Conquer all worlds starting from the mythical Three Kingdoms

"..."

After Cao Cao returned to his room, he felt uneasy.

He knew he shouldn't doubt the counselors around him, but he just couldn't help being suspicious.

As for his brother, after all, he has known him for many years, so he can still trust him even if Cao Chun is captured and released.

However, speaking of trust, Cao Cao still temporarily placed Cao Chun in an unimportant position. He needed time to observe.

But he still couldn't believe too much in these counselors and the children of the aristocratic families, even if they clearly showed their loyalty.

Therefore, Cao Cao never delegated the right to make decisions. No matter what strategies Xun Yu and others put forward, he needed to make judgments.

This is an excellent quality that a monarch should have. In addition, Cao Cao himself has outstanding abilities, so he can always make correct decisions compared to Yuan Shao. This is also the reason why a group of counselors took refuge in Cao Cao.

As long as the monarch can appoint talents, other shortcomings are not intolerable, and in their eyes, suspicion is a quality that a hero should possess.

Cao Cao calmed down the turbulence of emotions in his heart, and then began to read the letter in his hand carefully.

However, Cao Cao was a capable minister, but after all, there was a gap between his wisdom and these counselors who were born with spiritual talents.

Jia Xu didn't say much in the letter, but the main core content was.

Qingzhou has already formed an alliance with Bingzhou. After the spring begins, Qingzhou, Bingzhou, and Heishan bandits will attack Yanzhou together.

At that time, Qingzhou will also use Xuzhou to attack Yanzhou together with Xuzhou.

The more Cao Cao read, the more frightened he became. He didn't know why these counselors would completely define this information as false news.

Moreover, Jia Xu mentioned Chen Gong in his letter.

Others don't know, but he has to know that Chen Gong is very quick to deal with him. If Qingzhou and Bingzhou are really in alliance, Chen Gong may really drive Lu Bu to attack Yanzhou.

Moreover, there were indeed contacts between Qingzhou and Bingzhou before. This was not a secret. Cao Cao knew this information.

Cao Cao's face was uncertain. He didn't know whether he should trust Xun Yu's judgment at this moment.

In the end, Cao Cao decided that he would rather believe what he had than what he didn't have. He couldn't risk Chen Gong's conscience with his current foundation.

He might not have done this before, but Xi Zhicai's defeat made him realize that spiritually gifted counselors are not invincible, and they may also fail.

Every decision he makes must be his own responsibility.

Moreover, the children of these aristocratic families may not necessarily have no selfish motives in their hearts.

In the last defeat, he lost Xiahou Dun, Cao Chun, and Cheng Yu. Looking back now, none of those people from the aristocratic families were dispatched.

And it was the aristocratic family who encouraged them to test Taishan County, so there may not be a conspiracy.

The power of aristocratic families such as the Xun family, Wei family, and Chen family made him wary. It was good to have the support of these aristocratic families, but if the proportion of people from these aristocratic families was too large, then whether Yanzhou was Xincao or someone else's surname of.

Therefore, Cao Cao did not adopt Xun Yu's suggestion, but deployed heavy troops in the direction of Bingzhou and Xuzhou. Cao Ren and Cao Hong respectively sent Xia Houyuan with an army to take positions in the direction of the Black Mountain bandits in advance.

He is taking Cao Chun with him, preparing to take other civil and military forces to move toward Yanzhou after the spring.

No matter when, Cao Cao always believed in himself.

……

"Hahaha, it seems that Cao Cao believed it when we mobilized troops in winter!" After seeing the caravan's information, Jia Xu smiled and handed it to Guo Jia.

"If you are so suspicious, no wonder you will suffer from a headache in the future!" Guo Jia sneered twice.

Cao Cao's actions were completely within his and Jia Xu's expectations. To be honest, Xun Yu and others were indeed on par with them.

But who allowed them to master the information about Cao Cao, and even Xun Yu and others in advance, which resulted in a completely unequal status between the two sides.

They are in the dark, Xun Yu and the others are in the light, and Xun Yu and the others will not find out what is wrong with Cao Cao unless they suffer a big loss.

After all, many times, the essence of a person can only be determined after the verification of time.

They have read their own biographies and recognized the historical records, so they believe that Cao Cao is also consistent with the records.

Their series of strategies have only one meaning, which is to let Cao Cao take the initiative to divide his troops so that after the spring begins, Guo Jia can lead his army to attack the counties and counties in Yanzhou.

"Are you sure we'd better start before spring plowing? Delaying spring plowing may affect agricultural production." Guo Jia picked up the wine glass in his hand and asked rather distressedly.

"Hmph, do you think we can kill Cao Cao in one go?" Jia Xu put down the tea cup in his hand and asked seriously after hearing this.

"It shouldn't be possible..." Guo Jia also put down the wine glass in his hand and said seriously.

Based on their understanding of Cao Cao, they would never be able to defeat him at once, especially when they spread the battle line on such a large scale.

However, this time they will definitely be able to take something from Yanzhou, but the inability to kill will eventually lead to hidden dangers.

"That's why I chose before spring plowing!" Jia Xu said gloomily.

"You live up to your reputation as a poisoner, but aren't you worried about the emperor's rebuke?" Guo Jia understood.

Jia Xu's intention is obvious, that is to drag Cao Cao to self-destruction. The Qingzhou family has a big business and can sustain it even if they don't farm this year, but Cao Cao can't.

He wanted to see if the Yanzhou aristocratic families could use up their wealth to help Cao Cao, especially when Cao Cao was defeated. Apart from those thousand-year-old aristocratic families, the remaining small and medium-sized aristocratic families were nothing more than mere grassroots.

When fighting against each other, they will still support Cao Cao. Once Cao Cao falls into an absolute disadvantage, he might just sell Cao Cao.

After all, the choice between possible destruction in the future and immediate destruction now is not difficult to make.

However, although Jia Xu's plan is effective, the problem is that such behavior will inevitably cause Yanzhou to starve to death. Maybe many people will die in Yanzhou by then.

"I will naturally plead guilty to the emperor. Cao Mengde is a great enemy. You should understand this!" Jia Xu's eyes showed deep fear.

Although the three families returned to the Jin Dynasty, Cao Cao, the Emperor Wu of Wei, was really not formidable.

Jia Xu was very afraid of it, fearing that it would explode like in history. What they wanted was a complete Thirteen States, not the kind of Central Plains that was directly smashed to pieces or even caused chaos in China as recorded in the records.

"Well, when the time comes, I will advise the emperor to send troops to gather the refugees!" Guo Jia sighed and did not continue to persuade Jia Xu. He knew that since Jia Xu had already shown his cards to him, he had naturally made preparations.

If he interferes now, it will only destroy Jia Xu's plan. As the person in charge of the crusade against Yanzhou, Jia Xu's plan can indeed facilitate him to the greatest extent.

"Your words are enough!" Jia Xu nodded. He came to Guo Jia for a showdown, just to let Guo Jia take over and recover some losses.

Jia Xu now really understands why Mu Yi always talks about population as the most precious resource. Although they can plunder populations from other worlds, they are all different after all.
