Now that the plan has been decided, the next step is how to deploy, how to make Cao Sun believe that Ye Zhao sent troops to Jingxiang, these two are not easy to fool, especially Cao Cao, as an old opponent, and has already suffered losses in Ye Zhao's hands, and knows the strength of Ye Zhao's army, it is not easy to deceive Cao Cao.

"The minister thinks that although he can't trick Cao Cao into sending troops, although Sun Ce knows that our army is strong, he doesn't know that our army is powerful, so you can start from here" Guo Jia stood up and smiled at Ye Zhao.

It's not easy to deceive Cao Cao, but there is still a play to deceive Sun Ce, this is not to say that Sun Ce is easy to deceive, but the intelligence acquisition of the two sides is not equal, when Ye Zhao did not have a territory, he had already begun to establish a professional intelligence spy agency, these years have never fallen, Ye Zhao fights, and he also attaches great importance to intelligence, others are soldiers and horses before the grain and grass are moved, and Ye Zhao is the soldiers and horses are not moved, intelligence first, for what characters are under Sun Ce's command, the strategy of governing the place, the strength and weakness of the army and even the battle record, Ye Zhao's intelligence agencies all have detailed data for reference.

Of course, Sun Ce, as the prince second only to Ye Zhao today, must have similar institutions under his command, but one thing is certain, Sun Ce's foundation is actually weaker than Ye Zhao and Cao Cao, and he has not risen for a long time.

Moreover, the two sides have not fought each other so far, so Sun Ce's toughness against Ye Zhaojun is probably only superficial, and he doesn't know how strong Ye Zhaojun's army is.

"And that Sun Ce's command was originally a naval army, and if he didn't practice fighting in the Central Plains, if he couldn't drive him back as soon as possible, wait for Sun Ce to live in this Central Plains for a few years, and recruit Qingxu Zhuangyong, and then try to defeat him, I'm afraid the loss will be even greater." Guo Jia said with a smile.

"Sir." Hua Xiong hugged his fist at Guo Jia, frowned, and said: "The places where our army borders with Sun Ce now are all along the river, and the Jiangdong soldiers and horses are the best at water battles, and it may not be easy for us to cross the river!" ”

Bordering Sun Ce is the section of Qingzhou by the Yellow River, which is the estuary, although it is not as wide as the Yangtze River, but even the narrowest place, there are more than two hundred steps, this distance, if it is usual, naturally nothing, the northern princes, are not good at water battles, it is not difficult to cross the past, but in the face of the Jiangdong Army, which is good at water battles, it is not smart.

"Wen Zheng has forgotten, how did Xiahou Yuan attack Luoyang?" Guo Jia looked at Hua Xiong and smiled.

Hua Xiong was stunned, what is the matter with Xiahou Yuan? However, when other people heard this, they reacted, the Yellow River will be frozen for a period of time every winter, Xiahou Yuan's surprise attack on Mengjin and then directly attack Luoyang is to take that opportunity, if it weren't for Ye Zhao's safety considerations, he didn't put the grain and grass in Luoyang, then all of a sudden, let alone capture Jizhou and Youzhou later, it would be good to be able to hold the Tiger Prison Pass.

This is also the biggest difference between the Yellow River and the Yangtze River, the Yellow River will be frozen every winter, but the Yangtze River is not like this.

"Before that, the two generals Fang Yue and Ding Li can be ordered to strengthen the ferry and make a strict defense, so that Sun Ce thinks that our army has no intention of attacking." Guo Jia smiled and said: "If this battle can win Qingzhou, you can use Mount Tai as the boundary, and drive that Sun Ce to Xuzhou, then there will be no advantage of the naval army, Sun Ce is not enough to trouble, and our army can concentrate forces on three sides to surround Cao Cao, and annihilate one by one, as long as Cao Cao is destroyed, there will be no main public enemy in the Central Plains." ”

"The minister suggested that the lord could plan in Jingzhou." Li Ru smiled at Ye Zhao and said: "At least before the lord annihilates Cao Cao, Jingzhou will maintain the situation of the two sons fighting, and when the lord determines the Central Plains, then go down Jingxiang, and General Gan Ning will go down the river from Yiling to attack the Jingzhou water army, and the main force of our army will try to force the Han River, then I am afraid that Jingzhou will surrender without a fight!" ”

"What about Xuzhou?" Guan Hai scratched his head and said.

"Xuzhou is temporarily left to that Sun Ce, if Sun Ce completely retreats to Jiangdong, our army is weak, if Sun Ce retreats to Jiangdong, it is not easy to cross the river, but if Xuzhou flows out, a steady stream of Jiangdong soldiers and horses will be consumed, and when Sun Ce exhausts Jiangdong's troops, it is not difficult for our army to cross the river again!" Guo Jia smiled.

So far, basically Ye Zhao's next strategy for the whole world has been set in the general direction so far, and the next thing is how to implement it, it is not easy to deceive Sun Ce, a character who has both civil and military skills, for this reason, Guo Jia personally asked Ye Zhao for orders to go to Gaotang to join Ding Li, and asked Ye Zhao for the right to command Fang Yue and Ding Li, and asked a group of craftsmen to accompany him, and the others also went their own way, Xu Rong secretly gathered troops in the Bohai Sea to prepare to cross the river in the south, and at the same time set up checkpoints on various major roads in Jizhou, In particular, the situation must be strictly investigated, and no one will be allowed to pass without the approval of the government.

After setting the strategy, Ye Zhao dismissed everyone to prepare, and there is still a period of time before the beginning of winter, so it is time to prepare.

The crowd dispersed, but Guan Yu stayed, looked at Ye Zhao with a somewhat complicated gaze, and bowed his hand and said: "Lord, there will be something to ask for in the end, and I beg the lord to agree." ”

"But what about Liu Bei's wife?" Ye Zhao looked at Guan Yu and said with a smile.

Guan Yu nodded silently: "My brother has been adrift for half his life, but it is not easy for him to have a son in middle age, although he is his master now, but after all, he is a brother, and he will ...... the end."

"Human nature, Yun Chang can actually make a break by himself, but since Yun Chang has spoken, tomorrow he will escort Liu Bei's family into Jingzhou with a team of envoys, which can be regarded as giving Yun Chang a strong momentum." Ye Zhao said with a smile.

Guan Yu didn't mention it, Ye Zhao almost forgot about this stubble, after all, Liu Bei was not in a hurry, Mrs. Gan was accepted by Cao Cao, and Liu Bei didn't say anything, as for the rest of the family, Ye Zhao remembered that there was an old lady, and a son was named Liu Feng by Liu Bei, this is not the godson of Liu Bei in history, but a genuine parent-child, it seems that the names of Guan Yu's first two sons, Liu Bei is afraid that he has already planned in his heart.

However, Ye Zhao doesn't care what name people want to give their son, Guan Yu now wants to send Liu Bei's family back, and Ye Zhao also wants to put a few nails in Jingzhou, as for Liu Bei's family...... Although Liu Bei's official position is big now, in fact, what he controls is only the power of a county, and with the current pattern, even if Liu Bei really has a chance to make a career in the future, what he can plan is only the land of Jingxiang, as for other places, there is no place for Liu Bei, so now whether it is Ye Zhao, Cao Cao, or Sun Ce, they have not put Liu Bei in the position of the enemy, in short, they are not worthy.

"Now that the last general is loyal to the lord, how dare he be arbitrary?" Guan Yu solemnly saluted, although he had a brotherhood with Liu Bei, but Ye Zhao's kindness to Guan Yu was no less than Liu Bei, and even far surpassed Liu Bei, not only gave Guan Yu a stage to show his personal strengths, but also gave Guan Yu the opportunity to realize the revenge in his chest, from Shuzhong to now, it has been more than ten years, not to mention Guan Yu, the entire Guan family has taken root under Ye Zhao, at this time, even if Guan Yu is asked to meet Liu Bei in person, Guan Yu will not be able to go back.

"Go and bring that Liu Bei's family, here will prepare an envoy group, and when Liu Bei's family arrives, they can be sent to Jingzhou." Ye Zhao nodded with a smile.

"Thank you, lord, the last general will leave!" After Guan Yu saluted, he said goodbye and turned to leave.

Looking at Guan Yu's back, Ye Zhao couldn't help but smile.
