News of Lu Bu killing Yang Feng and Han Xian seizing Xiao Pei was sent back to Xu Du.?

Not only did Cao Shuo feel that the situation had changed, Cao Cao did not dare to neglect it.

He summoned everyone overnight to discuss countermeasures.

All the staff and generals of the Cao family, including Cao Shuo, came to the front hall of Cao's house.

There were many oil lamps in the front hall, making the lights reflected in the room brightly.

Everyone's eyes fell on Cao Cao's face.

"Zirong had planned to use Yang Feng and Han Xian to cause some trouble for Lu Bu, but he didn't think that Lu Bu would suddenly be in trouble." Cao Cao asked everyone, "What should our Cao family decide now?"

"Duke Cao, it's still necessary to think about whether to send troops!" One of the people here stood up and said, "The previous plan was that the second young master led his troops to Xuzhou, and Han Xian defeated Lu Bu with Yang Feng and Han Xian. Now Lu Bu has occupied Xuzhou. It is said that the Taishan bandits Zang Ba, Wu Dun and others also swore to the Sun Guan troops of our army and swore to follow Lu Bu. Now Lu Bu is full of wings, and it is not easy to defeat him. Moreover, Liu Biao in Jingzhou has always been eyeing Zhongyuan. If our army and Lu Bu are in a long battle, Liu Biao will definitely support him from behind, and Xu Du will also fall into a crisis."

When these words were said, everyone here responded and felt that the words were reasonable.

Cao Shu, Guo Jia, Xun You and others looked at each other, and they all saw their disdain for this statement from each other's eyes.

Xun You stood up and said to Cao Cao: "This statement seems to make sense, but it is not."

"What is Gongda's opinion?" Cao Cao asked.

"My opinion is very simple." Xun You said: "Xuzhou must fight!"

"Please inform us clearly!" Cao Cao said.

"Liu Biao had been severely damaged by the second son several times. Now, Sun Ce from Jiangdong has occupied Wancheng and other places, and his troops are aiming directly at Jingzhou." Xun You said: "Our army attacks Xuzhou. Although Xudu will be empty, how dare Liu Biao abandon Xiangyang and send troops to Xudu? I predict that Liu Biao will not dare to take the opportunity to act rashly when Cao Gong attacks Xuzhou this time."

Cao Cao nodded while stroking his beard.

Everyone here immediately asked Xun You: "Although what Gongda said makes sense, if Liu Biao dares to send troops, how should our army deal with it?"

"He can't send troops at all!" Xun You said in a very affirmative tone: "Liu Jingsheng has always been cautious in his work. He dared to send troops to assist Wancheng before, because no one threatened his back and forth. Now the Sun family in Jiangdong has crossed the Yangtze River. He has a deep hatred of blood with the Sun family, and he is all his energy in Jiangdong, so how can he have the heart to look north?"

"Does anyone think what Gongda said makes sense?" Cao Cao asked everyone.

"Father, I think Gongda's words are polite." Cao Shu stood up and said, "After many things before, Liu Biao is now too busy to take care of himself, so how can he have the heart to deal with us?"

Cao Shu stood on Xun You's side, and half of the people present suddenly turned over.

Xiahou Dun stood up and said, "Duke Cao, if I want to attack Lu Bu, I am willing to be the pioneer."

"Yuan Rang didn't speak just now, why did he be a pioneer now?" Cao Cao asked with a smile.

"The second young master said he could fight, what else should we worry about?" Xiahou Dun said: "Lu Bu is making trouble in Xuzhou, sooner or later, Cao Gong is a big trouble for Cao Gong. If he doesn't take Xiao Pei, Cao Gong will also beat him. At this time, he took Xiao Pei and became famous for his master."

"General Xiahou said it well!" Xun You said again: "Duke Cao, Lu Bu is brave and good at fighting. If he and Yuan Shu are together, he will definitely be in the Huai River and Si River. If he wants to destroy him at that time, he will probably be much more difficult."

"Does anyone else feel that they shouldn't be beaten?" Cao Cao asked everyone.

There was no more objection in the hall.

Cao Shu all expressed his attitude, and it would be useless to oppose them any more.

"Since no one objected, I will give an order!" Cao Cao looked at Xiahou Dun: "Yuan Rang is the vanguard, lead the troops into Xuzhou first, and I will lead the army to come afterwards!"

"Mr. Cao is wise!" Everyone stood up and agreed.

"Let's go!" Cao Cao waved his hand and then said to Cao Shu: "Zirong, stay, I have something to say to you!"

Everyone retreated, but Cao Shu remained in the hall.

"Zi Rong." When Cao Shuo was left in the hall, Cao Cao said, "The army is about to go, and the ritual ceremony of the late emperor is coming soon. What are your plans?"

"I'm afraid I can't attend the ceremony." Cao Shu said: "It's too dangerous for General Xiahou to go deep alone. I want to lead his troops to Xuzhou one after another, and there is also a support between each other."

"I think so too." Cao Cao said: "I will organize the ceremony of the late emperor. If you and Xiahou Dun advance, you can slow down a little."

"I will go outside the city to prepare a large army tomorrow morning." Cao Shu said: "Although I don't have many soldiers under my command, I can still do it after being entangled with Lu Bu for some time."

"I feel relieved with you and Yuan Rang to support each other." Cao Cao said: "When do you think it is most appropriate to attack Yuan Shu?"

"Once Lu Bu is defeated, I feel it is most appropriate to attack Yuan Shu immediately." Cao Shu said: "Our army attacks Xuzhou this time, Hebei is busy capturing Yijing. Although Tian Feng, Ju Su and others reminded him, Yuan Shao did not have the intention to go south. The only thing Lu Bu could rely on was Yuan Shu in Huainan."

"Yuan Shu is already unable to protect himself, so he will still rush to help Lu Bu?" Cao Cao asked.

"The lips are dead and the teeth are cold." Cao Shu said: "Although Yuan Shu is stupid, he is not stupid. He knew that once our army conquered Xuzhou, Huainan would sooner or later fall into the hands of our Cao family. It is inevitable that the troops will rush to help Lu Bu."

"Lu Bu got Xiao Pei, and he already had tens of thousands of troops under his command. With the support of Yuan Shu in Huainan, this time the attack on Xuzhou is not an easy task!" Cao Cao said: "If you lead troops into Xuzhou, you have to be careful of everything!"

"Don't worry, my father, I know what to do." Cao Shuo said: "I have said something that I once said, and I want to ask my father for permission."

"Don't you kill Lu Bu?" Cao Cao asked.

"That's right!" Cao Shu said: "Lu Bu has a grudge against Liu Bei. Once Xuzhou is defeated, Liu Bei will definitely persuade his father to kill him. I want to ask his father to leave Lu Bu a way out."

"Lu Bu is very brave. If he is in trouble with me again in the future, what should I do?" Cao Cao said: "Keep him behind means leaving only a seemingly gentle tiger by his side."

"If my father is not at ease, I can hand over Lu Bu to me." Cao Shuo said: "I don't have much military power in my hands. Even if I transfer troops to him, there will be only one or two thousand people. I don't plan to let Lu Bu lead the troops alone and stay by my side. He will not be able to do anything if he only gives false titles but not real power."

"Are you going to take him to Huainan?" Cao Cao asked.

"That's right." Cao Shu said: "If Lu Bu is by his child's side, he will definitely be like a tiger in the future!"

"I will agree to you, you have to bear it if something happens." Cao Cao thought for a while and said.
