XU Du,

After Cao Cao returned, he immediately gathered all the advisers and began to discuss the affairs of Xuzhou.

"In the past, Xuzhou was Liu Bei's house, we can be sure that Liu Bei will not follow Yuan Shu all the way, and we can also let Liu Bei fight against Yuan Shu. But now, Xuzhou has been robbed by Lu Bu, recently, Yuan Shu and Lu Bu have been in contact many times, I am worried that they will completely unite and target us together, which will be troublesome. Cao Cao said with some concern.

"I don't think so, one mountain can't tolerate two tigers, Lu Bu and Yuan Shu are both wolf and tiger people, facts have proven many times that Lu Bu will not be subservient to others, and Yuan Shu is a person who wants to be the emperor. They can't really work together. I'm sure that although Lu Bu has promised Yuan Shu that he won't help Liu Bei, he will probably regret it in the end. After all, Lu Bu has just won Xuzhou, and his foundation is unstable, so he hasn't had time to develop in a hurry. Lu Bu wants to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, but the premise is that he must first sit firmly on the mountain. Guo Jia immediately analyzed.

"I agree with Feng Xiao's statement, and, just like the original situation, if we send troops to Xuzhou now, or attack Yuan Shu, we will inevitably force Lu Bu and Yuan Shu to unite. And if you don't care about them for the time being, they will be suspicious of each other and will not really unite. In addition, our top priority now, I think we should still attack Zhang Xiu, Nanyang is too close to Xudu, we must solve this threat first. Xun Yu suggested.

That's right, the original base camp was in Juancheng, so you can ignore the affairs of Nanyang for now, but now Cao Cao's base camp is in Xudu, and the special emperor is in Xudu. Perhaps there are many advantages to welcoming the emperor, but there is a considerable disadvantage. That is, since the capital has been settled in Xudu, it is impossible to move easily.

Before. Cao Cao's military focus can be changed whenever he wants, and he can adapt to changes. But now, no matter what decision is made, you have to take into account the location of Xu Du first. It was nothing to fight Yang Feng before, after all, it was not far away, but if the heavy troops were moved to Xuzhou, once Zhang Xiu made a ghost on Xudu's side, it would be too late for Cao Cao to rescue.

Therefore, Zhang Xiu must be solved first, so that Cao Cao can have no worries. Deal with Lu Bu, Yuan Shu and others with peace of mind.

"Do you want to fight Zhang Xiu......" Guo Jia groaned for a while, if Guo Jia expected it to be good, if it was according to historical development, then this time Cao Cao went to fight Zhang Xiu, Zhang Xiu would surrender, and then Cao Cao slept with Zou, Zhang Xiu rebelled, Cao Ang died, and Dian Wei died. Cao Anmin died. This kind of thing, does Guo Jia watch it happen?

In fact, with Guo Jia's understanding of Zhang Xiu, although this person seems a little capricious, it actually proves that he is not ambitious. Zhang Xiu just pays attention to personal interests. At the critical moment before the Battle of Guandu, Zhang Xiu was able to resolutely take refuge in Cao Cao and send charcoal in the snow. This is the best example of this. Although there was a reason for Jia Xu's persuasion, Jia Xu was able to convince Zhang Xiu. At least Zhang Xiu himself has this idea, and this behavior is in line with Zhang Xiu's values.

Therefore. Guo Jia actually didn't think that if Zhang Xiu was left alone, Zhang Xiu would come to attack Xu Du. But it is undeniable that Zhang Xiu is now attached to Liu Biao, and everything is supplied by Liu Biao.

Therefore, Zhang Xiu's threat is indeed there.

Besides, if you don't go to embroidery, how can Guo Jia get in touch with Jia Xu? Now that he has received the exact news, Jia Xu went to Zhang Xiu. I don't know if Guo Jia's original letter was delivered, maybe Jia Xu, who has always been cautious, is still not at ease. However, with Zhang Xiu's surrender this time, Guo Jia was finally able to directly contact Jia Xu, maybe he could take this opportunity to pull Jia Xu directly into his camp!

"What? Bonghyo, do you have an opinion? Cao Cao asked.

"Nope." Guo Jia shook his head, "I also think it's necessary for us to embroider Zhang first." Guo Jia said that now, what should be thought about is how to prevent Zhang Xiu from rebelling. This is definitely a technical job, you can't Zhang Xiu surrender, you just kill Zhang Xiu, or put him under house arrest.

That can certainly prevent Zhang Xiu this time, who else will surrender to Cao Cao in the future! It is conceivable that even if Guo Jia said this kind of thing, Cao Cao would not agree to it. After all, Cao Cao doesn't know history like Guo Jia, how can he go to the road of despair with just such a possibility!

"What do you think?" Cao Cao turned to Xun You again and asked.

"I also agree with Zhang embroidery first, but Xuzhou can't ignore it. Now there are many clues, indicating that Yuan Shu is really going to be the emperor in the near future. We can first write to Lü Bu to explain the stakes and ask him to support Emperor Han and dissociate himself from Yuan Shu. Then, we will directly tell Lu Bu that once Yuan Shu becomes emperor, we will definitely wave a large army to destroy Yuan Shu. In this way, Lu Bu will definitely immediately dissociate himself from Yuan Shu and sit back and watch our duel. And recently, Sun Ce has fought several beautiful battles in Jiangdong, and if this development continues, Sun Ce should be able to gain a foothold in Jiangdong by then. At that time, we will first unite with Sun Ce, attack back and forth, defeat Yuan Shu, and then wave our troops to destroy Lu Bu. Since then, there are no worries, and you can prepare for the decisive battle with Yuan Shao! Xun You suggested.

"Well, according to this development, if my expectations are correct, when we face off with Yuan Shu, Lu Bu will definitely take the opportunity to completely destroy Liu Bei, and when the time comes, we can also use Liu Bei to restrain Lu Bu." Cheng Yu added.

"Why didn't you think that once Lu Bu broke off his relationship with Yuan Shu, and didn't wait for us to attack Yuan Shu, with Yuan Shu's character, it is estimated that he would directly fight with Lu Bu in anger. It will save us a lot of effort. Guo Jia couldn't help but say.

"Haha, that makes sense! Maybe we can really make some articles on Yuan Shu's side, Yuan Shu has just become the emperor, Lu Bu is so unkind to sell his face, as an emperor, where is the face. With just a little agitation, Yuan Shu estimated that he would have to raise heavy troops to attack Lu Bu! Cheng Yu said with a smile.

"Good! Ha ha! Good! Cao Cao also laughed, "It is said that listening to your words is better than reading for ten years." After listening to your words today, I feel that the complicated situation in this world has suddenly become clear. Kill Zhang Xiu first, then Yuan Shu, and finally kill Lu Bu, in this order, I can finally fight with Yuan Shao with confidence! Maybe he hadn't solved Gongsun Chan at that time. Cao Cao laughed.

There is such a clear and clear step, as long as you follow it, it is a bright road to success. In this way, people can be less confused, more firm, have a clear purpose, and be full of motivation when they do things, Cao Cao seems to have seen the goddess of victory beckoning to him.

Zhang Xiu, Yuan Shu, Lu Bu, it seems that there are many strong enemies, but in fact, they are scattered, as long as they are wiped out before Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zan are victorious, at that time, why is Cao Cao afraid of Yuan Shao? ! (To be continued......)
