Chapter 605

In Xu Chang City, Yanzhou,

"Bang!"

Cao Cao received the news of Lu Bu and Liu Bei's peace negotiation and alliance, and immediately slapped the table in anger, indignantly: "Hateful! Hateful! I didn't expect them to form an alliance under such circumstances!"

"Ruining my great cause! In this way, it will be difficult for us to take Xuzhou later!"

"One Lu Bu is already very difficult to deal with. If you add a Liu Bei, it is simply as difficult as ascending to heaven!"

Cao Cao started to have a headache when he said this.

Whether it was Lu Bu or the two generals Guan and Zhang, they were all invincible. None of the generals under his command could compare to these three.

Isn't this making things difficult for him?

"Damn Tao Qian! Damn Liu Bei! Damn Lu Bu! Damn Chen Gong!"

Cao Cao cursed bitterly in his heart.

If it weren't for these people, why would he be so difficult today?

Dealing with Tao Qian was much simpler than dealing with these people.

At this time, Xun Yu frowned and said: "This is completely unlike Lu Bu's style! He was actually able to take the overall situation into account, endure not destroying Liu Bei first, and instead ran to form an alliance with him!"

"This is growing a brain! This is not a good thing!"

A reckless Lu Bu, even if his personal martial arts are invincible in the world, is easy to deal with.

But if an invincible fierce general also grows a brain, this is truly invincible.

Thinking of this, Xun Yu didn't know why Su Xuan's figure suddenly appeared in his mind, and he thought: "Isn't Su Xuan top-notch in both personal martial arts and brain?"

Therefore, Su Xuan is Cao Cao's true great enemy, and also the most difficult to deal with!

Even, after understanding the changes in Jingzhou over the years, Xun Yu didn't know if he could defeat Su Xuan in the future.

Even if Cao Cao occupies all the territory except Jingzhou in the future, the estimate of his strength compared to Su Xuan is probably only between five and five.

"Heh!"

Cao Cao sneered: "Wenruo, you think too much! If you think so, it proves that you still don't understand Lu Bu!"

"It's impossible for him to grow a brain!"

"This is clearly Chen Gong's plan!"

"What I am truly surprised about is that Chen Gong actually persuaded Lu Bu this time. This is the real problem!"

"Logically speaking, it should be impossible for Lu Bu to agree to this kind of thing!"

"But this time Lu Bu exceeded my expectations and really agreed!"

"It seems that the previous setbacks have finally taught Lu Bu something, at least he started to listen to advice! This is troublesome!"

"Do you have any good ways to deal with it?"

"We must take Xuzhou, the sooner the better!"

"Currently, Yuan Shao has taken the entire Jizhou, and has even entered Youzhou!"

"The defeat and death of Gongsun Zan and Liu Yu are just a matter of time! There is not much time left for us!"

"We must take Xuzhou within half a year to be the best, and the limit is within a year!"

Otherwise, he felt that he couldn't keep up with Yuan Shao's development, and it would be difficult to defeat Yuan Shao in the future!

The most critical thing is Su Xuan in the south!

According to the analysis of the scouts' reports, Cao Cao concluded that Su Xuan is expected to cultivate enough officials to support his implementation of the New Policy throughout the world within two or three years.

That is to say, at the latest three years later, Su Xuan will start external expansion and conquest, and it may even be a battle to decide the world.

Therefore, he must take Xuzhou, Jizhou, Youzhou, and other places within two years and control the seven northern provinces.

Then, gather the manpower and material resources of the seven provinces and fully develop and prepare for war for one year, so that he will have the confidence to face Su Xuan's attack.

Of course, this is just an ideal state, and even Cao Cao himself felt that he wanted to achieve this goal within three years, which was simply as difficult as ascending to heaven.

"I just hope that Boyuan will start the conquest from Jiangdong, Jiaozhou, Yizhou, Han Zhong, and even Guanzhong three years later!"

"In this way, maybe he can win me another year or two."

Cao Cao thought with full worry.

At this time, Xun Yu said: "Lord, our food and grass are still not much, and we cannot support long-term conquest! We still have to seek a method of quick victory!"

"I understand!"

Cao Cao nodded: "Does Wenruo have any specific ideas?"

"Yes!"

Xun Yu nodded affirmatively and continued: "Admittedly, Lu Bu and Liu Bei have formed an alliance and are preparing to fight against us together!"

"But this alliance is undoubtedly extremely fragile;"

"Whether it is Lu Bu or Liu Bei, they probably want to defeat the other and occupy Xuzhou completely;"

"The current alliance is just a compromise they had to make under our threat!"

"If this threat is gone, over time, Lu Bu and Liu Bei will inevitably have thoughts and start attacking each other again!"

"Therefore, I think we can temporarily withdraw more than half of the troops on the Xuzhou border and make a gesture of recuperation;"

"Reduce the deterrence to Xuzhou, and at the same time, take advantage of this period to cultivate more and accumulate more food and grass;"

"Time, I think it should be set within 5 months!"

"In addition, during this period, we must also send more people to lurk around Lu Bu and Liu Bei to provoke the relationship between the two sides;"

"Whether it is Lu Bu or Guan Yu and Zhang Fei under Liu Bei, they are all impulsive and irritable people. We can focus on these two people, and I believe it will be effective."

"As long as they break up and fight again, we can sit and reap the benefits again;"

"And, at the critical moment, mobilize troops to launch a lightning strike on Xuzhou, break through the Xuzhou defense line at the fastest speed, sweep across the entire Xuzhou with the speed of lightning, and strive to take Xuzhou within 1 month;"

"In this way, the strategy of taking Xuzhou within half a year that the Lord expects can basically be achieved!"

Having said that, Xun Yu paused and continued: "Of course. This is just the most ideal state, and the best opportunity is not so easy to appear!"

"Even if they break up and start fighting again, if we attack rashly, it will also lead them to negotiate peace and join forces again to fight against us;"

"Therefore, this opportunity must be grasped well!"

"At the same time, the war against Xuzhou must be fast! The faster the better!"

"Good!"

Cao Cao slapped the table and shouted loudly: "Wenruo, you really didn't let me down! Your suggestion is very good! It is very feasible!"

"Let's do as you say! Let's continue to calculate, improve, and then start implementing it!"

"Time waits for no one!"

This is indeed the best way at present.

"Understood!"

Xun Yu immediately took the order and began to discuss the details with Cao Cao.

Even Zhong Yao and others participated one after another.

A lightning war plan and a alienation plan against Xuzhou began to be perfected rapidly.

Half a day later, the news of this plan appeared in Su Xuan's hands.

"Tsk tsk! Xun Yu is really powerful! Did he actually come up with a lightning war? Not bad, not bad! It's a pity that he can't be used by me!"

Su Xuan smacked his lips while looking at the intelligence.

"Lightning war? What did Wenruo come up with?"

Guo Jia and Xun You to the side couldn't help but raise their heads curiously to look at Su Xuan, and Guo Jia couldn't help asking.

"Here... take a look for yourselves! This is the latest intelligence sent back from Xu Chang by the Dark Guards."

Su Xuan didn't explain directly, just handed the intelligence in his hand to the two of them to read.

Guo Jia and the others immediately took the intelligence and gathered together to read it quickly.

Before long, several people read it.

Guo Jia stroked his beard and smiled: "It's a good plan! If we don't interfere, with the tempers of Lu Bu and Zhang Fei, this plan is eight or nine out of ten likely to succeed!"

"It seems that Wenruo has also grown a lot over the years! It's a pity!"

Too stubborn, rejected the Lord at the beginning, and was loyal to the Han.

As a result, the Han orthodoxy was destroyed by the Lord in advance, and a policy of sealing kings and chaotic countries was introduced, completely cutting off the possibility of the Han revival.

Cao Cao is called a king, and the Han orthodoxy is gone, so what choice can Xun Yu make?

I am afraid he can only put down the obsession with the Han in his heart and turn to help Cao Cao succeed wholeheartedly.
