The top-quality kraft paper was carefully spread on the table. After unfolding, the lines drawn on it with different depths and thicknesses appeared clearly in the eyes.

This is... a map?

Seeing a map of this era for the first time, Gu Qi said that he was confused.

Only after comparison did he know how clear and easy to understand the map of the original world is. Even the map in Jian Wang No. [-] even marked him with an arrow. Now let him see this thing... Let's give up!

This map is too abstract, don't let him see what it means, he can hardly tell the difference between up, north, down, south, left, west, right, and east. Gu Qi looked around and made sure he really couldn't see it. Knowing what is painted on it is challenging the limits of human beings.

"Sir, this..."

"Jin Shu, don't worry, listen to Zhong Yi first." Xi Zhicai held down the map, and rarely let Gu Qi and Guo Jia express their opinions first, and he spoke first.

Gu Qi wanted to say one more thing, but Wang Xizhi had already started talking, so he stood aside and shut up obediently. In fact, he just wanted to say, he couldn't understand this thing, could he quit? However, this Before he could speak, Xi Zhicai blocked him directly.

Sir, this is not the place for you to be active!

"Qingzhou, Yanzhou, Yuzhou, and Yangzhou are the four neighboring states. The person in charge of Qingzhou is Kong Rong and Kong Wenju. Kong Wenju was transferred to Yilang in the first year of Chuping because of his disobedience to Dong Zhuo. He went to Beihai County, Qingzhou, where the Yellow Turban Army was most prosperous. Apparently, he is upright and has a political voice, and there are people in Qingzhou who are making trouble there, so there is no threat to us for the time being." Xi Zhicai knocked on the table, glanced at Gu Qi and Guo Jia who were listening seriously, and then continued, "Yuzhou In the hands of Yuan Gonggong, and Yuan Gonggong is now attacking Yangzhou, the two places are mutually restraining, and there is still no threat to us."

"Then only Yanzhou is left!" After Guo Jia listened to it completely, he had a guess as to what Xi Zhicai wanted to say, throwing bricks to attract jade, Mr. has said so much, but still didn't say the main point at all!

Yanzhou, Cao Mengde!

Before, sir, he wanted to bring Jinshu to Cao Cao to find Mr. Xun, who would have thought that such a situation would happen now, Guo Jia sighed in his heart, but he didn't feel uncomfortable at all.

Just like what Jinshu said two days ago, those who come come voluntarily, those who go are free, where they go is their freedom, and no one can force them to go anywhere.

Gu Qi didn’t look at the map and looked at Xi Zhicai. He couldn’t read the map, but Mr. Xi could still understand what he said, “Sir, Cao Mengde is the one who decides Yanzhou now, Mr. Xun is still there, how should we fight?”

Looking at Gu Qi with a serious face, Guo Jia shook his head helplessly. This silly boy, who has been tricked so many times, can't grow up with snacks and fell into the trap again!

"Everyone has his own aspirations, and each has his own master. Jin Shu doesn't have to worry about it." Xi Zhicai shook his fan, with a calm look on his face. Here, Xi Zhicai and Xun Wenruo would never have thought that they would be best friends.

Where are friends so ruthless?

However, at this time, this kind of situation will indeed happen. It is just that sentence.

"That's easy." With Xi Zhicai's Dinghaishenzhen, Gu Qi didn't have any scruples when he said it, and the two words he said were extraordinarily imposing, "Break the food!"

People depend on food, so what's the future of following a boss who makes him hungry? It's better to go home and be a bandit, so he won't be hungry.

Cao Cao is short of food, Gu Qi knows this better than everyone else.

The lack of food may be hidden for a while, but with the cheat of knowing the historical facts, Gu Qi knows exactly what Cao Cao is hiding now, and he also believes that it is impossible for Xi Zhi to do anything Didn't see it.

Even if you guess, you can guess it. The battle in Yanzhou has never stopped. Whoever has the thought to farm the land well can maintain the status quo? The soldiers were all starving to death. Mr. Xi knew everything about the world, so he couldn't believe that he couldn't see the current situation.

Xi Zhicai nodded and signaled Gu Qi to continue. However, Gu Qi looked at Guo Jia and waited for him to explain. He was afraid that if he accidentally said something he shouldn't have said, it would be embarrassing if he couldn't end it in a while. .

Guo Jia glared at Gu Qi, every time he was troubled, really, lost to these two people.

"Sir, you know that there is a shortage of food in Guanzhong. Except for Jingzhou and Xuzhou, the rest of the places are starved of food. Even Yuzhou is the same in some places. The people are so poor, so how can they get the army food? Cao Cao wants to attack Xuzhou. It’s because of Xuzhou’s food reserves.” Guo Jia pointed to Yanzhou on the map, and continued, “Yanzhou is located in the Central Plains, and Cao Cao has always paid attention to civil affairs. If the world is peaceful, he may recover in a year or two, but now it seems , he can't last until then."

"There is nothing left in Sili. Yuan Shao absolutely dare not lend a large amount of grain at this time, and Liu Biao of Jingzhou, if not enough interests, would not be able to form an alliance with Cao Cao." Xi Zhicai pointed out the states around Yanzhou one by one, and then Stopped at the location of Jingzhou, "In Jingzhou, if you go north and cross the river, you can attack Wanluo, go east along the river, you can take Jiangdong, and go up the west, you can take Yizhou. Moreover, although the world is in turmoil, the area around Jingzhou and Yizhou is relatively stable. After taking Yanzhou, this Jingzhou must not be let go."

Jingzhou and Xuzhou are not the same. Xuzhou has restored peace after the war, while Jingzhou has never had any wars. It develops government affairs internally and uses less troops externally. Therefore, in real comparison, Jingzhou is even better.

However, compared to the armed forces, the two Jingzhous combined cannot compare to Xuzhou.

However, this is not the basis for being able to attack Jingzhou now. Although Xi Zhicai and Guo Jia can't understand where Xi Zhicai and Guo Jia poked on the map, he also knows how far Jingzhou is from here.

Is it a bit hasty to fight Jingzhou across Yuzhou? Although Lu Bu can fight, it is too dangerous to go deep into the enemy's interior.

Moreover, they can think of this, and Liu Biao can also think that facing Lu Bu's tiger and wolf army, he might as well send food to Cao Cao directly, at least he can last for a few more years, and it would be even better if he can beat Lu Bu down .

After Gu Qi asked his question, Xi Zhi explained with a smile, "If Cao Cao takes down Xuzhou, where will he go next?"

"Jingzhou?"

Gu Qi was silent for a while, he was really stupid, no matter what happened to Liu Biao, he couldn't run away if he was being watched, he was beaten anyway, why did he send the food out?

If you help Cao Cao, let Cao Cao beat Lu Bu without any worries. If you beat him down, you will have the rich land of Xuzhou, but even if you have Xuzhou, his food may not be able to come back.

At this time, not much of the food sent out can be returned. Cao Cao is benevolent on the surface, but everyone knows who he is. Hit, can't wait for a few years.

If he doesn't help Cao Cao, sits on the mountain and watches the tigers fight, and waits for both Cao Cao and Lu Bu to suffer, and has no energy to take care of other things. At this time, he can still develop Jingzhou well and strengthen the army by the way. If he can get a big deal, that would be great up!

Therefore, there is no need to think too much about what to do. If you dare to intervene at this time, it will definitely end badly in the end. It is better to do nothing.

However, Liu Biao was wrong about one more point, that was Lu Bu's strength. They all underestimated Lu Bu's strength, thinking that he was just a general under Dong Zhuo who only had brute force, which was totally unfounded.

One wrong step, one wrong step, one underestimation, and the damage caused is irreparable. It can be said that Xizhi made Lu Bu do nothing after he arrived in Xuzhou, and the effect of keeping Xuzhou stable in exchange was better than expected .

"Besides, it's not about starting now." Guo Jia added next to him. Now that they have so many things to do, they can't take care of Jingzhou's affairs. "When the lord takes Yanzhou, then Bofu will be in Yangzhou. , as long as Gongsun Zan can last a few more years, will he still worry about not being able to win Jingzhou?"

"Liu Biao is not the lord's opponent at all. At that time, the Yuzhou area will be completely surrounded." Gu Qi thought about the geographical locations of Jingzhou and Xuzhou. In this way, Lu Bu's advantages are fully displayed, and half of the Han Dynasty is included. bingo.

However, this is only speculation based on the best form. The situation is ever-changing today, and no matter what goes wrong, the previous plan can be completely disrupted. Right now, it is better for them to focus on Yanzhou.

"My lord has already sent elite soldiers to garrison Langye, and we are just waiting for Cao Mengde to come."

Xie County is adjacent to Taishan County, Langye belongs to Xuzhou, Taishan belongs to Yanzhou, Cao Cao and Yuan Shao have a good relationship, and the relationship between Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu is not ordinary, so it is impossible for Yuan Shu to lend the road to Cao Cao. If he wants to fight, only Taishan Road.

Ever since Lu Bu came to Xuzhou, he had never had a formal conflict with anyone. Even if Tao Qian defected before, he did nothing. Such a subconscious reaction makes people think that this person is an idiot.

That's good, so they will have less scruples when they fight. Not only Cao Cao, but everyone else thinks so, but now, only Cao Cao has the thought and ability to attack Xuzhou.

At this time, Cao Mengde couldn't help but consolidate himself in Yanzhou. If he didn't fight others, he wouldn't be able to support his army, so he could only choose a rich and easy place to fight.

If it weren't for the difficult roads in central Shu and the fact that Jingzhou is easy to defend and difficult to attack, it is estimated that the military rations would be exhausted before they can be defeated.

So, let's fight Lu Bu, the same rich land, Lu Bu...he really may not be able to defend it!

Cao Cao had full confidence in himself, but, after all, Lu Bu had a bad reputation outside, and he wanted to attack Xuzhou. To be honest, many people under his command disagreed, and the leader was Xun Yu.

It wasn't because of his relationship with Xi Zhicai that he didn't want to meet in battle. It was precisely because he was close friends with Xi Zhicai that Xun Yu knew better that Lu Bu, who was assisted by Xi Zhicai, was not as vulnerable as Cao Cao imagined.

Moreover, there is Gu Jinshu who doesn't know the details, Xuzhou is really not a good place to fight!

However, Cao Cao has been forced by the current embarrassment in the army. He has no choice but to fight, or the army that has been assembled with great difficulty will disperse and go home to work in his old profession.

What did the Qingzhou Army under Cao Cao do originally? They were all the Yellow Turban thieves who had caused chaos in the past!

Therefore, Xun Yu's objection was quickly suppressed by a group of generals, and this time even Cao Cao, the master who always listened to what he said, didn't care much about his concerns.

Something is going to happen!

Because Guo Jia and Gu Qi both lived in their own mansion, so after telling Lu Bu about something, they mostly discussed the countermeasures in the mansion, and then went to the meeting hall to discuss with everyone.

"Tomorrow's conference hall, call everyone to discuss this matter." Closing the map, Xi Zhicai looked at Gu Qi, obviously there were other things to say.

Gu Qi hurriedly took a step back, "Sir..."

It's okay for them to do anything in private, the meeting hall...let's forget it!

"What are you thinking about?" Xi Zhicai scolded with a smile, knowing that this kid doesn't like to go to the meeting hall, he has long since given up any hope, "My lord has been thinking about how to beat Tao Gongzu recently, but if we want to restrain Yuan Shao, we have to not Instead, he wanted to help Gongsun Zan in the dark, and the matter of persuading him was left to Jinshu."

After getting along with Lu Bu for so long, Xi Zhicai finally understood that sometimes he couldn't persuade him well, and if he let Jin Shu go, he would definitely succeed.

Jin Shu's good looks are not wasted here.

Seeing that Xi Zhicai and Guo Jia had the same eyes: You look good, you can go to the job of persuading people, Gu Qi is a little speechless, is it his fault?

The three of them talked for a while, then someone knocked on the door of the study, and a servant with a strange face walked up to Xi Zhicai, "Sir, General Wen Yuan and General Bo Fu are at the door now, saying they have something to do."

The author has something to say: Xi Zhicai: Jin Shu's face has played a big role, this time the lord can't be persuaded, there is Lao Jinshu!

Guo Xiaojia: I know that rough man only knows how to look at his face!

Gu Xiaoqi: You look good, blame me~
