Chen Gong originally had some opinions about Cao Cao because of Lu Bohao's incident, and later persuaded him not to attack Xuzhou, but he didn't listen, which exacerbated the contradiction, so he persuaded Zhang Miao: "Now that the imperial court is declining, the localities are divided, and the heroes are rising, you are now leading a team of thousands of people, but you are restricted everywhere, don't you think this is inappropriate?" Now Cao Cao basically took all his men and horses to attack Xuzhou, Yanzhou is empty, and now you have Lu Bu, the world's first warrior, if you take Yanzhou with him, then you can try to dominate the Central Plains. ”

Chen Gong's suggestion made Zhang Miao's heart flutter, so he asked Lu Bu to lead his troops to attack Yanzhou, and soon occupied Puyang, only Juancheng, Dong'e, and Fanxian were three cities that were defended by soldiers, and they were not attacked, and all the other cities were occupied.

Cao Ren wanted to take back the city, but he couldn't defeat it after repeated attacks, so he could only complain to Cao Cao.

Cao Cao knew what Yanzhou meant to him, and sighed: "If Yanzhou is lost, I will really be homeless, and the matter of Xuzhou can only be put aside." ”

Guo Jia said: "In this situation, Xuzhou must not be able to fight, and it just so happens that Liu Bei can also sell him a favor, and we will withdraw from the army and go to Yanzhou to quell the chaos." ”

At this time, Cao Cao's thinking was still clear, so he agreed, so Guo Jia handed over the reply letter to Yuyi.

After receiving the letter, Yuyi bowed and asked, "Your Excellency is definitely not an extraordinary person, I am afraid that the unborn strategist that my teacher said, Guo Jia." ”

Guo Jia was arrogant, naturally he didn't take Yuyi in his eyes, and was about to leave after handing over the letter, but as soon as Yuyi's words came out, he became a little interested and said, "I don't know where you studied here?" ”

"Teacher Jia Xu!" Yuyi replied.

Although Jia Xu has a strategy to reach the sky, he is not very popular and low-key, so many people don't know, Guo Jia just sneered and said: "I don't know this person, but I am still very happy that he knows me." ”

Yuyi took the letter, looked at the sergeant who was packing up his things outside, and asked tentatively: "You won't persuade Cao Cao, first use the letter to coax us, and then attack Xuzhou, if so, then it is not kind." ”

Guo Jia was shocked in his heart, and instantly increased his attention to Yuyi, he didn't expect that this young man of the same age as himself in front of him could actually think of this step, it really can't be underestimated, and said, "You think too much." With that, he left.

Yu Yi just smiled and said to Guo Jia's back: "If the edge is too strong, you will suffer, this is what my master told me!" ”

When Guo Jia heard this, he paused for a few seconds before continuing to leave.

Yuyi quickly returned to Xuzhou with the letter, told everyone what had happened, and handed the letter to Liu Bei.

Tao Qian was very happy when he heard this, so he prepared to hold a feast, but Yu Yi stopped him and said: "Cao Cao can't be inferred by common sense, we still have to have an eye, lest he kill the horse pistol." ”

Suddenly, someone reported that Yanzhou was occupied by Lu Bu.

After hearing the news, everyone seemed very happy, Yu Yi thought of Guo Jia's expression, roughly judged the true situation of this matter, and said: "Yanzhou is Cao Cao's base, if something goes wrong in Yanzhou, he really has no way out, so this time he really retreated." ”

Zhang Fei was a little puzzled and said, "How could these three family slaves suddenly attack Yanzhou?" ”

"Haha, since the Chang'an Rebellion, it is said that he has taken refuge in many people, but everyone does not take him in, only Zhang Miao is willing to take him in."

Yu Yi smiled.

When he arrived here, Tao Qian suddenly realized and said, "This is Chen Gongtai helping me." ”

He told everyone that Chen Gong went to Cao Cao to intercede, and then went to Zhang Miao.

At this time, the mystery was finally solved, and it was obvious that Chen Gong had lobbied Zhang Miao to launch a surprise attack when Cao Cao's rear was empty, which was really a clever chess move.

So the banquet was held as scheduled, and Tao Qian also sent people to call Kong Rong, Tian Kai, Yun Chang, and Zilong outside the city to join Cheng and drink together.

Liu Bei sat in the position of the guest, Tao Qian sat on the side, after three rounds of drinking, Tao Qian arched his hand to everyone, and said: "I am already very old, and my two sons are not very competitive, it is really difficult to take on the heavy responsibility, Liu Gong is a relative of the Han family, noble virtue, can take over Xuzhou for me, I am willing to step down and go home to recuperate." ”

Unexpectedly, Tao Qian was very resolute, Yu Yi hoped in his heart that Liu Bei would be able to take over this burden, so that he could occupy a place in the Central Plains, and with his virtue, he would definitely be able to attract a large number of talents. After having this foundation, he gradually expanded, took Beihai, Dingqingzhou, and competed with Cao Cao, then the Central Plains could be determined, but he didn't say it, because he still remembered Liu Bei's angry expression last time.

Liu Bei said: "Kong Rong asked me to help rescue Xuzhou for the sake of righteousness, and now I occupy Xuzhou without any basis, and the people of the world think I am ungrateful." ”

Mi Zhu came out and persuaded: "Now that the Han family is weak and the society is overturned, it is a good time to make contributions, the population of Xuzhou is very rich, and the household registration has reached one million, and only people like Liu Zhijun can lead it, please don't resign." ”

Liu Bei still didn't agree, and said, "Don't persuade you anymore about this matter, I can't agree." ”

Chen Deng also came out to advise: "Our lord is indeed a little sick and can no longer manage things, I hope you don't shirk." ”

Liu Bei defended: "Yuan Shao IV, the third duke, returned to the sea, he is in Shouchun, why don't you give Xuzhou to him?" ”

Yu Yi felt that this was a bit irresponsible, and said: "Although Yuan Shao is the third prince of the fourth world, but the experience of the princes of the Eighteenth Road fully proves that this person is not a person who has achieved great things, you see that his younger brother listened to the rumors and did not give Sun Jian food, and he could break through Chang'an in one fell swoop, he resolutely refused to send troops, and gave Xu Xuran to him, didn't he send meat to the tiger's mouth?" ”

Kong Rong also looked down on Yuan Shao, and said: "Yuan Shao is not as good as you see, today's incident is your fate, if you don't take it, you will definitely regret it in the future!" ”

Liu Bei is still very resolute, but he refuses to accept Xuzhou.

At this time, Yu Yi saw this characteristic of Liu Bei, he was really a little stubborn, those who become big things should be informal, and even this kind of thing has to be entangled for so long, so when encountering other things, will it also let the opportunity slip away?

Tao Qian, who was on the side, saw Liu Bei so resolute, and suddenly burst into tears, and said, "If you leave me, then I will die under Jiuquan." ”

Yu Yi persuaded: "It's a rush to obey the power, although Tao Qian will give Xuzhou to you, but don't be mistaken, this is not your private territory, you are managing this place on behalf of the Han Dynasty, and it is the local people who benefit, besides, is the evaluation of outsiders really so important?" ”
