Not long after Liu Lan gave an order to Guan Yu, someone from Pei County came.

It was Guan Yu's personal soldier, Liu Lan summoned him for the first time, in fact, after this time, I could think that it must be because of the matter in Fengxian, although it can't be a matter of food, after all, the order has just been passed over, and it is impossible to reply so quickly, but it may be some different opinions from Guan Yu, this is the result he wants to see the most, just like the battle of Langya, if it is according to his and Xu Shu's ideas, it is impossible to achieve such a brilliant victory, it is precisely because Guan Yu put forward his own proposal, Only then did the battle of Langya finally win a big victory.

First of all, Guan Yu rarely goes to the battlefield now, although he and Xu Shu are no strangers to the battlefield, but in the end, the person who commanded the battle is Guan Yu, he must listen to the opinions of the generals in front, and secondly, Guan Yu is now in Pei County, and he knows the situation in Feng County better than him, there are some insiders, maybe he knows, but the news is still on the way, and this time difference will make the rapidly changing situation more complicated.

Therefore, when formulating operational arrangements, it is necessary to give full consideration to the opinions of front-line generals, and we must not pat our heads and think that one is the other, because this is the way to perdition.

Liu Lan had some expectations on the way to the chamber, full of expectations, hoping that Guan Yu could have some constructive suggestions to make the battle in Fengxian relatively easy.

When Liu Lan came to the conference hall, he saw a soldier sitting on the side under Xu Shu's escort, seeing Liu Lan coming, he hurriedly got up and saluted, Liu Lan waved his hand and signaled that the two of them should sit down, and he came to the main seat under Xu Chu's escort, and after he sat down, the pawn got up and came to the front of the steps, knelt on one knee, took out a letter, and arched his hand: "This is General Guan's own letter." ”

Liu Lan glanced at Xu Chu, Xu Chu quickly stepped forward to take the letter and handed it to Liu Lan, Liu Lan didn't open the seal and asked, "Does he have any other messages?" ”

"Nope."

"Okay, you go to the wing room to rest first, and I will send someone to pass you on when the time comes."

"No!"

"By the way, Zhongkang, let him prepare some hot water and a change of clothes, it's the road, let him rest first." The person who came wore a suit of armor, although the armor in Xuzhou is not very heavy now, but after all, he rested in the wing room, and he couldn't wear armor all the time, not only was it inconvenient, but it was also not good to rest, and it was much more convenient to prepare a set of clothes.

"No."

Xu Chu and the pawn left together, Liu Lan unfolded the letter, glanced at it, and handed it to Xu Shu, who also read it quickly, and then glanced at Liu Lan, obviously the content of the letter made the two a little confused, I don't understand what Guan Yu is selling, or the letter can't be said clearly, looking at Liu Lan who is in a hurry, Xu Shu said: "Why don't you go to Pei County in person and listen to Yun Chang's thoughts?" ”

"You can't go, there are too many things up and down, especially if you are still temporarily leading the internal guard, and the daily information is inseparable from you, so let's just ask Yun Chang to come back, anyway, it's not far away, come back and explain his thoughts clearly."

"Is that someone else, or is it just a matter of sending the soldier back?"

"Let the soldier pass the word, let him rest for the night, and tell him early to-morrow morning.

"No."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

In the Fengxian camp, Cao Cao sat in the inner tent with a pale face, and on the ground was Yuan Shao's latest reply: "It's completely a pretext, an excuse!" Angry that he scolded Yuan Shao for being stupid, Guo Jia smiled and picked up the documents from Jizhou, packed them up and put them back in front of Cao Cao: "Is Yuan Shao such a character, as long as we don't fight with Liu Lan on our side, he will never dare to send troops hastily, although there are many rumors that he has been frightened by Liu Lan, although it is just a rumor, but it will never be groundless, there must be a similar situation, at least Yuan Shao has no certainty of Liu Lan's battle, he does not dare to attack rashly, and he will experience another defeat, So if you want him to send troops, you must first make him think that the opportunity has come and have full certainty, but this full certainty, which is so easy to appear. ”

"I appeared, but unfortunately Yuan Shao hesitated and finally missed the opportunity!" Cao Cao was speechless and helpless, he had no soldiers and no food, even if the opportunity appeared, if he wanted to send troops, he had to look at the eyes of others. Otherwise, now Xuzhou would have been at least his, and he was still worried about Liu Lan's scourge?

It is a pity that he missed such a great opportunity because of Yuan Shao, and it is a pity that he still has a good opportunity, but because Yuan Shu's grain and grass have not been delivered for a long time, he has to postpone the plan to send troops, and when everything is ready, Liu Lan has already set up a strong fortress in Xuzhou, at this time, he will send troops again, where is there any chance, it is not surprising, and it is not even strange at all.

Of course, it's not that there is no chance now, it's a pity that everyone is calculating each other, and they don't want to contribute more, although Cao Cao can give up most of his interests in the matter of attacking Liu Lan, but for Yuan Shao, he has no way, and now Yuan Shao is no longer his friend back then, as long as he speaks, whether it is successful or not, it must be unconditional support, and now as long as he speaks, even if it is successful, it must be delayed.

There is no chance to count on Yuan Shao, but who else can you count on besides Yuan Shao?

This kind of life of expecting people to live is not good, who doesn't want to control their own destiny, but they can't help themselves, many things are not directly solved by himself, just like now, the opposite side is the powerful Xuzhou army, he himself is simply unable to resist, at this time obviously can only unite all the forces that can be united.

In fact, Cao Cao contributed the most behind this, and if there was no Cao Cao, Liu Lan would not be in such a situation as he is now.

"What now?" Cao Cao sighed.

Guo Jia, who was standing next to him, smiled bitterly, let Yuan Shao send troops, he must have a head-on duel with Xuzhou, when Yuan Shao sends troops, if they can defeat Liu Lan and seize Xuzhou, it will obviously be the best result, but what if Yuan Shao takes the opportunity to end it in a pot? This scenario is not out of the question.

Cao Cao glanced at him coldly, it can be said that this is the most likely but the situation that Cao Cao least wants, what he has always thought about is that Yuan Shao has Qingzhou and he has Xuzhou, so that even if Yuan Shao goes south, he has the strength to compete with it, but if Yuan Shao directly seizes Xuzhou and Yanzhou, then everything is over, he is puzzled to make a wedding dress for Yuan Shao, and he also sent himself to the edge of the cliff, asking for his own hardship.

"This should be the worst-case scenario, but often the worst-case scenario is the most likely scenario, your worries must be guarded against, be wary of the possibility that Yuan Shao will suddenly turn to deal with us after defeating Liu Lan, once it happens, how can we counter him!"

Guo Jia hesitated and said, "No way, there will really be no one to stop Yuan Shao at that time." ”

Not long after Liu Lan gave an order to Guan Yu, someone from Pei County came.
