Welcoming Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty to Xuchang is a masterpiece of Cao Cao.

When he first mentioned this proposal, only Xun Yu agreed, and vigorously explained the urgency of welcoming the emperor and the benefit of the future struggle, saying that this was a matter of "great shun", "great strategy", and "great virtue". Later, due to Cao Cao's insistence and some strategies, the Han Emperor was welcomed to Xu County and renamed Xuchang.

Cao Cao's material security and moderate respect for Emperor Xian really received the great reward he expected.

Emperor Xian granted Cao Cao Jieyue, recorded Shang Shushi, appointed Si Li's lieutenant, moved the capital to Xuchang, and appointed him as a general, and actually obtained the status of a military general who was high above all civil ministers.

Although Emperor Liu Xie of the Han Dynasty had no worries about food and clothing in Xudu, he also had nothing to do.

In August of the first year of Jian'an, Cao Cao did three things: killed Zhongtai Chong, Shangshu Feng Shuo, etc., which was called "seeking guilt"; Feng Dong Cheng, Fu Wan, etc., is called "rewarding merit"; Posthumously awarded the shooting sound captain Fu Jun, called the "Festival of Death".

Since then, he has stepped up his efforts to cut off dissidents and increase his power. He first challenged the most influential Sangong and dismissed the Taiwei Yang Biao and Sikong Zhang Xi; secondly, he killed Zhao Yan; again sent troops to recruit Yang Feng to relieve the worries of the close soldiers; Finally, on the one hand, in the name of the Son of Heaven, he condemned Yuan Shao and dealt a blow to his arrogance, and on the other hand, he ceded the general to Yuan Shao to stabilize the enemy.

Cao Cao was smooth sailing at this time, but unfortunately there was one thing that made him very depressed.

His most important advisor died, and this person's name was Xi Zhicai.

This person is not mentioned in the romance, but most of Cao Cao's early actions were directed by him.

This person was recommended by Xun Yu, after Xi Zhicai's death, Cao Cao shouted that he lost Xi Zhicai, who can help me.

In fact, before Xi Zhicai died, he recommended a person to Cao Cao, who was named Guo Jia.

Mr. Guo's opportunity has come.

So Mr. Guo washed himself clean, put on beautiful clothes, and prepared to step onto the vigorous stage of the history of the Three Kingdoms.

In fact, before Cao Cao invited Guo Jia, he also asked Xun Yu what he meant, because Xi Zhicai was also recommended by Xun Yu.

Xun Yu even said that Guo Jia was a great talent.

Then Cao Cao ordered someone to invite Guo Jia.

Let's first introduce Mr. Guo, which is the etiquette before appearing.

Guo Jia was born in Yingchuan, he had a vision when he was a teenager, and when he saw that the world would be in chaos at the end of the Han Dynasty, he lived in seclusion after the age of 20, secretly befriending Yingjie, and did not associate with the world, so not too many people knew about him.

When he was 21 years old, Guo Jia traveled north to see Yuan Shao, and said to Yuan Shao's advisers Xin Ping and Guo Tu: "A wise man can measure his master prudently and thoughtfully, so that he can make meritorious contributions and fame." Yuan Gong only wanted to emulate Zhou Gong's Corporal Lixian, but he didn't know the truth of using talents. Thinking a lot and lacking the essentials, like to plan but not decisive, it is really difficult to save the country from danger with him and build the great cause of being the king and hegemonic! So he left Yuan Shao from then on.

In this way, Guo Jia has been idle for six years.

Mr. Guo is also very cautious in choosing the stage, preferring to be unemployed at home and spend every day drinking rather than settle for himself.

Until Mr. Cao came to please.

The first reason why Guo Jia chose Cao Cao was that when Guo Jia came to Cao Ying, Cao Cao personally greeted Guo Jia for ten miles and connected him to his camp.

You say that a big leader in charge of several provinces will personally travel ten miles to ask you to help him give advice, or be an official, what do you think?

The first thought must be that I feel that I am really bad, and the second thought is that I think this person is really reliable.

The second reason for choosing Cao Cao is that Cao Cao is also very bad.

took Guo Jia and entered Cao Ying, so the two discussed the world's major affairs, Guo Jia was 15 years younger than Cao Cao, but he knew Cao Cao's ambitions well. The two chatted all night.

Just ask such a big leader who can talk to you for two all-nighters, unless it's playing online games.

But Cao Cao did.

The importance of this meeting was no less than that of the later "Longzhong Pair".

When Cao Cao asked Guo Jia about the situation in the world, Guo Jia broke through the key point and suggested that Cao Cao take advantage of Yuan Shao's attack on Gongsun Zan to eliminate Lü Bu first. This not only allowed Cao's army to expand its strength, but also prevented Lü Bu from threatening Cao's army from the flank in the decisive battle of Cao Yuan in the future.

Cao Cao asked Guo Jia again, what is the most critical quality as a strategist? Guo Jia said that war is the same as playing chess, there is no war that is not planned in advance, familiarity with the art of war is only the beginning, and the advantages and disadvantages of military advisers lie in on-the-spot adaptation.

Guo Jia's clear and thorough analysis made Cao Cao see a bright future. After hearing this, Cao Cao sighed: "Whoever makes loneliness a big thing must be this person." After Guo Jia left the camp, he was also overjoyed and said, "God is also." ”

Guo Jia was promised by Cao Cao the position of military advisor to sacrifice wine, to give advice to Cao Cao's Quartet campaign, and to serve loyally.

What? Is it a military priest's sacrificial wine?

Dear, the military priest's sacrificial wine has nothing to do with wine.

The military priest sacrificial wine is an official name specially set up by Cao Cao because he felt that Guo Jia had no qualifications, but wanted to reuse it.

Unprecedented.

Guo Jia is the first military advisor to sacrifice wine, which is equivalent to the chief strategist.

Sacrificial wine, chief, the meaning of the director. Originated from the sacrificial custom, it is the honorific position of the banquet and the sacrificial wine.

That's not the chief strategist, that's not the chief strategist.

However, Guo Jia also made a lot of efforts for the position of military advisor sacrificial wine, and it was not until two years later that Cao Cao officially announced Guo Jia's appointment to this position.

Cao Cao is a smart person, no matter how bad you are, you must have a probationary period, see the effect first, but you have to give a big cake in the early stage.

Once you draw a cake, you want to eat it, and if you have a goal, you will have motivation.

That's it for Mr. Guo's appearance.

But it is said that the things of this world are indeed changing rapidly.

In the just-finished Yuanmen Halberd Shooting, Lu Bu helped Liu Bei get Yuan Shu's soldiers and horses. But he heard the news that Lu Bu sent troops to attack Liu Bei.

There's no way, for the sake of turf, there's really no reason to talk about it.

Lu Bu came to attack, Yuanmen shot a halberd in July, and Liu Bei was defeated in September Xiaopei, abandoned his wife and fled.

In October, Liu Bei defected to Cao Cao.

Cao Cao Su came to value Liu Bei and treated him very well, appointed him as the pastor of Yuzhou, and provided him with military rations, increased his soldiers, and made Liu Bei collect scattered soldiers and take Lu Bu in the east.

Yang Xi didn't interfere in these things.

It's not that I don't want to, but it's really too far away, and it has something to do with Yang Xi.

Besides, Yang Xi's second child was born in September, ten male drops, and Yang Xi named him Yang Xing, which means Daxing.

There is one thing, but Yang Xi wants to insert a lever, which is planned.

Sun Ce raised troops from Danyang, crossed east to Zhejiang, and attacked Huiji County. Huiji Taishou Wang Lang sent troops to defend Guling City on the coast of Zhejiang.

Wang Lang is a good person, Yang Xi wants to save it, and he is a talent, so he can use it.

The key is that if Sun Ce takes Huiji and integrates the eastern part of Danyang, Wujun and Huiji, then the territory will be larger, with a population of more than one million.

In addition, Sun Ce is subordinate to Yuan Shu, Yuan Shu occupies a quarter of Jiujiang and Lujiang, and the two of them add up to a total of four counties, so if you go all out to recruit troops, you can get more than 100,000.

Yang Xi wants to strangle this symptom, at least to stabilize the current situation.
