And the envoy over there was already looking for them like crazy, but there was no one there. Cao Cao's men who came to meet him also arrived. The two parties met and learned that Sima Yi was missing. They were all panicked. They not only searched the city, but also

I went out of the city to look for it, but it was like a mud cow entering a river, where could I look for it?!

After searching randomly for a few days, I had to return to Xu Du in despair.

Cheng Yu got the news and said to Cao Cao: "My lord! Xuzhou has Sima Yi again, which is more powerful than a tiger. The top priority is to search for him all the way. If he encounters him, he will kill him. At the same time, he must write to Yuan Shao. If Yuan Shao destroys Sima's family, he will be killed."

Sima Yi must hate the Lu family, and they cannot tolerate each other. Although they got Sima, they did not dare to use it and could not use it. Xuzhou was in vain. If Sima Yi was killed, it would be troublesome. If not, there would be future troubles, and Xuzhou would not be able to use it.

If you can’t get up, you’re laying the foundation for a huge disaster!”

Cao Cao was also very depressed and said with a headache: "Sima Yi is both civilized and military. The most rare thing is that it is easy to get the talents of common people and soldiers, but the ability to lead the army is not easy to get. Such talents of a national scholar are indeed worrying. However, now Yuan Shao, why?

Are you willing to obey me?!"

Cheng Yu also sighed when he heard this.

"Yuan Benchu ​​looked down upon the Lu family and his daughter, and the Sima family, because he was extremely powerful, so naturally he did not take the strength of the Lu family and his daughter into consideration. Moreover, he had so many talents under his command that he did not even bother to get another Sima."

Cao Cao said: "So, he may not only not kill the entire Sima family, but also keep them in order to block the relationship between me and the Lu family."

Cheng Yu said: "It's hard to describe Yuan Shao in one word. In this vast world, no one can complain about having too many talents."

But Yuan Shao just felt that he had too many talents.

However, he owns the land of the four states and is the most powerful in the world, so he is the most proud. And he has many talented people under his command, including all the talents in the world, and he can also be proud of the others.

Facing him now, even Cao Cao was a little scared.

"Yuan Shao has already decided the outcome with Gongsun Zan, and is now collecting the remaining troops," Cao Cao said: "And he has recruited most of Gongsun Zan's elite troops to become stronger. Once he collects his troops, he will definitely attack my capital. I won't mention Sima Yi's incident.

, Yuan Shao’s intention is what really worries Cao Cao. At this moment, since Sima Yi has escaped, it is not appropriate to pursue him like this."

Cheng Yu understood and said: "My lord wants to unite with the Lu family. At this moment, it is not appropriate to pursue him too fiercely?"

"The time to recruit Sima Yi or kill him has passed. There is no way to go too far!" Cao Cao is a person who analyzes the pros and cons very well. Therefore, he knows that when the time has passed, it has passed, and he does not worry about it. He will not catch anyone.

In a small way, if you don't let go of a missed opportunity, you will see Yuan Shao's big threat, the biggest threat at the moment.

He is not a person who loses the big due to small things. He is actually very clear-headed. Although he and Xuzhou once fought to the death and had small fights and conflicts, there was a tacit understanding on major matters.

It’s Yuan Shao!

Therefore, at this time, how could Cao Cao and the Lu family become enemies again? Try your best to fight for them. Even if you don't expect them to be obedient and serve as foreign aid, at least when they attack Yuan Shao, Lu Bu will go straight to attack Xudu.<

/p>

Otherwise, he will be completely finished.

When Cheng Yu heard this, his heart sank.

"My lord, that young lady has always made surprises. If Yuan Shao comes, we still have to appease Lu Bu and be careful to prevent Lu Bu from attacking." Cheng Yu said, "Don't underestimate it. If a surprise army comes, everything will stop in Xudu. In addition, inside Xudu,

There is someone who has long wanted to pick up Lu Bu and come to rescue the emperor. If the inside and outside are in harmony, and a gap is found, the consequences will be disastrous!"

The more anxious Cao Cao was, the calmer he became, so he looked around for a moment and said: "Yuan Shao has more than 500,000 troops, and in the battle between Cao and Lu, Cao Cao lost the elite tiger and leopard cavalry. Although they were reorganized, all the elite

Our strength is only about 50,000, and we have to guard against Lu Bu's attack. How can we attack more with less and defeat more with less?!"

This is also the reason why Cao Cao refused to write a letter to Yuan Shao. Firstly, it was impossible for Yuan Shao to put Cao Cao in his eyes anymore. He was ten times more powerful than him. He wanted Yuan Shao to kill the Sima family. Not only would Yuan Shao not listen,

Instead, they laughed at him for being cowardly and afraid of talents. Secondly, he must keep a thin line when doing things. The Sima family is so embarrassed today, in the future...

Therefore, Cao Cao's heart no longer lies with Sima.

A small dispute is a small dispute, but under the general trend, he is very sober.

Cheng Yu said: "Don't worry, my lord. Xuzhou is staring at Jingzhou now. If Xuzhou comes to attack, I might not be able to catch it!"

Cao Cao was worried, and his advisers were naturally worried too.

Xun You and Guo Jia also came to discuss matters.

When Guo Jia learned that Sima Yi had escaped, he sighed: "What a pity."

Xuzhou getting another talented person is really a threat.

"Right now, Lu Bu has captured all the territories in Huainan, and is even approaching Jingzhou. If he captures Jingzhou again, his strength cannot be underestimated!" Cao Cao said, "I'm afraid that when Yuan Shao attacks me, he will help Yuan Shao to destroy me!"

"It's better not to have any grudge against Lu Bu at the moment," Xun You said, "just appease him a little. It's a good thing that Lu Bu focuses on Jingzhou. He needs to be on guard against Liu Biao and Sun Ce. These two can contain Lu Bu, and Yuan Shao's affairs must be resolved."

If you don’t come with all your strength, nothing will happen!”

Cao Cao said: "It's a pity that Lu Bu was not destroyed back then, but now he is in great trouble! Alas."

When the three of them recalled the past, they were inevitably worried and became even more threatening, like a shadow.

"Feng Xiao, what do you think we should do now?" Cao Cao said.

Compared with Xun You and Cheng Yu, Guo Jia has a better view of the overall situation. Although Xun You and Cheng Yu have many plans, they are not as understanding of people's hearts and the overall situation as Guo Jia.

Seeing Cao Cao asking for advice, Guo Jiaqi said: "Befriend Sun Ce, Liu Biao, Zhang Xiu, Liu Bei, etc. Although these four people attack each other, they can also contain Lu Bu and Xuzhou. At the same time, he made good friends with Lu Bu and fought with him against Yuan Shao.

I would rather take advantage of the geographical advantage than give him the opportunity to attack Xudu. The young lady also has this intention. At this moment, the situation north of the Yellow River is also her top priority."

Cao Cao nodded, and Xun You and Cheng Yu had the same interpretation.

"The Lu family has conquered all the territory in Huainan and has the jade seal in hand. How can they not frighten Sun Ce, Liu Biao, Liu Bei, and Zhang Xiu?! There must be a master in Jingzhou. Liu Biao is old. There are external and internal troubles, and Liu Bei wants to get it.

Zhang Xiu wants to get it, and Sun Ce wants to get it even more. However, Lu Bu has calmed down and has not moved yet. However, Liu Biao's eldest son Liu Qi has fled to Xuzhou, and the Lu family has another hostage, who will be able to control Jingzhou," Guo Jiadao:

"Lü Bu is a common threat to the four of them. If Lü Bu moves outside Jingzhou, the four of them will be frightened. If Lü Bu returns to Xuzhou, the four of them will attack each other and cannot tolerate each other. At this time, if Liu Biao knows that Liu Qi is in Xuzhou, what will he think?

?!"

"The purpose of being filial is to prevent any of the four of them from forming an alliance with Lu Bu?!" Cao Cao said.

"Yes. If Lü Bu is blocked from joining forces, he will be alone. No matter how strong he is, he will not have a grudge with Cao Yuan at the same time. If Yuan Shao despises Lü, Lü Ze will definitely make peace with his lord." Guo Jiadao: "Liu Biao knows that Liu Qi is in Xuzhou, so he must know that Lü Bu

Deeply speaking, he would never make peace with Lu Bu again, and he would be resentful in his heart. At the moment, Lu Bu was just waiting for Liu Biao to bow his head and ask for help, while meddling in Jingzhou's internal affairs. However, with Liu Bei here now, Liu Biao would never make peace with Lu Bu again. What happened with Kuang Shouchun?

In front of him, Liu Biao never wants to become the second Yuan Shu..."

"He must trust Liu Bei." Cao Cao said.

Cheng Yu said: "If Liu Biao and Liu Bei had no foreign enemies, they would not tolerate each other. If there were foreign enemies, they would work together. This is in line with Liu Bei's intention. He wants to eat in Jingzhou."

Xun You also nodded in agreement.

"Liu Bei has few soldiers, so he may lose his position as governor of Guangling." Guo Jiadao said: "He will put all his energy into Jingzhou, so the two of them can resist Sun Ce and Zhang Xiu together."

"My lord, why don't you write a letter to Zhang Xiu? If he is willing to surrender, my lord will get help." Guo Jiadao: "He originally went to Liu Biao, but now he attacks Jingzhou instead. His back is broken, and he refuses to form an alliance with Lu Bu.

Once he can't hold Xiangyang, he will definitely run away!"

Cao Cao said: "That's right. Cao Cao sent a letter to Zhang Xiu."

"Zhang Xiu resents Lu Bu. If he is willing to surrender, he will be the main force in attacking Lu Bu in the future." Cheng Yu said: "Although Zhang Xiu is useless, Jia Xu unexpectedly abandoned him and went to Xuzhou. It is also unpredictable."<

/p>

When the lord tried to recruit him, he refused. I thought he had a deep affection for Zhang Xiu. Because Zhang Xiu obeyed his words, his situation was different from Chen Gong. Chen Gong and Lu Bu would not listen to this.

But I didn’t expect that there is nothing that can stop a counselor from choosing a leader.

"Liu Biao and Liu Bei will be able to defend Jingzhou temporarily if they work together. I'm afraid Lu Bu won't be able to take advantage of Jingzhou's affairs even if he wants to." Guo Jiadao said: "If Jingzhou is leveled, Liu Biao and Liu Bei will definitely be fighting. And Sun Ce hates Lu Bu deeply. Lord.

It would be best to form an alliance with him. Jia was afraid that although Sun Ce hated Lu Bu, he hated Liu Biao even more. If it was difficult to conquer Jingzhou for a while, it would be inappropriate to form an alliance with Lu Bu to attack Jingzhou. Although the lord cannot control the southern territory at the moment, he must break the

It is best to make an alliance, lest once they stick to each other, if they join forces with the princes, it will be detrimental to everyone!"

Cao Cao was shocked, nodded and said, "Cao Cao must send the letter."

So many people are old enemies. However, with the emperor in hand, when they cannot be eliminated, they must form an alliance with them to prevent them from forming an alliance.

Cheng Yu said: "I think Xuzhou wants to form an alliance with Liu Biao."

Xun You said: "It's a pity that Liu Biao refused to pay attention to the Lu family. Although the Lu family is tyrannical, it makes people fearful. On the contrary, it makes Liu Biao and others fearful and untrustworthy."

After all, he is a person whose credit is bankrupt. If he becomes arrogant for a while, the possibility of a good alliance in the end is not high.

But Cao Cao didn't think so, and just said: "With her here, we can't take it lightly! Besides, Cao Cao has a bad reputation, and he is still notorious. Everyone has weaknesses, Cao is no exception, and Lu Bu is no exception. He will no longer

If it continues to grow, it will only become a bigger disaster if more people defect to it."

Guo Jia is well aware of this.

"My lord, Lu Xian is so anxious to ask Sima Yi to go. Jia Wei is afraid that she has other plans. I have been thinking about what this means for the past few days." Guo Jiadao: "After much thought, there is only one possibility."

Cao Cao, Xun You and Cheng Yu all looked at him.

Guo Jia has suffered losses from Lu Xian, so it is impossible for him to underestimate Lu Xian's intentions. In this regard, Xun You and Cheng Yu are far less threatening to her than Guo Jia.

"I got the news yesterday that Chen Deng has gone to Guangling. Liu Bei will withdraw his troops and go to protect Jingzhou with all his strength. If he intends to stay in Jingzhou, then Chen Deng must have surrendered to the Lu family and will take over Guangling. If Sima Yi leaves, Lu Xian will definitely reuse him. She spent so much time

If he wants to seize the Sima family even if he wants to arouse hatred, he will definitely use him. Jia thought that he wanted Sima Yi to assist Lu Bu." Guo Jiadao.

"How dare she?!" Cao Cao was surprised and said, "How can Lu Bu help this person?! This person will not listen to his words and will not follow his advice. Chen Gong was helpless back then."

"So he needs Sima Yi to mobilize troops and generals, not as an adviser." Guo Jiadao: "And Sima Yi is talented enough to do the job."

Cao Cao couldn't sit still. He stood up and wandered around and said: "This little girl is so amazing. She wants to escape. She separates an army and forms a new division, intending to go north."

"Yes, this woman's talent is not inferior to anyone's. If she is tied to Lu Bu, she will be Feicai. If she raises another army, Lu Bu is tyrannical and Lu Xian is tyrannical. The effect of one plus one is greater than two, and the power is
