[Comprehensive] Tibetan Sword

Guo Jia was bloodied by Cao Cao's beating, so Cao Cao refreshed himself and went on the road alone—while Guo Jia was recuperating.

Of course, before leaving, Cao Cao approached Xun Yu and explained his plan.

Xun Yu's complexion was not very good.

Speaking of which, since he came to Cao Ying, his life has been full of surprises. When he first came, he was directly appointed to guard the old nest. Finally, the lord successfully returned from the battle. As a result, the area of ​​​​the hometown expanded by one third, and there were Yingchuan, the home of the Xun family, had to manage it well, so he was forced to work hard again.

But no matter how busy you are, the lord is by your side anyway, and the lord will support you when the sky falls.

But within a few days of the good times, the lord said that he wanted to go to Xuzhou alone to pick up his old father.

Of course, this is the superficial reason, and the real reason sounds really reliable.

"Located in the Central Plains, Yanzhou has a long history, well-developed transportation, abundant water sources, fertile land, and a very good foundation. But while Yanzhou has these advantages, it also has a natural flaw." Cao Cao faced Xun Yu's suspicious question With a look in his eyes, he talked eloquently, "That's why the place is so good! It's so good... the surrounding places are also okay, and it can even accommodate a lot of princes."

Cao Cao felt very upset when he thought of the people around his territory, "Let's not talk about the people in the north, and Gongsun Zan in Youzhou in the north doesn't need me to worry about it for the time being. The state army was broken down into several parts, wreaking havoc in Sili, and Zhang Yan's Black Mountain Yellow Turban running around at the junction of Jizhou and Yanzhou, Liu Biao in Jingzhou in the southwest, Tao Qian in Xuzhou in the southeast, Yuan Shu in Yangzhou, and the junction of Xuzhou in Yuzhou Lv Bu in Jiangdong, not to mention Sun Ce in Jiangdong...Wen Ruo, have you found out? Looking at the world, except for the Sili Xiliang Army, our position is surrounded on all sides. If we are strong, we can overlook the world. But our current strength is not as good as it was at the beginning, and Minsheng is not as strong as Jingzhou Liu Biao and Xuzhou Tao Qianqiang, who have been in business for many years, so we seem to be safe now, but in fact we are in danger."

Cao Cao has a huge map in his heart, on which all the princes are included, and Yanzhou he occupies is the center of the world.

"If you want to get rid of this situation, you have to jump out. Don't think about the north. Sitting on the land of four states in the first place is not what we can win now. Liu Biao in Jingzhou is a royal family member. Fighting for no reason will definitely attract criticism from all over the world. And we just fought with Yuan Shu, as for the Sili and other places in the west... Although it is urgent to save His Majesty from the Xiliang Army, even if we rescued His Majesty, we will still be surrounded by other princes, and the predicament is not serious. There is no release, so... I can only look east."

"To the east are Xuzhou and Qingzhou. Although Xuzhou Mu Taoqian occupies Xuzhou, Lu Bu also occupies a part of it. Lu Bu is brave and Tao Qian will not tolerate it. This can be used."

"I have already occupied part of Qingzhou, and the rest can be settled once and for all this time. As for Yuzhou... I took Yingchuan, Runan, Chen County, Qiao County... the remaining counties and counties are not in my hands. Isn't it a pity?"

"In this way, we can obtain the land of Yanzhou, Qingzhou, and Yuzhou, with the Yellow Sea to the east, Yuan Shao to the north, Yuan Shu to the south, and Zhongdu to the east."

"Sili Luoyang is still in chaos, so ignore it for now. He was fighting with Gongsun Zan at the beginning, and he didn't have time to take care of us. On the contrary, because of Yangzhou Yuan Shu, he wanted to make friends with us. Only in this way can we have enough Time to develop people's livelihood, manage these three states, and prepare for the future world game."

"Therefore, Xuzhou must fight, and find a sufficient excuse to fight!"

In the soft candlelight, Cao Cao's face changed from flickering to flickering, and his expression could not be seen clearly. The only thing clearly visible was his shining eyes. Xun Yu seemed to see a volume of the world slowly emerging in his eyes. He was silent for a moment, and had to admit, Cao Cao This person is indeed a hero in the world.

It is a blessing to be able to play a role under this person and pass it down through the ages!

Xun Yu sighed slightly, "My lord's analysis is clear and logical, and Wen Ruo admires it, but the son of a daughter can't sit down. It's too risky for my lord to go to Xuzhou alone."

Cao Cao disagreed, "It is because I am alone that I can guarantee that I can come back safely."

Seeing that Xun Yu still looked uneasy, Cao Cao was a little embarrassed. In order to prevent himself from finding out that his hometown had been taken away after the war, he had to continue to explain in detail, "Father lives in Hua County at this time. I have sent a letter to ask him to come back. Taishan Prefect Ying Shao is considered benevolent and trustworthy, otherwise my father would not have hid under his rule, and my father would have to pass through Xuzhou if he wanted to come to Zhencheng."

Xun Yu understood, it turned out that the lord of the family was worried about the boss and wanted to pick him up in person.

He changed his mind, was taken aback for a moment, and then suddenly raised his head to stare at Cao Cao.

Cao Cao shrugged, "You guessed it right, I can lead troops to pick him up, but in this way there is no reason to send troops to Xuzhou." He smiled slightly, the smile was sinister, "What if something happened to my father in Xuzhou? !"

Xun Yu was shocked when he heard the words, he lowered his eyelids, "The old man..."

"That's why I want to go in person." Cao Cao said calmly, "I, Cao Mengde, dare not say anything else. It is absolutely no problem to bring three to five hundred people to fight the battle. Even if Tao Qian wants to send there will not be too many people. The Cao family also has a hundred and ten servants, enough to protect the father and the second brother."

He had a half-smile, "In order to surprise my old father, the filial son Cao Mengde went to Xuzhou to meet his father in person, but he didn't want his father to be attacked. After struggling to defend against the intruders, he discovered that this person was actually sent by Xuzhou Mu Taoqian... Hehe, The rest is up to Zhicai.”

Before Cao Cao left, he moved Xia Houyuan's position from Yingchuan to Chenliu, and then left Xia Houchun to Xun Yu, and left Xun Yu [-] soldiers and horses for him to guard the house.

As for the authority, Cao Cao decided to leave it to Xun Yu to decide as before.

"Miaocai leads troops to stand guard near Chenliu. Let Zhicai go there first. If Feng Xiao is able to move, let him go too. Once they receive my news, they will immediately march into Pengcheng."

After Cao Cao talked about his plan, he emphasized the rear area, "When I hit Xuzhou, there must be some people who are upset. The prefect of Kyushu Bianrang, the governor of Yuzhou Guo Gong, Lu Bu who is entrenched on the border of Yuzhou, and Kong Rong from Beihai, and even the Zhang Miao may even come to cause trouble, and all of these...will be resolved by Wen Ruo."

Xun Yu's face turned black, and the darker and more difficult days in the future are beckoning to him. If he can be happy, he will be damned.

But on the other hand, if Cao Cao succeeds in occupying the land of the three states this time, then as Cao Cao said before, the civil affairs of the three states can be carried out slowly. Brother or the Xiliang army occupying Luoyang will no longer be a threat.

Once and for all, you can even compete in the world!

Bet or not?

Xun Yu struggled for a while, and agreed to Cao Cao's plan very depressed.

But he set a time limit for Cao Cao.

"Since the lord has made up his mind, then Yu will not say anything more, but the time between the lord's departure and his appearance should not be too long, otherwise the hearts of the army and the people will be uncertain, and there may be changes."

Cao Cao blinked, "How long does Wenruo think it will take?"

Xun Yu said slowly, "Since the lord is so brave, if nothing happens, he will arrive in Xuzhou soon. If that's the case, I will trouble the lord to take care of you."

"what?"

Xun Yu smiled and said, "Don't bother the two masters. Since Xuzhou has been transferred, you can also transfer to Yuzhou by the way. Anyway, it will be taken into your pocket, so you can save yourself a second trip."

Cao Cao: "..."

"The land of the two prefectures is not small, and my lord is still planning the affairs of Xuzhou, so... one month, how do you think?"

Xun Yu's smile was very gentle, but the corners of Cao Cao's mouth twitched when he saw it. According to the pace of travel in this age, one month was enough for him to transfer to Xuzhou. Xun Yu asked him to transfer to two states in a month, which was obviously making things difficult.

But... being so provoked by Xun Yu, Cao Cao's arrogance came up.

"One month? Wen Ruo, are you sure it's one month?"

Xun Yu nodded.

"If I can investigate Yuzhou and Xuzhou clearly in a month, what about Wen Ruo?"

Xun Yu raised his eyebrows, and interest flashed in his eyes, "It depends on the master."

Cao Cao pondered for a moment, then suddenly smiled.

"The sword is a gentleman in the army, and Wen Ruo can be called a model of a gentleman. If I can do it this time, Wen Ruo... would you like to practice sword?"

——He always has to test it before he gives up——

Xun Yu's face froze, he thought of Guo Jia who was still lying on the bed.

He said with difficulty, "What if the lord breaks his promise to Yu Yu?"

Cao Cao said boldly, "It doesn't matter, if I don't do it, I will let Xun You stay behind and Wen Ruo will follow the army!"

"..." Xun Yu was speechless for a while, and pushed the matter to Gongda, the nature of which has not changed at all!

But...it's a good idea, and it's not him who is unlucky.

"The gentleman said..."

"Hurry up and whip!"
