Guo Jia went to Liu Bei, where was there to ask for help, it was completely from Liu Bei.

If Liu Bei hadn't been afraid of Zhang Yu, it is estimated that he would have ordered Guo Jia to do it a long time ago.

Especially Liu Bei, seeing that Guo Jia still looked leisurely and leisurely, he was even more angry.

However, why is Guo Jia so angry with Liu Bei?

Guo Jia, of course, did it on purpose.

So doesn't Guo Jia want Liu Bei to cooperate and resolve the crisis in Youzhou?

Of course not, Guo Jia naturally has his own plans.

Although Liu Bei didn't do anything to Guo Jia, he also issued an eviction order to drive Guo Jia out.

"This Liu Bei, life is so hard, this Xuzhou Mudang." Guo Jia shook his head and said after he came out.

Yes, Liu Bei, who is a pastor in Xuzhou, has a tight life.

Because Xuzhou is really poor now.

Xuzhou is suffering from a money shortage, and it is very serious.

A large amount of copper coins were sucked away by Zhang Yu, and the people had no copper coins in their hands to use, so Xuzhou's taxes were naturally greatly reduced.

And Liu Bei has been expanding his troops since he came up, which requires a lot of copper coins.

And Liu Bei's prestige is not enough, and his relationship with some families is not very good, so he doesn't have so much money, and he raises money everywhere as soon as he comes up, but it's still not enough.

In this way, Liu Bei's life is naturally tight.

But for now, Guo Jiake doesn't care about this, he left Xuzhou and went to Yanzhou.

Cao Cao of Yanzhou worked hard, and at this time he had established his own academy in Yanzhou, and there were more than 100 students in the academy.

Yes, there are only more than a hundred people, unlike Jiangdong College, which has absorbed students from all over the country at this time, and there are already three thousand students there.

It's not that Cao Cao doesn't work hard, but there is no way.

The children of the family, who have a family education, and hold their own identity, refuse to go to the academy to study, and the poor students want to go, but there are a few of them who have a foundation.

Cao Cao can't start teaching from a child.

Unlike Koto, there are so many elementary colleges that start with children.

There are tens of thousands of children studying, and when they grow up, hundreds of students will be available to colleges and universities every year, and many more will be in the future.

Therefore, Cao Cao understood how far-sighted Zhang Yu was, and at the same time, he also understood that it was too difficult to learn from Zhang Yu.

It would take a lot of courage and money to support such a plan.

A few days later, Guo Jia met Cao Cao and was greatly valued by Cao Cao.

"Bong-hyo, please." During the banquet, Cao Cao raised a glass to Guo Jia.

Guo Jia didn't dare to hold it up, and hurriedly thanked him in return.

This time, Cao Cao asked the civil and military forces to accompany Guo Jia, which shows how much Cao Cao attaches importance to Guo Jia.

At the banquet, the crowd did not talk about much.

Although Guo Jia came on order, he was not in a hurry at all.

On the first day, he accepted Cao Cao's banquet, and on the second day, he rested for a day under the pretext of being tired from the journey.

On the third day, Guo Jia went to find Cao Cao.

Cao Cao received Guo Jia, and at the same time Cheng Yu and Xun You were present.

"Feng Xiao came to my Yanzhou, but it was for the original attack on Liaoxi?" Cao Cao said bluntly.

Guo Jia glanced at it for a week, then stroked his beard and said, "Yes, it's for this." ”

Several people present guessed it, and they were not surprised at all.

Cao Cao asked again: "I don't know what Zhang Zifan wants Cao to do?" ”

Cao Cao is a decisive person, without the slightest politeness.

Guo Jia smiled for a while and said, "Of course, General Cao sent troops to attack Yuan Shao's rear." ”

Cao Cao was also not surprised, pondered for a while and said, "You can discuss, I don't know what benefits Zhang Yu can give Cao?" ”

"No good." Guo Jia replied immediately.

This answer made the faces of the other three people present stunned.

Is this here for help?

"Haha, Brother Fengxiao, did you get drunk the day before yesterday and didn't wake up?" Cheng Yu laughed and said.

Guo Jia became serious, and then said with a straight face: "No, I'm not joking, let General Cao send troops, my lord really won't give any benefits." ”

The three of them were stunned again, is there such a thing?

The three of them looked back and forth, not knowing what Guo Jia was going to do.

After a while, Cao Cao let it go, half-leaned back in his chair and said, "Since this is the case, then please tell Brother Fengxiao, how do you persuade me to send troops?" ”

"The whole world knows that my lord is greedy for money and lustful, how can he offer benefits to ask you to send troops? Therefore, it is impossible to ask our Lord to give good. Guo Jia said very rogues.

Cao Cao was calm and not angry at all.

Cheng Yu and Xun Yu frowned, thinking.

After a while, Guo Jia said again: "My lord also said that General Cao is a smart man and will send troops to help." As for how far it can go, it all depends on General Cao's courage. ”

"This Zhang Zifan is really worthy of it, and his attitude of asking for help is really unforgettable." Cao Cao said.

"I don't need to say that you also understand, if Yuan Shao gets the land of Sizhou and stabilizes the rear, and then he will wave his army south, General Cao will bear the brunt." Guo Jia said.

"This is Zhang Zifan's confidence?" Cao Cao said.

Guo Jia nodded very sincerely, and then said: "My lord also said that the next time Meng De needs to send troops to contain Yuan Shao, he can not take money. ”

Several people present are smart people, this Guo Jia has already come up with the bottom line, and then it depends on Cao Cao's attitude.

"Please go down and rest first." Cao Cao said.

Guo Jia stood up, saluted them, and left on his own.

"This Zhang Yu is really a maverick." Xun You shook his head and said.

Cao Cao was silent for a while and then said, "Two military advisors, do we want to send troops to help Zhang Yu?" ”

Cheng Yu said: "Zhang Yu is obviously very confident, and we must know the truth that our lips are dead and our teeth are cold. ”

Xun You also said: "This Yuan Shao is already a behemoth, with millions of troops, and he has already shown his teeth to us, Zhang Yu's request is really difficult to refuse." ”

Cheng Yu and Xun You are both interested in sending troops.

This dispatch of troops is a major event, and Cao Cao has to be cautious.

Cao Cao nodded, and then said: "To send troops, it is necessary to send troops, but what is the scale and to what extent?" ”

This is the hardest part, and it is also a headache for them.

Sending troops is to send troops, even if you don't fight Yuan Shao, you must try to contain it, and you can't let him easily destroy Zhang Yu.

If Zhang Yu is destroyed, then Yuan Shao can only send troops to attack Yanzhou or Xuzhou, and will not attack other places.

And most likely, it is to invade Cao Cao.

Therefore, try to hold Yuan Shao as much as possible, but also buy time for yourself.

Zhang Yu and Guo Jia both understood this, so when they came to persuade them, they didn't make any big senses, or they didn't say anything, and they didn't even promise any benefits.

When asked how many troops to send, Cheng Yu and Xun You had different opinions.

Cheng Yu asked Cao Cao to actually invade Qingzhou, it would be best if he could occupy part of Qingzhou, and if not, he could contain Yuan Shao, while Xun Yu asked Cao Cao to create an atmosphere without actually sending troops.
