Cao Cao nodded and strode into the commander's tent.
"Fengxiao, what happened?"
He didn't waste any more words and went straight to the point.
Guo Jia hurriedly reported,
"Sikong, the frontline has reported."
"Lu Bu and Yuan Shu met yesterday.”
Hearing this, Cao Cao could not help but raise his eyebrows.
"Oh?"
"How is it?"
Guo Jia continued,
"It is said that the two of them had a good chat."
"Lu Bu wants to betroth his daughter to the young master of the Yuan Shu family.”
After saying that, Guo Jia took a deep breath and said,
"If the marriage between the two of them is successful, it means that they have already joined forces.”
"This way, Liu Bei won't be able to last long.”
"If the internal strife ends…"
"Lu Bu will be able to fight back in Xu Prefecture.”
"When the time comes…"
Guo Jia didn't finish his sentence, but his meaning was self-evident.
If the two of them joined forces, it would not be beneficial to Cao Cao at all.
Long before he took Wan City, Cao Cao had already made plans for Xu Prefecture.
However, for some reason, he had not taken action.
Now that Wan City had been taken down, their next target was Xu Prefecture.
However, Cao Cao did not expect this to happen so suddenly.
The two of them really wanted to join forces?
Cao Cao furrowed his brows, deep in thought.
He couldn't help but recall what Zhao Yang had said earlier.
Yuan Shu, who would later become emperor.
Once he became the emperor, things would become more subtle.
At that time, no matter how foolish Lu Bu was, he would not ally with him.
That was to be a live target!
……
"Wenhe, what do you think?"
Cao Cao did not say anything. Instead, he turned his head and looked at Jia Xu, who had been hiding in a corner without saying a word.
Jia Xu's expression was clearly shocked.
He had just entered Cao Cao's camp, so how could he have thought that Cao Cao would ask for his opinion on such a big matter in Xuzhou?
But now that he was a strategist, he naturally had to come up with a plan.
After thinking for a moment, Jia Xu said,"
"I believe that the alliance of Yuan Shu and Lu Bu is not too terrifying.”
"Although Yuan Shu has the most troops, Lu Bu has also occupied Xuzhou.”
"However, Lu Bu is arrogant, brave, but not resourceful. Moreover, he is not popular in Xuzhou.”
"And Yuan Shu is ultimately a muddle-headed person. The alliance between these two people is probably not that simple.”
Hearing this, Guo Jia nodded and said,
"What Mr. Wen He said is reasonable. I initially thought so too.”
"Moreover, there must be something fishy about the two of them working together. It's impossible for them to work together just for a mere Liu Bei.”
However, at this moment, Cheng Yu said,"
"Sikong, I don't think so."
"Lu Bu and Yuan Shu have quite a number of soldiers under them.”
"If we let them join forces, we won't be able to send troops to Xuzhou.”
After hearing everyone's discussion, Cao Cao narrowed his eyes and thought for a moment before saying,"
"Everyone is right, but we can't act rashly on this matter.”
"Let's continue to observe the movements of Xu Prefecture.”
Cao Cao thought about it and chose to believe Zhao Yang's words.
Although he wasn't sure about Zhao Yang's identity.
But one thing was certain.
Even though Zhao Yang couldn't predict the future, his ability to store up grain for famine was really impressive.
Therefore, his words were quite valuable.
In addition, what Guo Jia and Jia Xu said today was reasonable.
How could Yuan Shu and Lu Bu join forces for Liu Bei?
Even though Cao Cao had high hopes for Liu Bei, Liu Bei only had Xiao Pei.
It would not be able to become a big deal at all.
After a simple discussion, Cao Cao ordered everyone to disperse.
"Sikong, this Jia Xu is truly amazing.”
"When I first entered the military camp, I just received Si Kong's first question.”
"You can answer so accurately.”
"Impressive."
Cao Chun could not help but sigh.
Hearing this, Cao Cao laughed,"
"Then you're underestimating Jia Wenhe too much.”
"This person is called a Poison Warrior. Do you think it's just flattery?”
Cao Chun did not know, but Cao Cao knew Jia Xu too well.
Back then when he was crusading against Dong Zhuo, he had dealt with Jia Xu and the others quite a bit.
If not for Jia Xu's advice, Chang 'an would not be in chaos.
People like Li Jue and Guo Si would listen to his orders.
One could imagine how powerful this person was!
However, Cao Cao didn't think Cao Chun was right.
Because before Jia Xu, someone had already told him this.
It was Zhao Yang.
"Sikong, we can't send troops now.”
"Then…are we just going to stay in Yanzhou?”
Cao Chun said with an ugly expression.
He could not wait to lead his troops to attack Xuzhou.
However, he also knew that it was best to stay put.
However, to Cao Chun, who was a general, it was too cruel not to fight.
Wancheng from the south was already their limit. If they went deeper, it would be difficult to stabilize the situation in the north.
Unfortunately, the situation in the north was still not open.
What should he do?
Cao Cao stroked his beard and smiled,"
"What's wrong? Zihe, are you afraid of being idle?"
Cao Chun immediately laughed bitterly and said,
"This…We can't train every day, right?”
Cao Cao laughed and said,"
"Good, good!"
"Then I'll give you a job. You have to do it seriously.”
Hearing this, Cao Chun's eyes lit up."
"Sikong said!"
"Even if I have to go through a mountain of knives and a sea of fire, I will not shirk my responsibility!”
Cao Cao waved his hand and said,
"Zihe, you are my capable subordinate.”
"How can I let you go through a mountain of knives and a sea of fire?”
"It's not difficult."
"Help Mister Zhao find a house in Xudu City.”
Cao Cao intended to let Zhao Yang stay in his residence for two more days.
He wanted to spend some time with Qing He and Qing He to see how their relationship was.
However, he had just entered the military camp.
He saw that many officials were dissatisfied with this.
After all, Zhao Yang was still a young official who had just joined Cao Cao's camp.
How could he have such an honor?
After thinking about it, Cao Cao could only decide to find a place for Zhao Yang to stay.
As for the Sikong Residence, he could just come back during the day.
Upon hearing this, the flames in Cao Chun's eyes were instantly extinguished by a basin of cold water.
"Ah?"
"Sikong, this…can't we just find two armorers to do this?”
"Why do you want me to go?"
Cao Chun was on the verge of tears.
After all, he was a general and the commander of the Tiger Leopard Cavalry.
And now, Cao Cao was asking him to find a house for Zhao Yang?
Who could he reason with?
Cao Anmin, who was at the side, immediately held back his laughter and said,
"Zihe, you don't understand."
"Do you know how important Mister Zhao is?”
Cao Chun frowned slightly.
"Of course I know."
Cao Anmin immediately said with a serious expression,
"You know the situation in Xudu.”
"If others saw this, wouldn't they think that Si Kong had neglected Mister Zhao?”
"Furthermore, Mister Zhao has the potential to become Si Kong's son-in-law.”
Cao Chun was puzzled."
"What does this have to do with me going?”
He was completely confused now.
Why were these two talking like they were guessing riddles?
