The Three Kingdoms are invincible

"That's unreasonable! Old thief Tao Qian, how dare you harm my family!" Cao Cao was furious after hearing Gao Shun's report, and shouted loudly.

Thanks to the protection of Gao Shun and Baizi, Cao Song and his party were not even injured by a single hair, so Gao Shun never expected that Cao Cao would be so angry.Gao Shun was also taken aback suddenly by his sudden outburst of scolding.

"Invite Xun Wenruo, Xun Gongda, Guo Fengxiao and Cheng Zhongmou here, I have something to discuss." After swearing, Cao Cao ordered the waiter around him to invite Xun Yu and others to discuss matters.

"My lord..." Seeing Cao Cao discussing matters with his advisers, Gao Shun thought he had nothing to do, so he wanted to say goodbye.

"Chang Gong, you can just keep it." To Gao Shun's surprise, Cao Cao let himself stay.

Not long after, Xun Yu and others filed in and sat down at the head of Cao Cao, while Gao Shun sat at the end of the crowd.Although Gao Shun was the general of the first army, the other party was an important adviser in Cao Cao's army, and his status was only higher than Gao Shun's.

Xun Yu is more than seven feet tall, with an elegant and handsome face.There are two beautiful men in the Three Kingdoms, one is Yingchuan Xun Wenruo, and the other is Jiangdong Mei Zhoulang. In terms of appearance and temperament, there is almost no one who surpasses these two men in the late Han Dynasty and the Three Kingdoms period, even Zhuge Liang who claims to have the appearance of a fairy.After Cao Cao unified the north, Xun Yu served as Minister of the Book, known as Xun Lingjun.It is said that when Xun Yu chatted with people, the other party would feel as comfortable as smelling the fragrance of a sachet just by looking at his appearance. Therefore, the allusion "Xun Ling Liu Xiang" was spread in later generations to describe a beautiful man. .

Cheng Yu was eight feet three inches tall, with a beautiful beard and a very majestic appearance. If he changed the name of a long gown to armor, he would definitely be mistaken for a brave general.Among Cao Cao's advisers, Cheng Yu is the oldest.This year Cao Cao is 38 years old, Xun You is 36 years old, Xun Yu is 30 years old, and Guo Jia is only 23 years old. Others such as Xi Zhicai are only in their 30s, while Cheng Yu is already in his fifties this year.Perhaps because of being an elder and having an upright personality, Cheng Yu is the most dignified among the counselors under Cao Cao's tent.

Although Xun You is Xun Yu's nephew, he is six years older than Xun Yu. Although his appearance is not as handsome as Xun Yu's, he is more generous.

As for Guo Jia, he still had that unrestrained look. Even if Cao Cao wanted to discuss matters, there was still a cynical smile on his face.

"I invite you here to discuss something important." Seeing that everyone was present, Cao Cao asked Gao Shun to repeat the whole story of Zhang Kai's attempt to rob and kill his father.

Gao Shun was taken aback when he heard the words, Cao Song and his party were all safe and sound, so is there any need to call all the top counselors under him to discuss this matter?But after thinking about it, Gao Shun couldn't help but burst out laughing. It seemed that no matter whether Cao Song died or not, if Cao Cao didn't take a bite of Xuzhou's fat meat, he would never be reconciled.

At present, by the way, from the time when Tao Qian sent Zhang Kai to protect him, to the end when Zhang Kai and his three hundred Xuzhou troops were destroyed, Gao narrated the whole process to everyone present.

"My lord is going to attack Xuzhou?" Everyone here is smart, even thinking about what Cao Cao wants to do.

"That's right, I came here to discuss the strategy of attacking Xuzhou." Cao Cao said earnestly.

"Fame is not enough." Guo Jia pointed out sharply.Although the world is in chaos now, the Han Dynasty has not completely disappeared.Tao Qian was a Xuzhou shepherd appointed by the Han Dynasty. In addition, he was known as benevolent and virtuous. If he attacked for no reason, it was hard to guarantee that he would not be called a rebellious official.This is why Cao Cao later threatened the emperor.Occupying the righteousness of the Son of Heaven, Cao Cao can fight whoever he wants, regardless of whether you are the overlord or the Han clan, whether you are diligent in politics and love the people or rampant, as long as I don't like you, I will send troops to destroy you.

But now Emperor Han is still far away in Chang'an and is firmly held in the hands of the two thieves Li and Guo. Cao Cao wants to attack Xuzhou, but it is really unknown.In history, Cao Cao took the title of avenging the whole family at any rate, which is not unacceptable, but Cao Cao acted too violently, leaving no chickens or dogs wherever he went, which made him notorious.However, now that Cao Song's family has all returned safely, and Zhang Kai, the culprit, has long since died, it would be very unkind to find fault with Tao Qian.Don't talk about massacring the city by then, I'm afraid there will be constant scolding from all sides as soon as they enter the boundary of Xuzhou.

Seeing Cao Cao's uneasy expression, Gao Shun's heart skipped a beat. Did I save someone by mistake?If this kid hoped that his father would be killed by Tao Qian's men from the very beginning, wouldn't he be out of luck?

Cao Cao tapped a few cases with his fingers and said, "If I send troops to Xuzhou, what will happen?"

Xun Yu thought for a while and replied: "Xuzhou is the place where the Four Wars took place, and the center of the world. If no one invades it, under Tao Gongzu's governance, Xuzhou can still maintain smooth weather. If someone attacks Xuzhou first, the Central Plains will be full of ambitions. Everyone rises up, and the clouds move in all directions."

Cao Cao fell into deep thought. Yanzhou is adjacent to Xuzhou. He had wanted to annex Xuzhou for a long time, but he suffered from the name of not sending troops.It was not easy for him to catch Tao Qian once. Although it is extremely reluctant to use this as a reason to send troops, if he misses this opportunity, he will have to wait until the next time he wants to find a reluctant excuse.

"Chang Gong, you saved my father's life, what do you think about this?" Cao Cao suddenly asked Gao Shun.

"I think that since my lord wants to attack Xuzhou, then I should send troops." Although Cao Cao didn't expect that he would ask himself suddenly, but when he was asked, Gao made up his mind by the way, as long as he said what the boss wanted.

"Oh? Then do you think that the reason 'Tao Qian sent troops to try to kill my father' is enough to attack Xuzhou?" Hearing Gao Shun's unabashed approval of attacking Xuzhou, Cao Cao was surprised.It is normal for a militant like Xiahou Dun to say such things, but judging from Gao Shun's plan for chasing Dong Zhuo last time, although he is a general, he has a calm personality and has a certain degree of cunning.Guo Jia said that the status of sending troops is not enough, that is, he does not agree with his idea of ​​attacking Xuzhou. Originally, Cao Cao thought that Gao Shun would also express his objection tactfully, but he did not expect the other party to make such an answer.

"This reason is definitely not enough." Gao Shun ignored the doubtful gazes cast by the crowd, and continued after a pause, "However, the general believes that the way of heaven is the law of the jungle!"

"What a way of heaven!" Cao Cao clapped his palms and laughed loudly after hearing this, "Indeed, if I can capture Xuzhou, occupy the land of Yanzhou and Xuzhou, and raise [-] elite soldiers, even if there are different opinions in the world, what can I do!"

"My lord, although Tao Qian is a scribe, he is not completely ignorant of military strategy. The Danyang soldiers under his command can also be regarded as the elite of one side. At that time, he will defend the city. With the current strength of our army, it may not be able to Conquer Xuzhou." Xun Yu frowned slightly, and then poured cold water on Cao Cao, "Besides, if our army wants to capture Xuzhou, all the troops will definitely come out, and Yanzhou will be empty. If an enemy takes advantage of my unpreparedness, attack our rear At that time, it will be difficult to return to rescue. If Yanzhou is lost, our army will become a rootless weed, and there is a danger of complete annihilation at any time."

Xun Yu is worthy of being called Wang Zuozhi's talent by Cao Cao. Gao Shun admired what Xun Yu said.In history, although Cao Cao tried his best to attack Xuzhou, he still failed to compete for success in the end. Instead, Liu Bei, a guy who was cheap, enjoyed his success and got a Xuzhou animal husbandry for nothing.However, Lu Bu took advantage of the emptiness behind Cao Cao and took the opportunity to occupy most of the cities in Yanzhou, which almost put Cao Cao in a dilemma.

"If what Wen said is reasonable, in my opinion, we should focus on recharging our energy and recharging our energy. After a few years, when our army is stronger, we will compete in the Central Plains and send troops to Xuzhou. The chances of winning are promising." Cheng Yu also put forward his own opinion, which was roughly the same as Xun Yu's.

Cao Cao is a person who is good at listening to the opinions of his subordinates, but at the same time he is a stubborn person. It can be said that sometimes he is such a contradictory body. He knows that what his counselors say is right, but he wants to follow his own ideas. one time.

"My lord, what the gentlemen said is reasonable...But if my lord had spent a few years to recharge his batteries, wouldn't Tao Qian have done that? At that time, our army will become stronger, and so will the enemy army. What's the difference in the situation?" Seeing Cao Cao's silence, Gao Shun interjected, "Tao Qian's opponents are only Danyang soldiers. Not Shun's boasting, but Shun's allied forces are definitely stronger than Danyang soldiers. In our army, except for the trapped camp, the rest of the army is also brave. In the Xuzhou army, except for the Danyang soldiers, they are all mobs, so there is nothing to fear. My lord has many good generals, such as Yuan Rang, Miao Cai, Zi Long, and Zi Long. Xiao and Gongyao (Xu Rong characters, invented) are all great generals, but Tao Qian has never heard of any good generals. Therefore, if the lord wants to attack Xuzhou, Shun thinks that he must beat him with one blow."

Gao Shun's long-winded speech was firstly to please Cao Cao, and he followed his mind, and secondly, he was also eager for war.Gao Shun is a general, and this is a troubled time.In troubled times, how military generals make meritorious deeds depends on killing the enemy on the battlefield.Ever since Gao Shun traveled to this era, the first thing he seeks in his heart is fame and fame.Therefore, Gao Shun certainly hopes that Cao Cao can launch a war so that he can have more and more performance opportunities.If it really takes a few years to fight, then Gao Shun, who has a strong reputation for fame, must be suppressed.
