Guo Jia gratefully saluted Cao Cao again, and then bowed humbly to the full hall of civil and military affairs, and then said his opinion unhurriedly:

"Your colleagues' worries about the future of Yanzhou are very reasonable, and I also think that Liu Zijian, who has already owned the four prefectures of Qing, Hebei, Xu, and Sili, and has soared to more than 300,000 troops and controlled Youzhou through Gongsun Zhan, will attack my Yanzhou after the westward expedition to Chang'an......"

"There may even be such a conspiracy, the so-called westward expedition to Chang'an is just an excuse to confuse us, once the weather warms up, he will lead more than 100,000 elite men and horses gathered in Luoyang, and attack Yanzhou with lightning speed, because as long as Yanzhou is occupied, which connects the land of the four wars, the Xuzhou, Qingzhou, Jizhou and Sili regions occupied by Liu Zijian can be connected!"

"At that time, there will be no one in the Han world who can stop him from conquering the hegemony of the world."

Without waiting for the panicked crowd to discuss again, Guo Jia continued to say loudly: "The above is just my own secret speculation, but we can't be sure that Liu Zijian will immediately send troops to attack our Yanzhou just because Yanzhou is threatened, and the biggest possibility is that Liu Zijian will wave his army to Chang'an, save the young emperor and the surviving ministers of civil and military affairs of the imperial court, welcome back to Luoyang, rebuild the imperial court, and revitalize the dynasty." ”

"Because Liu Zijian himself is a prince of the Han Dynasty, he has always been loyal to the royal family and the imperial court, and he has no two hearts, which I believe you will not see."

The Tang Chinese martial arts officer couldn't help but nod frequently, and even the generals such as the Cao brothers and Xiahou Xuan, who had a tough attitude, had to admit that Liu Cun had never had any disrespect for the emperor and the imperial court. In the years when the princes of the world abandoned the emperor and the imperial court. Liu Cun still pays tribute every year. Showing great loyalty, even appointing a small miscellaneous general, Liu Cun, who has great power, will strictly follow the system to play the imperial court, so that this performance not only won the unanimous praise and admiration of the people of the world, but also won the respect of Yanzhou's civil and military forces.

Guo Jia smiled with satisfaction: "Everyone, no matter whether Liu Zijian finally wields Chang'an or attacks my Yanzhou, it is impossible to launch it in the current season of heavy snow and cold winds, and the 100,000 Qingzhou troops that have gathered in Luoyang in recent days also need to rest and make preparations before the battle." We still have plenty of time to work out what might happen. ”

"Therefore, Guo Jia implores you not to worry, as long as you are calm and work together to discuss well, you will definitely be able to come up with an effective solution."

Cao Cao nodded to Guo Jia, who had retreated to his original position, and looked at the full hall of civil and military who had calmed down and discussed in a low voice, but in the face of such a difficult situation, no one could come up with a countermeasure in a short time, and finally Cao Cao could only reluctantly announce the dissolution of the meeting, leaving only Cao Ren, Guo Jia, Xun Yu and Xun Yu and Cheng Yu who had just returned from Luoyang. Small-scale core meetings continued.

After the tense debate lasted for more than half an hour, Xun Yu, who had not expressed his attitude, finally spoke under Cao Cao's gaze: "Lord." The subordinates thought that it was the best policy for the lord to go to Luoyang in person. ”

Everyone was awe-inspiring in their hearts, and they quickly understood the true meaning of Xun Yu's words, and they all turned their eyes to Cao Cao, whose face was uncertain.

Cao Cao weighed it for a long time, and truthfully said his concerns slowly: "I don't hide it from you, in fact, during this time, I have been thinking about whether to meet Liu Zijian and talk openly and honestly, but I didn't expect that after he captured Pengcheng, he would lead his troops to Luoyang so quickly, and when I received the letter of apology sent by him, he had already arrived in the western part of Yanzhou and was about to enter the Tiger Prison Pass." ”

"In the past few days, I have been figuring out his intentions, speculating about his next move, the more I think about it, the more I feel the crisis, and the more I think about it, the more I feel panicked, but one thing I can be sure of, as Feng Xiao said, he will not attack me Yanzhou before he waving his master Chang'an to welcome back the young emperor."

"Judging from Liu Zijian's character and morality, even if he wants to attack and annex Yanzhou at that time, he will greet me in a grand manner before launching, and in the name of the court and the well-being of all the people in the world, persuade me to give up Yanzhou and conquer the world with him...... Don't be surprised, he would! ”

Cheng Yu sighed faintly: "My subordinates believe what the lord said, Liu Zijian didn't even kill Yuan Benchu, the sworn enemy of the turtle in the urn, which is admirable!" ”

"Mr. probably forgot about Lu Fengxian, who died under Pengcheng, and the army of 40,000 tigers and wolves under Lu Fengxian, didn't Liu Zijian also kill the killer and show no mercy?" Cao Ren spoke out to disagree.

Cheng Yu immediately said solemnly: "May I ask General Zixiao (Cao Renzi), what did the general think when he received that Lu Fengxian died under Pengcheng?" ”

Cao Ren was stunned for a moment, and under everyone's smiling gaze, he had to truthfully say what he felt at that time: "I am shocked, but also a little happy, after all, few people like the capricious Lu Fengxian, and the 40,000 Bingzhou and Xiliang armies under his command are all beast armies that burn and loot and do all kinds of evil, and no one cares about their lives or deaths...... It's better to die, otherwise it will be a headache to face in the future. ”

A low laugh rang out, and Cao Cao also smiled: "Now Zixiao understands, right?" ”

Cao Ren nodded heavily: "I understand, the reason why Liu Zijian's killing of Lu Fengxian and his 40,000 tiger and wolf division is not criticized by the princes and the people of the world is completely the result of Lu Fengxian's own destruction, in the eyes of the people of the world, Liu Zijian and his army that assisted Xuzhou represent justice and morality, for the princes of all walks of life, Lu Fengxian, who was reprimanded as a slave with three surnames, has always been a big trouble that no one wants to face, Liu Zijian killed him just to make everyone worry!" ”

"However, I am afraid that the princes of all walks of life are not very comfortable in their hearts, Liu Zijian's power is too great, and he has formed a huge threat to all the princes."

Cao Cao nodded with satisfaction: "Well said!" In the future, you should analyze and consider things like this, and you must not be swayed by emotions. ”

"Thank you, lord!"

Cao Ren accepted the teachings with joy and sincerity.

Cao Cao looked around and solemnly said his decision: "I have thought about it, accept Wen Ruo's suggestion, go to Luoyang after the New Year, and have a good talk with Liu Zijian, even if you can't keep Yanzhou in the end, you must make the last effort, and you will not give Liu Zijian any opportunity and excuse to make trouble unless it is absolutely necessary." ”

Xun Yu and the others nodded frequently with relief, Guo Jia smiled and asked: "Lord, if Liu Zijian really wants to wield Chang'an, it is very likely that he will rescue the young emperor and those useless courtiers as he wishes, and after returning to Luoyang, he may also exercise the strategy of coercing the Son of Heaven to order the princes." At that time, I am afraid that the lord will also be unable to serve as the pastor of Yanzhou. ”

Cao Cao laughed: "If that's the case, I'm likely to grit my teeth and bear it, after all, we can't beat him, even if we don't want to, we have to accept it...... I want to see what Liu Zijian did after he really rescued the emperor, and how he treated me Cao Cao and the princes of the world, haha! ”

Cheng Yu predicted worriedly: "My subordinates think that as long as Liu Zijian successfully rescues the young emperor and revives the dynasty, at least half of the princes who have divided the world will be compromised with Liu Zijian." ”

"Of course, occupying Yangzhou, the ambitious Yuan Highway will definitely work against Liu Zijian, and at that time, Liu Zijian, who owns half of the Han Dynasty, will probably lead hundreds of thousands of troops to drink the Yangtze River." (To be continued......)
