The appearance of the two characters Liu Zhang on the battlefield seems to herald victory!
Back then, Dong Zhuo used his Xiliang cavalry to frighten the Kwantung Allied Forces!
But the Xiliang Iron Cavalry, which was so powerful at the time, seemed like paper in front of Liu Zhang!
The Xiliang cavalry who beat Cao Cao like a dog were beaten like a dog by Liu Zhang. Can Cao Cao not be afraid?
"Prime Minister, with Cao Ren, General Cao Hong and General Xiahou Dun in charge, there should be no problem."
"Our biggest problem at present is internal worries. We must let the Yingchuan family come back to the Prime Minister's side!"
There is a very long-term strategic depth from Chang'an to Xuchang. Even if Cao Hong and others are defeated again and again, they can still retreat and stabilize their position.
It would take at least several months for Liu Zhang to tear Cao's army apart by force.
Guo Jia was confident that he would completely defeat Yuan Shao before Liu Zhang attacked Xuchang City.
But it’s different when there’s an insider!
At present, Cao Ren and Cao Hong's food and grass are supplied by the Yingchuan family.
Once something changes, these two people will be defeated immediately.
"Zilian, Zixiao has sent word that the food and grass will support us for two months without any worries."
"There is also news from Yuan Rang that there is no change in Xuchang."
Cao Cao said it was okay, but there was no look of relief in his eyes.
It would have been nice if the Yingchuan family had revealed its flaws. Now that it is as calm as water, people have to suspect that there is a huge conspiracy brewing!
"Prime Minister, when geckos are in danger, they often cut off their tails to survive!"
"It's time for us to make some concessions to stabilize the Yingchuan family..."
Guo Jia was deeply unwilling. He knew the consequences of such a thing.
In particular, Guo Jia prides himself on being extremely smart and has always been confident that he can control everything.
The Yingchuan family in front of him has already made Guo Jia feel huge uncertainty.
"How to do it?"
Cao Cao was even more frustrated. He really didn't know how to give out his rights.
Military power is absolutely non-negotiable and must be controlled by the clan.
As for status and official positions, Xun Yu was already a minister, so did he still need to add ministerial affairs?
This is not an excuse for Cao Cao himself!
"Prime Minister, this time it will not affect the Yingchuan family. It can promote a family that has extremely close relations with all the Yingchuan families."
"What Fengxiao said...?"
Guo Jia nodded heavily, confirming Cao Cao's guess.
"Yes, it is the Sima family in Hanoi."
"Sima Lang's grandfather Sima Jun served as the prefect of Yingchuan for a long time and had a very close relationship with the Yingchuan family."
"Promoting the Sima family should allow the Yingchuan family to see the Prime Minister's sincerity in reconciliation."
For some reason, Cao Cao always felt a little uncomfortable when the Sima family was mentioned.
Including Guo Jia recommending Sima Yi to Chang'an, Cao Cao also felt uncomfortable in his chest.
After Sima Yi failed, he immediately drove him away.
In fact, Cao Cao had no prejudice against the Sima family. After all, his first position as Captain of Luoyang North was recommended by Sima Lang's father, Sima Fang.
"Sima Lang has just been moved to the county magistrate, Feng Xiao, how do you think this Prime Minister should promote him?"
Guo Jia thought for a long time before naming a position.
"The governor of Yanzhou."
"What!"
Cao Cao was extremely shocked. This step from county magistrate to governor was too big!
"Fengxiao, isn't it enough to promote Sima Lang to be the governor of a county?"
Guo Jia shook his head gently, feeling extremely helpless.
"Prime Minister, the prefect must be kept by the Yingchuan family..."
Cao Cao narrowed his eyes slightly and stared at Guo Jia for a long time.
If he didn't know Guo Jia very well, Cao Cao would even think that Guo Jia was a spy from the family!
"If this is really done, then the Central Plains will..."
Cao Cao was trying his best to suppress the Yingchuan family, but now it might collapse.
"Prime Minister, as long as you defeat Yuan Shao, you can get the vast Hebei!"
"At that time, the prime minister only needs to support the Hebei family to fight against the Yingchuan family."
Cao Cao was exhausted mentally and physically and couldn't help but sigh.
Guo Jia said it was easy, but are checks and balances really that simple?
The Cao family originated in the Central Plains and prospered in Yingchuan. The emperor is in Xuchang City!
Cao Cao wanted to get rid of the Yingchuan family, which was almost a fantasy.
But if you don't do what Guo Jia says, you will most likely regret it.
"Okay, just do what Feng Xiao said..."
"I hope we can defeat Yuan Shao quickly and capture the land of Hebei in one fell swoop!"
Fortunately, one thing is very clear. The more powerful his subordinates become, the more they can deter those noble families from messing around.
"Prime Minister, there is another person who needs to be promoted."
"who?"
Cao Cao was already a little distracted. The governor of Yanzhou had already given him, so what else could he not give?
Anyway, Guo Jia knew that he would not give in to military power, nor would he take the initiative to mention it.
"Sima Yi."
"It's him!"
I’m really afraid of what will happen!
Cao Cao had just thought about not getting involved with Sima Yi, but he didn't expect Guo Jia to mention him.
"What can a weak scholar do?"
Cao Cao's contempt for Sima Yi made Guo Jia disagree.
"Prime Minister, please don't underestimate him. Sima Yi is extremely intelligent and is definitely not an ordinary person!"
Guo Jia was originally an extremely conceited person, and ordinary wise men could not stand in his eyes.
But after a conversation, Guo Jia was shocked by Sima Yi's knowledge and insight.
"Then what are Fengxiao going to do with Sima Yi?"
Guo Jiadu said this, and Cao Cao could no longer insist on it.
Moreover, Cao Cao also knew that his dislike of Sima Yi had no basis and was simply prejudice.
"Prime Minister, Sima Yi has been familiar with military books since he was a child. It is better for him to go to Henan Yin to assist General Cao Hong in resisting the Qin army."
"With Sima Yi here, it will be difficult for Liu Zhang to succeed in his schemes!"
Cao Cao couldn't help being a little surprised when he heard this. Did Guo Jia think too highly of Sima Yi?
"Fengxiao, don't be fooled by this person!"
"If Sima Yi hadn't been so smart, how could Liu Zhang have easily destroyed the Xianbei people?"
If we say what Cao Cao regretted the most, it was letting Sima Yi go to help the Xianbei people.
If the Xianbei people were guarding Chang'an, Liu Zhang might not be able to do anything to them now!
Not to mention claiming the throne and establishing the country, sending troops to harass oneself, it is still unknown whether Liangzhou can be firmly established.
Guo Jia smiled. He had a clear understanding of Sima Yi and would not be swayed by Cao Cao's words.
"Prime Minister, there is no victorious general in the world. One failure is nothing, but will be beneficial to future growth."
"Just like Yuan Shao now, after going through Guandu and Cangting, didn't he become so difficult to deal with?"
Cao Cao nodded lightly and did not raise any objections.
"Okay, everything will be done according to Fengxiao's wishes."
"By the way, Yuan Benchu's Wuhuan cavalry are so difficult to deal with. Can Fengxiao think of a way to defeat them?"
Facing the Wuhuan people who were fast and knew how to ride and shoot, Cao Cao was really at a loss.
The opponent was extremely cunning. He did not have direct contact with Cao Jun at all, and he fired arrows while running, which was really annoying.
Even the tiger and leopard cavalry covered in iron armor suffered a lot of casualties, let alone ordinary infantry?
The corners of Guo Jia's mouth raised slightly, and there was a fierce look in his eyes.
"Let the Wuhuan people be arrogant for a while, and sooner or later they will hate Hebei!"
