The book is picked up again.

"Hahaha......"

After Cao Cao laughed for a while, he slowly stopped laughing and asked, "Fengxiao, now that we have captured Yuan Shao's command, how do you think Yuan Shao will react?" ”

"Yuan Shao's ......" Guo Jia pondered for a while, then replied: "Although Yuan Shao's power is huge now, it has a bit of a bluff.

Yuan Shao really had hundreds of thousands of troops in a very short period of time.

Although this can deter some people and increase his fame, his army is bound to be uneven, and the good and the bad are mixed!

Therefore, he will never dare to send troops to attack the lord in a short period of time!

Because he knows that the soldiers under the lord's command are all veterans of a hundred battles, and if he wants to defeat the lord, he must pay a great price!

And it is precisely because of this that he will provoke Zang Ba to wear down the strength of the lord. ”

"Hmm" Cao Cao nodded approvingly when he heard this, and said, "Then what?" Does he just ignore Xu You and Zhang He? ”

"It can't be!" After Guo Jia shook his head, he replied categorically: "Xu You is the first strategist under Yuan Shao, and Zhang He is Yuan Shao's henchman, Yuan Shao will definitely not ignore the two of them!"

Therefore, his subordinates guessed that after Yuan Shao knew that the two of them were captured by the lord, he would definitely use both soft and hard measures to force the lord to release the two of them! ”

After Cao Cao heard Guo Jia's words, his eyes lit up, and he asked eagerly: "How to use both soft and hard?" How persecution? ”

Guo Jia did not hesitate after hearing Cao Cao's inquiry, and replied: "According to the speculation of his subordinates, Yuan Shao is likely to bluff first and send tens of thousands of troops to the border of Xuzhou to intimidate the lord.

Then he sent a messenger to come, moving with affection, knowing with reason, using both soft and hard, coercion and temptation.

In the end, he personally wrote a letter to bind the lord with personal friendship, so that the lord had to let the two go! ”

"......" Cao Cao touched his chin and fell into deep thought.

After a while, he came back to his senses, nodded, looked at Guo Jia with admiration on his face and said, "Fengxiao is really powerful, and Yuan Benchu's character is not bad.

It is indeed very likely that he will use this kind of tactic to force a certain family to release Zhang He and Xu You. ”

After saying this, Cao Cao's words changed and asked, "Then Feng Xiao thinks I should let these two people go?" ”

"This ......" Guo Jia's face was full of hesitation after hearing this question, and he opened his mouth but didn't say anything, as if he had some concerns.

Cao Cao is a smart man, he looked at Guo Jia, who was full of hesitation, and after a little thought, he understood his concerns.

Then he patted Guo Jia on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Fengxiao, don't have any worries, just say what you have to say,

No matter what you say today, a certain family will not be angry, and we should be chatting. ”

"Okay!" After Guo Jia hesitated for a while, he sighed and said, "Now, the wisest thing for the lord to do is not only to put those two back, but also to curry favor with Yuan Shao in a low voice!" ”

"......" After hearing Guo Jia's words, Cao Cao clenched his fists suddenly, then let go again, and asked calmly, "Why do you have to do this?" Tell us your reasoning? ”

"Alas......" Looking at Cao Cao, who was angry and unwilling in his eyes, Guo Jia sighed and said, "Actually, the lord has already figured it out, hasn't he?"

Although Yuan Shao's army is uneven, his number is large!

If Yuan Shao is really determined to deal with us, then we are really not his opponent.

And once we fight with Yuan Shao, the other forces will inevitably fall into the ground.

At that time, Yuan Shao will not have to pay much to extinguish us at all! ”

After Cao Cao heard this, he clenched his fists again, gritted his teeth, and said word by word: "Keep talking!" ”

Guo Jia pursed his lips when he heard this, he knew that it was very difficult to wake up a person who was pretending to be asleep.

But now among Cao Cao's forces, others dare not break this matter, and he can only break it!

Because his brother is Li Zhi, even if he has to wake up Cao Cao's sweet dream, he will not be punished.

Therefore, the matter of waking up Cao Cao can only be done by him!

Then, Guo Jiayi gritted his teeth and continued: "And the most important thing for us now is to stabilize in Xuzhou first, and then find a way to capture Yanzhou.

Then, based on Yanzhou and Xuzhou, we will expand the foundation, train soldiers and horses diligently, and recruit talents, so as to achieve the cause of the emperor!

Therefore, now we should not have more rights and wrongs, we can only endure the anger of the moment, and lie under Yuan Shao, so that he has no reason to attack us.

After we take Yanzhou, we will make another plan depending on the situation. ”

After hearing this, Cao Cao couldn't help it, and interjected and asked, "Isn't it possible that after a certain family takes Yanzhou, can't you do it to Yuan Shao?!" ”

Originally, the relationship between Cao Cao and Yuan Shao was not bad, but now that he has not entered Xuzhou, he was blocked by Yuan Shao, so Cao Cao regarded Yuan Shao as the first enemy!

But after treating Yuan Shao as an enemy, Cao Cao found that he couldn't make a move against Yuan Shao at all, so how could he not be furious?!

This is Guo Jia, if others dare to say this, Cao Cao is afraid that he will beat him on the grounds of disturbing the morale of the army!

After Guo Jia heard Cao Cao's inquiry, he smiled bitterly, and said helplessly: "If Yuan Shao just keeps the current territory, after the lord takes Yanzhou, he can indeed do something to him."

but

Yes, after the lord takes Yanzhou, it is impossible to immediately change his power, and the lord needs time to digest Yanzhou.

This process may take a year or two, and in this period of two years, Yuan Shao will inevitably attack other states and counties, and at that time, his power may be even greater.

In this case, wouldn't it be self-defeating for me to do it to him again? ”

"Smack!" After Cao Cao heard Guo Jia's words, he slammed the horsewhip in his hand to the ground, and said with a face full of anger: "Then when will I wait before I can do anything to Yuan Shao?"

When I was developing, Yuan Shao was also developing, and because his power was greater than ours, the development speed was also faster than ours!

In this way, wouldn't a certain family never have a chance to catch up with Yuan Shao? ”

"Hehe......" Guo Jia heard this, and after picking up the horsewhip with a smile, he said: "The lord doesn't have to worry, his subordinates already have plans in their hearts." ”

"Oh?" After Cao Cao heard Fengxiao's words, his eyes lit up, and he hurriedly bowed, and said eagerly: "Please also ask Fengxiao for advice!" ”

"The lord must not do this!" Guo Jia saw Cao Cao's salute, his face changed, and he quickly helped him up, and said: "I am the minister of the lord in the future, and it is my duty to give advice to the lord, and the lord is like this, it is really a subordinate!" ”

When Cao Cao heard this, he didn't continue to salute, and after straightening up, he hurriedly asked, "Okay, don't talk about this nonsense, let's talk about your plan quickly." ”

"Hmm" Guo Jia nodded, and said: "The subordinate's strategy is very simple, to put it bluntly, it is only four words - poor soldiers and silent martial arts!" ”

"Poor soldiers?" After hearing these four words, Cao Cao's brows immediately furrowed, and he asked puzzledly: "Fengxiao, these four words are not good words, why did they become a second strategy?" ”

"Hehe......" Guo Jia chuckled and explained: "My subordinates learned a word from my brother - time difference.

The lord can first lie under Yuan Shao to buy time for himself and take Yanzhou and Xuzhou!

After taking Yanzhou and Xuzhou, he immediately gathered half of the young people in the two states and trained them into an army.

Then, use this army to attack Yuanshu or other prefectures. ”

"Wait a minute!" After Cao Cao heard this, his brows furrowed even tighter, and he immediately interrupted Guo Jia's words and asked, "What's the benefit of doing this?"

If a certain family really does what you want, it will be done with all the force, but isn't the power of a certain family also in a situation where it will break down at any time?! ”

"Haha......" Guo Jia laughed, "brushed", opened the folding fan, shook it a few times, and said confidently: "This is exactly the ingenuity of this strategy!" ”

After saying this, Guo Jia didn't continue to talk as if he was deliberately pinching, but took it off his waist and drank it deliciously after drinking.
