Cao Cao, who was far away in Shouchun, was always inquiring about Liu Bei. After seeing Liu Bei enter Jingzhou, he felt that Liu Bei would definitely be excluded by the local forces in Jingzhou. In the end, he could not get anything and could only guard the door for Liu Biao.

And so is the case.

After Cao Cao learned that Liu Bei was sent to Xinye by Liu Biao, he laughed to the sky: "Big ear thief, you are the fate of a guardian dog. This is the case for the orphans, and it is the case for Liu Jingsheng. You will be like this in this life."

Cheng Yu came out and said, "Lord, I'll find out that Jingzhou is not peaceful now. Liu Jingsheng seems to be seriously ill. I'm afraid Liu Bei will be scrambling for trouble. Tao Gongzu's affairs are vivid in my mind."

Cao Cao disagreed: "Zhongde, don't worry about this. The reason why Liu Bei was able to get Xuzhou back then was because he received the support and surrender of the Xuzhou family. In addition, Tao Qian insisted that Liu Bei inherit Xuzhou before his death for his descendants. Under so many conditions, Xuzhou changed hands with Liu Bei. Now Liu Bei is no longer as usual. Cai Degui would not let Liu Bei develop in Jingzhou, and Liu Jingsheng was not as weak as he looked on the surface, but was cruel inside. Gu felt that Liu Jingsheng was probably pretending to be sick in order to pave the way for his son's future succession."

"Lord is wise!" Cheng Yu was convinced by Cao Cao.

Guo Jia said slowly, "Lord, there are restless people in Jingzhou."

Cao Cao instantly understood, but he was very confident and said, "Even if someone supports Liu Bei, what can Liu Bei do? Sun Ce from Jiangdong has been staring at Jingzhou. It would probably not be so easy for Liu Bei to get Jingzhou. Liu Bei is Gu's defeated general, and Gu wants to destroy him!"

Guo Jia's mouth twitched, and he wanted to say lord, you can destroy Liu Bei, but he would run away every time.

Guo Jia admired Liu Bei very much. A shabby person who sells straw sandals has never fallen through the Yellow Turban Rebellion. After many failures, he can rise up again. He is simply an undead cockroach. If it weren't for the bad luck, Liu Bei might be able to be equal to Cao Cao today.

But there are not so many ifs in the world.

"Lord, Liu Bei is a small disease, and his current confidant is Liu Boxuan's strategy to Yanzhou." Xun Yu hurriedly spread the topic. The focus of today's discussion is Liu Yu's attack on Yanzhou.

Cao Cao knew who his main enemy was now, and asked, "What are the reports about Yuan Rang, Miaocai and others?"

"According to General Yuan Rang's return, the Yanzhou war was attacked by the enemy's army's large army due to Liu Boxuan's birth. At the same time, the Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry led by Lu Bu also retreated under General Miaocai's defense and is now missing. General Zilian guarded Xiaopei, defeated Guan Yu many times, and Zhao Yun's attacks steadily defended the eastern barrier of Yanzhou. All units of our army in Yanzhou are catching time to repair and build defensive fortifications, but the problems of troops and food and grass have begun to emerge. General Yuan Rang asked for reinforcements from his lord." Cheng Yu talked about the situation in Yanzhou one by one.

"Liu Boxuan held his birthday to use this to boost morale and restore the soldiers' physical strength. Otherwise, it would be strange if he could be so extravagant with his stingy virtue." Cao Cao said jokingly.

"Lord, Liu Boxuan will definitely increase his attack on Yanzhou. Our army is short of strength and food. If we don't want to come up with good plans, Yanzhou will probably not be protected." Cheng Yu is still concerned about the issue of food and food.

Cao Cao was in a dilemma all of a sudden, and the current situation was really unfavorable to him. His offense and defense with Liu Yu in Yanzhou had almost completely compensated Cao Cao's family. Now it was really difficult for him to take out his extra troops and food.

He couldn't think of a solution, and there were still a lot of capable ministers and wise men. Cao Cao asked his counselors: "Everyone, do you have any good ideas?"

"There may be still food stored among the people, can we collect it from them?" Xun You suggested.

"No, now that the young and yellow people are not in the process of reserving food, the people rely on the little food to survive. If they are collected, they will definitely rebel. They will give others an opportunity to take advantage of it!" Xun Yu immediately objected.

Xun You was refuted by his cousin, but he didn't know what to say next.

Xun Yu glared at him viciously. Now that he put this idea, do you want Cao Cao to perish?

Cao Cao also looked solemn and sent additional levies to the people. That was a matter of self-destruction. If the people rebel, no need for others to remind them, Liu Yu would do his best to attack.

"Lord, there is not much surplus grain in the treasury. Maybe we can collect some soldiers from the powerful families? These powerful families have their own private soldiers, so let them provide them with it!" Guo Jia smiled and proposed another solution.

Cao Cao's eyes lit up, yes, the people are poor, but this powerful family is so rich.

"I'm afraid that those people will ask for money, so I won't agree." Cheng Yu sneered.

"It is certain that we refuse. We can persuade each other with kind words, move them with emotion, and explain them with reason." Guo Jia continued.

Cao Cao rubbed his eyes. This was the one he knew Guo Fengxiao? No, did Guo Fengxiao make such sense? Could it be that Guo Jia was sick today?

Guo Jia saw Cao Cao's actions. He just did it on purpose, so he changed the subject and said, "If they still refuse after finishing the truth, then they can only use their swords. We must use virtue to convince people when doing things. If they do not speak morally, we don't have to be kind and righteous."

Cao Cao knew that he had been fooled by Guo Jia and laughed and scolded: "I know that you, a prodigal son, are not such a rigid person!"

"Did the lord agree?" Guo Jia didn't care.

"I'm sure! Another point is that Wen Ruo sends an envoy to Jiangdong and Jingzhou to let these two places contribute money and food to the emperor!" Cao Cao ordered.

Everyone present understood and secretly praised Cao Cao's mind as fast as he could.

"As for the issue of military strength, I ordered the prefects to recruit bandits and bandits below him, and do extraordinary things at an extraordinary time!" Cao Cao, who was thinking about it, thought of another way.

"The lord is wise!" everyone exclaimed.

After solving the problem, Cao Cao began to drive people away and said, "Okay, let's go down. Zhongde stayed!"

After everyone else left, Cao Cao asked Cheng Yu, "Have you arranged all the family members?"

"Don't worry, lord, Yu Gongze's family has been arranged and given enough money and food to live in the second half of their lives." Cheng Yu replied.

"Okay, if it weren't for the public, I wouldn't have pushed him out!" As Liu Yu said, Cao Cao really pushed Yu Jin as a scapegoat to appease Liu Yu's anger.

"Don't blame yourself, lord, I believe that if you know about it, you will definitely forgive me." Cheng Yu comforted.

"I hope! The world's general trend is no longer the same as I am alone, and I feel exhausted! I really want to take a break." Cao Cao sighed.

Cheng Yu wanted to say something, but Cao Cao asked him to leave. Cheng Yu had no choice but to leave without disturbing Cao Cao's rest.
