After Liu Biao left, Yu Yi knew that he should also leave, he was still worried about the master, but he didn't expect that everything was under control, these two strategies made Yu Yi's strategy level improve a lot, he bowed, cherished his voice, and left in the direction of Xiao Pei.

Cao Cao was marching in front, and suddenly heard that Zhang Xiu had attacked his rear again, and hurriedly took everyone back to rescue Ying, when he arrived, Zhang Xiu had already left, and the defeated soldiers told Cao Cao that if it wasn't for a pair of men and horses behind the mountain to block Zhang Xiu's way, then the loss would be greater.

Cao Cao hurriedly dismounted and asked who it was, the man dismounted and put his gun, and met Cao Cao, who was a general of Zhenwei Zhonglang, a native of Pingchun, Jiangxia, surnamed Li, Mingtong, and Wenda.

asked him why he was here, and replied: "Recently, I was guarding Runan, and I heard that the prime minister was fighting against Zhang Xiu and Liu Biao, so I came over to answer him. ”

Cao Cao named him the Marquis of Jiangong and guarded the western boundary of Runan, in case Zhang Xiu and Liu Biao, Li Tong bowed and left.

After returning to Xudu, Cao Cao showed Sun Ce's meritorious service to Emperor Xian, was named a rebellious general, gave him the title of Marquis of Wu, sent an envoy to Jiangdong, and ordered to prevent and suppress Liu Biao.

After Cao Cao returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion, all the officials paid homage, and Xun Yu asked: "When the Prime Minister walked to Anzhong, how did he know that he would defeat the thieves?" ”

Cao Cao said: "At that time, there was no way out, there would definitely be a battle to the death, and I slowly lured in order to plot secretly, so I knew that I would definitely be able to win." ”

Xun Yu bowed, and he admired this idea.

Then Guo Jia came in, and Cao Cao said, "Why are you here?" ”

Guo Jia took out a letter from his sleeve, handed it to Cao Cao, and said, "Yuan Shao sent someone to send a letter to the prime minister, saying that he was going to send troops to attack Gongsun Zan and wanted to borrow some money, food, and soldiers and horses. ”

Cao Cao sighed: "How did I hear that Yuan Shao was preparing to attack Xudu, and now that he saw me coming back, he changed his other thoughts. After finishing speaking, he began to open Yuan Shao's letter, then read and scolded, and saw that the content in it was very arrogant, and did not take anyone in his eyes at all, so he asked Guo Jia on the side, and said: "Yuan Shao is so rude, I want to crusade against him, but my ability is not enough, what should I do?" ”

Guo Jia said: "Liu Bang is not defeated by Xiang Yu, this is known to everyone, Gaozu can only win by intelligence, although Xiang Yu is strong, but he was captured by Gaozu, now Yuan Shao has failed, and the prime minister has ten wins." Although Yuan Shao's troops were large, they were not to be feared; Yuan Shao's etiquette is varied, but the prime minister goes with the flow, which is a moral victory; Yuan Shao does not have the reputation of being a teacher, and the prime minister conforms to the time of heaven, which is a victory in righteousness; Since Emperor Huan of the Han Dynasty and Emperor Ling, the political system has been too loose, but the prime minister has seized it to correct it, which is a victory in governance; Yuan Shao was tolerant of foreign ministers and suspicious of internal ministers, so the talents appointed were all his relatives, and the prime minister was concise and clear on the outside, and he was only able to employ talents, which was a victory in terms of measurement; Yuan Shao has a lot of strategies, but very few are really implemented, and the prime minister will act if he has a good strategy, which is a victory in strategy; Yuan Shao specially recruited some honorary people, and the prime minister treated people with sincerity, which was a victory in virtue; Yuan Shao only cares about his own family and ignores the feelings of others, and the prime minister is often afraid that there will be inconsiderate places, which is the victory of benevolence and righteousness; Yuan Shao likes to listen to slander, while the prime minister listens to both the clear, which is a victory in Qingming; Yuan Shao always confuses right and wrong, the prime minister has strict law and discipline, this is a victory in the law, Yuan Shao likes to bluff, does not know the art of war, the prime minister wins more with less, and uses soldiers like a god, this is a victory in terms of force. To sum up, the prime minister has ten victories and Yuan Shao has ten defeats, so it will not be difficult to defeat Yuan Shao. ”

Cao Cao was a little surprised after hearing this, how could such a thoughtful summary be made if it wasn't for a long time of observation, so he smiled and said, "As the public said, what should I do next?" ”

Xun Yu on the side also sighed in his heart after hearing this, and said: "Guo Jia's theory of ten wins and ten defeats is similar to what I thought, but I am not as comprehensive as he thought, although Yuan Shao has many troops, there is nothing to be afraid of!" ”

Then the two pointed out the current main spearhead and said: "Compared with Yuan Shao, Lu Bu of Xuzhou is the prime minister's henchman!" Now that Yuan Shao is going north to conquer Gongsun Zhan, we should take this opportunity to destroy Lu Bu first, then sweep the southeast, and then plot against Yuan Shao, this is the best policy, otherwise we will attack Yuan Shao, and Lu Bu will definitely come to the rear to sneak attack, and the harm is really not shallow. ”

The so-called heroes saw the same thing, and Cao Cao immediately adopted this suggestion and began to gather everyone to discuss how to crusade against Lu Bu.

Xun Yu said: "You can send someone to make an appointment with Liu Bei first, wait for his reply, and after knowing some details, we can move troops." ”

So Cao Cao sent a letter to Liu Bei on the one hand, and treated Yuan Shao's envoy favorably, giving Yuan Shao a great name, and was named a general, a lieutenant, and the governor of Ji, Qing, You, and four states, and then wrote a letter privately, saying: "The general can go to conquer Gongsun Zhan, I should help." ”

After Yuan Shao got this secret letter, he was very happy and immediately prepared to attack Gongsun Zhan.

After Yuyi set off from Nanyang, he secretly traveled in the direction of Xiaopei, and suddenly remembered the clues that Red said earlier, and felt that Cao Cao retreated, and there should be no big waves in the Central Plains, so he was ready to go to Luoyang to see, for him, although he met some women, but most of them were some unknown names, only Diao Xue He really liked it.

Marching to Hanoi, in an inn, he suddenly heard someone talking, Yuyi listened carefully, it turned out that Yuan Shao was gathering troops and horses, preparing to attack Gongsun Zhan.

In the early days, when Liu Bei was still the commander of Pingyuan County, Gongsun Chan and Yuan Shao had a fight, and Tian Feng also attacked Daoxiang Village with soldiers and horses halfway, and was later killed and retreated by Yuyi, Yuan Shao at that time did not have the current strength, so he and Gongsun Chan had nothing to do, but Yuyi also noticed that Gongsun Chan was born in the market after all, and had no reputation, on the other hand, Yuan Shao, recruited a lot of literati and military generals, and quickly grew stronger in a few years of development, and the difference in strength between the two was a little big, so Yuan Shao considered attacking Gongsun Zhan, Ready to lay the foundation of Hebei.

A young man said: "Now that Yuan Shao has sent troops to Gongsun Zhan, and he has also borrowed soldiers and horses from Cao Cao of Xudu, it seems that this time it is inevitable." ”

Another middle-aged man said: "Fortunately, we are relatively stable here, but the people of Hebei have suffered and have to suffer from war." ”

Yu Yi just shook his head when he heard this, drank the wine in his mouth with a smile, checked out and prepared to leave, these young people just saw the appearance of things, and there was no value in coming forward to chat.

Out of the inn, Yuyi was about to continue to march in the direction of Luoyang, and suddenly saw a secret code on the wall at the back of the inn, and he immediately came to an abandoned temple according to the instructions of the code.
