Three Kingdoms: Concubine Yu Ji Lu Pheasant, I Overthrow the Han Dynasty

After hearing Cheng Yu's words, Cao Cao's frowning brows relaxed slightly.

Out of habit, Cao Cao glanced at Guo Jia and asked, "Feng Xiao, why are you in a daze?"

Among the advisers under his command, Cao Cao valued Xun Yu the most in terms of internal affairs, and Cao Cao valued Guo Jia the most in terms of strategy.

Guo Jia was in a daze, but when he heard Cao Cao's question, he immediately came to his senses: "Master Sikong, my subordinates are thinking whether our army should retreat."

"What?" Hearing Guo Jia's words, everyone was shocked.

Cao Cao hurriedly asked, "Why did Feng Xiao make such a statement?"

Guo Jia sighed slightly: "If my subordinates' expectations are correct, Yuan Tan will definitely lose when he sends troops this time."

"Moreover, my subordinates have a premonition that Yuan Tan will lose quickly."

"In this way, if our army can't rush to take Wancheng, I'm afraid Xudu will be unsafe."

Maybe it's not safe?

This sentence definitely made Cao Cao's heart "thump", and he raised it.

If something goes wrong in Xu Du, he, Cao Cao, will become the second Yuan Shu, a mouse crossing the street, and everyone shouts and beats him.

At this time, Xun You suddenly asked: "The meaning of filial piety, according to Qin Wu's record after his debut, is to quickly defeat the opponent and win."

"That's right." Guo Jia said with a serious face, "Qin Wu still stayed in Huainan when he learned that Yuan Tan was about to send troops. That's because he found a way to quickly defeat Sun Ce."

"Now that Qin Wu is raising his army to the north, it may be the beginning of Yuan Tan's rapid defeat."

Cao Cao frowned slightly: "Yuan Tan is brave and good at fighting, and under his command are Liu Bei, Chen Gong and Xin Ping, all of whom are wise men."

"Guan Yu and Yan Liang are both brave generals of the three armies, and Yuan Jun is also a master of hundreds of battles. How could he be defeated so quickly?"

Guo Jia sighed slightly: "If the subordinate's prediction is correct, Qin Wu must have said that Zang Ba was surrendered."

Zang Ba?

Those present are all wise men.

How could they not know that Zang Ba was unruly and would not easily convince others.

Tao Qian could not subdue him, and neither could Liu Bei.

Now, Yingwu has defeated Liu Bei, Lu Bu, Yuan Shu and Sun Ce successively, and it took such a short time.

Zang Ba believed that Yingwu was the master of the Ming Dynasty, and it was very possible that all the people would defect to him.

Cao Cao sighed slightly: "If Zang Ba surrenders to Qin Wu, then Yuan Tan will surely lose."

Guo Jia said again: "Lord Sikong, if Yuan Tan is defeated, Yuan Shao will definitely hate Qin Wu to the bone."

"In this way, the three-legged confrontation in the Central Plains will become possible. For the lord, it may not be a good thing."

Cao Cao frowned: "The meaning of filial piety is to let me unite with Qin Wu to fight against Yuan Shao?"

"That's right." Guo Jia said in a deep voice, "Lord Sikong's original plan was to settle Wancheng first, then occupy Huainan, and finally Xuzhou."

"In this way, Lord Sikong can use Yanzhou, Yuzhou, Xuzhou, Sili area, as well as Nanyang County and Huainan to confront Yuan Shao from north to south."

"Qin Wu broke out in the sky, first won Xuzhou, and then occupied Huainan, the edge is unstoppable."

"If my lord is not going to form an alliance with Qin Wu, I can only join forces with Yuan Shao to destroy Qin Wu first."

"And Yuan Shao's condition must be Xuzhou."

"Once Qin Wu is destroyed and Xuzhou falls into Yuan Shao's hands, I'm afraid the Lord will be completely at a disadvantage."

Cao Cao understood, and then said: "Yuan Tan was defeated, Yuan Benchu ​​must not be able to swallow this breath, and will send an army south."

"Qin Wu is allied with me, so he will fight Yuan Shao with all his strength."

"When two tigers fight, one will die and the other will be injured."

"No matter what the outcome of the battle between Yuan and Qin is, I can still reap the benefits, right?"

"Hahaha..." Guo Jia burst into laughter immediately, "Master Sikong is wise."

At this time, Xun You frowned: "Feng Xiao, although this plan is clever, but Qin Wu is also extraordinary, how can he easily believe in Lord Sikong's sincerity in forming an alliance with him?"

Cao Cao nodded and said, "Cao is also worried about this."

"According to the information, the person under Qin Wu's command who has the same name as Shang Yang's actually has a conspiracy with Shang Yang's. I'm afraid it will be difficult to deceive him with this plan."

Guo Jia smiled slightly: "If, Lord Sikong asks for an imperial decree to confer Qin Wu as Xuzhou Shepherd."

"Then, Lord Sikong will marry his beloved daughter to Qin Wu and become a son-in-law. Will Qin Wu still doubt Lord Sikong?"

It's nothing to seal Yingwu as Xuzhou Mu.

After all, even Zang Ba has surrendered, and the land of Xuzhou is under Yingwu's control.

Yingwu already has the reality of Xuzhou Mu, all that is missing is a title.

Therefore, this imperial decree is just icing on the cake, a favor of Bo Yingwu.

Of course Cao Cao would not be stingy with this edict.

However, marrying his beloved daughter to Yingwu made Cao Cao a little entangled.

Cao Cao has six daughters.

Only the eldest daughter, Cao Lin, is an adult, and the other five daughters are all minors.

Cao Lin was born by the Liu family. She and Cao Ang are half-brothers and sisters who were raised by the Ding family together.

With Ding's temper, if Cao Cao dared to marry Cao Linyuan to Xuzhou, he would probably fight him desperately.

Looking at Cao Cao's embarrassment, Guo Jia could guess what Cao Cao was thinking.

Therefore, Guo Jia smiled slightly: "This subordinate recommends someone who can persuade Mrs. Ding."

Cao Cao was taken aback, and immediately asked, "Feng Xiao, tell me, who is it?"

Guo Jia said with a smile: "Of course it is the eldest son Cao Ang."

"Ah..." Cao Cao slapped his forehead and laughed loudly, "Look at my head, I forgot Ang'er."

"Let Ang'er talk to Lin'er first, and then speak to Madam."

"If Lin'er can help from the side, then this matter will be accomplished."

"Lin'er has always wanted to marry a hero. This Qin Wu can defeat Liu Bei, Lu Bu, Yuan Shu and Sun Ce. He is definitely a hero in the world, but he is also worthy of Lin'er."

"Based on this plan, tomorrow I will send Man Chong as an envoy to Xuzhou."

Guo Jia added: "Tomorrow our army will march faster and take Wancheng quickly."

"In this way, Lord Sikong can deal with Yuan and Qin with peace of mind."

Chapter 080 Fake Surrender?

Wancheng.

Zhang Xiu's mansion.

Jia Xu brought Zhang Yi to visit.

Zhang Yi's eloquence is really good. After visiting Jia Xu, it only took more than an hour to convince Jia Xu, an old fox.

In fact, the eloquence of strategists is one aspect.

More importantly, strategists can easily grasp what the opponent's weaknesses are by observing words and expressions, as well as the content of the conversation.

Of course, it would be best if there is a lot of investigation work in the early stage.

Before Zhang Yi came, Jia Xu, the general who won the war, told him about his weaknesses, so naturally he would get twice the result with half the effort.

When Zhang Xiu heard about Jia Xu's visit, he thought it was Cao Jun's military situation, so he immediately sent someone to invite him over.

Seeing that Jia Xu brought a strange man, Zhang Xiu couldn't help being taken aback, and his face changed slightly: "Sir, who is this person? Could it be Cao Cao's emissary?"

Jia Xu cupped his hands and said, "General, let me introduce you. This is Mr. Zhang Yi, a counselor under General Qin Wu of Xuzhou."

Xuzhou?

Qin Wu?

The distance is a bit far.

Zhang Xiu didn't realize it for a while, it seemed that he had no friendship with Qin Wu, and because they were separated by Cao Cao's sphere of influence, they couldn't get along.

Zhang Yi cupped his hands and said, "Zhang Yi, I have met General Zhang."

Zhang Xiu had no choice but to return the courtesy: "You are welcome, sir, please sit down."

After the three of them were seated, Zhang Xiu asked, "I don't know if you have come from a long way, what advice do you have?"

"Don't dare, dare not." Zhang Yi cupped his hands and said, "My lord has heard of the general's reputation for a long time and wanted to form an alliance with the general, so he sent Zhang Yi here to visit the general."

Ally?

Zhang Xiu was quite surprised.

He is a petty prince, and he is still attached to Liu Biao.

Liu Biao provided him with money, food, and arms, and Zhang Xiu helped Liu Biao guard the north gate of Jingzhou.

Liu Biao used him, Cao Cao wanted to destroy him, and Yingwu was the first prince who wanted to form an alliance with him.

Of course, Zhang Xiu heard about the legend of Yingwu, and admired him.

Zhang Xiu asked lightly: "It is said that Yuan Shao sent his eldest son, Yuan Tan, to send troops south to take Xuzhou."

"General Qin can't protect himself, how can he form an alliance with me?"

Zhang Yi laughed loudly and said, "Since General Zhang thinks so, it's useless for Zhang Yi to say anything."

"How about this, how about we talk about the alliance after my lord has defeated Yuan Tan?"

It was also the first time Zhang Xiu saw such a lobbyist, and he didn't know how to respond.

Jia Xu smiled and said, "General, I think it's okay."

"General Qin defeated Liu Bei, Lu Bu, Yuan Shu, and Sun Ce successively. If he can defeat Yuan Tan again, the master of Xuzhou will naturally be a certainty."

"If this is the case, the general will form an alliance with him and contain Cao Cao left and right, so he can rest easy."

Zhang Xiu always obeyed Jia Xu's words, and was overjoyed: "It's very good."

"It's just..." Zhang Xiu suddenly thought of Cao Cao's invasion, "Cao's army is coming to attack, it's very powerful, I'm afraid..."

With that said, Zhang Xiu turned to look at Jia Xu.

Because Jia Xu just persuaded him yesterday to surrender to Cao Cao without telling Liu Biao.

Jia Xu understood, and smiled lightly: "General, this moment is also that moment."

"Before, when Xu persuaded the general to surrender to Cao Cao, it was because the general fought alone and was definitely not Cao Cao's opponent."

"Instead of breaking the city and defeating the army, it is better to surrender to Cao Cao to find a way out."

"Right now, General Qin has suddenly emerged. If Yuan Tan can be defeated, Cao Cao will definitely worry about Yanzhou's loss, and will not dare to attack Wancheng with all his strength."

"If General Qin declares to the world that he will form an alliance with the general, then Cao Cao will be afraid and dare not attack Wancheng again."

Zhang Xiu said worriedly: "Cao's army is so fierce, I'm afraid it will be difficult for Xiu to hold on..."

Zhang Yi smiled lightly: "Don't worry, General, Yi has a plan to defeat Cao Cao."

Zhang Xiu was overjoyed, and hurriedly asked: "What's the best plan, sir?"

Zhang Yi spat out two words: "Fake Surrender."

Fraud?

Jia Xu's eyes flashed suddenly, and he shouted: "It's wonderful, it's wonderful."

"General, our envoys must have arrived at Cao Jun's camp and met Cao Cao."

"If you really surrender and pretend to surrender, this plan will surely deceive Cao Cao."

Zhang Xiu's martial arts are not weak, but his strategy is really not good.

Since Jia Xu said it was feasible, Zhang Xiu naturally did not hesitate, and cupped his hands and said: "Thank you, sir, if you can defeat Cao, the alliance with General Qin will definitely happen."

Zhang Yi also cupped her hands and said with a smile, "Okay, let's make an agreement here."
