Knowing that Cao Pi was going to lead the Black Mountain Army to attack Youzhou, Cao Shuo sent troops first.

He was accompanied by only 30,000 standing troops and a few elite troops under his command.

Accompanying Cao Shuo, if Xun Chen is not counted, there is only Tian Feng as a strategist.

His lineup of generals is quite strong, with Lu Bu, Zhao Yun, Chen Zhi and others all available.

Cao Shuo led his army to advance to Youzhou, and the news soon reached Cao Pi.

Hurriedly called Wu Zhen to the front, Cao Pi split his head and said, "The eldest brother has sent troops to Youzhou, what should we do?" ”

"The eldest son sent troops without the permission of Cao Gong." Wu Zhen said: "Gongzi has the approval of Duke Cao, in my opinion, Gongzi should immediately lead the army to Youzhou, and strive to kill Yuan Shang and Yuan Xi in front of the eldest son." ”

"It is said that the eldest brother is leading the standing army under his command." Cao Pi said: "You may not know the horror of the Huainan Standing Army. ”

"How scary?" Wu asked.

"Invincible, invincible, invincible, 30,000 men are enough to resist the enemy's 100,000 army." Cao Pi said: "It is very difficult to say how much benefit we can get from going to Youzhou this time. ”

"The eldest son must have seen something." Wu Zhen said: "If the son moves slowly, let alone the benefits, I'm afraid that if I go to Youzhou this time, I won't even get any credit." ”

After staring at Wu Zhen for a long time, Cao Pi stood up violently.

He said to Wu Zhen: "Without further ado, you immediately accompany me to see Zhang Yan and ask him to immediately send troops to Youzhou." ”

Cao Shuo and Cao Pi successively sent troops.

After Cao Cao, who lived in Yecheng, got the news, he was very calm.

Accompanying Cao Cao, Guo Jia asked him: "The eldest son and the second son sent troops to attack Youzhou together, isn't Cao Gong worried at all?" ”

"Worried?" Cao Cao smiled and asked, "What's there to worry about?" ”

"Youzhou is for the eldest son." Guo Jia said: "The second prince is gone, it is difficult to ensure that the soldiers under the command of the eldest prince are not convinced, in case there is some friction between the soldiers of the two sides, I am afraid it will ......."

"It's not impossible that you're talking about it." Cao Cao said: "Although there are drawbacks, it can also let me see which of the two brothers is more open-minded." ”

Guo Jia didn't say anything more.

He was faintly worried about Cao Shuo.

Cao Pi had done some things before, and if Cao Shuo didn't hold a grudge, it wouldn't be like his style at all.

In the past, Cao Shuo was a person, and he would repay him, and he would not leave any room for his opponent at all.

This time to deal with Cao Pi, he must not be as happy as before.

Treat Cao Pi, Cao Shuo has to be calm, otherwise he will offend not only Cao Pi, but also Cao Cao......

"Bong-hyo." Cao Cao said: "Zi Rong and Zi Huan led the army to crusade against Youzhou, what do you think we should do?" ”

"It's time to deal with where Yuan Shang is going next." Guo Jia said: "The eldest son and the second son have sent troops to Youzhou, and Yuan Shang has no possibility to deal with it. However, he is not nowhere to go, and the high-ranking cadres of the prefecture, the Gongsun family of Liaodong, and even Wuhuan are all places where he can go. ”

"What to do?" Cao Cao asked.

"If Gao Ganxiang is involved, when Cao Gong led the army to attack Hebei, he would have already led his troops to come to help." Guo Jia said: "In my opinion, he should have his own calculations. As for the Gongsun family of Liaodong, Cao Gong might as well give them some benefits and see how they react. ”

"These two are easy to handle, how can Wuhuan get them?" Cao Cao said: "I heard that the current Wuhuan King Badun has an unusual relationship with the Yuan family, and if Yuan Shang goes to vote, Badun will definitely help." ”

"I think the two sons will march into Youzhou, and Wuhuan will send troops to intervene." Guo Jia said: "It depends on how the two sons deal with it." ”

Cao Cao nodded and said no more.

Before Cao Pi asked for battle, Cao Cao knew that Cao Shuo would definitely not stand idly by.

The Montenegrin Army was born in the Yellow Turbans and was not constrained by the imperial court in the past.

They entered Youzhou, even if Cao Pi restrained them, they would definitely burn, kill and loot and bring endless suffering to Youzhou.

What's more, Cao Pi may not necessarily be restrained.

From Cao Cao's expression, Guo Jia saw something.

He didn't say anything more, just accompanied Cao Cao along the bluestone path.

"Is my family on the road?" After walking for a while, Cao Cao asked Guo Jia.

"Return to Gong Cao." Guo Jia said: "The ladies are already on the road, and they will be able to come to Yecheng in a few days. ”

"When I was out fighting, I really missed the old and young at home." Cao Cao said: "Fengxiao, you said that people fight for a lifetime, what is it for? ”

"For the sake of power." Guo Jia replied: "With power, with power, you can control the world and control the people of the world in the palm of your hand." ”

Cao Cao shook his head and smiled: "Actually, it's not. ”

"Cao Gong thinks ......," Guo Jia asked.

Pointing at Guo Jia and then at himself, Cao Cao said: "You and I are the same, we fight just to live more stable, just to not be preyed by others." ”

The same thing was said by Cao Shuo.

Guo Jia said: "Actually, the eldest son also said it. ”

"Zirong also said it?" Cao Cao asked in surprise.

"Exactly." Guo Jia replied: "There is a saying in the army of the eldest son, men or, for power, money and women. This sentence is similar to what Cao Gong said. ”

"It's like what he said." Cao Cao said with a smile: "I'll see how he takes Youzhou this time, so that everyone under his command has more power, money and women!" ”

Cao Cao's answer confirmed Guo Jia's previous guess.

Accompanying Cao Cao, Guo Jia faintly felt that the situation of the Cao family seemed to be undergoing subtle changes.

In recent years, Cao Shuo's power has grown too fast, and the soldiers under his command already have the ability to compete with Cao Cao's army.

If it is not restricted, it will not take a few years for Cao Shuo to replace Cao Cao.

And a person like Cao Cao couldn't let that happen.

Supporting Cao Pi is imperative for Cao Cao!

"I plan to hand over Xu Du to Zihuan, and Yuzhou will also give it to him, what do you think?" Cao Cao asked.

"Cao Gong is wise." Guo Jia said: "The second son is an adult, and he has made many achievements in the war with Cao Gong, give him Yuzhou, and you can also see his ability." The Cao family already has an eldest son, and if there are more second sons, Cao Gong will definitely be like a tiger! ”

Looking at Guo Jia, the corners of Cao Cao's mouth twitched slightly: "Do you really think it will be like a tiger with wings?" ”

Guo Jiaying said: "Exactly, the only thing that makes people uneasy is that there is too much moderation between the eldest son and the second son, and it will be difficult for Cao Gong to control in the future." ”

"Bonghyo is still the same as before." Cao Cao said with a smile: "When it comes to important matters, I always say things that seem to be untouched, but people have to think about them in their hearts." I have written down what you said, and I will keep an eye on Zirong and Zihuan at any time. ”
