At The Beginning of The Game, The Five Tiger Generals Were Intercepted

At the beginning, Guo Jia predicted that Liu Bei would never want to live under others for a long time, and advised Cao Cao to get rid of him as soon as possible.

It's a pity that Cao Cao was deceived by Liu Bei's lack of ambition, and coupled with Liu Bei's clan status, Cao Cao relaxed his guard against Liu Bei.

The retribution came very quickly, and Liu Bei asked for orders to intercept Yuan Shu, but when he arrived in Xuzhou, he supported himself and confronted Cao Cao openly.

In order not to suffer from the enemy on both sides, Cao Cao personally led the army to conquer, Liu Bei was defeated in a row, and Cao Cao quickly recovered Xuzhou.

It's a pity that Liu Bei was not caught and let him escape to Jizhou.

Although Cao Cao won the victory in the end, Liu Bei's rebellion greatly consumed Cao Cao's food and grass.

When Cao Cao returned to Junguandu, the problem of insufficient food and grass immediately appeared.

Fifty thousand troops were dispatched to conquer Xuzhou, but when they went to Guandu, Cao Cao only brought more than 20,000 people.

If it wasn't for Liu Bei's sudden rebellion, Cao Cao would be able to lead at least 50,000 troops to defend against the enemy.

Relying on Guo Jia's ingenious strategy, Cao Cao frequently took the lead in the early stage and gained a huge advantage.

But in the end, the few beat the crowd, and there is an insurmountable gap between more than 20,000 people and 100,000 people.

This also made Cao Cao almost hate Guandu.

Fortunately, following Xu You's rebellion, Cao Cao succeeded in attacking Wuchao and won the final victory.

It's a pity that Liu Bei, who is like a loach, completely made Cao Cao helpless.

Cao Cao was able to defeat Yuan Shao and wipe out 100,000 Yuan's army, but he couldn't catch Liu Bei.

If he had known that there would be today's situation, Cao Cao would never have held back!

"Feng Xiao, it's all my fault for being careless and not listening to your advice..."

Guo Jia looked sideways, but he didn't expect Cao Cao to take the initiative to admit his mistake.

This was the first time he had seen him admit his mistake since he joined Cao Cao.

"My lord, don't say that! Liu Bei is nothing more than a clown, and the army will surely be defeated!"

Guo Jia attaches great importance to Liu Bei, otherwise he would not persuade Cao Cao to get rid of him as soon as possible.

But if he was to fight Liu Bei on the battlefield, Guo Jia really didn't take him seriously.

Cao Cao nodded wearily. In fact, he didn't pay much attention to Liu Bei, but the repeated bad news made him a little disheartened.

"Feng Xiao, Liu Bei is just suffering from scabies, which is nothing to worry about! But if Yuan Shao and Xianbei are in trouble at the same time, Liu Bei will become our confidant's serious trouble!"

Whether it is Yuan Shao or the Xianbei people, their attack location will be in Yanzhou, and Cao Cao can lead his army to keep them out of Yingchuan.

But Runan County can't do it. Liu Bei of Runan County can lead his army to attack Xuchang directly.

Cao Cao just killed Dong Cheng and Dong Guiren last year, and many veterans of the Han Dynasty hated him to the bone!

If someone in Xuchang City cooperates with Liu Bei inside and outside, the emperor will be robbed by Liu Bei!

Once the emperor is lost, Cao Cao will immediately lose his righteousness.

At that time, Cao Cao's power will definitely fall apart.

"My lord, don't worry, please allow me to think about it."

Guo Jia ignored the howling Cao Cao, and started pacing the house, thinking about how to deal with this matter.

"Hey…"

Cao Cao didn't say anything, now he can only pin all his hopes on Guo Jia.

Xun Yu also frowned, helping Cao Cao think of countermeasures in his mind.

Cao Cao is related to Xun Yu's great cause of revitalizing the Han Dynasty, and now it is also a situation where all are prosperous and all are hurt.

As long as there is a slight possibility, Xun Yu will not let Cao Cao fall.

But Xun Yu is better at dealing with political affairs and planning strategies. This kind of dealing with the enemy is really not his strong point.

"Hey, it would be great if Gongda was here, he will definitely be able to get rid of this difficulty for the Lord..."

Xun Yu let out a sigh, and couldn't help but miss that nephew who was older than him.

Xun You is good at military strategy, and Xun Yu is good at internal affairs. The two uncles and nephews of the Xun family are the best partners.

It's a pity that Xun You followed Liu Zhang to Shu, and is still Liu Zhang's chief adviser.

"Wen Ruo, the Xun family's foundation is in Yingchuan, can you write a letter to recall Gongda?"

"This Sikong can guarantee that what Liu Zhang can give him, this Sikong will give him twice as much!"

Cao Cao is very clear about Xun You's talent.

Especially after getting the allegiance of Xun Yu, I often lamented that I didn't get Xun You.

Xun Yu shook his head without hesitation, and didn't even bother to think.

"My lord, Gongda's heart is as firm as iron. Liu Zhang has a kindness to him, which cannot be shaken by words!"

"The sea can dry up, the stone can rot, and the heart of justice will never be shaken!"

In Xun Yu's view, the difficulty of recruiting Xun You is no less difficult than ascending to heaven.

When Xun You left, he took his mother away, which completely cut off his retreat.

Unless Liu Zhang took the initiative to drive Xun You away, even if Liu Zhang died, Xun You would stay in Yizhou and continue to assist Liu Zhang's son.

"Damn Liu Zhang, he ran to Yizhou by himself and took Gongda away!"

"Damn, hate, hate, what a pity!"

Cao Cao showed a look of regret, and he couldn't let go of the loss of such a talent.

Zhao Yun, Dian Wei, Tai Shici, Zhang Liao, Xu Huang, which one is not the current tiger general?

But they were all from humble backgrounds, all of them were taken away by Liu Zhang in advance!

Cao Cao once asked Wei Ji about Xu Huang, but Wei Ji's answer surprised Cao Cao.

Liu Zhang seemed to have opened his eyes, without any understanding at all, he could be sure that Xu Huang was a general!

Cao Cao was only lucky that Liu Zhang did not develop in the Central Plains, otherwise all the talents in the Central Plains would be hollowed out by Liu Zhang!

"Your Majesty, don't be angry. Yizhou and Liangzhou are after all the bitter cold places on the frontier, and they are completely incomparable with the Central Plains!"

"As long as we can defeat Yuan Shao and occupy Hebei in the Central Plains, we will not be afraid of Liu Zhang at all."

Although Yizhou is large, it is sparsely populated after all, not to mention Yongzhou and Liangzhou. The two states together are not as good as Yizhou.

If you can occupy Hebei in the Central Plains, you can occupy the eight states of Ji, Bing, You, Qing, Yan, Yu, Xu, and Si!

Even in terms of population alone, Liu Zhang can be completely suppressed.

Even the Yanzhou, Yuzhou, Xuzhou, Sizhou, and part of Qingzhou and part of Yangzhou that Cao Cao now occupies, the population and talents are definitely not comparable to Liu Zhang who only occupies Yizhou.

There are many aristocratic families in the Central Plains, and their help to Cao Cao is by no means comparable to that of Yizhou aristocratic families!

It's a pity that Xun Yu's rhetoric did not touch Cao Cao at all, and even made him more sad.

Not to mention defeating Yuan Shao and annexing Hebei, even the Central Plains will be lost now!

Cao Cao even thought that it would be better to let the Xianbei people return to the desert, so that Yuan Shao could be threatened and he would not dare to send troops recklessly!

But can everything go as he wishes?

Liu Zhang is so treacherous, since he is ready to drive away tigers and wolves, how can he easily let the Xianbei people go back?

I'm afraid Liu Zhang gave the Xianbei people a way to go east, but he didn't give them a chance to retreat north.

Cao Cao turned his head to look at Guo Jia who was pacing constantly. All his hopes now were pinned on him!

This young and frivolous conspiring prodigal son!
