Cao Cao was confident.
Confidence alone was not enough.
He had to face reality.
Cao Xu continued to analyze the history.
"The battle between Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zan will end in a year at most. The best time for the decisive battle will be then.”
Guo Jia said," My guess is similar to Young Master's. Yuan Shao will certainly be able to seize Youzhou, but he will have to pay a high price. Moreover, his troops will be exhausted and his horses will be short of food. We can make sufficient preparations within this year.”
Cao Cao nodded.
He trusted Cao Xu and Guo Jia's judgment.
There were three problems at the moment-provisions, Hanoi Prefecture, and Wan City.
However…
Before he could ask.
Cao Xu said," Father can send Cao Ren and Zhang Liao to attack Mugu and take down Hanoi Prefecture, expanding our sphere of influence to the north of the Yellow River. This will certainly arouse Yuan Shao's vigilance, but his main force is in Youzhou, so he won't be able to react in time.”
"Father took the opportunity to immediately make arrangements. He ordered Zang Ba and the others, who had potential influence in Qingzhou, to attack Qingzhou and occupy Qi, Beihai, and other places to strengthen the right wing. He also ordered a reliable general who was good at organizing the army, such as General Yu Jin, to station troops on the south bank of the Yellow River to monitor Yuan's army and wait for fatigue.”
Cao Cao and Guo Jia thought carefully.
Such an arrangement was ingenious.
Cao Cao's satisfaction 200!
Guo Jia's admiration 100!
Guo Jia's contempt 50!
Guo Jia's contempt 50!
Guo Jia's contempt 50!
Humph!
And you still say you don't understand the art of war!
If you don't understand the art of war...
Not many people in the world understood the art of war!
That was clearly an excuse to refuse to be an official!
Guo Jia secretly looked down on him.
Cao Xu pretended not to know.
Cao Cao tapped the table lightly." Our army still has weaknesses and flaws.”
Guo Jia nodded and said," That's right. The rations are short, and Wan City is a weakness. Only by solving these two problems can we fight Yuan Shao with all our might."”
"Don't worry."
Cao Xu said.
The two of them were once again reassured.
"I'll make up for the lack of food and fodder. As for Wan City…" Cao Xu said.
Wan City.
The Cao family would always be in pain.
Cao Cao's fierce general Dian Wei and his eldest son Cao Ang died here.
After that, they launched several attacks in succession, but they were unable to take down Wan City.
This became Cao Cao's biggest worry. The existence of Wancheng was equivalent to opening a back door for Xuchang.
Cao Cao conquered Hebei.
If there were any changes in the southern forces…
Wancheng would become a fatal threat.
After all, it was less than 300 miles from Wancheng to Xuchang!
Cao Cao asked,"Is there a solution to the situation at Wancheng?"”
Cao Cao's expectation 500!
Guo Jia's anticipation 300!
Guo Jia had studied the situation in Wan City.
There was a countermeasure but no foolproof method.
It would be best if Young Master Ziqiu could think of a better way.
Cao Xu smiled and said," Zhang Xiu is a capricious person. He lacks an opinion of his own, so the key breakthrough lies in the people around him.”
"The people around him?" Cao Cao asked. Who is it?"
"Zhang Xiu's most trusted advisor is called Jia Xu. This person is extremely resourceful, but as far as I know, his plan is to protect himself first. Therefore, if you want to take Wancheng, it is not appropriate to attack it by force. You can surround it without attacking, bribe Jia Xu, and let him persuade Zhang Xiu to surrender. You can make nearly ten thousand elite soldiers in Wancheng surrender without spending a single soldier.”
Guo Jia's surprise 100!
Cao Cao's surprise 200!
Cao Cao was shocked.
Wan City, which had been a headache for him for years.
It could be taken down so easily?
Cao Xu: " Since there's no loss, why not give it a try?”
Guo Jia agreed." It's best to use military tactics to attack strategy. Fengxiao thinks it's worth a try!"”
Cao Cao nodded. He trusted Cao Xu very much. Since it was Cao Xu's idea, he would definitely analyze it carefully and give it priority.
As for this…
Cao Xu was certain.
Zhang Xiu would definitely surrender!
The three of them discussed for four hours.
Cao Cao was satisfied.
He felt that he had gained a lot.
The discussion was almost over.
Every time she discussed it with her precious son, she would gain a lot.
Today was no exception!
Cao Xu felt tired and planned to leave.
At this moment.
Cheers came from downstairs.
Cao Cao was displeased and asked,"Why is it so noisy?”
One of the soldiers reported,"Sikong, it's the two young masters Yang Xiu and Sima Lang who produced a masterpiece at the poetry gathering, causing heated discussion among the scholars."”
Yang Xiu is the son of Marshal Yang Biao.
Sima Lang is the eldest son of Sima Fang, the governor of Beijing.
Cao Cao said,"These two are both famous scholars. It's not strange that they can write good works. What do you think, Ziqiu?"”
Cao Cao's expectation 200!
F * ck.
He couldn't stand his cheap father's gaze.
How could Cao Xu not know what his father was thinking?
Cao Cao must be thinking,"Hmph, you dare to fight for glory with the fire of a candle? When my son appears, I'll crush you scum!"
Cao Xu: " Father knows that Zi Qiu and the Young Master of the Sima Clan have always been on bad terms. And that Yang Xiu is just a clown whose name is exaggerated. What good articles can they come up with?”
Cao Cao laughed,"Then my son should stand out and kill these people's prestige. Let them know who the number one scholar of Xuchang is!"”
Guo Jia's anticipation 100!
Diao Chan's anticipation 200!
Lu Lingqi's anticipation 100!
Cao Cao's expectation 400!
Cao Xu rolled his eyes.
However, the four of them were looking forward to it.
Cao Cao wanted to see his son act cool.
Guo Jia wanted to experience the literary talent of this close friend and young master.
As for Diao Chan and Lu Lingqi, they were filled with curiosity and anticipation.
Since ancient times, the identity of a scholar was the best weapon to pick up girls. It was very easy to be favored by young girls. They had already experienced their husband's military strategy and martial strategy, and now they were very curious about their husband's literary talent.
Sigh.
The tree wants to be quiet.
The wind did not stop.
The poetry gathering.
It was really too low-level.
Cao Xu was not interested at first.
However, everyone was looking forward to it.
He could also use the system to farm Emotional Points.
"Alright, since that's the case, I'll give it a try. However, if I don't do well, I hope father and Fengxiao won't laugh at me!”
"My two wives."
"Let's go!"
Diao Chan and Lu Lingqi quickly stood up.
They sat there for a long time.
His butt was numb.
Cao Cao said to Guo Jia," Only Zi Qiu can take the lead in our Cao family. Xun Lingjun and Military Advisor Cheng are both old. Only Feng Xiao's age is similar to Zi Qiu's, and his temperament is also very similar. You should interact more.”
Guo Jia was a smart person.
How could he not know the boss's intentions?
To be able to say these words to him.
Cao Cao had already appointed Cao Xu as his successor!
Guo Jia was also looking forward to assisting this talented young master!
