Not long after, I saw Guo Jia and Xun You suddenly come behind Cao Cao and whispered: "Lord"

However, Cao Cao did not react, and it was not until Xun You shouted a few times that he came to his senses, turned his head to look, and said with a smile: "Fengxiao, Gongda, is there anything wrong?" ”

"My lord, just now Xu Shu sent thousands of people to beat drums and fire arrows at the camp gate, and they spoke foully, but as soon as General Xu Chu led the troops out, they immediately retracted" Xun You sighed.

Cao Cao smiled and admired it very much: "This is a tired strategy, knowing that our army has not had a good rest for three months, and it is already exhausted, this Xu Yuanzhi is really a talent of the country, in the case of the strength of our army, not only is it densely guarded, but it is okay to come to find some trouble, pass the order, the army is divided into three shifts, and take turns to rest"

"No!" After Xun You responded, he said curiously: "Sikong, what were you thinking just now?"

"Cao is thinking, how could he give birth to such a powerful son in the beginning, if Cao had such a son, he would be able to wake up laughing when he fell asleep" Cao Cao sighed.

Hearing this, Guo Jia shook his head, a trace of worry flashed in his eyes, and said: "People are not as good as heaven, our army opened the door so wide that Yuan Shao escaped, but I didn't expect him to go anyway, and in the end everything was occupied by Yuan Xi."

Yuan Shao's death, the news of Yuan Xi's succession has come from Baima, Guo Jia didn't sleep well for two whole days, and the sacrifice was so big, but Yuan Xi, the hidden dragon, was still put on the throne.

"Fengxiao doesn't have to be like this, who would have thought that Yuan Xi's power would be so big, Gao Ran, Zhang He, the two famous generals in the north, were actually accepted by him, and there are also great talents like Xu Shu under his command, they have been hiding in the dark, silently waiting for the opportunity, you feel that Yuan Shao's death is very suspicious" Xun You said in a deep voice.

"Yes! The three-month battle, suddenly such a big victory, our army is naturally in extreme excitement, otherwise with Zixiao's calmness, how could it be? When Guo Jia said this, he looked at Cao Cao's suddenly painful look, immediately closed his mouth, and clenched his fists and said: "Jia is guilty, please punish Sikong"

"It's okay, Zixiao's death has nothing to do with you, everything is Cao's fault, but because of this, Cao can't lose, otherwise how can he be worthy of Zixiao's sacrifice" Cao Cao exuded an indomitable tenacity.

Guo Jia and Xun You suddenly smiled, and Shi Li said: "Sikong is wise"

Cao Cao waved his hand and said solemnly: "Cao thought about it for a long time just now, Yuan Xi, this little guy, is not like Yuan Shao, he is ruthless, forbearing, deep Taoguang cultivation obscurity, and he is even more resolute and decisive in grasping the opportunity, and his command is still full of talents, so he will not make a mistake like Yuan Shao, if it is a confrontation for a few months, our army will definitely collapse completely, and they will all be defeated without a fight."

Guo Jia nodded and said: "In terms of strength, Yuan Xi definitely does not have the advantage of Yuan Shao, our army is not much worse than him because of Jiang Qi and Han Meng's submission, but our army has been fighting for more than three months, and the soldiers are tired and even war-weary, and Yuan Xi's army is not only energetic, but also because Yuan Xi has won Yuan Shao's succession and become the new lord of the north, and the morale is high, if we fight head-on, our army's chances of victory are extremely small."

Cao Cao smiled bitterly and said seriously: "Cao also wants the soldiers to rest for a while, but Cao knows that because of Yuan Shao's death and the defeat of Guandu, Yuan Xi will definitely not let Cao go, he will definitely fight, Cao feels that the most important thing at present is not to win Yuan Xi, because even if he wins, it is useless."

"Sikong Yingming, Yuan Shao died, Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang were also arrested, so there will not be a dispute between the princes of the north mentioned by Feng Xiao, our army took advantage of the situation and easily recovered the plan of the four northern continents, and Yuan Xi, who has the four continents as the background, is indeed not something that our army can completely defeat at present, if you are not careful, you will lose yourself, so you think?" When Xun You said this, he hesitated a little.

"Gongda doesn't have to be taboo, what you think is exactly what Cao Zhi wants to say, the most important thing now is to negotiate peace, let Yuan Xi go back to tidy up the north first, and Cao can also seize this time to seize the south, especially the land of Yizhou and Jingzhou, as long as these two places are recovered, they can be equal to the north, and Cao is completely fearless" Cao Cao said softly.

Guo Jia's eyes froze, and he said: "Jia has two strategies, or you can let Yuan Xi retreat"

"Feng Xiao said quickly," Cao Cao said hurriedly.

"First, there are still many spies of our army in the north, and they were originally planned to be activated when the lord recovers the four continents, but now that the situation is on the side, they can act immediately, and in Qing, and the two states do not wantonly advocate Yuan Xi's rebellion, murder his father, and kill his brother, and completely mess up the entire north" Guo Jia said with a cold look in his eyes.

"What about the second policy?" Cao Cao asked expectantly.

"Son of Heaven, canonize the throne" Guo Jia became serious.

"What!" Xun You was taken aback and said: "Fengxiao, you should know that Han has an ancestral system that cannot be called king unless the surname Liu"

"This Jia naturally knows, but this problem is not big, now the prestige of the Han court has been lost, in addition to the fact that it is not the lord who ascends the throne, it can be done, the emperor's position has always been the most moving, there is the official canonization of the Son of Heaven, in addition to the turmoil in the north, Yuan Xi may be temporarily satisfied, return to the army to completely pacify the four continents, buy time for the lord, and the throne is given, it is the benevolence of the Son of Heaven, but if Yuan Xi accepts it, then in the eyes of some people, Yuan Xi is also a minister who will rebel at any time, but it is just a name, and it can indeed be exchanged for a period of peace, As well as burying a disaster, as long as Sikong is still there, this disaster will exist forever" Guo Jia looked at Cao Cao from afar.

Cao Cao nodded, his eyes flashed, this is indeed a good way, in addition, Yuan Xi is still very young, this suddenly obtained the land of the four continents, and the glory of the Son of Heaven as the king, once he can't hold it a little, he is addicted to enjoyment, and he can't extricate himself, everyone is easy to go from Xin to Yi, but from Yi to Xin, it will be difficult.

"Fengxiao Dazhi, but I still have to add two points" I saw Jia Xu suddenly come over, Shi Li came over, and said solemnly: "Sikong, Yuan Xi fought in World War II, in addition to revenge, he also needs Liwei, and he shows with the victory over Sikong that he is stronger than his father, so let him leave satisfied, in addition to the above two points, there are also two points"

"Wenhe, come on" Cao Cao asked excitedly, Jia Xu is a rare offer!

"First, Sikong needs to pretend to be defeated for a few battles, thoroughly feed Yuan Xi, and give him plenty of fame"

"That's no problem," Cao Cao immediately shook his head.

"Second, Sikong must send a message to Hujiaoguan and Xu Du, because if something goes wrong in these two places, then all the plans will be in vain" Jia Xu became serious.

"The Tiger Prison Pass is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and as long as the 100,000 army does not leave the city gate, it cannot be broken," Cao Cao said unexpectedly.

"Sikong, it's really because it's impossible, it's the most terrifying, because once the impossible becomes possible, it's a devastating blow," Jia Xu said seriously.

Guo Jia nodded, and immediately supported: "What Wen He said is extremely true, Sikong Dang is sending a message to General Xiahou, asking him to defend the Tiger Prison Pass to the death, because once the Tiger Prison is lost, you can directly bypass Guandu and send troops to Xu Du."

Cao Cao's pupils shrank, and he said, "Cao personally issued an order to Yuan Rang."

"Sikong is wise, such four steps can be fully implemented, and it should allow Yuan Xi to withdraw from the army," Jia Xu said.

The corners of Cao Cao's mouth raised, and he suddenly smiled: "That's it, but Cao wants to see this nephew who has been hidden for so long first, you say how good it would be if Yun Chang cut him with a knife, haha"

Guo Jia and Jia Xu were stunned for a moment, and then shook their heads with a wry smile, but their faces were really admiring, because Cao Cao could smile no matter when he was or what kind of difficulties he faced!
