Chapter 800: Cao Cao's shortcomings

The book is picked up again.

"......" Although Xun Yu suppressed his anger, he actually had some anger in his heart.

But at this time, after listening to Guo Jia's words, he suddenly stopped being angry.

Because although Guo Jia calculated him, on the other hand, he also pointed out his weaknesses!

Moreover, this method of guidance made him remember it deeply, and he would never forget it even if it was another hundred years!

Not only Xun Yu, but Cao Cao also discovered this, but he didn't speak, just looked at Xun Yu and Guo Jia with a smile.

Especially when he looked at Guo Jia, there was a deep sense of relief in his eyes.

He really likes his subordinates to use this method to guide and compete with each other, because only in this way can they improve.

Anyway, for Cao Cao, whether it is the development of Xuzhou or the development of the intelligence department, he will benefit in the end, so he is also happy to watch the two fight.

Just after the atmosphere in the hall fell into a strange calm, Xun Yu suddenly said calmly: "Thank you Brother Fengxiaoxian, if you lose, you will lose, I promised you that my brother will never repay the debt!" ”

After saying this, Xun Yu immediately changed the topic and asked Cao Cao: "Lord, should I first exterminate the remnants of Yuan Shao in Qingzhou and then go to meet with the hussar general, or vice versa?" ”

The reason why Xun Yu changed the topic so bluntly was because he couldn't hold it on his face.

Although he knew that Guo Jia was doing it for his good, this approach was too embarrassing.

"Hehe......" Cao Cao also knew that Xun Yu's face was a little unbearable, so he didn't mention the topic just now, and replied after chuckling: "A certain family plans to divide the army into two routes, and the Xiahou brothers will go to Qingzhou with an army of 30,000 ......"

"Don't !!" As soon as Cao Cao said this, many of the strategists present stood up at the same time and stopped Cao Cao in unison.

Seeing this, Cao Cao's face was no longer as relaxed as he was just now, and he asked solemnly: "Why not, but what's wrong?" ”

Cao Cao knew that everyone present was a top strategist, and since they were against it together, it must be his mistake, so he looked at everyone seriously.

Cao Cao's own strategy is not very strong, but he has one advantage, that is, he likes to learn.

So, after knowing that he was wrong, he immediately asked everyone for advice like a student.

Among the strategists, Xun Yu was the oldest, and he was Cao Cao's mastermind, so he explained to Cao Cao: "My lord, although 30,000 soldiers and horses plus the bravery of the two Xiahou brothers, it is indeed possible to exterminate the remnants of Yuan Shao in Qingzhou.

But this is very unsafe!

Because Yuan Shao originally had an army of more than 500,000 people, after losing more than 300,000, there were still more than 200,000 left.

These more than 200,000 people are evenly distributed in Qingzhou and Bingzhou.

And we don't have any information about this at all, and I don't know how many people there are in Qingzhou.

If I wait to attack rashly, it is very likely that I will run into their main force, what if all these 200,000 troops are gathered in Qingzhou?! ”

After Cao Cao heard this, he nodded thoughtfully, and then he asked, "Although what you said is reasonable, it doesn't seem to be a big deal to run into their main force, right?"

Although these 200,000 troops sound terrifying, in fact, they are just an army composed of Yuan Shao with some county soldiers, hooligans, and some homeless people.

Their combat power is actually very ordinary, and any soldier under the command of a certain family can be worth ten with one! ”

"The lord must not be underestimated!" After Xun Yu heard Cao Cao's words, he said with a solemn face: "Although these 200,000 troops are only used to make up the number of county soldiers.

But my subordinates don't think that my 30,000 elites can beat an army of 200,000!

Even if you can beat it, you will lose both!

When the time comes, what will I take to garrison the two states of Xuzhou and Qingzhou? ”

After saying this, he was afraid that Cao Cao would not give up, so he used Li Zhi to give an example, "My lord, it is also to deal with the land of a state, do you see how many troops the hussar general has produced?!" ”

"Virtuous brother?" After Cao Cao heard Xun Yu's words, he suddenly reacted, and said with a surprised face: "Don't you say that I really didn't pay attention, in order to deal with those remnants, Brother Xingzhi actually sent an elite army of 100,000!"

This... Is this a bit of a fuss? ”

When it came to the end, Cao Cao stammered a little.

Because he knew the elite level of Li Zhi's army, Cao Cao even thought that if he and Li Zhi fought, then Li Zhi's army would be able to defeat one against two!

But Li Zhi, who has such an elite army, actually sent 100,000 people when facing the 200,000 ordinary county soldiers! It's like cutting ants with a big knife!

"The views of the subordinates are exactly the opposite of the lord!" Xun Yu's opinion was different from Cao Cao's, and he shook his head and said, "My subordinates think that the hussar general is a clever move to do this!"

As the saying goes, the lion fights the rabbit, and also uses all his strength!

Although the chief general only sent 50,000 horses to get the project, for the sake of insurance, he still sent an extra generation of horses, so that it would be foolproof!

And the hussar general can also play a role in deterring the enemy by doing this!

As long as anyone who knows that the hussar general sent 100,000 troops, he must know that he has made up his mind to occupy Yuan Shao's territory!

If anyone wants to fish in troubled waters, they have to think about whether they can afford the revenge of the hussar general!

In this way, even if the other princes covet Yuan Shao's territory, they will definitely not dare to make a move! ”

After saying this, Xun Yu's face was full of emotion.

Ever since he met Li Zhi, he found that Li Zhi

Doing things is always leaky, and everything in front of you is thought of in front!

And it is precisely because of this character and practice that Li Zhi has been developing smoothly until now.

So he also hopes that Cao Cao can learn from Li Zhi and be a person who prepares for everything!

Only in this way will there be steady progress and no big mistakes.

"......" After Cao Cao heard Xun Yu's words, he also knew his intentions, and after being silent for a while, he nodded, and said in a kind manner: "You are right, a certain family should indeed change its character of being eager for quick success." ”

As soon as Cao Cao......'s words were finished, everyone present breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.

In fact, after following Cao Cao for so long, all the strategists under Cao Cao's command discovered one of Cao Cao's weaknesses, that is, they like to rush for quick success and quick profit, and prefer to take shortcuts!

In other words, Cao Cao is very fond of the kind of behavior with small investment and large returns, but high risk.

But how can there be such a good thing in the world?

High returns mean high risks!

Once something goes wrong, Cao Cao's foundation will definitely suffer a major blow!

Although these strategists discovered Cao Cao's weakness, they really didn't dare to point it out because of Cao Cao's majesty.

Others dare not say it, but Xun Yu dares to say it!

Because he and Cao Cao were friends, and with Li Zhi and the Xun family behind him, he was not afraid of offending Cao Cao, so he took this opportunity to speak out.

Of course, although he was not afraid of Cao Cao, he didn't want to fall out with Cao Cao.

Therefore, he said it very tactfully, reminding Cao Cao with very hidden words, so that Cao Cao realized himself, thus preserving Cao Cao's face.

"Alas......" After Cao Cao was silent for a long time, he suddenly sighed, glanced at everyone present, and said with emotion on his face: "Everyone, if there is anything wrong with a certain family in the future, I hope you will point it out directly, and there is no need to beat around the bush."

Although a certain family values the superiority and humility, a certain family prefers to listen to this kind of anti-ear advice! ”

After speaking, in order to show his sincerity, Cao Cao also stood up and bowed deeply to everyone, as a way to express his determination.

Seeing this, everyone did not dare to slack off, and at the same time stood up and returned the salute to Cao Cao.

After the salute, there was excitement in everyone's eyes.

Because in their opinion, as long as Cao Cao corrects the problem of quick success, he is simply a perfect lord.

As for his other minor problems, such as lust and so on......

In the eyes of the strategists, it doesn't matter!

No, to be exact, they hope that Cao Cao's jade hope will be stronger!

Because only Cao Cao, who has a very strong jade hope, will be more aggressive!
