moment?"

Jia thought that the lord should make peace with Zhang Xiu at the moment and become a good friend of Qin and Jin.

Then Xingwang Shi, leveling Yuan Shu, destroying Lu Bu, entrenching in the Central Plains, and training generals, only in this way can it be possible to fight with Yuan Shao. ”

Guo Jia said with a serious expression.

"Strike the army and make peace? Now that Zhang Xiu has won a new victory, how can he easily stop the army and make peace? Cao Cao knew, but said, but he needed someone to break it.

"If he is still that Xiliang reckless man, he will naturally not retreat. But this man is thoughtful and ambitious, and he knows the advantages of an alliance with the lord. ”

"Otherwise, the two tigers will fight each other, and both will lose. This is definitely not what Zhang Xiu or the lord wants to see. What's more, Zhang Xiu never wanted to face Yuan Shao alone. ”

The corners of Guo Jia's mouth hooked up with a touch of confidence.

Cao Cao closed his eyes and pondered, he was thinking about the pros and cons.

"Lord, your relationship with that embroidery is like that between Liu Bei and Lu Bu. The two of them are horns of each other and fight against the lord together. And the lord and Zhang Xiu are also cold-lipped, but they have hidden evil intentions. ”

"However, the current situation has forced the lord and Zhang Xiu to form an alliance, because the lord and Zhang Xiu can't tell the winner in a short time, but they are both in the hinterland of the other party,"

"Only by abandoning the past suspicions and not beware of each other, in this way, the lord can seize Xuzhou and Jiujiang without worries. And Zhang Xiu took Jingzhou, which was a win-win move. ”

Guo Jia explained with confidence in his eyebrows.

After a long time, Cao Cao breathed a sigh of relief and said in a deep voice: "Okay, just rely on filial piety, and first deal with Zhang Xiuxu and the snake, and wait for him to calm Yuan Shu and destroy Lu Bu, I will destroy him." ”

Guo Jia shook his head and chuckled, but did not answer.

"Send a letter to Xun Yu and ask him to immediately write a letter to the thief, Yuan Shu has already been called the emperor, and he must not let it go. Also, Cao Xi has passed the age of Lu, so let her prepare for marriage. ”

"In addition, Xiahou Yuan is the general of the unified army, preparing the three armies, Xun Yu is the commander of the grain transportation capital, coordinating the three armies, and Xun Yu is temporarily appointed as the Shangshu Order, and he is in the middle."

Cao Cao said in a cold voice.

Cao Chun, Cao Xiu all died with Zhang Xiushou, if it weren't for the overall situation, he couldn't have been wronged.

"No!" Guo Jia clenched his fists and nodded.

His remarks were also recounted after thinking about it for a long time, without him, because Zhang Xiu is not a soft persimmon that is still in the hands of others. Only in this way can Cao Cao gain a firm foothold in the Central Plains.

…………

Jingzhou, Xiangyang.

In the general house, all the civil and military gathered.

Liu Biao took the brocade cloth in his hand, and said with a flustered expression: "Ladies and gentlemen, Cai Mao sent back a letter from Fancheng saying that Cao Cao was defeated and fled, and his troops were defeated. ”

"Now Zhang Xiu leads the victorious army to the north, and wants to fight Cao Cao to the death, if he defeats Cao Cao, what should I do if I turn around and attack?"

"Cao Cao defeated?"

All the civil and military exclaimed in unison, their expressions were full of disbelief, after all, Cao Cao was the overlord of the Central Plains, defeating Yuan Shu, attacking Tao Qian, chasing Lu Bu, etc., all of which were feats.

But Cao Cao actually lost to Zhang Xiu?

It's a fantasy.

But when they thought of Zhang Xiu's attack, they lowered their heads one by one and fell into contemplation, looking at their appearance, they were not good birds, if Liu Biaozhen and Zhang Xiu competed, then they had to find a way back.

Of course, the premise is that Zhang Xiu will not treat them badly.

"Lord, Zhang Xiu's soldiers are brave and brave, and it is really difficult to defeat them. His subordinates thought that the Han River could be used as a barrier to stick to the Han River, but Zhang Xiu had no water division, so Zhang Xiu had no possibility of crossing the river. ”

"Lord, my subordinates think that our army is to exterminate the water bandits this time, and the lord can send someone to send gifts to congratulate Zhang Xiu on his victory, so how can he turn his face?"

"Hmph, ridiculous, ridiculous."

"I have nearly 100,000 elite soldiers in Jingzhou and hundreds of generals, but I was frightened by just one Zhang Xiu, which is really ridiculous, and it is ridiculous to slip the world."

Deng Yi stood out proudly and snorted coldly.

"Deng Yi, you are just a scribe, how can you understand the truth of the battlefield? If the conquest is just a comparison of money and food, and soldiers, then Yuan Shao of Hebei is not the co-lord of the world? ”

"That is, just a corrupt Confucian, and dare to talk about big things. Zhang Xiu belonged to the lord and the vassal, and it was common to congratulate one or two, but in your eyes, it was terrifying and ridiculous. ”

For a while, all the generals in the palace blushed and had thick necks, and they questioned one after another.

Are they afraid of death? Don't they want to fight?

Well, really, isn't it delicious to be a general? How bloody it is to go to the battlefield to fight, and you can still be killed, where is it more comfortable than sleeping on the belly of a sleeping woman.

"Deng Yi, you don't know about military affairs, don't talk nonsense." Liu Biao also didn't want to fight, he wanted to value peace from the beginning, after all, he didn't want to dominate the world.

Guarding one's own one-third of an acre, is it uncomfortable to be a soil emperor? Why do you have to fight to the death?

"My lord, at the moment, we should order Cai Mao's strong army to attack Xinye, take advantage of Zhang Xiu's unpreparedness to defeat it in one fell swoop, subdue Nanyang, and capture Xuchang, it is definitely not a matter of sitting back and watching success or failure!"

"Otherwise, when Zhang Xiu recovers, he will definitely fight with the lord, and hope that the lord will ......"

"Enough!" Liu Biao shook his sleeves and was angry.

"If you have nothing else to do, go down!"

Deng Yi was stunned, and then he smiled, laughed at himself, and shook his head to show helplessness.

He strode out of the house, and at the same time raised his head and shouted: "It's sad, it's a pity, there are so many mediocre lords in the world, and there are so many mediocre ministers around him." Zhang Xiu'er, the sky helps you! ”

"Lord, Deng Yi insulted you, I will kill him." One of the generals said slightly angrily.

"No need, let him go."

Liu Biao's face was gloomy and he waved his hand.

"Zhang Xiu originally belonged to my department, but I listened to slander and almost made a big mistake, which should not be. I will, recall Cai Mao, and Zhang Xiu will return to the old good, what do you think? ”

"Lord Mingjian!"

Everyone bowed their heads.

"In this case, the order, Cai Mao will be the teacher on the same day, and send someone to send 50,000 stones of grain and grass and 3,000 horses of silk to Xinye, and congratulate Zhang Xiu on my behalf."

Liu Biao said in a deep voice.

Obviously, he still coaxed.

As for the military under his command, it is best for them not to fight, because fighting is not beneficial to them at all, but all disadvantages are disadvantages.
