Chapter 182 The Yellow Turban Surrenders Cao Cao
Guo Jia heard the words, took a sip of wine, looked outside the door, a touch of excitement appeared on his frivolous and proud face, and said: "General, what time is it?"

Cao Cao looked outside and said, "June, the summer harvest is coming soon."

Guo Jia wiped his mouth with his sleeve, and said, "It's the time when you're out of luck."

Cao Cao sat upright, with a puzzled look on his face, and said, "What does Fengxiao mean by that?"

Seeing this, Guo Jia became more serious, looked at Cao Cao, and said, "General, the Yellow Turban Army went from Qingzhou to Jizhou, Yanzhou, and Xuzhou. Of course, it is because of Zhu Shijun's powerful offensive, but it is not always the case."

Cao Cao didn't speak, but looked serious.

Guo Jia didn't hold back any more, and said: "The Yellow Turban Army often engulfs tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, or even millions of people, including old and weak, women and children. They don't do production, but live by looting. Qingzhou has been looting for many years, and it has long been abandoned. The Yellow Turban Army could not loot food, so they had to find another way out."

A look of amazement flashed across Cao Cao's eyes, and he nodded slightly.

Guo Jia saw that Cao Cao didn't ask any further questions, so he took a sip of wine again and said, "The envoy Zhu has been suppressing the bandits in Qingzhou for more than a year according to his order. With his ability, it's not that he can't suppress the bandits, but he can't."

Cao Cao frowned and said, "Why?"

Cao Cao still has self-knowledge. His current ability and qualifications are more than a dozen blocks behind Zhu Jun. Even Zhu Jun can't beat the Yellow Turban Army. Isn't he coming here for nothing?
Guo Jiadao: "The Yellow Turban Army in Qingzhou is as high as several million. Except for a small number of people who entered Jizhou, Yanzhou, and Xuzhou last year, most of them were blocked in Qingzhou by Zhu Shijun. There are at least 200 million. With so many mouths, even if Zhu Shijun After defeating them, what can we do next?"

Cao Cao's expression froze, his long and narrow eyes widened, and he unconsciously took a deep breath.

How to arrange the millions of Yellow Turbans?The money and food needed will be immeasurable!Improper placement, the Yellow Turban Army will inevitably rise again!
But in an instant, Cao Cao looked at Guo Jia and said, "What is Fengxiao's gift for me?"

Guo Jia picked up the jug, took a sip, felt comfortable all over, and said with a smile: "As I said just now, it is the time when the yellow scarves are out of reach. It is not easy for the Yellow Turban Army to survive the winter. Now is the most impoverished time. For the summer harvest, as long as they don’t give them the opportunity to plunder the summer grain, it’s easy to lure tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands, of the Yellow Turban army to surrender with money and grain. The Yellow Turban army is mostly young and strong, and they have battle experience. After the generals are recruited, they can get 10 Thousands of people, put down the chaos in Qingzhou, within a year!"

Hearing this, Cao Cao's breathing became rapid, his long and narrow eyes narrowed, as if there were electric lights beating.

If he pacifies Qingzhou, he will be crowned prince!
But Cao Cao calmed down quickly, looked at Guo Jia and said, "Where do you get the money and food from?"

If you want to appease tens of thousands or even tens of thousands of people, you need a lot of money and food, and it is not temporary, otherwise the rebellion will be more serious.

Guo Jia drank the wine and said: "I said just now that the green and yellow are not harvested, isn't it just the summer harvest? They are farmers, and they will harvest a wave from the two counties of Beihai and Donglai, which will be enough to last until the autumn harvest. Then the general can farm, counting 10 People farm the fields, and the food they produce may even be jealous of the imperial court."

Cao Cao sat up straight, his eyes flashed with a tiger's light, the corners of his face twitched in excitement, his fists were clenched tightly, and his heart was surging like a tide.

Guo Jia drew a clear route for him, and this route will greatly satisfy his ambition of 'achievement'!
"What should I do?" Cao Cao regained his composure in just a moment, took a sip of the jug, and said with a smile.

Guo Jia admired Cao Cao's self-control ability, and said while reclining: "The general's previous strategy was fine, it was nothing more than a sudden encounter."

Cao Cao nodded and said with a smile, "I plan to attack everywhere."

Guo Jia blurted out: "Never stop day and night."

After finishing speaking, he felt a little regretful, and turned to look at Cao Cao.

Cao Cao didn't seem to be surprised, he laughed and said: "What Feng Xiao said is exactly what I want. I have ordered Miao to investigate, and I will do it tonight."

Guo Jia didn't speak this time. He drank leisurely, glanced at Cao Cao, and still had something to say in his heart.

Cao Cao drank, followed Guo Jia's gaze and looked out the door, his heart was full of emotions, and his face was full of pride.

that night.

Cao Cao attacked in three directions and launched a night attack on the Yellow Turban Army near Zhuxu County.

I don't know if he never encountered a night attack, or he despised Cao Cao. The village of 1 people was smashed to pieces, and more than [-] people were beheaded.

Cao Cao didn't want any prisoners, and forcibly drove the Yellow Turban army away.

Cao Cao didn't stop, and sent troops directly to Anqiu the next day, pretending to attack, and did not actually attack after a whole day.

It was another night attack that night, and this time the Yellow Turban Army was prepared. Cao Cao withdrew as soon as he found out, and then walked around the city with drums beating like thunder.

For five days in a row, the Yellow Turban Army fled without fighting.

In mid-June, Cao Cao was so powerful that he directly attacked Chang'an.

It is still the old strategy, feigning attacks day and night, and constantly exhausting the enemy.

Cao Cao was riding a horse, looking at the small city of Chang'an, stroking his beard with a complacent expression.

Cao Ren stood behind him and said, "General, there are more than [-] people in this small county. I'm afraid it's not easy to break through."

More than [-] people guard the city, even if the city is not big, it will not be so easy to take it if they try their best to defend it.

What's more, in Cao Cao's plan, he will not forcibly attack the city - he wants people, not unnecessary fighting!

Cao Cao looked back and said, "Where did Feng Xiao go?"

Cao Rendao: "The military division finished his drink, and he was snarky, so he brought Miaocai to look for him himself."

With Xia Houyuan around, Cao Cao wasn't worried, and said, "Keep an eye on the four gates, we can't let them run away silently."

"Don't worry, I've made all the arrangements," Cao Ren said.

Cao Cao hummed, holding the saber in his hand, and turning around quietly - he was a little impatient.

Xiahouyuan, Xiahoudun, and Cao Ren all followed Cao Cao many years ago, belonging to relatives and hard-core brothers.

In the early morning, when Guo Jiacai and Xiahouyuan came back, Cao Cao came out of Xiahoudun's room, greeted him, and asked curiously, "Fengxiao, Miaocai, where are you going?"

Xia Houyuan looked at Guo Jia, hesitant to speak.

Guo Jia was drinking and said with a smile: "I asked Miaocai to send letters to the Yellow Turban Army in Beihai and Donglai."

Cao Cao was taken aback, and said, "Send a letter? What letter?"

Xia Houyuan hurriedly said: "Meng De, the military division plans to attract all the Yellow Turbans from all over the place."

Cao Cao's expression was slightly shaken, and he said, "How do you attract?"

He knew Guo Jia's strategy. Originally, he hoped to keep driving the Yellow Turban Army eastward, so that the Yellow Turban Army would gather, and then it would be determined by a battle.

Xia Houyuan said: "The military adviser asked me to pretend to be the Yellow Turban Army, and sent people to send letters to the Yellow Turban Army everywhere, saying that we had brought hundreds of thousands of money and food. In addition, the military adviser asked me to send people to collect all the farmlands around. Grab it, or set it on fire."

Cao Cao immediately understood, his expression was a bit obscure, he turned to look at Guo Jia, and said, "Feng Xiao, I'm afraid there will be 10 people here, are you sure?"

Guo Jia drank his wine, smiled calmly, and said, "Don't worry, let's see how many people are here."

Seeing him like this, Cao Cao knew that he had a plan, so he smiled even more, and said, "Let's go, Yuan Rang has recovered a lot, let's drink with him today."

The crowd naturally had no objection, and entered Xiahou Dun's ward together with Cao Cao.

The next day, after washing, a group of people got together to discuss the war.

Xiahou Dun was wrapped tightly, and his face was still a little pale. He said: "Meng De, I think there are still three missing one, and they are all surrounded. Instead, they can eat and sleep in peace."

Cao Cao ate the cake and said, "The main reason is that they will leak the news."

Xiahou Dun glanced at Guo Jia, and nodded knowingly.

Although they all trusted Guo Jia, they were deeply suspicious of Guo Jia's scheme this time.

In the huge Qingzhou, there are millions of Yellow Turbans. Can they really lure hundreds of thousands of people to surrender?
Xiahou Dun didn't even dare to think about it!

"General, a letter has been sent from Chang'an City." A soldier came to the door and said.

Cao Cao, Guo Jia and the others looked at each other, and when Cao Ren took it, Cao Cao opened it and read it, with a strange expression on his face, and handed the letter to Guo Jia.

One of Guo Jia's hands is chopsticks and the other is a jug. After hesitating for a moment, he put down the chopsticks, took the letter, glanced at it, and couldn't help laughing: "General Huicheng used to destroy the altar in Jinan. The same, if you seem to know, but now you are even more confused. The Han Dynasty is over, and the Huang family should be established. The great fortune of heaven cannot be preserved by the ability of the king. This is to recruit generals?"

Xiahoudun, Xiahouyuan, Cao Ren and others were startled at the same time, they grabbed the letter one after another to watch, they couldn't help looking at each other.

This Yellow Turban Army really wrote to Cao Cao to recruit them! ?
Cao Cao ate the cake in his hand, clapped his hands, got up and said, "Don't worry, continue to attack the city."

Xiahoudun, Xiahouyuan, and Cao Ren got up after them, gearing up to go out.

It's not really a siege, but it's more real than a siege.

The [-]-strong army was so powerful that Chang'an County panicked for a while.

Three days in a row, Cao Cao watched from a distance, and he could see the haggard faces of the Yellow Turban soldiers on the top of the city.

Xia Houyuan came galloping from a distance, came to Cao Cao, and said happily: "Meng De, the good news, the Yellow Turbans are here, they will arrive in a day or two at most, the delay is very long, there is no end in sight, there may be 10,000+ people!"

The Yellow Turban Army is not an army, but engulfs countless people, including the old and the weak, women and children. Therefore, a young man often brings a large family with him.

10,000+ people, young and old may be less than [-]!
Cao Cao stroked his beard and smiled, "Withdraw the troops!"

The sound of gold ringing sounded, and Cao Jun, who was feigning an attack, receded like a tide.

When Cao Cao returned to Daying, he couldn't wait to say to Guo Jia, "Feng Xiao, as you expected, they are all here!"

Guo Jia was drinking and playing chess with himself without raising his head.

Cao Cao was not in a hurry, so he sat down and poured wine.

Perhaps infected by Guo Jia, Cao Cao has had some good wine recently.

For the next two days, Cao Cao didn't make any moves, and kept a close eye on the Yellow Turban Army coming from Donglai County.

night.

Cao Cao, Guo Jia, Xia Houyuan, Cao Ren and others lay on the floor in Xiahou Dun's ward, sleeping soundly.

"General! General!"

As he was sound asleep, a soldier came to the guard and said anxiously, "The Yellow Turban bandits have left the city, and they seem to be attacking the camp."

Cao Cao woke up suddenly, put on his clothes, took his sword, and strode out.

Cao Ren and Xia Houyuan woke up at the same time, so they wanted to follow.

"Miaocai, please stay here for a while." Guo Jia leaned against the bed, took a sip of wine and said.

Xia Houyuan was startled, saw Cao Ren leaving in a hurry, came over and asked in confusion, "What's the matter, military advisor?"

Guo Jia smiled slightly and said, "I'll give you a chance to make great contributions."

Xia Houyuan stepped forward fiercely, and said anxiously: "Military division, what chance?"

Xiahou Dun struggled to sit up on the bed and said, "Military Master, I'm fine!"
