Just when Cao Pi felt that his life had fallen into darkness, Cao Cao was also preparing to return to Xuchang.
Guo Yun's plan was in line with his recent plans.
Firstly, the army really needed to rest.
Secondly, after the autumn harvest, the border of Yanzhou would have to consider the invasion of the alien races.
This was something that could not be avoided every year.
Be it the Qiang Hu or the Fusang Ronin, they were not strong enemies. However, the troublesome thing was that the border was too long. Every time winter came, these bastards would secretly come over to burn, kill, and plunder. Then, they would leave. There was nothing they could do.
Yanzhou and Xuzhou were fine, but Youzhou would be in even more trouble.
This was also the reason why Yuan Shao left 200,000 soldiers to guard Youzhou.
Cao Cao admired Yuan Shao for this.
As for what Cao Ren had reported in the court, it was all to fool Guan Yu and not the truth.
On the last day of the army's departure, Bian Xi, who had stayed behind in Xuzhou, sent an urgent report from Qingzhou.
"Report!"
"General Bian Xi of Xuzhou has an urgent report.”
In the camp, Cao Cao, Xun Yu, Xun You, Guo Jia, and Guo Yun were all present.
"Liu Bei has gathered the Qingzhou troops and established himself in Qingzhou!”
"As expected of someone who can make Xuan Immortals pay attention to him.”
Xun You sighed, his eyes filled with worry."Liu Bei is different from Yuan Shao's two sons. Although he does not have a military advisor to assist him, he has a fierce general like Zhang Fei under his command. Now that he has gathered 200,000 soldiers in Qingzhou, he cannot be underestimated.”
Hearing this, the few of them frowned.
Previously, Liu Bei had been running for his life. On one hand, he did not have a strategist who could control the situation, and on the other hand, he did not have any soldiers.
Now that the 200,000 soldiers of Qingzhou had gathered under their command, the nature was completely different.
One must know that Cao Cao had only expanded to 160,000 mobile soldiers after taking in Zhang He's troops and captives. Even if he included the guards of the four provinces, he barely had 234,000.
However, Liu Bei had just gotten 200,000 soldiers by sitting idly by. How could Cao Cao not be furious?
"If the two sons of Liu Bei and Yuan Shao join forces, their threat will be no less than Yuan Shao's!”"This subordinate suggests that we take advantage of Liu Bei's unstable position to directly march east and take down Qingzhou!" Jia Xu said decisively.”
"Wenhe, don't be anxious."
When Xun You saw the end of the report, his expression changed and he looked at Guo Yun with a strange expression.
"Why are you looking at me?"
"I don't mind attacking Qingzhou."”
"Liu Bei sent a message to Bian Xi, congratulating Xuan Xian on winning such a great victory for the lord…"
Xun You paused for a moment.
There was nothing wrong with that.
It was business.
Wasn't this the usual method used by the various dukes?
Guo Yun was puzzled. Why do you look like a eunuch who went to a brothel?
"What's there to stutter about!”
Xun Yu looked displeased and snatched the letter from Xun You's hand. Then, his expression turned strange as he looked at Guo Yun in astonishment."Xuan Xian, how did you force Liu Bei back in Xu Prefecture?”
"I took a sugar cane and cut it in front of him. That's all.”
"?"
Xun Yu: "??"
Cao Cao: "???"
Guo Jia: "??!"
"Really peeling sugar cane?!"
"Really? Can you eat sugar cane without peeling it?”
Xun Yu:| Liu
Bei invited Xuan Xian to Qingzhou for a gathering, hoping that Xuan Xian could give him a clear path based on the current situation.”
"He also said that if Mystic Immortal is willing, Liu Bei is willing to lead an army of 200,000 to submit!”
Xun Yu read out the message on the emergency report with a stiff face.
"Hahahaha, what a good plan!”
Before Guo Yun could speak, Cao Cao laughed angrily,"Liu Bei, you idiot. You want to use this counter-plot to murder a Mystic Immortal? It's simply wishful thinking. Pass down the order. The army will move out of Xuzhou and capture Qingzhou before the autumn harvest. I must hang this Liu Xuande by the sea to dry!”
Hearing Cao Cao's voice, everyone present knew that he was really angry.
The reason he was furious was not because Liu Bei had monopolized Qingzhou, nor was it because Yuan Shao's 200,000-strong army had been taken in.
Liu Bei was trying to figure out his thoughts and wanted to use his suspicious personality to kill Guo Yun.
Cao Cao could not accept this.
If it wasn't Guo Yun, if it was anyone else, he might have already become suspicious.
Liu Bei, I really underestimated you!
"Lord, please wait.
Before the other strategists could speak, Guo Yun spoke first,""Qingzhou is backed by the sea, and in front of it is a high mountain range. It is not suitable for cavalry to fight. In addition, the army is currently exhausted. If we rashly attack Qingzhou, we will probably suffer heavy losses!”
"Didn't you say that you have no objections just now?”
Hearing this, Cao Cao raised an eyebrow.
Guo Yun Cancan smiled and said,"Then, I definitely have no objections to Lord Jia attacking Qingzhou. However, my lord is fighting. As the military counselor under my lord's command, I can at least advise him at the risk of death!"”
Cao
Cao knew that Guo Yun had many tricks up his sleeve, so he calmed down and asked,""Then tell me, what should we do?”
"Let's proceed according to the original plan."
Guo Yun thought for a moment and said,"Liu Bei asked me to point him in the right direction. I'll just go."”
"Nonsense!"
"200,000 soldiers!"
"If Liu Bei has evil intentions, you will die even if the Overlord reincarnates!”
Cao Cao immediately refused,""Don't say that the Overlord can't do anything to you. I won't agree to it.”
Guo Yun nodded and spoke nonsense with a straight face
