Even after his father died, Cao Cao was still thinking about the court and offering this plan.

Of course, according to Guo Jia's analysis, in fact, Cao Cao also has such a high consciousness. But only in this way can Liu Tao be persuaded to send troops and coerce Tao Qian. Xiahoudun and others were in the army, and they killed him with the army, so they could also help him vent.

Under normal circumstances, separated by Wei and Korea, and Cao Cao himself had no military power, so it was difficult to dispatch.

If Liu Chong and Liu Dai thought that Liu Tao was planning to attack them, then Cao Cao, and even several generals of the Xiahou and Cao clans, would have to be punished.

In turn, he took advantage of Cao Song's death to make Liu Tao angry for him, and used this as an excuse to send troops to Xuzhou. Passing by Wei and South Korea, under the pretext of letting the two countries send troops to fight together, and taking the opportunity to incorporate the armies of the two countries, this can be said to kill two birds with one stone.

"The summer harvest has only started in a month, and now that the expedition is going, it is estimated that Xun Yu has to complain......" Liu Tao sighed, Cao Cao's conspiracy was all moved in the end. It's just that the problem of military rations has not been solved, and the expansion of recruitment has not begun.

Maybe because of this operation, it is possible that the expansion will be delayed.

"This is easy to handle, our side only sent 2,000 troops, and in terms of military rations, we will hand it over to Wei and South Korea to provide, how about it?" Guo Jia proposed, "It only takes a month or two, and when the summer harvest comes, then many things can be solved." ”

With the national strength of the two countries, it is impossible to supply two or two thousand soldiers, and they can't provide it, right?

"Then it's really ......" Liu Tao nodded, this is indeed feasible. After a pause, he looked at Guo Jia and asked, "Then Fengxiao, where do you think Meng De's preset is probably going to hit?" ”

"The best thing is, of course, to slaughter Tao Qian, and by the way, to occupy Xuzhou. It's just that no matter Yuan Shu or Yuan Shao, they won't sit idly by. Even if there is a war, we are not afraid of them......" Guo Jia thought about it and replied.

Even if there is a full-scale war now, as long as you eat the enemy recklessly, then it is absolutely possible to defeat Jizhou and Youzhou. It's just that the post-war recovery, it is estimated that it will be so easy.

This is still both, under the premise that there is no means to effectively stop the imperial army from marching. Guo Jia was almost certain that all the princes in the world regarded Liu Tao as an imaginary enemy, and then thought about how to deal with a group of immortals in the face of an army that knew immortal arts.

Anyway, if he had changed it, he would definitely think like this. At the same time, during this time, in view of the particularity of the imperial army, Guo Jia had at least six to eight ways to crack it.

Among them, the most fatal problem of the imperial court at present is that the military is insufficient and cannot take care of so many battlefields. It's okay to fight out and drive the enemy away, but if you want to expand your territory, then the soldiers will be scattered, and others will deliberately give up the area, and then wait for the scattering to fight back, then the problem will be very serious.

The second is the shortage of officials, and the last is the shortage of material supplies, which are big problems as long as they are used well.

"After weighing it up, defeating Peijun is the best result." Guo Jia finally came to a conclusion.

"Peijun was originally the territory of Yuzhou, because King Pei was supported by Tao Qian, so it belonged to Xuzhou by default." Liu Tao whispered in a low voice, at present, Tao Qian is only the prime minister of Xu Han, not the monarch.

But you have to force Liu Yao to let Tao Qian out...... It is estimated that it is a little difficult, after all, Liu Yao himself is just a puppet emperor. It's just that Tao Qian is too old, and he himself has no idea of usurping the throne, mainly because of his two sons, who are not successful.

Maybe it's too merciful, or maybe it's not talented, and letting them get on top is nothing more than harming them.

In history, Tao Qian was able to give Xuzhou to Liu Bei, so the world would naturally not usurp Liu Yao's position. It is very likely that Xuzhou will become a game between the Chen family and the Cao family, and the Mi family is caught in the middle.

"This ......" Liu Tao made a decision, "force Emperor Xu Han to abdicate, re-become King Xu, and proclaim himself a vassal to the court, what do you think of this?" ”

"That's probably the best!" Guo Jia nodded immediately, mainly because this is very feasible, "It's just that some additional conditions are needed, so that Cao Cao can vent his anger." ”

"You can't really kill Tao Qian, or Tao Qian's family, right?" Liu Tao shook his head, "At most, let Tao Qian resign from his position and go to guard Cao Song's tomb." Two sons, sent to Jinyang to study, how about it? ”

"Cao Tingshi is not a reckless person, and this condition should satisfy him." Guo Jia thought about it and nodded back.

After that, I found Xun Yu and explained my thoughts to him in detail.

The latter was slightly relieved to hear that only 2,000 troops had been sent. So when he heard that he planned to let Korea and Wei produce grain in the early stage, he added: "Your Majesty, the grain in the treasury can fully support two thousand soldiers and horses, at least about three months." Since we want to take over the military and political affairs of the two countries by the way, we must always show sufficient sincerity. ”

"Oh, there's food......" Liu Tao was a little surprised, when did some food come out again?

Where else could it be, it's not the batch that I bought from Zhen's side!

Anyway, Liu Tao is scheduled to recruit about 25,000 new soldiers, and with so much extra food, it can completely supply 2,000 soldiers to go out for a few months. When the summer harvest is completed, I will have to buy a batch from the Zhen family one after another.

Anyway, Xun Yu would never let Liu Tao know how much grain and grass could be dispatched in the treasury. It's not a deliberate concealment, or something unseemly, and if you don't, it doesn't feel like enough food is enough for him.

Liu Tao is the emperor, whatever he wants. As a household servant, he has to wipe his ass behind his back.

If he doesn't know that firewood and rice are expensive, he does this, Wang Yun, and even Jinyiwei know it, but everyone tacitly agrees not to say it. Knowing that Xun Yu is working hard, it is really difficult to blame him for this problem.

"There is not much food, and some can still be squeezed out." Xun Yu hurriedly replied, I really can't let go, otherwise, this guy doesn't know how many soldiers to send and how large-scale the battle will be, don't just completely defeat Xuzhou, right?

But I can't help it! If you want to use troops externally, and you have to let the vassal vassal king provide supplies, what should you do if you are underestimated by others? In order to maintain the dignity of the imperial court, he can only do this, who knows that just now, this person almost has to have new ideas again!

"Oh, don't be too forced." Liu Tao believed it, so he nodded and said a word of relief.

Guo Jia obviously saw through Xun Yu's flaws, but just smiled and didn't expose them. It is certain that if he dares to expose it, his fate will definitely not be much better. The best result is to apply to go to the front line and be a military advisor for Guan Yu.

Otherwise, at least one layer of skin should be removed...... Since Xun Yu became this household servant, he felt that it had become more and more terrifying.

"The soldiers and horses who went out on the expedition, Guan Yu was the main one, and Xiahou Tang and Xu Huang were the deputies, so it's almost the same." Liu Tao thought for a while, "Two thousand people, mainly foot soldiers, five hundred cavalry and archers, but equipped with horses for transportation. ”

He likes more mobile troops, so that anything can be rushed immediately. At the same time, he also has enough stamina, even if he encounters an enemy on the way, he can immediately dismount and fight.

Of course, Xun Yu has no problem, anyway, don't exceed 2,000 soldiers, in terms of heavy soldiers, everything is easy to say......
