Jiao Yan said with a smile: "This time, Cao Cao, Yuan Shang, Yuan Tan and other princes, should be anxious and scared, right?" ”

"Hahaha..."

The crowd burst into laughter.

"Ahem..." Yuan Xi knocked on the table and pulled the generals back to reality: "Don't underestimate the princes from all walks of life. Yuan Shang discovered an oil field and is exploiting it. Cao Cao seized Nanyang, and there was no longer a shortage of food, and there was a large number of soldiers. As for Yuan Tan, he was even more in collusion with Cao Cao. Jiangdong's sailors are known as invincible in the world, crisscrossing the Jianghuai River, and even Cao Cao is afraid, while our sailors have not yet formed combat effectiveness. It all takes time to accumulate. Generals, I am going to return to Jizhou tomorrow, and the border of Youzhou will be handed over to you. ”

"Lord, should we stay too?" Jaw asked.

"Nope." Yuan Xi said: "You and Li Dian, go back to Yecheng with me." Don't forget, you are Zhuo'er's teacher, if you are stationed at the border, how can you teach him martial arts? ”

"Yes." Zhang Jaw thought that Yuan Xi had forgotten about this matter.

"Tian Yu, Tian Chou, Jiao Touch." Yuan Xi called softly.

"Yes."

The crowd stepped forward.

Yuan Xi said: "Tian Yu and Tian Chou are still stationed on the Great Wall and are responsible for the defense of the Great Wall. Jiao Touch was here to assist for a while, and then returned to Jixian County to be on standby. In addition, the grassland within the Great Wall can be used to raise some animals, and I have already told Mr. Xun and Chen Deng about this matter, and this plan will be implemented next year. You can first take someone to survey the terrain, draw a few maps, and send them to Chen Deng. ”

"No." Burn down the touch.

Mid-October.

Cao Cao, who was in Yanzhou, also received news of the defeat of the Xiongnu.

He wasn't too surprised by the fight. Because he had fought with Yuan Xi a long time ago, he knew Yuan Xi's strength. Just the huge body of the Titan Python is enough to scare off the Huns, is there still suspense about the outcome of the war?

It's just that he didn't expect that the Huns, who are known as the unparalleled iron cavalry, would be so cowardly, and they didn't even hold out for a few days before they were wiped out by the whole army that was killed. It can also be seen from this that Yuan Xi's strength is stronger than before.

Cao Cao became more and more anxious in his heart, and summoned his generals and strategists to come over from time to time to discuss things: "Yuan Xi has won many battles and is already the most powerful prince in the world. We can't afford to sit still, we have to build up. Fengxiao, don't you have a plan? Tell me about it? Cao Cao looked at Guo Jia.

Guo Jia is his chief strategist, and all his strategies are perfect.

"Let's let Mr. Cheng and Mr. Wen Ruo say it. The minister hasn't thought about it yet. Guo Jia arched his hand.

"Wen Ruo, you say it first." Cao Cao choked his mouth.

"Yes."

Xun Yu Xun Wenruo's eyebrows tightened, and he said slowly: "Yuan Xi's strength is all a giant beast. If it weren't for the Behemoth, his strength would be no different from that of other princes. The minister thought that the urgency of the moment was to send someone to destroy his giant beast. ”

"How easy is that?" Cao Cao rolled his eyes.

"If I remember correctly, Yuan Tan once sent people to Jizhou to attack the Ten Thousand Beasts Garden, but it was unsuccessful." Xun You said.

"Yuan Tan is not careful, and he directly enters the Ten Thousand Beasts Garden, which is no different from looking for death. I'm talking about hiding from the investigation of the Jizhou army and quietly entering the Ten Thousand Beasts Park, such as digging a tunnel? Although this method is a bit stupid and takes a long time, as long as the tunnel is dug well, will Yuan Xi's giant beast still be alive? Whether it's burning or poisoning, you can always kill those beasts! Xun Yu said.

Hiss...

Everyone gasped.

Not to mention, Xun Yu's strategy really caught Cao Cao's attention: "You might as well give it a try." Cao Cao said.

"Full of favors, generals."

"Yes."

Full of favors.

Cao Cao instructed: "This matter is entrusted to you." If you can destroy Yuan Xi's giant beast within a year or two. I will play the Son of Heaven and show you as the history of Xuzhou. ”

"No." Full of pets responded excitedly.

"Prime Minister, the minister thinks that arson and poisoning are just small tricks, and it will take too long to say whether they can succeed or not. The minister thought that he should unite with Eastern Wu, drive the sailors of Eastern Wu into the Yellow River, and destroy Yuan Xi's sailors. He is now building a large number of warships, and when he builds the warships, that is, when he crosses the river and goes eastward, our Yanzhou and Xuzhou will be attacked. That's the priority. Cheng Yu said.

"Hmm."

Cao Cao nodded and said, "I just received the news that the sailor that Yuan Xi wants to build is indeed a bit weird. It is said that warships sail several times faster than ordinary warships. This has to be built, who is the enemy? ”

"What the prime minister said is extremely true."

"Cheng Yu."

"Yes."

"If you bring it up, you are responsible. Immediately sent someone to Soochow to fight with Sun Quan Xiaoming, and tried to persuade him to send troops, and took the advantage of his water division to catch Yuan Xi off guard. If Sun Quan refuses, it doesn't matter, we can take the opportunity to ease our relationship with him, and save ourselves from going to war with Yuan Xi in the future and suffering the enemy on our backs. Cao Cao said.

"No."

The two strategies proposed by Xun Yu and Cheng Yu were adopted by Cao Cao.

Arson, poisoning, and persuading Eastern Wu to attack the new naval army on the north bank of the Yellow River were all tactics to defeat Yuan Xi. Moreover, it is highly likely to succeed. Because it's okay to be prepared. The naval army on the banks of the Yellow River did not have the water to compete with Soochow.

"Fengxiao, what do you say?" Cao Cao still wanted to hear Guo Jia's advice.

Guo Jia came out and said: "Prime Minister, what Xun Wenruo and Cheng Yucheng said just now is good. It's the best strategy to attack Yuan Xi, but the minister is worried that this will cause him to burn himself? With Yuan Xi's current strength, he doesn't seem to take Yuan Shang seriously. Yuan Shang didn't dare to attack Yuan Xi easily, and was completely on the defensive. If we make a move and provoke Yuan Xi, will Yuan Xi abandon Yuan Shang and start a war with us first? It's not impossible. ”

"Don't worry about filial piety. Even if Yuan Xi wants to go to war against me, I will do it. I can't just watch him be strong. Cao Cao said.

"Yes."

Guo Jia only mentioned it, then changed his words and said: "Attacking the enemy is one thing, and enhancing one's own strength is also one thing. The minister suggested that the matter of Xiliang should be resolved as soon as possible. Xiliang Ma Teng, Han Sui, etc., have a large number of war horses in their hands, and the soldiers of Xiliang are extremely brave. If the prime minister can defeat it and surrender it again, it will be a great help to the prime minister. ”

"And Liu Biao in Jingzhou. The nine counties of Jingxiang occupied by Liu Biao are vast and rich in people, rich in products, and can block Eastern Wu and provide the prime minister with soldiers, horses, money and food to meet Yuan Xi. Otherwise, there will be no possibility or opportunity to eliminate Liu Biao and get Jingzhou in the future. ”

Guo Jia's advice is to focus on enhancing his own strength.

Cao Cao couldn't help but think of the Luoyang Navy he formed in the upper reaches of the Luo River. Although the number of people is larger than Yuan Xi's, and the speed of building a naval army is also faster than Yuan Xi's, judging from the current situation, it seems that it is not the opponent of Yuan Xi's naval army.

He said: "Feng Xiao's words are reasonable! ”
