Chapter 1502: The Battle of Xuzhou (99)

"In that case, then leave this matter to Cao Ren." Cao Ren and Xiahou Yuan are indeed difficult to choose, but if it is just to lure the enemy, it is obvious that Cao Ren is more suitable.

"It's a pity, we don't have much food, and we have to take it out to lure the enemy." Cao Cao couldn't help but sigh and said: "We now have a huge scale of military and civilian settlements, but compared to our expenditure, it is still insufficient, we must find a way to increase food income, of course, we must also reduce expenditure when we open source." ”

There are some things that can be discussed with Guo Jia, but there are some things that are not suitable, such as throttling, for Guo Jia, who is already erosive and extravagant in life, he will definitely not agree, or will not give any good advice, so he didn't want to continue to talk to him in depth about this matter, but he didn't expect Guo Jia to say unexpectedly: "Looking at the world, except for Yuan Shao, who occupies the grain and grass in Jizhou, there is no prince in the Kwantung who is not worried about food."

Cao Gong could learn from some of the successful experiences of other princes.

Since Guo Jia took the initiative to mention it, Cao Cao first held back his eyes, except for some surprises, he was really willing to continue to talk about this matter, after all, the way of the right way, Xun Neng thought of everything, but some side doors, I am afraid that Guo Jia can give good advice around him.

He said: "Other princes, Yuan Shao supports Jizhou, can not be imitated, and Yuan Shu in Huainan, regardless of the people's livelihood, wild expropriation, although the money and food are sufficient in a short period of time, but it is tantamount to killing chickens and eggs, because of small losses, it is the way to self-destruction, and it cannot be imitated, but Liu Lan there, there are a few decrees that are good, if Yanzhou can also ban alcohol, this year, our grain can not only be self-sufficient, but also surplus, but once this decree is implemented, whether there are more people who oppose or support more, I am not sure, So I want to wait until after this battle, and go back to Xu Du to test their reactions among the courtiers before making a decision. ”

"Lord, your identity is different now, you have too many concerns, but you don't have the courage you had back then, think about touching Captain Jin, and then think about the dried meat, this is an expedient measure in itself, and it is also a helpless choice, so why care about the opinions of those courtiers? And you are so humble to them now, it will only make them gain an inch, don't you see it now, they will not really fully support you because of your overtures, on the contrary, they will intensify their opposition, whether it is right or wrong, as long as it is Cao Gong's proposal, they will all oppose it, I think you should not be thinking about these people's ideas and whether they will obstruct it, but first establish their own authority. ”

Cao Cao listened very carefully, Guo Jia said well, when he did anything before, there was not so much encouragement, but the key point is that he was subordinate to Yuan Shao at that time, and Yuan Shao was responsible for everything, but now it is different, he represents not only himself, but also the court of the Han Dynasty, which makes him have to think twice when doing anything, and it is impossible to be as careless as before.

"Cao Gong, you must first be clear, now is the troubled times, what is the most important in the troubled times, the correct route, why Yuan Shao will succeed, if what you said to me at the beginning is true, then in the Dong period, Yuan Shao has already planned for himself to rule the three counties of the Northland, this is his route and plan, he has been moving forward on a correct route, no matter what difficulties he encounters, he will not retreat, and finally he can succeed through many dangers and obstacles, and Cao Gong, you lack such a plan, and now you cannot be controlled by others, Especially in such troubled times, you want to fight the chaos and welcome the arrival of another prosperous era of the Han Dynasty, but if the court is full of people who oppose you, then no matter how hard you try, you will be constrained, not to mention that you want to divide the land to the landless people and tenant farmers, even if they ban alcohol, they will oppose it, because this itself infringes on the interests of these people.

Imagine if there are no tenant farmers, then who will cultivate the land of these people, they will not consider your feelings, they will only think about themselves, let their own family prosper, this is the disgusting face of the so-called family, you discuss with them how they will agree, then at this time, you should use thunder means, only in this way, can you make the whole mind one mind, in order to finally put an end to the chaos! ”

Guo Jia's every sentence can be said to be heart-wrenching, but this is not his biggest distress at this time: "Can I only be Huo Guang?" ”

"It can also be Wang Mang."

"Bonghyo!"

"Gong Cao, you understand what I mean, the reason why you don't want to tilt the power to the government and the opposition is entirely because you are afraid of following in the footsteps of these two, but if you don't establish your prestige, the Han Dynasty will only have the surname Yuan in the end, then Cao Gong will not only not become these two, but may become Dong Zhuo, Li and Guo Yan.

So what is the hesitation of Cao Gong, although Huo Guang and Wang Mang did not end well, but Cao Gong you have enough time to arrange everything, even if it is ......"

"Bastard! Do you dare to say such a rebellious word? ”

Guo Jia felt a little lost in his heart, he didn't understand what Cao Cao was afraid of, and what he was worried about, because the four-hundred-year-old foundation of the Han family was deep-rooted, although it seems to be stormy now, but if he wants to replace the Han family, he will only be attacked by a group in the end?

Guo Jia was a little helpless, because such a threat was actually nothing at all, and it was not a big deal, but at this point, it was obvious that he was fundamentally different from Cao Cao, because Cao Cao Chong really didn't think about replacing the Han family, let alone dare to think so.

Although he knows that he has reached today's position, it is very difficult to retire, especially as Guo Jia said, once he really establishes his authority, then it will be even more difficult.

If he succeeds in fighting the rebellion in the end, then Wang Mang and Huo Guang will be his end, either replacing the Han family and perishing, or after his death, the family will be destroyed.

But he has no regrets, at least now he hasn't thought about such a long-term view, there is only one thing in his heart, that is, to fight chaos and rejuvenate the Han Dynasty.

At this moment, information suddenly came that the Xuzhou cavalry entered Feng County.

The two people who were talking were almost stunned, although the Xuzhou army had been standing still in Pei County and had never entered Feng County for half a step, but this did not mean that they couldn't come over, but they were planning something, and with their sudden appearance, it showed that Guan Yu and even Liu Lan were finally going to take action.

"See how many of them came in?" Cao Cao asked with a deep groan.

"More than 500 people!"

"Five hundred?" Guo Jia muttered softly, why did such a person blatantly enter Feng County? It's a little incomprehensible, if it's a large army, then it can be said that they may really be planning to sneak attack the grain road, but with these five hundred people, nothing can be solved, at this moment, Cao Cao suddenly spoke, and said: "Send scouts, be sure to find these cavalry, and annihilate them all." ”

"No!"

After the herald left, Cao Cao noticed that Guo Jia frowned and asked, "Feng Xiao thinks it's strange?" ”

"Liu Lan has tens of thousands of cavalry, but there are less than 500 people, but I can't understand what this is for."

"That's why I'm going to wipe them all out, to see if there's anything behind this."

Cao Cao nodded and said: "If it is reconnaissance, there are too many scouts of five hundred people, and it is easy to be discovered, if it is to destroy, five hundred people are too few, and it has no effect, once it is discovered by our army, it can be wiped out immediately." The sudden appearance of five hundred cavalry made Cao Cao and Guo Jia a little baffled.

"If this is just Guan Yu's suspicious strategy, he just wants to draw our attention to these five hundred people?" Guo Jia said suddenly.

"If this is the case, Guan Yu is bound to send the main force into Feng County, so what else can he do to attack the city and plunder the county and fight with our army?" Cao Cao muttered, and suddenly his eyes lit up and looked at Guo Jia.

Cao Cao listened very carefully, Guo Jia said well, when he did anything before, there was not so much encouragement, but the key point is that he was subordinate to Yuan Shao at that time, and Yuan Shao was responsible for everything, but now it is different, he represents not only himself, but also the court of the Han Dynasty, which makes him have to think twice when doing anything, and it is impossible to be as careless as before.
