Liu Bei was uncomfortable in Jizhou and wanted to cry, and Cao Cao was no better.

Cao Cao originally issued an order to Xiahoudun and Xiahouyuan to keep Puyang, as long as he held this city, then even if the rest of Yanzhou was taken away by Liu Yu, he could still take it back.

Who knew that Xiahoudun was extremely ambitious, and used a strategy that was unguardable, and calculated Liu Yu, but he succeeded by just a little bit.

That's right, it's just a little bit worse. Cao Cao received Xiahoudun's battle report, and he was almost about to vomit blood.

If it weren't for Xiahoudun and Xiahouyuan going to Rencheng County and Shanyang County respectively to organize troops to defend and avoid the deterioration of the situation in Yanzhou, Cao Cao would have wanted to cut them both down.

If the city is lost, it can be regained. Cao Cao was most worried about the movements of the clans in Yanzhou, if they took refuge in Liu Yu, then Liu Yu would be able to quickly stabilize the situation, and it would be even more difficult for Cao Cao to regain the rule of Yanzhou.

When the various families in Yanzhou threw themselves into Liu Yu's arms under the leadership of the Chen family, Cao Cao began to scold his mother.

Cao Cao scolded these families for not being a good thing, when the Qingzhou Yellow Turban ravaged Yanzhou, the predecessor Yanzhou assassin Liu Dai died in battle, all forces sat and watched the Yanzhou chaos, seeing that Yanzhou was wiped out by the Yellow Turban, it was Cao Cao who stood up for this family to resist the invasion of the Yellow Turban, and finally broke the Yellow Turban, reversed the situation, and let these families save their lives.

Now, when these families saw that Liu Yu was strong, they threw themselves at Liu Yu without hesitation, and according to the intelligence, they also provided a lot of manpower, material resources, grain and grass, making it clear that they didn't want Cao Cao to return to Yanzhou.

Cao Cao was so angry that he scolded: "These wall grasses are really bastards." Lone should have ignored it back then, and let them be destroyed by the yellow scarf. ”

The people under Cao Cao's command all know who Cao Cao is scolding, you must know that Cao Cao is also from Yanzhou, and it is normal for him to feel uncomfortable when he was betrayed by his hometown.

After scolding, Cao Cao looked at his henchmen and said: "Our army has been confronting Ma Chao Pang De here for a long time, and there has been no progress for many days. If this continues, Lone will only be defeated. ”

"I'm incompetent, please punish the Lord." Cao Cao's henchmen all knelt down and pleaded guilty.

Cheng Yu, who has the intelligence of Cao Jun, said: "My lord, although the enemy army is said to be Ma Chao as the commander and Pang De as the deputy, it is Jia Xu who really controls the power of the military aircraft. This person used vicious tactics, and our army failed to attack many times, all because of this person. ”

"Who is this Jia Xu!? Our army has been fighting against it for a long time, why do we know now! Cao Cao was a little annoyed that his intelligence work was not doing well.

Xun You explained: "Jia Xu Jia Wenhe, born in Xiliang, originally served in Dong Zhuo's army, when Liu Yu attacked Guanzhong, it was he who helped Zhang Ji unite the armies of Xiliang to resist Liu Yu. Later, Liu Yu broke through the Xiliang army and dominated Guanzhong. Jia Xu saw the opportunity and transferred to Wancheng with Zhang Ji and others. After Zhang Ji's death, Jia Xu assisted Zhang Ji's nephew Zhang Xiu and entrenched himself in Wancheng. After Liu Yu broke through Wancheng, he was put into Liu Yu's command. Because this person is too low-key, our army has only recently investigated his information. ”

Xun You explained for Cheng Yu, and Cao Cao could understand it, and said: "In the future, the intelligence work will be strengthened, and even if there is anyone around Liu Yu in the future, Gu must be investigated clearly." ”

Cheng Yu nodded yes.

Guo Jia walked out and said: "Liu Yu's advisor Chen Gong is a member of the Chen family in Yanzhou, and he is constantly recruiting troops and buying horses in Chenliu, and constantly helping Ma Chao and them replenish their troops. Although our army is fighting on the ground, its strength has been weakening, so I suggested that the lord give orders to all the families under his rule to provide them with food, grass and troops. ”

Cao Cao said coldly: "What Feng Xiao said is very reasonable. It's time for these families to help. Pass the order, all families must contribute to the country, if there is disobedience and disobedience, it will be the same crime as the traitor, and the family will be wiped out! ”

"The lord is wise!" Guo Jia admires such a domineering Cao Cao.

"Alas, now that Liu Yu has stabilized the newly captured city, it is difficult to recapture it." Cao Cao still sighed.

Guo Jia said with a smile: "My lord, it is difficult to recapture the city captured by Liu Yu. But it's still okay to disrupt Liu Yu's position. Although Liu Yu stabilized the situation, most of his logistics supplies needed to be deployed from Luoyang along the Yellow River to Chenliu, and then dispersed to all parts of Yanzhou. As long as the lord sent a few teams to destroy Liu Yu's grain depot and other facilities, and poison the water source where Liu Yu's army was located. At the same time, you can also kill some of the wall grass that betrayed the lord. With such a multi-pronged approach, Liu Yu can't do it if he wants to. ”

Others didn't expect Guo Jia to use such a method, which was a bit shameless. It's just that Liu Yu also dealt with Cao Cao in this way at the beginning, and it can be said that he used his own way to govern others.

Cao Cao pondered for a while and said, "Can it be done?" ”

"To realize this strategy, a group of people who dare to die are needed, and the leaders need to be familiar with the situation in various places. So there is an 80% chance of winning. "Guo Jia is very confident.

"Who wants to take on this task?!" Cao Cao asked.

"The last will go!" A military general stepped forward.

Cao Cao saw that this was a general he promoted in the Yellow Turban, named Yu Forbidden Character Gongzhi, who was strong in martial arts and strict in governing the army, which was quite appreciated by Cao Cao.

Cao Cao was very confident in the ban, and said: "Since this is the case, there will be a public rule to lead the army, and Fengxiao will be fully responsible." ”

"The last general is guaranteed to complete the mission!" Yu Banli is standing upright.

Cao Cao asked Guo Jia again: "Although he can mess up his position, Liu Yu is not an ordinary person, and this time it may not be a big result, and it is difficult to shake Liu Yu's power." ”

"Don't worry, lord. Liu Yu spent a lot of effort to stop the lord from entering Yanzhou, because he knew that once the lord entered Yanzhou, his advantage would be lost. The lord can order Yuan Rang and General Miaocai to hold Shanyang and Rencheng tightly, not to act recklessly, blocking Liu Yu's march route. At the same time, he asked Xuzhou Assassin Shi Chen Deng to mobilize troops and horses to support. The lord can't waste time with Ma Chao here, but can move to Xiangyi and recapture the city, and Liu Yu's forces in Yanzhou will be cut into two pieces by our army, and divided into two. In order to prevent Liu Yu from encircling Wei to rescue Zhao and attack Xuchang, let Wen Ruo set up layers of defense in Xuchang, and sent General Cao Hong to lead an army of 10,000 to threaten Chen Liu, Ma Chao definitely did not dare to act rashly. In this way, the lord can attack Chen Liu to the west, and Liu Yu can be flanked by the two Xiahou generals to the east. Guo Jia explained the whole strategy in detail.

Cheng Yu asked: "Fengxiao, the importance of Xiangyi must be known to Liu Yu, and it may not be easy for our army to recapture it." ”

"The two Xiahou generals were attacked by water in Xiangyi, and Liu Yu must have thought that our army would not make the same mistake in the same place. Now he is taking advantage of Liu Yu's carelessness to reverse the situation in one fell swoop. Guo Jia said.

Guo Jia's meaning was very clear and persuaded Cao Cao. Cao Cao felt that he had a great chance of success, and ordered: "The whole army will follow Fengxiao's words." ”

"Yes, my lord."
