Guo Jia's analysis is not unreasonable, but in terms of the current situation, no matter how Guo Jia analyzes, no matter how reasonable he is, no matter whether they are bluffing or not, or even the people are disguised, but these 30,000 people are not fake after all, whether they want to defend or not, this is needless to say, even if Liu Lan's main goal is in Langya, it is not a matter for them to think about now, but how to defend these 30,000 people and how to take Peixian.

In fact, he hoped that now that Liu Lan and Yan Liang were fighting, that would be the most beneficial situation for him, as for Guo Jia's suggestion to storm Pei County now, Cao Cao had some concerns and did not make a decision for a long time.

Maybe Cao Cao is suspicious by nature, but in the military, he is still quite resolute, but this time his hesitation disappointed Guo Jia, and even felt that Cao Cao was a little stubborn and had to pay the price for his hesitation.

I have to say that Guo Jia's influence on Cao Cao is very great, in this case, if it is replaced by anyone, it is impossible to influence Cao Cao's decision in the morning, but Guo Jia can, and Cao Cao also trusts him very much, and is even willing to take risks, it can be said that it was Guo Jia's suggestion that made Cao Cao finally make the decision to storm Pei County, but he still had to defend against Huang Zhong, so he handed over this important task to Zhang Xun.

In this regard, Cao Cao is also very helpless, if the Shouchun army is allowed to attack the city, nine times out of ten, if the work is not contributed, it is unknown whether Pei County can be defeated at that time, but if Zhang Xun resists Huang Zhong, even if it is just a confrontation, it is also a great benefit for them, and they can launch a fierce attack on Pei County wholeheartedly.

The geographical location of Pei County, although he belongs to Yanzhou, but because it is located in the gap between Yanzhou and Xuzhou, it is particularly critical, to seize Pei County, then Cao Cao in the east of Yanzhou can be completely connected, correspondingly, it is also regarded as after Fei County, and opened up a channel that can directly enter Xuzhou City, is the geographical location of Pei County is particularly important to Cao Cao.

Correspondingly, Pei County is the frontier gateway of Xuzhou City, when Cao Cao attacked Xuzhou, it was from this road, swept half of Xuzhou, for this barrier, Liu Lan knew the importance of its strategic position, for this reason in Pei County painstakingly operated for many years, and built him into a strong fortress.

To capture such a fortress, it is difficult to succeed without sufficient troops, strength and determination, which is the main reason why Cao Cao did not choose Zhang Xun in the end.

Of course, he didn't know that in fact, since Liu Lan moved to Moling, Pei County has not been as important as before, in terms of economic status, his four cities in the southeast, northwest and northwest are more like a great improvement to the Han Dynasty more than ten years ago, but it only makes the market more standardized, but its role is still that the people used to shop and operate in the market when the market was open and closed.

Such a fang market system, with the construction of Moling New Town, has quietly changed, it can be said that it is a complete change, the fang market has been completely canceled, business can be done casually, and even the curfew has been canceled. It can be said that the prototype of the city in the Song Dynasty has appeared, and even the modern city has come into being.

This is by no means something that Pei County can do, and this is also the key to Pei County being replaced sooner or later, in addition to his geographical location as long as the land route, what is more important is that his scale is not enough to bear the heavy responsibility he bears in the territory under Liu Lan's control at this moment, and Moling New City is different.

First of all, he is brand new, a city that has not appeared in the previous decades, hundreds of years, thousands of years, and his plan is after Zhen Yu, who has built several towns with his own hands, after careful planning, and with previous experience, everyone thought that Moling New Town would be a brand new town, but in the end it was completely overturned by Liu Lan.

Everything is so sudden, all the planning, Liu Lan has to take Zhen Yu's vision to take a more long-term view, and the scale of all the cities has become extraordinarily amazing, not only the old city of Moling and the stone city, but also the inevitable Qinhuai is also included, its scale is twice as large as the Luoyang City that was not burned by the fire, and five times that of the old capital Chang'an.

With such a scale, it is conceivable that almost every area he covers is the size of a middle county, but such an area is different from the past, in the past, residences, government offices, camps, and trade workshops were all carefully divided and clear, but now it is different, business can be opened in any location, and workshops have to be relocated outside the city.

It can be said that in the past, Zhenyu rebuilt the city, as long as the various square city areas were divided, then the prototype of a city would come out, and now, it is necessary to build roads first, and then start to build various houses on both sides of the repaired roads.

Although this involves a lot of uncertain troubles, taxes must be paid, etc., but this is not a big problem for Liu Lan at all, some commercial shops have the attribute of group living, as long as there is one nearby, then soon, there will be commercial blocks, which is like the grass market he saw outside many cities, such a private independent stall, this is the reason.

And these are obviously not what Pei County can afford today, not to mention, the new school that Liu Lan wants to open has sprung up like mushrooms after a rain, and a medical school has already made Pei County bear a heavy burden, if the schools that Liu Lan envisions are all run, Pei County will not have that ability.

Moling, on the other hand, doesn't need to think about such a thing.

Therefore, after the construction of Moling New Town, Pei County gradually changed from a commercial city to a military town, but because the change was too big, his garrison changed from the original 30,000 to 10,000, which Cao Cao could not know, but it is also the most lethal point of Pei County today, such a force, to resist Cao Cao's attack of tens of thousands of horses, it is simply a dream.

It can be said that although Guo Jia's bet seems a bit risky, there is no doubt that his gambling luck is good, although he only analyzed Liu Lan's true intentions, and felt that it was difficult for him to estimate Pei County for the time being, but Pei County's strength undoubtedly gave Cao Cao a great opportunity, as long as Pei County was captured, then the direction of the battle in Xuzhou would become confusing.

But unfortunately, the opponent Zhang Xun encountered was not Huang Zhong, but Zhang Fei, who played cards out of common sense.

If Huang Zhong came over, he would inevitably be like Zhao Yun, at least he would not attack rashly, but Zhang Fei had been aggrieved in Moling for so long, and he had been waiting for this opportunity for a long time, and now that he finally arrived in Pei County, you let him continue to shrink and be indifferent when he saw that the enemy army was in front of him, how could it be?

It can be said that it was Zhang Fei's initiative that made the battle of Peixian changeable.

And at this time, when Cao Cao heard that Yan Liang was attacking Kaiyang, he couldn't scruple anymore, he had to deal with Zhang Fei with all his might, it can be said that this was his biggest mistake, of course, if Yan Liang didn't attack Kaiyang, Cao Cao really wanted to storm Peixian, but everything changed because Yan Liang sent troops to Kaiyang.

This is fate, even Cao Cao didn't expect that the Jizhou army would be defeated so quickly, but in six days, it fell short, and he even thought for a while that if he had been following the original plan, besieging the city and sending reinforcements, or instead of aiding Zhang Xun, but storming Peixian, maybe the situation would be better, but now, it was too passive.

Guo Jia regretted, but also helpless, they met Zhang Fei This is something he did not expect, if he knew that the enemy on the opposite side was Zhang Fei in the morning, maybe he would persuade the lord to withdraw his troops, just imagine, Zhang Fei went to Pei County under the banner of Huang Zhong, isn't that just to confuse Yan Liang, if Yan Liang sends troops, he will inevitably be attacked by Huang Zhong, Yan Liang will be defeated, they will not withdraw their troops, what is the use of continuing to spend in Pei County?

However, it was too late for them to know the truth, if they hadn't heard that Huang Zhong had appeared in Kaiyang, they wouldn't have discovered that the enemy on the opposite side was Zhang Fei at all.

At this time, the voice of the pro-soldier came from outside the tent, general, there is news from Langya.

Now Cao Cao is most concerned about the results of the battle between Langya Yanliang and Huang Zhong, although Yuan Tan was defeated, but the Jizhou army still has a chance to turn defeat into victory, and he still has a trace of luck.

"Come in."

Soon, the spies came in and reported the latest military information to Cao Cao, and there was no news that made him desperate more than the news of Yan Liang's defeat, and he was defeated in the hands of Guan Yu.

Guan Yu, haven't you been in Wuxian County, why did you run to Langya?

Cao Cao sighed, and even Guo Jia, after hearing the news, had to quickly find the map, and then do the fastest and most accurate analysis through the only known information.

"What a big game of chess!"

For a long time, Guo Jia sighed, like him, a proud person in his heart can give such an admiration, obviously he really admires Liu Lan from the bottom of his heart for taking this wonderful move.

Guan Yu's stay in the Setshan camp in Wuxian County is just a disguise, he and the main force of the setshan camp were sent to Langya by Liu Lan early in the morning, and Huang Zhong's dispatch of troops is also an illusion, in order to confuse Yan Liang, and the troops who really came to Pei County were actually Zhang Fei in disguise, and it was precisely because of this that Yan Liang was fooled and fell for Liu Lan's tricks, resulting in the annihilation of the Jizhou army.

50,000 people, Liu Lan really has a big appetite, with a Qingzhou, he eliminated 50,000 Yuan Shao, this time, even Yuan Shao in Kanto didn't dare to say that he could win him. ”

"No, Yuan Shao still has the strength, with the population and money of Jizhou, Yuan Shao is still the strongest, but Liu Lan has become his strongest opponent, but I am a little worried, after this battle, Yuan Shao will no longer dare to use troops against Liu Lan, at least not for the time being." Cao Cao said worriedly.

"Yan Liang is dead, can he ignore it?" Guo Jia didn't believe it.

"Liu Lan didn't take advantage of the situation to recapture Qingzhou, it means that he still doesn't want to tear his face with Yuan Shao now, Yuan Shao can't understand it, and those strategists under his account must also see it, at this time, if Yuan Shao comes to attack Xuzhou again, they will definitely stop it, if Yuan Shao is persuaded by them, then it is bound to destroy my Yanzhou first and then seize the Central Plains with Liu Lan, if Yuan Shao is convinced, then he will come south to attack us, it will be a very soon thing."

Guo Jia was stunned for a moment, and then had to nod, he stayed in Yecheng for more than a year, not a long time, but he knew a person enough, as if he could write to Yuan Shao and sing praises to him, which means that he understands Yuan Shao's personality and knows his preferences, so he can do what he likes, as for not being reused, it's not that he didn't play a role, it's just that Yuan Shao's use of Hebei scholars is the trend of the times, and his identity as a Yingchuan scholar was relatively special at that time, so he has never had a chance to come forward.

It is precisely because of this that when Cao Cao said what Yuan Shao was very likely to do, Guo Jia became worried, in fact, Liu Lan's purpose was obvious from the beginning, that is, to sow discord and divide the alliance between them and Yuan Shao, and he also succeeded, using a Qingzhou to successfully obtain Yuan Shao's guarantee that Yuan Shao would not send troops.

If it weren't for Yuan Shao's great ambition, if he hadn't taken the initiative to send troops, then maybe Yuan Shao wouldn't have died at all, and the Jizhou army would have won Qingzhou without a single soldier.

It's a pity that they still persuaded Yuan Tan, but Yan Liang fell for Liu Lan's trick again, and finally the whole army was wiped out, from this point of view, it seems a little wrong, but it is completely reasonable, just like Guo Jia's analysis of Cao Cao at that time, the reason why Liu Lan let Zang Ba retreat to Langya instead of Dongguan means that Dongguan can be given to Yuan Shao, but Langya is his last bottom line, when Yan Liang is pressing step by step, he has to change his previous plan and go all out to deal with Yan Liang, which can be said to be a temporary deployment.

Even at the moment when he transferred Huang Zhong, it was estimated that even Liu Lan himself did not dare to guarantee that Yan Liang would use troops against Kaicheng, but this was actually a test of Yan Liang, if Yan Liang did not send troops, then it would mean that the Jizhou army would not attack Kaiyang in a short period of time, in that case, Guan Yu would not continue to stay in Donghai County, but would go directly to Peixian County to deal with them.

At that time, Zhang Fei's 30,000 people plus Guan Yu's 30,000 people, as well as Zhao Yun's Xuzhou Army Xu Sheng's Peixian Army, they and Yuan Shu's coalition army will definitely be unable to compete, so they are quite lucky in this battle, otherwise Yan Liang's ending is likely to become them, and now Yan Liang is a substitute for them, so then they must consider how they should choose.

Now Guo Jia can be sure that Guan Yu has begun to head towards Peixian, if it is delayed, when Guan Yu and Zhao Yun's main forces arrive, then it will be difficult for them to leave, but now it is actually very embarrassing, even if they want to leave, if Guan Yu does not plan to stop there, then attacking all the way will pose a great threat to them.

If this is the case, then it is obviously better to confront the Xuzhou army in Peixian than to enter Yuzhou or even Yanzhou and then confront the Xuzhou army, at least even if it is destroyed, it is also to destroy Peixian controlled by Liu Lan.

"You mean, continue to stay in Pei County?" Cao Cao frowned.

"Yes, let's observe the situation first, what if Yuan Shao sends troops again?" Guo Jia still thinks that Yuan Shao will send troops again, this is related to the issue of face, a general like Yan Liang is folded in Kaiyang, whether it is internal or external, he must have an explanation, otherwise wouldn't the soldiers be chilled?
