When Guo Xin mentioned Liu Biao in Jingzhou, Cao Shu said, "I want you two to come here, it's actually for Liu Biao."

"Is my husband worried that he would go to war with Liu Bei and that Liu Biao would make trouble behind his back?" Guo Xin asked.

"That's right." Cao Shu said: "Liu Biao is not willing to be an enemy of the Cao family, and I have to be careful of him at all times."

"Then go to war with Liu Biao." Guo Xin said: "Before he is using troops to Huainan, your husband will first use troops to him."

"Fight on two fronts?" Cao Shu said: "In this way, my chances of winning are not great!"

"Without Liu Biao fighting on both sides of the husband," Guo Xin said: "Sun Ce in Jiangdong hated Liu Biao to the core. If his husband could find a good and eloquent person to go to Jiangdong, he would definitely be willing to work with his husband to defeat Liu Biao."

"Pang Shiyuancai took Wancheng from Sun Ce." Cao Shuo said, "I'm afraid he has a grudge and refuses to cooperate with me."

"My husband really thinks that Wancheng was taken by Pang Shiyuan?" Guo Xin smiled slightly: "If I was right, it should be because Sun Ce refused to ask for it, so he handed it over to Pang Shiyuan."

"What do you mean is that Sun Ce wants to use my hand to stop Liu Biao from going to Jiangdong?" Cao Shuo asked.

"Liu Biao has no intention of going to Jiangdong." Guo Xin said: "The Yangtze River is natural danger in Jiangdong, and hundreds of thousands of troops are difficult to break through. Liu Biao is not as powerful as that. There is only a check and balance between him and Sun Ce."

"I may understand what you mean." Cao Shuo said: "If Sun Ce wants to break this check and balance, I have to mix it up."

"Husband is really smart. I have only spoken for a while, but I saw through it." Guo Xin bowed and said.

"No matter how smart I am, I can still be as smart as you, the military advisor." Cao Shuo smiled humbly and said to Guo Xin and Jia Pei: "You two go to the same room tonight, and I want to be favored at the same time."

Just as he was talking about how to deal with Liu Bei and Liu Biao, Cao Shu suddenly changed the subject, and Guo Xin and Jappe were all over the top.

Cao Shu is indeed Cao Shu. After saying a few words, he could think of spoiling them at the same time at night.

Knowing that Cao Shu would have nothing serious about staying here, Guo Xin and Jia Pei stood up.

Guo Xin said: "My husband wants to favor us. Just go directly to the room at night. Now I will ask you to consider who to send to Jiangdong."

"No need to think about it." Cao Shuo said: "No one is suitable except Cao Jun."

He shouted outside the door: "Please come here."

Cai Ji agreed at the door and then left.

Guo Xin said: "My husband wants to discuss important matters with Mr. Jun, so we will take our leave first!"

"Remember to wait for me in the room tonight!" Cao Shuo grinned at her and Jiapei.

The two women bowed and retreated.

Cao Shu had thought about the suggestion made by Guo Xin, but he was not sure that doing so would be effective.

He helped Sun Ce to seize Wancheng earlier, so that Jingzhou was threatened by Jiangdong at any time.

Now Ancheng has fallen into Pang Tong's hands.

It was indeed Sun Ce who wanted to give Wancheng to him, so that was okay.

If the Jiangdong defenders were afraid of the troops brought by Pang Tong and fled, this matter would be complicated.

Holding his chin, Cao Shu was still wondering how likely it was to unite with Jiangdong. Cai Ji went into the house to report: "Young Master Qi, Mr. Jun is here!"

"Please come in." Cao Shu ordered.

Cai Ji retreated to the door and said to Cao Jun who was guarding the door: "Please come in, Mr. Jun."

Cao Jun thanked him and then entered the room.

He bowed to Cao Shu and said, "I have met my brother."

"You don't have to be too polite without outsiders." Cao Shu raised his hand and said, "If you come here, there is something you have to do."

"Brother, please tell me." Cao Jun replied.

"Sun Ce from Jiangdong, do you dare to see him?" Cao Shuo asked.

"I dared to see General Lu when I went to Xia Pi." Cao Jun said, "What are you afraid of going to see Sun Ce?"

"Before you meet Sun Ce, you have to go and meet Pang Shiyuan first." Cao Shuo said: "It is very important to confirm whether he took Wancheng or whether the Jiangdong Army took the initiative to give up."

"Brother, don't worry, I will definitely ask clearly." Cao Jun responded, and then asked Cao Shuo: "I don't know what my brother asked me to see Sun Ce and want to say to him."

"Liu Bei is planning to march towards Shouchun." Cao Shu said: "Sima Zhongda is about to kill him head-on. It is not easy for him to defeat Liu Bei with one army. When Pang Shiyuan comes back and mobilizes all the soldiers to Xuzhou, I am worried that Liu Jingsheng will be stabbed in the back."

"Brother meant to join forces with Sun Ce from Jiangdong to compete with Liu Bei for Xuzhou while fighting with Liu Biao in the south?" Cao Jun asked.

"That's what it means." Cao Shu said: "It's just that I can't stay in Lujiang. Liu Jingsheng has a big family and a big business in Jingzhou. I can't do anything to him for a while. As long as you can convince Sun Ce to unite with me, I will be 100% sure to defeat Liu Bei."

Cao Jun asked, "Brother, when will I set off?"

"Things are important, and I can't afford to delay." Cao Shuo said: "You will set out early tomorrow morning."

Cao Jun replied with his fist: "This time I go to Jiangdong, I will definitely convince Sun Ce to join forces with my brother."

Cao Shu nodded and watched Cao Jun leave.

A few days later, outside Pengcheng City in Xuzhou, a soldier was dormant in the woods.

Sima Yi stood by the woods and looked at Pengcheng in the distance.

"General, should we launch an attack during the day or launch a large number of troops at night?" a captain stepped forward and asked.

"Send troops?" Sima Yi said: "In the style of a young master, he has never captured the city without bloodshed. If it is not necessary, he will definitely not let the soldiers attack."

"Did the general have a way to seize Pengcheng without bloodshed?" the captain asked in surprise.

"Of course there is." Sima Yi said: "In the evening, you will bring a hundred soldiers to the enemy's armor, and say that you are coming to work together to defend Pengcheng under the order of Liu Xuande."

"Take only a hundred people?" The captain was stunned.

"If there are too many people, how could the defenders not find out?" Sima Yi said: "When you have fewer people, they will only interrogate them a little, so that you may enter the city."

"I understand what the general means." The captain said: "After entering the city, we immediately occupy the city gate and wait for the general to lead the soldiers into the city."

Sima Yi said to the captain: "Whether the soldiers can enter the city without bloodshed depends on how you deal with it."

"Don't worry, General!" said the captain: "There won't be too many defenders in Pengcheng, and it is not difficult for us to seize the city gate."

"Once you enter the city, I will lead my army out." Sima Yi said: "The enemy's counterattack is all in you."

"I have followed the young master for a long time and have also been on the battlefield many times." The captain said: "Can you still be afraid of them?"

He patted his arm gently and Sima Yi said, "Go ahead, there will be a fierce battle tonight."
