Since it was already winter when they got the ondol technology, and the time was limited, Cao Cao's subordinates were not so selfless and selfless, and they only had time to obviously enjoy this kind of thing first.

Cao Cao's subordinates, except for Mao Jue, most of the others are scholars from wealthy families, even if Guo Jia is from a poor family, but he can make friends with the children of a wealthy family like Xun Yu, and he likes to drink very much, which shows that even before he defected to Cao Cao, his small life was also good.

"Lord Qiqi, recently, I just got the news, Liu Bei didn't know why, he suddenly rushed to Pengcheng, he seemed to have a big quarrel with Guan Yu, and after that, he ordered someone to move all the old and young women and children in the county. Because Liu Bei suddenly strengthened the blockade in the county, the people who discovered the matter did not dare to follow up to investigate the matter in detail. As for the situation that has just been reported, it is impossible for the subordinates to guess it for a while. Guo Jia had already thought of an answer to Liu Beijun's sudden harvest of crops that had not grown into crops, but he was not very sure whether his guess was correct this time, so he did not announce it for the time being.

But Guo Jia didn't say it, it didn't mean that others didn't say it, as soon as he finished speaking, Cheng Yu stood up and replied: "Lord, Liu Bei didn't listen to some god stick last year, saying that this year is a year of locust plague, so he bought chickens, ducks and geese in the surrounding area. Could it be that he is doing this now because he has already decided in his heart that a locust plague is about to occur in Xuzhou? ”

Speaking of which, Guo Jia inquired about the news, and at that time, of course, the people who heard this rumor all laughed. If a locust plague had been so predictable, someone would have found this method a long time ago, and no one in these wise people had ever heard of anyone in history who could predict when a locust plague would occur. But why does Liu Bei think so?

At the beginning, no one in Cao Cao's army took this matter seriously, but now after hearing Cheng Yu's explanation, they all laughed out loud again. But among the people present, only Xun Yu, Xun Yu and Guo Jia had a calm face.

Therefore, after listening to Cheng Yu's words, Cao Cao looked at the faces of the three of them and asked puzzledly: "Wenruo, Gongda, Fengxiao, do you think there is anything wrong with this matter?" ”

"Lord, do you think Liu Bei is a fool?" Xun Yu asked rhetorically.

Cao Cao shook his head, Liu Bei's wisdom, martial arts, and politics are far inferior to Cao Cao's reputation, but he is definitely not a fool.

"In this case, a person who is not stupid has done such an unwise act, in the eyes of outsiders, what he did last year was a fool." Xun Yu quickly explained why he asked the question like this, and said, "But, my lord, do you think the fire kang is good to use?" This thing is said to have been learned from a small person named Liu An, but the secret agents sent by Fengxiao investigated for a long time, but they were unable to find out the origin of this person.

Judging from the current situation, we can only conclude from the accent of that Liu An that he is not from Xuzhou or Jianghuai, but seems to be from Guanzhong. The question is, this place in Guanzhong, my lord, all of you here, do you feel familiar with it recently? ”

Zhong Xuan asked on the side, "Brother Wen Ruo, do you say that Jin Jue?" ”

Xun Yu nodded, but did not continue.

"Lord, I'm not afraid that kid is really unlucky. Now, I'm afraid, I don't know when anyone has known in advance about our army's imminent attack on Xuzhou, Liu Bei suddenly did this, it may not be in advance in Pengchengguo to clear the wall! If it is true, in this way, if our army wants to take Xuzhou, the difficulty will increase. At this time, Xun Yu reminded.

At this time, Guo Jia also opened his eyes, and then replied: "Yes, Gongda is very worried!" Lord, in the face of Liu Beijun's sudden change, our army now has two choices.

Either we should completely change the previous plan now, and take advantage of the fact that Lu Bu's army is about to withdraw northward, and Liu Bei's army is tightening its forces and defending with all its might, our army will take the opportunity to take back all the counties of Yuzhou, Henan County and Hongnong County at one time, and then send people to recruit Zhang Xiu, in this way, our army can take these currently borderless lands without spending a single soldier.

Or, there is no need to wait for the summer harvest, immediately send troops to attack Xuzhou, no matter what the reason, looking at the current situation, in Pengchengguo, Liu Bei is definitely not ready to leave a single grass and a grain of grain for our army.

So, my lord, I recommend that this time, we should change our plans as well. In the unlikely event that the rumors of the locust plague are true, the situation will be greatly unfavorable to our army. ”

What Cao Cao didn't expect was that the person who initially tried his best to advise him that the target of the attack in Xuzhou was Guo Jia, and now, he actually took the initiative to change his previous plan.

Guo Jia's change not only made Cao Cao a little dizzy, but this sharp turn made everyone a little dizzy. However, after Xun Yu and Xun You listened, after careful consideration, they had to admit that Guo Jia's worries were not groundless.

Before, everyone had always believed that the goal of the attack on Xuzhou, in addition to curbing Liu Bei and continuing to consolidate his rule in Xuzhou, there was another very important thing, that is, food. Even if it was brutally damaged by Cao Cao's attack, at the beginning, with the efforts of Tao Qian and Chen Deng, Xuzhou was more prosperous than Liu Biao's Jingzhou.

If Cao Cao can take the entire Xuzhou this year, there will be many benefits, first of all, he can relieve the food crisis of Cao Cao's army, secondly, eliminate Liu Bei's henchman, and finally, deter and recruit the Taishan thieves who have been wavering.

"Lord, you can't change your plans! Liu Bei this person, has the heart of the eloquent and the scholar, he will not be willing to be only a courtier, if you don't plan it as soon as possible, it will become your henchman in the future! As soon as Guo Jia finished speaking, Cheng Yu stood up and objected loudly.

Cheng Yu is naturally very reasonable, but if there is really a big locust plague like the first year of Xingping in the world this year, then it will be a move to send troops to Xuzhou at this time.

Fighting a war requires food and grass, Liu Bei is doing this now, it is not good for himself but also harms others, once the war is stalemate, Cao Cao's army can not eat the enemy, it is equivalent to doing useless work, it is better to take the opportunity to occupy more counties and counties, accumulate strength.

Therefore, Guo Jiafang's first proposal is the most secure and most suitable at present.

For a while, the Wenchen generals under Cao Cao were immediately divided into two opinions.
