"Mengde, do you really not remember what happened at that time?" Xiahoudun asked.

"Well, all I can think of is what happened after Zilian came to save me." Even Cao Cao himself, when he mentioned the situation at that time, he couldn't tell what was going on, and he was able to kill himself from the encirclement of a group of pursuers.

Xiahoudun didn't want to ask any more, anyway, as long as Cao Cao was fine.

"Okay, let's let Meng De have a good rest, don't disturb him anymore." Seeing that Cao Cao's injuries were fine, Xiahoudun instructed everyone to leave.

"Fengxiao, Yuan Rang, you two stay." At this time, Cao Cao said to Xiahoudun and Guo Jia.

Xiahoudun glanced at everyone and motioned for them to go first, so Cao Cao's room left only Xiahoudun and Guo Jia.

"Mengde, say it." Xiahoudun also expected that Cao Cao would discuss important matters with them, so he waited for his instructions.

The corners of Cao Cao's mouth rose, revealing a hint of a smile, and said to the two of them: "Yuan Rang, Fengxiao, let's get straight to the point, now the time is ripe, it's time to take action." ”

Guo Jia stood aside and did not express his opinion, while Xiahoudun said: "Well, we have indeed been preparing for a long time, Meng De, you say, what should we do?" ”

Cao Cao looked at Guo Jia and asked, "Fengxiao, why don't you speak?" ”

Guo Jia came back to his senses at this time and found that Cao Cao and Xiahoudun were looking at him, so he smiled and said, "I'm sorry, I was distracted just now, what do you want to ask?" ”

Xiahoudun complained: "Fengxiao, when is this happening, are you still in the mood to think nonsense?" ”

Cao Cao suddenly laughed and said, "It's really worthy of Guo Fengxiao, it seems that nothing can make you nervous." ”

Guo Jia smiled and said, "That's not it, it's just that Hebei shouldn't be able to care about us at this time, so the lord can show his strength." ”

Cao Cao was stunned for a moment and asked, "Why is Fengxiao so sure?" ”

Guo Jia smiled, and then took out a letter from his sleeve, this is a secret letter from Hebei, needless to say, it must have been sent by Linxian Tower.

Cao Cao glanced at Guo Jia, then hurriedly took out the letter inside and unfolded it.

Cao Cao glanced at the contents of the letter, and suddenly laughed and said: "No wonder Fengxiao is absent-minded, it turns out that you have already flown to Hebei!" ”

Xiahoudun looked dazed, not knowing what Cao Cao meant?

I saw Cao Cao hand over the letter to Xiahoudun and let him read it for himself, Xiahoudun picked up the letter suspiciously, it turned out that the letter said that the Hebei form is now tense, and the war between Yuan Shao and Gongsun Chan can be described as imminent.

After reading the letter, Xiahoudun understood why Guo Jia said that there was no time to look south in Hebei, it turned out that it was because Yuan Shao had met such a strong opponent as Gongsun Zhan!

Guo Jia said with a little regret: "It's a pity that the Black Mountain Army has just been broken by Yuan Shao, otherwise, the lord will have more time to expand his military strength." ”

Cao Cao said with a smile: "It's enough to have Gongsun Zan to contain Yuan Shao, he rarely meets opponents in the north, and this time he clashes with Yuan Shao, it can really be described as an opponent in chess!" ”

Xiahoudun said: "Meng De, no matter who wins these two in the end, they will be our strongest enemies in the future, and we have to hurry up to strengthen our strength!" ”

Guo Jia said: "General Yuan Rang is right, although Gongsun Chan is brave, he can't support it for a few years, and the lord should make a big plan early." ”

Xiahoudun felt strange, he obviously said that the outcome between Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zhan was unpredictable, and he didn't say that Yuan Shao would definitely win, why did Guo Jia misunderstand his words?

So Xiahoudun said: "I heard that the white horse under the command of Gongsun Chan is very good, even the Huns in the north respect it like a god, and dare not let the horse go south, although Yuan Shao is powerful, but in terms of the elite of the army, it is not as good as Gongsun Zhan's cavalry, right?" ”

Guo Jia said with a smile: "General Yuan Rang is not bad at all, it is precisely because Gongsun Zan is brave and good at fighting, and there is a white horse to follow, I judge that he can contain Yuan Shao for several years, if it is not for such a strong opponent, I am afraid that we will now face the riverside pressure of the Hebei division." ”

Xiahoudun said disdainfully: "Why does the military advisor grow the ambition of others and destroy his own prestige? I think that although Yuan Shao has a large number of soldiers, he may not be Gongsun Zhan's opponent, even if he can win by luck, it will take about ten years to win, and at that time, Yuan Shao will inevitably be greatly injured, and we will take the opportunity to enter again, and we will definitely be able to defeat them! ”

After Guo Jia heard this, he smiled but did not say anything.

Cao Cao said: "Yuan Rang, it is a good thing to have self-confidence, but you can't be arrogant, now the gap in strength between us and Yuan Shao is still very large, and it is urgent to expand the combat power, so Gongsun Zan can win against Yuan Shao is good, if you can't win, it is also in our expectation, the battle is not a matter of willfulness and ruthlessness to win, but by strategy, among our army, I want to say that the most familiar with Yuan Shao's situation, except for Wen Ruo, is Fengxiao, and for the judgment of Hebei form, the opinions of the two of them are the same, That is, Yuan Shao will win, and Gongsun Zan will lose, it's just a matter of time. ”

Hearing Cao Cao say this, Xiahoudun couldn't argue anymore, originally he was just unconvinced by Yuan Shao, and he definitely didn't believe Guo Jia's judgment.

Cao Cao asked Guo Jia again: "Since we have all talked about this, then Fengxiao, what should we do next?" ”

Guo Jia laughed and said, "Lord, the top priority should be to take care of your body first, if they should also arrive in a few days, why not ask their opinions when the time comes?" ”

Cao Cao smiled: "You, Guo Fengxiao, always like to sell guanzi, that's good, just wait for Wen Ruo and them to come, let's discuss it together!" ”

After speaking, Xiahoudun and Guo Jia said goodbye to Cao Cao and left the room.

On the way back, Xiahoudun asked Guo Jia: "Fengxiao, Meng De has asked you several times what you should do in the future, why have you been unwilling to say what you think?" ”

Guo Jia smiled and replied: "General Yuan Rang, what is there to say about this, the situation in Hebei has been temporarily stabilized, and the next thing, no matter what the lord plans, we are the side with more chances of winning, General Yuan Rang only needs to be ready to make meritorious contributions." ”

Xiahoudun was taken aback, it turned out that Guo Jia had already deployed the strategy, just waiting for them to act, if Guo Jia hadn't said it so clearly, he was still in the dark until now, Xiahoudun had to admit that his eyes could only see the scene in front of him, and Guo Jia's vision had already looked to the future, no wonder he was always absent-minded, it turned out that he had been looking into the distance, and he had turned a blind eye to the scenery under his feet.
