The state of Wei, the palace of the king of Wei.

In the study.

Guo Jia, Xun you, Xun Yu and Cheng Yu all gathered here.

Right above, Cao Cao is sitting.

Below, there was Cao ang.

Today, Cao ang is the successor of the state of Wei. Once a hundred years later, Cao ang inherited the great rule of Wei. In particular, Cao ang was a noble corporal, brave and tenacious, who not only won the trust of Cao Cao, but also won the unanimous praise of Wei Dynasty officials.

Cao Cao looked around the crowd and said, "I have just received a letter sent by Yuan Shao. He said that Zhang Xiu's troops are at the border of Hanoi County, and there are as many as 50000 or 60000 troops, ready to invade Jin at any time. Yuan Shao sent envoys to us for help. He hoped that Wang would send troops into the state of Jin to help him resist the army of Zhang Xiu. What do you think of that? "

Cheng Yu shook his head and said, "before that, his highness had arranged a messenger to inform Yuan Shao to be careful. Now in the past few months, I think Yuan Shao is at least on guard. "

"At least in a short time, Yuan Shao will not be defeated by Zhang Xiu's army. Even though the state of Jin was in turmoil, Yuan Shao's strength should not be underestimated because the dead camel was bigger than the horse. "

"I think that when Yuan Shao was about to be attacked by Zhang Xiu, the state of Wei didn't need to send troops in time. Even, we should slow down a little, and then send troops to rescue Yuan Shao. "

Cheng Yu said: "after all, Yuan Shao's strength, even if weakened, is not weak."

Cao Cao nodded his head and said, "I understand what Zhong De Gong means. We're going to send troops, but we have to slow down a little bit. After Yuan Shao takes over for a while and weakens Zhang Xiu with the help of Yuan Shao's strength, it's not too late to send troops, right? "

Cheng Yu said: "Your Highness is wise!"

Cao Cao said, "what about you?"

Xun Yu's face was calm, and he said, "although there was a competitive relationship between Wei and Yuan Shao, it was mainly because of the loss of lips and cold teeth. So rescue is necessary. Rescue can be delayed, but we can't even deploy too many troops. Otherwise, Liu Bei will take advantage of the fire and rob

Xun Yu was always on guard against Liu Bei.

This is a big problem.

But now, it is not easy to solve.

Once Cao Cao wanted to send troops to attack Liu Bei, he would be hurt, even forced to rush Liu Bei, which led to Liu Bei's jumping over the wall, which was not good for the situation of the whole state of Wei, so he could only let Liu Bei stay in Runan.

Guo Jia said: "if you are a man, it reminds me that I have an idea."

Cao Cao said, "what do you think?"

Guo Jia said: "now that Zhang Xiu's troops are stationed at the border of Hanoi County, it is very likely that she will attack Yuan Shao. So under this premise, even if there is Huang Zhong stationed in Nanyang County, but we suddenly enter, Huang Zhong's forces may not be able to stop us. "

"After all, Zhang Xiu's main force went to the north to fight Yuan Shao."

"So my idea is that we should fight on two lines. Some troops were dispatched to the north to help Yuan Shao. Then, he combined with Liu Bei's army to attack Nanyang County again and defeat Huang Zhong's forces. "

"As long as Huang Zhong is destroyed and Nanyang County is captured, it will be as easy as a palm. Even Jingzhou will be easily captured. Zhang Xiu wants to go north. This is exactly our chance. "

Guo Jia put forward suggestions.

This is a new way to open up a separate battlefield and take the initiative to attack Zhang Xiu.

When Cao Liang heard this, he saw him.

He and Zhang Xiu have always been in conflict.

He wants to defeat Zhang Xiu.

He wanted to be ashamed.

Cao Cao thought about it for a while, and then said, "although fengxiao's proposal is a two-way battle, I really approve of this plan. Do you have another opinion?"

Xun you suddenly said, "Your Highness, I have different views on humble position."

Cao Cao said, "what's your opinion?"

Xun you said: "although Zhang Xiu was stationed in Hanoi County, would there be a means of mending the plank road in the open and surrendering Chen Cang in secret. On the surface, he wanted to deal with Yuan Shao. In fact, he wanted to send troops to deal with us and directly attack the great Wei. "

"No way!"

Xun Yu frowned.

Although Xun Yu was inferior to Xun you in military strategy, his strategic vision was not weak.

Xun Yu thought for a moment and continued: "Zhang Xiu is very powerful, especially the state of Jin under the rule of Yuan Shao, which has just experienced great turbulence. When it is the most appropriate time to destroy Yuan Shao, why should we send troops to the great Wei? "

Guo Jia's face is full of meditation. The more she ponders, the brighter her eyes are.

Cao Cao is also a military master. After thinking about it, he nodded: "it's not impossible to make a fair proposal."

Xun you continued: "the first reason why I have such a judgment is that Zhang Xiu has been fighting for many years in the South and in the north. Once she really sends out troops, she must be personally on the scene."

"But now the news from Chang'an is that Zhang Xiu has made some sweet potatoes, which can yield 5000 or 6000 Jin per mu. It's ridiculous. Since Zhang Xiu is in Chang'an, I think there are some problems with the means of attacking Yuan Shao. ""The second reason is that the way of fighting lies in the actual situation."

"Our consistent conjecture, even the normal idea, is that Zhang Xiu will take advantage of his illness to kill him, so she supports Yuan Shao. But in fact, Yuan Shao, a camel on the verge of death, with our help, is not easily defeated. "

"On the contrary, we in the Wei Dynasty were not on guard."

Xun you's eyes twinkled with light, and he continued: "the third reason is that since Zhang Xiu stationed troops in Hanoi County, it is tantamount to nailing Yuan Shao's army to death, which makes Yuan Shao dare not act rashly."

"Even if we were attacked, Yuan Shao did not dare to act rashly. Zhang Xiu attacked us, no one rushed to help us. Zhang Xiu also has less pressure. The only concern is Liu Bei. "

Xun you said: "if I were to plan, I would take unexpected, even unexpected ways to attack the great Wei. Therefore, I believe that the ultimate goal of Zhang Xiu is not Yuan Shao, but my great Wei. "

"Wonderful, wonderful!"

Cao Cao's eyes twinkled with light, said: "Gongda's words can be described as bold words."

He praised Xun you's analysis.

This is a very rational, even very accurate judgment.

Cao Cao continued: "from the very beginning, I directly believed that Zhang Xiu would attack Yuan Shao. But after Gongda's analysis, especially Zhang Xiu's cunning nature, I'm afraid she will deal with us. "

After a pause, Cao Cao said, "we have to be ready for this battle. Last time, we were defeated in Nanyang County. It was not only Xia Houdun who was seriously injured, but also Cao Hong who was killed. This time, we will get it back. "

Xun you continued: "in fact, we can try Yuan Shao to see if he has the courage to let Yuan Shao quietly send troops to our great Wei. In this way, the military strength in the territory of the state of Wei, together with Liu Bei's. After the confluence of the three armies, if we want to compete with Zhang Xiu's forces in the Wei Dynasty, we will surely win. However, it depends on whether Yuan Shao has the courage. "

"No, certainly not!"

Cao Cao replied without hesitation, "I know Yuan Shao. He is not a gambler or even a risk taker. Because with the strength of Yuan Shao, once large-scale troops were mobilized into the great Wei Dynasty. On the one hand, the life and death to Zhang Xiu, because once Zhang Xiu really into, he can't resist

"On the other hand, he also handed over life and death to the king."

"Because if the king deals with his army, he will be completely finished. So there is a great possibility that Yuan Shao will choose to refuse. After all, Ben Wang and Yuan Shao used to be playmates together, familiar with his temperament. "

Cao Cao said, "you don't have to think about uniting Yuan Shao."

Xun you said, "if that's the case, Yuan Shao will be ignored. Next, we will rely on ourselves and Liu Bei to fight against Zhang Xiu's army. But this matter must be kept secret, because the royal guards under Zhang Xiu's command are all pervasive, and the information is very well-informed. "

After a pause, Xun you continued: "we have to hide the news that we are going north to help Yuan Shao. What's more, we should never reveal the news that we are going to arrange a large army on the border of the great Wei Dynasty. "

Cao Cao said, "what Gongda said is true."

The rest of them echoed one after another. They talked about the plan one by one, revised the detailed arrangement, and adjusted the whole plan. When they mentioned the plan of attacking Nanyang, they no longer chose it and turned to comprehensive defense.
