Guo Jia was a little curious. Being able to bet on a state's land showed that the other party was also a big spender, so the bet between the two of them would definitely not be too small.
"That's all..."
"It's okay not to mention it!"
Lin Zhe waved his hand and immediately planned to end the topic.
It was very troublesome to explain this matter. According to this guy's temperament, it would probably take a long time to ask, but Lin Zhe was too lazy to bother.
Lu Lingqi came out with hot tea at this time and placed it on the small table between the two of them.
Looking at Lu Lingqi, who looked like a lady, Guo Jia couldn't help but be surprised. He couldn't connect the beautiful lady in front of him with the daughter of Lu Bu, the God of War.
"This is the fine tea bought by Zhe Xin. There is no salt or ground ginger in it. It only retains the fragrance of the tea. In terms of preciousness, I'm afraid it's even more precious than your Qingfeng Zui."
Guo Jia curiously picked up the tea cup, put it under his nose and smelled it. There was nothing strange about it, and then he took a sip.
"How do you feel about Fengxiao?"
"Jia feels..."
"Not as drunk as my refreshing breeze..."
A black line appeared on Lin Zhe's forehead. Why didn't this guy know how to cherish such a good thing?
What a waste of natural resources...
Lin Zhe calmly made a gesture to Lu Lingqi, and then asked her to put away the remaining tea leaves.
As if they were thieves, the two of them were holding Qingfengzui in their arms, and the other was holding freshly roasted new tea, both of them watching out for each other.
The atmosphere was a little subtle, and Lin Zhe and Guo Jia also sensed something was wrong. They looked at each other, and then burst into hearty laughter at the same time.
Lin Zhe lay down again, and asked like a casual chat between friends: "Fengxiao, do you think if Zhe asks Duke Cao for a battle, he will send troops to help him?"
"Probably yes!"
Guo Jia also lay down, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he replied: "The so-called driving away the wolf and devouring the tiger is to let Duke Xuande and Lu Bu fight each other, so that the lord can benefit from it!"
"Now that someone is helping him to attack Xuzhou, my lord may not even be happy in time. How can he refuse?"
Hearing what Guo Jia said, Lin Zhe felt relieved. As long as Cao Cao did not object to him leading troops to attack Xuzhou, everything would become much simpler.
"By the way, if the lord agrees, how will Xian Yun deal with Chen Gong?"
Guo Jia seemed to have remembered something and said: "If General Guan had not lost Xiaopei, it would have been much easier to take control of Xiapi. Now that the two cities are competing against each other, it is really a bit troublesome to capture Xuzhou...
.”
"In addition, there is Yuan Shu watching eagerly from the side, does Xian Yun have any clever plan to deal with it?"
Guo Jia knew that Lin Zhe must have had an idea, otherwise he would not have asked this question.
But how to deal with the combination of Chen Gong and Lu Bu, even Guo Jia couldn't help but be curious at this time.
Lin Zhe smiled and said: "There is no clever plan. Xiaopei and Xiapi are already at odds with each other. This is an advantage and a disadvantage at the same time."
"If you want to capture Xiaopei, all you have to do is surround the area and send reinforcements, and attack from the east and attack from the west..."
Unlike those generals, Guo Jia was a smart man. Lin Zhe only mentioned it briefly and he understood his general idea.
"Xianyun means to send an army to pretend to capture Pi, wait for the enemy troops in Xiaopei City to come to support, and capture Xiaopei in one fell swoop when the city is empty?"
Lin Zhe shook his head and nodded again.
"Not enough!"
"This plan is too simple!"
"Zhe has fought against Chen Gong. I'm afraid he won't be fooled by such a simple strategy, so I need to add another layer to this strategy to confuse Chen Gong's sight!"
Guo Jia frowned a little, what do you mean...
Too simple?
Picking up the tea on the table, Lin Zhe took a sip, moistened his throat, and continued to explain:
"Zhe needs to make Chen Gong mistakenly think that the troops attacking Xiapi City are our main force, while the troops attacking Xiaopei City are a feint attack. When they are negligent, the feint attack turns into a main attack, and the main attack turns into blocking the enemy. We will wait
Then we can take the opportunity to directly capture Xiaopei!"
"In order for Chen Gong to have this illusion, the number of troops attacking Xiapi must be large enough, and they must be concealed enough, so that in the end he has to doubt the motives of this troop!"
"Smart people always think a lot. When someone leads a large army to attack Xiaopei in a leisurely manner, another large army moves lightly."
"What would you think if Fengxiao learned about this situation?"
Guo Jia sighed and said with emotion: "Xian Yun is a good trick. I'm afraid Chen Gong will be in trouble this time!"
"But Xian Yun is so confident in telling Jia this kind of thing. Aren't you afraid that I will tell the master the secret?"
Lin Zhe spread his hands and said nonchalantly: "Fengxiao can go if he wants. Anyway, the military power is not in my hands now..."
"Besides, even if Xuzhou is captured, I'm afraid Duke Cao won't let me get involved. From this point of view, there is no difference between me going to attack and others going to attack! Then why not let me go?"
"Xianyun sees things clearly!" Guo Jia praised first, and then asked: "But... where is Xiapi?"
"After taking Xiaopei, if Chen Gong takes over the city to defend it, Xian Yun will probably have to pay some price..."
Mentioning this, Lin Zhe stood up and looked at Guo Jia lying on the recliner with a mysterious smile.
"Some time ago, Zhe rushed to the lord in a hurry and was not well prepared, so Chen Gong took advantage of him. This time, I will let him see...
"What is..."
"Crush!"
"I have prepared a big gift for Xiapi City. As long as Mr. Cao sincerely helps me seize the city, when the time comes, Xiapi City? Just push it..."
Hearing this, Guo Jia couldn't help but glance at his mouth and retorted: "Since it's crushing, why did Xian Yun use tricks to attack Xiaopei?"
"Xiaopeicheng seems to be easier to capture than Xiapi!"
Although Guo Jia believed that Lin Zhe was not without purpose, and he also believed that Lin Zhe could eventually win Xiapi, it would be a bit of an exaggeration to say that he could crush Chen Gong.
"Be filial and be optimistic, don't be surprised when the time comes!"
After saying this, Lin Zhe had a hint of confidence in his eyes, and then murmured in a low voice:
"Who throws the two kings first in the landlord fight?"
"Isn't that stupid..."
"Some things are designed to be unexpected and have the greatest effect the first time. If precautions are taken, the effect will be greatly reduced..."
...
...
Early April.
Cao Cao sent Cao Hong as the vanguard, Li Dian, Yue Jin as the left and right wings, Xu Chu and Dian Wei as escorts, and led his army to Luoyang to meet the emperor.
In order to prevent any accidents, Cao Cao asked Liu Bei and Guan Yu to accompany him.
As for Lin Zhe, Cao Cao allocated him 18,000 troops. Most of the soldiers were formerly Qingzhou Yellow Turbans, and the ranks were mixed.
However, the core team is not the Qingzhou Yellow Turbans and other motley crew, but the ones Liu Bei specially left to Lin Zhe. They are all veterans who followed him around.
In terms of combat power, I'm afraid it's not much better than the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry and the trapped camp.
Not only that, Guo Jia also asked Cao Cao for orders, saying that he would follow Lin Zhe so that he could monitor him secretly.
But Lin Zhe knew that this guy's real purpose was to see how he could push down Pi.
He is probably more curious about himself than this battle.
