Three days later, Cao Cao entered the city, and the people in the city lined up on both sides to welcome the army into the city, which made Cao Cao very surprised, and then asked Zhang Liao and other cadres to learn what Cao Zhi did, and they were happy in their hearts.

Of course, Cao Cao was overjoyed, but he would not forget the business, and after entering the city, he immediately summoned his subordinates to the army and civil forces in the original Assassin's Mansion to discuss the pursuit of the Yuan brothers.

"Do you know where the Yuan brothers fled?" Cao Cao's first sentence pointed directly to the ultimate core.

Jiao Touch immediately came out: "Lord Yu, just now the spies have reported, the two of them have fled to Yuyang, ready to go out of the customs and go to the Hu Ren Dun Department!" ”

"Is the news true?" Cao Cao asked coldly, once the news is wrong, so the decision may make people want to cry without tears.

Jiao Touch immediately promised: "Dare to guarantee with your head, and never dare to deceive Cao Gong!" ”

Cao Cao looked at Guo Jia. The latter naturally knew what Cao Cao meant, and nodded slightly. Seeing that Guo Jia recognized the news, Cao Cao immediately looked around and asked, "The army can rest for three days, and then you can pull out the camp and pursue!" ”

But less than two days, there was news from the scouts, Yuan Xi and Yuan Shang fled to Yuyang, seeing that people everywhere were panicked, and it was expected that it would be difficult to resist Cao's army, so they immediately entangled thousands of men and horses and drove to Liaoxi, intending to gather heavy troops with the Hu people in Liaoxi and raise troops to the south.

Cao Cao once again convened the civil and military forces to discuss.

Now that it is autumn, the temperature is getting cooler, and in the north, you can feel the chill in the morning and evening, if you can't win quickly, I'm afraid it will have a great impact. But if Yuan Shang and Yuan Xi are allowed to exist, sooner or later they will inevitably gather the Hu people, and they will become a disaster in the north. This is also the purpose of Cao Cao's convening of the people's discussion.

Everyone said to attack and retreat, but none of them said a suggestion that would convince Cao Cao and satisfy him, and his brows furrowed slightly.

At this time, Zhang Liao came out and said: "Lord, Liao has a word!" ”

Cao Cao saw that it was Zhang Liao and nodded: "Speak!" ”

Zhang Liao continued: "My lord, the current capital is the place where the Son of Heaven is. Now that the son is in Xudu, the lord is far away from the north, if Liu Yong forcibly sends Guan Yu to attack Xudu in a big way, occupy it and order the Quartet, then ...... I'll wait for the big things to go. I hope the lord will think twice before acting! ”

Zhang Liao's words Cao Cao didn't expect it, but when someone else said it at this moment, he was suddenly scared into a cold sweat.

Everyone was shocked and silent.

Cao Cao was undecided, and wanted to ask Guo Jia, but Guo Jia was a little unwell yesterday, resting in a courtyard, and failed to come.

Cao Cao had no choice but to suspend the proceedings, and then personally went to visit the small courtyard where Guo Jia lived.

Without waiting for Cao Cao to speak, Guo Jia asked, "The lord is here to pursue the Yuan brothers?" ”

Cao Cao was impressed in his heart, and he was going to say some gossip, but since this was the case, he didn't shy away from it and admitted it directly.

Guo Jia coughed a few times and continued: "Ahem...... Is the lord worried about the emptiness of Liu Yong and Xuchang in Jingzhou, and sent Guan Yu to attack the city? ”

Cao Cao nodded: "Exactly!" Fengxiao is really a ghost! I don't know what you mean? ”

Guo Jia shook his head and continued: "Ahem, don't worry, the lord doesn't have to worry, Guan Yu does have the strength to attack Xuchang, but Liu Yong will not agree!" The lord only needs to concentrate on pursuing the Yuan brothers. ”

Cao Cao couldn't figure it out, since he had this kind of strength, why wouldn't he do it, according to what he thought in his heart, if he was Liu Yong, he would definitely forcibly capture Xuchang.

Guo Jia did not answer Cao Cao directly, but asked rhetorically: "When he captured Xiapi, Lu Bu once said, "What Ming Gong suffers is not more than Bu." Cloth is now served, and the world is not enough to worry. Ming Gong is a foot general, and Ling Bu is a horse general, so the world is not enough to worry about. "Why did the lord still hang him that day?"

A descendant once commented: "Lu Bu has done many injustices, his ambitions are obvious, and he is unusable; The remnants are still there, and the military spirit is still there, and it cannot be released; Jackals and tigers, many incidents, not to be imprisoned. When Lu Bu died, Cao Cao could go to a great disaster, strengthen the army, cut off the remnants of his back road for his own use, and give Liu Bei Shunshui's favor. And Liu Bei can take revenge on the shame, revive the morale of the army, and recover the lost territory. Isn't this beautiful for the two of them? Therefore, Lu Bu can only die. Cao Liu is such a hero, and the pros and cons are tacitly understood. Therefore, the real meaning of each question and answer is not in Lu Bu, but in each other. Cao Cao's question was asked knowingly, in order to lead Liu Bei to say something. ”

Hearing Guo Jia's words, Cao Cao was immediately stunned, suddenly woke up, laughed, and said: "Confused! Confused! ”

Cao Cao immediately got up and bowed to Guo Jia: "I have such a character as Fengxiao, it is really the heavens that favor me Cao Cao!" Tomorrow, if there is no army to pursue, these two thieves will be executed! ”

"No!" Guo Jia suddenly said yes loudly, and immediately coughed because of the violent reaction in the past, "Cough, cough, cough, if you chase like this, it will be difficult for the lord to catch up." Soldiers are fast. Now that the potential expedition has too much baggage and is moving slowly, it is inevitable to be on guard if the other party is aware of it. It's better to leave the baggage, advance quickly with light troops, and attack them unprepared, and you will definitely be able to win a big victory! ”

Cao Cao thought about it for a long time and thought it was true, but there was a new problem that became a problem in his heart: "If you follow what Feng Xiao said, you will definitely be able to win." However, Liaoxi borders the Hu people, the folk customs are fierce, there are Xiongnu, Wuhuan and other ethnic groups as disasters, the terrain is complex, if you have no intention of being familiar with the terrain as a guide, I am afraid that everything will come to naught. ”

Guo Jia smiled slightly: "What's so difficult about this?" But the lord has forgotten that General Duliao is rarely assisted by his people? If you ask him, there will be someone available! ”

Cao Cao suddenly remembered that when he and Yuan Shao were fighting in Guandu, there was a Youzhou Taishou who led the army to defect, and he was named General Jianzhong and supervised the six counties of Youzhou, and now he was reminded by Guo Jia that he finally remembered this person. In terms of familiarity with the terrain, naturally no one can compare with the command of this land snake. Cao Cao was overjoyed, and hurriedly sent someone to pass Xian Yufu to see him.

Guo Jia is also a person, a "ghost talent" person, naturally has the wisdom to know people, and the recommended Xian Yufu is naturally available, and within three days, Xian Yufu was recruited, and at the same time, he also brought a well-known figure who made Liu Bei regret his loss.

Cao Cao asked Ji and Xian Yufu, but the latter didn't say much, and hurriedly pulled a person next to him and said: "Lord, please look at this person, if you talk about strategy, this person will be ten times more than Fu, if you talk about the wisdom of Youyan's characters, you should put this person first!" ”

Cao Cao's heart was even more strange, and he hurriedly asked, "Who is this?" ”

Xian Yufu said: "This person is Tian Yu, the country let go, Yuyang Yongnu people, the first from Gongsun Zhan, after the fall of praise, Fu learned, he recruited it for a long history, although the reputation is not obvious, but enough for Wang Zuozhi's talent!" ”

Cao Cao thought in his heart that this Xian Yufu was overestimating Tian Yuer and others, but before he could show it, a person was suddenly helped in by his entourage at the door, but it was Guo Jia.

"This is Tian Guorang?" Guo Jia asked.
