    Yanzhou, the Prefectural Mufu.  In the study room, Cao Cao rested his hands on his thighs, straightened his back, held his chest in his arms, and sat upright.  He held a volume in his hand and held it tightly.  Those slender eyes were narrowed, revealing a frightening cold light.  In the study room, there are also Xun Yu, Xi Zhicai, Xun You, Cheng Yu and others.  Everyone¡¯s expressions were extremely solemn.  Cao Cao took a deep breath, adjusted his emotions, and said in a deep voice: "Wang Lei calls himself a general and oversees the two states of You and Ji. However, Li Ru added fuel to the fire and not only agreed to Wang Lei's request, but also gave Wang Lei Chijie and Duyou.  The rights of the four states of , Hebei, Yan, and Qing openly encouraged Wang Lei to reach out to our territory. What do you think about this matter? " Xi Zhicai analyzed without thinking: "There is no doubt that this is Li Ru's.  A divorce plan. Li Ru wanted to use this power to provoke a fight between the lord and Wang Lei. Wang Lei controlled Youzhou and Jizhou, and the lord controlled Qingzhou and Yanzhou. Although Wang Lei was better.  The battle between the two armies will definitely result in killing one thousand enemies and losing eight hundred. By then, the strength of the lord and Wang Lei will be weakened, and it is very likely that Li Ru will make a profit."  "Cao Cao said solemnly: "Everyone knows what Li Ru is thinking. The problem is that Wang Lei has the right to intervene in Yanzhou and Qingzhou. This is not good for us." Cheng Yu said coldly.  "This Li Ru deserves to die." Xun You said lightly with a smile on his face: "Li Ru's doing this is actually not a bad thing." Cao Cao asked: "What do you think of Gongda?" Xun You smiled slightly and replied:  "My lord owns Yanzhou and Qingzhou, which has become an obstacle to Wang Lei's south, blocking Wang Lei's opportunity to expand southward." Cao Cao nodded, did not speak, and continued to listen.  On the contrary, Cheng Yu was impatient and said impatiently: "Gongda, when you say this, I think it is even more bad. My lord has blocked Wang Lei's way south, and Wang Lei has to interfere in the affairs of Yanzhou and Qingzhou. It is impossible to be like before.  That way we only focus on the rear." Xun You smiled and said, "What Mr. Zhong De said is right. Wang Lei will indeed intervene in Yanzhou and Qingzhou's affairs." Xun Yu said, "If Gongda has any ideas, tell him."  First of all, let¡¯s judge Wang Lei¡¯s next move. I think there are two. First, Wang Lei has solved Gongsun Zan of Youzhou, and will definitely move westward to Bingzhou. If Bingzhou is not solved, there will be threats to Wang Lei¡¯s camp at any time.  There may be threats, so I judge that Wang Lei will send troops to Bingzhou. "Secondly, when Wang Lei attacks Bingzhou, he will intervene in Yanzhou and Qingzhou, which already poses a threat to Wang Lei.  The lord will definitely become Wang Lei¡¯s biggest enemy.¡±  On the one hand, it is necessary to curb the development of the lord in order to defeat the lord in the future. "Cao Cao said: "Gongda's analysis is very clear, I agree." Xun Yu also said: "I also agree!"  Let¡¯s get to the point, why isn¡¯t it a bad thing?¡±  , The Yuan Dynasty is absolutely afraid of the lord." "To attack Wang Lei, it is definitely possible to join forces with Li Ru." "Therefore, I suggest joining forces with Li Ru to attack Jizhou together." "As the saying goes, attack first and you will suffer disaster.  With a serious look on his face, he said slowly: "If we continue to expand our strength and Wang Lei's strength remains stagnant, then there is no doubt that we should choose to develop our own strength and not compete with Wang Lei for the time being. But the situation today is different.  Wang Lei's power develops too fast. If Wang Lei continues to develop, the consequences will be unimaginable." Xi Zhicai thought about it and said, "Gongda's analysis makes sense, but I have a few questions." Xun You said, "Please tell me.  "Xi Zhicai said: "Combining Li Ru to attack means that we are about to confront Wang Lei. But since we are uniting with Li Ru, we are two armies. Once each has his own agenda, the situation will be very unfavorable for us." Cheng Yu.  Agreeing: "The military advisor's analysis is reasonable, and there is indeed a certain risk."  Wang Lei attacks Bingzhou. Once Wang Lei dominates the north and gains momentum, it will be difficult to resist. Therefore, no matter what, Wang Lei must be attacked to curb Wang Lei's development.After a pause, Xun You continued: "Li Ru hates Wang Lei so much that he will do his best. If it were someone like Liu Bei, I wouldn't believe it, but I believe in Li Ru. From another perspective, Li Ru  Ru would rather we be powerful than Wang Lei's power expand further." Xi Zhicai frowned and said solemnly: "However, once the coalition fails, Wang Lei's power will definitely be greater. At that time, Wang Lei will take advantage of the victory and enter Yanzhou.  , the consequences are unimaginable. Since Wang Lei wants to attack Jizhou, let Wang Lei attack, wait until both sides are defeated, and then attack Jizhou and defeat Wang Lei in one fell swoop.  One thing. Previously, Li Ru had your thoughts on Gongsun Zan and Wang Lei, so that Zhang Liao was captured and Gongsun Zan was killed. If Li Ru had united with Gongsun Zan early, he would have sent troops to attack Jizhou when Wang Lei was attacking Gongsun Zan.  , Wang Lei would not be able to capture Youzhou.¡±  At that time, the situation was out of control." Xi Zhicai shook his head and said, "As long as we keep a good balance and ensure that Li Ru's army will not be completely defeated, I think there is a chance." Xun You shook his head and retorted.  The two men argued that the public was right, and the mother-in-law said that the mother-in-law was right. The argument was inextricable.  Cao Cao rubbed his sore temples, thought for a while, and said in a deep voice: "I already understand what you mean. The focus of the military advisor is to use Li Ru's power to consume Wang Lei's strength, thereby creating opportunities for us; Gongda's focus is  It's about joining forces with Li Ru and taking the initiative to defeat Wang Lei. " Xi Zhicai said, "Please think again, my lord!" Xun You had a faint smile on his face. He believed that Cao Cao would make a good choice.  After all, Cao Cao is the decision-maker.  After thinking for a long time, Cao Cao said: "I decided to adopt Gongda's suggestion and join forces with Li Ru to strike first. Yanzhou and Qingzhou are the places of the Four War, and it will not be easy to continue to expand. When we take over Xuzhou, Yuzhou, etc.  Wang Lei's strength will definitely be difficult to contain. While Wang Lei is still weak, we must take the initiative in this battle." Xi Zhi opened his mouth and stopped trying to persuade.  Only through Xi Zhi can we understand Cao Cao's thoughts. Cao Cao is worried that Wang Lei will achieve great success and it will be difficult to counterattack when the time comes.
