The book is picked up again.

"Wonderful! It's wonderful! After watching it for a while, Cao Cao shouted loudly.

Then, he continued to follow Xun Yu's words: "And at that time, we can attack Yanzhou with confidence, and the virtuous brother can also attack Gongsun Zhan."

After these two sides are defeated, we will have no enemies in the north!

When the time comes, a certain family will lead a large army to attack Yuan Shu, Liu Biao and others in the south, and Xingzhi's virtuous brother will provide supplies for us in the rear. ”

The more Cao Cao spoke, the more excited he became, and after saying this, he clapped his hands and shouted loudly: "No wonder the two of you will say that in the future, the virtuous brother will become our baggage soldiers, and what he said is indeed true!" ”

Cao Cao felt that if things really went in the direction they wanted, this would definitely happen in the end.

"Hehe......" Looking at Cao Cao who was full of excitement, Xun Yu chuckled lightly and said, "What the lord said is not right or not. ”

"Oh?" When Cao Cao heard this, he asked curiously, "How do you say this?" ”

After Xun Yu heard Cao Cao's words, he stood up and came to the side of the map, pointed to Youzhou, and said with a complicated face: "What the lord said is generally right, but the lord just said that the matter of letting the virtuous brother of Xingzhi attack Youzhou is wrong!"

Because the person who attacked Youzhou must be the lord! ”

"......" After Cao Cao heard Xun Yu's words, he didn't speak, but nodded thoughtfully.

He now understands what Xun Yu means, Xun Yu is doing this to guard against Li Zhi!

Although everyone present knew that Li Zhizhi no longer competed for world dominance.

But who can say for sure if people are alive?

What if Li Zhi suddenly awakened the heart of the king one day?

So, even as allies, they have to be on guard!

And Youzhou is a very critical territory, as long as they take over Youzhou, then they will have the source of two horses.

When the time comes, they will be able to pull up one elite cavalry after another.

And with the cavalry, they will be able to restrain Li Zhi.

If Li Zhi is allowed to get Youzhou, if Li Zhi has the heart to fight for hegemony, then his power will skyrocket in an instant!

Because there are three places in the world that produce horses, namely Youzhou and Liangzhou.

If Li Zhi had the two good lands of Bingzhou and Youzhou, plus the financial resources in his hands, then he would be able to pull up several elite cavalry in an instant!

When the time comes, no one will be able to restrain him!

Therefore, Xun Yu asked Cao Cao to take Youzhou into his hands first.

In this way, they can restrain Li Zhi, and once Li Zhi wants to dominate the world, they will not be powerless to fight back.

"......" after everyone present heard Xun Yu's words

and they all fell silent.

At this time, the atmosphere in the hall is very solemn!

Although they all knew that Xun Yu was right to do this, everyone present knew Li Zhi, and most of them had a good relationship with Li Zhi, so they really didn't want to bring up this heavy topic.

"Hah!" In the end, it was Guo Jia who broke the heavy atmosphere, and after he chuckled, he pretended to be relaxed and said to everyone: "I said you think too much, right?!"

Now we only own one state, and we only have 60,000 or 70,000 soldiers and horses, so you have thought of such a distant future?!

Is Gongsun Chan so easy to deal with?

Since you all know that Youzhou is a good place to produce horses, then you should also know how powerful the cavalry under Gongsun Zhan is.

If we really match him, it is not certain who wins and who loses!

You're actually sharing the profits now? Do you really think he's muddy? It's really funny and generous! ”

After saying this, he paused, thought for a while, and continued: "What I have to do now is not to think about how to restrain my brother, but how to get Qingzhou into my hands!" ”

"Haha......" After Cao Cao heard Guo Jia's words, he immediately laughed and said: "Feng Xiao is right, it's me who is thinking too far!"

The most important thing for me now is to think about how to deal with the remnants of Yuan Shao in Qingzhou. ”

Although on the surface, Cao Cao's words meant to leave this topic aside.

But everyone present was smart people, and they could all hear that Cao Cao was saying that they wanted to be "too far" rather than "too much"!

In other words, Cao Cao's potential meaning is that precautions still need to be guarded, but there is no need to take precautions so early!

"......" Guo Jia opened his mouth after hearing Cao Cao's words, but he didn't continue to say anything.

Although he has the heart to continue to exonerate Li Zhi, he is in a different position now, and he really can't open this mouth!

He is now Cao Cao's advisor, and everything he thinks should be from Cao Cao's point of view.

And if you think about it from Cao Cao's point of view, Li Zhi may really become their enemy!

Although Li Zhi looks harmless to humans and animals now, people's hearts are fickle, who knows if Li Zhi will change his mind in the future?

So these things have to be guarded against!

It is precisely because he understands this that Guo Jia did not continue to excuse Li Zhi.

Everyone else also understood Cao Cao's will and Guo Jia's difficulties, so they invariably skipped this topic.

Then, I heard Xun You speak: "If we want to take over Qingzhou, we must find Yuan Shao's family!"

Because they are the backbone of Qingzhou!

After Yuan Shao was captured, all the forces in Qingzhou must be looking forward to them.

If I can find them, it will be much easier to pacify Qingzhou. ”

"Gongda has a point." After Xun Yu heard Xun Yu's words, he nodded with approval on his face and said, "As long as I can find Yuan Shao's family, I won't need many soldiers and horses to take over Qingzhou safely."

And in this way, we will not destroy the production of Qingzhou, and it will be of great benefit to us to attack other princes in the future! ”

After Cao Cao heard the words of the uncle and nephew, he nodded approvingly.

Then he seemed to think of something, turned his gaze to Guo Jia, and said angrily: "Speaking of looking for people, a certain family thought of the intelligence department led by Brother Feng Xiaoxian, which is really disappointing to a certain family!"

For example, such a big thing happened this time, and a certain family actually knew about the process through the letters of the virtuous brothers! ”

Yes, Cao Cao didn't know what happened in Jizhou, but it wasn't until he received Li Zhi's letter that he finally knew about it, which made him disappointed in Fengxiao's intelligence department!

What happened in Jizhou is not a secret thing, and it can't be hidden from people at all.

Cao Cao believed that many well-informed families in Xuzhou knew about this, but as the lord of Xuzhou, he had to know about it through Li Zhi, who was far away in Luoyang.

It can be seen that Guo Jia's intelligence department is indeed very poor.

After Guo Jia heard Cao Cao's words, he immediately shouted Tianqu with grief and indignation: "Lord, you have to speak with your conscience!"

Forming an intelligence unit is very labor-intensive!

If you are given sufficient resources, Najia can indeed pull up an elite intelligence unit in the shortest possible time!

But, did you give?!

Since you came to Xuzhou, you only gave Jia a little resources to fend for himself.

It's not easy for Canon to maintain the status quo, how elite do you expect this intelligence force to be? ”

"Uh... Hehe...... This matter is the fault of a certain family, please forgive me, Brother Feng Xiaoxian, forgive ......me" After Cao Cao heard Guo Jia's words, he immediately laughed a little embarrassed.

Because Guo Jia is right, since he came to Xuzhou, Cao Cao has poured his main energy into governing Xuzhou.

And if you want to govern a state, you must have countless money.

But Cao Cao was very poor, so he could only spend all his limited resources on governing Xuzhou.

As a result, Guo Jia's intelligence department has fewer and fewer resources.

And because of this, Guo Jia has not been able to develop the intelligence department, which is really no wonder Guo Jia.

"Humph!" Guo Jia snorted coldly after hearing Cao Cao's words, but he did not continue to embarrass Cao Cao.

At this moment, Jia Xu, who had been silent, suddenly said coldly, "I think that Cao Gong should develop the intelligence department well." ”
