Xiahoudun said confidently: "I'm sure that our three thousand elites can compete with the elite of the Lu Bu Army when the number is equal!" You won't be left behind! ”

Cao Cao smiled and patted Xiahoudun on the shoulder, walked around outside the school field, and looked at the soldiers who were performing on the school field with scrutinizing eyes. Xiahoudun, Dian Wei, and Guo Jia followed.

Cao Cao's brows gradually rose. After looking at it for a moment, he stopped, and walked towards the big tent while thinking. Came to the big tent, sat down, frowned, and said, "Yuan Rang has trained very well!" Far beyond the armies that preceded us! Xiahoudun happily hugged his fists and said, "Thank you for the compliment!" ”

Cao Cao looked at Guo Jia, who had a thoughtful look on his face, "Fengxiao, what do you think?" ”

Guo Jia glanced at Xiahoudun opposite, "Yuan Rang has indeed trained very well!" However, I think this army is still unable to compete with Lu Bu's most elite Long Tao army! ”

When Xiahoudun heard this, he was not happy, "How is it possible?" I'm absolutely sure that I can go right with Long Taojun! ”

Guo Jia didn't argue, just smiled.

Cao Cao smiled: "I have the same opinion as Feng Xiao. ”

Xiahoudun was greatly unconvinced, and snorted: "This will be known only after the competition!" ”

Cao Cao laughed: "I am very relieved that Yuan Rang has such a spirit!" After a pause, he said to Xiahoudun: "You go and supervise the soldiers to train, don't worry about me, I'll sit down and go back to the city." Xiahoudun clenched his fist at Cao Cao, turned to leave, and glared at Guo Jia with a dissatisfied expression as he passed in front of him. Guo Jia Zhi smiled.

Cao Cao stood up, walked to the tent, looked at Xiahoudun who was walking away from the tent, and said with a smile: "Yuan Rang, the talent of the general, but his temper is too hot!" Guo Jia said with a smile: "As a general, it's better to be popular!" Otherwise, how can you compete with others? Cao Cao laughed, "Feng Xiao's insight is different!" If it was Xun You, he would definitely say that it was the courage of the horseman! ”

Guo Jia smiled and said nothing.

Cao Cao paced back and forth, frowning, "What did we not do?" ”

Guo Jia said: "It's just a little bit." ”

Cao Cao stopped and hurriedly asked, "Which point?" ”

Guo Jia said: "The lord should have heard that Lu Bu recently raided all the Dashi clans in Xichuan!" The whole clan will be wiped out, and all the property will be collected! At the same time, a state ministry was set up, and almost all of its managers were disabled veterans! ”

Cao Cao asked puzzledly, "What does this mean?" ”

Guo Jiadao: "Combined with Lu Bu's previous policies, it is obvious that Lu Bu is combining the civilian class and the military with his interests!" In this way, the army's loyalty to him will be unshakable, and at the same time, it will burst out in battle! It's something mental, and it's impossible to achieve it with training alone. ”

Cao Cao nodded, frowned, and said, "We can't follow his set of practices!" Looking at Guo Jia, "We can increase the reward to boost morale, and we should be able to achieve a similar effect, right?" ”

Guo Jia frowned and said: "This kind of reward is limited after all, and only by making the military class the ruling class can it have the longest and best effect!" In addition, how many resources do we have to use for rewards, money and food are limited, and land is limited, and most of the land is in the hands of the nobles everywhere, and it cannot be used to reward the soldiers! ”

Cao Cao pondered, "What if we follow Lu Bu's example? ”

Guo Jia shook his head, "Impossible! The foundation of the lord is the scholar clan everywhere, if we follow Lu Bu's example, I am afraid that we don't have to fight with people, and we ourselves will be in chaos first! The reason why Lu Bu can do it is thanks to Dong Zhuo! Because of Dong Zhuo's actions, Lu Bu, who inherited Dong Zhuo's mantle, could not get the support of the scholar clan at all, so he could only break out of an unprecedented path! ”

Cao Cao smiled: "It seems that Lu Bu is my biggest confidant!" ”

Guo Jia agreed.

Cao Cao frowned and said, "After completely solving the remnants of the Yuan clan, I will lead the army to attack Lu Bu!" ”

"Nope! Lord, the war with Lu Bu will be the most difficult war, and we may run out of combat strength and will not gain anything! In this case, it is very likely that Sun Jian will be cheaper. ”

Cao Cao frowned, "What does Feng Xiao mean, the next target is Sun Jian?" ”

Guo Jia nodded, "First level Jiangnan, and then go west to fight Lu Bu!" However, going south to Jiangnan is no easy task! Although Sun Jianbu is not fearful, he has the world's number one water army! And the water network in the south of the Yangtze River is dense, if you can't defeat Sun Jian's water army, you will not talk about it! ”

Cao Cao pondered: "The top priority is to train the navy to build warships, and at the same time recuperate and recuperate and prepare for war!" ”

Guo Jia nodded, hugged his fists and said, "The lord is wise!" ”

Cao Cao was a little worried: "Will there be an opportunity?" ”

Guo Jia said categorically: "There will definitely be!" According to the information we got from Guanzhong, Lu Bu has already taken control of the Western Regions, and the trade route has been opened again! Lu Bu hoped that would be an important source of income for him, but it would also restrain his strength and energy. There are many powerful countries on the trade route to the west, and it is not easy to ensure the smooth flow of this trade route. If my prediction is correct, it won't be long before someone will make trouble in the west, and Lu Bu's power will inevitably turn west again, and then it will be a good time for us to go south! ”

Cao Cao Huo became cheerful, "Hahahaha, what Feng Xiao said made me suddenly open!" ”

At this time, Lu Bu from Luoyang was walking around the street in civilian clothes, and Huang Yueying and Cai Yan, who were dressed in men's clothes, followed around. Along the way, passers-by looked at the two women, but most of them were women, and their eyes were shining, as if they had seen a hound with food. The two women were depressed, but they couldn't do it.

Zhang Lang led the two girls to sit down in a tea shop on the side of the road and asked for a pot of coarse tea and a few snacks. Zhang Lang personally poured tea for the two women. The brown color is gray, not at all like the dark green fragrant tea that the two women usually drink.

Zhang Lang didn't care, picked up the tea and dried it up, poured himself another cup, and then ate the snacks on the plate.

Cai Yan picked up the teacup, looked at the brown, trimmed his eyebrows, and looked very embarrassed; Huang Yueying, who was sitting opposite, also looked like an ordinary person, looking at the tea in her hand and didn't know what to do.

Cai Yan and Huang Yueying tried to take a sip, then put it on the table and stopped touching it. At this time, the tea guests at the adjacent table were discussing the current news. The chubby tea guest on the left was foaming at the mouth and dancing with his hands: "Those old men are unlucky now!" I met the general, hum, I wiped you out one by one! ”
