Chapter 257 Cao Cao and Yuan Shu's Countermeasures

Seeing the death of his beloved son, Gongsun Zan was furious and ordered Tian Yu to expand the range of additional troops.

At this moment, Gongsun Zan's mentality changed. He wanted to avenge his son, but he didn't care about any other civil upheaval.

He, Gongsun Zan, had only one son like Gongsun Xu, and when he died, there would be no future.

In this era, the emphasis is on three kinds of unfilial piety, and it is great to have no descendants.

Gongsun Zan was naturally not reconciled when his only son died, he wanted to avenge his son!

Tian Yu's repeated persuasion was useless, Gongsun Zan then devoted himself to arranging the funeral, and was not in the mood to listen to Tian Yu's words.

Tian Yu was helpless, so he had to follow Gongsun Zan's idea.

And this matter quickly spread, and the whole world knew that Wei Zhongdao killed Gongsun Zan's son Gongsun Xu.

In Xuchang City, when Cao Cao heard about this, instead of being shocked, he was overjoyed.

"Hahaha, good kill, good kill!"9

"Wei Zhongdao actually killed Gongsun Xu himself. For Gongsun Zan, this is a life-and-death feud that cannot be resolved!"5

"Presumably that Gongsun Zan must be heartbroken at this moment, and he should expand his troops to deal with Wei Zhongdao's son.""

Cao Cao was very happy, because in this way, Gongsun Zan was bound to fight Wei Zhongdao to the death, which was in his favor!

But as soon as these words came out, the head of the person on the right of 670 below the hall shook his head: "If the lord thinks so, it is a big mistake."

"Huh?" Cao Cao narrowed his eyes and looked at the man: "What's Feng Xiao's opinion?

Yes, this thin looking young man is Guo Jia!

Before Yuan Shao and Wei Zhongdao went to war, he defected to Cao Cao at the suggestion of Xi Zhicai.

Facing Cao Cao's words, he did not agree.

"Master, although Wei Zhongdao killed Gongsun Xu, Gongsun Zan will definitely seek revenge for him, but Wei Zhongdao's focus must be us and Yuan Shu!"

Guo Jia said solemnly: "Our army must not underestimate Wei Zhongdao because of this, maybe his trick is to confuse our army."

"Even if Gongsun Zan expands his troops, he is still a recruit, so how can he be the opponent of Wei Zhongdao?"

"While Wei Zhongdao kept his main force in Chentao City, it was for the convenience of his troops to go south after the beginning of the new year! 35

"If Wei Zhongdao really intends to deal with Gongsun Zan, he will not leave the soldiers and horses behind, but take them all, or take half of them to Yijing City."

"But he didn't, he just brought 10,000 cavalry, which is enough to show that this person's real purpose is not Youzhou, but my Yanzhou and Yuan Shu's Yuzhou!"

Guo Jia's words caused the smile on Cao Cao's face to gradually fade away, and his face became solemn.

With Cao Cao's wisdom, how could he not hear whether Guo Jia's words were true or false.

On the contrary, a burly general led by the left stood up: "I say filial piety, don't you treat me like nothing when you say this?"

"No matter how powerful Wei Zhongdao is, can he still take down our army and Yuan army at the same time?"

"General Dian Wei has misunderstood." Guo Jia saw the man stand up, and he said with an apologetic smile: "I mean to let the lord be more careful, and don't neglect precautions because of this.

"If I guess correctly, Wei Zhongdao will definitely lead the army to attack our Yanzhou after the new year.

"I even thought about the reason for him, that is, our army took advantage of the fact that he was at war with Yuan Shao and led the army to attack Yangping County."

"Then Wei Zhongdao will never suffer, this time he was almost attacked by our army from both sides, so naturally he can't let me wait for a rest.

"So, I think it is necessary for our army to expand its troops, and at the same time, it is also necessary to bring back General Xu Chu who attacked Qingzhou."

Guo Jia's plan can be said to be watertight. On the one hand, it allows recruiters to take advantage of the opportunity to expand their strength, and on the other hand, it also guards against Wei Zhongdao's attack next year.

After listening, Cao Cao nodded, then looked at a middle-aged man behind Guo Jia: "Wen Ruo, what do you think about this matter?"

Xun Yu, who was named, stood up: "My lord, I think Feng Xiao's words are reasonable, and our army has to guard against Wei Zhongdao."35

"This person has the guts to control the present day, and he dares to arrogate himself to be an emperor. There is nothing he can't do!"

(agdb) Xun Yu was loyal to the Han Dynasty all his life, and he hated Wei Zhongdao's behavior very much.

He also agrees with Guo Jia's suggestion, and believes that Wei Zhongdao will definitely attack their Yanzhou after the new year.

Even if Guo Jia didn't suggest this, he would stand up and propose to Cao Cao.

After Cao Cao heard the words of his two most important advisers, he also realized that he was about to face Wei Zhongdao, the king of Wei.

Even though Cao Cao didn't take Wei Zhongdao to heart on the surface, only he knew that, in fact, he was also full of fear of Wei Zhongdao in his heart.

Last year, during the battle at Hulao Pass, he had seen Wei Zhongdao once from a distance.

"If that's the case, then according to what Fengxiao said, transfer Xu Chu back and let Xiahou Dun continue to attack Qingzhou!

"At the same time, our army is also recruiting and preparing to deal with Wei Zhongdao!"

"In addition, send someone to tell Yuan Shu and let him be prepared."

"promise!""

Cao Cao quickly made up his mind, and even sent someone to inform Yuan Shu.

Yuan Shu received Cao Cao's messenger a few days later.

"Everyone, this is a letter from Cao Cao to this general. He said that even if Wei Zhongdao killed Gongsun Xu, he would definitely attack their Yanzhou and our Yuzhou next year."

"What do you guys think about this?

The one on the left, a general wearing stomach armor, stood up, and he sneered: "Master, don't panic, that Wei Zhongdao is only the son of Shuzi, how can he be our army's opponent?

"If he dares to declare war on both our army and Cao's army at the same time, he will seek his own death, and the last commander is willing to cut off his head with his own three-pointed and two-edged sword!

"Besides, Yuzhou is below Yanzhou. Even if Wei Zhongdao wants to fight, he will attack Yanzhou first, so I don't have to worry about it!"

"Only wait for Cao Cao and Wei Zhongdao to defeat both sides before our army strikes again and reap the benefits of the fisherman!"

Yuan Shu's eyes lit up when he heard this: "Hahahaha, General Ji Ling's words are reasonable, they are reasonable!

"If that's the case, then our army can rest easy. Anyway, with Cao Cao in front, our army doesn't have to worry about the Wei army's attack."

As soon as he finished speaking, a general behind Ji Ling stood up: "My lord, this is absolutely impossible!

"Then Wei Zhongdao is so powerful, if our army does not unite with Cao Cao, it will be difficult to win! 35

"Even if Wei Zhongdao and Cao Cao were both defeated, our army would not be able to be that fisherman.

This person's name was Zhang Xun, and he was a general under Yuan Shu's command except Ji Ling.

But his words made Yuan Shu wave his hand: "General Zhang, you have been thinking too much, how could our army be unable to defeat the Wei army who was severely injured by Cao's army?

"This matter should have been decided, you can't say more!"
