"Mr. Guo has a witty remark, the late birds don't eat insects, and it really has a deep meaning, a deep meaning! Mr. Guo rest assured that since the imperial court has a life, Cao will send troops even if he smashes the pot and sells iron, but ...... After all, Cao is only a general of Zhengdong, and Yuan Shu is far away in Huaiyang, so this matter of sending troops ...... It's not right! ”

This Cao Ying is really powerful, his face is not ordinarily thick, and he was exposed by a certain family, his face was not red, and he immediately asked the court for an official. Fortunately, the lord was prepared. At that moment, Guo Jia took out an object from his bosom and handed it to Cao Ying, saying: "Cao Gong has worked hard for the country all these years, and the saint and the general naturally know it, so Guo was specially sent to pass the decree, and the general asked Cao Gong to be the captain." This is the will, Guo will not read it, Cao Gonggong will read it himself! ”

As soon as Guo Jia's words came out, several people next to him were taken aback, and they were promoted to Cao Ying's officials! There must be a reason why the general is willing to make such a big investment. For a while, Xun You, Xun Yu, Cheng Yu and other major strategists under Cao Ying all used their brains, but no one paid attention to that will.

Cao Ying's hands lightly took the holy decree, his face was full of excitement, now in troubled times, an official position is useless and useless, and it is really useful to say that it is useful.

After carefully reading the holy decree, Cao Ying bowed to the west, bowed three times in a row, and said thank you to the Lord Longen!

"Feng Xiao is here, is this just for this?" Cao Ying put down the holy decree and asked tentatively.

Guo Jia laughed and said: "Cao Gongzhi's wisdom is as deep as the sea, Guo Mou made it clear that the Yuan family was deeply favored by the emperor, and they didn't want to reciprocate, but instead raised an army to make a rebellion, and the saint was furious, and the special general sent troops to fight." Guo Jia said that he came here today to ask Cao Gong to ally with him on the order of the general to jointly eradicate the thieves. ”

Cao Ying was stunned after hearing this, Han Jin wants to crusade against Yuan Shu, which is justified, and besides, we have already decided to send troops, what else are we discussing? For a while, I couldn't figure out what Guo Jia meant.

Xun You next to him grew up with Guo Jia since he was a child, he is familiar with his personality, and knows that he will not be untargeted, thinking about Guo Jia's words, he can't help but feel a move in his heart, is the general going to send troops to Hebei, how is this possible? But he immediately denied that idea again, how could it be, although the general was powerful, how could he dare to provoke Yuan Benchu at this time. In today's world, the two Yuan are the strongest, and if the two Yuan are united, the world is afraid that the surname Yuan will be. According to his previous analysis, if Han Jin wants to crusade against Yuan Shao, it is most reasonable to at least join Cao Ying to send troops together.

This is categorically impossible, but if it is not, then what is the reason?

Guo Jia secretly observed everyone's expressions, and when he saw that their brows were furrowed, he couldn't help but guess, and couldn't help but laugh secretly in his heart, no matter how smart and peerless you are, you can't imagine that my lord is bold enough to dare to challenge Yuan Shao's tiger power alone!

"Gongda, since you guessed it, why don't you say it?" Xun You's eyes were puzzled, but he looked aware, Guo Jia knew that this former companion must have guessed something. I can't help but admire him for being worthy of the name of the mastermind under Cao Ying, but it's a pity that such a great talent can't be used by my lord.

Xun You's heart was shocked, "Could it be that the general really wants to reach Hebei?" Crusade against Yuan Benchu? ”

Everyone was shocked and looked at Guo Jia with an incredulous expression. Guo Jia smiled slightly, suddenly got up and said in a deep voice: "The children of the Yuan family plotted rebellion and rebellion, and the army was shocked by the law of the country, and decided to send troops to fight, so Guo Jia was specially sent to discuss with Cao Gong, my lord has a saying, if you talk about the heroes in this world, only he and Cao Gong are two, Cao Gong is loyal, and he will not watch the Yuan family mess with my Han country." ’”

Cao Ying laughed loudly and said, "Does the general really say that, hahaha, thanks to the general's praise, the old man is ashamed!" It is imperative to crusade against the Yuan family, but sending troops is such a big thing, how can you act hastily, Mr. Guo is just resting in the post house now, and how about taking the old man and others to discuss the matter of sending troops? ”

Knowing that Han Jin was going to send troops to Yuan Shao, it really shocked Cao Ying's heart, he really couldn't figure out how to dare to confront Yuan Shao with Han Jin's power, Yuan Jiayu was famous, Yuan Shao's name shocked the world, and according to the four states of Hebei, he was the first prince who deservedly beyond. Han Jin is so bold and reckless, he must have something to fight. And Han Jin's purpose in doing this is what Cao Ying has to consider. Naturally, he wouldn't agree easily.

Guo Jia nodded and said with a smile: "Cao Gong, the stakes in this, with Cao Gong being wise, naturally you can see it at a glance, the opportunity must not be lost and will not come again, Guo Jia is waiting for Cao Gong's good news!" ”

sent Guo Jia away, and Cao Ying immediately discussed with everyone.

"The general did not first eliminate Yuan Highway at this time, but sent troops to provoke Yuan Shao, there must be a deep meaning in this, what do you think?" Cao Ying frowned, and for a while he couldn't figure out Han Jin's purpose.

Xun Yu, who had not spoken for a long time, suddenly spoke: "Lord, the general trend of the world has gradually become clear, in recent years, the princes of all parties have killed each other, competing for territory, only the general is recuperating and recuperating, according to the soldiers, his subordinates heard that the Chang'an generation, the people live and work in peace and contentment, the people's livelihood is prosperous, the business is developed, the merchants from all over the world flock to it, it is known as the paradise of the world, the general has 300,000 recruits, and it is a civil and military general, and there are many talents. It can really be called sufficient money and food, and the soldiers are strong and strong. Now that I have been dormant for a few years, I am afraid that I am going to stir up the wind and rain. This time is just in the name of Yuan Shu's rebellion, and the real purpose is to crusade against Yuan Shao and unify Hebei! ”

Among Cao Ying's several major strategists, Cheng Yu is the most poisonous, Xun Yu is flexible in tactics and unparalleled in his movements, and Xun Yu's overall view is unmatched.

Cheng Yu shook his head and said: "Even if the general is strong and strong, and the money and food are sufficient, if you want to deal with Yuan Benchu alone, I'm afraid it's not an opponent, right?" ”

Xun You said with a smile: "Of course, it is not an opponent in terms of what we know, but Zhongde, how much do you know about the affairs of Chang'an, I have also known Han Jin for a while, and he has always planned and then acted, and never fought uncertain battles, if he hadn't betrayed the court for a woman, I would have almost defected to him." But in terms of this person's ability, we must not be underestimated! ”

Cao Ying nodded, and said in a deep voice: "Yes, what the attack said is exact, but since he wants to crusade against Hebei, what should I do?" ”

Everyone was silent for a while, saying that the next step of their own side is the most important, since they know Han Jin's plan, they must plan from it and strive for the maximum benefit. This is where Cao Ying's interests lie.

After a while, Xun Yu first broke the silence, hugged his fists and saluted: "Lord, in fact, as long as the general sends troops to Hebei, no matter what, it will be beneficial to us. The general dominates the Guanzhong area, and now the division is regaining its vitality and its power is growing, which cannot be ignored. Although Yuan Benchu was powerful, he had just pacified Gongsun Zhan, and the surroundings were unstable, and the two fought each other, killing 10,000 enemies and losing 800 themselves. No matter what, there will be no easy situation for one side. When the time comes, the two sides will drag themselves into the quagmire of war. The lord can take advantage of the situation to sweep the Central Plains. Take advantage of the momentum and grow to have the strength to counter them. When they were exhausted, the lord sent troops north or Guanzhong, and each of them broke through. Do the business of kings! ”

Cao Ying smiled bitterly and said: "Wen Weak, since you know about this matter, then Han Xiuyuan is not stupid, how can he not know, is he sure that he will eliminate Yuan Benchu in a short time?" This is categorically impossible. ”

Xun Yu nodded and said: "What the lord said is true, this matter is really impossible, so the general sent Guo Fengxiao to persuade the lord to go south and crusade against Yuan Highway." With the strength of Yuan Highway, it is naturally not so easy to fight, although there are forces from all sides involved, but Runan is the place where the Yuan family made a fortune, and Huainan is a rich treasure land, to really eliminate them, it is impossible to do it without a year or two, if the subordinates are not mistaken, the general also intends to drag the lord into that side. ”

Xun You sighed, and said for a long time: "The general is determined to eradicate Er Yuan in one fell swoop this time, it seems that the situation in the world is about to change, this hungry tiger is about to come out of the mountain, if the lord does not act, I am afraid that he will be left behind." ”

Cheng Yu nodded and said: "Yes, this is a conspiracy, the general in the name of the righteousness of the imperial court, with the land of Huainan in Yuzhou as the advantage, to force the lord to send troops, it is time for the double anti-strong, it depends on who defeats his opponent first, who can save the first move, lord, this matter cannot be delayed, please make a decision as soon as possible!" ”

Cao Ying raised his head and asked, "What is Zhongde's plan?" ”

Cheng Yu said: "The subordinates have two plans for the main public staff, first, the main public can divide the troops to Yuzhou, attack Yuan Shu, in fact, according to the soldiers, and when the general and Yuan Benchu are exhausted, suddenly take Hebei or Guanzhong." Second, take advantage of the righteousness of the imperial court, with the help of other forces, send troops to take Yuan Shu as soon as possible, and then in the shortest possible time, unify the south, and finally face off between the north and the south. The former is a bit opportunistic, if it is not successful, stealing chickens will not make rice. The latter is safe, and the Lord is invited to decide. ”

Cao Ying rubbed his head, his head began to hurt again, he got up and walked back and forth a few times, and suddenly stopped and said: "Zhongde, I heard that there is a divine doctor in Chang'an, called Hua Tuo, you send someone to invite me to help me see this disease, even if it doesn't work, you have to get medicine!" "Everyone didn't understand what they meant, why did they talk about your head again. However, he figured out the reason for this in an instant, it seems that the lord is going to marry a good general, otherwise how could he send someone to Chang'an at this time, in this way, it is imperative to attack Yuan Shu. Cheng Yu agreed. I was already planning how to send troops in my heart.

"Gongda, you are familiar with Guo Fengxiao's freedom, you can go and probe the mouth, see if you can get some information, Wen is weak, you count the money and food, and prepare to send troops, this time you want to pacify Yuan Shu in one fell swoop, seize Yuzhou, send more spies, pay close attention to those sides of the battle, the old man must play a prestige if he wants to fight."

Xun You agreed to retreat, and Cao Yingyou instructed Xiahou Yuan next to him, "Miaocai, this time I ordered you to be the vanguard, lead 30,000 troops, and go south to crusade against Yuan Shu, but there are those who resist, and there is no forgiveness for killing." ”

Xiahou Yuan, the word Miaocai, was born in Peiguo (now Bozhou City), and his wife was the wife and sister of Cao Ying. Cao Ying was implicated in a case in his hometown, and Xiahou Yuan took it on his behalf. Later, Cao Ying tried to rescue him, so that he could avoid disaster. He is highly reliant on his skills and has always been known for leading troops quickly.

Xiahou Yuan was overjoyed when he heard Cao Ying's first nod to himself, agreed, and hurriedly went down to order troops.
