After joining Cao Cao's command, while paying attention to the mafia in Cao's camp, Guo Jia and Xun Yu worked together to help Cao Cao implement the "going to Beijing to serve the king" policy set by Cao Cao to accept Mao Jie's plan. Although he did not give any suggestions very actively, Cao Cao would consult Guo Jia whenever there were major events, and Guo Jia also gave Cao Cao good advice in detail.

Just like when Cao Cao decided to send Cao Hong as the main general, Yu Jin led the army as the deputy general and now headed west to defend Luoyang defense, Guo Jia said to Cao Cao: "Cao Hong is brave and has little strategy. Yu Jin may find it difficult to stop Cao Hong from acting impulsively. I think a person with a steady and calm personality and superhuman thinking can accompany the army."

"Who is suitable for the words of filial piety?" Cao Cao asked again.

Guo Jia smiled and said, "Mr. Cao already has the right candidate in his heart, so why bother asking me if I am a clumsy?"

Cao Cao looked at Guo Jia's palm and sweated coldly. The only people in this world who could see through his thoughts were Xun Yu and Yang Xiu. Unexpectedly, Guo Fengxiao could see his heart so thoroughly. At this point, he relied more on Guo Jia, feeling that he did not believe in the wrong person, so he immediately ordered Mao Jie to go to Luoyang with the army.

The consequences were as Guo Jia said. Cao Hong wanted to act impulsively again and again. Yu Jin, who was also a military general, also echoed and threatened to defeat Bai Bo's army and enter Luoyang City. Fortunately, Mao Jie blocked it in time to avoid the chaos.

Cao's army was left in Yanshi for several days. Although no military conflicts, big or small, did not occur, but this was not a long-term solution. After careful consideration, Cao Cao decided to summon Cheng Yu, Xun Yu and Guo Jia to discuss how to resolve the matter.

During the meal, Xun Yu said: "The real king's troops around Luoyang are relatively small at present, and most of them are mainly Bai Bo's army. Although Dong Cheng and Han Xian's attitudes are not stated at present, it is not difficult to see their intention to be afraid of their lord."

After stroking his beard and pondering for a moment, Cheng Yu raised his head and looked at Cao Cao who was also looking at him and waiting for an answer:

"If there is a head-on conflict with the Baibo army at this moment, it will definitely affect most of the territory of Yuzhou and Sizhou that Yanzhou and the lord have just pacified. Even if we win, we are likely to bear the reputation of the traitors, which will attract the eye of the surrounding princes, so that they can give them a verbal attack and divide our territory. In this way, we will be extremely passive."

Cao Cao nodded, thinking that both of them had analyzed the situation in front of him to the point, and then looked at Guo Jia, who was sitting next to Xun Yu, who had not spoken yet: "You are filial to you..."

Before he finished speaking, he was surprised to find that Guo Jia was sitting there, lowering his head and dozing, which made the situation on the field quite awkward, but Cao Cao was not angry and did not wake him up. Seeing this, Xun Yu quickly shook Guo Jia's arm twice:

"Sacrifice to filial piety..."

Guo Jia, who was awakened, opened his sleepy eyes, and did not hesitate to sit in the seat and look at him. He stretched his waist unrestrainedly. After being reminded by Xun Yu again, he looked at Cao Cao: "What did you say just now?"

"We are discussing the matter of going to Beijing to serve the king. Since Fengxiao has woken up, please give me some advice."

Cao Cao did not take Guo Jia's unrestrained and self-reliant style into his behavior, but instead asked humbly.

After looking at Xun Yu and Cheng Yu, Guo Jia smiled and said, "We don't need to think about this kind of troublesome thing at all. Naturally, someone will come to solve it for you. Soon, someone will ask you to lead your army into Luo."

After hearing Guo Jia's meaningful words, Cheng Yu and Xun Yu, who were quick-minded, immediately understood the implication of his words and felt a sudden realization: "Yes, Han Xian and Dong Cheng are competing for the initiative in Luoyang. It is obvious that Dong Cheng is at a disadvantage now. He is unwilling to let this power be put together to occupy the lords of the three states."

The consequences were as Guo Jia expected. Dong Cheng reported to Liu Xie in private that Han Xian was proud of his merits and would have the intention of rebellion if he continued for a long time. He especially asked Liu Xie to issue an order to secretly kill Han Xian and his Bai Bo army's gangsters. However, Liu Xie took into account that Han Xian had heavy troops and had indeed made contributions, so he did not make this decision.

Seeing this, Dong Cheng then suggested that Cao Cao lead his army to Beijing to fight against the arrogant Bai Bo army, thus playing a role in checks and balances. This strategy was agreed by Liu Xie.

So Dong Cheng immediately contacted Cao Cao secretly and invited him to go to Luoyang in person, and promised to let Cao Hong's army enter Luoyang as soon as possible. Seeing that the time was ripe, Cao Cao immediately replied to the letter to agree to Dong Cheng's request.

After entering Luoyang, Cao Cao quickly joined forces with Dong Cheng to impeach Han Xian and Li Le and other major generals of Bai Bo army. Seeing this, Li Le chose to retreat bravely and gave up all military power to request recovery in Hedong. Liu Xie agreed.

Later, Han Xian intended to help Zhang Yang become his own alliance to replace Li Le, but after being suppressed by Cao Cao, Zhang Yang had no intention of fighting with him and led all his troops to retreat to Hanoi. In this way, Han Xian faced a situation of being alone.

However, he did not completely lose the initiative. After all, the Baibo army still occupies the majority of the military power inside and outside Luoyang. If the two sides suddenly start a war, Cao Cao would not be absolutely sure to win quickly, and instead would be in danger of the emperor being robbed by Han Xian. Therefore, Cao Cao did not take a comprehensive political offensive, but quietly waited for the opportunity.

During the stalemate, Mao Jie proposed to Cao Cao to move the capital to Puyang, which was equivalent to essentially emptying Han Xian. Cao Cao immediately met with Dong Cheng and Sima Fang and other important officials to discuss the matter.

Dong Cheng considered that if the capital was moved to Yanzhou, Cao Cao might become the second Han Xian, and delayed the matter on the grounds that the capital was of great importance and the Bai Bo army led by Han Xian would not agree.

Learning from Cao Cao's reaction, Guo Jia smiled and said to Cao Cao: "Since this is the case, let's move the emperor to Yuzhou, where Cao Gong has weak power. And he can promise that Dong Cheng can command the army of the royal army after he moves the capital. Our army in the Xindu will not exceed one-third of the royal army. Without the emperor's edict, the soldiers of Yanzhou will not enter Yuzhou. I think this should appropriately alleviate Dong Cheng's doubts."

After discussing with Xun and Cheng, Cao Cao decided to set the new capital in Xu County and informed Dong Cheng of the exchange conditions he proposed. After thinking about it over and over again, Dong Cheng considered that this matter could not be delayed for a long time, especially Yang Feng, who originally supported the Han Emperor, was also convinced by Han Xian. If they suddenly made a problem, they would probably reach an uncontrollable level and finally agreed to Cao Cao's plan.

In order not to arouse military obstruction from Han Xian, Cao Cao, Fu Wan, Sima Lang and others went to Xu County to set the capital on the grounds that the emperor was hunting in Xu County. The date was set in August of that year. Cao Cao also persuaded Liu Xie to throw out the empty imperial edict that "when Your Majesty was not in the court, all matters were decided by Han and Yang, the two ministers of Yang," which made Han Xian very happy and did not notice Cao Cao's premeditation at all.
