If he is in the position of a third party, from the perspective of fairness and justice, then Guo Jia will definitely tend to support Yuan Shao in this matter. But it's a pity that Guo Jia is from Cao Cao's side, so Guo Jia waved his hand and directly became Yuan Shao inferior to Cao Cao!

Except for this, Guo Jia has a conscience (does he have a conscience?) In addition to the "benevolence" that is added to it, there are naturally some that are completely considered to be counted. Of course, Guo Jia himself doesn't actually think that it is a make-up, but in the eyes of others, in the eyes of most people in this era, it is definitely a make-up.

For example, Guo Jia was the first to say, "Shao Fan, courtesy, and etiquette, the public body is natural, and this way is better than one." "In modern terms, Yuan Shao's work is cumbersome and troublesome, and there is no efficiency at all, Cao Cao's side is much more casual and natural, and it can be solved in one chapter, how convenient, isn't this a natural advantage! It's about being efficient! Since Cao Cao has such an obvious advantage, why didn't Guo Jia add it! In Guo Jia's eyes, this is much more convincing than others.

But in this Confucian era, except for a few outliers like Guo Jia and Cao Cao, which of the others is not cumbersome? Not to mention the others, Xun Yu in Cao Ying, that is a standard etiquette person. Hang out on weekdays or something, in Guo Jia's thoughts, what does everyone have to do with it, it's completely the kind of relationship that goes to someone else's house to eat when he's hungry. In fact, if it weren't for the urgency of the military situation, Xun Yu would come to Guo Jia with two small gifts, present a greeting post, and come to visit. When the world praised it as "Confucian style"!

Also, Cao Cao and Yuan Shao can also be called thirsty for talent. But if Cao Cao didn't offer the emperor here, why did most scholars prefer to go to Yuan Shao's side? Is it really just because Yuan Shao is stronger than Cao Cao? It is precisely because of Yuan Shao's "multitude of etiquette". Cao Cao is "natural", so people are willing to follow Yuan Shao. And didn't come to you Cao Cao, because you Cao Cao is not the same kind of person as them!

As a result, now, Guo Jia actually commented that Yuan Shao was wrong, Cao Cao was right, Guo Jia was grandstanding, unconventional, trying to subvert the mainstream values in the world today? !

As a result, after Guo Jia's theory of ten wins and ten defeats came out, compared with the matter of who wins and who loses between Cao Cao and Yuan Shao, the focus of discussion is greater. actually focused on whether Guo Jia's so-called "Dao Sheng" was correct. Sure enough, since ancient times, there has been controversy, and there is attention. Regardless of whether Guo Jia's ten wins and ten defeats had the effect he expected, at least, it successfully diverted the attention of most readers. And in this era, those who are officials are also this group of people.

All in all, the officials' unhealthy hearts have calmed down somewhat.

But. Cao Cao, Guo Jia and others are very clear that now, this is just the beginning. No matter what you say, no matter how others believe that you Cao Cao can defeat Yuan Shao. In the end, it is still based on facts, and the law of the jungle is the strong. If Cao Cao loses to Yuan Shao in the end. That's all for nothing.

Now Cao Cao is not thinking about how to enhance his persuasiveness to others. It's to really increase the winning rate of the duel with Yuan Shao!

Destroy Lu Bu first!

This is Guo Jia's answer, and it is also Cao Cao's own thoughts.

The original perfect plan, Cao Cao had to destroy Zhang Xiu first, then Yuan Shu, and then Lu Bu before the decisive battle with Yuan Shao. Although it seems that these three people are all fine now, it can be described as a big failure, but Yuan Shu may not have been extinguished, but at least it is already crippled, and there will be almost no threat.

As for Zhang Xiu, Zhang Xiu, who has Liu Biao's support behind him, is indeed a headache, but Cao Cao has successfully instigated Jingnan, Changsha and other places to turn against Liu Biao, Liu Biao is busy dealing with Jingzhou's internal problems, and Zhang Xiu should not be encouraged to make any big moves in a short period of time, and without the support of others, Zhang Xiu should not dare to do anything. Therefore, Zhang Xiu's problem is not urgent for the time being.

Cao Cao's top priority, sure enough, is still Lu Bu! With Lu Bu eyeing him by the side, Cao Cao wanted to divide his troops to defend against Lu Bu's sneak attack, so that he would not be able to fight Yuan Shao at all. Moreover, even if Lu Bu will not attack Cao Cao in the short term, will Cao Cao be able to watch Lu Bu develop and grow safely in Xuzhou?!

When the time comes, Cao Cao and Yuan Shao will have a decisive battle, and Lu Bucai will really sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight. No matter who wins or loses Cao Cao and Yuan Shao in the end, it can be said that Lu Bu will be able to pick up a big bargain in the end. Therefore, while Lu Bu has not yet developed and grown, while Lu Bu has not fully recovered after the battle with Yuan Shu, and now that Chen Deng's father and son should still help him, Cao Cao must definitely solve Lu Bu first. Whether in the short term or in the long term, this is the best choice for Cao Cao!

And Cao Cao's only concern was whether Yuan Shao would take advantage of his attack on Lu Bu to attack Xu Du. Or, the word sneak attack is no longer appropriate, after all, Lu Bu can't be defeated in a day or two, and Yuan Shao has plenty of time to think about it. In particular, the longer it takes for Lu Bu to solve the battle, the longer it will be for Yuan Shao to think about it, and the more Yuan Shao sees that Cao Cao can't solve Lu Bu, the more Yuan Shao tends to attack Xu Du!

So, it's still a lot of risk. Maybe Yuan Shao's character is weak, Yuan Shao is indecisive, but it doesn't mean that Yuan Shao can't make a decision in the end! Only Cao Cao can quickly resolve the battle and destroy Lu Bu quickly, so that Yuan Shao will not be given enough time to make a choice!

It's not just a test of courage, but also confidence in yourself! Cao Cao's courage is definitely enough, but his confidence in this matter seems to be a little worse. And Guo Jia also proposed to destroy Lu Bu first, so this gave Cao Cao confidence.

Without further ado, act now! Don't leave even a trace of reaction time for Yuan Shao!

"What? Bonghyo, you're going too?! When Guo Jia proposed to go on the expedition together, Cao Cao exclaimed in surprise, "Isn't it okay with your body?" I think it's better to recuperate at home. ”

In fact, Cao Cao is more inclined to let Guo Jia accompany him this time, after all, what Lu Bu is pursuing this time is a quick solution, and there will be no mistake in bringing Guo Jia with him. Once there is really any obstacle, I believe that Guo Jia's strategy will definitely be able to play a role! It's just that Guo Jia's body, Cao Cao really can't rest assured, if he accidentally dies on the road......

"I guess it's barely okay." Guo Jia replied, with a reluctant face.

It's not how loyal Guo Jia is. If he can't go, Guo Jia naturally wants to recuperate at home now, and he and Zhen Mi are still newlyweds. But just like the previous ten wins and ten defeats, Lu Bu here also has Guo Jia's "script". Now that he has come to this point, seeing that the battle of Guandu is about to start, Guo Jia doesn't want anything to go wrong. Therefore, even if he gritted his teeth and insisted, Guo Jia had to go to Xuzhou for a trip, show up casually, and "swipe the card" first. (To be continued......)
