Since the plan has been decided, the next thing is how to allocate and make Cao Sun believe that Ye Zhao sent troops to Jingxiang. These two people are not easy to fool, especially Cao Cao, who is an old opponent and has suffered losses at Ye Zhao's hands. He also knows that Ye Zhao's army is powerful, and it is not easy to trick Cao Cao into taking action.

"I think that although I cannot deceive Cao Cao to send troops, although Sun Ce knows that our army is strong, he does not know that our army is powerful. You can start from here." Guo Jia stood up and smiled at Ye Zhao.

It is not easy to deceive Cao Cao, but it is still possible to deceive Sun Ce. This is not that Sun Ce is easy to deceive, but that the intelligence acquisition of both sides is not equal. Ye Zhao had already started to establish a professional intelligence spy agency before his territory. He has never fallen behind in recent years. Ye Zhao is in war and has a strong focus on intelligence. Others take the lead before the troops move, while Ye Zhao takes the lead before the troops move, intelligence first. Regarding the people under Sun Ce, the strategies for governing the local government, the strength and weakness of the army, and even the achievements of the military, the intelligence agencies under Ye Zhao have detailed data for reference.

Of course, as the second only to Ye Zhao today, Sun Ce must have similar institutions under his command, but one thing is certain that Sun Ce's foundation is actually weaker than Ye Zhao and Cao Cao. He has not risen for a long time. In recent years, most of the time has been in the battles and territories. It is not much time to stay like Ye Zhao and Cao Cao to systematically plan and refine the functions of various departments, so it is obviously a disadvantage in intelligence collection.

Moreover, the two sides have not fought so far, so Sun Ce's strength towards Ye Zhao's army is probably just superficial, and he doesn't know how powerful Ye Zhao's army is.

"And Sun Ce's command was originally a navy army, and he was not familiar with the Central Plains war. If he could not drive him back as soon as possible, after Sun Ce lived in the Central Plains for a few years and recruited Qing Xu Zhuangyong, he would probably lose even greater losses if he wanted to defeat him." Guo Jia smiled.

"Sir." Hua Xiong clasped his fists at Guo Jia and frowned and said, "There are all along the rivers where our army borders Sun Ce. The soldiers and horses in Jiangdong are the best water fights. It may not be easy for us to cross the river!"

The border with Sun Ce is the section of Qingzhou that is adjacent to the Yellow River, which is the estuary of the sea. Although it is not as wide as the Yangtze River, even the narrowest place is more than 200 steps. If this distance is usually nothing, it is naturally nothing. The princes in the north are not good at water battles, so it is not difficult to cross it. However, facing a unit like the Jiangdong Army, which is good at water battles, it will not be effective.

"Wen Zheng forgot how Xiahou Yuan attacked Luoyang?" Guo Jia looked at Hua Xiong and smiled.

Hua Xiong was stunned. What happened to Xiahou Yuan in this pass? However, others reacted when they heard this. The Yellow River was frozen for a period of time every winter. Xiahou Yuan attacked Mengjin and then directly attacked Luoyang by taking advantage of that opportunity. If Ye Zhao had not stationed food and grass in Luoyang for safety reasons, then, let alone conquering Jizhou and Youzhou later, it would be great to be able to defend Hulao Pass.

This is also the biggest difference between the Yellow River and the Yangtze River. The Yellow River is frozen every winter, but this is not the case in the Yangtze River.

"Before this, we can make the two generals Fang Yue and Ding Li strengthen the ferry and make a strict defense, so that Sun Ce thinks our army has no intention of attacking." Guo Jia smiled and said, "If we can obtain Qingzhou in this battle, we can drive Sun Ce to Xuzhou. If there is no advantage of the navy, Sun Ce will not be a problem. Our army can concentrate its forces to encircle Cao Cao on three sides and annihilate it. As long as Cao Cao is destroyed, there will be no enemy of the lord in the Central Plains."

"I suggest that the lord can plan something in Jingzhou." Li Ru smiled at Ye Zhao and said, "At least before the lord annihilates Cao Cao, Jingzhou will maintain a battle between his two sons. When the lord is fair and settles the Central Plains, he will go to Jingxiang. General Ganning will go downstream from Yiling and raid the Jingzhou naval army. The main force of our army will try to force the Han River. At that time, Jingzhou will probably surrender without fighting!"

"What about Xuzhou?" Guan Hai scratched his head and said.

"Xuzhou is temporarily left to Sun Ce. If Sun Ce completely retreats to Jiangdong, our navy will be weak. If Sun Ce retreats to Jiangdong, it will be difficult for him to cross the river. But if Xuzhou flows out, it will be endless to consume Jiangdong's troops. When Sun Ce exhausts Jiangdong's troops, it will not be difficult for our army to cross the river again!" Guo Jia said with a smile.

To this day, basically Ye Zhao's next strategy for sending troops to the whole world has been decided in the general direction so far. The next thing is how to implement it. It is not easy to deceive Sun Ce, a figure who is both civil and military. For this reason, Guo Jia personally asked Ye Zhao to go to Gaotang to join Ding Li, asked Ye Zhao for the right to command Fang Yue and Ding Li's troops, and asked a group of craftsmen to accompany him. The others also followed the steps. Xu Rong secretly assembled troops in the Bohai Sea to prepare for the southward crossing of the river. At the same time, checkpoints were set up in various important roads in Jizhou, especially in the situation, and they had to strictly investigate. Without official approval, they would not be allowed to pass.

After deciding on the strategy, Ye Zhao sent everyone away to prepare. There is still some time before winter begins, so it is time to prepare.

The civil and military officials dispersed, but Guan Yu stayed, looked at Ye Zhao with some complex eyes, bowed and said, "Lord, there is something to ask for, please let me agree."

"But what Liu Bei's wife is doing?" Ye Zhao looked at Guan Yu and said with a smile.

Guan Yu nodded silently: "Brother wandered for half his life, but it is not easy to get a son in middle age. Although each of them is his master now, after all, brothers are in the end, the last one..."

"It's normal for Yun Chang to do something by himself, but since Yun Chang has spoken, he will escort Liu Bei's family to Jingzhou tomorrow, which can be considered as giving Yun Changzhuang a strong momentum." Ye Zhao said with a smile.

Without Guan Yu mentioning it, Ye Zhao almost forgot about this matter. After all, Liu Bei was not anxious. Mrs. Gan was taken away by Cao Cao, and Liu Bei didn't say anything. As for the remaining family, Ye Zhao remembered an old lady and a son named Liu Feng by Liu Bei. This was not the godson taken by Liu Bei in history, but the real parent-child. It seems that the names of Guan Yu's first two sons, Liu Bei, were probably planning to do so.

However, Ye Zhao couldn't care what name he wanted to give his son. Guan Yu wanted to send Liu Bei's family back now, and Ye Zhao also wanted to put a few nails in Jingzhou. As for Liu Bei's family... Although Liu Bei's official position is now large, he actually has only the power of a county. And with the current situation, even if Liu Bei really has the opportunity to make a fortune in the future, he can only plan for Jingxiang. As for other places, there is no place for Liu Bei to live in, so now, no matter Ye Zhao, Cao Cao, and Sun Ce, he has not put Liu Bei in the position of the enemy. Simply put, it is not worthy.

"Since the last general is loyal to his lord, how dare he be good at it?" Guan Yu looked solemnly. Although he had brotherly friendship with Liu Bei, Ye Zhao's kindness to Guan Yu was no less than Liu Bei, and even said that he was far superior to Liu Bei. Not only did he give Guan Yu a stage to show his personal strengths, but he also gave Guan Yu the opportunity to revenge in his heart. From Shuzhong to now, it has been more than ten years. Not to mention Guan Yu, the entire Guan family has taken root under Ye Zhao's command. At this time, even if Guan Yu was asked to meet Liu Bei in person, Guan Yu would not be able to go back.

"Go and bring Liu Bei's family. You will prepare an envoy here. When Liu Bei's family arrives, you can send it to Jingzhou." Ye Zhao nodded with a smile.

"Thank you, lord, I will say goodbye!" Guan Yu said goodbye and said goodbye, turned around and left.
