Chapter 1293

"What we need to do now is to stabilize the situation and launch an attack once the opportunity is ripe!"

"But... but..."

Cao Cao's face showed an anxious expression after hearing Guo Jia's plan, but he did not know how to refute it.

What Guo Jia said was indeed reasonable, but Cao Cao was still unwilling in his heart.

"But what?" Guo Jia asked.

"I think we should take Gu Yi's head first. We cannot let Gu Yi continue to be arrogant, otherwise, there will be endless trouble."

Guo Jia fell silent after hearing Cao Cao's words.

He felt the same way in his heart; Gu Yi's forces were too formidable. If Gu Yi were not eliminated, Cao Cao would never be able to rest easy.

But he did not dare to act without authorization.

"Guo Jia, what can I do to eliminate Gu Yi?" Cao Cao asked.

"This..."

Guo Jia pondered; he also did not know how to answer Cao Cao.

Seeing Guo Jia not speaking, Cao Cao said: "Speak. If there are any difficulties, just say them. Although I, Cao Cao, am not a towering hero, I can still bear the consequences."

"Thank you, my lord. Subordinate will not hide it from you: if my lord truly wants to eliminate Gu Yi, there is only the most direct way, which is to dispatch a large number of elites to surround and kill those few people around Gu Yi, and then execute them all," Guo Jia said.

"Oh, you mean for me to dispatch a large number of elites to surround and kill those few people around Gu Yi, and then execute them all?" Cao Cao frowned.

"Yes!" Guo Jia nodded: "If we can behead them all, Gu Yi will no longer have any reliance, and then our Cao camp can easily take him down and completely drive him out of Jingzhou!"

"If Gu Yi truly dies, then those few people around him will surely lose their backing, and then our Cao camp can easily recover the entire Jingzhou, and we can also behead Gu Yi and execute all those people around him!"

A glimmer of excitement flashed in Guo Jia's eyes as he said this; he seemed to have already seen the scene of himself ruling the entire Jingzhou.

Cao Cao fell into deep thought after hearing Guo Jia's words.

After a long while, Cao Cao looked up and said: "You are right. If we can kill everyone around Gu Yi, we will have an absolute advantage, and we can also kill everyone around Gu Yi."

"If we can take advantage of the chaos to eliminate those around Gu Yi and wipe out all of Gu Yi's forces, I can completely control Jingzhou!"

Speaking of this, a ferocious expression appeared on Cao Cao's face, clearly pushed to the limit by Gu Yi.

Guo Jia nodded in appreciation after hearing Cao Cao's plan: "My lord is wise!"

"I will immediately summon all the officials to discuss the matter and prepare for action!" Cao Cao ordered.

After finishing, Cao Cao left the military camp and headed toward the tents of the officials in the Cao camp.

Meanwhile, Gu Yi was also holding a meeting with the military.

"Everyone, the situation is very critical now. If we do not take action, we will likely be gradually eroded by Cao Cao's men, and we will become very passive."

"The only way now is to take the initiative, prevent Cao Cao's men from occupying a favorable position, and then take the opportunity to annihilate Cao Cao!"

"Moreover, Cao Cao is already secretly mobilizing a large number of troops to deal with us. This matter cannot be hidden, and I believe it will soon spread throughout Jingzhou, and we will become the target of public criticism!"

"So we must make a choice: whether we should take the initiative to attack or wait for an opportunity to let the enemy take the initiative to attack," Gu Yi proposed.

After hearing Gu Yi's words, everyone fell into deep thought.

"If we continue to hide, Cao Cao will sooner or later discover our tracks."

"But if we take the initiative to attack, it will likely arouse Cao Cao's vigilance."

"If we want to preserve our strength, we can only temporarily avoid Cao Cao's attack, wait until they think we are at our wit's end, and then take the initiative to attack!"

"But we cannot wait too long. It is best for us to launch an attack as soon as possible, otherwise, it will be easy for Cao Cao to discover us," Gu Yi said.

"My lord, I think we can strike first. We don't have to wait for Cao Cao to attack us; we can take the initiative to launch an attack," Guo Jia said.

"Hmm, we can strike first and take away all the troops in Cao Cao's hands," Gu Yi said: "In that case, we can take the initiative to attack and then behead Cao Cao outside the city, winning a greater chance of victory for us."

Gu Yi's suggestion was simple and crude, but very effective.

"Good! Since that's the case, let's proceed according to the lord's plan!"

"Pass the order to all officials: have them immediately mobilize troops and horses. We will launch an attack immediately and must resolve Cao Cao."

"Yes!"

When Gu Yi's order was issued, everyone began to get busy.

And Gu Yi also brought all his troops, preparing to head toward Cao Cao's station to attack.

Around Cao Cao's station, there were a large number of Cao Cao's elites.

Although these people were only tens of thousands, they were all elites in Cao Cao's hands.

These people were all elites; they were not only brave and skilled in battle but also very smart, and they were the most loyal people around Cao Cao.

Cao Cao dispersed them into many teams and set up ambushes at every key location, which was very well-positioned! ===== CHAPTER 1294 =====
