Guo Jia soon came to Cao Cao's Chinese army tent, the tacit understanding between the two, many times without Cao Cao opening his mouth, Guo Jia can already guess eight or nine without leaving ten, not to mention the current form in front of him, of course, I understand that this heart knows that Cao Cao is looking for him, it must be a matter of the battle of Xuzhou.

Along the way, Guo Jia thought about all kinds of possibilities, but when he entered the big tent of the Chinese army, he saw the chief officer who was originally staring at the map raise his head, and the eyes that shot over him made him extremely ashamed, he knew what the lord was looking forward to the most at this moment, but just like Zhang Xun was forced to withdraw the army, many things could not be reversed by manpower.

Cao Cao, who looked at Guo Jia, was a little nervous in his heart, he knew and knew that if even Guo Jia had no choice, there would be no need to continue the stalemate.

"Lord!" Guo Jia stepped forward and saluted.

"You say, when will Yuan Shao attack Xuzhou?" Cao Cao asked.

Guo Jia was slightly stunned, although the journey was very short, he was almost thinking about how to improve the current unfavorable situation, but he never expected the lord to ask him about Cao Cao, I have to say that the lord asked him this, which really made him see a glimmer of hope, but soon, the hope was dashed again.

"I don't know whether I should trust Yuan Shao, I missed the opportunity several times, and it is not wise to send it to him again, but since the lord asked, I feel that Yuan Shao will not rush to Xuzhou first, and if he wants to send troops to Xuzhou, it must be after Wen Chou arrives in Chengyang County from Huang County, and he will join Gao Ran, but this time is not good."

Cao Cao nodded and said: "You and I thought together, in fact, after Liu Lan's main force strategically retreated, and sent troops to attack Shouchun, so that our army lost the support of the Shouchun army, we have no advantage in the first strength, and Wen Chou led the main force of the Jizhou army in Huang County, if I were Liu Lan, I would definitely take advantage of this opportunity." ”

"The lord means that Liu Lan will ......"

"Yes, if I were Liu Lan, I would gather the main force to defeat our army before Wen Chou led the army back to Chengyang County, so that Xuzhou would have no worries, and then I could let go and fight with Yuan Shao, wouldn't this be the best policy? Even if Liu Lan is afraid of a stalemate with our army and does not dare to rush into a troop, he will definitely be prepared for a long-term war, and this is a situation that our army does not want to appear now, our military needs are not enough for us to continue to consume, either a quick battle and a quick withdrawal of troops, or Yuan Shao can send troops in a short time! ”

"The lord forgot one thing, Pei County!"

"Oh?" Cao Cao's squinted eyes suddenly widened, and he looked at Guo Jia, but found that he had been standing since he entered the big tent, waving his hand: "Sit, sit down, let's talk in detail." ”

Guo Jia sat down and whispered: "Pei County has how many military quarters in the city, and the humble position does not dare to speculate, but its military needs must be enough for Pei County to hold on for a year and a half, if we can take Pei County, maybe our military needs will be solved temporarily, of course, this is just a bold idea of the humble position, after all, there are still many variables in this, such as Liu Lan originally did not have the idea of attacking us, once we attacked Pei County, but he was really brought over, or at the same time as the siege of the city, Shouchun's military supplies were all destroyed by Chen Gong and others in the city, When the time comes, leaving such a city will become a drag. ”

"What you said is right, the variables are indeed a bit big, but it also shows that as long as you think of a way, you can still come up with a way, in fact, our situation is not as bad as it seems." Cao Cao's smile made the country show a hint of embarrassment, not that he felt that what Cao Cao said was wrong, but that his words were out of place, because there will definitely be a way, but how much the situation in the game will change.

Because the enemy we have to face is not an opponent who will not fight back, but an opponent who is quite a strange tiger, but the current lord seems to have become a little unknown to him, and the once wise man has become extremely blind, if he really treats his opponent as an idiot, what are the chances of winning this battle.

Guo Jia sighed in his heart, he knew that the lord was unwilling in his heart, so he became a little paranoid like now.

Cao Cao groaned and said: "Although I don't know what Yuan Shao is thinking now, I know that he can't wait to start the battle of Xuzhou now, with my understanding of him, I believe that Wen Chou will go south soon, but judging from the information collected by all parties now, Wen Chou does not have any hint of going south."

This is extremely strange, believe me, the more Wen Chou behaves like this, it means that the day when he is going south is approaching, he is confusing the enemy and confusing Liu Lan. Cao Cao was extremely sure, no one knows Yuan Shao better than him, the more this situation is now, the more it shows that there is something strange in it, this is by no means that he is making excuses for continuing to insist, but he really sees hope, so he tried to lobby Guo Jia, if he still does not support, thinking that it is a miscalculation, and the Jizhou army's attack on Xuzhou is his misjudgment, then he can only withdraw his troops, even if he is proven right afterwards, he will not blame Guo Jia.

Cao Cao said it to this point, although Guo Jia knew that because the lord of the battle of Xuzhou was almost stunned, he would even appear on the battlefield of Jin Ge Iron Horse when he was sleeping, but this can only show that he attaches great importance to this battle, and it cannot be said that he can fight this battle desperately.

And Cao Cao's words, first of all, he said that it was because of his familiarity with Yuan Shao that he would make such a judgment, but don't forget, in order to be able to be reused by Yuan Shao, Guo Jia studied Yuan Shao's preferences very much, so for Yuan Shao, Guo Jia boasted that he didn't have to be bad at all.

Of course, he is very unique in looking at people, but he also knows that in Liu Lan, he has lost his eyes, but it also makes him affirm a judgment, that is, if he can reach an agreement with the lord on the view of a person, it means that there is nothing wrong with the judgment, and if there is a disagreement, it also means that this person is not so simple.

And in the matter of Yuan Shao, obviously after Cao Cao said his thoughts, Guo Jia first had a positive attitude towards his analysis, and he even suspected that maybe Wen Chou had quietly gone south, and maybe he would appear in Langya in less than half a month. Of course, this is just his judgment, but whether to take the risk or not, Guo Jia did not dare to make such a guarantee to Cao Cao, although Cao Cao said that he would not blame him, but at that time, he was a sinner!

"If the lord has already made up his mind, there is only one requirement for humility!"

Cao Cao was slightly stunned and said, "What does Feng Xiao want to say?" ”

Guo Jia showed a sly smile in his eyes, and said: "If the lord wants to prove his judgment, I think he should withdraw to Feng County first at this time, I think this will be the safest choice at this stage." ”

Cao Cao laughed, a good step to retreat, and when the time comes, it will naturally make Liu Lan pay all his attention to Yuan Shao.

In the evening, several war horses galloped into the inner city of Pei County, when the Shouchun soldiers found out that it was the moment of the dragoon and reported to Chen Gong, Cheng Gong was stunned, and then he got the news of Cao Cao's retreat, the arrival of this moment can not be said to be too sudden, far less exciting than Zhang Xun, after all, Zhang Xun's evacuation means that Cao Cao will never continue to hold on, so when he learned the news that Zhang Xun led the army to leave, Chen Gong had already expected today's situation, everything was in his expectations, It was almost the same as the time he expected to retire.

"Quick, open the city gate to welcome General Zhao." Chen Gong was excited to go to greet Zhao Yun, but he had only taken a step, but he suddenly thought of something more important: "Hurry, hurry, herald, immediately rush to Xuzhou and report this important matter to the lord." ”

The messenger rode away on a fast horse and galloped away to Xuzhou, and Zhao Yun also entered the city of Xuzhou after confirming that Cao Cao had indeed left, but in order to ensure safety, the dragoons did not enter the city, and he was really worried that once the troops entered the city, Cao Cao would kill a horse pistol, and then they would be seen in the city, and the gains outweighed the losses.

And when Zhao Yun entered Pei County, the messenger arrived in Xuzhou a day later, when Liu Lan received this good news, he naturally had to share it with Xu Shu and Shi Yi, when he heard the news, Xu Shu sighed, but Yi is chuckle. The so-called pulling a hair and moving the whole body, it can be said that Cao Cao's withdrawal from the army is completely this reason.

Liu Lan looked at Shi Yi with a smile: "The first merit of the Battle of Xuzhou is undoubtedly Mr. ”

"I deserve my humble position."

"Well, I think it's well deserved." Liu Lan, who was overjoyed in his heart, smiled at him and said, of course, the plan to attack Shouchun can be so smooth, I have to say that Cao Cao really knows the current affairs, if he wants to keep stalemate, this battle is really difficult for us to handle, and now we can let go of the battle with Yuan Shao.

"I think it's best to keep an eye on Cao Cao, see where he retreats, if he returns to Xudu, then he won't come back in a short time, if he just retreats to Feng County, it means that he still doesn't give up, and he has to guard against it."

~~~~~~~~~

The news of Wen Chou's southward journey soon reached the ears of Gao Lan, who had already led the army to Chengyang County, and he was inquiring about Wen Chou's news all the time these days.

Although the Jizhou army is strong and strong, he must make a desperate bet on dealing with Liu Lan, which is his biggest gain from fighting Liu Lan over the years.

Since the defeat of Jizhou, Gao Ran has always regarded Liu Lan as a great enemy, and it can even be said that many people in Jizhou, including the lord, regard him as an enemy in life, and now is the best time to eliminate Liu Lan, and when he thinks that once General Wenchou arrives in Chengyang County, he can attack his old nest Xuzhou for the first time, he becomes extremely excited, this is the most dreamed thing he has dreamed of for so many years, there is no one.

Of course, compared to these, Gao Ran's most concerned about getting up is how to deal with Liu Lan and how to take Xuzhou after Wen Chou arrives, after all, Wen Chou is the main general, and with his strength, how he will use his troops, there is really no way to guess, as for his reminder at that time, to put it bluntly, it still depends on Wen Chou, he will listen to it, and there is no way to do it if he doesn't listen.

That's why he is so cranky and guessing at the moment, but with their current strength, as long as Wen Chou is not stupid enough to attack everywhere, there is no reason to fail, he has a hundred thousand generals here, and although Liu Lan's strength is comparable to him, don't forget, he needs to guard all parts of Xuzhou, the troops are scattered, and the troops that can really confront them head-on are just the Setshan battalion.

In order to be reused by Yuan Shao, Guo Jia studied Yuan Shao's preferences very much, so for Yuan Shao, Guo Jia boasted that he didn't have to be bad at all.

Of course, he is very unique in looking at people, but he also knows that in Liu Lan, he has lost his eyes, but it also makes him affirm a judgment, that is, if he can reach an agreement with the lord on the view of a person, it means that there is nothing wrong with the judgment, and if there is a disagreement, it also means that this person is not so simple.
