At this time, Cao Cao lay on the bed and weighed it for a long time, and he was always sure that he couldn't clean up the one first.

Because of Liu Cong's success, he had a toothache, so he thought about temporarily giving up cleaning up Yuan Shao's two sons in Hebei, "Go back, clean up Liu Cong first, and then come back to clean up Yuan Shang and Yuan Xi." ”

However, Cao Cao couldn't make up his mind for a while, so he endured a toothache and headache, covered his face with one hand, and came out to ask for the opinions of the strategists.

At this time, several of Cao Cao's advisers were there, so Cao Cao asked them to discuss, "Liu Biao's second son, well, I heard that it was very prosperous in Jingzhou, everyone take a look, I want to give up this Yuan Shang Yuan Xi for the time being, lead the troops back to Fancheng, first recover Jingzhou, solve Liu Cong, and then come back to solve the matter in Hebei, let's talk about it and see if my idea is feasible." ”

At this time, Xun Yu was not in front of him, Xun You, Jia Xu, Guo Jia, Cheng Yu, Liu Ye, and Jiang Ji were all there, so everyone began to discuss in front of Cao Cao.

The final conclusion of the strategists actually denied Cao Cao's claim,

Everyone agreed that among these rookies, Yuan Shang and Yuan Xi were the most harmful for the time being, and they would be captured by Wei Gong, and whether they were steamed or boiled after being captured depended on Wei Gong's hobby.

However, if once the two brothers were given up and given them a chance to breathe, they would fly out of the fortress, unite with Xianbei Wuhuan, and then kill back to the Central Plains, it would be quite troublesome.

"The brutality and ferocity of the descendants of the Xiongnu in Xianbei Wuhuan, Duke Wei is not unaware, so I have always thought that it is the best policy to solve Yuan Shang and Yuan Xi here now."

This is Cao Cao's favorite confidant Guo Jia, who concentrated everyone's opinions to answer Cao Cao's question,

As for Liu Cong, Jia Xu said: "Duke Wei doesn't have to worry too much, he is just a hairy child, because Duke Wei is not in front of him, he will succeed for a while, and he will not be able to do it in the long run.

As the saying goes, 'When you were fat, you don't have to be fat when you grow up', wasn't Sun Ce more powerful than Liu Cong now?

Well, it's just a flash in the pan,

Liu Cong is nothing more than that,

Wei Gong should not forget that his father Liu Biao was not known as one of the eight horses in the world.

How about it, after working all my life, didn't you just squat down in the end guarding a lonely city of Jingzhou?

As the saying goes, 'I haven't seen bedbugs, I haven't seen ticks', look at Liu Biao's appearance, and you will know Liu Cong's future.

Therefore, Zaihe and everyone have always thought that the lord should solve the matter in Hebei first, and then go back to clean up Liu Cong and Sun Quan as the best policy. ”

Cao Cao listened and basically agreed with the opinions of the strategists, but he was still a little uneasy, so he said: "I heard that this Liu Cong is very good at predicting, and often says in front of the generals in Jingzhou, if he hadn't been in charge of Jingzhou and reversed the situation, four years later, my old Cao will take you back to Fancheng, conquer Xiangyang, seal Liu Cong as the assassin of Jingzhou, and order him to take Mrs. Cai to take office immediately, and then, he sent Yu Ban with troops to kill him and Mrs. Cai in the middle of the road, this word reached my ears, I thought about it, his prediction is really reasonable, When that day comes, I'll really want to execute them like this. ”

When the strategists heard this, they all looked straight at Cao Cao and didn't speak.

Cao Cao continued: "He also predicted that after Yuan Shang and Yuan Xi were defeated by me, they would flee to the outside of the Saiwai and join forces with Wuhuan Xianbei and Bandun Shan Yu to contend with our army, but after the battle of Liucheng, Bandun Shan Yu was killed by our army, and Yuan Shang and Yuan Xi had no way to escape, so they defected to Gongsun Yuan of Liaodong. ”

When the strategists heard this, they were all dumbfounded, you look at each other, I look at you, none of them made a sound, but Cao Cao didn't care about their reactions, and then said: "The most peculiar thing is these few words, he said, after Yuan Shang Yuan Xi fled to Liaodong and defected to Gongsun Yuan, I thought about leading troops to pursue, but, Guo Jia. Cao Cao said this, pointed at Guo Jia with a finger and said: "It's you, Guo Fengxiao, he said that you were seriously ill at that time, so sick that you couldn't follow up with the army, stay in the rear to recuperate, I heard that I was going to lead the army to pursue Yuan Shang Yuan Xi to Liaodong, so he wrote to me, persuading me to stay still, stationed in Liucheng, saying that someone would send the second Yuan head to the Wei Gong account for a long time, sure enough, after living for less than three months, Xiahou Yuan sent someone to send Yuan Shang Yuan Xi's head over, so I led the troops to withdraw to the Guannei. ”

Everyone was shocked when they heard this, and shouted in unison: "Is this Liu Cong the reincarnation of an immortal, how can he predict things so reasonable." ”

Cao Cao looked at Guo Jia, looked at it for a while, and said with red circles in his eyes: "There is another point, it makes me sad when I think about it, and I often want to say it to everyone, so as to relieve the melancholy in my heart, but it is always difficult to speak??????"

The strategists repeatedly asked Cao Cao to continue, and Cao Cao pondered for a long time before saying: "Alas, it's good to say it, everyone will share the sorrow, and my psychological pressure can be reduced, but the idea of filial piety should be prepared, don't withstand the blow, this prediction is related to you." ”

Guo Jia listened, first shocked, immediately sank down, looked at Cao Cao and said with a smile: "Wei Gong, Guo Jia has been on the battlefield many times since he followed you, born and died, and is still alive in the world, recalling the people who followed Wei Gong at the same time as Guo Jia, how many people have already gone to Huangquan, and now Guo Jia is favored by Wei Gong, what a regret is it to die, Wei Gong heard Liu Cong's prediction, although he said it, Guo Jia faced it with anger, hehe, besides, Guo Jia has been born for more than 30 years, and he has not seen a convincing diviner, but he really wants to listen to Liu Cong's prediction." ”

Cao Cao knew that Guo Jia was open-minded, and when he heard this, he smiled and said: "Okay, I'll just say it, the purpose of saying it is not to curse Guo Fengxiao, but to let you comment on it to see if Liu Cong's prediction is reasonable." ”

Speaking of this, Cao Cao stood up, paced a few steps, glanced at everyone, and said, "Liu Cong predicted that by the time I take Yuan Shang and Yuan Xi's head back to Yecheng, Feng Xiao has been dead for two months. ”

Cao Cao said this, looked at Guo Jia, looked at everyone, and said: "Look at Guo Fengxiao, although he has a little asthma, it is not serious, that is, he is in his thirties, he is in the prime of life, he is in the prime of life, how can he die in three years, well, isn't this nonsense." ”

When all the strategists heard this, they all echoed Cao Cao's tone and shouted, saying that Liu Cong was arrogant and talking nonsense.

At this time, Guo Jia stood up and spoke, only to see him cough twice, and said slowly: "Duke Wei, about the fact that you led your troops to defeat Wuhuan Xianbei in Liucheng, killed Kudun Shan Yu, and Yuan Shang and Yuan Xi defected to Gongsun Yuan, we don't need Liu Cong's prediction, we will also expect it." ”063
