After being abandoned by Liu Bei, Cao Cao begged me to be a military adviser

Xun You then expressed his support for Cheng Yu's strategy.

Chen Qun and Jiang Gan even supported Liu Ye's countermeasures.

At this time, Guo Jia stepped forward: "Prime Minister, I have a different opinion!"

"Tell me your opinion!" Cao Cao gestured to Guo Jia.

Guo Jia cupped his hands and said slowly: "Prime Minister, I suggest you go to Guandu and ignore Sun Ce!"

As soon as this remark came out, the officials in the hall were in an uproar.

"Ignore Sun Ce?"

"What if Sun Ce ran thousands of miles to attack Xudu?"

"Is Guo Jijiu sick again?"

Seeing everyone's doubts, Guo Jia was not only not angry, but a three-point smile appeared on his face.

If his strategy is the same as others, then he is not Guo Jia.

Cao Cao smiled and said, "Could it be that Feng Xiao also thinks that Sun Ce's life is not long?"

"That's right, after Sun Ce invaded Jiangdong and killed the local tyrants wantonly, he will be retaliated against. If he doesn't wait for him to attack for thousands of miles, he may die at the hands of villains, so there is no need to worry!" Guo Jiagang suddenly realized something after he finished speaking.

What Cao Cao said just now is also true.

That said, there are others who agree with me.

"Hahaha!" Cao Cao laughed loudly: "Sure enough, Feng Xiao's views coincide with Cao Ji's!"

"Cao Ji?" Guo Jia was stunned, the name was obviously unfamiliar to him.

Cao Cao got up: "I have made up my mind, I will ignore Sun Ce and go to Guandu to fight Yuan Shao!"

"Obey!" Civil servants and generals clasped their fists to signal, and then dispersed.

Guo Jia was extremely puzzled, and hurried out of the lobby and grabbed Xun Yu's arm.

"Wen Ruo stays behind, ask for advice!"

"Master Jijiu, please forgive me, I'd better ask someone else about Cao Ji! Shangshutai still has something to do!" Xun Yu pushed Guo Jia's hand away, turned and left.

Guo Jia had no choice but to stop Cheng Yu, Xun Yu and Liu Ye.

"Who is Cao Ji? Do you know each other?"

"I don't know!" The three of them shook their heads one after another.

"Really?" Guo Jia was even more puzzled.

Cheng Yu shook his head: "Master Jijiu, don't be confused, no one knows this Mr. Cao Ji except the prime minister!"

Xun You said, "It's strange to say that this Mr. Cao Ji planned the battle of Baima City for the Prime Minister, and now he is as sure of Sun Ce's death as Mr. Jijiu, but no one knows where Cao Ji is!"

Liu Ye said, "If you want me to say, the strategy of breaking the siege and uniting the vertical proposed by the prime minister was also the strategy proposed by Cao Ji!"

At this time, Jiang Gan came over again: "I heard that Guan Yu was driven away by the prime minister because he offended Cao Ji!"

Guo Jia was dumbfounded on the spot.

Who is Cao Ji?

Why no one has seen it?

Even Guan Yu was driven away for offending Cao Ji?

How much this Cao Ji is valued by the prime minister!

But the question is, why has no one seen Cao Ji?

Where is Cao Ji?

Guo Jia felt that the claws were scratching his heart, so he went to Shangshutai to find Xun Yu when he left the Xiangfu.

Xun Yu's answer was simple: "I don't know."

Guo Jia wilted immediately, and went directly to Wanhualou to play.

Three days later, news came from Jiangdong.

While hunting, Sun Ce was killed by Xu Gong's disciples.

Jiangdong supported Sun Ce's younger brother Sun Quan to succeed him.

This news caused a sensation in Xu Du.

Countless civil servants and military generals ran to the prime minister's mansion to look for Cao Cao that night.

But at this time Cao Cao was not in the prime minister's mansion, but hid in Liu Xian's small courtyard.

Mrs. Ganmei is in charge of cooking, Lao Huang is in charge of serving dishes, and Xiao Cao is in charge of pouring wine.

Liu Xian and Lao Cao were in charge of eating and drinking, while Lao Xu stood guard at the gate of the courtyard.

Cao Cao raised his wine glass and signaled, "Brother Ziyu, you really are a master of planning. Just now there is news from Jiangdong that Sun Ce was killed by Xu Gong's disciples!"

"Haha!" Liu Xian laughed: "If there is no accident, Jiang Dong will support Sun Quan to succeed to the throne!"

"That's right, it's Sun Quan!" Lao Cao nodded, "This man is young, and the Lord of Jiangdong is less suspicious of the country, so he is powerless to attack Xudu again!"

Liu Xian also laughed: "Mr. Cao can finally go to Guandu to fight Yuan Shao with peace of mind!"

Lao Cao nodded: "That's right, I'm going to the front line soon, please ask Mr. Ziyu to teach me how to defeat the enemy!"

But Liu Xian shook his head slightly: "In the battle of the white horse, Yuan Shao lost two generals and tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, but the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, Cao Gong still has no advantage!"

"Yeah!" Lao Cao nodded, "Sir, that's right!"

Liu Xian dipped his finger in some wine and drew a sketch.

"Yuan Shao is backed by the Yellow River, and supplies are constantly flowing. He must be proud and complacent, and he is not in a hurry to fight!"

"Mr. Cao can seize this weakness of his character, give Yuan Shao a severe blow, and then use the deep gullies and high ravines to hold on. No matter how frustrated Yuan Shao is, he will still be unable to take a single step!"

"Next, there will be a long confrontation between the two armies!"

Lao Cao asked: "Then according to Mr.'s opinion, how to defeat the enemy?"

Liu Xian said: "The two armies are facing each other, and the competition is for food, grass and logistics supplies. Once there is no food and grass, the soldiers will be unable to move an inch. If there is no accident, Yuan Shao will madly send people to rob Mr. Cao's food, grass and even logistics supplies!"

Lao Cao asked: "Sir, do you have any countermeasures?"

"Of course!" Liu Xian smiled slightly.

Lao Cao hurriedly cupped his hands: "Please show me, sir!"

Chapter 33 Cao Pi Appreciates Liu Xian as a Teacher, Yuan Shao Meets Cao Cao Before the Battle

Liu Xian said flatly: "Simple, multi-route, multi-batch, day and night transportation!"

"Oh?" Lao Cao looked at Liu Xian in surprise.

Liu Xian picked up the wine glass and explained to Lao Cao in detail.

"Let me give you an example. A food delivery team of 1000 people delivers food every ten days, which is just enough to supply the army for half a month!"

"Once the food transport team is robbed by Yuan Jun who sneaked in secretly, half a month's supply will be gone!"

"These 1000 people can be changed into a small team of 300 people, and they will set off every three days!"

"Even if the food transport team is intercepted by Yuan Jun, the loss will only be one-third of the original loss, and it will not affect the army!"

"Over time, Yuan Shao will give up this strategy when he sees that Liang Dao's harassment fails!"

"As expected of Mr. Ziyu, he can always plan ahead, my old Cao admires him!" Cao Cao cupped his hands to Liu Xian.

This problem, seemingly common but very fatal.

It is common for the two armies to confront each other and infiltrate each other.

Once the opponent's food and grass are intercepted, they must be burned.

Even rescue is too late.

The so-called, the three armies did not move food and grass first.

Once there is no food, the soldiers will be unable to fight, and the morale of the army will be broken.

"You are too polite, Mr. Chicken!" Liu Xian asked with a smile: "If you dedicate this strategy to Duke Cao, you will probably get a lot of rewards, right?"

"Ah this..."

Cao Cao was speechless on the spot, Liu Xian is so realistic!

I just offered a plan, and now I want to count the money.

Liu Xian reminded: "Master Chicken, don't be in a hurry, wait until the food and grass are robbed, and then offer advice to Cao Gong, so that you can get more rewards!"

Lao Cao: "@#!￥%&*#￥%..."

Cao Pi: "???"

Although Cao Cao was shocked, he had already gotten used to it.

He didn't want to explain anything, and said bluntly: "Brother Ziyu, I have prepared a place for you to stay in the village near Guandu. Please move to the village to stay in Jieshi and keep in effective contact with me!"

"Definitely, definitely!" Liu Xian nodded again and again, his eyes drifted to Lao Huang: "You go and clean up the things right away, we will go in a few days!"

Lao Huang shook his head: "Sir, you invested all your family's money in Madam's winery, and now you don't have any money back, so why bother?"

"No trouble?" Liu Xian turned to look at Lao Cao.

Lao Cao has 1 shit in his heart!

The one who sang in unison is obviously trying to blackmail me again!

"Cough cough!" Old Cao coughed dryly: "Don't worry, sir, I'll take care of everything, and I'll send someone to pick you up when the time comes!"

Liu Xian nodded, and looked at Lao Huang again: "How much money do you have at home?"

Lao Huang said: "It's less than 100 taels!"

Lao Cao's expression was extremely embarrassing, he didn't bother to speak, and directly threw the small half bag of gold on his waist onto the table: "That..."

Liu Xian, with quick hands and quick eyes, quickly put away the gold: "Thank you, Mr. Chicken, please go slowly!"

Cao Cao: "..."

"Master Ji, please!" Lao Huang immediately began to see off the guests.

"Damn it, I'm leaving!" Lao Cao cursed, turned around and walked away.

Cao Pi, who was in charge of pouring the wine, covered his mouth and burst out laughing.

Lao Huang immediately reprimanded Cao Pi: "Why are you laughing?"

Cao Pi said: "Sir, you are so powerful, even Master Ji has been manipulated by you!"

"What do you mean?" Liu Xian looked at Xiao Cao puzzled.

Cao Pi put down his wine glass, and immediately knelt down on one knee: "If you don't give up, sir, I would like to worship you as my teacher!"

Liu Xian looked at Lao Huang with complex expressions in his eyes.

Old Huang was also dumbfounded.

He bullied Xiao Cao every day, so it was fine for him to accept it, why did he still think of being a teacher?

Did I drink too much, or did I drink urine?

In fact, Cao Pi has learned a lot from working as a coolie at Liu Xian's house for the past few days.

Especially today, although he listened to the conversation between his father and Liu Xian calmly, there was already a great turmoil in his heart.

This Liu Xian seemed to be completely different from what he had imagined.

To be precise, Liu Xian is not a subject, but an expert hiding behind the scenes.

His strategy is not weaker than Guo Jia, a military adviser offering wine.

However, this expert is greedy for money and lustful, but never shows his true nature.

This is the reason why his father turned into Cao Ji and interacted with him on an equal footing.

In the same way, the intrigues that Cao Ji of the Prime Minister's Mansion repeatedly offered up were all from Liu Xian's mouth.
