The Strongest Lu Bu's Sweeping Thousands of Armies

Chapter 297 Prepare with both hands
Lu Bu planned to relocate all the family members in Xuzhou to Jianye. Since there were too many people involved, it was impossible to make it airtight.

Lu Su is still preparing for the relocation of his family members, and Cao Cao, who is far away in Xudu, has received the news.

Cao Cao called Guo Jia, who had just returned from Yecheng for a few days, to his study.

On his desk was a piece of silk with words written all over it.

Guo Jia walked into the study, and after seeing the ceremony, Cao Cao picked up the silk and said, "Fengxiao, look at this."

Going forward to take the silk, Guo Jia browsed it and said to Cao Cao: "Lu Fengxian intends to move all the family members in Xuzhou to Jianye, and he intends to leave a retreat for the future."

"Feng Xiao thinks he might retreat to Jianye if he can't defend Xuzhou?" Cao Cao asked.

When he got the news, Cao Cao had guessed Lu Bu's plan.

Inviting Guo Jia to come over is nothing more than asking him how to deal with it.

Guo Jia replied: "Sun Bofu has been running Wujun for many years, and the people there are more loyal to Sun Bofu than to Lu Fengxian. Of course he can't move everyone to Wujun and retreat to Jiangdong. The only choice he has is Jianye."

"Jiangdong and the Central Plains are separated by the Yangtze River. If he retreats there, it will not be so easy to defeat them in the future." Cao Cao said, "I planned to send troops to attack in a few days, but now it seems that I have to plan in advance. "

"When does the lord plan to send troops?" Guo Jia asked.

"When does Feng Xiao think it's appropriate to send troops?" Cao Cao didn't answer, but asked a rhetorical question.

Guo Jia replied: "The Yuan family in Hebei hasn't made any moves yet, we have sent troops hastily, if the Yuan family and Lu Bu join forces, it will be bad for my lord."

Staring at Guo Jia, Cao Cao asked, "Feng Xiao thinks that the Yuan family might join forces with Lu Bu to deal with me?"

"No one can tell until that day." Guo Jia replied, "Compared with Lu Bu, the lord should be more taboo to the Yuan family."

Cao Cao frowned and said nothing.

Guo Jia was right.

Although he went to Yecheng and persuaded Yuan Shao to send troops, but before Hebei sent troops, he was still not sure which side he would target.

For Yuan Shao, there is no difference between winning Xuzhou and Yuzhou.

Moreover, Cao Cao in Yuzhou has a stronger army than Lu Bu, and he has more generals than Lu Bu's generals.

By defeating Cao Cao, the Yuan family will benefit even more than defeating Lu Bu...

"Yuan Benchu ​​didn't send troops, but we can't always wait like this." Cao Cao asked Guo Jia: "Is there any way Feng Xiao thinks that we don't need to openly attack Lu Bu, but also prevent him from migrating his family to Jianye?"

"If you just want to stop Lu Bu from moving his family, the best way is to send a team to quietly block the way." Guo Jia said, "At the same time, my lord can send someone to question. Don't ask other questions, just ask him why he wanted Xuzhou’s family members moved to Jianye and that’s it.”

"Who does Feng Xiao think I should send?" Cao Cao asked.

"Mao Jie can speak eloquently, why don't you ask him to go there." Guo Jia said: "With his eloquence, Lu Bu, who should be able to ask questions, is speechless."

Guo Jia recommended Mao Jie, Cao Cao nodded silently.

Cao Cao is still very familiar with Mao Jie.

This person is not only excellent in eloquence, but also in wisdom and strategy is not inferior to Cao Cao's main advisers.

It is perfect to send him to Xuzhou.

Agreeing with Guo Jia's proposal very much, Cao Cao ordered Xu Chu who was waiting on the sidelines: "Bring Mao Jie here and tell him that I have something important to do."

Before Xu Chu retreated, Cao Cao asked Guo Jia, "Who does Feng Xiao think is appropriate to send troops to stop Lu Fengxian's family?"

Guo Jia didn't reply, but turned his attention to Xu Chu.

Seeing Guo Jia's intentions from Guo Jia's actions, Xu Chu said to Cao Cao: "My lord, if necessary, I can lead people to stop Lu Bu's family."

"Isn't it appropriate for Zhongkang to bring someone there?" Cao Cao frowned and said, "Lu Bu also has some strong generals under his command, if Zhongkang is entangled by them..."

"My lord, don't worry." Xu Chu said, "I will take people there, and I will definitely stop Lu Bu's family members. If some of his ruthless people come across him, it will be a matter of fighting a few times."

"Lu Bu's subordinates, Zhao Zilong, Chen Shuzhi, Zhang Wenyuan, Sun Bofu, and others are all powerful generals in the world." Cao Cao said: "When Zhongkang meets them, don't worry about whether their family members have a chance to evacuate, just take them away. .”

"I understand what my lord means." Xu Chu replied, "However, if the matter is not completed, how can I come back easily? Please also send me there this time, my lord. Not much to be afraid of them."

Cao Cao nodded and said to Xu Chu, "Zhongkang invite Mao Jie here first, and we will talk about your business later."

Unable to get Cao Cao's approval immediately, Xu Chu withdrew in disappointment.

Watching him leave, Cao Cao asked Guo Jia, "Feng Xiaozhen thinks it is appropriate for Zhongkang to intercept Lu Bu's family?"

"Xu Zhongkang is superb in martial arts. Even if he meets Lu Bu, he will not be inferior." Guo Jia said: "It is very appropriate to send him to intercept Lu Bu's family."

Cao Cao frowned: "I'm not worried about Zhongkang's martial arts, what I'm worried about is his temperament. Zhongkang is brave, and I'm afraid that he will only know how to advance but not retreat when he meets the opponent's fierce general. I have defeated Dianwei in Wancheng earlier. , in case he has something wrong again, how can I be in a bad mood?"

"I'll tell General Zhongkang a few words in the future, just to ensure that he won't fall in love with the battle." Guo Jia replied.

With Guo Jia's promise, Cao Cao finally nodded.

Although he agreed to Guo Jia's proposal, he was still worried.

Xu Chu is a fierce general under his command, and he is also the closest general with a foreign surname around him.

It is indeed too risky for Xu Chu to stop Lu Bu's family.

Seeing that Cao Cao was still worried, Guo Jia said, "My lord, it is no small matter to stop Lu Bu's family. If we can plunder all his family members, we can control Lu Bu in the future, and make him be cautious no matter what he does. Dealing with Lu Bu will also be easier. .”

"If Zhongkang meets an enemy general, what should I ask Zhongkang to do?" Cao Cao asked.

Guo Jia replied: "When you meet a fierce enemy general, it would be best if you can find a chance to kill Lu Bu's family. If there is no chance, just withdraw."

Cao Cao nodded.

The two were talking, when Xu Chu walked in: "My lord, I have invited Mao Jie here."

"Let him come in and talk." Cao Cao ordered.

Xu Chu backed out again, but after a while, he led in a thin middle-aged scribe.

The scribes followed Xu Chu into the study, and greeted Cao Cao and Guo Jia respectively: "Dare to ask my lord, is there something important to call me here?"
