Cao Cao asked if there was a plan to break through Xuzhou, but everyone in the tent just looked at each other, and no one spoke.

Seeing that everyone was silent, Cao Cao's eyes finally fell on Guo Jia and asked him, "Does Fengxiao have a plan?" ”

"Lu Bu hasn't left the city for a long time, I think it's the Chen Palace that is blocking it!" Cao Cao asked him by name, and Guo Jiacai said to Cao Cao: "Xiao Pei is important, and the soldiers and horses who are ambushed in Xiao Pei must not be withdrawn!" At present, Lu Bu is stuck in Xuzhou, and there is not much grain and grass in the city......"

"Fengxiao wants our army to trap Xuzhou to death...... As soon as Guo Jia said that there was not much grain and grass in the city, Cao Cao frowned slightly and asked him.

"No!" As soon as Cao Cao's question was asked, Guo Jia denied it: "Although it is not difficult to trap Xuzhou, our army consumes a lot of grain and grass. Moreover, the king of Qin sent troops to come, the purpose was to delay time, so that by waiting for the summer to harvest grain and grass, the Qin army could advance into Huainan in a big way! ”

On the one hand, Guo Jia proposed that there was not much grain and grass in the city, and on the other hand, he denied that he was trapped in Xuzhou, and then attacked it when there was no food in the city, which made Cao Cao full of confusion, and he couldn't understand what kind of intentions he had!

"Ming Gong!" Seeing Cao Cao's dazed face, Guo Jia stood up and walked to the middle of the tent, hugged his fists and said to Cao Cao: "Our army is trapped in Xuzhou, although the city is still full of food and grass, but it can be difficult for a long time to avoid the army's heart without wavering......"

"Huh?" When Guo Jia said that it was inevitable that the military spirit in the field would not be shaken after a long-term siege of Xuzhou, Cao Cao seemed to have figured out something, but he did not interject, but stared at Guo Jia without blinking, waiting for Guo Jia to continue.

"Duke Ming can send an envoy to the city for peace talks!" Cao Cao and everyone in the tent did not intervene, and Guo Jiacai further said: "Once the envoy enters the city, on the one hand, he will negotiate with Lu Bu and Chen Gong, and on the other hand, he will secretly send people to oppose Lu Bu's generals!" ”

"Plotting against Lu Bu's generals?" As soon as Guo Jia's plan was spoken, everyone in the tent was in an uproar, discussing the feasibility of this strategy with each other.

"Bonghyo!" Cao Cao also looked puzzled, frowned slightly and muttered for a moment before saying to Guo Jia: "The general under Lu Bu's command is to follow him for a long time, how easy is it to talk about rebellion?" ”

"Could it be that Ming Gong forgot Wei Xu, who escaped from Xiaopei?" As soon as Cao Cao raised the question in his heart, Guo Jia smiled and said to him: "Then Wei Xu escaped from the battle, although Lu Bu has rewarded him with kindness, he has not been blamed so far. But since Wei Xu lost Xiao Pei, he must be afraid that Lu Bu will settle accounts with him afterwards, once someone instigates him, it is imperative to betray Lu Bu in order to survive! ”

Guo Jia said Wei Xu, who had lost Xiaopei that day, Cao Cao squinted his eyes slightly, and after a long while, he nodded and asked Guo Jia: "In the sense of filial piety, who is appropriate to go to negotiate the collegial party?" ”

"Ming Gong!" Without waiting for Guo Jia to speak, Cheng Yu had already stood up, strode to Guo Jia's side, hugged his fists and bowed to Cao Cao and said: "Peace talks with Lu Bu are very important, Yu is willing to go!" ”

Cheng Yu stood up and was willing to go to Xuzhou to negotiate peace with Lu Bu, Cao Cao stroked the beard on his chin with one hand, frowned slightly, and was silent for a moment before saying to Cheng Yu: "It is better for Zhongde to be willing to go to himself, so let Ziyi accompany Zhongde on a journey!" ”

As he spoke, Cao Cao turned his head to look at Jiang Gan who was sitting in the tent, and said to Jiang Gan: "Ziyi had plotted against Lu Bu earlier, and this time when he entered Xuzhou, he could not go to Xuzhou under the name of Deputy Envoy Zhongde, but only pretended to be an accompanying attendant, don't let that Diao Chan bump into him!" ”

"Ming Gong rest assured!" Cao Cao asked Jiang Gan to go by name, Jiang Gan quickly stood up, bowed to Cao Cao with his fists in his fists, and said to Cao Cao: "Gan must persuade Wei Xu to oppose Lu Bu!" ”

Half a day later, Lu Bu in Xuzhou received a letter from Cao Cao.

In his letter, Cao Cao first expressed his admiration for Lü Bu, and then offered to negotiate peace with Lü Bu to resolve the crisis in Xuzhou.

After reading Cao Cao's letter, Lu Bu did not speak, but handed the letter to Chen Gong on the side.

After unfolding the letter and reading it carefully, Chen Gong asked Lu Bu: "Cao Cao is besieging the city but intends to negotiate peace, Wen Hou should be careful and beware of fraud!" ”

"Our army is already trapped in a lonely city, so where can Cao Cao deceive?" Turning his head to look at Chen Gong, Lu Bu said to him: "If you can negotiate peace with Cao Cao, it will be a beautiful thing......

"It is still difficult to say whether the peace talks will succeed!" Handing the letter back to Lu Bu, Chen Gong's brows tightened, and he thought for a moment before he said to Lu Bu: "If Wen Hou has the heart to negotiate peace, beware of Cao Cao's rebellion against his generals!" ”

Chen Gong said that he must beware of Cao Cao's rebellion against the generals under his command, Lu Bu was stunned for a moment, and then turned his head to the personal soldiers on the side and ordered: "At present, the defense of Xuzhou is urgent, and the order is passed on, the generals are not allowed to meet with outsiders in private, and they are not allowed to drink, and those who violate the military law will be dealt with!" ”

The soldiers responded with their fists clenched, and turned around to convey General Lu Bu's order.

Cao Cao proposed to negotiate peace with Lu Bu, and Zhao Yun, who had already been stationed twenty miles behind Cao's camp, was also thinking about how to have friction with Cao's army.

Standing outside the barracks, looking at the direction of Xuzhou City, Zhao Yun's brows were always tightly wrinkled, thinking about how to make the soldiers and the soldiers of Cao Jun quarrel, but he didn't lose the reason.

"General!" Zhao Yun had been standing in the direction of Xuzhou City for a long time, and Tao Hu, who was standing outside the Yamen with him, saw that he had never spoken, so he asked: "The general has been standing outside the Yamen for a long time, I don't know what to do?" ”

"Your Highness doesn't allow us to fight with Cao Jun!" Turning his head to look at Tao Hu, Zhao Yun turned his gaze to Xuzhou City again, and said to Tao Hu: "General Ben is thinking about how to make the soldiers friction with Cao Jun, and it is not unreasonable!" ”

"The last general thinks that as long as he finds a reason, he can drag one or two soldiers of the Cao army and beat them up!" After listening to Zhao Yun's words, Tao Hu smiled and said to Zhao Yun: "But when the general said this, it made the last general feel that things are not so simple!" ”

"If we don't take advantage of the reason, how can we be unforgiving?" Looking back at Tao Hu again, Zhao Yun smiled slightly and said to him: "Since you want to provoke, then find a good reason to let Cao Jun come to me and wait for trouble!" ”

Zhao Yun's idea was too complicated in Tao Hu's opinion, if he relied on him, he just took a few soldiers to the vicinity of Cao Ying, grabbed a few Cao soldiers and beat them up without asking.

But as soon as Zhao Yun said this, Tao Hu thought about it, what Zhao Yun said was not unreasonable, although he wanted to cause trouble, he couldn't let others take advantage of it, if he could lead Cao Jun to come to provoke, it would naturally be the best.

"What are the general's plans?" After thinking about it briefly, he really couldn't think of any good ideas, so Tao Hu had to ask Zhao Yun.

Looking at the direction of Xuzhou, Zhao Yun was silent for a moment before saying to Tao Hu: "General Ben is just thinking that the Cao army is besieging the city now, and there will definitely be no shortage of grain and grass, if you want the soldiers of the Cao army to see the wealth, I am afraid it can only be ......"

"Shipping a batch of copper coins?" Before Zhao Yun's words were finished, Tao Hu said to him with some hesitation: "But in this way, I am afraid that many Cao Jun will be attracted to snatch ......."

"No!" As soon as Tao Hu said that it was not appropriate to transport copper coins, Zhao Yun took over his words and said to him: "Transporting copper coins, Cao Jun may not flock in large numbers, but it is possible to see that our army is deliberately provoking and leading them to cause trouble!" If you are seen to be clues, it will be difficult to make trouble again! ”

"Then the general has a plan?" Blinking his eyes a little dazedly, Tao Hu said to Zhao Yun: "There is no shortage of grain and grass for Cao Jun, and he is afraid that Cao Jun will see the clues for transporting copper coins, so he insists on going to cause trouble, and he is afraid that he will not be able to take advantage ......of it."

"Pick three soldiers, change into people's clothes and go to Cao Ying!" After thinking for a long time, Zhao Yuncai said to Tao Hu: "I want them to only hunt some pheasants and hares near Cao Ying, and don't get too close!" ”

"What do you mean, General?" Zhao Yun said that he would select a few soldiers to hunt some pheasants and hares near Cao Ying, Tao Hu blinked his eyes twice, and asked him with a confused expression: "So how could Cao Jun provoke at first?" ”

"The people are hunting behind the army, but it makes people feel strange?" Seeing that Tao Hu still didn't understand his intentions, Zhao Yun looked at him and smiled slightly and said, "When Cao Jun learned that someone was hunting behind him, he must have guessed where the scout was!" The soldiers are not wearing clothes and armor, and they will definitely be captured by the Cao army, and I will go to beg for people later! ”

"General, this method is not bad!" Although Zhao Yun explained, Tao Hu still did not leave immediately, but said with some hesitation: "If the name of the scout is confirmed, I am afraid that it will ......."

"What is the name of the scout?" Patting Tao Hu on the shoulder, Zhao Yun said to him with a smile: "General Tao just go and make arrangements, don't worry too much!" ”

"No!" Seeing that Zhao Yun looked confident, Tao Hu didn't have much to say, so he had to answer with his fists and turn to leave.

When Tao Hu left, Zhao Yun instructed the soldiers behind him: "Find three hundred soldiers, ask them to work in groups of three, all dressed in people's clothes, and hunt along the way to Xuzhou!" ”

The soldiers also responded, and then returned to the barracks to select the soldiers who were hunting.

Looking at the direction of Xuzhou, the corners of Zhao Yun's mouth finally pulled up a faint smile.

After Zhao Yun's order was issued, more than 300 Tiger Ben guards who had changed into the people's dark clothes left the barracks and marched in the direction of Xuzhou.

Along the way, these 300 tiger guards dressed in the people's dark clothes were in groups of three, and every time they walked out of the section, a few people would leave the team to hunt pheasants and hares nearby.

At the head of the team were three soldiers personally selected by Tao Hu.

These three soldiers were all burly and born like bears.

With a longbow behind them, they took steps all the way in the direction of Xuzhou, and the other soldiers behind them left the team one after another, and they didn't even look at it.
