At The Beginning of The Game, The Five Tiger Generals Were Intercepted

When Cao Cao heard this, he even had a splitting headache.

Obviously occupying an absolute advantage, just because Liu Zhang moved his troops to Xin'an, the entire Central Plains forces were in turmoil!

Since Cao Cao became prime minister, the four big families in Yingchuan headed by Xun Yu, Xun, Zhong, Chen, and Han, have all had rifts with Cao Cao.

In particular, when Liu Zhang proclaimed himself the Duke, and took Xun You as his minister and servant, after being a former military adviser, it seemed that the mentality of the Yingchuan family had changed slightly.

During the Battle of Guandu and the Battle of Cangting, the Yingchuan family wanted soldiers for soldiers and food for food, and they did their best to help Cao Cao.

But since Liu Zhang became public and Cao Cao became prime minister, everything changed!

Even Zhong Yao and Chen Qun, who have always been close to Cao Cao, were doing routine business, and did not give any opinions or suggestions for this battle in Hebei.

As for Xun Yu, needless to say, his attitude has been turned upside down.

Cao Cao needed food and grass for the Northern Expedition, but Xun Yu only had two words, no!

No money, no food, no soldiers!

Therefore, Cao's troops currently stationed in Hebei are all Qingzhou soldiers recruited by Cao Cao.

The supply of grain and grass in the whole of Hebei was also changed from the supply of Yingchuan Shizu in Henan to that of Yanzhou and Xuzhou.

Cao Cao still remembered how he and Xun Yu broke up before the expedition.

"Feng Xiao, is there any news from within the Guo family?"

The Guo family that Guo Jia belongs to is also the Yingchuan family, and has a very close relationship with the four major families.

"Prime Minister, I'm just the last branch of the sect. They won't discuss with me about things that are too secret in the family..."

"However, there is indeed a rumor circulating within the Guo family. It seems that Guo Tu and Liu Zhang are very close."

Cao Cao couldn't help but smile contemptuously upon hearing this.

"Guo Tu? Such a flattering and flattering villain, can Liu Zhang like him?"

Although Cao Cao looked down on Guo Tu, he was still very grateful to him.

Without Guo Tu, how to win the battle of Guandu?

"Prime Minister, this matter must not be underestimated! And the disaster is not only that, but more on Xun You."

"Liu Zhang values ​​Xun You too much. He and Jia Xu are the number two figures in Qin State on par."

"For the Yingchuan family, as long as it is the emperor with the surname Liu, anyone can do it!"

"At this sensitive time, it is inevitable that the Yingchuan family will secretly contact Xun You..."

Guo Jia is the undisputed junior in the Guo family, and Xun You is also a well-deserved side branch in the Xun family.

Xun You's father died early, so Xun You's family did not contribute much to the entire Xun Family.

Xun You's father is even more incomparable with Xun's Eight Dragons.

This also led to the early death of Xun You's father, and the mother and son were quite depressed.

Therefore, even though Xun Yu's grandfather and Xun You's great-grandfather were brothers, their status was still very different.

But for offshoots, blood is not the only factor in the judgment.

As long as the surnames are the same, they are naturally a family under certain circumstances.

The decisive factor in determining the close relationship between offshoots and families within the clan is entirely in ability.

As long as the ability is good enough, he can get the family's investment in him in the sidelines.

A very simple example is Xun You and Guo Jia.

They are also members of the family, if they are not capable, no one will take a second look at them.

If there were no Guo family to operate behind the scenes, there would be plenty of talented people, so why would Xun Yu recommend Guo Jia to Cao Cao?

It's just that Guo Jia's character is relatively rebellious. Unlike other Yingchuan clans headed by Xun Yu, his focus is more on Cao Cao.

Guo Jia rebelled, but Xun You did not.

It is very common for aristocratic families to invest in other forces.

The Yingchuan family not only invested in Cao Cao, but also invested in Yuan Shao in Hebei.

The typical ones are Xun Chen and Guo Tu.

Xun Chen, Guo Tu's status in their respective clans is very high, far beyond what Xun You and Guo Jia can compare!

Guo Jia and Guo Tu invested in Yuan Shao with a plan and purpose.

However, the Xun family's investment in Liu Zhang was completely accidental, or it was not voluntary at all.

Xun You didn't report or discuss with the clan at all, and ran away with his mother!

Maybe the Xun family didn't take Xun You seriously at that time.

It doesn't matter at all, just run away.

Unexpectedly, Liu Zhang became bigger and bigger, and won Yizhou, Liangzhou, and Yongzhou one after another, and even called the country Jianguo!

Xun You is not easy, he has become Liu Zhang's most trusted and most relied on schemer, in the state of Qin, one person is under one person and above ten thousand people!

For this situation, can the Yingchuan family not be tempted?

And the current Xun Yu is only used as a link between the Yingchuan family and Cao Cao.

He cannot represent the Yingchuan family, and cannot even decide the final decision of the Xun family.

If the Yingchuan family wanted to join Liu Zhang, Xun Yu would not be able to stop it.

Guo Tu contacted Liu Zhang, Chen Qun, and Zhong Yao without any warning, and gradually alienated Cao Cao. Xun Yu refused to provide military rations, and even had open conflicts with Cao Cao.

There are traces and traceable sources behind all these things.

Guo Jia has to be vigilant, all these are inextricably linked!

Guo Tu went to Guanzhong. Was it the Guo family's intention, or did the entire Yingchuan faction have this intention?

Or the Yingchuan faction felt that Cao Cao was too ambitious and wanted to change the partner of cooperation?

There is a lot of fog in front of him, and the situation in Hebei is complicated, which makes Guo Jia feel physically and mentally exhausted.

"Feng Xiao, it's good to have you..."

The only thing Cao Cao was lucky about was that such a brilliant talent as Guo Jia helped him wholeheartedly.

If Guo Jia also puts the interests of the family as the first priority, I am afraid there will be a huge change.

"Prime Minister, this matter is serious, and we must not take it lightly!"

"If the Yingchuan clan turns against them, the Central Plains will be destroyed by Liu Zhang in no time!"

"Don't forget that Wuguan is still in Liu Zhang's hands!"

Cao Cao's heart suddenly turned cold. If Guo Jia hadn't reminded him, he would have forgotten that Liu Zhang still had a way to attack.

If you enter Nanyang from Wuguan, Liu Zhang can go directly to the city of Xuchang!

Once the Yingchuan family rebels, then...

Cao Cao didn't dare to think about it anymore, this was a devastating blow!

"Immediately dispatch a large army to garrison the junction of Henan Yin and Nanyang!"

"In addition, we need to send more people to monitor the Yingchuan family. They must not be allowed to riot!"

The rebellion of the Yanzhou family in the past, Cao Cao still feels vividly in his memory, and he will never allow this kind of thing to happen again!

"Prime Minister, you can dispatch Cao Ren and Cao Hong to lead the elite troops to garrison and let Xiahou Dun return to Xuchang."

"Okay, just follow Fengxiao!"

Cao Cao nodded and immediately agreed to Guo Jia's suggestion.

The Cao family has always controlled military power with the clan, and it is these clans that can make Cao Cao not worry about rebellion.

Guo Jia turned his head to look at the sky outside, which was in the direction of the west, and at the same time, there was a burst of fighting intent in his eyes.

Liu Zhang, come on!

Let's see if you can unite with the Yingchuan family to defeat me, or let me wipe out all your schemes!

If Liu Zhang and the Yingchuan family knew about this matter, they would definitely cry for injustice.

Cao Cao and Guo Jia are all imaginary, he has neither contacted the Yingchuan family, nor has the Yingchuan family contacted him!

Guo Tu's actions were completely spontaneous.

Xun Yu, Zhong Yao, and Chen Qun's changes were entirely due to dissatisfaction with Cao Cao before!

All the scapegoats can only be let Liu Zhang bear the burden silently...
