Yanzhou, Shanyang County, Changyi.

"Lord!" Xun Yu shouted at Cao Cao eagerly.

The reason why he was so flustered was Dian Wei, who was furious and ready to rush forward. Although Xun Yu had exhausted all his strength, as a civil official, he really couldn't resist Dian Wei's power.

But Cao Cao just sat steadily, laughing and not saying a word.

There weren't many people who could make Dian Wei so angry, but the young man on the other side of the bed was one of them.

This man is Guo Jia.

At this time, Guo Jia was leaning on the edge of the bed, disheveled, holding a scantily clad young woman in his arms.

"Presumptuous! How dare you be so rude in front of the lord! Dian Wei shook off Xun Yu and was about to rush up to teach Guo Jia a lesson.

"Alright." Cao Cao finally spoke.

Dian Wei glared at Guo Jia angrily, clenched his fists, and finally gave up.

"General Cao is so gratifying to have such a loyal tiger general to protect him." Although Guo Jia was speaking to Cao Cao, his eyes always stopped on the woman.

"Smack!" Dian Wei didn't speak, but out of anger, he broke off the armrest of the chair.

"Bong-hyo! In front of the lord, you are also more restrained! Xun Yu's face couldn't be hung up.

"Alas......" Guo Jia sighed and sat up slowly, but his right hand still took the opportunity to pinch the woman's face.

"Cao Mou listened to Wen Ruo and said that Your Excellency has great talent in your chest, so he came to see it. Could it be that Your Excellency wants to teach Cao how to flirt with women? ”

"Hahahaha...... General Cao is really different from other mediocre people in the world. Speaking of this, Guo Jia suddenly restrained his debauchery and became very serious, "In this case, it is not in vain to come to Changyi." ”

"Oh? Hehe, I don't know what your Excellency thinks? ”

"Jia wants to hear what the general is planning at the moment?"

"Why did Your Excellency knowingly ask, didn't you use Wen Ruo's mouth to suggest that Cao go to meet Your Majesty?"

"General Cao doesn't have to be so outside, just call me Fengxiao. But what I just asked was what the general was planning at this moment. ”

"It is nothing more than raising food and grass, raising soldiers, preparing tribute gifts and things for His Majesty's royal use."

"But what else?"

"What does Bong-hyo mean?"

"Could it be that General Fei plans to welcome His Majesty to Yanzhou?"

"Wrong?"

"Of course not."

After hearing this, Cao Cao was silent for a moment, and then asked, "But because Yanzhou is barren?" ”

"Exactly. After several wars, people have been displaced, and the fields have been abandoned for a long time, and they can not be restored overnight. If His Majesty is welcomed to Yanzhou, not to mention how those old ministers will despise the general, it is still unknown whether the general can defend His Majesty. ”

"What do you mean by that?"

"To welcome Your Majesty, in order to be able to command the princes, but also to give the general more advantages to you. After all, if anyone uses troops against you, he can be said to have rebelled and justifiably sent troops to exterminate them. But the most fatal thing about Yanzhou is that the population is depressed, and it is extremely difficult to recruit soldiers. Even from now, it will take more than ten years to improve, but time is running out. ”

"Bong-hyo is to say...... Yuan Shao? ”

When Guo Jia heard this, a satisfied smile appeared on his face. A wise and far-sighted lord is exactly what he seeks.

"Not bad! Although Yuan Shao was still an ally of the general at this time, it was because Gongsun Zan was still alive at this time. Yuan Shao is like a tiger in the cage of Hebei, and it is precisely because of the jackal Gongsun Zan that he has no time to look south. But when Gongsun Chan was destroyed, how could he Yuan Shao be trapped in the cage for a long time? ”

"According to Fengxiao's opinion, how long can Gongsun Chan last?"

"I heard that Gongsun Zhan retreated to Yijing, Tuntian rested, and could still confront Yuan Shao. But if he is just so stubborn, he is only afraid...... Within three years, they will be defeated. ”

Including Xun Yu and Dian Wei, everyone present was just silent.

Three years is simply not enough for Cao Cao at this moment.

"Hehe, I don't know what good strategy Fengxiao has?"

"The general already has the answer in his heart, so why bother asking."

"Xuzhou is certainly rich, but now Liu Bei and Lu Bu are there, but I am afraid that it will also be difficult to break." Xun Yu said with some embarrassment.

"No, what Feng Xiao said, not Xuzhou, but ...... Southern Yuzhou. ”

"Yuzhou?!" Xun Yu cried out in some surprise.

"Runan and Yingchuan are occupied by the remnants of the Yellow Turbans, if we can collect this place, first, we can expand our power, second, we can seize a relatively rich land to settle Your Majesty, and third, we can ...... It can also replenish the source of troops. ”

"Lord, you mean?" Uneasy thoughts came to Xun Yu's heart again.

"Exactly, I want Zhicai and Youduo to recruit the Yellow Turban Army there. After all, there is some relationship between them. ”

Xun Yu didn't have any objection to this suggestion, after all, it was also what he hoped to let Duan Xuan leave Cao Cao's side.

Without Duan Xuan, Cao Cao would not have been thinking about Xuzhou in his heart.

"It's just that Cao still has a reluctant request, I don't know if Feng Xiaoken agrees?"

"Hehe, what the general thinks, Jia naturally understands in his heart. It's just that the time has not yet come, and it is inconvenient for Jiashang to come forward. ”

"Even so, then Cao is not easy to force, I just hope that Fengxiao will not let Cao wait too long." Cao Cao smiled slightly.

"However, Jia has a sentence that can be given to the general first."

"Cao listened attentively."

"A manly man should naturally make meritorious contributions, but if he doesn't know how to enjoy himself and only knows how to conquer, life will be too boring."

As he spoke, Guo Jia completely ignored Dian Wei's bloodshot eyes, and gently pushed the woman beside him towards Cao Cao with his hand.

……

Cao Cao and Guo Jiachang talked about Shen Shi before leaving, but at ten o'clock in the evening, Xun Yu came to Guo Jia's residence again.

"Why didn't you say yes?"

"I said, the time has not come."

"When?"

"If Duan Xuan doesn't die, I won't be Cao Cao's staff."

"You!" Xun Yu was so angry that he didn't know what to say.

"Now that Yefeng has withdrawn the order to hunt him down, I really don't know when you will have to wait."

"It won't be too long, he will go to Runan, and he won't come back."

Xun Yu was shocked, "What does this mean?" ”

"When you and I lived in seclusion in Yingchuan, did you really have nothing to do all day long?"

"Really?"

"I have already visited He Yi and others of the Yellow Turban Army, and naturally I know that they originally belonged to Hebei Yefeng. I have informed them of what Duan Xuan had done in Chang'an, and I have lobbied them. Now they all hate Duan Xuan to the core, if he dares to go to you and Ying, there will be no bones left. Saying that, Guo Jia's eyes were full of murderous intent.

Xun Yu was also taken aback by him like this, "Why do you hate him so much?" ”

"Wen Ruo, do you remember that I visited Yuan Shao back then?"

"It is true."

"After that, I didn't immediately return to Yingchuan, but went to Luoyang."

"Why?"

"To find out."

Xun Yu couldn't help but be a little curious, "What is it?" ”

"Ding Yuan's death."

"Wasn't he killed by Lu Bu?"

"Oh, that's just a rumor. I hired someone to catch a night forward in Luoyang, and when I asked, I found out that Ding Yuan's death was a good thing done by Duan Xuan's master and apprentice. ”

"What?!"

"Lu Bu is Dong Zhuo who went to take refuge because of Duan Xuan's instigation."

Although it sounds a little ridiculous, Xun Yu knows that this guy who usually misbehaves will never joke about this kind of thing.

"Is that why you hate him?"

"No, it's just something I think you should know."

"Then why do you hate him so much?"

Guo Jia glanced at Xun Yu, slowly restrained his smile, and then became a little annoyed, "As a military advisor, you must always stay calm and not shake your mind because of personal feelings. But at this time, because of the death of his master Mo Yue, he no longer had the appearance of a military advisor at all. All he wanted in his heart was to get rid of Lu Bu and avenge his division. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been biting Xuzhou all the time. ”

Xun Yu smiled bitterly and nodded, "What you said is good, which is why I told Ye Feng where he was." ”

"Don't worry, when he dies, I will give you and the land of Ying, with both hands." Guo Jia saw Xun Yu's worries and said confidently.

"That's not what worries me."

"Oh? Then I don't know what else could make you so upset. Guo Jia said with a smile.

"It is advisable to welcome Your Majesty and prove your talent to the Lord; It is recommended to conquer Ru and Ying, prove his foresight to the lord, and at the same time get rid of Duan Xuan; Tell me the truth about Ding Yuan's death and let me be of the same heart with you. Fengxiao, how many strategies do you have that you haven't made clear to me? Xun Yu asked a little stunned.

"A strategist will have an end to his life? Okay, I'm tired, so I won't send you. When you go downstairs, remember to tell Linglong to come up. Saying that, Guo Jia actually lay down on the bed by himself, waving his hand at Xun Yu facing in.

Xun Yu let out a long sigh and walked downstairs......

————————————————

Yangzhou, Huainan County, suburbs of Juchao County.

Under the persuasion of the Sixth and Seventh Sages and a number of subordinates, Sun Cecai finally gave up his plan to go to Shouchun in person.

But if the bones of Sun Jian and Wu Qin are not brought back, I am afraid that the soldiers will be cold.

Therefore, after everyone's discussion, Sun Ce's uncle, that is, Wu Qin and Wu Ning's younger brother Wu Jing, and Sun Ce's cousin Sun Ben went on his behalf. Just in case, at the suggestion of Zhou Yu, he and his father Zhou Shang also went together.

At this time, the four of them led a thousand men and horses to the vicinity of Juchao County.

"Hehe, Gong Jin, do you think Yuan Shu will kill all of us?" Sun Ben asked Zhou Yu jokingly.

"I can't say, Boyang, you remember to save me when the time comes." Zhou Yu pretended to be very serious and said.

"Don't worry, I'll fight my way out." Sun Ben was really frightened by him.

"Gong Jin, Boyang is honest, don't tease him anymore. Boyang, Yuan Shu will not do anything to us. Zhou Shang finally couldn't stand it anymore.

"Yes, Yuan Shu has the heart of an emperor, but if he is called emperor, he will be condemned by the world. Now, even if he can win over one more person, how can he take the initiative to be the enemy of Ce'er and others? Wu Jing explained to Sun Ben.

"Oh, that's fine." Sun Ben nodded in realization.

"I just don't know," Zhou Yu's expression suddenly became serious, "Is Bo Fu okay over there......"
