Xun You's words made everyone, including Cao Cao, stunned, but then, everyone woke up.

Yes, if that day really comes, the Sun family's power is probably no weaker than the Yuan family! Everyone still has an inherent thinking, thinking that Yuan Shao is the strongest now, but who would have thought that in just a few years, the Sun family is about to grow to the same peak as the Yuan family.

Even, listening to Xun You's tone, he deliberately reminded Cao Cao of this matter at this time, and it was obvious that Xun You already had a bias in his heart. If Xun You also thinks that he should join Sun Ce to contain Yuan Shao, then there is really no need for him to propose another possibility when everyone thinks so. Therefore, Xun You prefers to let Cao Cao and Yuan Shao unite to fight against the two tigers of the Sun family! In other words, Xun You believes that the Sun family after seizing Xuzhou will be stronger than Yuan Shao!

This conclusion made everyone a little incredulous. Yuan Shao, that is a very old and qualified prince, not to mention the background of his fourth and third dukes, as early as the establishment of the Kwantung Alliance Army to resist Dong Zhuo, Yuan Shao was already the leader of the alliance at that time. It can be said that from the beginning of the troubled times to the present, Yuan Shao has always been a popular candidate for the world, and among the princes, he has always been one of the best, and he will never be ranked third! Such Yuan Shao, together with a generation of Cao Cao, did not dare to compete with him head-on, who would have thought that in just a few years, he would be gradually caught up by a junior, almost starting from scratch, and almost catching up? !

Cao Cao was silent for a long time, this decision was too important, and at the same time, it was too abrupt, including him Cao Cao, who had never thought of this possibility in advance. However, in terms of decisiveness, Cao Cao is by no means comparable to the indecisive Yuan Shao, and on the spot, Cao Cao immediately made a decision,

"If Sun Quan really takes Xuzhou, then we will unite with Yuan Shao to fight against the two tigers of the Sun family!" Cao Cao said in a deep voice.

Cao Cao's decision was not unexpected by Guo Jia and others, but really listening to Cao Cao say this, people couldn't help but be in a trance. Obviously, like Xun You, Cao Cao also thought that the Sun brothers were more threatening. If he unites with the Sun family and destroys Yuan Shao first, after Yuan Shao is destroyed, Cao Cao has no confidence that he can compete with the Sun family. Therefore, we must first destroy the strongest, most threatening, and most potential Sun family, and in the future, Cao Cao and Yuan Shao will compete for the world, so that Cao Cao can still have a few chances of winning.

At this moment, looking at the heroes of the world, although everyone has seen the rise of the Sun family, I am afraid that only the Cao Cao camp has truly realized the horror of the Sun family!

"Now that the lord has made a decision, then it will be easy to do." Xun You nodded.

"Yes, do your best, and then let it be your destiny." Cao Cao sighed, paused, and said in a loud voice, "At least for now, the Mandate of Heaven is not going to kill me Cao Cao!" ”

Not mentioning that the future potential of the Sun family is greater than that of Yuan Shao, let's just say that the possibility of Cao Cao uniting with Yuan Shao is greater than uniting with Sun Ce. Don't look at Cao Cao and Sun Ce as if they are in the honeymoon period now, and Cao Cao and Yuan Shao are already about to go to war. But Cao Cao and Yuan Shao grew up together since childhood, and for a long time, Cao Cao followed Yuan Shao in the mix, including after welcoming the emperor, Cao Cao also left the position of the general to Yuan Shao, it can be said that so far, Cao Cao has no plans to turn his face with Yuan Shao, and the reason why he wants to go to war with Yuan Shao is entirely because Yuan Shao is preparing to go south after unifying the north, Cao Cao is the first to bear it, and he doesn't want to surrender in vain, so he was forced to fight back.

In other words, now Yuan Shao wants to fight Cao Cao, not Cao Cao wants to fight Yuan Shao, so as long as Yuan Shao unilaterally changes his mind, this battle will not be able to be fought for the time being. Moreover, Cao Cao also knew very well that Yuan Shao had always looked down on him, and in Yuan Shao's heart, I was afraid that he had already eaten Cao Cao, so in contrast, Yuan Shao would definitely be willing to destroy the Sun family first, and then turn back to deal with Cao Cao.

Once the Sun family takes Xuzhou, as long as Cao Cao lowers his figure and shows favor a little, Yuan Shao will inevitably nod and agree to the alliance with Cao Cao. On the contrary, on Sun Ce's side, if Cao Cao finds Sun Ce to unite against Yuan Shao, Sun Ce, who likes to use the art of war and does not play cards according to common sense, is likely to agree on the surface, and secretly move the knife behind his back, it can be said that from this point of view, Cao Cao does not have the premise of an alliance with Sun Ce.

The shrewd Sun brothers, in Cao Cao's eyes, are insidious and cunning. In contrast, Yuan Shao, who abides by the rules and preaches morality, is definitely much cuter. If Yuan Shao wants to beat you, he will first give you a letter and count your ten crimes; And if Sun Ce wants to beat you, it is estimated that he will first send you a gift to congratulate you, bow down to your subordinates, and then strike when you are the most slack!

Guangling,

While Sun Quan was organizing the army to transport grain, he sent Zhang Xun and Yang Hong to seize the time to integrate the remnants of Yuan Shu's army from Shouchun, and was ready to send troops at any time.

On the day that Sun Quan decided to raise Shouchun's troops to attack Xuzhou, he wrote a letter about his plan and sent it to the front line in the west to Sun Ce. As a result, within two days, Sun Quan received Sun Ce's reply.

The speed of information transmission in this era is obviously not so fast, so this is a letter sent by Sun Ce to Sun Quan before.

At first, Sun Quan was taken aback, thinking that something had happened to Sun Ce, you must know that Sun Quan always remembered that Sun Ce was assassinated in history, and the time was around here. After receiving the letter, Sun Quan breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately, it's okay, yes, Zuo Ci should still keep the promise to protect Sun Ce secretly, how can Sun Ce be so prone to accidents.

After confirming that it was not Sun Ce's accident, Sun Quan's face became a little strange in the face of the content of the letter.

The eldest brother actually found a marriage for him? And coincidentally, the woman is actually Da Qiao! In this regard, Sun Quan didn't know how to feel for a while, he did have a good impression of Da Qiao, Sun Quan did have a good impression, but maybe it was because of Dao Xin, Sun Quan didn't care about it anymore, he never thought that this had come full circle, and finally came back again!

Seeing this, compared to being able to marry a beauty, Sun Quan's heart is more about the warmth between brothers. Obviously, Sun Ce always thinks about his younger brother outside, and leaves the good ones to him. Perhaps in the eyes of outsiders, this is Sun Ce's move to win over his subordinates, but in Sun Quan's eyes, he only sees a strong brotherhood.

Now Sun Quan's heart has changed a lot, and he decided to do it casually, and in the face of Da Qiao, who already has a good impression of him, how can he refuse. Besides, this is still the kindness of his eldest brother who sent him all the way, and it is a little bad not to accept it.

So Sun Quan agreed on the spot and asked the messenger to go back and thank Sun Ce. Subsequently, he sent someone to Jiangdong and told Mrs. Wu, after all, Sun Quan also knew that his mother was secretly giving him a marriage again, because this marriage had political significance, so Sun Quan didn't refuse it originally, but now that he has Da Qiao, there is no need to marry someone else. At least not in the short term. Otherwise, it would be a bit unpleasant to suddenly set up two marriages.

After arranging everything, Sun Quan didn't take this matter to heart anymore, he still had to concentrate all his energy now, attack Xuzhou, and kill Lu Bu.

Sun Quan didn't know that the messenger who got his response showed a cold smile after leaving Guangling.
