Looking deeply at the man in front of him who called himself the Lord and was determined to dedicate all his loyalty, Guo Jia's thoughts fluctuated in his heart.

In every way, the lord he chose was an excellent leader.

On different occasions and in front of different people, the other party's side is completely different.

In front of all, he displayed a strong sense of confidence and majesty; If there are only ministers and staff in front of him, what you will see from him will be more humble and far-sighted; If you change to a military general, that strong courage and domineering, coupled with a generous bearing, can get the unreserved loyalty of the upright generals.

And ...... to yourself

Guo Jia believes that at the moment, the somewhat weak demeanor shown by the lord will not be seen by anyone in the world except himself, at least before the world is decided.

As a monarch, it is a very basic quality not to be thoroughly figured out, and only to let certain people see a certain side, and the so-called unpredictable power is like this.

Before Yuan Shao made his career, he also performed very well in this regard, so he had such a good reputation. However, while hiding his true temperament, his own lord can also use the illusion he shows to envelop his subordinates, which belongs to the category of beyond perfection.

As the most outstanding wise man in the world, Guo Jia has a very comprehensive understanding of his own strengths and weaknesses, and he is also insightful of Cao Cao's thoughts, but he has to admit that even if he knows that the other party's current demeanor may be deliberately made, there is still a fierce emotion in his heart that 'the one who is a confidant dies'.

Even if it is a trap, it is also a unique way to trap, Cao Cao's approach satisfies Guo Jia's pride, and this show of weakness also aroused his desire not to admit defeat, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone.

With that in mind. Guo Jia's doubts in his heart were also even stronger.

Although there are many heroes in the world, compared with the perfection of their own masters, they all have such and such shortcomings: Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu have more than enough power and are arrogant; Sun Ce is more domineering, but he is worried about being rigid and easy to break; Liu Bei has a stoic temperament and is good at looking for opportunities, but that unscrupulous energy makes people with cleanliness habits such as Guo Jia have to stay away.

As for Liu Biao, Liu Yan and the like, from head to toe, they all exude a corrupt atmosphere of the ministers of the clan; Lu Bu and Gongsun Zan are just simple warriors; Tao Qian and Zhang Yan have no ambitions......

The only thing that puzzled him. Only Wang Yu!

Cao Cao was rated as "the able minister of the world, the hero of the troubled times" by Xu Zijiang when he was young, and after the army, many celebrities came to vote, and then he also fell in love at first sight. Loyalty, which shows his charm and ability as a monarch.

And Wang Yu ......

You can see the bravery and boldness of Lu Bu and Gongsun Zan in him; can see Sun Ce's innate domineering and courage; In terms of power schemes, although he is not good at using them, the schemes set up by Yuan Shao and many other scheming conspirators are often spied on by him, which shows that he is not ignorant of this aspect.

Coupled with the untimely kindness of Tao Qian and Zhang Yan, the carelessness of personal power, and some similarity with Liu Bei. The perseverance that is characteristic of the grassroots......

Guo Jia didn't know how to comment.

Maybe it would be more appropriate to borrow the evaluation of Qingzhou people themselves - it is not as good as the owner!

This is Zhuge Liang's classic complaint after being speechless repeatedly, and after Guo Jia learned about it through various channels, he also thought it was true, and deeply admired the wise man who was younger than himself.

According to common sense. People's character and temperament should be related to experience, Wang Yu's monarch's temperament is insufficient, which can be attributed to his previous education and experience, but in this way. His complete and unique philosophy of governance cannot be explained.

Guo Jia has read Wang Yu's information countless times, but he can let him break his head. I can't figure out how such a complex personality was formed.

Similarly, even if he searched every corner of his memory and referred to every recorded allusion in history, he could not find a reasonable explanation for why such a person without a heroic temperament performed more perfectly than anyone else in the process of competing for the world.

That young champion Hou is such an existence that subverts the outlook on life.

His own father-in-law is already very good at seeing and knowing people, and he has the help of a talent record book like Xun Yu, but he still has the upper hand in searching for talents.

The lord sighed in public more than once, there are so many good generals in Qingzhou, although there is the idea of spurring the ministers, but it is not a true expression.

Xiahou Yuan is also a number of generals in Cao's army, but he can't be reassured at all, it's just a trick of defeat, as long as the formation retreats, even if it is successful, as a result, he is defeated by people, and there are only three or five thousand remnants left in the 20,000 army.

Let's look at the ...... of Qingzhou

Tai Shi Ci turned the diversion war into a defeat battle, although Yan Rou and Qi Zhou escaped with their lives, but Badun was frightened a lot, and waited until the end of the New Year, he was still in the mound to move forward, 20,000 iron cavalry, 40,000 troops were simply frightened by Tai Shi Ci's 500 water army.

Zhao Yun is even more amazing, sweeping the north of Hebei in ten days, capturing the king's gate alive, and after getting out of the fortress, he was surrounded by hundreds of thousands of Xianbei troops to advance and retreat freely, and then stabbed the other party fiercely.

The wind cavalry went out of the fortress, and there was no detailed information feedback, and the local spies only provided some relevant signs, and even Zhao Yun was not sure whether he was really out of the fortress.

But what kind of person is Guo Jia? When it comes to the ability to know the book, counting the current world, the people who can stand side by side with him can also be counted with one hand, so why is it difficult to deduce the truth of the facts?

Even Ji Ling, who had only qualifications and no achievements under Yuan Shu, also took a hand in the Flying Fox Fortress, and simply blocked the sneak attack of 20,000 Hu Qi.

Thinking about Wang Yu's way of collecting talents, Guo Jia was also a little weak and out of breath for a while, hussar list? Who's going to be!

Seeing this, Guo Jia also empathized with Cao Cao's mood at the moment. However, he didn't intend to say anything about the empty words of the lord not to worry, but said truthfully: "Qingzhou has taken the lead, there is no doubt about this, and the current situation is indeed very bad, but it is useless to worry, the only way to do this is to implement the plan in advance!" ”

"In advance?" Cao Cao involuntarily repeated the key word, his brows furrowed more and more: "Is it the only way it can be?" Although Li and Guo have moved their troops westward, they are still far from the goal that you and I have discussed in advance, if Dong Zhuo and Ma Teng cannot consume each other, even if our army captures Guanzhong, it will only be involved in a new battle, which is ......"

Guo Jia's strategy for Guanzhong is an extremely complex large-scale strategy, each stage and step is aimed at a different goal, if it is broken down, there are at least many strategies such as anti-discord, discord, driving the tiger and devouring the wolf, hiding from the sky and crossing the sea, Li Dai Taozhuang, and so on.

If everything goes well and there are no accidents, after this strategy is completed, Cao Cao will go from a first-class force on a par with Sun Ce, Liu Biao, and Yuan Shu to a super-first-class force that can compete head-on with Qingzhou.

The key point is to use Ma Teng to consume Dong Zhuo, and after both are defeated, then take advantage of the weakness to enter, and with the cooperation of the anti-Dong forces in the DPRK and China, seize Chang'an in one fell swoop and incorporate the remnants of Dong Zhuo. If the situation allows, he will even further attack the Xiliang rebels of Ma Teng and Han Sui, and after destroying or subduing them, he will turn his strategic focus back to the eastern front.

Now Ma Teng attacked according to the plan, but the price paid by Cao Cao was too heavy, and Xiahou Yuan's Nanyang soldiers were no longer able to form combat power. If, according to Guo Jia, it is too late to inflict enough consumption on Ma Teng, and the post-war situation will become very tricky.

"Now is actually a good time, the main force of our army is going south, Li Ru and Niu Fu are retreating without chaos, from the strategic situation, the Xiliang army has contained the main force of our army with partial divisions, and the defense in the area of Shaanxi County will inevitably be relaxed...... Niu Fu has no courage to hear, all thanks to Li Ru's advice, however, the latter is holding on in the army with illness, and when the poor dagger sees it, Guanzhong is in chaos, and the news arrives, Li Ru's heart will be severely damaged, as long as he is seriously ill and cannot be a director, or he dies, what is the reason for Niu Fu? ”

"At that time, the lord can appease the generals of Xiliang and incorporate the elite of Xiliang to expand the tiger and leopard cavalry and fight against the wind and fire cavalry in Qingzhou...... Ma Teng was used by our army, of course, he will not give up, but it is not difficult to solve, the lord can fake the holy decree of the Son of Heaven, and the high-ranking officials and lords will envelop him, and then choose a messenger who can speak well, take Jingwei and the Yellow River as the boundary, and give up all the territory north of Yongzhou to Ma Teng, and affirm the proposal to resist Qingzhou, if necessary, you can mention the proposal of Qin and Jin, and he will not be embarrassed by the lord......"

Guo Jia's new proposal evolved after putting his side in the position of the weaker side, and then weakened the previous plan to swallow two opponents in a row and fight against Qingzhou alone.

There is no need to look at the map, Cao Cao can also deduce the strategic situation after the smooth implementation of the performance plan. Guo Jia proposed to cede the territory, including most of Yongzhou, as well as Hedong, and even acquiesced in Ma Teng's army's right to attack the state. Of course, literally speaking, Hebei is also among them, and this covenant is equivalent to the meaning of two families sharing the world equally.

The advantage is that Ma Teng can be appeased, each taking what he needs, and when Wang Yu launches a full-scale attack on Guanzhong, the two sides can also join hands to resist the enemy; The disadvantage is that the income of this battle has been greatly reduced, only half of Yongzhou has been obtained, and even the rich Hedong has been given to Ma Teng.

The harm outweighed the good, after thinking for a while, Cao Cao came to a conclusion, and at the same time he was also very puzzled, with Guo Jia's shrewdness, how could he make such a short-sighted proposal, could it be that he was also shocked by Wang Yu's ferocity in the northern frontier?

"The authorities are confused, my lord, you should think outside the box about this matter." Seeing Cao Cao's doubts, Guo Jia smiled slightly, spread out a map on the table with his left hand, stretched out his index finger and lightly touched it somewhere on it, and reminded meaningfully: "Instead of competing with Ma Teng for a momentary advantage and missing the opportunity, it is better to take a step back, there is also a sea and a wide sky!" ”

Cao Cao looked at it urgently, and was puzzled at first, but after thinking about it along Guo Jia's train of thought, he soon became enlightened.

Suddenly, his face was full of sadness, he stroked Guo Jia's shoulder, and laughed: "Fengxiao, Fengxiao, you are really my ovary!" From this discussion, tomorrow the army will start to act after the meeting! Although there are many good generals in Qingzhou, there are people who can be filial piety? Pengju, the victory or defeat of you and me is far from clear! ”
