"General, do you really want to let these thieves go?" Inside the tent, Cao Ang raised his head and looked at Sima Yi with a suspicious expression, "It's okay, at least we saved them this time, which can be regarded as winning their favor, and now they at least owe our army a favor... Now the urgency of delay is to arrange Gan Ning and the others first, after all, there are too many thieves recruited at one time, and it will also disgust my father, so we just need to temporarily deal with Zhou Cang and other famous thieves. ”

Sima Yi raised his head when he heard this, and then asked, "Childe plans to recommend Gan Ning to Lord Sikong?" Cao Ang shook his head lightly and said: "No, Gan Ning is temporarily the general of my house, and he will be recommended after making meritorious contributions in the future." ”

In the third year of Jian'an, Cao Ang and Xu Huang retreated to Cai Mao to join the Kou, and they married Ying, Huai and a group of thieves, of course, what made Cao Ang most happy was that he accepted the general Gan Ning and got a strong helper.

After Wancheng rectified the military horses, Cao Ang, Xu Huang and others immediately returned to Xudu. And Gan Ning personally went to Ba County to recruit his 800 water thieves to belong to Xudu.

Not long ago, Duan Xuan, the general of Guanzhong who conquered Chang'an, and Cao Ren, who set off from Xudu, finally sent back the good news, Chang'an City was broken, Li Dao died, and the Xiliang Army, which had dominated Guanzhong for eight years, finally died out after several changes of ownership, and Chang'an, the western capital, finally returned to the arms of the Han court in name (in fact, to Cao Cao).

And in the middle of Cao Cao's recovery of Guan, shortly after Cao Ang planned to retire Cai Mao, a letter from Hebei reached Xudu. Yuan Shao was finally ready to start going north to conquer Gongsun Zhan. And the content of this letter is almost the same as in history, Yuan Shao's words were arrogant and sharp, and asked Cao Cao to borrow troops and ask for food.

After carefully looking at the letter in his hand for a long time, Cao Cao slowly threw down the letter in his hand, and the light in his eyes flashed for a long time, before he said carefully: "Yuan Shao is so formless, his words in the letter are arrogant and rude, it is really hateful, I want to ask for it, but I can't hate it, what is the plan of the public?" ”

As soon as Cao Cao's words fell, the first reaction of the five most scheming strategists under his command was: The opportunity has come! Yuan Shao, after the fourth and third dukes, dominated the north of Hebei, with countless famous ministers and good generals, and the first prince who fought for the world in the south, has always been like a mountain on the head of Cao Jun, although he has obvious flaws, is indecisive and lacks military strategy; And also made some seemingly shallow mistakes, such as when conquest of Dong Zhuo, for his own benefit, the troops hesitated, and then plotted against his brother Yuan Shu, lost the advantage of the Yuan family's north and south to jointly seize the world, but it is the jade is also flawed, since Yuan Shao can be ranked as the first prince in the world, he also has his strengths, even Cao Cao also privately said that his cronies said: Yuan Ben is familiar with reading military books, and the law Taoluo is also superior, although his people are wide on the outside and taboo on the inside, but the wisdom is higher than that of ordinary people, and his use of troops is not lost to Zhu Jun and Lu Gong. It can be said that I am an adversary.

For several years, Yuan Shaohu was in Hebei, and Cao Cao on the south bank of the Yellow River was constrained everywhere, so that he did not dare to go all out to collect the Quartet. But now that Guanzhong has been decided, Yuan Shu in the south is crumbling, Zhang Xiu is obedient, and Liu Biao can also be suppressed with Cao Ang's strategy, as long as Lu Bu in the east is destroyed, Cao Cao can let go and fight with Yuan Shao with all his might! Now Yuan Shao's northern expedition to Gongsun Zan is a godsend!

Seeing Cao Cao asking, Guo Jia took on the old role of analysis, and said with a smile: "Don't worry about Ming Gong, back then, Han and Chu competed for the world, Gaozu only outwitted him, and although Xiang Yu was brave and strong, he was finally defeated by Gaozu. Today, Shao has ten defeats, the public has ten victories, although the Shao soldiers are prosperous, there is no fear also: Shao is full of etiquette, the public body is natural, and this way is victorious; Shao to reverse, public to be obedient, this righteousness is also victorious; Since Huan and Ling, the government has lost in leniency, Shao has been lenient, and the public has been violently corrected, and this rule has been victorious; Shao wai wide and taboo, many relatives, public and simple, only talented, this degree is also victorious; Shao more plans and less decisions, the public has to make a plan, and this plan is also successful; Shao special reputation, public and sincere treatment of people, this virtue is also victorious; Shao compassion is near and far, the public is thoughtful, and this benevolence is also victorious; Shao listens to slander and confusion, and the public infiltration is not good, and this Ming wins also; Shao is confused about right and wrong, and the public law is strict, and this article is also good; Shao Hao is a false situation, I don't know what the soldiers want, the public is less than the public, and the soldiers are like gods, and this martial arts is also victorious. The public has these ten victories, and there is no difficulty in defeating. ”

Cao Cao chuckled when he heard this, and then looked down at a bamboo slip on several cases, which was sent by Cao Ang to Sikong Mansion in the starry night the day before yesterday, and the letter said: I heard that Yuan Shao wanted to go north to conquer Gongsun Zhan, and his father's wisdom was extraordinary, and he sent troops to send generals like Sun and Wu. Use soldiers like gods, full of wisdom. The march and the way of the army make the child look up and look up, and it is difficult to look at the ridge. If Yuan Shao can be described as a masterpiece of the moment, then his father is the hero of the world, unparalleled in the world. If the father fights with Yuan Shao, the child is willing to advance and retreat with his father, live and die together, and live up to the name of the Cao family. It's just that now the southeast is not peaceful, if our army confronts Yuan Shao, Lu Bu sent troops to invade Xudu, which is not shallow. I hope my father will think about it. ”

Thinking of what Cao Ang said in his letter, especially the sentence "advance and retreat with his father, live and die together", Cao Cao was shocked, and then said solemnly: "What Feng Xiao said is even in my heart, Yuan Shao and I will fight sooner or later." But Xuzhou Lu Bu is really a lonely trouble! Now Yuan Shao's expedition to Gongsun Zhan, I should take this opportunity to destroy Lu Bu first, seize Xuzhou, and then Tushao, Fang is the best plan! ”

Xun Yu, Xun You, Cheng Yu and others were secretly surprised, and they didn't want Cao Cao to have a decision. Only Guo Jia and Jia Xu didn't say much, but they had their own thoughts in their hearts, and suddenly saw Cao Cao show Cao Ang's letter, and ordered the attendant next to him to read it aloud.

After reading it, Xun Yu nodded and praised: "The general has the style of a general, and he doesn't want him to go to Xudu, so he proposed to take Yuan Shao's northern expedition and Dongping Lu Bu, which is really good!" ”

Guo Jia laughed and said: "Haha, the plan of the former general to sacrifice the life of the Son of Heaven and coax the Cai family and other big clans in Jingzhou is also very good, but the "ghost talent" of the latter general is not lost to Guo someone!" ”

Although Cao Cao was still expressionless when he heard this, there was obviously a trace of joy in his voice: "Tomorrow, this kid will arrive in Xudu, and he will not mention this in front of him, so as not to get too carried away with this kid." ”

Guo Jia grinned and said: "The general has been in the south twice, and his merits are outstanding, Guo Jia asked for orders to go to the south of the city of Xu to meet him tomorrow, I don't know if the Ming Duke may allow it?" Cao Cao shook his head and smiled lightly: "You prodigal son, don't take my son to the bad for good, tomorrow is fine, if you can get up, go to the south of the city to meet him." ”

I saw Guo Jia touch his nose and said hesitantly: "Okay, since Ming Gong spoke, Guo will endure it for one night, drink less wine, and go to meet the general." Everyone laughed when they heard this, Xun Yu shook his head and said: "I didn't drink it all night, but it was bitter for you Guo Da Sacrifice Wine." ”

————

At noon the next day, until Cao Ang and Xu Huang's army had entered the gate of Xudu, Guo Jia rode up and down with a drunken smell of wine, and saw Guo Jia, who was still a little shaky after dismounting, Cao Ang couldn't help but smile bitterly, and hurriedly stepped forward to support him and said: "Guo Saijiu, it was another big battle last night, right?" ”

Guo Jia said with a smile: "But it's a big battle, which makes Lao Guo still a little weak." Hehe, since the last time we drank, the general and I haven't had a drink for a long time. ”

Cao Ang touched his head embarrassedly and said: "Brother Guo, forgive me, Cao Ang has been promoted many times since that time, and he has to practice martial arts with his uncle on weekdays, this time is really... Somewhat tight. ”

Guo Jia waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, the general wants Ri to find me, Guo is afraid that he doesn't have time yet!" Cao Ang smiled knowingly, and the two of them walked towards the city while chatting.

"The general's previous letter to suppress Jingzhou is really clever, and Guo Jia admires it?" Cao Ang shook his head and smiled: "Brother Feng Xiao has a good reputation, and his plan is offered by Sima Yi, the head of my house, not Cao Ang's work." ”

Guo Jia was stunned when he heard this: "Sima Yi?" Cao Ang chuckled and said, "Yes, this person is the second son of the Sima family in Hanoi, although he is young, he is quite strategic, and he is currently the head of my house." ”

Guo Jia smiled suspiciously: "Isn't it a pity that such a good material is only for the manager?" Cao Ang just shook his head and smiled, but was speechless. Guo Jia saw that Cao Ang didn't say anything, so he didn't ask anymore, but said lightly: "The general should know that in the Central Plains now, the storm will rise, and from today on, I am afraid that I and the general will have no idle days." ”

Cao Ang knew that what Guo Jia said was about Lu Bu in Xuzhou, and then said lightly: "If we take it easily, then it will not be the number one fierce general in the world." Guo Jia smiled leisurely and said: "During the Battle of Puyang, the general was still in Qian County, I guess I haven't seen Lu Bu yet, right?" ”

Cao Ang nodded lightly, then couldn't suppress the curiosity in his heart, and asked in a deep voice: "Brother Fengxiao, you have seen Lu Bu in Puyang, right?" Don't know what kind of person he is? ”

Guo Jia's smile suddenly disappeared when he heard this, and his face actually rose with a seriousness that is rarely seen on weekdays: "Lu Bu is a majestic man for a while, if he is prosperous and settled, this person will be sick again, but unfortunately, he was born at the wrong time." ”

Cao Ang couldn't help but wonder when he heard this, isn't Lu Bu a villain who forgets his righteousness and repeatedly betrays his master? Why is the evaluation in Guo Jia's mouth so high? Then he pretended to be disdainful and said: "The three surnames are just slaves, and they are also worthy of being on the same level as Huo Dizhi?" ”

Guo Jia showed a smile like a prodigal son on weekdays: "The general has never seen Lu Bu, so he will be like this" Before he finished speaking, he suddenly saw Guo Jia's face flushed, and then he held Xiong's mouth, as if he couldn't breathe, and then suddenly coughed and instigated.

Cao Ang couldn't help but be shocked, and hurriedly stepped forward to help Guo Jia to calm down, when he was young, when Guo Jia slowly raised his head, his face flushed and did not retreat, Cao Ang frowned and said: "Brother Fengxiao, are you uncomfortable?" ”

Guo Jia stroked Xiong with a smile, panted and shook his hand: "It's okay, it's an old problem, the general doesn't have to worry about it." After speaking, he saw Guo Jia cough twice, and then let out a long sigh of relief, but he didn't see Cao Ang's deep and incomprehensible eyes looking at him quite worriedly.
