Chapter Eighty-Eight: Persuasion

Hurried along the way, many thoughts flew in his mind, and inadvertently, Mo Shuyan and the three of them came to the barracks, without stopping, Xiahoudun took Mo Shuyan and Li Dian to the main account, as soon as he entered the account, Mo Shuyan saw Cao Cao coming with Zhang Lie.

"Sir, have you come up with any countermeasures?" Cao Cao asked with a solemn expression.

Although there is no perfect plan, Mo Shuyan finally has some clues, and after thinking about it for a while, Mo Shuyan said in a low voice: "Now that Gongsun Chan has died, the land under his rule will be in chaos, and under the internal and external troubles, the collapse is not far away, and the princes must be on the way, and our army should march first and then make plans." ”

"Falling into the well like this can be regarded as taking advantage of people's danger." Li Dian said with some dissatisfaction.

Without waiting for Mo Shuyan to speak, Xiahoudun had already snorted coldly and replied: "What do you mean by taking advantage of people's danger? If our army does not occupy the territory, the rest of the princes will let them go? ”

As soon as these words came out, Li Dian didn't say anything more, the result was already obvious, and Zhang Lie didn't mean to speak, and then Cao Cao nodded lightly, Mo Shuyan's thoughts were almost the same as his.

Seeing that everyone had no opinions, Mo Shuyan hesitated for a moment before continuing: "I think the whole army should be dispatched and go straight to Youzhou to help Youzhou resist the princes. ”

"Youzhou, the whole army is dispatched to help?" Cao Cao's eyes flashed, as if he remembered something, and stared at Mo Shuyan for a while, feeling a little bad in his heart, but he still chose to believe Mo Shuyan, and did not refute it immediately, wanting to listen to Mo Shuyan's explanation.

Zhang Lie and the others also fell into deep thought, and finally Zhang Lie took the lead in asking: "Why don't you take Youzhou, but help each other?" Even if it is to help each other, if the remnants of Youzhou do not believe it, won't our army cut off its own way back? ”

"yes, that's too risky." Li Dian seconded.

"Not really." Mo Shuyan smiled weirdly, and then continued: "At this time, Youzhou has lost troops and generals, and it seems that it is difficult to resist foreign enemies, but with Liu Xuande and his two generals, whoever wants to take Youzhou will have to lose eight hundred by himself, and our army will first make a big publicity, and then go to help, according to Liu Xuande's temperament, it will naturally accept it, and it will naturally not be a problem to hold Youzhou when the time comes." ”

Hearing this, everyone nodded, believing in the feasibility of this matter, but Cao Cao, as a prince, always had to think more, his expression was solemn, and Cao Cao said in a deep voice: "If it's just to help, I'm afraid there is no need for the whole army to be dispatched, right?" Sir, do you have a follow-up? ”

Cao Cao's question was expected by Mo Shuyan, if this was unexpected, then Mo Shuyan really had to feel that he was overestimating Cao Cao, and took a step forward, Mo Shuyan's voice was lowered a little again, and he said softly: "After defending Youzhou, our army will use the strength of the remnants of Youzhou to attack Jizhou and turn Jizhou into a new territory for our army, which can be regarded as the price of our army helping Youzhou." ”

"What the gentleman is worried about, if it is realized, the power of our army will definitely rise by one class." Zhang Lie's eyes widened and he said.

This sentence naturally resonated in the hearts of the rest of the people, Cao Cao did not hesitate for long at all, and directly waved his hand and ordered: "Pass my military order, assemble the whole army in the shortest possible time, and be ready to set off at any time." ”

"No." Zhang Lie, Xiahoudun and Li Dian said in unison. ’
