In the fourth year of Jian'an, Yuan Shao finally defeated Gongsun Zan.

According to Youzhou, Jizhou, Qingzhou, Bingzhou, the entire Hebei area is owned, and the troops are reorganized in a very short time and gathered in Yecheng.

All of these were expected by Zhou Yang. He had already personally gone to Puyang to discuss strengthening the arrangement with Yu Jin. At the same time, the intelligence network between Peng Yiyuan and Wu Xiaodong was concentrated in Hebei. In addition, hundreds of Black Mountain disciples such as Zhang Yan, Guo Daxian and Bairao Four Divine Soldiers were also sent to various key strongholds.

When Cao Cao won the battle against Lu Bu in Xuzhou, Zhou Yang also returned to Xudu.

Although Zhou Yang cares very much about the situation of Lu Lingqi's family, these are all private affairs of their children after all. Compared with the upcoming war between the two major groups in the north and south, it has become insignificant.

After hearing Zhou Yang's words, Cao Cao was not very surprised, but took out a letter from his arms and handed it to him.

Zhou Yang opened the book collection and saw a lot of ancient Chinese texts, Zhang Zhi, Fei Bai, and I don’t know which font of ancient Chinese are displayed in front of him. He was dazzled by his eyes, so he had to hand over the letter to Guo Jia who was beside him.

Guo Jia saw his thoughts and said, "Actually, this letter is a nonsense, and the meaning is just the last sentence, and he advised Cao Gong to join forces with his army and to conquer the world together, and to lose the devastation of the people."

Zhou Yang thought that this might be a good choice. If the Cao and Yuan families cooperated, the world would have to be ready, but it immediately gave up this idea.

That's it, but that's not the case.

Cao Cao had a political advantage, while Yuan Shao was more than ten times stronger than Cao Cao.

If the two major groups merge, Emperor Xian of Han will naturally be held by Yuan Shao from then on, and Cao Cao will obey Yuan Shao from then on, and the consequences may be even worse.

Yuan Shao's purpose in this letter was not to cooperate, but to make Cao Cao surrender without fighting.

After reading the letter, Guo Jia looked at Zhou Yang and asked, "Does Zhou have any suggestions?"

Zhou Yang told the truth about his time that he had traveled to various strongholds south of the Yellow River and their arrangements.

"You kid also knows military arrangements at any time, it's not easy!" Cao Cao praised.

"I'm just planning ahead, and the ones who really set up defenses are Yu Jin and Liu Yan." Zhou Yang hurriedly said Xuqian.

"At least, our Cao son-in-law is also very prescient, and he actually sees that Yuan Shao is preparing to go south." Guo Jia said with a smile.

"Yuan Shao is ambitious and is also a very smart person. I have been playing with him since I was a child and knows each other very well," Cao Cao said. "So the war between the north and the south is only a matter of time, but I am not sure about it."

Zhou Yang had the preconceived idea of ​​Cao victory and Yuan defeat, and heard this and said strangely: "How could you not be sure? My father-in-law will win this battle."

Cao Cao said: "There is such a huge difference in the strength of the enemy and us. Where do you get the confidence?"

Zhou Yang's mind was very fast and he immediately replied: "Of course it was Mr. Xun Yu's ten defeats and ten victory."

Cao Cao asked with great interest: "Which ten defeats? Which ten defeats?"

Zhou Yang was very interested in the two advisers Guo Jia and Xun Yu a long time ago, and proved them in history books.

It turns out that the ten defeats and ten victory theory that truly gave Cao Cao the confidence to defeat Yuan Shao was actually Xun Yu's masterpiece.

Not only that, the reason why Cao Cao was able to establish the entire Northern Wei Dynasty was almost the reason why he was able to build the entire Northern Wei Dynasty was that Xun Yu, the genius, planned a complete set of strategic paths for him.

Therefore, Zhou Yang immediately expressed the ten defeats and ten victory one by one, which was very simple for him and could almost memorize them.

What are the sayings of Taoism, righteousness, governance, victory, victory in victory, victory in planning, victory in virtue, etc., which made Cao Cao and Guo Jia look flickering.

After hearing this, Cao Cao even slammed the table and said, "Mr. Xun not only planned this battle for us, but also recommended a large number of talents before. If I unified Hebei in the future, I will definitely use this person."

Zhou Yang was not at all happy because he knew very well that when Cao Cao really unified Hebei, or even the world, it was when Xun Yu left.

Xun Yu and Cao Cao were both loyal and loyal to the emperor, and they were completely a person with two extreme ideas.

Seeing his worry-prone look, Guo Jia asked, "Does Zhou Taishou have anything to add?"

Zhou Yang came to his senses, and thought of another question at the same time, and asked: "By the way, why didn't the lord come back to attack Lu Bu this time?"

"You kid has been paying attention to Liu Bei since the Sishui Alliance. How could I not put some effort into him?" Cao Cao sneered, "This person is indeed very cunning and very amazing. When I was in Xudu, I sent someone to observe him secretly, but he pretended to be inaction, and even pretended not to say anything about the saint."

"Kill Liu Bei?" Zhou Yang was filled with joy.

Cao Cao was able to kill Zhang Miao who helped him like this, but now he dares to use outsiders such as Zhu Yuanduo, Yang Feng and Liu Bei to serve as the army.

Now that he also attaches so much importance to this generation of heroes, he will naturally not let it go easily.

At the same time, I thought of Lu Lingqi's family and wanted to secretly use Cao Cao's personality, but I would never be ruthless.

However, Cao Cao did not answer and looked up and sighed.

Guo Jia didn't help talking, and just fell on the side.

Zhou Yang couldn't help but guess: "Let him run away?"

Cao Cao shook his head and said, "I let him go."

Zhou Yangqi said: "How can my father-in-law let Liu Bei go? This person will be a future trouble in the future!"

Cao Cao said angrily: "Nonsense! Do you think I want to let it go?"

It has been almost ten years since Luoyang followed Cao Cao.

No matter what kind of dilemma he faces or how powerful the enemy he faces, he can be calm.

Even though he was trapped in Wancheng that day and was almost on the verge of despair, he still surprised everyone in the end.

Now it was the first time I saw Cao Cao and was really angry, but Zhou Yang didn't understand the reason.

"In fact, we can't be considered to have nothing." Guo Jia said with a wry smile, "At least we have also made Liu Bei lose his right-hand assistant."

"What does it mean?" Zhou Yang asked in confusion.

"When our army captured Xia Pi City, the lord ordered Lu Bu to behead him, and sent out the most elite killer to assassinate Liu Bei on the battlefield. Just think that he had died in the battlefield!" Guo Jia paused and said, "If it weren't for this, I'm afraid that the person who was assassinated now would be the lord."

"Yes!" Cao Cao sighed, "I still underestimated Liu Bei's strength and actually asked him to attack me first."

After saying this, Zhou Yang probably understood what was going on.

After Guo Jia's detailed explanation, I realized that while Cao Cao sent someone to assassinate Liu Bei, the most capable assistants Guan Yu and Zhang Fei around the other party also began to assassinate Cao Cao.

Both sides have the most powerful killers, and both succeeded again.

The final situation becomes that if Liu Bei is killed, Cao Cao will die with him.

So Cao Cao had no choice but to let Liu Bei go, and he was also freed from being held hostage.

"Is Guan Yu the one who holds his father-in-law hostage? " Zhou Yang asked.

"That's right!" Cao Cao said angrily, "Although Liu Bei ran away, this person stayed, and we will not let him go no matter what."

"Then kill Guan Yu!" Zhou Yang said decisively.

"When the lord saw that this man was able to sacrifice his life to save his master, he remembered General Dian Wei." Guo Jia said.

"My father-in-law respects his loyalty and righteousness, right?" Zhou Yang said suddenly.

"Lord Xicai. In the battle of Xuzhou, in addition to surrendering the powerful general Zhang Liao and the three generals of Hou Song and Wei who helped the inner support, the one who wanted to be used was the one who was the one who wanted to be used!" Guo Jia explained.

Whether in folk legends or historical facts, Guan Yu's extraordinary martial arts cannot be questioned.

This time, he must have used the method of convinced Cao Cao, but was not subdued, that made Cao Cao so angry.

The most regrettable thing is that if Liu Bei runs away, he will inevitably become a strong enemy with a headache in the future.

However, Zhou Yang thought again that before the Battle of Chibi ended and Liu Bei advanced westward to take over the land of Bashu, he was still not yet full of wings.

If you want to get rid of this person, you still have a chance.

Because no one knows the pain of Chibi better than Zhou Yang, it is the fire attack that burned Cao Cao's millions of troops of warships.

As long as you can save the life of Guo Jia, who is the most obedient to Cao Cao and predict the key points of this battle, you can avoid defeat and still change history.

Not only could he eliminate Eastern Wu, but he could also make Liu Bei lose his support. The Cao army instead of Liu Bei turned west to Bashu.

So what is this small failure now?

The most important thing at the moment is not Liu Bei, nor is it a change of history, but a response to Yuan Shao's letter.

"How about we fight Yuan Shao?" Zhou Yang suggested.

"What?" Cao Cao was shocked by the topic of this change and couldn't help asking, "Are you saying you want to refuse to cooperate with Yuan Shao?"

"Yes." Zhou Yang hoped to use this to regain Cao Cao's confidence. At the same time, this was an inevitable battle, so he stood up and said, "In addition to refusing, he also declared war directly on him!"

"Wait a minute." Guo Jia suddenly said, "Since you are going to fight against Yuan Shao, don't refuse this letter, let alone declare war directly."

"What's the trick to worship filial piety?" Cao Cao returned to his original calm attitude and asked calmly, "But it's okay."

"If we go to war with Yuan Shao at present, although Mr. Xun's ten defeats and ten victorys are the theory of ten defeats, looking at the situation in the world, there are still three most unfavorable factors for us." Guo Jia said, "First of all, the two warlords of Xiliang, Mahan, and Han, followed by Zhang Xiu from Wancheng, but the one that caused us the most headache was Jiangdong."

That's true. Cao Cao now has the biggest ace in his hands, which is his political advantage.

If a war with Yuan Shao was started at this time, then Xiliang, Wancheng and Jiangdong would definitely take advantage of the opportunity to attack the rear of Xudu.

With Cao Cao's current strength, it is already unpredictable to deal with Yuan Shao, the number one strong enemy in the north, not to mention the many pressures behind this.
