"Tsk tsk!"

And all of this was seen clearly by the secret guards in Cao Cao's army through spirit beasts. After watching, Yi Jiu could not help but shake his head: "Cao Cao is worthy of being Cao Cao! This method, this brain, is really something!"

"No wonder the master didn't let us lurk too close to this person! Everything has a reason!"

"Clearly, the master knows his friend's brain and suspicion very well;"

"If we really lurked too close to this person, we might really be discovered by him."

Thinking of this, Yi Jiu felt very fortunate.

"I must tell the master this news as soon as possible! It seems the Battle of Guandu between Cao Cao and Yuan Shao is about to end!"

"I must let the master be prepared!"

Thinking this, Yi Jiu immediately recorded the intelligence in detail and sent it to Xiangyang using a golden eagle.

In Xiangyang,

Su Xuan received the intelligence a few hours later. He opened it, looked at it, and could not help but be happy: "You are worthy of being you! Cao Mengde! You can think of such an insidious and vicious strategy! It is their bad luck that Liu Bei, Xu You, and Yuan Shao are up against you!"

"Eh?"

Guo Jia on the side could not help but ask curiously: "Why does the master say this? Has Cao Cao done something wicked again?"

"Could it be that the matter of him giving Liu Bei a green hat was discovered by Guan Yu?"

"Not really!"

Su Xuan shook his head with a smile, handed the intelligence in his hand to Guo Jia, and exhorted: "As for the matter of Cao Cao giving Liu Bei a green hat, try to talk less about it for now! We might not be able to tell Guan Yu this news in the future."

"Alright!"

Guo Jia nodded knowingly upon hearing this, indicating he understood.

Then, he took the intelligence and read it quickly.

"Hiss!"

Immediately, Guo Jia could not help but gasp and sigh: "This Cao Cao... is ruthless enough! Master, you are right! It is indeed their bad luck for eight lifetimes that Yuan Shao and the others encountered Cao Cao!"

"Especially that Xu You! In vain, he always claimed to be extremely clever, but did he calculate that he would be plotted against to this extent?"

"However, this seems to be a good thing for us, right?"

"Let Cao Cao and Yuan Shao end their standoff early, let Yuan Shao be defeated, and then Cao Cao can attack Jizhou and even Youzhou, and take the three northern provinces;"

"After he completely takes the three provinces of You, Ji, and Qing, the time will be about right!"

"At that time, it will be the time for us to have a decisive battle with him and settle the world in one battle. What do you think, Master?"

Continuing to let Yuan Shao and Cao Cao stand off and consume each other is not a good thing for the people of the Central Plains and the three northern provinces.

A standoff between large armies requires the constant consumption of large amounts of money and grain.

And where do these things come from?

The aristocratic families?

A part of it, maybe!

But most of it was forcibly collected from countless common people by Yuan Shao and Cao Cao's grain-collecting armies.

The longer it drags on, the more miserable the people of the three Central Plains provinces and the three northern provinces will be.

At that time, more people will starve to death.

This is not what Su Xuan wants to see.

He would rather Cao Cao be stronger because of this and preserve more strength and foundation, than see too many common people suffer in this process.

These are all the foundations for his future unification of the world and even the entire world, and his conquest of the Heavens and Myriad Worlds.

The more people, the better.

Just a few days ago, Gan Ning and the others in Annan had already sent good news that they had captured most of the cities in Annan and were cleansing the indigenous people of Annan.

I believe that in a few more months, Annan will be completely incorporated into Su Xuan's territory.

At that time, with the high-quality rice cultivated by Su Xuan, and planting a large amount of rice in Annan and Jiaozhou, he and even the entire Great Han will not lack grain!

And there will be no need to worry about having too many people under his rule and not enough grain to feed them!

"Hmm!"

Therefore, Su Xuan nodded in agreement upon hearing Guo Jia's words: "This is also what I thought! Therefore, I let Cao Cao act like this!"

"I can only say that Mengde's ability and brain are also top-tier! He didn't miss the opportunity I created for him at all! Hehe!"
