In the second year of Jian'an, in June 197 AD, Yuan Shu built a large number of buildings in Shouchun, built a palace and an altar, worshiped heaven and earth, and proclaimed himself the Son of Heaven. The country name is "Dacheng", and the year name is "Zhongjia", that is, 197 is the first year of Zhongjia. Yuan Shu ranks second in the family, so the Zhong character is the name of the year, and the Zhong family is the meaning of the prosperity of the second son.

Yuan Shu proclaimed himself emperor, and the whole country was shocked, and the news reached Xu Du, and for a time the imperial capital was surging, and the panic filled the entire city. Cao Ang didn't care at first, because as far as he knew, when Yuan Shu said that the emperor was not in heaven, the emperor's position was not even filled for three years. And when it comes to ability, Yuan Shu can't be Cao Cao's opponent at all. But it wasn't until a consultation with Cao Cao that Cao Ang learned that things weren't that simple.

After Cao Cao's thorough analysis of Yuan Shu's strength, Cao Ang Fang had a deep understanding of it. Yuan Shu's influence extended to Yangzhou, Sili, Jingzhou and Yuzhou. Among the southern princes, even Liu Biao and Sun Ce's strength is not as strong as Yuan Shu, among which Nanyang County, which was occupied by Yuan Shu, is the largest county in the Eastern Han Dynasty, with 37 cities, 500,000 people, and a population of no less than 2.4 million, as for Runan County, which was extended by Yuan Shu's snobbery, it is the second largest county in the Han Dynasty after Nanyang, and there are also 37 cities, 400,000 households, and a population of 2.1 million. Moreover, Jianghuai's agriculture, commerce, and handicraft industries are quite developed, and Yuan Shu's strength is even higher than Yuan Shao, who has not yet pacified Gongsun Zan at this time.

In the conference hall, Cao Cao looked at the generals below with an indifferent face, only to see that the cultural relics of the lower head were distributed on both sides, densely packed with no less than dozens of people, all of whom were Cao Cao's henchmen, many of whom had a deep and high-pitched temperament, and at a glance they knew that they were not general. Among them, it also includes the captain of the Tun cavalry, the eldest son Cao Ang.

After being silent for a long time, I saw Cao Cao cough lightly and said indifferently: "Ladies and gentlemen, today's court discussion is for the country and the king, those who speak are not guilty, those who hear are full of warnings, and the public has something to say, but it is okay to speak." ”

The person who spoke "Hui Ming Gong" had three wisps of fluttering, his face was as white as brocade, and his tone was flat and ancient, but his words were loud, and he was cited by Cao Cao as "my son's room". "The Duke of Ming supported the Han Emperor and supported the government, and was the minister of the humerus of the Han Dynasty. Now that Yuan Shu is usurping, all the princes of the world are waiting to see the dynamics of Xu Du, if the Ming Duke indulges the rebels, he is afraid that after a few years, there will be many imitators. ”

"There are many imitators..."Cao Cao gently stroked the long beard under his forehead, and nodded slowly: "Wen Ruo's words are very good. It's just that Yuan Shu is not waiting for leisure, and Gu Yuan intended to wait for Beiding to recover Jianghuai. I don't want people to be counted as good as heaven, Yuan Shu actually did this disobedient thing. It's not expected. ”

Everyone nodded when they heard this, but they kept silent, but this thing was sudden, where Xu Du was attacked on all sides, once the military horses were transferred south, if they could not break the enemy in the short term, the situation behind them would be precarious. And Yuan Shu's strength is extremely great, and it is by no means something that can be broken overnight. But if it is not fell, as Xun Yu said, after a few years, all the princes of the Quartet will follow suit, the prestige of the Son of Heaven of the Han family will be lost, and the Quartet will not be respected, which is extremely unfavorable to Cao Cao's political strategy. "Father, the child has a plan." Everyone couldn't help but look at the words when they heard the words, and when they saw the person who spoke clearly, they couldn't help but be slightly stunned, it turned out to be the eldest son Cao Ang.

Cao Ang followed everyone's eyes, and couldn't help but feel a little weak in his heart, but it stands to reason that someone should now offer Cao Cao a "Lian Zong" strategy, but for some reason, no one spoke for a long time.

Xun Yu has a unique political vision, and he may not be a little inferior to military law, and it is understandable that he has not thought of it for a while. As for Cao Cao himself, if everyone is watching his every move of the Han Dynasty, one of his decisions may affect the whole body at once, and the light will be the loss of the army, and the heavy will subvert the trend. I'm afraid that it is, but there should be one more person, what about Cao Cao's mastermind? Where is that ghost now? Why don't you give advice now? Although Cao Ang was strange in his heart, he looked at Cao Cao's solemn look on his face, and said in his heart: It's okay! If he doesn't offer me, who will let us be sons?

When Cao Cao heard Cao Ang's answer, he immediately turned his head and said: "Zi Xiu, if you have any ideas, it doesn't hurt to say it, don't be too formal." Cao Ang then said lightly: "Now with our army's own strength, if you want to shake Yuan Shu head-on, it is really worth the loss, and now Yuzhou Mu Liu Bei is attached to our army, which can make him the vanguard, one can be used as a help when fighting Yuan Shu, and the other can also consume Liu Bei's strength, so as not to be too full of wings." Jiangnan Sun Ce and Xuzhou Lu Bu both had a gap with Yuan Shu, and they did not follow the edict to contribute to the Son of Heaven and join forces in the south. ”

When Cao Cao and Xun Yu heard this, their eyes suddenly lit up, and Jia Xu in the corner seemed to have expected it, but he just raised his head and glanced at Cao Ang lightly, and then continued to close his eyes and bow his head. Xiahoudun over there touched his chin and said, "Zi Xiu, Lu Bu, although Sun Ce has a gap with Yuan Shu, the matter is very important, I am afraid that the two of them may not easily agree to our army's request." ”

Cao Ang only knew that the book said that Cao Cao gathered three generals to attack Yuan, but the specific matters and operations were not known to him, and when he was hesitating, he saw Xun Yu lightly opening his mouth to relieve Cao Ang's siege, "This point of Yuan makes the general rest assured, Lu Bu and Sun Ce occupy Xuzhou and Jiangnan respectively, but they are not famous." Now only two people need to be promised, and by the merit of rebellion, Lu Bu will be appointed as the pastor of Xuzhou, and Sun Ce will be the Taishou of the Huiji. Sure to succeed! ”

Cao Ang couldn't help nodding his head when he heard this, it was really Wang Zuozhicai! Deeply understand the way of governance and diplomacy. Lu Bu and Sun Ce led one side, and they were not allowed to write an edict to correct their names for a day, and the commander of the army and horses would be constrained for a while. Unless he establishes himself as an emperor like Yuan Shu, he has no title and title, and it is difficult to control a general in this era.

I saw that Cao Cao finally smiled: "Okay!" Sure enough, it was a brilliant idea, just according to Wenruo's words. Xun Yu shook his head slightly, turned his head and smiled at Cao Ang and said, "This strategy is not Xun Yu's work, it should be thanks to the eldest prince's suggestion." Hearing this, Cao Ang hurriedly saluted Xun Yu lightly.

Although Cao Cao didn't say anything to praise, he still turned his head to look at Cao Ang appreciatively, and then said: "Wen Ruo, you will immediately ask Your Majesty tomorrow to order Lang Wangpu to go to Jiangdong, appoint Sun Ce as the commander of the cavalry, and concurrently serve as the Taishou of the Huiji, and replace his father as the Marquis of Wucheng." raised an army to crusade against Yuan Shu, and instructed Sun Ce to say that if he could make great contributions on behalf of Han in this battle, he would still have the position of a rebellious general here, and there was no candidate for the Marquis of Wu. As for Lu Bu, he was temporarily allowed to serve as the pastor of Xuzhou. ”

The voice fell, only to hear a burst of embarrassing laughter suddenly from outside the hall: "Guo Jia is late, please forgive the sin, if it is difficult to forgive, you should be punished with three glasses of wine... No, it is a fine of thirty rods and thirty rods. Cao Cao raised his head suddenly when he heard this, his face was first happy, and then it flashed away, and he pretended to be slightly angry and said: "Guo sacrificial wine is such a big shelf, and the three poles of the sun have just come, it seems that the future government meeting, I have to let Gu personally go to the house to visit and invite, right?" ”

Cao Ang turned his head to look, only to see the appearance of the person who came to the door less than thirty years, a pale cyan robe, a thin and white face without a beard, and the grooming was very clean and refreshing.

Hearing Cao Cao's words, Guo Jia was not only not afraid, but bowed down with a smile and said: "Thanks to the love of Ming Gong, Guo Jia will not dare to forget it for a while." Looking at Guo Jia's appearance, Cao Cao, who has always been majestic, couldn't help but smile bitterly and shook his head: "Hmph, you have a good calculation, but it's a pity that you are drunk in your wine country, and Lone really doesn't dare to go, otherwise, if you get into a prodigal anger, who will Lone go to complain to?" ”

The hall that had been silent and serious suddenly burst into laughter, looking at Guo Jia who was just laughing with an embarrassed face, even Cao Ang couldn't help but be surprised. I saw Cao Cao smiling and waving his hand: "Sit down, you haven't woken up from a hangover, and you've been standing for a long time." ”

But seeing Guo Jia hehehe, he smiled and said: "Jia knows that he is wrong, so he thinks hard about meditation, and finally thinks of a strategy, so as to determine the matter of Yuan Shu's rebellion, after Ming Gong listens, he should know Guo Jia's remorse." ”

Cao Cao laughed and said: "Yuan Shu's rebellion, when Fengxiao was hangover, Gu and the civil and military forces already had a plan, and there was no need for you Guo Da to show off again." Guo Jia couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this, and then said, "Oh? I don't know what the plan of Ming Gong and the generals has decided? ”

After hearing Cao Cao's method of summoning Lu Bu and Sun Ce out, Guo Jia's pale face was stunned for a moment, and then he smiled: "I don't know who offered such a good plan?" coincided with Guo Jia, and after today's government meeting, Jiadang and his face were revealed! After speaking, he turned his head and looked at everyone carefully, and then looked at Jia Xu and said: "Haha, it must be Jia Gong who came up with this good strategy!" ”

Jia Xu was still indifferent, and in the face of the laughing Guo Jia, he still said with a calm face: "Jia Xu is stupid, how can there be such a good plan, this is planned by the eldest prince and Mr. Wen Ruo on behalf of Ming Gong, and he really doesn't do Jia Xu's business." ”

Guo Jia was slightly stunned when he heard this, and then turned his head to look at Xun Yu, but saw Xun Yu gently raising his head at Cao Ang's side, and then he was relieved, turned his head and smiled: "It turned out that the eldest prince came up with this good plan for the Ming Gong, admire, admire." ”

Cao Ang's face couldn't help but feel a little feverish, and he robbed others of their clever plans, and made people admire themselves. "Guo Sai wine is too famous, Cao Ang just has this idea, if there is no Xun Gong, I am afraid it will be difficult to implement."

Guo Jia looked Cao Ang carefully up and down for a long time, and then turned his head to Cao Cao and said: "Since Ming Gong has no great merit with me today, Guo Jia will attach two more small plans to the eldest prince's strategy, thinking that it is the icing on the cake." When Cao Cao heard this, he couldn't help but immediately said: "Fengxiao has something to say, but it doesn't hurt to say it." ”

I saw Guo Jia gently sweep his sleeves and said with a smile: "General Anton Chen Yu, now stationed in Haixi, can be ordered to fight with Sun Ce and Lu Bu to fight Yuan Shu." In addition" Guo Jia glanced at Jia Xu without leaving a trace, and continued: "You can order Wancheng Zhang Xiu to send troops to Huaixi, join Liu Xuande's army, and ask him to pass on the edict to Liu Biao on his behalf, and ask this Han clan to raise troops to attack Nanyang County." ”

Then, I saw Guo Jia gently raise his left hand and count: "In this way, I Xu Du military horses will go straight to Shouchun." Liu Xuande and Zhang Xiujun horses are the second road, taking southern Henan. Liu Biao's military horse is the third road, taking Nanyang. Lü Bujun was the fourth way, capturing Cai and Chengde. Sun Ce and Chen Yujun were the fifth road, running to the Lujiang River and attacking Yangzhou. The five-way army is coming, not to mention Yuan Shu, even if Lu Wang is reborn, he is afraid that it will be difficult to resist. ”

The words only stunned Cao Ang, yes, when Yuan Shu was the emperor in history, it was less than a few months before Cao Ang's death, and Zhang Xiu and Cao Cao were incompatible. But now it is different, his eldest son Cao is not dead, and Zhang Xiu is also subordinate to Cao Cao's army, Guo Jia immediately proposed this help according to the change of form, and even involved Liu Biao in Jingzhou. Yuan Shu was not on good terms with Liu Biao, and Nanyang originally belonged to Jingzhou, if Cao Cao agreed, and then Zhang Xiu's letter Chen said that it was powerful, it was not impossible for this clan relative to send troops to Nanyang. If this plan is successful, then Cao Cao's southern expedition to Yuan Shu will have two more arms than in history, Zhang Xiu and Liu Biao. The ghost genius Guo Jia deserves his name!

Cao Cao couldn't help but smile when he heard this, and everyone also praised it one after another, who would have thought that the prodigal son, who was late for the government meeting, would be able to point out the general trend in an instant. Cao Ang looked at Guo Jia with a smile on his face, and couldn't help but admire deeply in his heart, this is the talent of the world!

After Cao Cao finished laughing, Guo Jia smiled again: "This matter is settled, and Guo Jia's guilt has been eliminated." But when Cao Cao heard this, he shook his head and said, "No! This policy is the sub-cultivation, not your work, filial piety should be offered again, for the lonely to relieve worries. Otherwise, I will punish you! ”

"Huh?" Guo Jia couldn't help crying and laughing when he heard this: "Ming Gong, the general trend has been decided, where do you let me give advice?" Cao Cao laughed and said: "If you are helpless, then Gu will have to order the cane!" ”

Although he knew that Cao Cao was joking with Guo Jia, Cao Ang still felt that this was a good time for him to have a relationship with Guo Jiatao, "Father, the child has seized the opportunity of Guo Jia's meritorious service, and now he will make a small plan to make his father angry, how about he is still with Guo Gong?" ”

"Oh?" Cao Cao smiled when he heard this: "You come here." I saw Cao Ang laughing lightly: "In the past, my father was supposed to be a general when he first welcomed the saint back to Xu, but who would have thought that Yuan Shao would pick a thorn and pick a bone in this, so that my father had to let the general and the post of captain be with him." Now that Yuan Shu is rebelling, why didn't his father send an edict to Hebei with the order of the Son of Heaven, asking Yuan for this crime of disobedience, and then asking Yuan Shao to expel his brother from Yuan's name, and express his feelings and forgiveness. Then Enwei and Envy were used to announce to the world and pardon Yuan's crime of being punished by Yuan Shu, so that Yuan Shao had to swallow it in his stomach even if he was angry. It's called... Beat a stick and give a sweet date. ”

"Hit a stick and give a sweet date..."Cao Cao read it carefully, and then smiled: "Although it is shoddy, it is also very interesting and interesting." Guo Jia over there squeezed his eyes at Cao Ang and said with a smile: "The eldest prince has a very good plan, the Yuan family is such a traitor, and the Ming Duke blames him in the name of the Son of Heaven, he is resentful in a thousand ways, but it is related to the reputation of the Yuan family in the world, and Yuan Shao is no matter how big the grievance is, he can only show the grace of the Son of Heaven's forgiveness." ”

After thinking about it, the government was dissolved, Cao Ang walked out of the hall and stretched, and said in his heart: "Alas, in a while, it will be the time to go to my uncle's place to practice guns." Fang thought about this, and saw a pale thin hand holding Cao Ang's shoulder, and a laugh sounded behind Cao Ang: "Eldest prince, if there is nothing to do, how about going to float with Jia?" ”
