Cao Cao's actions must be to win back Xi Yu's heart.

This is not a bad idea.

He didn't rush to watch, he just nodded and responded.

"Ming Gong is like this, you know it!"

After putting the letter in his sleeve, Xun Yu couldn't help but look up at Cao Cao.

Having finished talking about Xi Yu, what we should talk about now is how to defeat Yuan Shu and also deal with the princes in the world.

Now, Cao Cao has just brought back 200,000 troops, and they still need to be reorganized.

In addition, winter is about to enter, so it is not appropriate to launch an army in a hurry.

Naturally, it is impossible to shelve the matter of Yuan Shu proclaiming himself emperor.

In addition, the reactions of princes all over the world are not the same.

"Ming Gong, at this time, the emperor can issue an edict and call on all the princes in the world to join forces to attack Yuan Shu!"

Xun Yu opened his mouth.

Hearing this, Cao Cao on the side nodded.

"I know it in my heart, but it may not be easy to expect the princes of the world to send troops to attack Yuan Shu on this occasion!"

Cao Cao breathed a sigh of relief.

Nowadays, he is the only one who will take the initiative to attack Yuan Shu and must attack Yuan Shu.

The rest of the princes, even if they were nominally complying with the imperial edict, they would still push back and delay.

It is impossible to count on those princes.

And if he continues to lead troops to attack Yuan Shu this time, Cao Cao will be worried about instability in the Guanzhong area.

Originally, the purpose of this westward advance was to completely control and pacify the entire Guanzhong area in one fell swoop.

However, who would have thought that at this moment, Yuan Shu would actually act like proclaiming himself emperor.

This really surprised Cao Cao.

In desperation, he could only put aside his westward march for the time being and choose to return to the army to attack Yuan Shu again.

"What Ming Gong is worried about is nothing more than chaos in Guanzhong!"

"It's easy!"

Seeing Cao Cao frowning at this moment, Xun You, who was next to Xun Yu, seemed to understand something for a moment.

At this time, he did not hesitate at all.

Originally, Xun You followed Cao Cao and planned to wipe out the entire Guanzhong and Sili areas in one fell swoop.

However, things are unpredictable, and Yuan Shu's move to proclaim himself emperor disrupted their strategy of advancing westward.

But, Guanzhong, Sili’s problem.

In fact, in Xun You's opinion, it's not too much trouble.

Nowadays, the most powerful army in the entire Guanzhong region is Li Jue's army, and it is not difficult to deal with Li Jue.

Except for Li Jue, the rest of the Guanzhong and Sili areas are just some rogue bandits who are making trouble everywhere.

Just send any general and the matter can be settled.

It’s not difficult to say.

Hearing Xun You speak, Cao Cao's eyes instantly lifted up. After his eyes fell on Xun You, Cao Cao couldn't help but speak.

"Gongda already has a good plan in mind?"

"Let's talk quickly and listen!"

Cao Cao raised his eyebrows slightly and his tone was quite excited.

After hearing this, Xun You didn't hesitate at all and started to explain directly.

"Ming Gong has previously sent his servant Pei Mao to station in Guanzhong. This time, he can issue an edict and send him to win over the generals in Guanzhong to attack Li Jue together!"

"Furthermore, Zhong Yao of the Yingchuan Zhong family is quite talented. When he heard about the Xuchang mutiny, he didn't do much!"

"Ming Gong can also send him to Guanzhong this time, stationed in Chang'an, and supervise the troops in Guanzhong. In this way, Guanzhong and the Sili area will have no worries!"

Xun You opened his mouth and directly came up with measures to target the Guanzhong and Sili areas.

After hearing this, Cao Cao's eyes couldn't help but brighten.

He almost forgot about the visitor Pei Mao he sent before. The original intention of marching westward was to ask him to cooperate and then pacify the entire Guanzhong and Sili areas.,

Now that we are unable to advance westward, the idea proposed by Xun You is just right.

As for Zhong Yao, during the Xuchang mutiny, although he apparently indulged the emperor in leaving the palace, compared with Yang Biao, Dong Cheng and others.

Zhong Yao seems to be more aware of current affairs.

This time Xun You mentioned the move of dispatching this person to Guanzhong, which was not bad.

If you come here, you can completely clean up the whole of Xuchang. If you come here, you can also solve the troubles in Guanzhong.

It couldn't be better.

Cao Cao nodded: "What Gongda said is true. I will report to Your Majesty at the meeting tomorrow to make this arrangement!"

After solving the problem of Guanzhong, the only thing left now is when to send troops to attack Yuan Shu.

At this moment, Cao Cao was thinking about what to do!

Xun Yu on the side saw that his nephew had already come up with a strategy for Guanzhong, and at this moment he also thought of someone.

"Ming Gong, I forgot about Sun Ce, who has a good reputation these days!"

Some time ago, Sun Ce directly informed the world that he and Yuan Shu had broken up.

But now, most of the area under Yuan Shu's command was ultimately conquered by Sun Ce.

If Sun Ce can be allowed to take the initiative to send troops to attack Yuan Shu, then things will become easier.

When Xun Yu mentioned Sun Ce, Cao Cao couldn't help but raise his head and look at Xun Yu.

Sun Ce?

Thinking of this guy, Cao Cao couldn't help but frown.

"Wen Ruo, what do you mean by this?"

Cao Cao had some guesses in his mind, but when he saw that Xun Yu had not finished speaking, he decided to listen to what he had to say before reading.

Xun Yu followed and spoke.

"Ming Gong, since Sun Ce has told the world that he and Yuan Shu have broken up, his teammates are still respected by the Han court!"

"It will take some time for our army to go out for the expedition this time. We might as well send Sun Ce to attack Yuan Shu first with the emperor's edict!"

"If you think about it, Sun Ce won't refuse!"

When Xun Yu opened his mouth, Cao Cao immediately understood.

Just because Sun Ce was dissatisfied with the imperial edict given to him by the previous court, it can be seen that this person's ambitions are not small.

Before, there was always a friendship between him and Yuan Shu.

Even though Yuan Shu proclaimed himself emperor, Sun Ce did not directly send troops to attack him. In the final analysis, he still had some scruples.

However, if he issued an edict from the emperor, the ambitious Sun Ce would definitely not refuse.

Xun Yu's words spoke to Cao Cao's heart.

At present, it will take some time for the army to go out, but let Sun Ce go to attack Yuan Shu first, and test Sun Ce's proficiency on the one hand.

On the other hand, it can also alleviate the pressure on Xuzhou.

If Sun Ce attacks Yuan Shu, Yuan Shu will naturally have no time to send another army to attack Xuzhou.

This couldn't be better!

At this time, the advice from the Xun family uncle and nephew made Cao Cao feel very good.

However, compared to Cao Cao's mood, the generals of the Cao family clan were in a worse mood at this time.

For Cao Hong and others, they don’t know what Cao Cao thinks.

Obviously Naxi Fengyi had already dragged his family and left Xuchang. This move was obviously a sign of rebellion.

At this time, Cao Cao was not in a hurry to attack and denounce the other party, but also declared that the other party was Xuzhou Mu, which is simply unbelievable.

However, Cao Hong and others are more or less aware of Cao Cao's temperament.

Even though they were dissatisfied, at this time, they were not in a hurry to express their opinions.

After all, everyone is still afraid of Cao Cao.

Opening your mouth at this time is tantamount to scolding.
