Who is not Cao Cao?

Chapter 7

The next day, He Yan was still sleeping soundly in the guest room, but Cao Cao had already called his staff to discuss the matter together.

Xun Yu, Xun You, Guo Jia, Cheng Yu and other well-known counselors from later generations gathered together and began to discuss ways to break the situation.

Guo Jia was the first to discover the difference between Cao Cao.

A few days ago, Cao Cao had a sad face, especially when Chen Lin finished writing the essay and scolding Cao Cao, Cao Cao's face was almost uglier than the stones in the cesspit.

But today Cao Cao looked brisk, and even thought about letting the musicians play music beside him.

"Is there any happy event for my lord?"

Guo Jia asked, "Could it be that something happened to Yuan Shao?"

Cao Cao shook his head: "It has nothing to do with Yuan Shao, it's a happy event in my house!"

When many counselors heard this, they thought it was the birth of a son in Cao Cao's mansion, and immediately congratulated Cao Cao.

"Wrong, wrong."

Cao Cao waved his hand: "Last year, I led the army abroad for a whole year, conquered east and west, and beheaded Suigu in Hanoi. How could I have time to have sex with my wives? If I had children at this time, wouldn't it be a happy event turned into a bad one?"

Many counselors also smiled.

Xun Yu came up to him and asked, "Then what is the happy event that Sikong said?"

"I have the talent of a unicorn!"

Cao Cao laughed loudly, and told everyone about He Yan's analysis of the situation yesterday as if showing off.

When it was over, Cao Cao still didn't forget to scold everyone: "You are all great talents, but you can't see clearly like a baby. You really were scared out of your nerve by Yuan Shao."

After listening to Cao Cao's words, everyone was astonished, especially Guo Jia showed a look of shock.

Because what He Yan said coincided with most of what he planned!

Especially in the views of Sun Ce, Liu Bei and Yuan Shao, there is no difference at all!
Now most of Cao Cao's counselors hope that Cao Cao will focus on Yuan Shao in the north, and leave Liu Bei alone.

Only Cao Cao and Guo Jia agreed that Liu Bei was a serious problem and should be eradicated as soon as possible!

"The adopted son of Sikong actually has such insight!"

Guo Jia suddenly had the urge to meet He Yan immediately, and it was the kind of chatting in bed for at least three days and three nights!
One of Xun You and Cheng Yu had a rigid expression, while the other had a cold expression, but it was also He Yan who showed an unexpected expression at this time.

The big man's courtesan Xun Yu clapped his hands and cheered: "I never thought that there is such a genius in Sikong's residence, no wonder Sikong is so happy!"

"Then I don't know what Sikong means?"

Cao Cao drew out his long sword and slashed at the corner of the table: "Of course we should get rid of Liu Bei first!"

"But……"

At this time Xun Yu asked a question: "What if Yuan Shao took the opportunity to cross the river and go straight to Xuchang?"

Yuan Shao is currently stationed in Hebei, only a few days away from Liyang.

If Yuan Shao was stationed in Liyang, he could easily go south to attack Baima or Yanjin, thereby gaining a stronghold on the south bank of the Dahe River and transporting the army from Hebei to Henan.

At that time, if Cao Cao lost Dahe Tianxian, there would really be no room for turning defeat into victory.

Guo Jia also nodded frequently after hearing this.

This is also what worries him the most.

It is also the point that others are most worried about.

After all, Yuan Shao in the north is the real enemy. It would be too uneconomical to let Yuan Shao seize the opportunity for Liu Bei.

"Everyone!"

Cao Cao no longer struggled, but stood up and raised his arms high and shouted: "How can there be a perfect strategy in this world? How can there be an eternal winner?"

"If Liu Bei, who has fled to Xuzhou, is made bigger here all the time, then we really have no way out!"

"Besides..."

Cao Cao said solemnly: "I know Yuan Benchu! Although he has the spirit of a hero, he is indecisive, lenient on the outside and taboo on the inside, looking forward and backward, and can't be decisive!"

"If our army can quickly defeat Liu Bei and return to Guandu while Yuan Benchu ​​is still hesitating, then the crisis will naturally be resolved!"

Don't look at Cao Cao's appearance of winning the army at the moment, but in fact he has no idea in his heart.

The so-called toughness, to put it bluntly, is a desperate gamble.

He wants to bet that he can defeat Liu Bei in a short time!
He wants to bet that Yuan Shao will not take advantage of this time to go south!
He wants to bet even more, the final winner is himself!

If you win the bet, there will be no rivals in the world.

If you lose the bet, it will be nothing more than death, and you will end up like Dong Zhuo!

Guo Jia looked at Cao Cao's posture, and his previously vacillating mind settled down.

He cupped his hands and begged for Cao Cao's order: "I would like to go out with Sikong to attack Liu Bei!"

Although Xun Yu and Xun You were silent, their eyes showed firmness, and they planned to follow Cao Cao all the way to the dark!
"good!"

Cao Cao raised his wine glass and toasted everyone: "If I, Cao Mengde, can survive this calamity, I will definitely not let you down!"

All the ministers should raise their glasses together and drink the wine in the cup in one gulp.

"Wish to share weal and woe with Sikong!"

Cao Cao looked at everyone happily, and sighed that the morale was available!
"My lord, Guo Jia has one more thing I hope the lord can agree to."

"Feng Xiao can speak out."

"I want to meet Mr. He Yan and Mr. He."

Cao Cao didn't hesitate at all: "Well, I'll let him visit your house in a while!"

In Cao Cao's mind, Guo Jia is Qi Zuo, and it would be great if he could bring He Yan more.After all, He Yan has revealed the potential of a top strategist. If he can learn some skills from Guo Jia, it will be beneficial to the Cao family.

"My lord, how can there be any reason to ask others to visit when you want to visit them? I'd better go there in person."

Hearing that Guo Jia insisted on this, Cao Cao, who was quite fond of him, did not refuse, but only said to let Guo Jia figure it out.

Cao Cao's meeting with them all talked about the deployment before the war, and He Yancai woke up from his sleep.

"The things in this room can be hard!"

The quilts in his room are all made of silk brocade, extremely soft to sleep on, how can it be as hard as a stone in this guest room?
After complaining, looking at the scene of the sunshine outside, He Yan guessed that Cao Cao should have gone to work, so he yawned and wanted to go back to catch up on returning to the cage.

When he arrived near his home, he confirmed that Xu Chu's iron tower-like figure was not there, and then He Yan walked back to his house with the hustle and bustle of death like the wind that often accompanied me.

"He Yan!"

The familiar cry made He Yan's scalp tingle, and he didn't dare to delay for a moment, so he immediately speeded up and wanted to go back to the house.

"He Yan! He Yan! Wait for me!"

The voice behind was getting more and more anxious, but He Yan completely ignored it.

"Ouch!"

There was a sound of a heavy object falling, and He Yan stopped and sighed, and looked back at Cao Jie who was lying on the ground with some helplessness: "You are so grown-up, you can fall even when you walk?"

Cao Jie was very aggrieved, but when he saw He Yan accusing her, he burst into tears with a loud "wow"!
