Cao Cao's tent!

Cao Cao didn't call those generals, he only called Guo Jia and Cheng Yu. Facing the two confidants and think tanks, Cao Cao also told the truth:

"In the past, although Li Yao frequently launched conquests, they were in Yizhou and Bingzhou, all of which were far away from the Central Plains. I also felt afraid, but I was still fearless..."

"It's just that this time, that kid actually mobilized his troops to destroy Yuan Shao. The land of Jizhou is so rich. The key is to let him escape from the cage. From now on, there will be no peace in the Kanto..."

"Even me... Even I... already feel a little powerless, what can I do?"

Even Cao Cao, who had always been confident in himself, felt out of breath, which showed how critical the situation had become.

Guo Jia and Cheng Yu also frowned. They were very smart, and it was because of their smartness that they understood even more how unfavorable the situation is now.

Take the war potential of most of the world occupied by Li Yao as an example. As long as Li Yao looks at Cao Cao, he can hold it down with a hand. No matter how much Cao Cao punches and kicks, it is difficult to cause substantial damage to Li Yao .

Short is short, this is the most fundamental gap.

Guo Jia could not ignore the facts, after careful consideration, he opened his mouth to analyze and said:
"Yuan Shao's defeat was a matter of time, but he was not defeated by Duke Ming, but by Li Yao. This is more troublesome..."

"But a centipede is dead but not stiff. Li Yao wants to eliminate Yuan Shao's remaining influence. It is by no means an easy task. For the next period of time, his energy and troops must be placed in Jizhou. Duke Ming, This is a good thing, we can deal with Yuan Shu freely..."

"Besides, the bigger the territory, the more enemies. We are not the only ones to worry about now. Gongsun Zan of Youzhou, Liu Bei of Xuzhou, and Liu Biao of Jingzhou. To reduce the number of enemies and increase the number of friends is an upright way!"

Cao Cao nodded when he heard the words. After listening to Guo Jia's analysis, his mood improved. After all, sometimes, more approval is needed to make people feel full of confidence:

"Feng Xiao's words coincided with Wen Ruo's. He said in the letter that he joined forces with Liu Bei in Xuzhou and Liu Biao in Jingzhou to make an agreement with each other. Private fighting will be private fighting. Once Li Yao goes south in a big way, everyone Working together to deal with..."

"Although Liu Bei has the name of benevolence and righteousness, he is not good at strategy and military affairs. Liu Biao is even more of a housekeeper dog. If you give me enough time, I will definitely be able to eliminate them. It is sad and lamentable. Since Cao was born in nature, why not Regenerate Lee!"

At this time Cheng Yu said:
"Since Minggong needs time, then we must work hard to buy time..."

When Cao Cao heard this, he immediately turned his head to look at Cheng Yu, but at this moment, Cheng Yu narrowed his eyes, looking vicious and vicious, and couldn't help asking:

"What's Zhongde's plan?"

Cheng Yu is a ruthless person, so he said directly at this time:
"In this world, apart from Gongsun Zan, Liu Bei, Ming Gong, and Liu Biao, there is another force, the Xianbei on the grassland, who are both vicious and cunning. Now they are sending people to sneak into the grasslands, taking advantage of the chaos in Jizhou. As long as they invade the south, Li Yao must turn his attention to the north..."

"Li Yao has more cavalry, but Xianbei also has more cavalry. As long as they face each other, it will be impossible to tell the winner for a while, so Ming Gong will have time!"

This strategy can be said to be quite ruthless. Xianbei's invasion will harm the people of Youbing and Erzhou, but for Cao Cao, his territory is in the Central Plains. If Li Yao and Xianbei fight, there will indeed be nothing. Time, no energy to take care of him anymore.

But Cao Cao was very hesitant, a little moved, but unable to make up his mind, so he said:
"This matter is inappropriate. Xianbei is different from Wuhuan, Xiongnu, and Qiang. Ever since Tan Shihuai refused to marry him, he has always been the enemy of the Han. If I contact him, I will definitely be cast aside!"

Different from other Hu people, since Xianbei's rise, especially during the reign of Tan Shihuai, it can be said that he was extremely arrogant. For the sake of peace in northern Xinjiang, the Han Dynasty was willing to send out princesses for marriage just like the Xiongnu.

But Tan Shihuai refused, looked down on the princess of the Han Dynasty, and plundered the northern border of the Han Dynasty wantonly, which is why the Han Dynasty assembled three armies to attack Xianbei.

As a result, the three armies were all defeated, and nearly [-] people were killed. Since then, Xianbei has become more and more rampant, and the morale of the Han Dynasty has been low.

With the size of the Han Dynasty, these 5 people are nothing, but the situation in the Han Dynasty at that time, up and down, inside and outside, were moths, eunuchs, relatives, aristocratic families, powerful, all lying on the body of the Han Dynasty Blood sucking, these 5 people died, and more than 5 people could not be pulled out in a short time.

The military pay for 5 people, the food and grass for 5 people, the armor, weapons, and horses for 5 people were simply not available at that time.

It's not like now, the world is in chaos, moths have no room to survive, and those who stay are elites. Any vassal force can compete with Xianbei, but the opponent is all cavalry, so it is difficult to really eliminate.

After the death of this batch of elites, the next batch of moths will occupy high positions. There are still about 70 years, and 70 years are enough for moths to replace all the elites, so the Jin Dynasty is ridiculously rotten.

There is even a poem later:

The Three Kingdoms exhausted their heroism, and the two Jins were full of rats.

Cheng Yu took a deep breath, and then said solemnly:

"Minggong, don't worry, I will change my name, disguise myself, go to the outside of the Great Wall, contact Xianbei and invade the south, and someone from the Central Plains will contact Xianbei. This has nothing to do with Minggong. As for who it is, let others guess!"

At this time, Guo Jia also frowned. Although he felt that this strategy was very inappropriate, it was indeed effective for the current situation, and he only made a slight change:

"Guide Xianbei to fight for the territory of the former Huns. There are few Han people there, but it is Li Yao's pasture. There are many horses and other livestock. Li Yao will never let Xianbei occupy the Hetao Plain. If he provokes, the two sides will truly fight!"

After Cheng Yu, Guo Jia, and the two spoke one after another, Cao Cao made up his mind completely. He was never a hesitant person, so he said with great firmness:
"Then act according to the plan, guide Xianbei to fight for the territory of the former Huns, and buy enough time for me to unify the Central Plains..."

Finally looked at Cheng Yu, held his hands and said:

"Zhongde, I leave everything to you!"

With both hands held, Cheng Yu could only nod his head and say:
"Follow the order!"

In this way, a conspiracy against Li Yao gradually unfolded, and after that day, Cheng Yu also disappeared into Cao Cao's army.
