Guo Jia was not afraid at all that Yuan Shao could grasp Cao Jun's movements. What would happen if he did.

It is simply unrealistic for Yuan Shao to leave Xuzhou.

Xuzhou battlefield and Jizhou are also separated by Yanzhou and Qingzhou. If he dares to fight across the border, the encirclement will be almost complete. After taking Xuzhou with the front foot, he will be able to annihilate Yuan Shao's main force and swallow up Jizhou with the back foot.

It would be unrealistic for Yuan Shao to attack Yanzhou or Qingzhou.

Cao Ying controls the most elite cavalry in the world, and they come and go like the wind. As long as Zhang Wu is alive, Yuan Shao will never dare to make any move.

On the contrary, Gongsun Zan was a little confused.

If Yuan Shao becomes ruthless and takes advantage of Cao Cao's lack of time to visit the north, taking Youzhou regardless of the losses, then Guo Jia really has no good solution. I can only say a few words of silence for General Baima from afar.

Although Zhang Wu's cavalry is powerful, it can never be used to attack or defend the city.

Although the two families are in a subtle honeymoon period, their relationship is not so good that they would lend a helping hand regardless of the consequences.

Although Gongsun Zan is strong, he has four generations and three sons of the old Yuan family, and his disciples and former officials are all over the world, so his background is so rich.

"Military advisor, what should we do now?"

Guo Jia grabbed Taishi Ci's sleeve and whispered in his ear: "Ziyi will ask you to go to Xuchang for training on the grounds of physical discomfort. The prime minister will definitely agree. After you return to Xuchang, find Zhang Manzi and tell him four things." Words, if they are too late, they will change.”

Zhang Manzi has made no move so far, and Guo Jia has no choice but to send someone with weight to invite him.

Taishi Ci was startled: "Is it so important? If the military advisor had not handed the letter directly to the Prime Minister and explained the reason, he would have put the woman to death."

Hearing this, Guo Jia broke out in a cold sweat and waved his hands repeatedly: "Ziyi, don't talk nonsense, this matter must be settled. The Prime Minister's private affairs are something that you and I can interfere with. Go and call Zhang Manzi quickly, we can make a decision on this matter ourselves."

No matter how low-status Ren Na Du was, he was still Cao Cao's bedfellow, so he was the master.

However, Guo Jia did not reveal the reason, so he asked his ministers to investigate the master. Only if he was not tabooed would he see a ghost.

Does Cao Cao think that if today you dare to investigate the people around me without permission, tomorrow you should investigate me.

Only then will you really have no excuses.

Zhang Wu is different.

Zhang Wu's killing of the Du family was at most a family matter of the prime minister. When the time comes, Xuchang will have the prime minister's wife to support him.

Even if the Prime Minister is deliberately calculating, he will end up being dumb.

After all, Mrs. Du is married to Qin Yilu, so she is a shady person no matter what.

"Then just follow what the military advisor said."

Taishi Ci walked up to Cao Cao, gave Du a meaningful look, clasped his fists at Cao Cao and said, "Prime Minister, I have been feeling unwell recently and my limbs are sore. Please go back to Xuchang to rest."

Cao Cao pushed Du away and stood up with concern: "Xuchang is a long way away, why don't we ask Doctor Xiapi for diagnosis and treatment first."

"I have already looked for a doctor before, but I can't figure out the reason. I would like to go back to Xuchang and ask the miracle doctor Hua Tuo to take a look."

Cao Cao cared deeply about his beloved general and immediately agreed without going into detail. He ordered three thousand infantry soldiers, also known as Xu Chu, to protect Taishi Ci Zhouquan.

.........

Jizhou, Yecheng.

"Lord, don't hesitate. This is a God-given opportunity. If we don't send troops to Youzhou, we will become dry bones in the grave by the time Cao Ah'an recovers!" The person who made the suggestion was none other than Xu You, under Yuan Shao's tent.

He took Qin Yilu's child and was able to control Qin and Du to work carefully for him.

This action was originally used to monitor Lu Bu, the repeated villain who first surrendered to Yuan Shao.

But Lu Bu surrendered to Cao too quickly, leaving Xu You no time to react.

Unexpectedly, due to a strange combination of circumstances, the Du family was not accepted by Lu Bu, but was accepted by Cao Cao. It can be regarded as an unexpected surprise.

It's not like he never thought about ordering the Du family to murder Cao Cao, but as the prime minister, Cao Cao's surroundings were almost protected to the point where mosquitoes and flies could not survive.

With conspirators like Guo Jia and Cheng Yu by his side, poisoning was unrealistic.

What's more, Cao Ang is about to come of age. After killing Cao Cao, if the matter is exposed, Jizhou will get nothing except endless revenge from Xuchang.

So he simply made the mistake and made Du his insider to monitor Cao Cao's every move.

The judge smiled disdainfully: "My lord, don't listen to Xu You's evil words to confuse the public. Gongsun Zan has always been close to the hussar general Zhang Wu. If Jizhou sends troops to Youzhou, wouldn't it attract Zhang Wu to attack, and our army will be defeated when we are attacked before and after. The top priority is still To develop internal affairs, Jizhou is rich, and it will only take three to five years to raise 300,000 armored men before we can challenge Cao Cao. As for Gongsun Zan of Youzhou, there are foreign tribes from the north who are delaying him, so there is no need for the lord to take action himself."

"Nonsense! I had already received a message from Du Clan before. Now Cao Cao's army is trapped in Xuzhou and has no time to look north. With Zhang Wu's cavalry alone, he only needs to deploy 30,000 troops to defend the passes in various places. He will not cause harm to Jizhou.

After Yingqiu, although Xu You rescued Yuan Shao, he always regarded himself as a minister of the savior and mentioned Yuan Shao's original ugly behavior to everyone he met.

He had offended Yuan Shao to death a long time ago. Even if Yuan Shao now knew that what he said was reasonable, he was not willing to let him take credit like this. Instead, he wanted to find an opportunity to get rid of him quickly.

Seeing the flash of light in Yuan Shao's eyes, Xu You didn't notice it and was still arguing with the judge.

On the contrary, Jushou was shocked when he noticed something.

Xu You is a villain, greedy for money and power, arrogant and rude.

Ju Shou also disliked Xu You, but Xu You had no intention of betraying Yuan Shao, and all his thoughts and concerns were for Yuan Shao.

If such a person is killed rashly, everyone in the tent will be in danger, and there is no point in trying their best.

"My lord, what Xu Ziyuan said was not just words, it was justified and well-founded, it was the truth!"

Jushou did not have a small group, and he was only close to Tian Feng on weekdays. He still had a high prestige under Yuan Shao's tent.

His words were the final word.

There were no more quarrels in Yuan Shao's tent, but instead everyone looked at Jusuke in confusion.

Even Xu You, who was helped by him, was confused.

Yuan Shao was quite impatient, frowned and asked, "Oh? What's the point of discussing this? You might as well speak frankly."

"Cao Cao fought in Xuzhou, and if he won, General Highway would die. Although Highway was engaged in rebellion, he was the southern support of Jizhou. If he died, Cao Cao would definitely march north to Jizhou. At the end of the day, Jizhou had no way to retreat, so he had to fight to the death. , and Gongsun from the north is worried about external worries after his death, so he can only get rid of it early and cannot delay it."

Yuan Shao was still hesitant, but he heard the soldiers shouting from outside the main hall: "My lord, this is the edict of Emperor Xuchang."
