On the mansion of General Xu Du Zhengbei, Lu Rui was lying on a bamboo chair, leisurely looking at the beautiful scenery in the garden, the chef was helping Lu Rui barbecue on the side, and the women in the house were playing on the side, returning to Xu Du is really a heavenly life!

"Master Hou, Sikong Mansion sent someone to pass the word, let Hou Ye go to Sikong Mansion quickly, and there is something important to discuss." Diao Chan slowly walked into the garden and reported to Lu Rui.

"Oh? Is there something important in Sikong Mansion? Lu Rui was stunned for a moment, it was afternoon, Cao Cao rarely recruited himself to Sikong Mansion at this time, there must be something important.

"Well, I see, evil, prepare a car for me!"

"Yes, Master Hou!"

"Bufan, you're here too?" Lu Rui had just come to Sikong Mansion and met Guo Jia at the door.

"Master, are you here too?" Lu Rui glanced at Guo Jia with a smile, Guo Jia was still the same, holding a wine jug, and he looked like a child.

"Extraordinary, of course I'm coming, I just received information that Yuan Xi united all the princes and divided the army into five routes to attack our army."

"The Five-Way Army?" Lu Rui was stunned for a moment, Yuan Xi actually united the Five Route Army to attack Cao Cao, it seems that Yuan Xi is really not simple, Yuan Xi, who is not afraid of death in history, still has some real ability!

"Well, Bufan, let's go and see the lord first, and then we'll discuss this matter!"

"Subordinates, see the lord!" Soon, Lu Rui and Guo Jia both came to Cao Cao's study, and Xun You, Cheng Yu, Sima Lang and other Cao military strategists all came to Sikong Mansion early.

"Well, Bufan and Fengxiao are here, okay, let's start discussing!"

"Zhongde, you will tell everyone about Yuan Xi carefully!"

"Yes, my lord." Soon, Cheng Yu told everyone about the five-way war.

"Ladies and gentlemen. Yuan Xi united the princes of all walks of life. Five-way felling. What do you guys think? As soon as Cheng Yu's words fell, Cao Cao went straight to the point.

"Lord, my subordinates think that the five-way army is not to be feared, as long as our army sticks to the fortresses in various places, it will definitely ensure that our army is safe!" Sima Lang was the first to answer Cao Cao.

"Oh? Boda, what do you think? Cao Cao glanced at Sima Lang. The head of the legendary Sima Bada, what is the ability?

"Lord, the so-called five-way army, the five-way attack, seems to be menacing, but in fact, otherwise, our army can be divided and dissolved, and only need to deal with one or two princes when the time comes."

"Speak carefully!"

"Lord, first of all, Zhang Lu in Hanzhong, Zhang Lu is the remnant of the Yellow Turban. was protected by Liu Yan and became a hero, but Liu Yan was greedy for Zhang Lu's mother's beauty. After Liu Yan's death, Liu Zhang's slaughter of Zhang Lu's relatives in Sichuan, has become a fire and water with Zhang Lu, Sikong only needs to repair a book, seal the official in Liu Zhang, Liu Zhang will inevitably send troops to attack Hanzhong, the army of Hanzhong, can retreat! ”

"Boda is right, retreat all the way, what should the four-way army do?"

"Lord, although Liu Biao in Jingzhou has enough soldiers, but Liu Biao Xinping Jingnan, and Liu Bei is stationed in Jiangbei, Sun Quan is on its east side, Liu Biao, the lord of Shoucheng, will definitely not send a large army to attack my Lianghuai region, the lord can order Guangling to guard Chen Deng, closely monitor the area of Lianghuai and Shouchun, if Liu Biao has a large army to attack Lianghuai, our army can rely on the waters of the Huai River and the newly built Hefei City to resist Liu Biao, at most let Liu Biao get some empty cities south of Shouchun."

"Don't be afraid all the way!"

"Okay, I will immediately promote Chen Deng to Shouchun Taishou and garrison Lianghuai."

"The lord, Jiangdong Sun Quan, was newly captured by our army Jiangdong, and he will definitely not accept it, and take this opportunity to counterattack my Jiangdong two counties. However, Sun Quan's naval army was still formed, and it was difficult to achieve a river blockade for our army. Then the important place of our army and Sun Quan's battle is on the front line of Hulin and Moling, where the hills and plains are dominant, Sun Quan's soldiers are not as elite as our army, and there is more wisdom General Cao Ren to garrison, this road lord does not need to worry! ”

"Haha, Boda is really talented, and he went to the army all the way, so there will be Xinye Liu Bei and Xiliang Army left!"

"Lord, Xinye Liu Bei, newly stationed in Xinye, although there are not many troops in hand, but they are basically a warrior of a hundred battles, and Xinye is far away from my Wancheng, and Xu Du is only a close neighbor, the lord can order a general to garrison Wancheng and monitor Liu Bei's movements, even if Liu Bei has a strange plan to attack our army, as long as our army is attacking it, Liu Bei is not worried."

"Okay, Boda's analysis makes sense, then the Xiliang Army is left!"

"Lord, Xiliang Ma Teng and Han Sui, Cao Kou was born, quite banditry, but Ma Teng and Han Sui are different, Ma Teng is after General Fubo, he has a heart for Han, the lord can use it a little to differentiate Ma Teng and Han Sui, if Ma Teng is shaken, Han Sui is alone!"

"Hahahaha! , Sima Bada really lives up to his reputation, Boda's analysis is thorough and reasonable, this Sikong decided to act according to Boda's plan, do you have any objections? ”

"Subordinates seconded!"

"Okay, that's it." Then Cao Cao discussed some details with everyone, and dissolved the court meeting, leaving only Guo Jia, Xun You, and Lu Rui to stay.

"Extraordinary, Fengxiao, Gongda, what do you think of Boda's plan just now?"

"Middle father, the child thinks that although Boda's plan is wonderful, it is not a foolproof strategy, I am afraid that he is underestimating the princes from all walks of life." The history that Lu Rui is familiar with has changed, but Lu Rui can be sure of one thing, the characters of the Three Kingdoms are not fuel-efficient lamps, and they will be guided by the situation, Han Sui, Liu Biao, and Sun Quan are all a generation of heroes, which should not be underestimated.

"What you say is reasonable, Fengxiao, you have to pay close attention to the movements of the princes from all walks of life, and once there is a change, report it immediately!"

"Yes, my subordinates understand."

"Fengxiao, extraordinary, Gongda, what makes Ben Sikong really worried is Yuan Xi's movements."

"Yuan Xi's movements?" The three nodded, Yuan Xi called on the princes to attack Cao Cao, but he only defended his Hebei land, and even gave up most of the territory of Qingzhou, which is not a good sign, Yuan Xi is concentrating his forces on consolidating the Yellow River defense line!

"Yuan Xi shrank Qingzhou's military strength, consolidated the Yellow River defense line, and at the same time ordered Gao Gan to garrison Yecheng, the movement is unknown!" Cao Cao looked at the three of them worriedly, Yuan Xi's actions made Cao Cao feel uneasy, Yuan Xi actually did not take advantage of the fire to rob and attack Cao Cao, but chose to consolidate the defense line of the Yellow River, whether Yuan Xi did not dare to deal with Cao Cao, or Yuan Xi had already expected that the princes of the Five Roads would not do much damage to Cao Cao, but only delayed the time of Cao's northern expedition.

"Father Zhong, if Yuan Xi has a plot against our army, then Yuan Xi's real purpose may be to delay the time of our army's Northern Expedition, and Yuan Xi wants to lead his troops to pacify the north!" Lu Rui thought back to history and made a judgment, there are still three forces in Hebei now, Zhang Yan, Wu Huan, and Gongsun Kang, although these three forces pose little threat to Yuan Xi, but once Yuan Xi's strength is weakened, then these three forces may give Yuan Xi a fatal blow, and Yuan Xi is going to sweep away the troubles!

"Yes, extraordinary, this is exactly what I am worried about for my father, if Yuan Xi really has such a plan, then our army can only adjust its strategy and accumulate enough strength to deal with the four states of Hebei before it can talk about the Northern Expedition."

"What does Father Zhong mean is to find princes who are weak but can strengthen the strength of our army and expand the territory of our army?" If the time of the Northern Expedition is delayed, then attacking Yuan Xi will not be an overnight thing, and in the long run, the first thing to do is to make Cao Jun have the manpower and territory to be able to confront Hebei!

"That's right, that's what Ben Sikong meant!" Cao Cao glanced at Lu Rui worriedly, Cao Jun's strategy was about to be adjusted. (To be continued......)
