Everyone gathered, and when the seven people who came after sat down one after another, Cao Cao turned his head sideways to look at Gu Nan and spoke.

"Lu Bu and Tao Qian raised troops to attack Qingzhou together, Mr. thinks, what is the chance of victory?"

Several people had already received the text before rushing over, so they naturally understood what Cao Cao was talking about.

Yanzhou Lu Bu united with Tao Qian of Xuzhou to attack on the grounds that Cao Cao did not get the permission of the imperial court, but forcibly occupied Qingzhou and did not go, and the situation was urgent.

Cao Cao talked about business, and even Cao Hong and Xiahou Yuan, the two restless people, had solemn faces, although they were muddy, it didn't mean that they didn't know the severity.

Although Cao Cao has just surrendered more than 200,000 Qingzhou Yellow Turbans, the elite is only tens of thousands, plus Cao Cao's own original troops, and Qingzhou's troops, it is only about 100,000.

These forces are not weaker than any other state, but they are dwarfed by two states at the same time.

If you want to ask what the odds are, the people here only dare to say forty percent.

But Cao Cao can't afford to lose, and forty percent is too little for a battle that can't be lost.

Everyone frowned, Gu Nan was wearing a hat, and he couldn't see his expression clearly.

Cao Cao's face was flat, but he was not so relaxed when he held his hands on the table.

Until Gu Nan slowly arched his hand and said.

"General, when there is an eighty percent chance of winning."

Everyone in the audience looked at the gentleman in white in a daze, thinking that they had misheard. Xu Yan two states, neither state can be easily won, the two states together, where is the ninety percent chance of winning.

The corners of Cao Cao's mouth curled, and his hand pressed on the table.

"Good, eighty! Sir, will the plan be settled? ”

Eighty percent is enough for him Cao Cao.

"Lu Bu got Tao Qian's help because the general's name is not right, but is it justified for him Lu Bu to join the army in Yanzhou?"

Gu Nan asked rhetorically, Cao Cao was stunned for a moment, and then his eyes lit up.

Yes, he, Lu Bu, is also a person who is not right.

"Yanzhou said that there are 100,000 soldiers, but it should be less than this number that can be used, and more than 100,000 soldiers in Qingzhou are available at any time. Therefore, Yanzhou is compared with Qingzhou, and Yanzhou cannot be compared. ”

"Although the general does not have the name of Qingzhou Thorn History, after the alliance of the princes, the general is obvious to all in the world, and he is also famous abroad."

And Lu Bu followed Ding Yuan in his early years, and worshiped him as his father-in-law, what happened after that? It was to kill Ding Yuan and defect to Dong Zhuo. When he arrived at Dong Zhuo's account, Dong Zhuo was killed again. How can such a person who is so uncertain be able to bring peace of mind? Therefore, Lu Bu is a general, and Lu Bu cannot be compared. ”

Gu Nan stretched out two fingers and asked the last question.

"Yanzhou is not better than Qingzhou, and Lu Bu is not better than a general. Then why did Tao Qian help Lu Bu instead of the general? ”

At this point, everyone has already understood, and it is said that the odds of winning are less.

This battle is said to be 90%, or even 10% of the chance of winning, can be believed.

Whether it is strength or reputation, Cao Cao has an advantage over Lu Bu.

If Tao Qian helped Lu Bu to attack Qingzhou, he would definitely use more troops than Cao Cao to attack Yanzhou. In terms of reputation, Cao Cao is also much more credible than Lu Bulai.

Therefore, no matter whether this Xuzhou Tao Qian is a Han minister loyal to the Han family, or a prince who wants to stand on his own, as long as Cao Cao contacts him, he will defect.

Thinking of this, the original argument was endless, and he once said that if he didn't ask for help, he should retreat, and his face was complicated and his heart was cold.

The soldiers and horses of Yanzhou and Xuzhou are far from arriving, and even this gentleman in white has only seen the military situation in one sentence, and he has already counted what Tao Qian, who is thousands of miles away, thinking to death.

No matter why Tao Qian wants to help Lu Bu, and no matter what kind of person Tao Qian is, Lu Bu is better than Cao Cao, and this battle has already been lost.

Zhiduo is close to the demon.

Some of them looked up at the thin-looking man in white.

That's what you're talking about.

"Rustle."

The rain in front of the mansion was a little lighter, and about an hour ago, the people in Cao's mansion had dispersed one after another.

After that, there was probably no one to come, and the guards guarding the door were lazy, yawning occasionally. After all, standing in front of the door all the time is really a boring errand.

Occasionally, the rain outside would blow under the eaves and hit the guards' shoulders, and the guards could only look sideways in distress, hoping that the rain would stop sooner, or change shifts earlier.

The footsteps fell on the water pool accumulated on the road, and trampled the reflection in the water pool.

A young man walked up to the door of the house, carrying a bag in his arms.

"Excuse me, here, but Cao Mansion?"

A polite-sounding voice came, and the guard at the door looked over.

It's a scribe, although his whole body is soaked in the rain and he looks a little down, but it's not rude to the scribe guards.

"This gentleman, this is Cao Mansion, I don't know who Mr. is?"

"Yes." The young man breathed a sigh of relief, for he had been searching in the city for almost a day, and at last he had found it.

Salute and said: "In Xiaxun, Xun Wenruo, ask to see General Cao, I wonder if you can help me report it?" ”

In most houses, it is difficult for such guests to enter. However, Cao Cao had instructed that as long as a Wensheng warrior came to the door to ask for a meeting, he would let him in.

What's more, this person looked polite, so the guards just glanced at each other, and then moved away: "Sir, please come in first, I'll wait for this to go to Tongyu." ”

"Well, thank you." Xun himself was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect the guards to be so talkative.

He came by himself, and without the name of the Xun family, he thought that it would take a lot of effort to meet Cao Cao. Now, it's too simple.

Church.

The rest of the people had already left, and only Gu Nan and Xiahou were left.

Several people sat at the table, Cao Cao asked people to put the wine on the table, and drank it without saying anything, he hadn't touched this thing for a while.

"During this period of time, I was sitting at this table and approving official documents, which was really boring." Cao Cao drank the wine in the bowl in one gulp and placed the wine bowl heavily on the table.

His alcohol consumption was really not good, and after this bowl, his face was already slightly red, and he waved his hand happily.

"It's rare to be here today, and you won't get drunk and go home!"

"Good! My Lao Hong hasn't drunk for a long time! Cao Hong laughed loudly, holding the wine bowl, and his voice could be heard outside the hall.

Li Dian, who was sitting beside him, rubbed his ears helplessly and drank slowly.

"Mengde, it's rare today, why don't we wait and go for some fun together?"

Xiahou Yuan was halfway through his words, and he winked at the other people, giving a look that a man understands.

"Ahem, ahem." Cao Cao didn't know if he was choked, and suddenly coughed loudly.

The rest of the people also silently opened their eyes and didn't look at Xiahou Yuan.

Without waiting for Xiahou Yuan to react, Xiahou on the side bumped into him with a black face, leaned into his ear and whispered.

"The gentleman is still here, what are you talking about?"

Xiahou Yuan's old face turned red, and he patted his head in a scornful manner: "Sir, I'll punish myself with a drink!" ”

"It's okay, I don't mind."

Gu Nan didn't know whether to purse his mouth helplessly or frustratedly, looking for fun

Several people in the hall laughed, but a guard suddenly walked up from the side, walked to Cao Cao's side, leaned over and said.

"General, there is a gentleman outside the door who asks to see him, claiming to be Xun, Xun Wenruo."

"Xun?"

Cao Cao didn't want to see anyone at this time.

But after listening to the name and thinking about it, he seemed to have heard of it. Back then, when he was an official in Luoyang.

Gu Nan, who was eating vegetables on the side, stopped with his hand.

"Mengde."

Just when Cao Cao was wondering whether to see this person, Gu Nan spoke up and looked at Cao Cao with a straight face.

"This man should be seen."

Cao Cao paused for a moment, then smiled and waved his hand: "Okay, since Mr. said to see him, then call him up." ”

When the gentleman said this, he should know the man and attach great importance to it.

What would the person who can be called the gentleman's attention look like? He also had some interest.

The Xiahou people on the side also changed from indifferent to looking at the door with interest.

The guard nodded and retreated, and it wasn't long before a man walked up the hall.

But that made everyone here stunned.

It was a young man, drenched, with a few strands of hair hanging down on the side of his face, and a bag in his arms, completely like a down-and-out scholar.

However, there are some things that are different from ordinary people, this young man's eyebrows are stellar, his posture is straight, and he looks at the hall with a calm bearing in his eyes.

The young man walked slowly to the front of the hall, and looked left and right at the hall, which was in the middle of a banquet.

He had foreseen what the meeting with Cao Cao would be like, but he never thought that it would be in a banquet.

After standing for a moment, the young man suddenly burst out laughing, heartily.

Cao Cao was puzzled for a moment, raised his eyebrows, and asked with a smile.

"I wonder what this gentleman is laughing at?"

"Hahaha." The young man shook his head.

"I'm laughing at General Cao, the army of Xuzhou in Yanzhou is coming, and I'm still drinking and laughing here, it's really bold."

It's just that he didn't know that he was a little late.
