Hearing this, Guo Jia took a sip of wine, looked out the door, and a look of excitement appeared on his frivolous and proud face, and said, "General, what time is it?" ”

Cao Cao looked outside and said, "In June, the summer harvest is imminent." ”

Guo Jia wiped his mouth with his sleeve and said, "It's the time when the green and yellow are not connected." ”

Cao Cao sat upright, his face was puzzled, and said, "What does Feng Xiao mean by this?" ”

Seeing this, Guo Jia's expression became more serious, looked at Cao Cao, and said: "General, the Yellow Turban Army went from Qingzhou to Jizhou, Yanzhou, and Xuzhou, although there was a reason for Zhu Zhijun's powerful offensive, but it was not necessarily the case. ”

Cao Cao didn't speak, his expression was serious.

Guo Jia did not sell Guan Zi anymore, and said: "The Yellow Turban Army often coerces tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, or even millions of people, including the old, weak, women and children, they do not produce, they make a living by looting, Qingzhou has been plundered for many years, it has long been deserted, and the Yellow Turban Army has been looting and cannot find food, so they can only find another way out." ”

Cao Cao's eyes flashed with a sudden look, and he nodded slightly.

Guo Jia saw that Cao Cao didn't ask, so he took a sip of wine lightly and said: "Zhu Yuanjun has been ordered to suppress bandits in Qingzhou for more than a year, and with his ability, it is not that he can't be extinguished, but he can't." ”

Cao Cao frowned and said, "Why? ”

Cao Cao is still self-aware, his current ability and qualifications are more than a dozen streets behind Zhu Jun, and Zhu Jun can't level the Yellow Turban Army, isn't he coming for nothing?

Guo Jia said: "The Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army is as high as millions, except for a small number of them who entered Jizhou, Yanzhou, and Xuzhou last year, most of them were blocked in Qingzhou by Zhu Yuanjun, and there are at least two million, so many mouths, even if Zhu Yuanjun defeats them, what can he do in the future?" ”

Cao Cao's expression froze, his long narrow eyes widened, and he took a deep breath unconsciously.

Millions of Yellow Turban Army, how to settle? The amount of money needed will be incalculable! If it is not properly placed, the Yellow Turban Army will inevitably rise again!

But in an instant, Cao Cao looked at Guo Jia and said, "What is the big gift that Fengxiao wants to give me?" ”

Guo Jia picked up the wine jug, took a sip, his intuition was comfortable, and said with a smile: "I just said, now is the time when the yellow and yellow are not accepted, it is not easy for the Yellow Turban Army to survive the winter, and now is the most impoverished time, staring at the summer harvest with blood-red eyes, as long as they don't give them the opportunity to loot the summer grain, it is easy to lure down tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands, of the Yellow Turban Army with money and grain." There are many young and strong people in the Yellow Turban Army, and they have experience in battle formations, and after the general is recruited, they can get 100,000 people to quell the Qingzhou Rebellion, which should be within a year! ”

When Cao Cao heard this, his breathing became short, his long narrow eyes narrowed, and there was a beating of electricity.

If he pacifies Qingzhou, he can be crowned a marquis!

However, Cao Cao quickly calmed down and looked at Guo Jia and said, "Where did you get the money and food?" ”

If you want to appease hundreds of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of people, you need a lot of money and food, and it is not temporary, otherwise you will rebel and the consequences will be even more serious.

Guo Jia drank wine and said, "I just said, isn't it the summer harvest that the green and yellow are not accepted?" They were originally farmers, and they first harvested a wave from Beihai and Donglai counties, which was enough to last until the autumn harvest. Then the general can tuntian, hundreds of thousands of people can tuntian, and the grain produced is afraid that the imperial court will also be red. ”

Cao Cao sat up straight, his eyes flashing with a tiger's light, the corners of his face twitched with excitement, his fists clenched, and his heart was surging.

Guo Jia has drawn a clear route for him, and this route will greatly satisfy his 'meritorious' ambitions!

"How?" After just a moment, Cao Cao regained his calm expression, picked up the wine jug, took a sip of wine, and said with a smile.

Guo Jia deeply admired Cao Cao's self-control ability, and said recliningly: "There is no problem with the general's previous strategy, it is nothing more than a sudden encounter. ”

Cao Cao nodded and said with a smile: "I plan to attack everywhere." ”

Guo Jia blurted out: "Day and night. ”

After speaking, he regretted it a little and turned his head to look at Cao Cao.

Cao Cao was unusual, and laughed: "What Feng Xiao said is exactly what I want." I've been ordered to investigate, and I'll do it tonight. ”

Guo Jia didn't speak this time, drank leisurely, glanced at Cao Cao, and still had something to hide in his heart.

Cao Cao drank and looked out the door with Guo Jia's gaze, his heart was full of emotion, and his face was full of pride.

Night.

Cao Cao attacked in three ways and launched a night attack on the Yellow Turban Army near Zhuxu County.

I don't know if it was because it had never been attacked at night, or if it was despising Cao Cao, the village of 10,000 people was scattered and beheaded by more than 1,000 people.

Cao Cao did not ask for any prisoners and forcibly drove the Yellow Turban Army away.

Cao Cao didn't stop, and the next day he directly sent troops to Anqiu, pretending to attack, and after a full day, he didn't really attack.

That night was another night attack, this time the Yellow Turban Army was prepared, Cao Cao withdrew as soon as he found out, and then walked around the city, the drums thundered.

For five days, the Yellow Turban Army fled without a fight.

In mid-June, Cao Cao was overwhelmed and hit Chang'an directly.

It's still an old strategy, feints day and night, and constantly wears out the enemy.

Cao Cao rode a horse, looked at the small Chang'an City, touched his beard, and looked complacent.

Cao Ren was behind him and said, "General, there are more than 100,000 people in this small county town, I'm afraid it will not be easy to attack." ”

More than 100,000 people defended the city, even if the city was not big and desperately defended it, it was naturally not so easy to take.

What's more, Cao Cao's plan is not to forcibly attack the city - he wants people, not a senseless fight!

Cao Cao looked back and said, "Where did Fengxiao go?" ”

Cao Ren said: "The military advisor's wine was drunk, and he was so bad at mouth that he took Miaocai to find it in person." ”

With Xiahou Yuan here, Cao Cao was not worried, and said, "Keep an eye on the four gates, you can't let them run silently." ”

"Don't worry, I've got it all arranged." Cao Ren said.

Cao Cao snorted, holding his sword in his hand, and quietly spun around—he was a little anxious.

Xiahou Yuan, Xiahou Yuan, and Cao Ren have all followed Cao Cao many years ago, and they belong to the family and the hardcore brothers.

In the early hours of the morning, Guo Jiacai and Xiahou Yuan came back, Cao Cao came out of Xiahou Yuan's room, greeted him, and said curiously: "Fengxiao, Miaocai, where have you been?" ”

Xiahou Yuan looked at Guo Jia and stopped talking.

Guo Jia drank wine and said with a smile: "I asked Miaocai to send letters to the Yellow Turban Army in Beihai and Donglai. ”

Cao Cao was stunned and said, "Send a letter?" What letter? ”

Xiahou Yuan hurriedly said: "Meng De, the military advisor plans to attract all the Yellow Turban troops from all over the place. ”

Cao Cao's expression was slightly shocked, and he said, "How to attract?" ”

He knew Guo Jia's strategy, originally hoping to continuously drive the Yellow Turban Army eastward, so that the Yellow Turban Army would gather, and then the battle would be decided.

Xiahou Yuan said: "The military advisor asked me to pretend to be the Yellow Turban Army and send people to send letters to the Yellow Turban Army everywhere, saying that we brought hundreds of thousands of money and grain. In addition, the military advisor also asked me to send people to either harvest or burn down the farmland everywhere that had crops. ”

Cao Cao suddenly understood, his expression was a little obscure, and he turned to look at Guo Jia and said, "Fengxiao, I'm afraid that hundreds of thousands of people will come, are you sure?" ”

Guo Jia drank the wine, smiled calmly, and said, "Don't worry, let's see how many people come first." ”

Seeing him like this, Cao Cao knew that he had a plan, smiled more, and said, "Let's go, Yuan Rang has recovered a lot, let's drink a little with him today." ”

Naturally, the group had no objections, and entered Xiahoudun's ward with Cao Cao.

The next day, after a group of people washed, they gathered to discuss the war.

Xiahoudun was tightly wrapped, his face was still a little pale, and said: "Meng De, I think it is still surrounded by three missing one, and if they are all surrounded, they can eat and sleep with peace of mind." ”

Cao Cao ate the cake and said, "The main reason is that they are afraid that they will leak the news." ”

Xiahoudun glanced at Guo Jia and nodded knowingly.

Although they all trust Guo Jia, this time they are deeply suspicious of Guo Jia's plan.

In the huge Qingzhou, there are millions of Yellow Turban Army, can they really lure down tens of thousands of people?

Xiahoudun didn't dare to think about it at all!

"General, send a letter from Chang'an City." A soldier came to the doorway.

Cao Cao glanced at Guo Jia and others, and when Cao Ren took it, Cao Cao opened it and read it, and couldn't help but look strange and handed the letter to Guo Jia.

Guo Jia's hands were chopsticks and wine jugs, hesitated, put down the chopsticks, took the letter, swept his eyes, and couldn't help laughing: "General Huicheng, in the past, in Jinan, destroyed the altar, and its way is the same as Zhonghuang Taiyi, if you know, now you are even more confused." The Han line is exhausted, and the Huang family should stand. The great luck of the sky is not what you can do. Is this to recruit a general? ”

Xiahoudun, Xiahouyuan, Cao Ren and others were stunned at the same time, and they grabbed the letter to take a look, and couldn't help but look at each other.

This Yellow Turban Army really wrote to Cao Cao to recruit them!?

Cao Cao ate the cake in his hand, clapped his hands, got up and said, "Don't pay attention, continue to attack the city." ”

Xiahoudun, Xiahouyuan, and Cao Ren got up and went out with their hands.

It's not really a siege, but it's more real than a siege.

The 10,000-strong army, with a huge momentum, frightened the head of Chang'an County into a panic.

Three days passed, Cao Cao watched from a distance, and he could see the yellow turban soldiers on the city with withered faces and haggard faces.

Xiahou Yuan galloped from a distance, and when Cao Cao approached, he said happily: "Meng De, good news, the Yellow Turban Army is here everywhere, and it will arrive in a day or two at most, and the drag is very long, and there is no end in sight, there may be more than 100,000 people!" ”

The Yellow Turban Army is not an army, but a coercion of hundreds of people, both old and weak, women and children, because a young man often leads a large family.

More than 100,000 people, maybe less than 10,000 young and strong!

Cao Cao touched his beard and smiled, "Withdraw the troops!" ”

The sound of gold sounded, and the Cao army that feinted was like a tidal tide receding.

Cao Cao returned to the camp and couldn't wait to say to Guo Jia: "Fengxiao, as you expected, they are all here!" ”

Guo Jia was drinking wine and playing chess with himself, without raising his head.

Cao Cao was not in a hurry, and sat down to pour wine.

may have been infected by Guo Jia, Cao Cao has had some good wine recently.

In the next two days, Cao Cao did not make any moves, and kept a close eye on the Yellow Turban Army coming from Donglai County.

At night.

Cao Cao, Guo Jia, Xiahou Yuan, Cao Ren and others were lying on the ground in Xiahou Yuan's ward, sleeping soundly.

"General! Checkmate! ”

As he was sleeping soundly, a soldier came to the doorman and said urgently: "The Yellow Turban bandits are out of the city, as if they are going to attack the camp." ”

Cao Cao woke up violently, got dressed, took his sword, and strode out.

Cao Ren and Xiahou Yuan woke up at the same time, so they had to follow.

"Miaocai, you can stay for a while." Guo Jia leaned on the side of the bed and took a sip of wine.

Xiahou Yuan was stunned, caught a glimpse of Cao Ren leaving in a hurry, and came over and wondered, "What's the matter, military advisor?" ”

Guo Jia smiled slightly and said, "Give you a chance to make a great contribution." ”

Xiahou Yuan stepped forward violently and said urgently: "Military Division, what chance?" ”

Xiahoudun on the bed struggled to sit up and said, "Strategist, I'm fine!" ”
