I also laughed and nodded. I thought that Cao Cao was indeed much more understanding than Yuan Shao. This Guo Jia was indeed above Tian Feng. In terms of his magnanimity, Tian Feng could not compare to him. Of course, whether this is the case in history cannot be tested.
.Anyway, now, Guo Jia compares to Tian Feng.
Just listen to Guo Jiadao: "There is another reason why Duke Cao does not want Duke Ming to attack Yuan Benchu. If the general attacks Yuan Benchu, even if he uses the power of the four states and three vassals, he will not be able to compete with him. After all, the general is fighting on all sides and has no time to look north.
Although Cao Gong's military strength is not as good as Yuan Benchu's, he can concentrate on attacking
Fu. If the general attacks Yuan Benchu, both sides will lose. Cao Gong takes Hebei, but he can take chestnuts from the fire. Now if the general temporarily abandons Hebei, Cao Gong plans to do it, both your and my family will be happy, why not do it? In this way, Ming Gong is in Tian Yuanhao
In front of me, I can reply safely."
This time I laughed heartily. Cao Cao and Guo Jia are indeed not ordinary people. But games are not history. No matter how powerful Cao Cao and Guo Jia are, they still have to spit out some bones. So as soon as the laughter stopped, I said: "Cao Cao
Gonghe Fengxiao God's clever plan
, In fact, he is an expert. There is only one thing. If Duke Cao attacks Yuan Benchu in the future, our army will only need Youzhou, and other states can be taken by Duke Cao. In addition, the civil forces in various places, including within Cao Gong’s territory, please turn a blind eye.
Just one eye, okay?"
This time Guo Jia pondered. My request is really to drive away tigers through the front door and let in wolves through the back door. Originally, the Queen of Blades had already captured the civil forces in Xuzhou, but Cao Cao was so powerful that he kept blocking our army from marching into the other three states.
I am afraid of being controlled by our army. Now I use Yuan Shao as a bargaining chip, but I want to ask Cao Cao to fully open the territory. This is definitely unacceptable to Cao Cao. In comparison, my threat to Cao Cao is already greater than Yuan Shao.
After a while, Guo Jia said in a deep voice: "Youzhou has been cut off by Ming Gong, and it is useless for Cao Gong to come. It is just the power of the people, but it is the foundation of Cao Gong. I am afraid that it cannot be as Ming Gong wishes. So, the Yellow River will
In the north, Duke Ming can develop freely, and Duke Cao will never interfere. But if Duke Ming sets foot south of the Yellow River, it will be regarded as a declaration of war against Duke Cao, and Duke Cao will definitely not sit idly by, so what?"
I can't help but be impressed by Guo Jia again. To the north of the Yellow River, apart from Yuan Shao's territory, is the northern part of Sizhou. Guo Jia's move protected the depth of Xuchang to the greatest extent, and basically it was to show Yuan Shao's generosity, only giving
It only robbed me of half of the state's own territory. But for me, although this half of the state has not been eaten yet, it can still be regarded as something.
What I have gained is that the distance is not a problem. As long as the Queen of Blades captures Huanglong Province, she can directly send troops from the Dragon Clan, and the northern part of Sizhou will certainly not be a problem. And when the time comes, I can attack the civilian forces in Yuan Shao's territory from both ends.
With Cao Cao's threat and my military strength in Pengzhou, Yuan Shao has no choice but to accept the reality.
The guests and hosts had a great time. Guo Jia didn't stay too long. After getting the reply, he went back without stopping. Tian Feng also got the news soon. Hearing that Guo Jia left with a happy face, he naturally didn't dare to visit the mountains and rivers anymore.
Pack your bags and leave quickly.
It can be said that both Tian Feng and Guo Jia achieved their goals this time. Although Tian Feng did not persuade me to attack Cao Cao, he got my guarantee not to attack Yuan Shao, which in itself was a huge success. But Guo Jia's goal was all
Achieved, because Cao Cao had no intention of letting me attack Yuan Shao. In Cao Cao’s eyes,
Here, Yuan Shao, this piece of fat, belongs to him, and he cannot let others take advantage of him. As for the territory of Youzhou and half of the civil power in Sizhou, they have to give up due to the situation. Cao Cao's foundation has been preserved.
Once Yuan Shao is eliminated, he can successfully send troops to the south of the Yangtze River. That will be the time when Cao Cao is proud of his success.
As for me, the harvest is even richer. First of all, I already know that Yuan Shao will not easily provoke me. No matter it is any of his states, as long as my system's troops cannot pass through, the civilian forces are free to attack. As long as I don't hit his eyelids
Underneath, he would turn a blind eye. At the same time, he would turn a blind eye to Cao Cao.
I got the promise of Youzhou territory, plus half of Sizhou's civilian territory, which was more food taken from Cao Cao's teeth. At the same time, I also had a division of troops that Cao Cao gave me at the beginning, plus the Duke of Champa and the four states.
The appointment of the governor of the two regions and the former general was another huge help to me.
