    "What Mr. Cheng said is wrong. In your opinion, because Liu Xuande's foundation is unstable, we should take advantage of this emptiness and raise a large army to eliminate him urgently. Liu Xuande is a man of great skill, the city is extremely deep, and he is assisted by Zhuge Liang. Now it's over.  The territory of the seven counties of Han Dynasty was obtained. If one day, Liu Xuande took advantage of the fierce battle between King Wei and Wen Bufan in the northwest to seize the land of Yizhou, and the foundation of the world was completed. Even if King Wei attacked the northwest, his army would have to rest for three days.  Liu Xuande had to rest for three years, and he had already established his wings in Yi and Jing. If the king of Wei wanted to go south again, a long and fierce battle would inevitably happen!  In the southern expedition, I¡¯m afraid we¡¯ll lose more than we win!¡±

    Xun You has always been upright and fearless, but his sharp words immediately caused the expressions of the Cao family's civil and military officials in the palace to change.  Cao Cao narrowed his eyes slightly and suddenly looked at Jia Xu, who was concentrating on the side.  Jia Xu noticed Cao Cao's gaze and hurriedly came to show his courtesy.

    "What the two Ming Gongs said is reasonable. In Xu's humble opinion, the one currently guarding Hanoi is Wen Han's sworn brother, the world-famous 'Martial Saint' Guan Yunchang. Guan Yunchang gathered 150,000 heavy troops to guard Hanoi, which means,  This is to prevent the King of Wei from launching an army to conquer the northwest. The northwest is heavily guarded by famous generals, and there are also outstanding counselors such as Xi Zhicai and Tian Feng to assist him. If the King of Wei wants to conquer the northwest, he must raise at least 300,000 troops.  70% chance of winning.

    "Three years ago, the King of Wei did not raise a large number of troops to attack the northwest, but now he has raised 300,000 troops, which can be done.  But precisely because three years ago, the King of Wei launched an army to attack Hanoi and Bingzhou. He gained no land and consumed a lot of food and grass.  Now we will raise another 300,000 troops, just in case the battle goes unfavorably and we are defeated.  Although the King of Wei had a large number of troops at hand, due to repeated defeats, he was short of food and could not raise more troops to attack the surrounding forces.

    On the other hand, in Jingzhou, although Zhuge Liang was in charge, Jingzhou was trapped by three forces and could not advance or retreat.  Northwest general Xu Huang led 30,000 troops to guard Shangyong. Sun Ce also sent Huang Gai, Cheng Pu and other generals to gather troops in Changsha and Guiyang, eyeing Jingzhou.  According to reports from spies, Jingzhou's military strength was no more than 80,000.  In order to ensure the safety of Jingzhou, Zhuge Liang had to divide his troops to guard in various dangerous areas.  If the King of Wei wants to raise an army to attack him, he only needs to raise an army of more than 120,000, and combined with all the heroes and talents under his command, there is a 70% chance of victory.  "

    When Jia Xu said this, he closed his mouth and said no more.  With Cao Cao's extraordinary wisdom, there is no need to say something too clearly. Cao Cao has his own set of analysis.

    After hearing this, Cao Cao nodded slightly and pondered.  After a while, Xun Yu came forward and bowed.

    "King Wei, there is not enough food in the Central Plains. If King Wei wants to continue the war for a long time, he should be cautious."

    As soon as Xun Yu said this, Cao Cao's eyes suddenly shot out two rays of light, and he laughed loudly.

    "Haha! What Wen Ruo said is true. But if we want to conquer Jingzhou in the south, I wonder if you have any clever ideas to educate the orphans?"

    Jia Xu had already made up his mind. As soon as Cao Cao asked, he respectfully handed over his hand and reported.

    "In the past, the King of Wei had appointed Zhou Yu as the prefect of Nanjun, but Liu Bei did not give up the land of Nanjun to hand over to Zhou Yu. The Sun family of Dongwu had long wanted to plot Jingzhou, so it would be better for the King of Wei to send an envoy to Dongwu to report to Sun Ce  After the marriage, the Cao and Sun families joined forces and jointly sent troops to attack Jingzhou. At the same time, they promised Sun Ce that if he could capture Jingzhou in the future, he would give the two counties of Jiangxia and Nanjun to Soochow. Sun Ce would be very happy and agreed to this.  The two families jointly launched an army in Jingzhou. Even if Zhuge Kongming has the strategies of Jiang Ziya and Zhang Zifang, it will be difficult for them to resist!"

    "Hahahaha!!! Wenhe's plan is brilliant!!!"

    Cao Cao was overjoyed and laughed loudly.  Then he thought of Wuhou Sun Ce's sister, named Sun Shangxiang. She was beautiful, with the appearance of a fish and a goose, and was virtuous and polite, worthy of serving as a broomstick. She was an extremely famous beauty in Jiangdong.

    It is said that heroes love beauties, not to mention a peerless hero like Cao Cao who is rare in thousands of years.  Cao Cao was lustful and wanted to take Sun Shangxiang as his concubine, and he was about to open his mouth.  Unexpectedly, Xun Yu was the first to speak.

    "What Mr. Jia said is true. As far as Yu knows, Wu Hou Sun Ce has a sister named Sun Shangxiang, who is a phoenix among people. The crown prince Cao Ang is wise and martial, and has won the style of the King of Wei. He is a dragon among people. The dragon and phoenix match, it is just right.  The family is well matched. The king of Wei can marry Sun Ce in the name of the prince, and Sun Ce will definitely agree!"

    As soon as Xun Yu said this, Cao Cao's face suddenly darkened, and his eyes suddenly shot out two sharp rays of light, approaching Xun Yu.

    Cao Cao was moody. Just a moment ago, he had a bright smile on his face, but suddenly his face turned dark and angry.  All the civil and military members of the Cao family were at a loss. Cao Cao snorted coldly, stood up suddenly, fluttered his sleeves and walked into the back hall.  All the ministers were afraid and bowed to the ground.

    When I was young, the meeting broke up unhappy.  Xun Yu frowned deeply and sighed repeatedly, not knowing how he had offended Cao Cao.  Xun Yu had offended Cao Cao before because of Cao Cao's establishment of the king. After that, Cao Cao became alienated from Xun Yu.

     Xun Yu thought about it, feeling depressed, and sighed again.  At this moment, Guo Jia walked up to Xun Yu with a joking smile and said with a smile.

    "Haha, does Mr. Xun have something on his mind?"

    When Xun Yu saw Guo Jia, his eyes lit up.  Guo Jia can be said to be the advisor beside Cao Cao who understands Cao Cao's heart best.  Xun Yu quickly bowed his hands and asked Guo Jia for advice.

    Guo Jia smiled even brighter, raised his eyebrows, and pretended to be joking.

    "Oh? Duke Xun has the talents of a king and is praised by the world as Xiao He. Jia is just a mediocre person. What can he teach Duke Xun?"

    "Guo Prodigal!! You!! Wow!! You heartless prodigal, you were seriously ill in bed in the past, and if it weren't for Xun, you would have died long ago. Now that you see that I am not favored by the king, you have come to add insult to injury!!!"

    Xun Yu blew his black and white beard, pretending to be furious.  Seeing this, Guo Jia quickly apologized, then secretly pulled Xun Yu aside and said quietly.

    "Wen Ruo, are you wondering why the king suddenly left the meeting in a rage in the hall today?"

    When Xun Yu heard this, his anger faded and he quickly asked Guo Jia.

    "Is it possible that Fengxiao knows why the king is angry?"

    "Haha. Wen Ruo, you are really stupid. Everyone knows that everyone has a love for beauty. What's more, our king is a hero of the world. We are in the age of heroism. Sun Shangxiang's reputation has long been spread in the Central Plains. Your Majesty has already accepted it.  "Xun Wenruo didn't know the king's intentions, but he told the king to marry his beloved daughter to the crown prince. The king was embarrassed and could not get angry, so he had to leave the table in anger."

    I saw a pair of misty eyes of the prodigal son Guo Jia, with a hint of lust flashing through his eyes, and he smiled at Xun Yu.  Xun Yu was shocked and exclaimed.

    "The king actually wants to accept Sun Shangxiang as his concubine? But the king is already half a hundred years old and has gray hair on his temples. What's more, the king and Sun Ce's father are the same generation. If the king accepts it, it is true! It is inconsistent with etiquette, and it is inconsistent with etiquette!! And  Not to mention how people in the world will laugh at this matter, how can Wu Hou¡¯s sister, at such a young age, accept this marriage!¡±

    "Hahaha!!! Vulgar, Wen Ruo is really vulgar!!! If the king puts etiquette first in everything in his life, how can he achieve the current situation?! What's more, Wen Ruo, do you know why the king likes Sun Shangxiang so much?"

    Guo Jia laughed loudly after hearing this, and his laughter was extremely uninhibited.  Xun Yu was astonished after hearing this. He recalled Cao Cao's life, from offering his sword to assassinate Dong Zhuo, to raising eighteen princes to attack Dong's thieves, to holding the emperor hostage to order the princes, and now to sitting on the throne of Wei King.  Which ones are not earth-shattering acts of rebellion?  Xun Yu couldn't help but shudder and quickly said to Guo Jia.

    "Appreciate further details."

    "Wen Ruo doesn't know that Wu Hou's sister is a woman, but she is determined to be better than a man. She once said that if she is not a hero in the world, I will do nothing. Later, this statement reached the ears of the king. The king was full of praise for Wu Hou's sister. Not only  I love her beauty, and I love her talent even more, and I have been willing to accept him since then. Now the King of Wei is the most powerful man in the world, and he can be said to be the number one hero in the world. As the saying goes, a lady matches a gentleman, how can he be dissatisfied because of his age?  If the King of Wei asks for a hand in marriage, even if Sun Bofu doesn¡¯t respond, Sun Shangxiang will!¡±

    Guo Jiaji said sternly, if Cao Cao was here and heard these words, he would definitely clasp his hands and cheer!  Cao Cao and Guo Jia have similar temperaments. They are both unrestrained and unrestrained romantic people.  Therefore, Guo Jia is known as the counselor who knows Cao Cao best, and there is good reason for it.

    After hearing this, Xun Yu's face changed rapidly, turning blue and purple. He secretly thought that if Cao Cao really took Sun Shangxiang as his concubine, Sun Wentai, the former Jiangdong tiger, would be so angry that he would fight his way out of the underworld and return to the human world.  Looking for revenge against Cao Cao!

    However, Xun Yu understood Cao Cao's temper. As long as he made up his mind, no one could stop him from getting what he wanted.  Even if he advises desperately, as long as it does not harm the overall situation, most of Cao Cao will not listen to his ideas.  Xun Yu sighed secretly in his heart and bowed his hands to Guo Jia.

    "Thank you Fengxiao for your words. Tomorrow I will know how to please the king."

    Guo Jia looked at Xun Yu's extremely aggrieved look and couldn't help but laugh and said softly.

    "Haha. You don't have to be like this, Wen Ruo. The king has always acted with discretion. As for Sun Bofu, he just married a sister, but got Jiangxia and Nanjun in return. Why not do it? Both.  In the whole world, if you ask who is the most powerful person in the world, it is the king. Surprisingly, Sun Shangxiang has said it first. It will be a blessing for her to marry the king. "

    ??

    The two talked secretly for a while, and then Xun Yu, in order to reward Guo Jia, naturally gave him a banquet.

    The next day, all the officials of the Cao family gathered together again.  Cao Cao was sitting in the high hall with a cold face, as if he had been there yesterday.?The anger has not gone away.  It is said that accompanying a king is like accompanying a tiger. When the ministers saw this, they were uneasy and did not dare to speak.  Only Guo Jia had a slight smile on his face and secretly winked at Xun Yu.

    Xun Yu understood deeply and attended the ceremony.  Cao Cao was very unhappy when he saw that it was Xun Yu. He snorted coldly and then heard Xun Yu speak.

    "I didn't think twice about what I said yesterday. I hope your Majesty won't be surprised. I once heard that Wu Hou's sister once said that if she were not a hero in the world, I would not do anything about it. Although the crown prince Cao Ang is a dragon among men, he has not yet been able to do so.  If the king wants to marry Soochow, he may have to find someone else to be called a hero in the world!"

    Hearing this, Cao Cao raised the corners of his mouth and asked with squinted eyes.

    "Oh? In Wenruo's opinion, who do you think is suitable?"

    Xun Yu secretly paid attention to the change in Cao Cao's expression, and saw a strong lust flashing through his eyes. He immediately understood that as Guo Jia said, Cao Cao had the intention to take over Sun Shangxiang.  Xun Yu hurriedly bowed his hands.

    "Sun Shangxiang is the daughter of Sun Wentai, the fierce tiger from the east of the Yangtze River, and the sister of Sun Bofu, the little overlord. Both her father and brother are heroes in the world, and ordinary people must not be able to judge him. If you follow Yu's opinion, only the best hero in the world can make him  Love it!¡±

    As soon as Xun Yu said this, all the officials of the Cao family at the table immediately exclaimed.  It seemed that he was extremely surprised that Xun Yu, who was usually strict in etiquette, could actually say these words.  Everyone naturally knows who is the number one hero in the world.  But this hero is a contemporary of Sun Wentai. It would be inconsistent with etiquette to take Sun Shangxiang as his concubine!
