Seeing Xun Yu coming forward to plead for Cao Ren, Cao Cao looked up at Xun Yu, but his face was still gloomy and his anger was not gone. ````The personal soldiers who had already walked into the hall saw this situation and stood behind Cao Ren with a look of dismay, not knowing what to do.

At this time, Xun Yu shook his head gently at them and waved his hand to signal them to retreat. The two burly soldiers immediately understood and looked at Cao Cao carefully. Seeing that he looked up at the beam of the main hall, he quickly withdrew from the main hall with relief.

When the soldiers left, everyone in the hall couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief and breathed much smoother.

In fact, Xun Yu, Cheng Yu, Man Chong and Liu Ye all knew that Cao Cao would definitely not kill Cao Ren. Who is Cao Ren? He was Cao Cao's clan brother, a real direct general, and a general in the army. Even if Cao Ren committed a huge mistake, Cao Cao would not be willing to kill him. This is an unquestionable fact, and everyone in the Cao army knows it.

However, people are inevitably unruly in a fit of rage. Since ancient times, there have been many civil and military officials who have been mistakenly killed or killed by the master. For this reason, Xun Yu and others should be dissuaded in time, which is the duty of their ministers.

Even though he knew that the Lord was bluffing and his words were not in line with his heart, he had to come forward to persuade him to calm his anger. What is the point of sharing worries for the Lord?

Among the four counselors in the hall who were qualified to come forward to plead with love was Xun Yu, who was regarded as "my son's house" by Cao Cao.

In recent years, Xun Yu not only has outstanding political achievements and has made many outstanding achievements, but also recommended many talented talents to Cao Cao. Xi Zhicai, Chen Qun, Zhong Yao, Yan Xiang, Du Xi and others were all recommended by Xun Yu. These people were entrusted with important tasks by Cao Cao and were highly appreciated. The only disadvantage is that Xun Yu also recommended his nephew Xun You to Cao Cao, but his younger brother Xun Chen took the lead and deceived Xun You to Xiliang in advance. He was entrustment under Li Li. Although there was some regret, the flaws did not cover up the merits. Xun Yu's contribution to Cao's army was undoubtedly huge, and Cao Cao relied on him very much and was obvious to all.

To this day, Xun Yu is already the well-deserved leader of Cao Cao, and is firmly ranked first among civil servants. In addition, he has a great reputation among the Cao army. Even if the Cao family is a noble person, Cao Ren, Cao Chun and Cao Hong, he is very respectful to him, and he must respectfully say "Xun Lingjun" when meeting.

Therefore, Cao Cao was furious and wanted to kill Cao Ren, Cheng Yu, Liu Ye and others, for fear that Cao Cao would be angry with him, so only Xun Yu stood up and pleaded for Cao Ren in a blunt manner.

Seeing that two soldiers retreated outside the hall, Cao Cao did not stop this, Xun Yu knew it in his heart and roughly guessed Cao Cao's thoughts or concerns.

After thinking for a while, Xun Yu said respectfully: "This time, our army has been slow to investigate the movements of the Xiliang army for a long time, which has delayed the military situation. The crime is unforgivable, but it is understandable. The reason is that our army does not do its best to do its best, but that it has been a detailed plan of arresting various princes after Youzhou was occupied by the Xiliang army. Many checks were set up, and the news was blocked.

The fact that Li Li forced Gongsun Zan to surrender and took Youzhou was proof of the fact that our army did everything possible to send back the news, but it was still more than two months late. The same was true for delaying military information this time. Li Li led his army to fight outside the frontier, but his military advisor Guo Jia was on guard at Youzhou, leading troops to resist the attack of Ju Yi's army, and strictly blocked the checkpoints along the way, making Youzhou almost isolated from the outside, and the information could not be sent out at all.

What's more, our army is stationed in Qingzhou, and it is still separated from Youzhou by Jizhou. In addition, Li Li's army is fighting outside the frontier, thousands of miles away. Whether it is the Xiliang army in Youzhou or Yuan Shao in Jizhou, they are hunting and killing all parties, blocking border passes, cutting off caravans, and prohibiting pedestrians from passing. In this case, whether it is a flying pigeon transmission or a whistle-cavalry transmission, the news cannot be transmitted directly. The meticulous workers can only keep turning around, sending secretly, and after many twists and turns, they will report the news. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is a great deal of hardship." As he spoke, Xun Yu looked solemn, his face was solemn, and his tone was filled with a strong sigh and emotion.

Speaking of this, Xun Yu paused and sighed softly: "At this point, even if we are unwilling to admit it, we must face it. This is the intelligence blockade and detailed organization of the Xiliang Army is much more stringent than that of us. Its detailed operations are almost everywhere in all states, counties, and even counties. Any situation that happens at any time and where can be transmitted to Li Li as soon as possible, making him know the situation in the world. But we are kept in the dark and do not observe it, but we know nothing about the movements of the Xiliang Army.

This is extremely dangerous, tantamount to being in the light, while Li Li and his Xiliang army are in the dark. This light and darkness cause us to be in a passive situation. We must always beware of every move of the Xiliang army, otherwise we will always be led by Li Li, at an absolute disadvantage, and there will be more dangers."

This is Xun Yu and Xun Wenruo, whom Cao Cao called "my son's house". He can often see the essence through phenomena, learn from one example and see the potential threat behind the matter from two consecutive delays. His sharp eyes, quick thoughts, and long-term insights are really amazing.

It is worth mentioning that since the establishment of the Alliance against Yuan, the entire Cao army no longer called Li Li the "Li thief" from Cao Cao, but called him the name directly. If outsiders were present, they would call him the official name "General" or "leader of the alliance". From this, it can be seen that the entire Cao army, including Cao Cao, was very afraid of Li Li and his Xiliang army, and was very secretive. They did not dare to make a living, for fear that Li Li would be caught by him, and then they would take the opportunity to cause trouble and provoke the war.

On the contrary, as long as Cao Cao is not caught by Li Li, they will be allies of the alliance to fight against Yuan. Even if Li Li is strong, he cannot provoke the war for no reason, and he will not be able to do so. Otherwise, if he is unstoppable and provoke the war for no reason, he will be unable to hide his words and will be despised by the world. This is the origin of the reputation of war since ancient times when fighting has been famous. In the final analysis, it is still: if you have the truth, you will have many help but lose the truth and few help, and if you win the hearts of the people, you will win the world.

Xun Yu's words undoubtedly hit Cao Cao's thoughts, expressed his thoughts, and pointed out his deepest worries.

For several months, the reason why Cao Cao remained silent was not only to pacify the rear of Qingzhou, but also to sit on the wall and wait for the battle in Youzhou to decide the outcome. The situation he most wanted to see was that the Western Liang army under Li Li's command and the Barbarian army were both defeated, or the Western Liang army was defeated, which was the ideal result. With his understanding of Li Li and his command and the Western Liang army, he knew that even if Li Li was defeated by the Wuhuan and the Xianbei coalition forces, he could still defeat the barbarian army and suffered heavy energy, and he was unable to go south to rob within several years.

This is exactly the situation that Cao Cao is most willing to see. Even if Li Li still occupied Youzhou after his defeat, he could not make up for the losses after his defeat. If his troops were defeated, his strength would inevitably be greatly damaged. This left Cao Cao with the opportunity to catch up, allowing him to seize the greatest profit on the battlefield in Hebei, and then develop and grow rapidly, and then compete with Li Li to determine the final ownership of the Central Plains.

This perfect blueprint and the long-term strategy to establish the Central Plains are the result of the joint planning of Cao Cao, Xun Yu and many advisers. The biggest obstacle to the entire plan is Li Li of Xiliang.

Perhaps the princes in various towns had not yet noticed how powerful Li Li in Xiliang was, because no matter how powerful Li Li was, he always lived in a corner of Xiliang, like a billionaire hidden in the mountains. At best, he was a nouveau riche and a wealthy slave, not afraid. However, after the Sili War, Li Li's tentacles began to extend into the Central Plains. When the princes were fighting for Emperor Liu Xie of Han, Li Li took the opportunity to send troops to collect the entire territory of Sili and gathered heavy troops in Sili. This move was a sudden emergence, which made the princes in various towns very afraid.

However, the opportunity for Li Li to truly show his strength was after the establishment of the Alliance Against Yuan. In the early days of the alliance, Li Li remained calm and slowed to hold on. When the troops of various princes were successively put on the battlefield, Li Li showed unparalleled powerful strength.

Last September, Li Li mobilized 100,000 troops to attack Youzhou in the east. After learning the news, the princes of all the people couldn't help but feel relieved. They mistakenly thought that Li Li was looking far away and sent all the main troops to the battlefield of Youzhou. However, after several months, when Liu Biao of Jingzhou suddenly led his troops to evacuate the battlefield of Huainan, Li Li mobilized 50,000 troops to capture Nanyang in one fell swoop. Xu Rong, who was stationed in Wuguan, led another 50,000 infantry to the battlefield of Yuzhou, and joined forces with the occupied Bocai army of Nanyang, and a total of 100,000 troops to attack Yuzhou.

After dispatching 200,000 troops, Zhou Yu's army, who was stationed in the army, attacked again and led 70,000 cavalry north to Jizhou. In just over a month, the Xiliang army actually started fighting at the same time on three battlefields, dispatching a total of 270,000 troops, with unprecedented formations and huge momentum. What is even more surprising is that the Xiliang army, which fought at the same time on three battlefields, was extremely steady, neither anxious nor impatient, and had a steady record. After several months of fierce battle, it had no defeat and achieved great success. Such powerful troops and outstanding achievements really made the princes of the towns frightened and mixed emotions.

If this were the case, although the princes in each town were quite frightened, they would not be surprised. After all, they had known that Li Li had hundreds of thousands of troops, strong troops and strong strength. However, after mobilizing nearly 300,000 troops, everything was as usual in the prefectures and counties of Xiliang, without any sign of turmoil. This was the thing that shocked the princes the most.

With the dispatch of 300,000 troops, the four states under Li Li's rule remained calm as usual. What does this mean? As long as you are not a fool, you can think of the answer. This means that Li Li's army is far more than 300,000. It is rumored that the number of Xiliang troops with as many as 500,000 is not rumored, but it is true!

Since Li Li has such strong strength, he can destroy Yuan Shao and the Yuan Shu brothers alone, why do they still have to contact the princes of the town to form the alliance against Yuan? Is the alliance itself a huge conspiracy?

This is the thought that came to his mind when Cao Cao learned that the war in Youzhou had already ended. An unprecedented sense of crisis filled his heart, which made him breathless, and then vented his anger and sorrow on Cao Ren. Who made Cao Ren the most trusted direct general?
