Xiahoudun half-squinted his eyes and gave his own opinion.

"Liu Qi, that waste can also be successful? It seems that Liu Bei has contributed a lot this time, Meng De, you have to think of a way. ”

Xun Yu saw that Cao Cao's face was gloomy, so he added after Xiahoudun's words.

"Liu Bei's contribution is certain, but it has also gained a lot because of it, Liu Qi has Zhang Fei as the lieutenant of Xicheng and Shen Tan as the lieutenant of Shangyong, and he has already obtained two pieces of land in the name of his two righteous brothers."

"Liu Bei is a hero, and he has not met him all these years, but in just two or three years in Jingzhou, he has obtained several talents, and he has successively obtained the land to establish his career, and it may be difficult to control it if he is not clamped down."

Cao Cao stood up and waved his hand to signal the guards at the door to step forward, and he wanted to urgently summon Guo Jia, Jia Xu and others to conspire with his ministers.

Seeing Cao Cao's order, Xiahoudun couldn't help frowning and reminded: "Meng De, Yanzhou is waiting for Wang Shi to look through, and now the army is about to set off, is it not to defeat Yuan Shao first, and then turn back to find a way to deal with Liu Bei?" In addition, Xicheng is sandwiched between two mountains, and even if Liu Bei gets here, he can't use it."

Cao Cao's face was full of bitterness: "Why did Yuan Rang say this?" Do you think Liu Bei only has one Xicheng? ”

"Or else?"

Xiahoudun looked innocent, he first looked at Cao Cao, and then looked at Xun Yu for help.

"Wen Ruo, you tell him."

"Well, Liu Qi is mediocre and incompetent, if there is no help from Liu Bei, let alone defeating Zhang Lu and winning Handong, it is not easy to make a career in Jingzhou, I expect him to move the administrative office to Xicheng, and at the same time play two captains and other measures, all from Liu Ye or Zhuge Liang's strategy, he is ostensibly the Taishou of Hanzhong, and the actual person in charge is Liu Bei."

"I see."

After hearing this, Xiahoudun suddenly realized, and immediately asked Cao Cao: "Meng De also thinks so?" Liu Bei has lost Xuzhou and abandoned Runan in recent years, running around like a lost dog, I didn't expect it to happen so quickly, and he is now hiding behind Liu Qi, it is not easy for us to figure out. ”

Cao Cao shook his head and sighed: "You finally figured it out, so if you don't get rid of the big trouble, how can I rest assured that I will go north?" ”

"Amount"

Xiahoudun scratched his head embarrassedly.

Seeing this, Xun Yu added: "Although Liu Bei borrowed Liu Qi to occupy Handong, his strength is still relatively weak, and most of the counties in Handong are mountainous and the roads are dangerous, and it is extremely difficult to succeed. ”

"Well, what Wen Ruo said is very true."

Cao Cao frowned and agreed: "The hinterland of Hanzhong is fertile, the population is large, and there are lofty mountains and mountains around it, which are easy to defend and difficult to attack. ”

Xiahoudun shouted: "Since Meng De has such a foresight, he must not let him succeed, and quickly find a way to restrain it." ”

"That's why I asked Feng Xiao, Wen and them to discuss, in the past, he and Liu Bei were cooking wine in the back garden to talk about heroes, and they once said that the heroes of the world only make the king and Cao, and regret not listening to Wen Ruo's words and getting rid of them as soon as possible, so that today it has caused such a big disaster."

Cao Cao held the case with emotion, and then waved his hand to the two of them: "Don't stand still, sit down and wait for someone slowly, it's not too late now, the day won't fall yet." ”

"Oh."

"Yui."

Xiahoudun and Xun Yu sat down on the left and right of Cao Cao's head, and on the way to wait for Guo Jia and Jia Xu, they had an in-depth exchange with Cao Cao on the matter of Xu Du.

Everyone waited for a long time, and Guo Jia, Jia Xu and others came in a hurry.

Cao Cao immediately shared the situation in Handong and asked several advisors to come up with a countermeasure as soon as possible.

Guan Yu had said before that he would repel Zhang Lu, so everyone was not surprised to hear the news.

Guo Jia also foresaw Liu Bei's occupation of Handong in advance, and he was also the first to offer advice in the face of Cao Cao's inquiries at this moment.

"Liu Bei has advantages and disadvantages according to Handong, in fact, Ming Gong doesn't need to be overly nervous"

Before Guo Jia finished speaking, he was rudely interrupted by Xiahoudun: "Guo Fengxiao, you are a military advisor sacrificing wine, you must know that there is no joke in the army, Liu Bei will plot Hanzhong if he occupies Handong, how can you say that he still has disadvantages?" ”

"General Xiahou, don't be impatient."

Guo Jia smiled and comforted Xiahoudun, and continued to explain to Cao Cao: "Liu Bei fled from Runan to Jingzhou, although Liu Biao accepted him, but secretly guarded against him, so his strength alone has not increased, and now Guan Yu guards Wancheng, and let Zhang Fei serve as the captain of Xicheng, which has expanded the sphere of influence on the surface, but in fact, due to the division of troops in two places, it has weakened its own strength. ”

"Huh? This is a novel and interesting point of view, so go on. ”

Cao Cao was overjoyed when he heard this, and unconsciously put his kneeling legs cross-legged in front of him in a relaxed posture.

Guo Jia was secretly pleased that he was prepared, he nodded slightly to Cao Cao, and then added: "Before going north to fight, there has always been Xiaoxiao behind him, in fact, it is Sun Quan, Liu Biao, Liu Bei, and now Liu Bei has taken the initiative to divide his troops into two places, and he will definitely not be able to harass the southwest in a short time, Sun Quan and Liu Biao can also provoke a war, and Ming Gong can take the opportunity to destroy Yuan Shao in one go." ”

Cao Cao thought about it after hearing this, frowned and asked: "According to Fengxiao's meaning, can I ignore Liu Bei?" ”

"Of course not."

Guo Jia shook his head and said: "As General Xiahou said, if Liu Bei is allowed to be like raising a tiger, so this matter must be avoided, I suggest sending someone to infiltrate Hanzhong, so as to always remind Zhang Lu to be on guard, as long as he deploys troops at key passes, it will be difficult for Liu Bei to go against the current." ”

"Hmm"

Cao Cao frowned and did not express an opinion, but secretly observed the reactions of others.

Xun Yu questioned at this time: "I remember the last time Jiang Ziyi entered Hanzhong, Feng Xiao also said this at that time, the terrain of Handong is actually similar to Hanzhong, Liu Bei can defeat Zhang Wei in Handong, can't he use the same method to capture Hanzhong?" ”

"It is precisely because the battle situation is unclear that it is necessary to send someone to Hanzhong, Zhang Wei knows the reason for the defeat, only by understanding Liu Bei's method of victory, can we see the prescription and get the medicine."

Guo Jia's reaction was very fast, and his answer to Xun Yu's words was impeccable.

Xun Yu stroked his long hair and affirmed: "If Feng Xiao wants to say this, it seems to have a certain truth." ”

"I also want to know how Liu Bei won, who does Feng Xiao think he should send for this?" Cao Cao looked at Guo Jia meaningfully.

Guo Jia arched his hand and replied: "As the so-called two masters are not bothered by anything, they can still send Jiang Ziyi there." ”

"Do you have any other candidates?"

After Cao Cao finished speaking, he glanced around the hall, and when he saw that no one answered, he said to Guo Jia: "I don't bother the two masters with anything, so you and Jiang Gan will explain it well, and let him do things well." ”

"Yui."

Guo Jia bowed his hand again, and then made a suggestion after the salute: "Ming Gong, General Zixiao's cavalry is not bad, and he should not stay in Kunyang to defend Guan Yu, you should replace him with other generals, and the main cavalry should be used to break Yuan Shao." ”

"Bong-hyo and I see the same."

Cao Cao nodded in affirmation, and couldn't help but look at Jia Xu, he already had a replacement candidate in his heart, that is, Liu Biao's former vassal and Jia Xu's former lord Zhang Xiu.
