Abnormal Three Kingdoms

Chapter 226

"My lord, have you noticed that there are more and more people with supernatural power recently?" Guo Jia didn't answer, but asked Cao Cao a question instead.

Cao Cao nodded, indeed, but so what.

"There is a saying in Chu Nan's recruitment order that is quite good. There is no useless divine power in the world, only useless divine power!" Guo Jia looked at Cao Cao and said with a smile: "I think about it, the most important sentence of Chu Nan's recruitment order It's also here, maybe he didn't expect to be able to recruit those top divine power users from the very beginning."

If you don't recruit the top, then you will focus on those divine power users with average abilities?
Cao Cao frowned slightly when he heard the words, these people with supernatural power are a little stronger than ordinary people, it is a waste to be a soldier, but that little supernatural power is not enough to be a general, what is the use of these people?
This is actually the status quo of many people with supernatural power. They have things but not many things. It is not enough to use supernatural power to achieve a class transition, but they are unwilling to let them return to the lives of ordinary people.

It's not just Cao Cao's doubts. Chu Nan's recruitment list has confused many people, including many people in Xuzhou.

"Want to learn from Lord Mengchang?" Cao Cao snorted and laughed.

In the past, in order to strengthen himself, Mr. Mengchang never refused talents, and there were three thousand diners under his door.

Guo Jia nodded and said: "At present, this is the only explanation."

Otherwise, no one would know what is the use of recruiting so many people for Chu Nan to set up a hall of strange people?

Cao Cao nodded and didn't talk about it anymore. Now that the two counselors are here, Cao Cao also began to express his frustration, and asked the two to stay for lunch: "After the battle of Shouchun, I wanted to wait for an opportunity. Let's discuss Nanyang again, but Zhang Xiu and Lv Bu seem to have an alliance, every time he wants to go to the army, Zhang Liao will perform in the Xiaopei army, and send cavalry to patrol nearby, so as to teach Gu not to dare to act rashly, what can I do?"

Because of this in the second half of last year, basically nothing was done. Cao Cao is now sure that Chu Nan participated in the battle of Nanyang, and formed an alliance with Zhang Xiu at the beginning.

A battle with Lu Bu is imperative, but with Lu Bu's current situation, once the two sides start a war, it will be difficult to decide the outcome in a short period of time. If the rear is unstable at this time, Cao Cao's expedition may fall short, or even be beaten back by Lu Bu.

"Zhang Xiu's alliance with Lu Bu is the last thing I want to see." Cheng Yu sighed.

Cao Cao thought deeply and said, "Lü Bu, I don't know when I started to learn the art of connecting horizontally."

Cao Cao occupies the Central Plains. Although the land is fertile and the population is sufficient, it is also the land of the Four Wars. What he fears most is that the princes around him will join forces. Lv Bu and Zhang Xiu would probably come to attack immediately.

Being so stalemate, it is difficult to break the situation.

After a long time, the other princes gradually grew stronger, especially once Yuan Shao wiped out Gongsun Zan and dominated the land of the four states, he might go south. How would Cao Cao, who was pinned down by Lu Bu and Zhang Xiu and had been unable to exert any force, contend against him? ?

"My lord, it's not difficult to break the technique of connecting horizontally, but combining vertically." Guo Jia laughed.

"He Zong?" Cao Cao looked at Guo Jia when he heard the words.

"What my lord is worried about now is Lu Bu. Although Zhang Xiu is a threat, it is not a serious problem. If we can make him compete with Liu Biao, we will be able to defeat Lu Bu's tricks!" Guo Jia laughed.

"However, Liu Biao and Zhang Xiu are each other's front and back, and both of them have trade relations with Lv Bu. It would be extremely difficult for them to compete with each other." Cao Cao sighed.

"My lord, forgot? Nanyang is Zhang Xiu's Nanyang, but Jingzhou may not be Liu Biao's Jingzhou!" Guo Jia looked at Cao Cao and laughed.

Cao Cao was startled for a moment, then suddenly realized, looked at Guo Jia and said with a smile: "What Feng Xiao said is true, haha!"

The problem that had been troubling Cao Cao was instantly eliminated, and Cao Cao couldn't help laughing heartily.

Nanyang was brought down by Zhang Xiu's uncle and nephew with a knife and a gun. He has a strong control over Nanyang. At least in terms of military power, Zhang Xiu has the absolute right to speak.

But when Liu Biao rode into Xiangyang, it sounded really powerful. However, the process of Liu Biao's conquest of Jingzhou was almost all won by the Jingxiang gentry, so Liu Biao had to co-govern Jingzhou with the gentry. , and the current situation in Jingzhou is actually controlled by the gentry.

Liu Biao can't say that he has no right to speak, but many things cannot be completely in accordance with Liu Biao's intentions. He has to make compromises with scholars.

So if you want Liu Biao to help contain Zhang Xiu, you don't necessarily need Liu Biao's consent.

Cao Cao and Cai Mao were good friends in the past. Many famous scholars in Jingzhou came from Yingchuan.

Cheng Yu hesitated and said: "Lv Bu facilitated the alliance of the three families with his own interests, but now if he wants to break the alliance, Jingxiang may not agree."

At the beginning, it was easy for Chu Nan to promote Zhang Xiu's alliance, but the alliance with Jingzhou was based on real interests. Using troops against Lu Bu would touch the interests of many people. Don't look at the fierceness of scholars who clamored to attack Lu Bu some time ago. But when the real interests are related, it may not be true.

After all, no matter how cruel Lv Bu is, he is still tyrannical. In the eyes of many people, Lv Bu has only this little power, and he will lose sooner or later. Although he is not angry with his attitude towards scholars, in this life, Lv Bu probably has no chance to control them. And why be afraid?
"The two Cai and Kuai families are willing to help each other, and this matter can be accomplished. It is just to let them restrain Zhang Xiu, and not directly engage Lu Bu." Guo Jia said with a smile: "There is no need to formally negotiate with Liu Biao, just ask the Cai family With a slight adjustment in the deployment of troops, that Zhang Xiu will not dare to move rashly!"

"It's true that I haven't contacted Degui for a long time. It just so happens, who would like to wait for me to go to Jingzhou?" Cao Cao nodded. The Cai family and the Kuai family control most of Jingzhou's military affairs. If these two families can agree, it will be enough to restrain Zhang Xiu .

Lu Bu's foundation is now more stable, and the longer the time drags on, the more difficult it will be to eradicate Lu Bu, and Cao Cao is now more urgent about Lu Bu.

When Guo Jia heard this, she leaned back, a sickly blush appeared on her somewhat pale face, she coughed a few times, and even coughed up blood.

Cao Cao: "..."

Cheng Yu sighed, and bowed to Cao Cao, "Yu is willing to serve the Lord."

"Go Zhongde, I'm relieved to be alone." Cao Cao immediately wrote a bamboo slip to reminisce about the old days.It was Cheng Yu who really convinced Cai Mao and Kuai Yue.

"It's not too late, let's leave now." After Cheng Yu took the letter, he stood up and said goodbye to Cao Cao.

"Be careful, Zhongde. I'll ask Xu Ding to protect you!" Cao Cao nodded. The road was not very peaceful, and he had to pass through Zhangxiu's territory. Naturally, it was impossible for Cheng Yu to go alone. Xu Ding was Xu Chu's elder brother. Although he was not as brave as Xu Chu, But it's not weak, it's enough to be an accompanying guard to guard against some stupid thieves.

"Thank you, my lord!" Cheng Yu bowed, turned and left to prepare for the trip.

"He's gone." After watching Cheng Yu leave, Cao Cao turned his head and glanced at the half-dead Guo Jia.

"Cough~" Guo Jia straightened up silently, took a sip of wine, his sickly pale face returned to normal color at this moment, and grinned at Cao Cao: "Jia really feels unwell."

Cao Cao ignored him, sat down on his knees again, looked at the direction Cheng Yu was leaving and wondered: "Feng Xiao, do you think this crusade against Xuzhou will be successful?"

"My lord, why do you ask such a question? Could it be that you have forgotten how embarrassed Lu Bu was when he escaped in the past?" Guo Jia looked at Cao Cao with a surprised face.

"Feng Xiao, don't say that you didn't realize that Lu Bu is quite different from the past!" Cao Cao glanced at Guo Jia and sighed.

different?A little indeed.

Become a little unscrupulous, a little shameless.

If it were Lu Bu before, if he wanted to fight Guangling, he would never give the Chen family any hats, just hit him directly, where is all the nonsense?

But Guo Jia is very clear that it is very important for Lu Bu to hold this hat. One is that the hearts of the Chen family's subordinates will be shaken by this, and the other cannot be condemned by the outside world. In the end, Lu Bu's internal attitude towards the Chen family will also change. Very uniform.

On the contrary, the Chen family's own voice became less important!
After that, Lu Bu's operation became even more interesting. Under the banner of fighting Yuan Shu, he occupied Yuan Shu's empty rear first, and then when Cao Cao beat Yuan Shu almost, he took advantage of the situation to destroy Yuan Shu and took Yuan Shu's city.

In the battle against Yuan Shu, it might not be Cao Cao who gained the most benefits, but Lu Bu, who not only captured the land of Xuzhou, but also controlled Jianghuai in his hands, with a deep land!

If these methods are all Lu Bu's intentions, it means that Lu Bu is no longer a simple martial artist, but is beginning to move closer to a qualified hero.

Thinking about Lv Bu's terrifying fighting power alone, if combined with a hero's wrist, such Lv Bu is a bit intimidating.

"If my lord doesn't want to fight, there is another way." Guo Jia laughed.

"Oh?" Cao Cao looked at Guo Jia.

"Comfort." Guo Jiasi said: "Money moves his heart, beauty wears away his aspirations, and power overwhelms his will. The lord will give up Lu Bu first and fight in all directions. When the world is unified, he will use all the power of the world to attack. Lu Bu, why worry about Lu Bu being undefeated?"

"If it was Lu Bu in the past, it might be useful, but now..." Cao Cao frowned and looked at Guo Jia. This trick might not work for Lu Bu now.

"My lord, you might as well try it. Even if it doesn't work, it can also dispel Lu Bu's vigilance. When our army sends troops, we can surprise him!" Guo Jia said with a smile: "Besides, we can also test whether Lu Bu is really a hero. Heart!"

Although various signs have shown that Lu Bu is not what he used to be, Guo Jia still can't accept that Lu Bu's mentality has changed so much in such a short period of time.

This is not in line with common sense, what is it?Did you suddenly realize it?

Cao Cao also felt reasonable when he heard the words, he still liked the simple and kind Lu Bu in the past, but he doesn't like the current Lu Bu, he wants to call that Lu Bu back.

"According to what Feng Xiao said, besides..." Cao Cao looked at Guo Jia and said, "Feng Xiao should pay more attention to the Sima family."

Maybe the biggest enemy in the future will not be the princes of the world, but will come from outside the sky, so you must have a plan in advance.

"Here!"
