Just as Xu Chu was looking for Guo Yun, the Prefecture Overseer's Estate was in a deadlock.
Lu Bu was still alright, but the majority supported killing him.
Only Liu Bei's question gave Cao Cao a headache.
A seemingly harmless hypocrite who harbored evil intentions made Cao Cao feel uneasy, especially when he had the two generals Guan and Zhang under him. Both of them were difficult to defeat.
Looking around, Cao Cao knew that the Xiahou brothers, Cao Ren, Li Dian, and Xu Huang were no match for Guan Zhang.
Perhaps only Zhongkang could match one of them.
Cao Cao thought.
"Didn't the Prime Minister plan to appoint Liu Bei as Xu Prefecture's herdsman? I feel that this method is feasible. We will only grant him the right to govern the state and county. The soldiers and horses will be taken over by our own people. This way, we can eliminate future troubles. The Prime Minister will also have a reputation for cherishing talents and making good use of them.”
Cheng Yu's suggestion was not without reason, and it received the approval of several generals.
Jia Xu shook his head in opposition."Liu Bei is the orthodox Han Dynasty. He is recruiting talents everywhere. He must be harboring evil intentions. He must be aiming for the world. This person cannot be left alive."”
"My lord, it is precisely because Liu Bei is a descendant of the royal family that you cannot kill him. If you kill Liu Bei, won't you be branded as a traitor for no reason?”Xun Yu thought it through, stroked his beard and said,""Why don't we bring him back to Xuchang and give him a sinecure? This way, we can restrict him without giving others a chance to say anything and chill the hearts of the world.”
It was still unclear how capable Liu Bei was.
However, Cao Cao was itching for the two generals under him.
The three strategists expressed their own opinions, but none of them got to the point.
"There is a certain risk in using Liu Bei, but if we can get the help of the Guan and Zhang Generals, they might be a great help when we face Yuan Shao in the future…"
Guo Jia pondered for a moment and said,"If we use Liu Bei as a hostage and use the Guan and Zhang Generals, it will definitely be effective.”
"This is a good plan."
Cao Cao nodded,""But it is not a long-term solution."
"Liu Bei is a relative of the Han clan after all. If we put Xuchang under house arrest, wouldn't it give him the opportunity to form cliques?”Jia Xu retorted,"And if Guan Zhong and Zhang Yu are allowed to lead the army, there is also the risk of supporting the army
…Prime Minister, this subordinate suggests that even if he has to bear the infamy, Liu Bei cannot be left alive!"”
"Nonsense!"
"If my lord does this, who will dare to surrender to my lord in the future?”
Cao Ren was the first to be unconvinced.
"This won't do, and that won't do. What should I do?”
Cao Cao was annoyed by all the opinions and rubbed his temples,""You guys can go down first. Let me think about it!”
After the generals and civil officials were dismissed, only Xun Yu and Guo Jia remained in the Prefecture Overseer's Mansion.
"This Liu Bei, I'm afraid we can't kill him.”
Cao Cao felt helpless. After taking down Xu Prefecture, the north would become a tiger and wolf opposing each other. A battle with Yuan Shao was almost foreseeable.
Yuan Benchu had four generations and three dukes. His strength was deep and far surpassed Cao Cao's.
It was as difficult as ascending to the heavens to fight against the weak.
The only chance was to recruit soldiers and horses as soon as possible to accumulate strength.
He, Cao Cao, could not do anything that would make the people of the world disappointed.
"If that's the case, why don't you use my plan, Prime Minister? If Liu Bei can survive until the war with Yuan Shao, you can at least use Guan Zhong and Zhang Yu to deal with Yan Liang and Wen Chou..."
Guo Jia's vision was far-sighted. After Xu Prefecture was pacified, he began to analyze the situation in the north.
Yan Liang and Wen Chou were famous, and it was said that they were not weaker than Lu Bu.
Under Cao Cao's command, there was no one who was confident in victory.
"Looks like this is the only way.”
Cao Cao thought carefully and was about to make a decision.
"Prime minister, why don't you ask Guo Yun for his opinion?”
Xun Yu suddenly spoke, his eyes glancing at Guo Jia."Guo Yun's two strategies are unconstrained and have the air of a genius. Coupled with his young age, he might be able to come up with a different strategy.”
"Alright, abstruse immortal will be the first to take credit for the battle of Xu Prefecture.”
"Men, summon Guo Yun.”
"Here…"
The messenger was extremely fast. It only took him about ten minutes to go back and forth.
"Deputy, Prime Minister..."
The soldier was in a difficult position. He knelt in front of the hall and stammered.
"Why did you come back alone? Did something happen?"
Seeing this, Guo Jia quickly rushed down and asked nervously,"Hurry up and tell me!"
"Lord Guo said that it's already past 11:00. If there's anything, I'll rush to the morning tomorrow…"
Cao Cao: ???
Guo Jia: ( )~
Xun Yu: (-(infinity)-)
"I'm so angry!"
Guo Jia's face turned pale.""Prime Minister, please forgive me. I will go and capture that bastard and bring him to see you…"
He was arrogant because he was favored?
Did he think he could get away with breaking through Xuzhou?
Guo Jia cursed in his heart, his eyes peeking at Cao Cao's expression. If anything went wrong, he would immediately kneel down and beg for mercy.
Cao Cao was stunned for a full three seconds. Xun Yu, who was beside him, did not dare to breathe too loudly.
"Fengxiao, your brother is really punctual!”
"If there's nothing else, why don't we personally visit and ask for advice?”
Cao Cao seemed to be smiling, but it was hard to tell whether he was happy or angry.
Guo Jia gulped and hesitated.
"Fengxiao, are you afraid that I will blame the abstruse immortal? Xuan immortal made great contributions in the battle of Xu province, how could I punish meritorious officials?”Seeing this, Cao Cao could not help but sigh."If even you have such worries, then wouldn't the world suspect that I, Cao Cao, have no tolerance for others? How can I kill Liu Bei?"”
Hearing this, Xun Yu and Guo Jia bowed their heads and apologized.
After that, Cao Cao and Guo Jia passed through layers of barracks and arrived outside a pile of ruins. They were stunned
.
"Hahaha, brother, I didn't expect you to know about this place. In that case, I can be considered an unparalleled warrior in the current world?”
Just as Cao Cao and the other two were dumbfounded, Xu Chu's arrogant laughter came from another tent."With such a ranking, what do you think of strategists?”
"Let alone others, what is your big brother Guo Jia's ranking?!”
"Don't say you're first!"
Brother?
Brother?
The three of them looked at each other. It had only been a few days, but Xu Chu and Guo Yun had already risen to the level of brothers?
"Nonsense! This is simply nonsense!"
Just as Guo Jia was about to break in, Cao Cao stopped him."Fengxiao, your brother has a unique opinion. Don't you want to hear it?”
