Three Kingdoms

In the autumn morning, the mist lingers on the mountain tops, like a layer of gauze covering the indigo-colored mountains.

The soldiers in Feiqian Camp and Yufuluo Camp had already gotten up early and started to be as busy as worker bees. For these people living at the bottom, any lofty views, foresight, and lofty ideals are all too far away. All they have is a bowl of porridge in front of them and a piece of clothing on their bodies.

Fei Qian sent Guo Jia out of the camp with a smile and said goodbye.

Guo Jia looked at a batch of supplies that had been prepared aside, raised his hands in salute and said, "On behalf of Mr. Cao, I would like to thank Zhonglang for his kindness!" After saying this, he was about to bow down.

Fei Qian stretched out his hand, supported Guo Jia, and said: "We are all Han ministers, and we are related to the common people. We should help each other. We don't have to do this to serve as filial piety. Now I will take this food and grass back first. I will raise a few and send someone else to send it." To Dongjun.”

Guo Jia thanked him again, and then took his guards and his party, took over the five baggage trucks, and staggered toward the east.

"The swallow is flying, and its feathers are missing."

Fei Qian looked at Guo Jia and his party who were walking away, and he didn't know why such a sentence came up in his heart.

After all, you can't keep people who don't belong to you.

Fei Qian shook his head and sighed.

Just like a swallow, no matter how well-maintained its feathers are here, they will fly south when the time comes, and fluttering will not leave any clouds behind.

Guo Jia tried his best to plan for Cao Cao. Although he may not have been planning for a long time, it still made Fei Qian feel a little uncomfortable.

Everyone has their own right to choose which path to take. Maybe this right seems ridiculous to others.

Guo Jia is a branch of the gentry, hanging on the edge of the gentry's children, dangling around. When people in the Guo family mention him, most of them look at him with disgust. No one thinks highly of him. Naturally, things like promoting filial piety and honesty to being an official will never be done. It's not his turn.

Except Cao Cao.

Cao Cao was the first person who did not care about his appearance or his rude actions, but was willing to sit down and listen to what he said seriously and consider his strategies.

What's more important is that Cao Cao's status is just right. He is not as prominent as Yuan Shao to the point of being unable to climb up, and he is not like Fei Qian who just crawled out of the mud. Naturally, this is the best choice.

Cao Cao treated Guo Jia as a national scholar, and Guo Jia naturally repaid him as a national scholar.

If Fei Qian hadn't been a little alert, he might have fallen into the pit dug by Guo Jia.

Fei Qian finally confirmed Guo Jia's plan after verbal testing. It seemed that he was considering the problem from Fei Qian's perspective, and it was indeed feasible to a certain extent, but it was basically a plan for Cao Cao.

Guo Jia had already considered the relationship between Cao Cao and Yuan Shao at such an early stage, which had to be admired by Fei Qian. In order to avoid causing Yuan Shao's attention as much as possible during Cao Cao's development period, Guo Jia wanted to take Fei Qian into consideration. Push to the front.

As long as Fei Qian occupies Shangdang and Taiyuan, he will definitely live next to Yuan Shao. In addition, Cao Cao's intentional and unintentional publicity later will definitely attract Yuan Shao's attention. In this way, Cao Cao can feel at ease through this opportunity to establish a foothold in Yanzhou.

Unlike Er Yuan who can own a large territory at the beginning, Cao Cao and Fei Qian have one thing in common. They both need time to develop, so it is a good thing to have someone in front to attract firepower...

While obtaining supplies from Fei Qian, and using Fei Qian as a shield in front of him, all he had to pay for it was a superficial planning strategy for a Bingzhou land. Guo Jia's calculation was quite worthwhile.

Another point is that Guo Jia did not mention the previous agreement, as if he had forgotten it, this...

"Zhonglang, why did you agree to give him war horses and supplies again?" Xu Shu asked from the side.

Fei Qian nodded. He didn't want to give it to him at first, but after thinking about it, he gave it to him. One aspect was that Guo Jia was too shrewd. Fortunately, he met him halfway. If he got to Pingyang, he might be able to see from it. After all, his power is not strong enough to ignore any plot, so it is better to send him away early.

Another very important factor is that Fei Qian considered that since Guo Jia wants to stand in front as a shield, can he also let Cao Cao stand in front?

Cao Cao will break up with Yuan Shao sooner or later, but the relationship between them is pretty good now, at least they haven't broken their skin, so can I add a little sand or something to increase the feeling of friction between Yuan and Cao?

Accumulate food widely and slowly become king.

This sentence seems to apply everywhere.

However, not everyone may be able to resist the temptation of false fame. Even though they are passing by with nearly 10,000 soldiers and horses, nearly half of them do not completely belong to them.

At this point in time, is it really a good thing to jump out and show your ambition to the world?

Fei Qian said: "Send a vigilant person to Yecheng to thank Xu Ziyuan for his help, and then..." Fei Qian's voice lowered and he whispered a few words in Xu Shu's ear.

Xu Shu rolled his eyes and nodded, saying that he would make arrangements.

At this stage, it is indeed a pity that our own intelligence organization has not been able to run it. We are short of manpower...

If left to Cui Hou, this range of activities is basically enough for now, but the security is not too strong...

Xu Shu, this job is actually very energy-consuming. If Xu Shu does it, it means that he may not be able to take care of other aspects...

Jia Qu, well, he’s a bit younger, so I’m afraid there are some things that are difficult to take care of...

Okay, let's put this aside for now.

The most critical thing now is to adjust the attack plan against Shangdang. Because of Guo Jia's words, the original plan can no longer be used.

"Yuan Zhi, the Shangdang may need to get it quickly..." Guo Jia's arrival also sounded a wake-up call to Fei Qian. At this stage, I must not be the target of public criticism. Being the pioneer at the front is called the Sharp Knife Company, which means that I can be ambushed at any time and at any time, and I must be ready to see blood at any time and at any time. And my current foundation can compete with it. Are there knives in all directions?

Now we have to grab time without attracting the limelight, so we have to be particular about how to get the Shangdang in our hands.

Xu Shu turned to look at Fei Qian and said, "Has the situation changed? What does Zhonglang mean?"

Fei Qian nodded and said: "The big tree attracts the wind. If we go straight to Shangdang, this..."

According to the current strength of the troops, it is simply crushing to deal with Zhang Yang's soldiers. Guang Feiqian's infantry is enough to match Zhang Yang's soldiers, not to mention there are so many Han cavalry and Hu cavalry, easily There is no problem in releasing a critical hit from a loose attack.

The disparity in military strength means that as long as Fei Qian marches steadily, there is basically no problem in taking down Shangdang. However, the problem now is not Zhang Yang, but Yuan Shao.

Pingyang is still some distance from Jizhou, and no one has paid attention to the Northland for a long time. In addition, the speed of information circulation in the Han Dynasty was not fast. Therefore, at this stage, most people do not know how many troops Fei Qian has. But after all, Shangdang and Hanoi and Jizhou are only separated by a mountain. Once Fei Qian's military strength is displayed, it means that he will be exposed to Yuan Shao's eyes.

Fei Qian turned his attention to the southern Xiongnu camp on one side...
