Since Liu Bei announced that he would be the president of Xiapi University and included Xuzhou as the sphere of influence of the Taoyuan Army, a large-scale rectification began. It is called the "Clean Campus" activity.

The six counties of Xuzhou were groomed by him one by one. The possible spies and spies among them, whether they are from the local forces in Xuzhou or those from other forces, will be dealt with seriously.

If they are more cooperative, they will be directly repatriated to the forces to which they belong. Those who resolutely denied it and did not cooperate were sent to Liu Bei's transformation site that specialized in "ideological education".

In this way, after the other party comes out, even if it was a spy before, it will be corrected. If you are not a spy and caught by mistake, then you should give the other party a lesson in loyalty and love for the school. Anyway, if they can be caught as a spy, they must not be good birds!

In this "clean campus" activity, Chen Deng, as a native of Xuzhou, practiced it. not only arrested all of them according to the list given by Liu Bei, but also followed the vine, and even caught a lot of spies sent by other counties.

Afterwards, according to the list of spies that Li Ru obtained from the other four counties, he compared it before and after, and it was not bad at all.

And Chen Deng took advantage of this activity to gain the title of a little expert in tracking. It represents his reputation for his vicious eyes and strong case-handling ability!

And when Xuzhou was in internal rectification and turmoil, the outside world was also in an uproar.

The princes and colleges did not expect that Tao Qian would take the initiative to give Xuzhou to Liu Bei, this beautiful thing in a white state made them all regret that it was not themselves who supported Xuzhou in the first place. Otherwise, maybe they would be the ones who got Xuzhou at this moment!

But there is no regret medicine for them in this world. Because of the concern about Liu Xie, the leader of the alliance, and thus missing the many forces of Xuzhou, they began to re-examine Liu Xie's status.

Liu Bei's expedition to support Xuzhou this time can be said to have given them a precedence, allowing them to see for the first time the princes who openly opposed the alliance army.

Although Cao Cao's name is slightly flawed, after all, he still represents the direct team of the alliance leader Liu Xie. Liu Bei broke through Cao Cao's blockade and rushed directly to Xuzhou to drive Cao Cao back to Yuzhou. Two brothers of the same clan were killed and seriously injured. This is simply slapping Cao Cao and Liu Xie's faces!

And Cao Cao also silently kept this grudge in his heart, strengthened the training of Cao's army again, and began to conduct tactical research and scientific and technological inventions for some of Liu Bei's characteristics!

Then please announce Liu Bei's great crime of rebellion, and call on everyone to crusade against Liu Bei. It's just that this effect is very small, even if Liu Bei has no time to rectify Xuzhou now, the other princes' forces will not dare to test it easily.

Liu Zhang, from Yizhou, has chosen to be completely self-proclaimed, relying on his dangerous geographical location and mountains and rivers as a natural risk, cutting off contact with the outside world. It seems to be preparing to build Yizhou into an independent kingdom!

And Liu Biao of Jingzhou lamented Liu Bei's strength and force, and did not dare to offend. Seeing that Yizhou Liu Zhang chose to rest on his laurels, he also continued to strengthen Jingzhou's defense according to his previous thoughts. On the surface, he nodded and obeyed Liu Xie's orders, but he didn't take any practical action at all.

As for Yangzhou Sun Jian, Liangzhou Ma Teng, Yongzhou Han Sui and others, they are not interested in this kind of thankless thing. What's more, Sun Jian and Ma Teng also have some friendship with Liu Bei, so naturally they will not take the initiative to start a war with Liu Bei.

So Cao Cao could only watch the holy decree be issued, but he didn't see the tragic situation at all!

Annoyed, he smashed everything he could at home. The Cao family's compound, which was originally clean, was forced out of the garbage dump by him!

And just when Cao Cao was venting wantonly at home, he saw Cao Ren suddenly walk in from outside the door. Looking at the piles of broken porcelain on the ground, he sighed: "Big brother, don't be angry. Beware of the anger and liver damage! ”

"How can I not be angry, Miaocai died, and Yuan Rang was blind in one eye. And I, the eldest brother, don't even have the ability to avenge them! How can I not be angry?

I'm angry that my own abilities are too weak to protect my brother's thoughtfulness. I'm angry that my forces are too weak to protect the dignity of the alliance leader. I'm angry at my own cowardice, and now I don't even have the courage to fight Liu Bei to the death! ”

Cao Cao said as he spoke, tears falling uncontrollably!

After hearing this, Cao Ren's expression was also very sad, remembering the purpose of his coming, and said in a deep voice: "Big brother, maybe someone can help us deal with Liu Bei." Mr. Xun asked to see him outside the door, and he brought a young man who said that he could help us change the current situation. Maybe this person will have a way to help us deal with Liu Bei! ”

When Cao Cao heard this, his spirits were lifted, and he immediately asked people to come over and clean up the debris on the ground. And he personally went out to greet Xun Yu and the mysterious young man he brought.

At this moment, at the gate of the Cao family's compound, I saw the gentle Xun Yu beside him, a young man who was flowing and revealing a bohemian temperament was standing beside him.

Before Cao Cao came out inside, he turned his head to Xun Yu and said, "I said Wen Ruo, do you really plan to let me take your place?" That's the chief military division, a position above 10,000 people under one person. You just gave up? ”

Hearing this, Xun Yu smiled lightly and said, "I know my strengths, and I also know your talent." So I'd better back you up in the rear, and it's up to a ghost like you to solve the problem of facing the enemy! ”

"Hehe~! You really look up to me, but I have to say in advance that I can agree to let me come over and serve as Cao Cao's advisor. But then Cao Cao must listen to me for everything, otherwise I won't be able to exert my great ability.

And he had to provide me with drinks and drinks every day, and he had to serve them personally. Because without this, my head would be like a pot of porridge, sticky and unable to turn at all!

The daily working hours are flexible and free, and I can't be bothered by things that are not important. Wen Ruo, can you guarantee that Cao Cao will agree to my request? ”

After listening to Guo Jia's request, Xun Yu was shocked for a while, and he had a new understanding of this prodigal son in his heart. Everything else is good, but this last one is a little difficult.

After all, as a strategist, you should give advice to the lord, and you can't disturb unimportant things, which is probably a loss of your duty as a courtier.

I wanted to say a few words to Guo Jia, but before he could reply, I heard a burst of hearty laughter suddenly come from the courtyard.

"Haha~! I can agree to your request, but you have to prove whether you really have the ability to enjoy this kind of treatment! ”

Seeing Cao Cao suddenly appear in front of the two, he heard Guo Jia's words on the way here, which made him a little curious about what kind of person would make such an rude request.

Seeing Guo Jia's unruly appearance at this moment, he immediately frowned. His eyes stared at Guo Jia motionlessly, and the momentum on his body gradually pressed towards him, wanting to give him a dismount and suppress his arrogance.

Regarding Cao Cao's gaze, Guo Jia didn't care. After feeling the other party's momentum pressing towards him, he immediately understood Cao Cao's intentions.

So I saw Guo Jia suddenly touch the wine jug on his waist, and then in Cao Cao's disbelieving eyes, he directly fell to the ground and drank wine.

Seeing this, Xun Yu smiled at Cao Cao with an embarrassed smile: "Lord, Guo Jia is such a dissolute and uninhibited character.

If you want to overwhelm him with momentum, he simply falls to the ground first and follows your thoughts. I want to punch the cotton, I feel uncomfortable, but I can't say that the cotton is not! ”

Cao Cao burst out laughing when he heard this.

"Haha~! Interesting, Guo Jia, you are really an interesting young man. Yes, I like it!

However, you haven't proven yourself worthy of that kind of treatment! If I can't prove it, then I'll still make you my advisor. But this treatment can only be the same as everyone else! ”

saw Guo Jia raise his eyebrows: "Don't you dislike me for being prodigal and doing things without rules?" ”

"Those who do big things are not informal, my Cao Cao pays first attention to personal talent, and as for the rest, it is not so important. And I'm not such a conformist myself! ”

Hearing Cao Cao's explanation, Guo Jia nodded secretly, and he was a little interested in Cao Cao.

He stood up again and patted Tudao behind him: "Since that's the case, then I'll let you see if I, Guo Jia, have wasted my reputation." I'll just say how you want to test it, I'll take it all!

But let's be honest, if I prove myself and you don't do what I said, I'll turn around and leave at any moment. And I won't recognize you as the Lord, at most I will work under you for a few years. When you've accomplished great things, I'll get up and leave! ”

"Hey, Bonghyo, you can't do this. It's not the same as what you promised me! Since you are here, you should naturally have the intention of confessing the Lord, how can you ......?"

Xun Yu still wanted to persuade Guo Jia to say a few words, but saw Cao Cao wave his hand and said: "What a dissolute and unruly Guo Fengxiao, you really don't want to be a little restrained!" But I, Cao Cao, agreed, you come with me. Let me see if you are really a ghost as Wen Ruo said! ”

As Cao Cao spoke, he brought the two of them to the living room, and then waved his hand and asked Cao Ren to bring over a three-dimensional topographic map of the whole school's Mengzhou County.

"Now I'm going to test you, when Liu Bei is the most powerful and the strongest today. And although I have the support of the alliance leader, the princes and colleges of the world are acting separately and are not obeying the orders of the alliance leader. In this case, how do we develop ourselves? ”

I saw Guo Jia holding a wine gourd, walking back and forth around the topographic map a few times, and then poured a few sips of wine and said: "Among the sages of the whole school league, there is a master named Guiguzi. He put forward a set of theories that are both vertical and horizontal, but they are only suitable for the current situation. ”

Guo Jia said, pointing to Liu Bei's sphere of influence and said: "Liu Bei's strength and power are indeed very strong. It is said that Liu Bei's combat power is about to break through to 25,000, and he can be called the strongest principal in history.

However, it is precisely because of this that we have the possibility to unite with other universities. The reason why he didn't stand up to deal with Liu Bei now was because he was afraid of retaliation from the other party.

After all, no force now dares to say that it can stop Liu Bei's army, and they dare not take the initiative to provoke Liu Bei, so the only thing they can do is to passively strengthen their own defenses. ”

Seeing that Cao Cao listened carefully to Guo Jia's words, he nodded: "That's right, according to the report from the spies I sent abroad, colleges and universities around the country are indeed strengthening the defense of the city gate and city wall. ”

"Therefore, we just need to win them over in the name of the alliance leader at this time, understand them with reason, move them with affection, and explain the stakes to them.

As long as they know that they can't resist Liu Bei with their own strength alone, then there is a great possibility that they will be brought over.

And with these people as allies, we also have the capital to compete with Liu Bei. All that remains is to join forces to sabotage Liu Bei's power expansion and block his development. ”

Guo Jia pointed to Yanzhou on the map and said in a deep voice: "If I were Liu Bei, then after Xuzhou was rectified, I would directly unite with the Jizhou army to attack Yanzhou." As long as Yanzhou is connected, then its own material supply lines will all be connected.

After that, whether it is attacking Sili, Yuzhou, or Qingzhou, you can take the means of joint attack and easily take it! ”

Cao Cao nodded, "That's true, but our army's new defeat is when the momentum is low." Even if I put all my troops in Yanzhou, I'm afraid I won't be able to resist the imposing Taoyuan Army! ”

Seeing Guo Jia shook his head and said: "You don't need to gather all of them in Yanzhou, Liu Bei's strength is actually his headquarters in Youzhou." And Jizhou, Jizhou's military strength is now at most a little more powerful than ordinary colleges and universities.

I believe that with the sophisticated equipment of the Cao Jiajun, it can be easily dealt with. So my plan is to unite with Liu Biao in Jingzhou and jointly defend Yanzhou.

Then taking advantage of the fact that Liu Bei is now leading troops to rectify in Xuzhou and the defense of the north is weak, he led Si Li's team to attack Bingzhou first. Then decide whether to unite Yanzhou Qingzhou and take the fat of Jizhou according to the situation.

If Liu Bei dares to lead troops back to help, with the help of the teams from Yanzhou and Jingzhou, he can also delay him, and then let the teams from Qingzhou and Yuzhou fight back at Xuzhou and give him a salary draw!

When the time comes, Liu Bei will either choose to lose Xuzhou and seize Jizhou, or choose to lose Jizhou to seize Xuzhou. ”

After listening to Guo Jia's words, Cao Cao's eyes lit up and he exclaimed: "Sure enough, it's a sentence that wakes up the dreamer!" was shocked by the strength of Liu Bei's troops before, but ignored the fact that they were all his own soldiers in Youzhou.

You're right, if it's just the defenders of an ordinary university, it can definitely be easily defeated with the strength of my Cao family's army. Then according to what Guo Jia said, I will let Chen Qun go to Jingzhou to cooperate with Liu Biao! ”

Guo Jia's guidance made Cao Cao feel like he was suddenly open. It turned out that he had been drilling a bull's horn before, thinking that as long as it was Liu Bei's subordinate, all of them would be one against ten.

But he forgot that it takes time to become stronger. Judging from the time when Liu Bei captured Bingzhou and Jizhou, even if he had Taijiquan that could improve his physique, such a short time should not be enough to turn all of them into strong soldiers with one enemy and ten!

At this moment, he is very satisfied with Guo Jia's test. And for talented people, Cao Cao has always been very talkative.

So for Guo Jia's previous request, Cao Cao nodded and agreed.

It's just that Guo Jia reminded Cao Cao at the end: "I heard that Liu Bei didn't bring Xu Shu with him when he sent troops to Xuzhou this time, and he sat in Youzhou, unless we take the state at the speed of a blitzkrieg." Otherwise, I'm afraid that there will be complications, so the people who will lead the troops to fight this time must be carefully selected! ”

It's just that Cao Cao shook his head and said, "There's no need to be so troublesome, this expedition is under my personal command." My brother's vengeance must be avenged by me personally! ”
