"What is the good plan for filial piety?" asked Cao Ang.”
"It's very simple. One word: Wait!"
Xiahou Dun was immediately unhappy." The Lord summoned us here today to discuss the matter of sending troops. Do you mean we're not going to fight?"”
Guo Jia said,
"The Duke of Cao died in battle, and the various factions are ready to make a move. However, I am certain that they will only probe and harass us, not launch a large-scale attack. This is because they will soon be embroiled in their own troubles, and they will not have the time to attack Xuchang with all their might.”
"Therefore, we only need to wait for a while. On one hand, we need to conserve our strength and store up our rations. On the other hand, we need to wait for the enemy to reveal a weakness and seize the opportunity to attack.”
Cao Ang nodded.
He combined it with his historical knowledge.
He roughly understood Guo Jia's thoughts.
"Why are you so sure?" Le Jin couldn't help but interrupt.”
Guo Jia carefully analyzed,
"Yuan Shao's greatest threat at the moment is not the lord, but Gongsun Zan.”
"According to my observation and judgment, the friction between Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zan is intensifying. The two will fight soon, and one of them will die in this battle.”
" Gongsun Zan is not strong enough to defeat Yuan Shao, so the possibility of defeat is very high. However, Gongsun Zan's temperament is strong and resolute, and he has a deep grudge with Yuan Shao. Therefore, it is impossible for him to surrender. He will fight to the death. I predict that the war will last for a long time. When Yuan Shao has no time to look south, we can attack freely.”
"Let's finish talking about Yuan Shao from Hebei."
"Let's talk about Yuan Shu of Huainan."
"Yuan Shu is a wolf with wild ambitions. He is busy claiming the title of emperor and arrogating the title of Son of Heaven. From the vassals to the celebrities and commoners, they are all shameless about his actions, so they are separated from him.”
"Therefore, we might as well wait for a period of time until Yuan Shu of Huainan officially becomes the emperor.”
"My lord, if you use the banner of the emperor's army to go out again, with the momentum of the Han Dynasty's righteousness, your reputation will definitely rise. The scholars and people of Huainan will respond and fight to join you.”
Cheng Yu and Cao Yi nodded.
They all felt that Guo Jia's analysis made sense.
"Where are Lu Bu, Liu Biao, Ma Teng, and Ma Chao?" Yu Jin asked.”
Guo Jia said," Lü Bu and Liu Biao are narrow-minded, unambitious, and have limited military strength. We will wait for fatigue and defend the rear. If we don't take the initiative to show our weakness, they will have no chance to take advantage of us. As for Ma Teng and his son, they are fighting fiercely with the Western Liang heroes for the Guanzhong Pass.”
"We can send messengers to befriend Ma Teng and his son, as well as Liu Bei of Pei City, to stabilize the pass and contain Lu Bu.”
Guo Jia was Guo Jia.
As expected, he had a clear view of the situation.
He could accurately predict things that did not happen.
Cao Ang was very familiar with the history of the Three Kingdoms.
What Guo Jia said was very consistent with the development of history.
Soon, Yuan Shao would fight Gongsun Zan until the third year of Jian 'an.
During this period of time, he had no time to plot against Xuchang. After Yuan Shu ascended the throne, he was in a terrible state.
The death of Cao Cao.
Although it would trigger a series of butterfly effects.
However, there was no need to rush to send troops. They could just let the bullets fly for a while.
"Fengxiao's analysis is very reasonable. Cheng Yu immediately wrote to Liu Bei and Liu Biao to build a good relationship with them." Cao Yi, the Guanzhong region is full of warlords. I'll leave it to you.”
"Yes, sir!"
The two accepted the order.
Cheng Yu handled the diplomatic affairs.
Cao Yi was in charge of Guanzhong. On one hand, he had to appease Ma Teng and Ma Chao. On the other hand, he had to use schemes to mess up Guanzhong so that they could fight more happily. Cao Yi was best at doing such things.
"Generals."
"From now on, strengthen the training of the army, recruit refugees from all directions, prepare horses and food, and be prepared for the upcoming battle.”
"Yes!"
The generals had no objections.
They immediately accepted the order.
After the meeting ended, everyone left.
However, Guo Jia stayed behind as if he had something to say.
"Is there anything else?" Cao Ang asked.”
"My lord, there are still two great talents in Xuchang City. It would be a pity if you don't use them."”
"You are talking about Xun Lingjun and Minister Xun.”
"My lord, it's the two of them!"
Cao Ang faintly smiled.
The person who recommended Guo Jia to Cao Cao was Xun Yu.
At this moment, Guo Jia was recommending his uncle and nephew to Cao Ang.
Xun Yu's position in Cao Wei was equivalent to Xiao He in the early Han Dynasty. Not only did he have outstanding strategies, but he also had extremely high management skills. He could be called the general manager of the rear.
Every time Cao Cao went on an expedition.
He would let Xun Yu be in charge of the rear.
Xun Yu was always in order and played a very important role.
However, Xun Yu had a background of being a minister of the Han Dynasty. He was upright and loyal. From the beginning, he had the idea of supporting the Han Dynasty and following Cao Cao. Therefore, he had an analysis with Cao Cao and committed suicide.
Cao Ang said," Xun Lingjun's character, strategy, and reputation are all top-notch in the world. He is also a talented assistant like Xiao He. It's time for me to pay him a visit."”
Xun Yu's heart turned to Han.
However, he did not conspire with Dong Cheng.
Otherwise, with Xun Yu's talent, he would be able to cause great trouble for Cao Ang.
The reason why he did not join Dong Cheng's circle was partly because Xun Yu was Cao Cao's old subordinate, so Dong Cheng and his gang did not trust him. On the other hand, Xun Yu had a very thorough understanding of the situation and knew that only Cao Cao had the ability to sweep away the chaotic world.
"Lord, leave this matter to me!" Guo Jia recommended himself.”
Cao Ang was confident in Guo Jia's ability.""Alright, tell Xun Lingjun and Minister Xun that if they still have the heart to make contributions, my door is always open to them.”
Guo Jia cupped his hands and bowed.
Only then did he bid farewell and leave.
