Happy belated National Day!!!

Cao Cao had great ambitions, so naturally he couldn't bear it. What he said at this time was exactly what he thought, but he did not lose his mind because of this.

In fact, although these words were the first time he confessed them to his subordinates face to face, they were actually the result of previous discussions with Guo Jia and other advisers in private. After all, Cao Cao was not an arbitrary person. He knew how to listen and was more able to listen to others.

suggestions.

All the counselors believed that they should act sooner rather than later. Even if they did move, they would not be able to act rashly. They still had to plan for it step by step, but at least they had to make such a gesture to the outside world.

In fact, Cao Cao was also looking forward to it. How would Lu Bu react when he discovered what was happening on his side?

He regarded Lu Bu as his number one enemy, and he was very confident that in the Central Plains, there was no one who could be more wary of Lu Bu than himself.

Both sides are wary of each other, so naturally, when one party sets a trap and the other party takes action, it will be taken seriously by them, and what kind of actions they will make next is really intriguing.

However, if you think so, there is a big trouble in what to do. That is, their people do not know the situation in Luoyang at this time. Compared with Shuangliu in the south, their distance does not seem to be much different.

, but there are many obstacles in the middle. Let’s not talk about the issue of intelligence sources. The large area in the middle is under Lu Bu’s control, and there are obvious boundaries around here, and the defenses between each other are even tighter. If you want to be safe,

Delivering the message is really difficult.

The so-called knowing oneself and the enemy can lead to a hundred battles without danger. Even if it cannot be done like this, military affairs are like fire, but it has always been an iron law of military strategists. Naturally, Cao Cao and others will not know this, let alone not pay attention to it, so they have not done it before.

Little preparation.

It's a pity that they are destined not to know that although their so-called intelligence was obtained with great effort and is indeed something that actually exists, it is already out of date.

Time is undoubtedly the cruelest thing in this world. It can easily change everything, even worse.

What Cao Cao and the others didn't know was that although Luoyang was only a few days away from the day when the intelligence was transmitted, drastic changes had taken place one after another.

The starting point of all this comes from the day when Lu Bu defeated Ma Chao, but it was only in an instant, and there were many mistakes that could not be explained to outsiders. Even the people near Luoyang did not know the secret, let alone those far away.

If Cao, who was hundreds of thousands of miles away, knew about this, they would be able to deduce something about it even if they didn't know clearly, especially if they had already noticed Yuan Tan's movements in Hanoi County.

Then they naturally had no way of knowing the news that Yuan Tan and Han Sui cooperated with each other to invade Luoyang, and that Li Ru and Pang De were defeated and fled to Hedong, let alone the two seemingly insignificant people Liu Fan and Liu Fan.

Death brought the anger of one of the princes, and also caused more unpredictability, so everything that followed was destined to go astray.

Of course, judging from the information they currently know, their arrangement cannot be said to be wrong, or even reasonable.

Because I still have some doubts, I will not rush forward all of a sudden. The first step is to make a sufficient gesture, not only to calm the hearts and morale of the soldiers under my command, but more importantly, to let Lu Bu know.

"If it is just a simple mobilization of troops and horses, people may not care. After all, there are a lot of similar situations these days. We still have to take some practical actions. This place is a land of border disputes. If it is just an ordinary friction, I am afraid that

It may not cause vigilance, so we must cross the border directly, and then"

Although the words were not finished, the meaning was self-evident. As soon as Cao Cao said these words, the generals headed by Xu Chu and Xia Hou brothers were all in high spirits.

Unlike the counselors, like Xulue, Guo Jia and other wise men, even if they are not in war, their wisdom can still be used at all times, and sometimes their sense of presence may be even higher than in war, and the generals are separated

War, I feel that the greatest value of existence is gone. It happens that they are the group of people who like movement the most and dislike silence. And the situation Cao Cao is facing now, if he does not take the initiative to provoke others, no matter it is south

Neither Yuan Shu, Sun Ce, nor Lu Bu in the west, nor Yuan Shang, Liu He and others in the north would actively provoke him at this time. In this way, except for the occasional border line with Lu Bu, they

Small frictions that are simply not worth mentioning usually fade out of sight most of the time. In addition, these days they are almost idle in this place, which makes these generals even more breathless.

Now, as soon as they heard that there was a plan to take action, everyone was naturally gearing up and overjoyed, waiting for the opportunity to show off their skills.

When Cao Cao saw this, he couldn't help but smile on his face. This smile contained the relief of having finally made up his mind, and the relief of seeing that his military spirit could be used.

The feeling of depression these days is not necessarily a bad thing from another perspective. When they find an outlet to vent after holding it in for a long time, the power they can exert cannot be underestimated. The key lies in how to control that degree.

At this moment, there was a report from outside, and the latest information came over. Cao Cao immediately ordered someone to pass it over, and then quickly browsed it and looked around.

"This is the news that just came," Cao Cao said, holding the latest information in his hand with a joyful tone that was rarely seen in recent times: "Do you know what is written on it?"

Everyone was immediately interested. Everyone here was close to Cao Cao. They knew him somewhat, knew his temperament, and even knew that with his recent mood, he would never be so showy. This peculiarity naturally aroused their interest immediately.

of attention.

Cao Cao didn't sell too much, but explained the information one by one:

"This is the latest report from Bingzhou. The Xianbei Budugen tribe invaded Yunzhong and attacked three counties in a few days. The Yunzhong defenders lost several battles in a row and were forced to retreat and confront them. In other words, Lu Bu

There was a fire in the backyard, but the fire was big. There were good generals and ministers such as Gao Shun in Bingzhou, so it might not be impossible to put it down.

Outside the gate of enemy defense. However, this is only part of Bu Du Gen. Although Xianbei has continued civil strife, its covetousness for the Central Plains has not been cut off. Now that there is an opportunity, Bu Du Gen has dug a nail in the clouds, which is inconvenient.

There will be further behavior, which must be guarded against, but this can be left to Lu Bu to have a headache."

"This is a tip from Guanzhong. There have been frequent changes in Chang'an Webster's recently. It is suspected that it is in the opposite direction. Of course, it is from Lu Bu's end. Although due to the gap in the middle, we cannot rule out the possibility that the information has been manipulated or even misled by someone.

But just in case, after further confirmation, you may be able to make good use of it.”

"This is not a battle report or details, but a secret letter. Do you know who it is from?"

Two important pieces of news in succession had already shocked everyone. Even Guo Jia and others were stunned for a moment. These two pieces of news were both a great disadvantage to Lu Bu, but on the contrary, they were a great benefit to them. But it was so

It happened to be passed on at the same time, so many people couldn't help but question its authenticity, but now everyone's focus is on the last secret message.

Cao Cao sold another small pass, which showed that the importance of this letter was no less than the two previous pieces of news. It also made everyone more curious about who this letter came from.

"I wonder if you have heard of this person?" Cao Cao glanced at everyone and saw that Guo Jia had a smile on his face, while Xi Lue was a little hesitant. He seemed to have guessed something, so he smiled and said the name.
