Guo Jia's strategy should be relatively safe.

Because so far, the relationship between Cao Cao and Lu Bu is not bad. Especially in the battle of Jingjiao, Cao Cao helped and conquered Nanyang, Changsha, Xiangyang and other places one after another, and returned them to Lu Bu. He also asked Cao Ren to intercept Zhuge Liang on the Yangtze River, causing Zhuge Liang to be defeated.

If it weren't for Sima Yi, it was very likely that he would be the last prince to be attacked.

Even now, the situation is very good.

Lü Bu crusaded against Liu Bei and burned the war to Sichuan and Shu. Cao Cao's Hanzhong County is next to Sichuan and Shu, with an army of 200,000, and it is completely possible to wait for the opportunity. Or help Lu Bu and continue to maintain friendly relations. or help Liu Bei and Yuan Shao to recover the Central Plains.

"The policy of filial piety has made me see the hope of the imperial court." Cao Cao said slowly.

did not hesitate to praise Guo Jia's advice.

Although waiting for an opportunity to act will discourage the enthusiasm of the generals, it is more prudent to consider the overall situation.

Xun Yu said with a smile: "Why didn't Fengxiao say it earlier, I thought... You want to curry favor with Lu Bu again. ”

"Lu Bu's strength is getting stronger and stronger, and it has exceeded my expectations, if he blindly retreats, he will definitely perish. Only by finding the right moment and giving Lu Bu a fatal blow can it be possible to turn things around. ”

Guo Jia stared at the map behind Cao Cao, a trace of helplessness appeared on his face, and said: "If with the danger of Sichuan and Shu and the strength of Yuan Shao, you can't suppress Lu Bu, then this world..." ”

"Ahem."

Cao Cao coughed lightly twice, and did not let Guo Jia continue the rest of the words.

"Bonghyo, what do you think is the best time?" Cao Cao changed the subject.

Guo Jia replied: "The best time... It was Yuan Shao who crossed the Yellow River, occupied Xuzhou, and had the tendency to march to Yangzhou. In the Sichuan-Shu battlefield, Lü Bu's attack did not go well, and he had to transfer troops from Jingzhou. At that time, the king of Wei will be able to fight with all his strength and enter Huainan first. ”

"As long as you can occupy Shouchun and control Lu Bu's subordinates and families, you can be invincible."

"Good...!"

Cao Cao seemed to have eaten an excitement meter, fantasizing about the moment that appeared in his mind.

The generals also saw the dawn of victory and began to exchange ears.

Xun Yu smiled and said, "Let's wait and see..." ”

Jizhou.

Yecheng.

Yuan Shao was the second prince to know about Lü Bu's southern expedition.

The long-awaited fighter plane has finally appeared. The militant faction under Yuan Shao's command began to become active again, and he made suggestions to Yuan Shao every now and then that they would gather the elite of various states and go straight to Yangzhou.

Yuan Shao did not rush to agree.

Because he remembered the Battle of Jingjiao, Cao Cao and Lu Bu allied and killed Zhuge Liang who was defeated. If he attacks Xuzhou now, will Cao Cao help Lu Bu again? Enemies of yourself?

I hesitated for a few days...

Hua Xin, the envoy sent by Cao Cao, finally came to Yecheng.

He did not rush to see Yuan Shao, but learned through careful work that Guo Tu, the strategist under Yuan Shao, and the trial match, all strongly recommended Yuan Shao to march into the Central Plains.

Hua Xin went to see them first.

Guo Mansion.

Guo Tu and the judge were discussing how to persuade Yuan Shao, when they suddenly heard that Hua Xin was coming to visit, Guo Tuxi called with a smile: "Invite him in." ”

"No."

Hua Xin walked into the living room and saluted Guo Tu and the judge: "I've seen two adults." ”

"You're welcome."

Guo Tu and the judge also returned the salute.

Once seated.

The judge said: "Cao Mengde must have sent an envoy at this time, there must be something important, right?" BGI people may wish to speak bluntly. ”

Guo Tu instructed Yahuan to serve tea.

Hua Xin hugged his fists and said: "Two adults Mingjian." Lu Bu led the army to attack Liu Bei, if he succeeded, it would be difficult to have an opponent in the world. Therefore, the King of Wei sent me to advise the King of Zhao, hoping that the King of Zhao could join forces with the King of Wei to defeat Lu Bu! ”

"Haha..."

Both the judge and Guo Tu laughed.

Hua Xin didn't know why, and asked suspiciously: "Why are the two adults laughing?" ”

The judge smiled and said, "When you walked into the living room just now, we already guessed what you meant. Cao Cao wanted to form an alliance with our lord and fight against Lü Bu together. You have to show sincerity! ”

"Sincerity?"

Hua Xin thought for a moment and asked, "What do the two adults mean... Is it for my Lord to support the money? ”

"No, no, no...."

The judge said, "My lord is not short of money and bread. Only the soldiers and horses and the attitude of the King of Wei are missing. The King of Wei had helped Lü Bu many times, and his relationship with Lü Bu was ambiguous. Is it true that you are suddenly allied with us now? I still want to use my lord's strength to weaken Lu Bu. And then sit back and wait for it? ”

"If the King of Wei is sincere in forming an alliance, he should do his best to attack Yangzhou. As long as the soldiers and horses of the King of Wei move, our lord will immediately respond and set up a horse and infantry army of 500,000 to march south! ”

"This..."

The trial broke the mystery in one sentence, which made Hua Xin fall into a passive situation.

Before he came to Jizhou, Guo Jia instructed that he could not promise Yuan Shao to attack Lu Bu before Yuan Shao, and he had to find a way to drag Yuan Shao down, so that Yuan Shao and Lu Bu could fight first.

As it stands, it seems difficult.

"Could it be that Cao Cao really wants to sit back and watch it come to fruition?" Seeing that Hua Xin didn't speak, the face of the judge suddenly darkened.

"No, no...."

Hua Xin reacted and immediately replied: "The two adults are too worried, King Wei and Lu Bu have formed an alliance... It's a last resort. Now that Lu Bu wants to attack Liu Bei, it is equivalent to breaking the arm of the King of Wei, how can the King of Wei sit idly by? The king of Wei said that as long as the king of Zhao was willing to send troops to attack Xuzhou, the king of Wei would respond immediately.... ”

"No, I can't. Cao Cao must fight Yangzhou first! The judge said in an unquestioning tone.

"That's right!"

Guo Tu also supports matching.

"Uh..."

Hua Xin looked embarrassed. I didn't dare to agree to Guo Tu and the trial, and I was unwilling to give up. There were a thousand schemes floating through his mind, and he killed them one by one.

At this moment, Yuan Shao sent someone over: "Two adults, the king is invited." ”

"Oh?"

Guo Tuhe's eyes lit up, and he said in his heart: "Could it be that Yuan Shao figured it out and decided to go south?" ”

Because according to Yuan Shao's temperament, if he was unwilling to go south, he would not have summoned them. At least in Yuan Shao's heart, he has leaned towards the strategy of attacking Xuzhou.

The judge said excitedly: "We'll go right away." ”

"Two adults, can you take me with you?" Hua Xin stepped forward and asked.

"It's fine. When you see King Zhao, you repeat what you just said. I believe that King Zhao will definitely agree to send troops. Guo Tu said.

"Yes."

Hua Xin felt a little strange, but he couldn't tell what was strange.

Zhao Wangfu.

Yuan Shao sat on the upper seat of the living room, with an anxious expression.

On both sides of the living room are generals such as Yan Liang, Wen Chou, Zhang Jaw, and Gao Ran.

See this lineup...

Guo Tuhe subconsciously thought: "It must be the generals in the army who are asking for battle, Yuan Shao can't bear it...." ”

"I've seen the king."

The three of them walked to the middle of the living room and saluted Yuan Shao.

Yuan Shao raised his hand and said, "No courtesy, give a seat." ”

"King Xie."

Yuan Shao's eyes were always staring at Hua Xin.

Guo Tu said: "King Yu, Hua Xin is a messenger sent by Cao Cao, and he wants to form an alliance with us and fight Lu Bu together!" ”
