"It's absolutely unacceptable."

Although Wen Chou's idea is good, whether it is a detour to Xiapi or Xia Xiang County, the risk is too great, Xun You took the lead in opposition, and several other strategists also supported it, strongly opposed, and said: "Sikong, the possibility of Liu Lan withdrawing troops is very high, if we intercept his back road at this time, we will definitely have a vicious battle with it, with the combat effectiveness of the Xuzhou army, our army may not be able to stop them, and even if it can be stopped, it will pay a heavy price, Sikong must not agree to Wen Chou." ”

"So what do you say? Just look at Liu Lan and can't escape Guangling, and we don't do anything? Give up like this and let Liu Lan run to Guangling with the main force? Then you say that even if we occupy Xiapi, what can we do, we are still under the threat of Liu Lan. Cao Cao questioned a few people, or he hoped that a few of them could give themselves a reason to reject Wen Chou, if it was only because they would face Liu Lan's main force alone, it would be difficult to convince him.

The masterminds under Cao Cao's account all know that Sikong is an important reason for the dispatch of troops to Xuzhou, so they must feel that they are also the one with the greatest determination to eliminate Liu Lan, but Yuan Shao will not have much interest in Liu Lan, but on the contrary, Yuan Shao's determination to eliminate Liu Lan is even more than Cao Cao, but Cao Cao's attitude is actually very vague, and it is not good for him to eliminate it, and it is also unfavorable for him to let the tiger return to the mountain.

Cao Cao's contradictions are mainly focused on the elimination of Liu Lan, Yuan Shao will inevitably turn his energy to him, if he does not eliminate Liu Lan, it is tantamount to letting the tiger return to the mountain, Liu Lan will come sooner or later to avenge today's arrow, so the current situation is very obvious, either to eliminate Liu Lan or to let Liu Lan go, there is no third option.

Cao Cao almost hit the nail on the head to point out their current embarrassing situation, and his sense of powerlessness is the most profound, after everyone heard Cao Cao's words, they all realized that they had made a fatal mistake, that is, from the beginning they failed to pay attention to Sikong's true attitude towards the battle of Xuzhou, which made the strategy enter a dead end, and it was always recommended to take high pressure on Liu Lan, but now that they understand Cao Cao's true thoughts, they must make a choice, the so-called two powers harm each other, it is not difficult to make a choice, not to mention Li Dian and Xiahou Yuan, sending troops is obviously more in line with the interests and demands of the majority.

Cao Cao's current situation is very embarrassing, internal and external difficulties, first of all, in the army, although most of them are family forces, but foreign surnames military generals must be maintained. And with his eloquence, he naturally understands that sending troops is more in the interests of the majority of the people, and can also unite the majority of people.

"Send troops to Pi." Cao Cao made a final decision and said: "Reply to Wen Chou, I will personally lead the troops to make a detour to Xiapi to intercept Liu Lan!" ”

"It's unlikely." Guo Jing, who had never spoken, immediately objected when he heard Cao Cao's words: "Even if you want to intercept Liu Lan, Sikong doesn't have to lead troops in person." ”

"Oh?" Cao Cao sighed lightly, and looked at Guo Jia with a curious expression: "Is there any better plan for Fengxiao?" ”

~~~~~~~~~

Liu Lan in Lu County made the decision to retreat to Guangling, although the news has not yet been issued, but for some of them, they must carefully consider the future. This is by no means a fall, but what most people in Xuzhou are doing at the moment, especially Taishan Sikou, they did not really serve Liu Lan from the beginning, but they were forced to choose in desperation, even if they arrived in Qingzhou, the major forces were pulling them together.

And now when they have vested interests, they have to follow Liu Lan all the way, they have some ideas in their hearts, and at this time, the relationship that has not been interrupted before has played a role again, but the previous investment effect and the current investment effect can be very different, before there was Qingzhou Weiwei, this piece of fat will naturally bring them greater benefits, and now even if they change the court, they have to look at the face of others.

But at this time, who still thinks about these things is better than accompanying Liu Lan to the funeral, but their brothers clashed again.

has been in contact with Yuan Shao before, so he naturally supports turning Jizhou, and contacting Cao Cao wants to turn Cao Cao, although the other people are not supporting Liu Lan, but it is not good for the two to quarrel. But it can be said that both can be effective, but one thing is to listen to the price they offer first.

Yuan Shao's attitude has changed one hundred and eighty degrees, and he no longer attaches importance to them, but Cao Cao is still the same as before, very welcoming their arrival, and also made promises in their official positions, and even respects Xu to allow them to bring their own private soldiers, so it is obvious that Cao Cao's side is more tempting, and it instantly becomes two to one, but when he asked the last person Sun Guan, he thought that three to one was going to lay the result and switched to Cao Cao, but Sun Guan put forward some of his own opinions and ideas, because now if you want to change the court, Yuan Shao must be one of the first choices, and abandon Liu Lan to Cao Cao, abandon the strong and vote for the weak, he can't understand, even if they are promised the third duke, what can they do, in the end it is not a waste?

On the other hand, Yuan Shao, although his attitude towards them has changed drastically, his strength is the strongest, if he wants to switch to others, then Yuan Shao is obviously the best choice. Therefore, instead of voting for Cao Cao now, and waiting for Yuan Shao to send troops to Cao Cao after a year and a half, it is wiser to directly join Yuan Shao now.

Four people are two to two, no one can convince each other, so they have to go to Zang Ba together, let him make a choice, in the end, the current Zang Ba can no longer be looked at with the old eyes of many years ago, more and more mature He After a few years of tempering in the history of Qingzhou Thorn, his attainments are not the reckless wild man of the year, his mind is more meticulous, and the angle of looking at some things is more unique, especially at the moment when the four of them obviously disagreed, he did not express his position directly, but pushed back, this matter is too important, one wrong step, may not be recovered, So he can't make a statement, unless the four can agree, at least three people must agree, then he will support unconditionally, but now until a consensus is reached, he will not make any statement.

The trouble was pushed back to the four of them, and the four of them fought against each other, but they couldn't make the other two turn to support them, and this matter has been consumed like this, for the four of them, Zang Ba was helpless, although he easily resolved the trouble, but he was still very anxious in his heart.

Although it seems that the situation is very obvious now, Zang Ba understands in his heart that the current situation is not as clear as it seems, at least Liu Lan has not yet reached the level of defeat, and it may not be impossible to turn defeat into victory, he does not dare to make a rash choice, because even he himself can't see who can win the battle of Xuzhou, and even who will have the last laugh in the end of Cao Yuanliu, he doesn't dare to make a judgment.

In his camp, he was analyzing the direction of frustration every day, worrying and anxious, what would Liu Lan do next, and how should he choose?

Turning his back on Liu Lan seems to be the best choice now, but turning his head to Cao Yuan, is it also a good choice for him? Not necessarily, at least it may not be better than staying by Liu Lan's side, who can predict what will happen in the future, so it is better to follow Liu Lan to the dark along the way, this person, he has been defeated, and it is time for him to transfer, isn't this Liu Lan like this now?

Of course, if Liu Lan's main force was eliminated, he would not hesitate to change the court, but no, so he preferred to stay, which was worth the risk.

"Knock knock."

"Going up?" Hearing the sound of the drum, Zang Ba subconsciously looked at Xuzhou City, Liu Lan and the tent promotion for a long time, the sudden sound of the tent drum today made him feel that something important might happen, stood up, walked out of the tent, turned over the horse, rushed out of the gate with his own soldiers, and went straight to the city of Lu County.

Until sunset, under the cover of night, Zang Ba, who entered the city before noon, finally returned to the big tent, the camp was quiet, and the soldiers fell asleep one after another after eating the night food, except for a few patrols in the camp, no one walked around, and Zang Ba dismounted in front of the gate and led the horse into the city.

The subtle movement alarmed Sun Guan and the four of them, and they went out of the tent in turn, they had been waiting for Zang Ba to come back, although they already had the idea of turning their heads elsewhere, but as long as they didn't make the trip for a day, they were more concerned about how Liu Lan would deploy next, after seeing Zang Ba, they followed him into the big tent, Zang Ba told the four of them the main content of today's deliberations, and instantly the faces of the four people became ugly.

The retreat was not unexpected at all, but the result that they thought about discussing the way back before retreating turned out to be empty, what should they do now, is it possible to really retreat to Guangling with Liu Lan?

Yuan Shao's attitude has changed one hundred and eighty degrees, and he no longer attaches importance to them, but Cao Cao is still the same as before, very welcoming their arrival, and also made promises in their official positions, and even respects Xu to allow them to bring their own private soldiers, so it is obvious that Cao Cao's side is more tempting, and it instantly becomes two to one, but when he asked the last person Sun Guan, he thought that three to one was going to lay the result and switched to Cao Cao, but Sun Guan put forward some of his own opinions and ideas, because now if you want to change the court, Yuan Shao must be one of the first choices, and abandon Liu Lan to Cao Cao, abandon the strong and vote for the weak, he can't understand, even if they are promised the third duke, what can they do, in the end it is not a waste?
