"Ahem~"

On the main seat, Prime Minister Cao Cheng took out his pipe and lit it, took a puff, exhaled slowly, and his body relaxed a little.

"Yuan Shao of Hebei, a shameless traitor, has repeatedly provoked the prime minister, and the prime minister is ready to start a war with Yuan Shao, what do you think?"

As soon as Cao Cao's words fell, all the civil and military people in the hall were talking.

Yuan Shao of Hebei Province sat on the four states of Hebei, Qing, You, and You, and ran Hebei for six years, with millions of soldiers under his command, and was the most powerful and richest prince in the world.

And Cao Jun has only been based in Xudu for less than two years, and the soldiers are only 130,000, and there is no one and no food and grass in their hands.

The five-fold power of the Cao army can only be on a par with Yuan Shao in Hebei, how can this kind of battle be fought?

Many people think that if the two sides really fight, they should be prepared to run away in advance.

"Prime Minister can't!"

Wenchen, Xun Yu, Cheng Yu, Zhong Xuan and others all stood up and admonished, saying that Yangzhou Yuan Shu and Xuzhou Lu Bu have not yet subsided, our army lacks food and grass, and this is not a good time to fall out with Yuan Shao.

Hum~

Cao Cao snorted coldly, a trace of disappointment flashed in his eyes, and he suddenly noticed that Guo Jia hadn't gotten up yet, "Fengxiao, why don't you persuade the true appearance?" ”

Guo Jia stood up leisurely and arched his hand, "Prime Minister, my subordinates think that Cheng is too powerful compared to Yuan Shao, and he can win any fight, and it is also a good idea to start a war with Yuan Shao at this time, everything depends on the Prime Minister." ”

"Oh? Fengxiao, do you think that Benxiang with more than 100,000 soldiers and horses can defeat Yuan Shao, who has a million soldiers? ”

Cao Cao asked excitedly.

In fact, without the persuasion of the ministers, Cao Cao also knew that his basic plate was not as strong as Yuan Shao, but he was disgusted by Yuan Shao just now, and his heart was hurt a lot.

At this time, he needs the support and comfort of his men, not the blow.

Guo Fengxiao's words immediately cheered him up.

"Prime Minister Rongyu, Gaozu's power is not as good as Xiang Yu, you know this, but Gaozu defeated Xiang Yu by strategy, so although Xiang Yu was strong, he was still defeated in the end. Now compared with Yuan Shao, the prime minister has ten victories and Yuan Shao has ten defeats, although Yuan Shao is strong, the prime minister is not unable to defeat Yuan Shao, but must be able to defeat Yuan Shao. ”

Guo Jia said leisurely.

"There are ten victories in this phase? How to come to Shisheng, Feng Xiao quickly talk about it! ”

Prime Minister Cao asked excitedly.

Guo Jia smiled slightly, and suddenly saw the fan in Xun You's hand, he took it and fanned it, and said while fanning,

"First, Yuan Shao pays attention to pomp and etiquette, and the prime minister treats people and things out of nature, which is better than Yuan Shao in the way of life.

Second, Yuan Shao, as a courtier, if he raised an army to attack, he would be rebellious, and Prime Minister, you respect the Son of Heaven to lead the world, which is morally superior to Yuan Shao.

Third, since Emperor Huan and Emperor Ling, the government decree was lost in laxity, but Yuan Shao used laxity to remedy laxity, so there was a lack of law and discipline, and the order could not be issued, and the prime minister used harshness to correct laxity, so that officials of all sizes knew to abide by the law and discipline, which was better than Yuan Shao in governance.

Fourth, Yuan Shao is generous on the surface but suspicious in his heart, he is suspicious of employing people, and only trusts his relatives and children, while the prime minister is the same as he is on the outside, he is not suspicious in employing people, only looking at his talents, and not asking about relatives near and far, which is better than Yuan Shao in terms of measurement...."

The crowd listened attentively, nodding or shaking their heads as they listened.

Cao Xin listened but his face was strange, the legendary 'Ten Wins and Ten Defeats' was put forward at this time? Wasn't it before the Battle of Guandu? Is this chicken soup for the soul really useful?

"Hahaha~"

Just as he was questioning Guo Jiapai's Chicken Soup for the Soul, Cao Cao laughed heartily, walked into the hall in person, pulled Guo Fengxiao and laughed,

"Fengxiao said so good, where is the appearance as good as Fengxiao said, it is too good, it is too good, come to someone, give Fengxiao two altars of wine!"

"Thank you, Prime Minister!"

Guo Jia shouted loudly, his eyebrows fluttering with joy, as if he had eaten bee feces.

"Haha, everyone, what do you think of Fengxiao's ten wins and ten defeats?"

Cao Cao raised his head and looked at the crowd of Wenwu and asked.

"Guo sacrificial wine is high!"

"Guo Saijiu said it well!"

Seeing that the prime minister agreed with this 'ten wins and ten defeats', everyone hurriedly echoed it.

"Prime Minister, Guo Fengxiao said very well, our army will win against Yuan Shao, and the last general is willing to be the vanguard, leading 5,000 soldiers and horses to attack Yuan Shao, Hebei."

Cao Xin got up and said.

"Prime Minister, the last general is also willing to be the vanguard and lead 5,000 soldiers and horses to attack Yuan Shao, Hebei."

Cao Hong also stood up and said loudly.

"Prime Minister!"

Cao Ren, Xu Huang, Xiahou Yuan and other generals also stood up and expressed their willingness to be the vanguard and share the worries of the prime minister.

"This...."

Cao Cao and the strategists looked at the generals speechlessly, everyone said that just now, just slapping the mouth, how could this group of generals still take it seriously? Can you really win? All of them were stunned.

Cao Cao stroked his beard, "Fengxiao, if you fight Yuan Shao at this time, do you have a chance of winning?" ”

"Prime Minister, Lu Bu is Yuan Shao's minions, if the Prime Minister attacks Yuan Shao, Lu Bu will inevitably attack our army from behind, the Prime Minister might as well hit Lu Bu first and cut off Yuan Shao's minions."

Guo Fengxiao's meaning is very simple, Lu Bu is Yuan Shao's accomplice, and beating Lu Bu is beating Yuan Shao, what's the difference?

This is also to give Cao Cao a step, after all, Cao Cao just shouted that he wanted to beat Yuan Shao, and turned around and said that he would not fight, it would be too faceless.

The crowd sighed that this drunkard could really speak.

"Haha, what Feng Xiao said is reasonable, and then reward Feng Xiao with a jar of wine."

Cao Cao laughed.

"Thank you, Prime Minister!"

Guo Fengxiao jumped up with joy, according to this rhythm, he Guo Fengxiao will still lack wine to drink in the future? Do you still need to look at Cao Ziyu's face to beg for wine? Not at all!

Zhong Wenchen also breathed a sigh of relief, and it was good to continue to beat Lu Bu.

Playing Lu Bu is a small project, and it is easy to complete.

And Hebei Yuan Shao is too strong, the distance is far away, it is a big project, at this time to fight Yuan Shao will have to work overtime, and even the New Year will not be good.

Cao Xin pursed the corners of his mouth, since he doesn't fight, what will he do when he beats the drum and gathers the generals, and the princes of the beacon fire?

"Ziyu!"

At the end of the meeting, Cao Cao called out to Cao Xin.

"Prime Minister! Something? ”

Cao Xin asked.

"Ziyu, you are Nanyang Taishou, after the New Year, go back to Nanyang to sit in the town, govern the place, pacify the bandits, don't easily start a war with the surrounding princes, and don't use the sword soldiers lightly, our army doesn't have much food and grass."

Cao Cao said earnestly.

“？？”

Cao Xin was stunned, "Prime Minister, won't you fight Lu Bu next year?" ”

"Ahem, Ziyu, Lu Bu is already a trapped beast, you can destroy him without your appearance, you just sit in Nanyang, don't worry about the rest."

Cao Cao said with a dark face.

Xun Yu, Xun You, Guo Jia and others had different faces, originally they thought that the prime minister was relieved and didn't take Yuan Shao's discord plan to heart, but now it seems that the prime minister doesn't.

Cao Xin looked at Cao Cao, and then at the strategists, can someone tell me what happened, why did the prime minister suddenly ask General Ben to return to Nanyang?

"Prime Minister!"

Xun Yu took a step forward and said, "Xiaguan received the news that Lujiang Taishou Qiaorui and Sun Wentai are old acquaintances, and they also appreciate Sun Ce very much, and want to marry Sun Ce and switch to Sun Ce.

Sun Ce already has Huiji County, Danyang County, Luling County, Wu County, the strength is far beyond Yuan Shu, if Sun Ce annexes Lujiang and Yuzhang two counties, the power will inevitably be further strengthened. And General Yuan Rang and Taishou Yang Hong did not get along well, with the strength of the two of them, they could only keep Huainan County, and they wanted to intervene in the affairs of Lujiang and Yuzhang, but they were not caught. ”

Cao Cao's brows furrowed, and he looked at Cao Xin helplessly,

"Ziyu, you are the general of Pingnan, and the affairs of Yangzhou are also your business, then you will go to Yangzhou to sit in the town, ensure the stability of Huainan and Lujiang counties, and don't worry about other things, don't easily start a war with the surrounding princes, and don't use swords and soldiers lightly, our army doesn't have much food and grass."

These words are similar to just now, Cao Xin frowned when he heard this, what the hell is going on, what is Cao Cao going to do?

"Ziyu? Ziyu? Bastard, why are you wandering? ”

Cao Cao asked dissatisfied.

Cao Xin shook his head, "Prime Minister, from the time you came back from Huainan to the present, you have mentioned more than once that you want the last general to be the vanguard to attack Lu Bu, but today you will go to Nanyang for a while, and you will go to Lujiang for a while. ”

Cao Cao's face darkened, how can this be answered, could it be that Benxiang was wronged and wanted to prove his military talent in front of Yuan Shao and the princes, so he wronged you?

"Prime Minister, don't use suspicious people to be suspicious, this is where the prime minister is better than Yuan Shao."

Guo Jia said quietly.

"This..."

Everyone looked at Guo Jia together, it turned out that the theory of ten wins and ten defeats was not only chicken soup, but also a frame, used to frame the prime minister?

This trick is really high, too clever, and if the prime minister is wrong in the future, he can use this to advise.

Even Xun Yu's eyes looked at Guo Jia with a little appreciation.

Only the two brothers, Cao Cao and Cao Xin, frowned.

"Prime Minister, do you suspect that the end is going to rebel?"

Cao Xin asked confidently.

"What nonsense are you talking about."

Cao Cao scolded, "When did my brother suspect that you were going to rebel, it was your sister-in-law who told Benxiang, saying that you are fighting outside every day, and you will be 22 years old soon, and you don't even have a man and half a woman, your sister-in-law wants to reduce your work for you and let you have children, and your self-prime is a painstaking and painstaking ~, you actually doubt your true appearance?!" ”

Cao Cao clutched his chest, his expression was very painful and aggrieved.

Cao Xin was a little embarrassed, it turned out that this was the reason, so it seemed that Cao Cheng was still very concerned about his younger brother.

"Prime Minister, I'm sorry, it's the last general who misunderstood."

"I don't want to hear your explanation! After the New Year, you quickly go to Huainan to sit in the town, hurry up and have children, give birth to a few more, if there is no son-in-law, you Cao Ziyu do not want to go to the battlefield, this is the order of the prime minister, never change. ”

Cao Cao flicked his sleeves and left with a smug smile, leaving behind the strategists with a stunned face.

The strategists looked at the back of the prime minister, and secretly admired in their hearts, the prime minister's trick is really high, using children to suppress the rise of Cao Xin, which can not only achieve the effect of suppression, but also have no lack of warmth, too high, higher than Taibai Lou.

In addition, Cao Ziyu has been married for more than two years, and his wife is not pregnant yet, and there are no rumors of pregnancy in other concubines

Everyone looked at Cao Xin, their eyes gradually becoming strange, with a bit of pity and sympathy.

"Why are you looking at me like that?"

Cao Xin was disgusted by everyone's eyes.

"Ahem, it's okay, it's okay, I wish General Six an early birth of a noble son."

"Haha, the sixth general gave birth to a noble son early!"

"Cao Ziyu, born early, hahaha~"

Everyone giggled and clenched their fists.

Cao Xin looked at everyone and felt that there were ghosts in it.
