Three Kingdoms: Salted Fish's son-in-law was overheard by Cao Cao

"Furthermore, the leaders of the two armies chatted and laughed happily among millions of troops. If it is passed on to future generations, what kind of prestige it will be."

Xu You knew that Yuan Shao was eager to get rid of the negative influence brought about by lack of courage and resourcefulness and judgment, so this meeting was like the temptation of money to gamblers, which made Yuan Shao unable to extricate himself.

"Okay, you guys are optimistic about the army formation, and I will go meet Cao Cao for a while."

After speaking, he took a few guards and went straight to Cao Cao.

Xu You stroked his beard frequently, looking worried, which made it difficult for Guo Tu to calm down.

"Ziyuan, are you worried that the lord will be tricked?"

Xu You looked at Guo Tu's hand that was stroking his beard and said with a smile, "It seems that you don't care much about your lord."

Guo Tu no longer looked at Xu You, but instead looked at Yuan Shao's leaving back.

"What's the use of talking about it now, can't you see that Cao Cao is deliberately delaying time?"

Xu You and Guo Tuben were in different camps, and this kind of mutual slander and temptation has become a daily occurrence, even in front of Yuan Shao.

At this time Yuan Shao was no longer, more unscrupulous.

"I can see that there is no difference. The lord is so happy, and he was slandered by your fellow clan Guo Jia's ten victories and ten defeats. Of course, he must find a chance to restore his reputation."

"And our army is powerful, even if Cao's army is exhausted, even if they have a plan, it will be defeated by one force."

Although Guo Tu looked down on Guo Jia of the same clan, but Guo Jia's ingenuity and arrogance Guo Tu knew very well that he would not let Cao Cao beg for his life before the battle, as if he had prepared some backhand.

But Cao Jun has about 4 to [-] people here, and our army has already broken [-]. What strategy can make Cao Jun count as ten?

Before Guo Tu could figure out the reason, Xu You said, "Is Gongze still struggling with the number of Cao's troops? Don't you look in the mirror?"

Guo Tu didn't understand what Xu You meant: "Mirror? What mirror?"

"I said that the public should take history as a mirror, but I don't know that the battle of the giant deer and the battle of breaking the boat are all about winning more with less."

Although the two had a lot of friction and sarcasm, they both had a B number in their hearts when it came to major issues.

"Besides, the morale of Cao's army is booming now, and I don't see much fatigue. I think our previous strategy of exhausting troops has been seen through by the other side. Now that both sides have their own scruples, I am afraid that today's battle will determine the direction of the future battle. "

Guo Tu didn't even think about bickering anymore: "I've always been uneasy, but I can't guess where the key to Cao Jun's battle is."

Xu You nodded in agreement with Guo Tu's words: "If it's not a direct confrontation, then it's a trick, so it's hard to guess."

When the two were talking, Yuan Shao's two young masters also came up close, and they became worried after listening for a while.

"Gentlemen, is my father in danger? Do you want to persuade him to come back?"

Xu You shook his head: "It's useless, you should make arrangements separately, so that the sergeant is ready to rescue the lord at any time."

Yuan Tan and Yuan Xi went to make arrangements separately, and Guo Tu and Xu You also ordered the surrounding soldiers to deal with it carefully.

When Yuan Shao's army arranged their formations, Yuan Shao had already arrived in front of Cao Cao's chariot, sat on his horse and looked at Cao Cao, and then at the formation of Cao's army behind Cao Cao.

The posture was very full, as if tens of thousands of soldiers were not in his eyes, but Cao Cao knew in his heart that Yuan Shao at this time was just trying to calm himself down.

"Brother Benchu, long time no see, how have you been lately?"

"Since you're here, why don't you sit down and talk about the past, maybe some things can be resolved."

Naturally, Yuan Shao would not naively think that if hundreds of thousands of soldiers confront each other, they can settle the matter with just a few sentences.

But Yuan Shao was also very curious about what Cao Cao was going to do with this Hongmen banquet today.

"Alright, I also miss Meng De very much."

After speaking, Yuan Shao got off his horse and went to sit down in front of Cao Cao.

"Meng De is here just to catch up with me?"

Cao Cao laughed loudly: "Naturally, we have to reminisce about the old days. You and I have been close since we were young. Now that we are trapped by this situation, we have no choice but to fight each other. If we can understand each other, we can naturally resolve the sword."

Yuan Shao laughed even louder after hearing this: "Meng De, Meng De, you are also a prince, how can you be so naive. What do you think this is?"

Yuan Shao said, pointing his hands at the soldiers and horses on both sides. There were many swords and guns, the horses neighed, and the sunlight reflected the cold light on the armor.

"You and I face each other with hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses, and millions of people are waiting behind you and me. Don't you think that so many expectations and consumption can be dispelled by sitting here?"

Cao Cao looked to both sides, estimating the time.

It wasn't until Yuan Shao got a little impatient that he shook his head with a wry smile.

"Although it can't be completely eliminated, it can at least reduce some losses for you and me."

"Aren't you willing to face Gongsun Zan after fighting with me here? Even though the tribes in Youzhou treat you with respect on the surface, how do you know if they will come up to bite you after seeing your weakened strength? Take a bite."

"And you have been fighting for many years. Do the people under your rule have any complaints, and the people's hearts are still stable? In addition, with this million-strong army, is there enough food and grass?"

After a series of questions were asked, Cao Cao tactically leaned back and looked at Yuan Shao.

Yuan Shao smiled contemptuously and said, "It seems that Meng De doesn't know much about the situation in the north. Those tribes have already been subdued by me, and Gongsun Zan is already at the end of his strength, and I even sent a strong army to guard him."

"As for the people's hearts and food, I have more to worry about. Although I have been fighting for years, the food is collected in the form of taxes, even more than in previous years."

"Although the national treasury is not so abundant, at least the hearts of the people and the army are still stable."

After answering Cao Cao's question, Yuan Shao began to fight back: "On Mengde's side, Yangzhou is disturbed by Liu Biao and Sun Ce."

"The border between Xuzhou and Qingzhou is not very peaceful. It seems that someone is stirring up trouble and wants to take the people to Qingzhou to migrate."

Cao Cao cursed in his heart, isn't it all your fault, you still have the nerve to say it and disgust me.

But there is still a warm face on the face: "Yangzhou belongs to your Yuan family, and I just manage it for you. As for Xuzhou..."

Cao Cao pondered for a while, as if thinking about something, and continued after a while: "As long as I push the new economic policy implemented in Yanzhou, the people will naturally return, and even drive the people in Qingzhou to migrate."

Talking about the new policy, Yuan Shao suddenly became interested: "I heard that you have a new policy, and you have established a new government office, what is it called Shang?"

Cao Cao nodded with a smile: "Commercial Office."

"As for the Chamber of Commerce, how does the Chamber of Commerce operate? In the past, there was an alliance between chambers of commerce and merchants. Why is your Chamber of Commerce so powerful, and it is so obvious to drive the economy?"

These are the core of Cao Cao's policy, how can he say it so simply, even if he wants to say something, it is cost-effective to change it.
