"Hahaha......" Guo Jia didn't answer after listening, but smiled.

Cao Cao is also a smart person, and when he saw Guo Jia like this, he already thought that there must be something else in this matter. Cao Cao was not in a hurry, it didn't mean that the others were not in a hurry, but he heard Dian Wei shouting in a rough voice: "Guo Fengxiao, the lord is here, how can you be so presumptuous?" ”

"Uh......" Guo Jia looked at Dian Wei a little helplessly, since he beat this rough man, he has rarely had this kind of opportunity to wander, besides, Xiucai met the soldiers, and he didn't have to say anything: "Lord, this Li Ru is really a smart person, but it's a pity to follow Dong Zhuo." ”

Cao Cao still frowned, but he didn't think about the question clearly for a while, and couldn't help asking: "What is the mystery in this, Fengxiao will explain it to me." ”

Nodding, Guo Jia said slowly: "Lord, the first time I heard about the three of you, what did the lord think?" ”

Cao Cao thought for a moment and replied, "I'm very surprised." ”

"That's right, since the Han Dynasty, there are very few people who have been named the marquis, and now the three people are rewarded, the lord has this idea because the lord is in it, just ask, if the lord hears that others are the marquis, his heart must not just be surprised to say this. Li Ru's move is very ingenious, taking advantage of the matter of Zhuge Jin in Qingzhou, he rewarded him lavishly, and the eyes of the princes of the world couldn't help but focus on the three lords, but the pressure on Dong Zhuo's side will be much smaller, you know, now Dong Zhuo is a prince and a master, and he is feared by the people of the world. ”

Cao Cao listened, and his heart suddenly understood, although he was ambitious in his life, he was not psychologically prepared to be a feudal marquis, after all, he was not the one who unified the Central Plains at this time, and now he is only in Hanzhong, and a liehou naturally beat him a little dizzy, as the sentence said: happiness, came too suddenly.

"Hahaha, okay, this Li Ru is really a character, if I capture him alive, I will definitely spare his life." is worthy of Cao Cao, and soon walked out of the circle of the princes and became himself again.

Guo Jia, Xun Yu and the others looked delighted, looked at each other and said in unison: "The lord is wise." ”

After a pause, Guo Jia continued: "Now in the Central Plains, Yuan Shao, Liu Bei, and Zhuge Jin are three-legged, and there is bound to be a big war in the Central Plains, no matter who wins, in the end it will definitely be the biggest opponent of the lord." According to the detailed report, now the undercurrent in Chang'an City is surging, and the rebellion in Chang'an is only afraid that it is not far away, and the lord should prepare as soon as possible, and then we will send troops to attack Yongzhou. ”

Cao Cao has the plans of Guo Jia and Xun Yu, two top strategists, and has Hanzhong as the foundation, and the development is already obvious. Looking at the people in the house who were recalled by himself, Man Chong, Lu Qian, Mao Jue, Dian Wei, Le Jin, Xiahou Xuan, Xiahou Yuan, Cao Ren, Cao Hong, Cao Chun and others, Cao Cao was full of ambition in his heart.

In Changsha, Jingzhou, in the Taishou Mansion, Sun Jian, Sun Qiang, Sun Jing, Sun Ce, Zu Mao, Cheng Pu, Huang Gai, Ling Cao, and several young generals such as He Qi, Zhu Huan, Zhu Zhi, and Chen Wu were present.

"Now, Yuan Shao, Cao Cao, and Zhuge Jin, who are also members of the Dong Alliance, are all listed as liehous, but we are still trapped in one place. Liu Biaoqi is a great enemy of us, after Jingzhou for many years, with the support of the family, what do you think, let's hear it. On the main seat, Sun Jian sat there, mentioning the old man, with a little helplessness on his face.

Among the people, they are all rough people, if it comes to leading troops to fight, these men will not lose to anyone, but Sun Jian asked, but the group was stumped. In the end, Zhu Zhi, who was born in a big family in Jiangdong, came out and said: "Lord, in the north of Jingzhou, Liu Biao has been operating for many years, and he thinks that we can turn to Jingnan, Wuling, Lingling, Hengyang, Guiyang, and Linhe. You can compete with Liu Biao, and you can also protect yourself when you retreat. ”

Sun Jian looked at everyone, saw that no one spoke, lowered his head and thought for a while, and finally confirmed it. Until this time, Sun Jian felt for the first time that there were still too few talents in his hands, especially in terms of literati, and the idea of recruiting talents took root in his heart.

Youzhou, Jixian County. At this time, Liu Yu had already seen the general trend of the world thoroughly, and gradually turned the power in his hands to Liu Bei, and released his subordinates Xian Yufu, Xian Yuyin, Qi Zhou, Yan Rou, Wei You, Tian Chou and others to Liu Bei. Among the people, except for Tian Chou, who couldn't get used to Liu Bei and resigned from his official position, the rest of them swore an oath of allegiance to Liu Bei.

The starry sky is clear, the courtyard is lined with torches, and the courtyard is bright. In the house, Liu Bei, Zhang Fei, Chen Dao, Xin Ping, Xin Bi, Gu Yong, Sun Qian, Jian Yong and others were all present.

"Ladies and gentlemen, Dong thief seized power, deceived the saint, and named Yuan Shao as a liehou this time, which will inevitably fuel Yuan Shao's ambitions. The previous campaign was temporarily suspended due to Zhuge Jin in Qingzhou, Yuan Shao will definitely not give up, do you have a good plan in your heart to retreat Yuan Shao? Liu Bei's voice was as flat as ever, and he said slowly.

Among the people, the strategists were mainly Gu Yong, Xin Ping, Xin Bi, Yan Rou, and Wei You, and Qi Zhou had been following Liu Yu's side to help, but he still had not entered the core of Liu Bei's forces. Several people glanced at each other, Xin Ping got up and replied: "Lord, the battle with Yuan Shao is imperative, now in the north of Youzhou, facing Karasuma and Xianbei, all of them are nomads, and our army only needs to hold on." Youzhou has no development depth, and the road of our army to the south was blocked by Yuan Shao, so this battle is imperative. ”

Liu Bei listened, but frowned: "I also know what Zhongzhi said, but Yuan Shao sits on the land of two states, and his power is far above us, so what can I do?" ”

Gu Yong got up and replied: "The lord doesn't need to worry, Yong is willing to recommend himself, go to Qingzhou, unite Zhuge Jin, and take Yuan Shao together." Zhuge Jin is a prince of a state, and his vision must be able to see that Yuan Shao's family is dominant and a threat to everyone, and Yong is confident that he will persuade him to send troops to fight Yuan Shao together. ”

Liu Bei listened, his heart was very uncomfortable, in fact, he was even more jealous of Zhuge Jin in his heart, his identity and status were infinite, thinking of himself, the Han family, but because of the middle of the family, he was not recognized by the royal family, and there was no right name in the world, but Liu Bei also knew in his heart that he really had no way to resist Yuan Shao now by himself, so he thought about it for a while and nodded in agreement.

This is also the advantage of Liu Bei, who can bend and stretch, and can be big and small. Seeing this, several strategists relaxed slightly, Yan Rou came out of the ranks, and said to Liu Bei: "The lord, Yuyang Gongsun Zhan, and the lord are no longer of the same heart, and the lord should take it as soon as possible to stabilize the rear." ”

Yan Rou is quite discerning, and he is the most strategic person under Liu Yu, but he was born poor and has never been ambitious.

Liu Bei was a little hesitant, he claimed to be "benevolent", but now he was going to send troops to attack his senior brother, and he hesitated in his heart: "Gongsun Zhan went out with me, and I can't bear to attack him, but do you have other strategies?" ”

For Liu Bei, Yan Rou still had a very clear grasp, and when he heard this, he said: "Back to the lord, so you can negotiate with that Gongsun Zhan, return Liaodong County to him, and let him give up Yuyang County, at that time, the lord only needs to deploy troops in Liaoxi, which is enough to block Gongsun Zhan from the pass and not return." ”

This was not the best strategy, but Liu Bei was overjoyed when he heard it, and nodded in approval: "This is very good, this matter is like this." In one sentence, the fate of Gongsun Chan was decided.

This is the troubled times, the troubled times of endless conquest, and many times, fate is a troubled time that cannot be controlled by oneself.
