Three Kingdoms: copy Lu Bu's force at the beginning

Gongsun Zan and Yuan Shao were still fighting hard.

Because of Ju Yi's sudden participation in the battle, he had to allocate part of his troops to fight against Ju Yi.

Originally, Yuan Shao already had an advantage over Gongsun Zan, and it was only a matter of time before he could defeat Gongsun Zan.

But Ju Yi's participation in the battle caught Yuan Shao off guard, so he had to divide his troops to resist the enemy.

In this way, Yuan Shao fought against Gongsun Zan and Ju Yi at the same time, and the advantage was lost, and the three parties maintained a balanced state.

This situation is exactly what Hua Yu wants.

The longer the three parties delay, it will be unfavorable for both Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zan.

Therefore, Hua Yu only let Ju Yi participate in the battle, and did not send any more troops.

Of course, Hua Yu's reason was that he was ordered to go south to quell the Han Sui Rebellion, which made Gongsun Zan speechless.

What about Cao Cao in Yanzhou?

After a period of recuperation, his strength slowly recovered.

For Cao Cao, there is no shortage of elite soldiers and generals under his command, the only thing he lacks is food and grass.

As long as food and grass can be supplied in an endless stream, almost no one in the Guandong princes is Cao Cao's opponent.

Of course, if Yuan Shao can unify the four northern states, his strength will absolutely crush Cao Cao.

In the current Guandong, Yuan Shao only has the land of Jizhou, and compared with Cao Cao's strength, he does not have much advantage.

Moreover, not long after Yuan Shao occupied Jizhou, he began to fight for hegemony with Gongsun Zan, and he was really exhausted.

Cao Cao did not intend to participate in the war between Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zan, and he still set his target on Xuzhou.

Originally, according to Cao Cao's intention, after Yanzhou's new wave of grain and grass was collected, he planned to send troops to Xuzhou.

However, Guo Jia persuaded Cao Cao and asked Cao Cao to wait.

At this time, Xi Zhicai had died of illness, and Guo Jia became Cao Cao's number one strategist in terms of military strategy.

Guo Jia said: "My lord, Lu Bu was defeated and went to Xuzhou, where he was taken in by Liu Bei."

"Whether it's Lu Bu or the second general Guan Zhang, they are all invincible."

"If the lord attacks Xuzhou at this moment, then Lu Bu and Liu Bei will definitely work together to resist the lord's army."

"Liu Bei is good at training troops, and Lu Bu is good at commanding the army. If the two of them work together, even if our army is sure to win, the casualties will be heavy."

After Cao Cao heard this, he frowned and thought for a while, and felt that what Guo Jia said made sense, so he asked: "In the meaning of filial piety, how should we attack Xuzhou?"

Guo Jia smiled slightly: "I have a plan, which is called the plan of driving away tigers and swallowing wolves."

Cao Cao's heart moved, and he asked, "Could it be a conspiracy?"

"Exactly." Guo Jia explained with a smile, "Liu Bei and Lu Bu are both powerful and ambitious."

"One mountain cannot accommodate two tigers. Liu Bei had to accept Lu Bu because of his reputation, but Lu Bu did not sincerely rely on Liu Bei."

"Once there is a chance, Lu Bu will definitely seize Xuzhou by clever means."

"The strength of the two is equal, and it will be hard to tell the winner in the short term. It will be a situation where both sides will suffer."

"At that time, my lord will personally lead the army to Xuzhou, and Xuzhou will surely be settled in a single battle."

"Okay." Cao Cao's eyes lit up. He was good at military strategy, and he immediately understood after being reminded by Guo Jia.

"Feng Xiao, since he has such a good strategy, there must be a clever plan."

Guo Jia smiled slightly: "This matter is simple, my lord only needs to send someone to send a letter to Liu Bei, imitating Hua Yu's method of separating Ma Teng and Han Sui."

Hua Yu's method of separating Ma Teng and Han Sui?
This sentence immediately made Cao Cao's eyes light up again. This is indeed a good strategy.

Although Cao Cao hated Hua Yu to the bone, and wished that Hua Yu could be skinned, but he really admired Hua Yu's strategy.

Hua Ziyi, when I conquer Xuzhou and Qingzhou, I will settle our old scores with you.

The matter of Bian and Huan'er has always been a thorn in Cao Cao's heart.

It's better to come to Ying'er, after all, Cao Cao can only talk to her and can fool her, but he doesn't have any feelings for her yet.

But Cao Cao has feelings for the Bian family and Huan'er. Of course, Cao Cao thinks he has feelings for Huan'er.

Therefore, killing Hua Ziyi is Cao Cao's recent ideal, otherwise, he will have to live in Hua Yu's shadow all the time.

"Okay, I will write two letters right now, one will be sent to Xuzhou and handed over to Liu Bei."

"After delivering Liu Bei's letter, this servant was deliberately caught by Lu Bu's sergeant when he was passing by Xiapi."

"Hey, this letter is written to Yuan Shu, and it will definitely fall into Lu Bu's hands."

"In the letter to Yuan Shu, I want to join forces with Liu Bei and him to attack Lu Bu."

"Then Lu Bu must have suspected that the letter I wrote to Liu Bei was to invite Liu Bei and Yuan Shu to attack him together."

"With Lu Bu's temper, he will definitely go to Pengcheng to question Liu Beixing."

"In order to remove the suspicion, Liu Bei will definitely hand over my letter to Lu Bu for his review."

"Hehe, a piece of that letter was smeared. After careful consideration, it must be the content about asking Liu Bei and Yuan Shu to attack Lu Bu together."

"In this way, Lu Bu and Liu Bei will inevitably turn against each other and fight each other."

Guo Jia nodded with a smile: "My lord is wise."

"When Liu Bei and Lu Bu are inseparable, my lord will use the excuse of helping Lu Bu to send troops suddenly, and Pengcheng will be settled in one battle."

"My lord, getting Pengcheng is equivalent to getting half of Xuzhou, so Liu Bei and Lu Bu are no longer afraid."

"Okay." Cao Cao shouted in a deep voice as soon as he clapped the case, "I will follow the plan of filial piety."

"If our army can successfully take Xuzhou, Fengxiao will take the lead."

This is the difference between a counselor and a general.

The general led the army to fight, exhausted himself, and it was only the credit of the First World War.

However, counselors make suggestions and suggestions, but they have an overall influence, and the credit is naturally extremely huge.

Guo Jia was also polite, and cupped his hands with a smile: "Thank you, my lord."

Cao Cao immediately began to draft two letters, one to Liu Bei and one to Yuan Shu.

After a while, when the letter was finished, Cao Cao called a confidant and gave him the two letters after giving him careful instructions.

After the matter was settled, Guo Jia said goodbye to Cao Cao and went back to his residence.

In the mansion, there are fine wines and beauties waiting for him.

Guo Jia I was smart, but there were only two things he couldn't see through, namely wine and women.

Good wine and good women are Guo Jia's two hobbies, but because of his poor health, he consumed a lot of energy on these two hobbies, which led to his untimely death.

After finishing this matter, Cao Cao also breathed a sigh of relief, put on a coat, and walked out of the study.

The sky is getting dark, and another day has passed.

Looking in the direction of Guanzhong, Cao Cao's expression changed into a gritty color, and he muttered to himself: "Yu'er, Huan'er, Lai Yinger, you wait, I will definitely be able to break through Chang'an, and save you from suffering." rescued."

It's just that Cao Cao is a little sentimental.

The Bian family, Lai Ying'er and Huan'er are not in dire straits, but are living happily in Champion Hou's mansion.

At this time, if there is another chance to choose, the three of them will choose Huayu without hesitation.
