The frail counselor you said, you fight against three heroes alone?

Chapter 209 Xi Yu: Brother, you are not making waves!
All the counselors present also nodded their heads in agreement, for a person like Liu Bei who didn't even have the guts to accept the reward, if anyone followed him, it would be impossible to talk about making meritorious deeds.

Only Xi Yu shook his head slightly, thinking in his heart: Zhuge Liang, if you hadn't joined me, you would be more than happy to assist Liu Xuande!

You are very deep in the city, and you said something against your will so naturally.

Xi Yu knew that Zhuge Liang was just trying to play Cao Cao off... His chuckles just now were clearly mocking Cao Cao.

"Not bad! Feng Yi, this young talent under your command is very knowledgeable, not bad, hahaha!!"

"In my opinion, you should have more opportunities for him to give advice and suggestions for you, accumulate some military exploits, and help you stabilize the lands of Xuzhou and Yangzhou, so that they can be reused in the future!"

Cao Cao liked Zhuge Liang's remarks very much, and he knew that Zhuge Liang had just arrived under Xi Yu's account, so naturally he had to treat him well so that he could really use him.

"Kong Ming, although you are talented, you are still young. You need to learn from Feng Yi with humility, and you will become a great talent in the future!"

"Understood..." Hearing this, Kong Ming smiled lightly.

"Very well, I ordered you to meet again in the future, and you must not take the last seat." Cao Cao looked at Zhuge Liang expectantly.

At this time, Jia Xu who was secretly eating was stunned.

He thought to himself: I am the one sitting at the bottom right now, right?
Soon, the battle report about Shouchun spread from Yangzhou to Xuchang, and Cao Cao kept his promise and handed over the military power to Xi Yu.

But Cao Cao only gave Xuzhou [-] soldiers and horses for the time being. As for the others, Xi Yu had to try to get them himself.

Before leaving, Cao Cao patted Xi Yu on the shoulder and said, "Fengyi, you also know that there are limited soldiers and horses for brother, and I can't give you more soldiers and horses now. I hope you will live up to the heavy trust and resist for brother well." Sun Ce."

"Sun Ce, known as the little overlord, took advantage of me to attack Shouchun, took advantage of the opportunity to occupy Lujiang, defeated Jiujiang, Yuzhang and other places. In this way, this kid has a foothold in the Jiangwu area."

"However, I've heard that Sun Ce is admirable by directly beheading the nobles who disobeyed him."

"I once worked with Sun Jian, the father of Sun Ce. This generation of the Sun family is really brave and good at fighting, and has a resolute character. If things fail to achieve their goals, they will never give up."

Cao Cao sighed deeply, "In the future, it will depend on Fengyi to resist the Sun family."

"But now, I have no intention of attacking Jiangdong. Do you know who I will attack next?"

After saying that, Cao Cao suddenly laughed out loud.

Xi Yu thought for a while, then replied calmly, "It's nothing but Yuan Shao."

"Oh?"

Cao Cao was taken aback for a moment. Although he knew that Xi Yu was talented, he couldn't help but marvel in his heart, "Feng Yi, how do you know what I mean?"

Xi Yu's face changed slightly, and he was also amazed in his heart.

He already had a hunch that the current battle of Guandu might come earlier than the original schedule.

Perhaps, to be precise, it wasn't early at all.

A real war is not simply a few fights.

To mobilize before the war, make famous announcements, and then spy on various military situations, and perhaps create and spread many rumors.

After preparing enough food and grass, organize the war armaments, demonstrate military strength, and then attract all potential forces that can be used by us, so as to fight together and fight against the enemy.

After the start of the war, once the city is captured, immediately try to expand the results of the battle, and use rumors to widen the gap between the winner and loser, so as to gradually accumulate the cause of victory.

In the end, it is hoped that one hit will win.

Now, it seems that preparations are being made for war, but it should be a few years before war is really launched.

Xi Yu remembers that the Battle of Guandu, which was one of the four major battles in history, was actually a "war of the world".

The battle between Yuan Shao and Cao Cao, the two powerful overlords, is even more a contest between the two strategists and fierce generals.

From this year's pre-war planning, this epic battle has already kicked off.

"I know."

Xi Yu saluted Cao Cao and said softly.

Cao Cao handed over Xuzhou and Yangzhou to Xi Yu this time, not only for development, but also to give Xi Yu the chance to win the battle against Yuan Shao.

Cao Cao said indifferently, "Feng Yi, I remember that you haven't picked up that tiger-head gilt gun for a year, if you need it, can you still pick it up?"

Xi Yu was stunned for a moment.

"Brother, I listen to your words, but you want to...plan?"

Won't let me go to the battlefield again?

How could I resist so many people?
Cao Cao already understood what Xi Yu meant, and then laughed, "Feng Yi, you are worrying too much. Now that I have many soldiers, I have no intention of letting you charge for me!!"

Hearing Cao Cao's words, Xi Yu immediately felt a strong sense of the flag.

start again...

Xi Yu couldn't help thinking of how flustered Cao Cao was when he was dominated by Yan Liangwen Chou on Guandu, and now that Guan Yunchang is not here...

He suddenly felt bad, and said softly, "Brother, we will decide on this matter when the time comes."

"However, I still have a request to my brother, and I hope the Lord will take it to heart and never forget it."

"Feng Yi, why are you so solemn?" Seeing Xi Yu's serious expression, Cao Cao suddenly felt that Xi Yu must have something important to do, and looked at Xi Yu with anticipation.

Moreover, Cao Cao suddenly remembered that the previous setbacks might have been due to his disobedience to Xi Yu's words.

After thinking about it, Cao Cao made up his mind that he would never underestimate Xi Yu's entrustment as before.

"Brother, don't be fussy about things." Xi Yu patted Cao Cao on the shoulder and said solemnly.

"Can't... make waves?"

Cao Cao didn't know what Xi Yu meant by this for a while, but he finally muttered, frowning, not quite understanding what Xi Yu meant.

"Frozen? What do you mean?"

Cao Cao asked very puzzled, feeling unable to keep up with Xi Yu's thoughts for a while.

Xi Yu looked as if he was promoted, and said with a smile, "Brother, you will understand slowly, remember, don't waste your time."

Although he didn't quite understand Xi Yu's meaning, Cao Cao nodded and waved to Xi Yu, "Fengyi, you go back. If I can't make a decision, I'll ask you for advice."

Xi Yu hurriedly bowed deeply, "I'm really flattered that my brother is so polite. If you want to find me, you will send someone to send me to do it. How dare you let my brother take care of himself."

"hey-hey……"

Cao Cao smiled very satisfied, then turned around and stepped on the car, gradually disappearing on the way back to Xuchang.

Xi Yu stood outside the back camp of Xiapi City, watching Cao Cao's tens of thousands of troops gradually disappear on the official road, for some reason, he felt a sense of loss in his heart.

Cao Cao's attitude towards him... No matter whether it is for the dominance of the world or not, Cao Cao's kindness to him is indeed impeccable.

"My lord, the lord has gone far."

Seeing that Xi Yu seemed a little sad, Jia Xu approached and said suddenly.

"Ahem, Wenhe, can you make some noise when you walk in the future, okay?"

Xi Yu was already full of thoughts at the moment, and Jia Xu suddenly spoke in front of him, which really surprised Xi Yu. Out of subconscious instinct, he almost punched him.

"Uh...My lord, I'm sorry, I'm the one to die. I wear cloth shoes, so it's hard to make any noise when I walk. Why don't you give me a pair of boots, so that I can make some noise when I walk... "

"What do you mean by that? Do you want to tell me that you are short of money?"

Xi Yu looked in disbelief, and looked at Jia Xu, "Wenhe, you have at least 120 hu, 20 silk, hundreds of five baht coins per month, and a lot of cloth, gold and silver. Isn't it enough for you to buy a pair of boots?"

Jia Xu suddenly smiled, "Hey, my lord, is there anyone in this world who thinks too much money?"

"Look, how about this? I'll give you a piece of advice, and you'll give me a pair of boots?"

Hearing this, Xi Yu smiled, pointed at the supply camp, "Sir, please..."

……

In Jizhou at this time, after Yuan Shao captured Youzhou, he gained a large number of soldiers, population, and territory.

Now the net worth is stronger.

Yecheng, within the government office.

Yuan Shao has just finished rewarding his advisers and generals for their meritorious service.

"Everyone, Gongsun Zan is broken, and now the north is stable!"

"I have no worries about the future. Next, what do you think should be?"

Yuan Shao lazily stared at the group of counselors below.

The identities of these people are not simple. They didn't want to quickly end the war against Gongsun Zan, so as to check and balance each other and take the opportunity to suppress each other.

But they didn't expect that Yuan Shao used Xi Yu's method to suppress the dispute among the counselors with the power of thunder, and resolutely fought Gongsun Zan quickly, which is why he achieved the current results.

Only then did I have more time and energy to prepare for going south.

Among Yuan Shao's counselors, they were generally divided into four factions, Ju Shou, Guo Tu, Tian Feng and Xu You, each leading a faction.

Tian Feng is a man with a strong personality, and he does what he says.

Xu You is smooth and shrewd, and he followed Yuan Shao very early, so he has a very good relationship with Yuan Shao.

Jushou, a representative of the Hebei gentry, is backed by a large family, and represents the interests of countless gentry.

As for Guo Tu... he believes in the doctrine of the mean, and is good at protecting himself wisely.

Among the four major factions, Xu You and Tian Feng were the ones fighting the fiercest.

Both of them wished that Yuan Shao would only follow their own strategies.

Yuan Shao also likes to listen to the opinions of these two people, and then make his own strategic deployment.

However, when there were few soldiers and few generals before, he could still make decisive decisions, but now that there are so many people and a huge territory, Yuan Shao began to feel a little bit tied up.

"Everyone, why are you silent?"

After saying that, Yuan Shao smiled and glanced at the group of generals and advisers, and then he set his sights on Ju Yi.

Ju Yi took the lead in defeating Gongsun Zan quickly this time.He defeated the righteousness of the white horse, and directly shattered Gongsun Zan's last hope.

"Ju Yi, now that my north is stable, what's your plan for the next step?"

Ju Yi was sitting at the second place in the general's seat at the moment. He cupped his fists and said, "My lord, from my point of view, it is time to recuperate and rehabilitate, prepare troops and feed horses, and after we have enough weapons and food, we will plan for Yanzhou, Yangzhou, and Xuzhou."

"At that time, our iron hooves will definitely be able to kill Cao Cao with a single blow!"

"It's true!"

"His grandma's!! Cao Cao, relying on the emperor in his hand, actually threatened to make the lord surrender!!"

"How arrogant this thief is, you must teach this thief a lesson!"

"That's true! Our next step is to fight Cao Cao and let this thief dedicate all his territory to you, my lord!"

"That's right, when Thief Cao raised his army, it was because of the Lord's favor and help that Cao A can hide it today!!"

When Ju Yi spoke, he didn't want to start a war now, but he didn't want to make the blood of a group of generals boil immediately.

This group of generals, the favorite is marching and fighting,

They are very clear in their hearts that fighting can not only earn their own fame, but also make contributions and gain greater military power. As a general, only the greater the military power, the higher the status.

Now, Yuan Shao's generals have the same thoughts as Cao Cao's clan, and they all want to strive for greater credit. If Cao Cao's territory is captured, the North will be unified.

Then go south to Jingzhou, and then defeat the land of Jiangdong. Within ten years, the Han Dynasty will be unified.

If it really comes to that time, it will no longer be a simple appointment of officials and generals, but a territory of a marquis!

Once you become a Marquis, you will have your own territory, and the whole family will be able to prosper from then on. In troubled times, isn't that the purpose of making contributions?

When all the generals were excited, Tian Feng suddenly said, "It is inevitable to attack Cao Cao."

Hearing this, the generals immediately became quiet and looked at Tian Feng one after another.

Tian Feng is the number one counselor under Yuan Shao's command. He is a well-known scholar in Jizhou. Yuan Shao invited Tian Feng just now after some courtesy. The purpose is to let him make suggestions and formulate future development strategies.

At this time, Yuan Shao looked at Tian Feng expectantly.

It was just throwing bricks to attract jade, and now the goal has been achieved.

He asked Ju Yi what he meant, but he was throwing bricks to attract jade, and now his goal has been achieved.

Tian Feng said with a smile, "I really understand the eagerness of the generals to make contributions, but if we go to war with Cao Cao now, although we have a better chance of winning, we will also lose a lot. In this way, it will be handed over to the Huns and Wuhuan in the south. The opportunity for the northern nomadic forces to harm the border."

"My lord, there are still northern people who need to be gathered, and there is Lu Bu of Qingzhou in the south. This person's temperament is vacillating, and now I don't know where to return."

"We have to use some tricks to win over Lu Bu and let him harass Cao Cao."

Hearing this, Yuan Shao's eyes suddenly lit up, and he said in a loud voice, "What you said is true."

"However, Lu Bu and I had old grievances, but fortunately it was not an irreparable enmity. Now that we are facing a common enemy, I believe Lu Bu will definitely not refuse."

Tian Feng bowed and said, "Now, the lord owns Bingzhou, Youzhou and Jizhou. If you win over Qingzhou, you can own the land of the four states. Moreover, Youzhou is suitable for opening the Hu City and promoting the commercial development of the land of the three states. You can make a lot of money.”

"At the same time, my lord adopts the military and civilian garrison system to store grain and grass. Moreover, the land of Jizhou is a plain area, so the transportation of grain and grass is very convenient. It only takes three days at the shortest, and only 21 days at the most."

"In this way, the strength of soldiers and horses will be continuous, and our supply of food and grass is absolutely sufficient."

Hearing this, Xu You suddenly burst into a smile, very happy, "Hahaha..."

After a while, Xu You stood up and smiled calmly, "The one who bribed him back then was Hebei Xiyu."

While speaking, Xu You looked proud, and said: "Master, I am not Xu You who is blind and arrogant. This person, Xi Yu, seems to be very knowledgeable, but he is not so terrible."

"I have a spy to report that Xi Yu was once tired by Cao's clan. My spy once reported to me that Yang Biao and his son had made trouble in Xuchang before."

"But none of the Cao clan's family members spoke for him, so Xi Yu could only go alone. From this point of view, Xi Yu also has weaknesses."

"Maybe it's because of lack of etiquette, or maybe it's because Cao Cao doesn't like it. From this point of view, it may be a wise way to try to separate these two people, and take advantage of Xi Yu's relationship with Cao's clan."

"Very good." Hearing this, Yuan Hao said with a smile on his face.

If this is true, it will be a decisive opportunity for victory: as long as Cao Cao's chief adviser can be killed before the war starts, it will definitely affect Cao Cao's mood in battle.

"Hehe, it's very good, I will definitely adopt the strengths of each school and bring them to the extreme.

Afterwards, the strategy was sorted out, and they went to the government office to build armaments, recruit new soldiers, and train the horses and cavalry and the long-distance attack battle formation very hard. "

After a while, Xu You stood up and smiled calmly, "The one who bribed him back then was Hebei Xiyu."

While speaking, Xu You looked proud, and said: "Master, I am not Xu You who is blind and arrogant. This person, Xi Yu, seems to be very knowledgeable, but he is not so terrible."

"I have a spy to report that Xi Yu was once tired by Cao's clan. My spy once reported to me that Yang Biao and his son had made trouble in Xuchang before."

"But none of the Cao clan's family members spoke for him, so Xi Yu could only go alone. From this point of view, Xi Yu also has weaknesses."

"Maybe it's because of lack of etiquette, or maybe it's because Cao Cao doesn't like it. From this point of view, it may be wise to try to separate the two of them, and take advantage of Xi Yu's relationship with Cao's clan."

"Very good." Hearing this, Yuan Hao said with a smile on his face.

If this is true, it will be a decisive opportunity for victory: as long as Cao Cao's chief adviser can be killed before the war starts, it will definitely affect Cao Cao's mood in battle.

"Hehe, it's very good, I will definitely adopt the strengths of each school and bring them to the extreme.

Organize the strategy into shape, arrive at the government office, work hard to build ordnance, recruit new soldiers, and train war horses and cavalry and long-range battle formations. "

"I firmly believe that within three years, we will definitely march south and conquer Xuchang in one fell swoop!"

"My lord Shengming!!"

For a moment, the advisors cheered.

A group of generals also looked at each other, and everyone understood the meaning of Yuan Hao's words.

This matter must not be rushed. Now that you have just obtained Youzhou, it is time to recuperate. However, before the battle, there are still many things to do.

Such as a military division.

When leaving, Yuan Shao left Xu You behind.

Seeing everyone walking away, Yuan Shao sighed, "How much do you know about Xi Yu?"

When Xu You heard it, Yuan Shao was doing this.

"The specific strength is not yet known."

"However, Xi Yu came from a reckless background. Such a commoner has such strength now, and he must not be underestimated."

However, because of this, Xi Yu was hated by the gentry class.

It has to be said that Xi Yu is holding a double-edged sword. Although he can kill the enemy and Cao thief, he can easily make himself pay a heavy price. "

"It is said that there are only five hundred soldiers from the supply battalion under Xi Yu, and according to Xi Yu's request, these people must stay away from the ranks of Cao Cao's advisers and never compete with them."

Upon hearing this, Yuan Shao nodded in approval and said, "This is a smart move..."
