When Cao Cao was slandering Guo, even if his father passed away, he was still thinking about the court and offering this strategy.

Of course, according to Guo Jia's analysis, Cao Cao actually had such a high awareness. But only in this way can he persuade Liu Tao to send troops and suppress Tao Qian. Xiahou Dun and others in the army and follow the army to kill him, so he can still help him vent his vent.

Under normal circumstances, Cao Cao himself has no military power, so it is difficult to dispatch it.

If Liu Chong and Liu Dai think that Liu Tao is planning to attack them, then Cao Cao, even several generals of the Xiahou clan and Cao clan, would be punished.

On the other hand, he used Cao Song's death to make Liu Tao vent his anger for him, using this as an excuse to send troops to Xuzhou. He passed by Wei and Han, and used the excuse to send troops to fight together, and took the opportunity to recruit two teams. This can be said to kill two birds with one stone.

"The summer harvest will only start for a month. Now that we are going to fight, Xun Yu may have to complain..." Liu Tao sighed. After all, he was moved by Cao Cao's open conspiracy. It was just that the military ration problem had not been solved, and the expansion of enrollment had not begun.

Maybe this action may delay the expansion of recruitment.

"This is easy to deal with. Our side only sent two thousand troops. In addition, the military rations will be handed over to Wei and Han to provide them. How about it?" Guo Jia suggested, "It only takes one or two months to fight. When the summer harvest is reached, many things can be solved."

With the national strength of the two countries, it is impossible to provide the supply of two or two thousand soldiers, right?

"Then it's true..." Liu Tao nodded, it was indeed feasible. He paused, looked at Guo Jia and asked, "Well, Fengxiao, where do you think Meng De's presupposition is going to?"

"Of course it is better to kill Tao Qian and take Xuzhou by the way. But neither Yuan Shu nor Yuan Shao would sit idly. Although even if the war starts, we are not afraid of them..." Guo Jia thought for a while and replied.

Even if there is a full-scale war now and as long as you eat the enemy without regard for the consequences, it is absolutely possible to defeat Jizhou and Youzhou. It is only after the war, it is probably so easy.

This is still the two. Without the means to effectively prevent the imperial army from advancing. Guo Jia almost certainly, all the princes in the world regard Liu Tao as their imaginary enemy, and then think about how to deal with a group of army that knows magic skills.

Anyway, if he hadn't thought about it this way. At the same time, Guo Jia had at least six to eight ways to crack the special nature of the imperial army during this period.

The most fatal problem of the imperial court at present is that it lacks military strength and cannot take care of so many battlefields. It is okay to fight and drive the enemy away, but if you want to expand the territory, the soldiers will be dispersed, others will deliberately give up the area, and then wait for the dispersion to fight back. The problem will be very serious.

Secondly, there is insufficient officials, and finally insufficient material supplies. As long as these are made good use of them, they are a big problem.

"After weighing the trade-offs and defeating Pei County is the best result." Guo Jia finally came to the conclusion.

"Pei County was originally the territory of Yuzhou. Because Prince Pei was supported by Tao Qian, he accepted it as Xuzhou." Liu Tao whispered. Tao Qian was only Xu Han's prime minister, not the monarch.

But it is probably a bit difficult to force Liu Yao to give up Tao Qian. After all, Liu Yao himself is just a puppet emperor. However, Tao Qian is too old and he has no idea to usurp the throne. The main reason is that his two sons are not good at it.

Perhaps it was because they were too kind or had no talent, so they could only harm them.

In history, Tao Qian was able to give Xuzhou to Liu Bei, so the world naturally would not usurp Liu Yao's position. Xuzhou is very likely to become a game between the Chen family and the Cao family, and the Mi family was stuck in the middle and was in a dilemma.

"In this way..." Liu Tao made a decision, "Forcing Emperor Xu Han to abdicate, become King Xu again, and submit to the court. What do you think?"

"This may be the best result!" Guo Jia nodded immediately, mainly because this is very feasible, "but there are still some conditions to make Cao Cao vent his anger."

"You can't really kill Tao Qian or Tao Qian's family, right?" Liu Tao shook his head, "At most, let Tao Qian remove his position and guard Cao Song's tomb. The two sons will be sent to Jinyang to study. How about it?"

"Governor Cao is not a reckless person, this condition should satisfy him." Guo Jia thought for a while, nodded and replied.

It's a must-have, and later found Xun Yu and explained his thoughts in detail to him.

The latter heard that he had only sent two thousand troops, and he breathed a little relieved. So when he heard that he planned to send grain from South Korea and Wei in the early stage, he added: "Your Majesty, the food in the treasury can fully support two thousand soldiers and horses, at least about three months. Since we have to follow the way and take over the military and political affairs of the two countries, we must always show enough sincerity."

"Oh, there is food..." Liu Tao was a little surprised. When did some food be produced again?

Where else can it be? It’s not the one I bought from Zhen’s side!

Anyway, Liu Tao is scheduled to expand recruitment of about 25,000 new recruits, so the excess food can be supplied to 2,000 soldiers to go out for a few months. When the summer harvest is completed, it is inevitable that he will buy another batch from Zhen's side.

Anyway, Xun Yu would never let Liu Tao know how much food and grass there is in the treasury to be dispatched. This is not intentional concealment, or something shameful, and if this is not the case, it would not be enough for him to use it.

Liu Tao is the emperor, so he does whatever he wants. However, he is the minister of the Ministry of Revenue, but he has to wipe his butt behind him.

If he is not in charge of the family, he doesn't know how expensive the food and rice are. When he does this, Wang Yun and even the Jinyiwei know it, but everyone just doesn't understand. He knows that Xun Yu has worked hard, it's really hard to blame him for this issue.

"There is not much food, and you can still squeeze out some of it." Xun Yu replied quickly. He really couldn't let go, otherwise he wouldn't know how many soldiers he would send and how large a battle he would fight. Don't just fight Xuzhou completely, right?

But there is nothing we can do! If you want to use troops to the outside world, you have to let the vassal princes provide supplies. What should you do if others underestimate it? In order to maintain the court's dignity, he can only do this. Who knew that he had just said that this person almost had a new idea again!

"Oh, don't be too forced." Liu Tao believed it, so he nodded and comforted him.

Guo Jia obviously saw through Xun Yu's flaws, but just smiled and did not expose it. It is certain that if he dared to expose it, his fate would definitely not be much better. The best result was to apply to go to the front line and be a military advisor for Guan Yu.

Otherwise, at least one layer of skin would have to be peeled off... Since Xun Yu became the Minister of Revenue, he felt that it had become more and more terrifying.

"The soldiers and horses that went out to fight were mainly Guan Yu, Xiahou Dun and Xu Huang as deputy, and it was almost the same." Liu Tao thought for a while, "two thousand people, infantry, five hundred cavalry and archers each, but they were equipped with horses for transportation."

He likes troops with strong mobility, so that he can arrive immediately if he has anything. At the same time, he also has enough physical strength to get off the horse and fight immediately even if he encounters an enemy in the middle.
