Gongsun Zan and Yuan Shu are neither Cao Cao's opponents. It depends on when Cao Cao will attack them.

"That may not be."

Guo Jia shook his head and said, "I have another information here. The spy ambushed near General Zhengnan sent back the news. Cao Cao visited General Zhengnan."

Since guessing that Cao Cao might be making a fuss about Ma Teng, Liu Zhe's spy was ambushed near Ma Teng's mansion and closely followed Ma Teng.

"Visit Ma Teng?" Liu Zhe was surprised at first, then he looked serious: "It seems that Cao Cao wants to attack Liangzhou?"

Liu Zhe had already analyzed with his subordinates before that Ma Teng's existence was to allow Cao Cao to attack Liangzhou, provoke discord or attack directly.

Guo Jia also nodded and said, "It seems very likely."

Liu Zhe thought about it and said in surprise: "But it seems a bit strange. Before he could calm down Xuzhou and Shouchun, he dared to reach out to Liangzhou?"

Liu Zhe couldn't understand what Cao Cao was trying to do. Yuan Shu could put it aside and let him play with it first. However, although Gongsun Zan's words were not very powerful, they would not be ignored by Cao Cao. Gongsun Zan and Yuan Shu were not people of the same level, at least they were a little more powerful than Yuan Shu.

If Cao Cao had not calmed down, he would want to get involved in Liangzhou. Gongsun Zan and even Yuan Shu would stab him in the back without hesitation.

Even if Liu Zhe himself was like this, he would not stretch his hands too far, so as not to cause emptiness in his home and be attacked by someone.

So Liu Zhe was very strange. Logically speaking, Cao Cao shouldn't be such a person.

Guo Jia guessed: "Is it because Gongsun Zan gathered heavy troops in the Pengcheng area of ​​Xiaopei that Cao Cao felt that the war would cause great losses, so he might as well seize Liangzhou first?"

"No." Liu Zhe shook his head. Cao Cao would not reveal such a big flaw. However, Guo Jia's words made Liu Zhe's head look bright and he asked, "Do you think Cao Cao is acting?"

"acting?"

Guo Jia was stunned at first, then suddenly realized, and he said happily: "Lord is wise."

After pondering for a while, Liu Zhe said, "I guess Cao Cao wanted to make Gongsun Zan think that he would attack Liangzhou, so he relaxed his vigilance."

"Is this just possible?" Guo Jia thought for a while and said, "Gongsun Zan would not be so stupid. Unless Cao Cao launches a large number of troops and draws the troops from Yanzhou, Gongsun Zan will definitely not relax his vigilance."

Guo Jia's words reminded Liu Zhe again, but Liu Zhe smiled slightly and said, "What if Cao Cao's opponent is me?"

Cao Cao attacked the Northwest, and unless there was such a huge opponent, Gongsun Zan would relax his vigilance, and this opponent was Liu Zhe.

"Cao Cao wants to attack us?"

Guo Jia looked surprised. Because Cao Cao's previous actions had never dared to provoke Liu Zhe, so Guo Jia subconsciously did not expect Cao Cao to provoke Liu Zhe.

Liu Zhe touched his chin, picked up the tea and took a sip, and then continued: "Even if you attack us, it must have been done secretly. Don't forget that Ma Chao's father is still in Xudu."

Liu Zhe is now increasingly convinced that Cao Cao is preparing to test him with Ma Chao's hand.

Liu Zhe snorted coldly and said, "Cao Cao, a treacherous hero, dare not come openly, but instead sneaks in. It seems that I want to teach Cao Cao a deep lesson."

Liu Zhe looked at Guo Jia with murderous aura on his face and asked, "Fengxiao, how about we conquer Yongzhou now?"

When Guo Jia heard this, he said with a slight surprise: "Capture Yongzhou?"

"That's right, not only Yongzhou, but also Liangzhou were also defeated."

Liu Zhe looked cold and said, "With Yongzhou, or even Liangzhou, I believe Cao Cao's attention cannot be focused on the Central Plains, so I will just help him this time."

Guo Jia asked with some concern: "Will this make Cao Cao fight to the death with us?"

Once Liu Zhe sends troops to capture Yongzhou, Cao Cao may have all his troops to fight against Liu Zhe. At that time, Liu Zhe has to fight against Cao Cao.

Guo Jia was not afraid of Cao Cao, but it was not in Liu Zhe's interest to fight with Cao Cao now, because the court is still in control by Cao Cao. Once Liu Zhe defeated Cao Cao, he had to take over the court.

The emperor is a hot commodity for everyone, but for Liu Zhe, it is a trouble and a big trouble.

Especially Liu Zhe and his men, they had already thought about it and hoped that Liu Zhe would be able to take that position in the future. If the emperor was controlled in his hands, it would not only be troublesome now, but also arriving in the future.

Liu Zhe said coldly: "Hmph, as long as we take it down, we will stop invading the Central Plains. I don't believe that Cao Cao will dare to take action."

Liu Zhe wanted to conquer Yongzhou and Liangzhou, and occupied Cao Cao's place in the west, cut off Cao Cao's tentacles, and broke his heart that was contaminated by Yongzhou and Liangzhou, so that he could honestly focus on the Central Plains and fight with others.
