Cao Cao glanced at everyone and shook his head.

These people, except for Guo Jia, it seems that no one else has thought about this problem.

Actually, he thought about it.

The last time Xiao Pei and Lu Yi met, he felt in danger for a long time after he went back.

This Lu Yi was so young that he could take Xuzhou so quickly.

After taking Xuzhou, there were strategists such as Chen Deng, Chen Gong, and Yan Xiang into the account.

There are also fierce generals such as Zhang Liao and Gao Shun to open up territory.

The strength has become a lot stronger.

In this case, Lu Yi may shrink in Jiangdong and not move?

Obviously impossible.

The next step must be Jingzhou.

It's just that Cao Cao speculated that in a short period of time, Jiangdong would not make a move against Jingzhou.

First, Jiangdong has been at war in recent years.

It's just changed hands.

Jiangdong, Huiji and other places have hundreds of people and bandits to make trouble.

Therefore, Koto must now stop and recuperate.

Otherwise, the crisis is fraught.

But when Guo Jia said this today, he felt that Lu Yi might indeed take the opportunity to make a move on Jingzhou!

And, in a way he couldn't have imagined at all.

It's like taking Xuzhou.

And if he does it to Jingzhou in this short period of time, he is really powerless to deal with it.

In addition to Yuan Shao's pressure, the court has also recently begun to become unstable.

The Son of Heaven and some other officials began to behave again, and they were dissatisfied with him Cao Cao.

Although he pretended not to see it on the surface, in fact, he was already quietly arranging soldiers and horses, preparing to take the opportunity to "touch the melons along the vines" and arrest those people together and catch them all!

Therefore, he really couldn't draw troops to deal with the situation that Jiangdong might annex Jingzhou in a short period of time.

Looking at Guo Jia and seeing that he was obviously "unsatisfied", Cao Cao smiled and said: "Fengxiao, look at your confident appearance, tell me, how to deal with the current situation in Jiangdong?" ”

Guo Jia laughed and said: "I have a plan, although I can't prevent Jiangdong from annexing Jingzhou, but I can drag Jiangdong's annexation of Jingzhou to the greatest extent." ”

Cao Cao hurriedly said: "Come quickly!" ”

Guo Jia stood up, stood up in front of everyone and said, "My plan is divided into four steps. ”

Raising the first finger, Guo Jia said: "Although Jingzhou Liu Biao is a mediocre lord and has no great ambitions, he is not stupid. Otherwise, he would not be able to ride into Jingzhou alone. ”

"Sending someone to Jingzhou secretly to remind him to guard against Jingzhou is the easiest step."

Cao Cao nodded.

"The second step is to send envoys to the three counties of Changsha, Guiyang and Lingling."

"These three counties are now managed by Zhang Xian, a native of Changsha."

"In the past few years, Jingzhou Liu Biao has used troops in these three places several times, but to no avail."

"Why?"

"Because Zhang Xian has always regarded himself as Hanchen, he disdains to be in cahoots with Liu Biao in Jingzhou."

"Send a messenger, with the righteousness of the Son of Heaven, to ask Zhang Xian and Jingzhou to temporarily stop fighting and guard against Jiangdong."

"Once Jiangdong moves troops against Jingzhou, Zhang Xian will command the troops of the three counties of Changsha, Guiyang and Lingling, and join forces with Jingzhou to fight Jiangdong."

"The two places are at odds."

"Even if you can't stop Jiangdong, it's perfectly fine to hold back Jiangdong's footsteps so that Jiangdong can't quickly take Jingzhou."

"At the same time, send an envoy to contact Jiaozhou Shixie, and ask him to unite the people of Baiyue and the bandits to riot Jiangdong from the rear."

"Koto is even more uncomfortable."

Cao Cao nodded again and said, "Go on." ”

Guo Jia raised his third finger and came to the wall behind Cao Cao and Xun Yu, where a giant map hung there.

Guo Jia pointed to Hanoi and said: "Send the general to take Hanoi County and open up the territory north of the Yellow River." Then he ordered a capable person who could speak the Tao to guard Chang'an and contact the princes of Guanzhong. ”

"First, in the future, we will start a war with Yuan Shao, which can prevent these Guanzhong princes from taking the opportunity to make trouble."

"Second, Han Sui and Ma Teng's generations have always regarded themselves as ministers of the imperial court. If we can let them enter the court as officials, we can not only let them restrain the other princes in Guanzhong, but also let them rush to our aid to fight against Yuan Shao. ”

"In case, I mean in case, Zhang Xian and Liu Biao can't hold back Jiangdong's annexation of Jingzhou, and we are sandwiched between Jiangdong and Yuan Shao."

"At that time, we can fight while migrating in the direction of Guanzhong, then take Hanzhong, and finally occupy Yizhou."

"Yizhou is the country of abundance, easy to defend and difficult to attack, you only need to send a general to defend it."

"If it really comes to this desperate situation, we can also move the capital here."

"And Sikong will take heavy troops to guard the area from Guanzhong to Hanzhong, take down the princes of Guanzhong, and then sit and watch Yuan Shao and Jiangdong fight for me."

"Once any of them are at a disadvantage, we will take Yizhou as the core and send troops to capture it."

"And the fourth, before Jiangdong takes Jingzhou, we will unite Jiangdong to continue to fight against Yuan Shao."

"Even if Yuan Shao defeats Gongsun Zhan, his military strength will be strong and invincible for a while."

"But—"

"Yuan Shao is a scheming person."

"When I was under his account, I often found that the two major factions under his account, the Yuzhou faction and the Jizhou faction, fought each other and attacked each other."

"And Yuan Shao not only took this as a warning, but also often allowed them to fight among themselves."

"Woe to Xiao Wall, this is a big taboo."

"Also, Yuan Shao was born in the family of the fourth and third princes, and he has been too smooth all the way, unlike Sikong, who has experienced setbacks and cannot withstand strong winds and waves."

"Therefore, I thought that even if Yuan Shao went south, we could block the attack of his first army, or even give him a heavy blow, Yuan Shao's internal chaos would inevitably be chaotic, and even, from then on, he would not move forward."

"If this is the case, we have every chance to win Yuan Shao."

"Even if it is not good, you can also free your hands, turn around, help Liu Biao, suppress Jiangdong, and prevent the annexation of Jingzhou."

"In the best situation, if we take Yuan Shao, it will not be difficult to fight Jiangdong again."

The whole hall burst into discussion in an instant.

"Crazy? In the eyes of sacrificial wine, is Yuan Shao not as difficult to deal with as Jiangdong Lu Yi'er? ”

"What kind of thing is Koto? What is Lu Yi'er? It's just a small Lu family support, how can it be compared with Yuan Shao of the fourth and third dukes? ”

"I don't think it's possible for Jiangdong to take Jingzhou under our noses! Jingzhou Liu Biao is not comparable to Yuan Shu's disciples! ”

"Yes, even if we go south with all our might, we won't be able to take Jingzhou. I don't believe it, just Jiangdong, just after a few years of war, the people are not in harmony, can they still go against the sky and take Jingzhou? ”

"Although the situation of Jiangdong taking Jingzhou is too scary, I also think that this idea is basically not valid. Moreover, I can't accept this situation by giving up the good situation in the Central Plains, retreating to Hanzhong and Yizhou, and watching Yuan Shao and Jiangdong fight! As for moving the capital to Yizhou, it is even more impossible. My Han dynasty has been in existence for hundreds of years, how could I have been humble to the point of moving the capital to the poor countryside of Yizhou? Yizhou is really so good, when Emperor Gaozu and the overlord of Chu competed for hegemony, why did they have to attack from Yizhou? After all, Yizhou is a barbarian land! ”

Cao Cao watched the officials quarrel and said, "Eh~".

The officials fell silent.

Cao Cao looked at Guo Jia and said, "Fengxiao, go to Sikong Mansion tonight, let's talk in detail." ”

Guo Jia saluted and said, "Oh! ”

Cao Cao stood up at this time, pulled his clothes and said, "You go on, discuss the process of marrying Jiangdong." I first went back to Sikong's mansion and discussed with a few ladies which daughter to marry this time. ”

After speaking, he no longer cared about everyone and left Shangshutai directly.

Seeing this, Guo Jia also stood up, took a wine jug from his waist, took a sip, and said to Xun Yu: "Xun Lingjun, I'll go to Zhangtai to take a stroll and see if there are any beautiful women there today." I also have to go to Sikong in the evening, and during this time, I have a good time to relax. ”

The officials immediately exploded.

"Presumptuous!"

"Guo Fengxiao, you are so rude! This is Shang Shutai, you actually put down your business and don't do it, go to Zhangtai! ”

"Insulting Sven! Insulting Sven! You are a minister of the imperial court, but you bluntly ask for flowers and willows in Shangshutai, it is really insulting! ”

Chen Qun also stood up angrily, pointed to Guo Jia, who had already walked to the threshold of Shangshutai, and said to Xun Yu: "Xun Lingjun, this Guo Jia is simply lawless, openly drinking during government affairs, looking for flowers and asking willows!" If you don't arrest him, you will lose the face of the court! If everyone imitates him, what prestige does my court have? ”

Xun Yu watched Guo Jia hum a little song, drank a little wine and left, and then looked at the angry looks of these officials, one head and two big.

Especially in the face of Chen Qun's almost cannibalistic gaze, Xun Yu let out a long breath, waved his hand and said, "Okay, okay, everyone will go down to rest today." Those who are dissatisfied with Guo Saijiu, tomorrow morning, you can impeach him in the main hall, and let the Son of Heaven and Sikong come to judge. I'm going to be busy now, so I won't talk to you more. ”
