Yuan Shu could only try his best to give the order and order the surrounding Taishou to recruit troops to support the front line.

Fortunately, although Yang Feng's rebellion caused a lot of blows to Zhang Xun and others.

But the real number of soldiers and horses lost was not much.

Zhang Xun also had tens of thousands of troops stationed nearby.

It was impossible for Lu Bu to kill Shouchun for a while.

It is unlikely that Zhang Xun will lead the rest of these horses to defeat Lu Bu, but it is no problem to hold the only line of defense.

As long as you can hold on, breathe a sigh of relief.

Yuan Shu could take advantage of the remaining time to recruit soldiers and horses in various places and continue to send them to the front.

In order to calm the turmoil in Huaibei.

Yuan Shu was in a state of anxiety at the moment, and the news on the other side reached Xuchang.

Cao Cao summoned a meeting with many of his ministers.

When Yuan Shu announced his ascension to the throne and became emperor, Cao Cao's spies had already spread the news to Xuchang quickly.

At that time, Cao Cao had already ridiculed Yuan Shu greatly.

thinks that Yuan Shu is cocooning himself, which is tantamount to digging his own grave and seeking his own death.

Cao Cao, who was still a little jealous of Yuan Shu and regarded Yuan Shu as his great enemy in life, also recognized the reality clearly from this Yuan Shu's eagerness to become the emperor, this Yuan Shu was just a clown jumping off the beam.

After he solved Zhang Xiu and had no worries, he had to free up his hands to deal with Yuan Shu.

Unexpectedly, this opportunity did not make him wait too long.

On the top of the main hall in Xuchang, Cao Cao summoned the ministers, who were still confused and didn't know what was going on.

"Ming Gong, what happened? Seeing that you've been smiling, isn't there something good? ”

Guo Jia was in the crowd, took the initiative to stand up, and asked Cao Cao a question.

In fact, among the people present, Guo Jia's status is not high, compared to Xun Yu and Cheng Yu, Guo Jia is just a small strategist who has just joined Cao Cao's command.

After all, it was Xun Yu who recommended him to replace the dead drama Zhicai, which made Cao Cao pay attention to it.

However, because a few days ago, Guo Jia described Cao Cao with a theory of ten wins and ten defeats, which made Cao Cao quite important to Guo Jia, so Guo Jia was more casual in front of Cao Cao.

"Fengxiao, hahaha, naturally it's a good thing, I almost couldn't hold back and laughed."

"Oh? What is a good thing about Ming Gong, it is better to be happy alone than to be happy with everyone, let us listen to it when you say it. ”

Guo Jia and everyone present became interested at once, and Xun Yu also came up and asked.

"Gong Cao, what you're talking about is not what happened in Huaibei recently, right?"

Xun Yu's news is relatively well-informed, after all, his family power in Yuzhou is huge, the entire Xuchang, and even Yingchuan are the world of his Xun family, and the news nearby, but whenever there is a little wind and grass, the Xun family will be the first to know.

Because of this, Xun Yu had already guessed in his heart why Cao Cao was laughing, and couldn't help but ask.

Xun Yu did this to show the strength of their Xun family in front of Cao Cao, so that Cao Cao could pay more attention to their family.

Cao Cao listened to Xun Yu's words, his face remained unchanged, but his expression stagnated slightly, but it only changed slightly, and soon turned into a normal laughter, and praised Xun Yu.

"Wen Ruo is still well-informed, I didn't expect to know the news of Huaibei so soon."

This time, Cheng Yu and Guo Jia were even more curious, and they both showed doubts for a while, looking at Cao Cao and Xun Yu, waiting for the two of them to solve their doubts.

"Brother Wenruo, you should tell me what the news is, it's so funny."

Guo Jia and Xun Yu are old friends, although Xun Yu is a few years older than him, but the Xun family and the Guo family are both big families in Yingchuan, and the two have known each other for a long time, otherwise Xun Yu would not have recommended Guo Jia to Cao Cao.

Cao Cao didn't let everyone wait too long, and when Guo Jia asked, he quickly answered.

"Actually, it's not a big deal, that is, not long ago, Yuan Shu sent his son to Xuzhou to ask for marriage, but I didn't expect that Lu Bu actually rejected Yuan Shu's proposal, and for this reason, he also sent soldiers and horses to Huaibei to loot."

"Yuan Shu was furious because of this, and actually ordered a crusade against Lu Bu, so he recruited a lot of people and led people to Huaibei to find trouble with Lu Bu."

"Guess what?"

Cao Cao sold a pass, and did not say it directly, but asked Guo Jia and Cheng Yu, wanting to see what the two advisers around him would have on this battle.

After Guo Jia listened, he quickly calculated in his mind, and soon showed a disdainful look.

"Yuan Highway's move is really stupid, now it is the time of the autumn harvest, it is not good to be busy with the autumn harvest, he led the soldiers and horses to find trouble with Lu Bu, isn't this making trouble for himself."

"Although Lu Bu is brave and unstrategic, he still has a lot of generals who can fight well, and Yuan Highway has no elite soldiers and good generals, so most of them will not be able to get any benefits in this battle."

Guo Jia is actually not stupid, even if he can't guess what happened to this matter, he can make Cao Cao laugh, this matter must be a big loss for Yuan Shu, otherwise there is no laughing point at all.

"Hahaha, Feng Xiao is really smart, you can guess this."

"That Yuan Shu not only didn't get any bargains, but instead lost his troops and generals, and almost lost tens of thousands of troops."

After that, Cao Cao told the news that his spies had found out.

Guo Jia and Cheng Yu, who only listened, were shocked.

"That Lu Bu actually used a divisive tactic, saying that he had surrendered Yang Feng and others, and directly disintegrated Yuan Shu's army of 100,000, Gao, this is really a clever move!"

"Yes, there are masters around Lu Bu."

Cao Cao also had to sigh with emotion, for Lu Bu, who had always looked down on him, he didn't expect to have such an operation, but Cao Cao knew that this was definitely not Lu Bu who came up with it himself, but had a master by his side to guide him.

Guo Jia didn't particularly care about this, compared with Yuan Shu, Lu Bu also had no threat, and there was a Liu Bei in Xuzhou who was enough for Lu Bu to toss.

The top priority was to take advantage of Yuan Shu's illness to take his life, and then Guo Jia took the initiative to come to the table.

"Ming Gong, our chance has come."

"Oh?"

"Yuan Shu is a wolf with ambitions, risking the world's disapproval to take the opportunity to become the emperor, which is a great rebellion, but now he has been hit hard by Lu Bu, and his strength has been greatly reduced."

"It's better for Duke Ming to take this opportunity to play Your Majesty, and let Your Majesty give an order to order the surrounding princes to crusade against the puppet emperor Yuan Shu, presumably Lu Bu, Liu Bei, Liu Biao and others are very willing to take advantage of this opportunity to beat the water dogs."

Guo Jia's suggestion actually won Cao Cao's heart, and he also had this intention, and now Guo Jia put forward this idea again, which made him immediately agree.

"Fengxiao, you still understand me."

"Pass my order, prepare grain and grass, and let's go to crusade against the puppet emperor Yuan Shu!"
