Cao Cao, who was far away in Shouchun, had been inquiring about Liu Bei's news, and after he watched Liu Bei enter Jingzhou, he felt that Liu Bei would definitely be squeezed out by the local forces in Jingzhou, and in the end he couldn't get anything, so he could only guard the door for Liu Biao.

And that's exactly what happened.

After Cao Cao learned that Liu Bei was sent by Liu Biao to be stationed in Xinye, he looked up to the sky and laughed: "Big-eared thief, you are the fate of the watchdog." This is the case on Lone's side, and it is also true on Liu Jingsheng's side. That's all you have for the rest of your life. ”

Cheng Yu came out and said: "My lord, I inquired and learned that Jingzhou is not peaceful now. Liu Jingsheng seems to be seriously ill, I'm afraid that Liu Bei will fish in troubled waters, but Tao Gongzu's affairs are vivid. ”

Cao Cao said disapprenousively: "Zhongde, you can rest assured about this." The reason why Liu Bei was able to get Xuzhou back then was because he received the support and refuge of the Xuzhou family, and Tao Qian insisted that Liu Bei inherit Xuzhou before he died for the sake of his children and grandchildren. Now Liu Bei is no longer the same as before. Cai Deqi will not let Liu Bei develop in Jingzhou, and Liu Jingsheng is not so weak on the surface, but ruthless in his heart. Gu felt that Liu Jingsheng was most likely faking illness in order to pave the way for his son's future succession. ”

"The lord is wise!" Cheng Yu was persuaded by Cao Cao.

Guo Jia said slowly: "Lord, there are also restless people in Jingzhou." ”

Cao Cao instantly understood, but he was very confident, and said: "Even if someone supports Liu Bei, what can Liu Bei do?" Jiangdong's Sun Ce has been staring at Jingzhou, and if Liu Bei wants to get Jingzhou, I'm afraid it won't be so easy. Liu Bei is a defeated general under Lone, and it is easy for Lone to destroy him! ”

The corners of Guo Jia's mouth twitched, he wanted to say Lord, you can kill Liu Bei, but every time he will escape.

Guo Jia admires Liu Bei very much in his heart, a shabby seller of straw sandals, who has not fallen all the way from the Yellow Turban Rebellion, and can get up again after many failures, he is simply a cockroach that cannot be killed. If it weren't for his bad luck, Liu Bei might be able to share with Cao Cao today.

But there are not so many ifs.

"Lord, Liu Bei is a minor illness, and now his henchmen are in serious trouble, but Liu Boxuan's strategy for Yanzhou." Xun Yu hurriedly diverted the topic, and the focus of today's discussion was Liu Yu's attack on Yanzhou.

Cao Cao knew who his main enemy was now, and asked, "What do Yuan Rang, Miaocai and others have to report?" ”

According to General Yuan Rang's report, the battle in Yanzhou was due to Liu Boxuan's birthday, and the attack of the enemy's army stopped, and at the same time, the Bingzhou wolf cavalry led by Lu Bu also retreated under the defense of General Miaocai, and now they are missing. General Zilian guarded Xiaopei, defeated the attacks of Guan Yu and Zhao Yun many times, and firmly held the eastern barrier of Yanzhou. The various departments of our army in Yanzhou were seizing the time to repair and build fortifications, but the problem of troops and food and grass began to come to the fore, and General Yuan Rang asked the lord for reinforcements. Cheng Yu talked about the situation in Yanzhou one by one.

"Liu Boxuan's birthday is to use this incident to boost morale and restore the physical strength of the soldiers, otherwise it would be strange that he can be so extravagant with his virtue of slamming the door." Cao Cao said jokingly.

"Lord, Liu Boxuan will definitely increase the attack on Yanzhou, our army's strength and grain and grass are stretched, if you don't want to come up with a good strategy, I'm afraid Yanzhou will not be protected." Cheng Yu is still concerned about the issue of grain, grass and troops.

Cao Cao was in a dilemma all of a sudden, and the current situation was really unfavorable to him. The attack and defense with Liu Yu in Yanzhou before almost lost Cao Cao's family money, and now it is really difficult for him to come up with excess troops and grain and grass.

Unable to think of a way, there were still a lot of capable and wise people here, Cao Cao asked his group of advisers, "Everyone, do you have a good plan?" ”

"There may be grain in the midst of the people, but can it be levied from them?" Xun You proposed.

"No, now that the green and yellow are not harvested, the people will live on that little grain stockpile, and if it is levied, it will be reversed. It will give others a chance to take advantage of! Xun Yu objected immediately.

Xun You was refuted by his cousin, and he didn't know what to say next.

Xun Yu glared at him viciously, now mentioning this idea, do you want Cao Cao to perish!

Cao Cao also had a dignified face, and levied more from the people, which was a matter of breaking the foundation, if the people rebelled, Liu Yu would attack with all his strength without being reminded by others.

"My lord, there is not much food left in the treasury. Maybe you can levy some from the family. Is there a problem with soldiers? These powerful families have their own private soldiers, just let them provide them! Guo Jia smiled and suggested another solution.

Cao Cao's eyes lit up, yes, the people are poor, but this family is so rich that they are rich.

"I'm afraid that those people will die and ask for money, so I won't want to." Cheng Yu sneered.

"No, yes. We can persuade each other with good words, move with affection, and know with reason. Guo Jia continued.

Cao Cao rubbed his eyes, this is the Guo Fengxiao he knows? No, when has Guo Fengxiao been so reasonable, is Guo Jia sick today?

Guo Jia saw Cao Cao's movements, he did it on purpose just now, so he changed his words and said: "If they still refuse after reasoning, then they can only use the knife." We must convince people with virtue in doing things, they don't talk about morality, and we don't need to talk about benevolence and righteousness. ”

Cao Cao knew that he had been tricked by Guo Jia, and scolded with a smile: "I know that you, the prodigal son, are not such a rigid person!" ”

"Then the lord agreed?" Guo Jiake didn't care.

"It's lonely! Another point, if you send a messenger to Jiangdong and Jingzhou, let these two places contribute money and food to the Son of Heaven! Cao Cao commanded.

Everyone else present understood, and secretly praised Cao Cao's brain for turning fast.

"As for the issue of troops, order all the Taishou to recruit the grass thieves under them, and do extraordinary things at extraordinary times!" Cao Cao, who had a brainstorm, thought of another way.

"The lord is wise!" The crowd exclaimed.

After solving the problem, Cao Cao began to drive people away, saying, "Okay, let's all go down." Zhong De stays! ”

After everyone else left, Cao Cao asked Cheng Yu, "Gongze's family has been arranged, right?" ”

"Rest assured, Yu Gongze's family has been arranged in the next place, and they have been given enough money and food for the rest of their lives." Cheng Yu replied.

"Okay, if it weren't for the public rule doing something wrong, Lone wouldn't have pushed him out!" As Liu Yu said, Cao Cao really pushed Yu Ban out as a substitute for the dead ghost to appease Liu Yu's anger.

"Don't blame yourself, presumably the lord will know and will definitely forgive the lord." Cheng Yu comforted.

"I hope so! The general trend of the world has been left and right by Lonely, and Lone feels exhausted! I really want to take a break. Cao Cao sighed.

Cheng Yu wanted to say something, but Cao Cao asked him to leave. Cheng Yu could only choose to leave and not disturb Cao Cao's rest.

Cao Cao came to the map alone and said to himself: "Yanzhou! This is Lonely's last barrier! ”
