If it was from Cao Cao's personal standpoint, he didn't want to do anything to Xuzhou, before he and Cao Hong said that they wanted to leave Chenliu, and the first goal was to take Yanzhou directly.

Some kind of Cheng dù said that Cao Cao is not wrong to think like this, the current situation in Yanzhou seems to have been stabilized by those local families on the surface, but this is definitely only a superficial phenomenon, not to mention that the forces of all parties are not one mind, no one knows how long the short-term cooperation can last, they not only lost the main heart of the bone spur Shi Liu Dai, the news from Luoyang that Dong Zhuo appointed his subordinate Xiliang general Xu Rong as the Yanzhou assassin Shi will definitely set off huge waves.

For Cao Cao, he chose Yanzhou as his base because the situation in Yanzhou was not good at this time, and because he was confident that he had the ability to settle the current predicament of Yanzhou, after all, Yanzhou was not only his hometown, but also the place where he made his fortune before, and it would be easier to operate there; In addition, although Yanzhou is next to Yuzhou, it is not close to the radiation range of Luoyang, which can temporarily avoid Dong Zhuo's edge, in fact, according to the estimate, Dong Zhuo will not provoke a war again now, even if Chen Bing Yuzhou North was more to deter Yuan Shao, otherwise with his temperament, Yuan Shao provoked him many times when he was in Luoyang, and he should have done it a long time ago.

Yanzhou is not a good place to go, Cao Cao has calculated it well, but what about Xuzhou? This is the territory of the good old man Tao Qian, although the strength is greatly damaged, but Tao Qian was still there at that time, and his reputation in Xuzhou has always been good, Cao Cao is not willing to compete with him, and in his opinion, the geographical location of Xuzhou is not good enough, it is too remote, and it will be squeezed by the tripartite forces, too far away from the center of the world, it is not easy to develop based on this.

However, not long after Guo Jia arrived, a piece of news changed this qiē, that is, Tao Qian's death.

Tao Qian, a good old man, did not die on the battlefield of the Tiger Prison, but when he returned to his hometown in Xuzhou, he fell ill and finally died, and Xuzhou became a borderless land like Yanzhou, and more importantly, the news did not reach Luoyang, because Cao Cao directly cut off the news.

But even at this time, the ideal place in Cao Cao's heart is still Yanzhou, or Guo Jia's words moved him, Guo Jia said: "The land of Yanzhou can not wait for a long time, although Dong Zhuo will not fight lightly, but will try his best to recover Yuzhou, then Yanzhou will bear the brunt, then Yuan Benchu will also set his sights here, Yanzhou will become a place of tripartite focus and four wars." Xuzhou...... on the other hand Since Qin, it has been said that those who are in the middle of the pass will win the world, but Gaozu entered Shu to avoid the edge of the overlord of Chu, but he eventually became a great cause. In the past, the difficulty, danger and remoteness of Xishu were far better than Xuzhou, and the only place that Xuzhou and Xishu could compare with was to avoid the edge of the Central Plains conquest. Now the lord is holding the momentum of making a comeback, and he needs to take stability as the priority, temporarily leave the concentration zone of the princes' forces, and avoid Dong Zhuo, Yuan Shao, Han Fu, and even Yuan Shu's ......" Guo Jia said is actually not entirely right, the situation of Liu Bang, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty, is different from Cao Cao, and the situation when Chu and Han are fighting is completely different from the current situation today, but Cao Cao is willing to believe his words, in addition to feeling that it really makes sense, but also because he also wants to be the ancestor of the Han Dynasty, of course, this kind of thought will not be revealed.

At this time, Guo Jia once again analyzed the strategy of Xuzhou in depth, only to see him smile slightly, looking extremely confident, "I wonder if the lord has ever heard of Guangling Chen Yuanlong?" ”

Cao Cao nodded, shook his head again, Guo Jia seemed to know what he meant, and said with a smile: "Although the lord is not familiar with this Chen Yuanlong, he has heard some things about this person, but what Jia wants to say is not him, Chen Yuanlong is the master of the Chen family in Xuzhou, but there is another person behind him, who can really decide the direction of Xuzhou Fengyun and the Chen family, this person is the father of Chen Yuanlong, the old Mr. Chen Hanyu in Xuzhou.........,

"Chen Hanyu?" When I heard what Guo Jia said at first, I didn't think anything about it, but when I heard this name, Cao Cao's first-class literati sighed, obviously understanding and affirming Guo Jia's statement.

Whether it is Guo Jia himself, Xi Zhicai, or Liu Ye and others, they will not feel unfamiliar with this name, because he is a great celebrity.

The literati group at the end of the Han Dynasty is divided into many parts, and celebrities are definitely an important part of the main force, for many princes who are interested in the world, celebrities are their preferred choice to pick up the mastermind and assist, as the so-called fame is not a vanity, you must know that this year is not important to the ability of the person who has the ability, but the most important thing is how your reputation is - this is also one of the reasons why Xu Shao Yuedan of Runan is popular, and whether such a reputation can reach the ears of those who are in power, This is also the key to determining whether a talent can come out in the end, even Zhuge Liang was noticed by Liu Bei after Mr. Shuijing Sima Hui said the famous sentence "Wolong and phoenix chicks can settle the world".

Contemporary celebrities can be said to belong to the leaders of the literati group, generally speaking, they themselves are quite talented and capable, and have an excellent reputation, whether it is the Lumen Mountain Pang Degong who was recruited by Liu Biao but has never refused to go, or the water mirror Mr. Sima Hui who guided Liu Bei, or the old Mr. Yingchuan Yucheng, all belong to this list, and the Xuzhou Chen Jue mentioned by Guo Jia now is also among them.

Chen Jue, the word Hanyu, Xiapi (now northwest of Suining, Jiangsu) people, his father Chen Qiu has experienced the Sikong of the three dukes, Taiwei, two cousins Chen Yu and Chen Cong have also been to a county Taishou, its family background needless to say, is a typical family from a famous family, compared to Cao Cao This can be much more noble, and although it does not have the nobility of the fourth and third princes of the Yuan family, but the name of his family talent has long prevailed in the world, and Chen Qi himself has not been out of office, but this has made his reputation broadcast, because of his retirement is for the chaos and decay of the court, Lamenting that they are powerless, and whether this is true or false or an evasive mentality, at least many scholars today are very comfortable with this routine.

Of course, there are often more celebrity anecdotes, especially Chen Qi is also from a big family, and the most popular one is that the Chen family is the son of Chen Deng, but it is said that Chen Deng must consult with his father whenever there is a major event, and in fact, the direction of the Chen family's major policy in recent years has also been set by Chen Qi himself.

This matter is not a secret, and it is not unusual for Guo Jia to know, but when he mentions this matter now, he is explaining to Cao Cao that the key to Xuzhou's success is in Chen Qi and not in Chen Deng, they want to take Xuzhou, as a pivotal figure in Xuzhou, Chen Qi is the object they absolutely have to consider.

The relationship between Chen Deng and Liu Dai is not ordinary, and although this person has urgent talents, but he has no long wisdom and short-sightedness, if he really faces him, it will always take a lot of trouble, but after Guo Jia's dialing, Cao Cao also understands that as long as Chen Qi is still actually in charge of the helm of the Chen family in Xuzhou, as long as the Chen family in Xuzhou still exists for the interests of the family, as long as Cao Cao contacts Chen Qi and can discuss cooperation with each other, there is more certainty that he can take Xuzhou.

Cao Cao was still pondering here, and Guo Jia said again: "Of course, in addition to the Chen family in Xuzhou, there are two other forces that are not small, and the lord must pay more attention, one of which is the rich merchant Mi family in Xuzhou - although the lord has the help of Wei Xiaolian, but the more money for the recovery, the better, if the situation is gradually chaotic today, it is not easy to stand in it, the lord now has the reputation of the battle of the tiger prison, if this prestige can be used, it will not be much worse than the Yuan Benchu of the fourth and third dukes, but if you want to expand the strength of the materials in your hands, it is indispensable. The head of this Mi family is Mi Zhu, although this person was born in a merchant family, his knowledge is extraordinary, and he has always admired noble people, and his reputation is now known as the lord. ”…,

Cao Cao heard this, his eyes lit up, Chen Jue's matter was more certain and could be put aside, and one of the things that Cao Cao had recently begun to consider was also what Guo Jia was talking about now.

In the future wars between princes, there is no doubt that in addition to the wars in which the talents and troops under their hands are money, whoever has the most money will have unexpected benefits for the hegemony.

In addition to Yuan Shao's family reputation of the fourth and third dukes, his family background is indeed strong, even if the tiger prison is broken up, it is not Cao Cao, who is wiped out by the whole army, if Cao Cao is really interested in the world, then it is really not enough to rely on the current Weizi's family wealth, not to mention that this Mi family also has influence in Xuzhou, and he has won over and Chen Qi has basically entered Cao Cao's sleeve. Low-key development, as long as the situation can be stabilized and slowly expanded, there is no worry that no one can invest when the time comes, which forms a virtuous circle.

Of course, these are just assumptions for the time being, although Guo Jia has taken these circumstances into account, but it only gave Cao Cao a prospect that can be looked forward to, but this prospect is enough for Cao Cao to give it a try, he now can't help but sigh in his heart that he was really a correct choice to worship Xi Zhicai as a military teacher, Xi Zhicai's own talent is not bad, if the internal affairs department is better than Guo Jia, and he helped himself to find Guo Jia, a powerful adviser with a strong overall view, which can be said to be the two most powerful pieces of the puzzle for Cao Cao's hegemony.

Cao Cao's current team is not weak at all, there is no need to say much about Wu, although Cao Ren is nowhere to be found, but Xiahou Dun, Xiahou Yuan brothers and Li Dian, Le Jin, Xu Chu and others have already proven themselves, and now there are Xi Zhicai and Guo Jiayi, one inside and one outside, two major strategists want to Zuo, Liu Ye has wonderful ideas, Mao Jue is a steady director, full of favor, Yu Ban Although he has not yet proved himself, Cao Cao believes that he sees people's eyes, and he can be of great use, starting with this set of teams, Cao Cao can be said to be full of confidence, and even now he has begun to think about a beautiful blueprint for the future.
