Looking at Cao Cao's extremely expectant eyes, Xun Yu's face was also extremely calm at this moment.

For him, Cao Cao had to ask questions first when making major decisions to seek his opinions.

This time is naturally no exception.

After a little thought, Xun Yu was wearing a Confucian robe and exuding a burst of fragrance all over his body, so he slowly bowed and said:

"Lord, I will discuss the suggestions from Guozi Ni just now!"

After this, he immediately said:

"The reason has been said just now, Yu is not repeating here." Xun Yu paused and continued: "The lord now has several counties in Yanzhou, which can be said to be in the world, between the hinterlands of the Central Plains."

"It is not difficult to imagine that the only way for the lord to make progress and develop in the future is the Central Plains states."

"But with the previous battle with Lu Bu and being attacked by natural disasters such as locust plagues, Yanzhou today has long since disappeared, but has declined."

"Every state and county are filled with endless corpses, which can be said to be exposed to the wilderness, and there is no rooster crowing thousands of miles away."

After these words, Xun Yu's expression showed a slightly moved look, and then said:

"Now that Yanzhou is so broken, then the lord is no longer suitable to continue to use Yanzhou as the basis and must continue to find a new foundation."

"Yuzhou has always been rich in population, with its economy and people's livelihood second only to Yanzhou, and the wars that have been affected today are far less than Yanzhou, and the brilliance that has been affected by counties is not that serious."

"Besides, Yingchuan County has always been known as a heroic place."

"Yuzhou is the best foundation for being able to compete for the Central Plains as the lord, and then merge all the heroes one after another, and then unify the Central Plains."

"But now the Yuan family does not give our army time to recuperate and develop Yanzhou, so this battle is imperative!"

"The Chen State should interfere in the matter. It is impossible to make Yuzhou fall into the hands of Yuan's army, otherwise the situation of our army will become more passive!"

After repeated words, Xun Yu confides as if he is calm.

However, he was able to make Cao Cao, who was in the main position, responded with a key response after hearing this.

This speaking skills and grasp of the situation can indeed help you understand Xun Yu's cleverness.

With Xun Yu's strong support, sending troops was inevitable for Cao Cao.

After a few words, Li Dian, a young man with a gentle and elegant appearance on the other side, couldn't help but show a look of worry and reminded him:

"Lord, but that's it, our army has just pacified Yanzhou and expelled Lu Bu. The counties and counties have not yet recovered their anger. If we continue to use big weapons, it is difficult to stockpile enough food and grass for a while!"

As soon as this statement was spoken, it was immediately echoed by most civil and military people.

After defeating Lu Bu and taking over Yanzhou again, the powerful men and women in Yanzhou seemed to have seen Cao Cao's outstanding abilities and guessed that he would achieve something in the future.

Therefore, over the past few days, there have been many scholars who have been dependent on the Yanzhou ethnic group.

The Li family was originally a famous family in Yanzhou.

Li Dian's words just now basically replaced the gentry.

Of course, what he said is true. After some military disasters and natural disasters, the harvest of the counties in Yanzhou is now poor, and it is indeed not yet time to get a harvest.

At least it still needs to rest for several years before regaining vitality.

But it would be a bit too much if you say that even the food and supplies for the troops sent can't be raised.

Among these wealthy families in Yanzhou, who had no land annexation, gathered and secretly raised tenants and a lot of land?

At least I secretly accumulated the consumption that I could support the cost of the military for several years.

If they were willing to pay some money and food to help each other, how could Cao Cao not have the capital to rise again?

This sentence came slowly.

But it made Cao Cao, who was above the main position, look a little unhappy, and a hint of sharpness flashed in his eyes, but it disappeared in a blink of an eye.

He naturally understood the purpose of Li Dian's words.

The implication is that you should not expect to get money from their pockets in this battle and have solved the urgent need for sending troops.

Even though this statement made Cao Cao a little angry, he knew that it was not the time for an attack.

Yanzhou has just been recaptured. He wants to be completely stable and control Yanzhou is bound to help the local wealthy families.

I have offended these people, and I don’t know when I will surely come to Yanzhou again and all the people will rebel.

As the leader of the wealthy families in Yanzhou, Li Dian also had plans in his mind.

Cao Cao's current forces are not too strong in comparison.

At least it is sandwiched between Yuan Shao, Jizhou and Yuan Shu, Huainan. I wonder if there is a chance to change your fate against the will of heaven and fight for a bloody path.

The nobles of Yanzhou naturally reached an agreement to temporarily not invest heavily in the Cao family, so as not to lose everything they have done after the failure.

But even though the wealthy families did not support it, Cao Cao heard the target that Xun Yu pointed out incisively, how could he remain indifferent and watch Yuan’s army march into the Central Plains?

Upon hearing this, Cao Cao showed a serious expression on his face and responded in a deep voice:

"Wen Ruo's words have already made it very clear."

"If Yuan Shu's army is ordered to swallow Chen State, then all the good situation will be gone."

"Our army is thinking about fighting for the land of Yuzhou, and it will be more and more difficult."

"At that time, the Yuan army will take the initiative. They can gather the main force to attack Yanzhou. They can also rely on the mountainous and steep terrain in Runan County in southern Yuzhou to build an unbreakable line of defense to dominate the southeast Yangzhou line and accumulate strength quietly."

A deep voice fell.

As he spoke more and more, Cao Cao's expression gradually changed at this time, and his eyes gradually became extremely firm and confident.

"Therefore, I have decided to fight and have decided to do it. This time, 20,000 infantry and cavalry will be raised. I will lead the general in person and go south to compete with the Yuan family for the ownership of Yuzhou."

A stress fell again.

Cao Cao was extremely determined to send troops.

Seeing that his attitude was so firm, people naturally knew that they could not persuade him.

Xun Yu, who was on the other side, could not stop smiling when he saw Cao Cao's chest with such a strong fighting spirit at this moment.

This is the master he likes!

Even with endless difficulties, the determined combat plan will not be changed.

"With someone like my lord, maybe my assistance is the most correct choice, right?"

"I hope he can work with me to help the king and assist the country, recreate the glory of the Han Dynasty, and become a loyal minister of the Han Dynasty!"

After a while, Xun Yu slowly pondered in his heart.
