Chapter 137: Xu Du Cao Mansion, planning and preparing for war
In the autumn of the third year of Jian'an (198), Xu Du Cao Cao's mansion
In the past two years, Cao Cao has not only rapidly expanded his territory to several prefectures and counties, making it second only to Yuan Shao in the north, but even nominally obtained Sili, Chang'an and other places;
Especially this year, he has surrendered Lu Bu's entire army, especially Lu Bu's few remaining more than 3,000 greedy wolf cavalry, as well as the 800 trapped camps that are said to be 'invincible and invincible', although Gao Shun, the main general of the trapped camp, has not really served him
At this time, in the main hall of Cao Cao's mansion, the civil and military seats on both sides, among the military generals, Cao Ren, Xiahou Xuan, Xiahou Yuan, the future Cao Wei Sanzong are the head, and there are Cao Hong, Yu Ban, Le Jin, Li Dian, Zang Ba, Han Hao, Shi Lian, etc.
On the side of the scribe is much more exciting, led by a few people, there is a young man holding a wine glass and drinking from time to time, and the middle-aged man is half-lying and coughing twice from time to time, and there is a ruthless person who keeps checking the secret letter in his hand, and there are two Confucian scholars with excellent bearing sitting firmly in it, and finally there is still a middle-aged scribe with an extraordinary temperament, but revealing a gloomy haze, constantly inspecting the hall
If Liu Xiu was here, he would definitely be able to see the abilities of these many people, who could be said to be outstanding in each of them, just like the three who behaved the strangest among the scribes but were allowed by Cao Cao, and the so-called 'Three Sects of Cao Wei' in the future;
Guo Jia, the word Fengxiao, commander: ?? Martial art:?? , Resourcefulness: 99+, Politics: 80;
Xi Zhong, Zi Zhicai, Commander: ?? Martial art:?? , Gambit: 96, Politics: 80;
Cheng Yu, word Zhongde, commander: ?? Martial art:?? , Gambit: 93, Politics: 85;
Xiahou Yuan, the word Miaocai, commander: 88, martial arts: 93, resourcefulness: 70, politics: 60;
Xiahoudun, Zi Yuan Rang, Commander: 86, Martial Arts: 94, Resourcefulness: 78, Politics: 70;
Cao Ren, Zixiao, Commander: 90, Martial Arts: 86, Resourcefulness: 82, Politics: 70;
Cao Cao looked around at all the civil and military forces in the hall, and smiled with satisfaction, but when he looked at the people who were drinking and half-lying, he frowned, shook his head and said with a wry smile: "Fengxiao, Doctor Hua said last time that you should not drink like this all the time, otherwise, it will be extremely bad for your body!" ”
"Peace of mind of the Lord! Jia has asked Doctor Hua Shen for the recipe of a medicinal wine, the wine in this wine pot is medicinal wine, although the taste is a little worse, but recently the body has indeed improved a lot! ”
"Instead of worrying about Jia, it is better to care more about Brother Zhicai, although there was a doctor Hua Shen to help him treat last time, it is still difficult to heal, so he can only lie down like this, but it is hard!" Guo Jia said and smiled, and led the words to the half-lying person next to him, but he was a drama loyalty!
"Feng Xiao, don't talk about me, I haven't touched a drop of wine now!" But the man laughed and rebuked;
"Drinking too much is always bad anyway!" Cao Cao listened to what Feng Xiao said, and still shook his head to persuade, but he looked at the half-lying middle-aged scribe and said, "Zhicai, if you are too tired, you can rest and rest first, don't be too tired!" ”
"Thank you for your concern, Zhicai can still hold on, and he can't die!" The half-lying man was still lying down, but he arched his hand slightly and said: "I heard that there is an urgent military intelligence delivered today, don't be lazy, I don't know if there is such a thing?!" One sentence directed Cao Cao's attention elsewhere
When Cao Cao heard the military situation, he was also puzzled, and sighed: "But there is such a thing!" ”
"I don't know where the military intelligence report came from? Can you have details? Xun Yu on the side couldn't help but ask;
"But from the north?!" Guo Jia drank another glass of wine, and then without waiting for Cao Cao to explain, he asked;
"Bong Hyo Gaoming, how did you guess?!" As soon as Cao Cao heard what Guo Jia said, he immediately became interested, and he did not immediately explain the military situation, but asked Guo Jia;
"Hehehe" Guo Jia stretched out his hand to wipe the wine stains on the corner of his mouth, and said with a smile: "The lord now occupies the Central Plains, this is the land of four wars, and all sides are enemies"
"However, the Lord Father-in-law's Western --- Chang'an, Xiliang and other places have been dragged with the help of Zhong Xuan and Zhang Ji, so although they are not integrated, they will not start the war lightly; And the land of Jingyang in the south of the lord --- facing Liu Biao and Sun Ce, Liu Biao is a man who guards the success, and will not go north, Sun Ce wants to fight for Xuzhou to go north, and there will not be enough troops to go up from the Lujiang River, so there are General Li Tong and Li Wenda in the south to guard Runan, and General Cao Xiu to guard the north of the Lujiang River, which is enough! ”
"As for the east of the lord, although he fought with Sun Ce in the East China Sea and Xiapi counties, but now it has gradually confronted, with Lu Qian, Zang Ba, and Man Zhong guarding it, there will be no such urgent military situation, so the battle report that can make the lord so anxious must be related to Yuan Shao in the north!"
Guo Jia continued to analyze, and from time to time he would drink a full glass, and then continued: "Since it is related to Yuan Shao in the north, it must be that Yuan Shao has already destroyed Gongsun Zan and integrated the four states of Hebei, so that the lord can be so anxious!" ”
"Feng Xiao is really talented!" Cao Cao praised Guo Jia without hesitation, but then frowned and asked: "Now Yuan Shao is based on the land of the four states of Hebei, with millions of soldiers, and there is a surplus of grain and grass in Jizhou and other places, this Han world, he has occupied half of it, although my Cao Cao, the Central Plains, is also very important, but after years of war, he has long been defeated by Hebei!" ”
Cao Cao sighed and said: "Moreover, if Lone starts a war with Yuan Shao, I am afraid that Sun Ce will definitely take the opportunity to invade Xuzhou, and Liu Biao of Jingzhou will not let go of such a good opportunity?!" Hey"
"Such a pack of wolves look around, like this! What can I do?! ”
In the past few days, Cao Cao has been unable to sleep and eat for this matter, but he still can't think of a good way, so he said and kept looking around at the civil and military forces under his command
"Ahem" But at this time, a few coughs woke up the silent crowd, but it was Xi Zhicai, who only heard him say weakly: "Let's not talk about when Yuan Shao will go south, the lord's first thing at the moment is to raise soldiers, horses, grain and grass to go north, but it can't be known to others; After that, the lord must also strengthen the guards on both sides of the southeast, especially the Xuzhou lands, and must not let Sun Ce take advantage of it! ”
"What Brother Zhicai said is very true!" Xun Yu people are also echoing the Tao;
But Guo Fengxiao suddenly made a suggestion that surprised everyone: "In addition, the lord still needs it"
