Cao Cao was waiting for the arrival of Zhao Yue in Xuchang, and on this day, he set up a banquet in Xuchang's palace and summoned his ministers to celebrate, in order to enhance the internal cohesion in advance, so as not to look so rusty and abrupt after waiting for outsiders to arrive.

During the banquet, everyone was talking about wine, Guo Jia replaced wine with tea, and saluted Xun Yu a few times, causing Xun Yu to have a red face at the end, and he sat in his position like a mess of mud, waving his hands frequently, saying that he couldn't drink anymore.

Dian Wei was strong, and directly cut a cow offered by the people into several large pieces of beef, put it on the small table in front of him, and bit desperately, usually a mouthful of meat, and a piece of wine, the taste was not pleasant.

Not to mention other civil ministers and military generals, they all drank and chatted about the smooth sailing of the development of the territory during this period. Such a gathering is really the greatest joy within a force in troubled times, the monarch is happy, the soldiers under his command are happy, for a force, there is nothing more important than this.

When he was happy, a herald suddenly came to report, saying that in Shouchun, Yuan Shu, who Sun Ce had broken through, captured many generals except Yuan Shu alive, and Yuan Shu led a few remnants of the army, heading towards Hebei, and seemed to pass through Xuzhou.

The banquet instantly stopped being noisy, and the sound of wine glasses clashing began to pause, Guo Jia smacked the taste of tea in his mouth, and listened to the herald's report with great interest, while the generals wiped a handful of grease stains on the side of their mouths, thinking about where they were going to fight.

According to the situation reported by the heralds, Sun Ce had ordered his younger brother Sun Quan, Zhang Zhao and Zhang Hong to be in charge of the military and political affairs of Shouchun, and he was the defeated general under Yuan Shu, who had killed all the prisoners, and then stationed troops in Jiujiang, which seemed to have the intention of attacking the Central Plains.

When Cao Cao heard this, he couldn't help laughing, and asked everyone present: "Haha, this son of the tiger of Jiangdong is really worthy of his name, I once heard that this Sun Bofu was called the little overlord when he recovered Jiangdong, this time he exterminated Yuan Shu, intending to raise an army to crusade against me, what do you think?" ”

Xun Yu took advantage of the wine, shook his body and stood up, blushing and raging: "Lord, you ...... It's a heavenly soldier, it's for the big man, it's a righteous teacher, what are you afraid of...... Little Overlord! ”

On the side, Cheng Yu hurriedly pressed Xun Yu down, and Xun Yu collapsed on the seat cushion all of a sudden, fainted, and fell asleep.

Seeing this, Cao Cao laughed, laughed, and asked: "Yuan Shu was defeated, and if you want to go to Hebei to join Yuan Shao, you must pass through my territory. ”

Cheng Yu calmed Xun Yu while calmly replied: "Lord, Yuan Shu is a brave and unscrupulous person, even if he is not defeated in the hands of Sun Ce, sooner or later he will be defeated by other princes, it will not be a big deal, in this case, I don't have to care about the opinions of the princes of the world, besides, before the battle of Kuangting, he was defeated before he fled to Shouchun, this time he escaped and borrowed the way, there is already an old hatred, and there is no need to discuss politely with him anymore." ”

Cao Cao nodded, "Well, that's right, Fengxiao, what do you think?" ”

Guo Jia smiled slightly, put down the chopsticks in his hand, and said softly: "Lord, Yuan Shu must go to Xuzhou, just need a letter of paper, and order General Zang Ba to encircle and suppress together with Chen Jue, Chen Deng's father and son, and it is bound to be able to annihilate it, but ......"

Speaking of this, Guo Jia suddenly became a little worried.

Cao Cao asked, "Oh? Just what? ”

Guo Jia said: "It's just that Yuan Shao of Hebei is Yuan Shu's elder brother, if the lord completely destroys Yuan Shu this time, I am afraid that the relationship with Hebei will no longer exist, and I need to think twice." ”

Huainan Liu Ziyang, Liu Ye, is also a celebrity who has been commented by Xu Shao, a celebrity in Runan, he just relied on the bronze medal released by Xu Shao some time ago to take refuge in Cao Cao, and at this moment he is a strategist under Cao Cao.

Listening to Guo Jia's words, Liu Ye pursed his lips and smiled, but did not speak, Cao Cao's eyes were sharp, and he hurriedly stretched out his hand and asked, "Oh, why is Liu Ziyang laughing?" Tell me about it? ”

Liu Ye got up from his position, waved to everyone in the position, and explained: "What the minister laughed at is not for anything else, but for what Guo Fengxiao just said. ”

When Guo Jia heard this, he just smiled with him, and even asked, "What is Ziyang laughing at me?" ”

Liu Ye said: "Fengxiao may not know, although Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu are brothers, but in fact, they are a concubine, Yuan Shu, as a concubine, has always looked down on his concubine Yuan Shao, these two brothers slander each other, intrigue, and have long been known to the world." In the past, Yuan Shu was still in Wancheng, and Gongsun Zan was not broken by Yuan Shao, so Yuan Shao hooked up with Liu Biao in Jingzhou to deal with Yuan Shu together; And what about Yuan Shu? is to collude with Hebei Gongsun Zan to strangle Yuan Shao, isn't this enough to see the relationship between the two? Therefore, this time Yuan Shu suffered, we will annihilate it, Yuan Shao will definitely be happy, how can he raise troops to ask for guilt? I laughed at Fengxiao's lack of comprehensiveness, so I laughed. ”

After saying that, Liu Ye sat down with a smile.

During the banquet, there were words of approval, and even Cao Cao couldn't help but nod, as if he was recognizing Liu Ye's ability and his mastery of current affairs.

However, Guo Jia did not have any embarrassment, it stands to reason that he would be ashamed if his colleagues refuted his opinions, but not only did he not do that, but he smiled more happily than Liu Ye.

Cao Cao also laughed, and pointed at Guo Jia again: "Oh? Bonghyo, why are you laughing? ”

When Guo Jia heard this, he laughed even more happily, and finally couldn't help but stand up, beat his chest, tears flew everywhere, and finally reluctantly endured it, and secretly glanced at Liu Ye, who was so shocked by his appearance that he couldn't laugh.

Guo Jia straightened his clothes and began to say with a straight face: "Lord, the minister laughs at Huainan Liu Zi's fame, but he lacks facts, what he sees has a certain truth, but it is very biased!" ”

Cao Cao couldn't help but lean forward and wondered, "How can you say this?" ”

Guo Jia began to speak at length, "Lord, although Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu are secretly fighting, but it must be a family matter, if the lord takes advantage of the defeat to completely annihilate Yuan Shu, for Yuan Shao, it is an outsider who hurts his own family, Yuan Shao is a person, short-sighted, and it is bound to take a simple relationship between relatives and relatives as the way, how can the lord be safe in the south of the Yellow River?" ”

The more Cao Cao listened, the brighter his eyes became, and finally saw that Guo Jia stopped talking, and hurriedly couldn't help but move his slightly chubby and heroic body, and urged: "Well, Feng Xiao has a point, keep talking!" ”

Looking at Liu Ye again, he was already shy at this time, his hands were supported on his legs cross-legged, his head was lowered, and he didn't dare to raise it again. (To be continued.) )
