Xu Du!

In order to curry favor with Cao Cao, Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty deliberately gave Cao Cao the two swords he had with him.

One is called one day, and the other is a rare sword.

Cao Cao naturally can't put it down, and he has to play every day.

Especially the Yitian Sword, there is a pool of autumn water on the sword's body, and the whole body is crystal clear, and the short hair cuts copper and falls iron without damage.

"Congratulations, my lord!"

Sima Fang said with a smile: "The sword of the Son of Heaven symbolizes the transfer of power, and I hope that the lord can use this sword to sweep the world's heroes and achieve the great cause of the Cao family." ”

Sima's family has officially recognized Cao Cao as the master.

Ha ha!

Cao Cao smiled proudly and said, "Mr. Xie's auspicious words." ”

At this moment, Xun Yu suddenly came in a hurry, his face a little solemn.

"Wen Ruo!"

Seeing Xun Yu coming in, Cao Cao hurriedly put down the Heavenly Sword.

"What's going on?"

In his impression, Xun Yu is very stable and rarely shows a hurried look.

Xun Yu hesitated for a moment, but lowered his voice and said, "I just got the news that Taiwei's family was killed in Fei County. ”

"What?"

Hearing the news, Cao Cao's body trembled and he almost fell to the ground.

Taiwei is naturally his son Cao Song.

Although Cao Cao was also a little unhappy with this Lao Tzu, after all, it was his Cao Cao's Lao Tzu, and the father and son were connected.

Now that Cao Song and Cao De have been killed, Cao Cao is naturally crazy.

Lord!

Two waiters hurriedly helped him up.

I don't care about you!

Ahh

The two waiters screamed and fell to the ground clutching their stomachs.

Cao Cao's hair was scattered, his face was very hideous, and the long sword in his hand was still dripping blood.

"Who did that?"

He asked through gritted teeth.

It's Zhang Min!

Xun Yu said in a low voice: "Xuzhou's assassin Shi Taoqian wants to make good friends with the lord, so Zhang Min, the captain of the city, escorted the old lady to Xudu. Unexpectedly, this Zhang Min thief was not dead and coveted the old lady's family wealth, so he rebelled halfway. ”

Tao Qian!

Cao Cao's eyes were red, and he angrily cut off the small table in front of him.

"Tao Qian, I want you to repay your blood debt, what about Taishan Tai Shou Ying Shao? Didn't I ask him to pick up Taigong? ”

"Ying Shao's soldiers and horses are still halfway there, and after learning the news, they fled to Qingzhou alone."

Xun Yu said in a low voice.

Bastard stuff!

Cao Cao was furious: "Come on, arrest Ying Shao's whole family, kill them, kill them all." No, the Nine Clans who killed him. ”

He was completely insane.

"Come on, let Xiahou and Cao Ren raise 50,000 troops, attack Xuzhou, take Xuzhou, and I will slaughter the city."

Cao Cao shouted hysterically.

Lord, no!

Xun Yu hesitated for a moment, but still said: "After learning about this incident, Tao Qian has ordered someone to send a letter, saying that he must personally catch Zhang Min and send him to Xudu, and compensate for all losses. ”

He understood Cao Cao's character, and Cao Song's death would definitely trigger a war between Yanzhou and Xuzhou.

Now that Cao Cao's territory has been stabilized, Xudu has gradually become the center of the Yellow River Valley, which is a critical time for development.

If there is a war at this time, it will not be a good thing for your side.

Therefore, Xun Yucai tried his best to dissuade Cao Cao from using force.

Besides, Tao Qian is also a prince, with tens of thousands of Danyang soldiers under his command, and his combat effectiveness is good.

With the strength of Yanzhou and Yuzhou, it also costs a lot to fight down.

Hum!

Cao Cao gritted his teeth and said: "I don't care so much, my father and younger brother died in the hands of Tao Qian, if this revenge is not avenged, I Cao Cao swears not to be a person." ”

Mr!

Xun Yu saw that his words had no effect, so he had to look at Sima Fang for help.

Sima Fang turned a blind eye and did not pick up the stubble.

Xun Yu had no choice but to bite the bullet and say: "Lord, Tao Qian is old and immoral, and his time is running out. Xuzhou will be ours sooner or later, and Yuan Shao is more secure than Qingzhou, and he is not our opponent. Looking around the present, only Guo Jia in Yunzhou is our great enemy. If we fight with Tao Qian, it is exactly what Guo Jiale has seen. In case Yunzhou stumbles behind our backs, we will be in a dilemma. Think twice! ”

Cao Cao hesitated, although he was angry, he did not lose his cool.

Xun Yu has a point.

If he went to fight Xuzhou with all his might, the defenses on the south bank of the Yellow River would be weakened, and once the Yunzhou army took advantage of the situation, Xudu would be in danger.

"Wen Ruo's words are reasonable, Rong I will think about it, you go down first!"

Cao Cao said helplessly.

The Lord is wise!

Xun Yu hugged his fists and turned to leave.

What do you think, sir?

Cao Cao suddenly asked Sima Fang.

Sima Fang said lightly: "The revenge of killing my father is not shared!" ”

The soldiers have already taken refuge in Cao Cao, and if they want to make meritorious contributions, they must have a war, and even if there is no war, they must find an opportunity to provoke a war.

Now that the opportunity for war has come, how can they let it go?

What the gentleman said won my heart!

Cao Cao nodded.

It's just that......

He hesitated for a while and said, "Wen Ruo does not agree to attack Xuzhou. ”

Hehe!

Sima Fang smiled slightly and said, "You are the lord, he is a subordinate, when will it be a subordinate's turn to decide big things?" ”

He slowly stood up and came to the map.

"Xuzhou is the only way to go south and north, rich in products, rich in people, if we can get Xuzhou, and connect it with Yanzhou and Yuzhou, we can cut off the trade route of Yunzhou and divide the Central Plains into two sections. When the time comes, both the north and the south will have to look at our faces, and this is the capital of the overlord. ”

"If we attack Tao Qian for no reason, we will definitely be truthful, which will be detrimental to the reputation of the lord. Now that Tao Qian killed the old lady, he is a child, and he will inevitably take revenge. The lord rebelled against Tao Qian, and the public is filial piety, and the private is profit. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity! ”

Yes!

Cao Cao hurriedly stood up, clasped his fists and said, "I was carried away by the news of my father and brother's murder just now, and I didn't expect so much for a while. Thanks to Mr. for reminding me, Wen Ruo almost made me miss a big thing. I have decided to attack Xuzhou and get rid of Tao Qian, the old thief. ”

The Lord is wise!

Sima Fang said with a smile.

That's right!

Cao Cao seemed to remember something, and humbly asked for advice: "Tao Qian's dog thief is not a soft persimmon, and the Danyang soldiers under his command are extremely strong in combat. If we want to take down Xuzhou, I'm afraid we have to go all out. In case we are in the middle of a war with Xuzhou, and Guo Jia of Yunzhou suddenly sends troops to cross the river, Xu Du will not be in danger. ”

That's what worries him the most.

Don't worry, lord!

Sima Fang said: "After Yunzhou repelled the Huns, his vitality was greatly injured and he needed to recuperate. In addition, their financial route is broken, and they need to find a new financial route to stabilize Yunzhou's increasing expenses. There won't be any big moves for a short time. We can also lift the alcohol restriction and show goodwill to Yunzhou. Guo Jia is a smart man, and we lose both sides, which is exactly what he wants. Therefore, he will not meddle in the affairs of Xuzhou. ”
