Chapter 743: Breaking the Cauldron and Sinking the Boat

In the small county office, all kinds of people in Guanzhong gathered, and their faces were a little solemn at this time.

Originally, Cao Cao did not border Guanzhong, so many people ignored Cao Cao's threat and focused their attention on Wuguan and Bingzhou.

At this time, they suddenly heard that Yuan Shao had let Chen Liu, and after Cao Cao sent troops from Chen Liu's army to attack Guanzhong, everyone felt a little chill in their hearts.

Chen Xu was also difficult to calm down at this time.

If you say that in the last years of the Eastern Han Dynasty, which person made him most jealous, it was Cao Cao.

Although Cao Cao's reputation is not as prominent in history as in this time and space, Chen Xu cannot forget that it is this person who swept the world in history and swallowed mountains and rivers.

Even if later generations have a bad evaluation of Cao Cao, Chen Xu believes that Cao Cao is a real hero in troubled times, a real hero, and a true husband.

Due to various reasons, Chen Xu has not been able to fight with Cao Cao to this day, and the generals in Guanzhong have a deep understanding of Cao Cao.

But this does not mean that Chen Xu does not care about Cao Cao's powerful threat.

The reason why he took the risk to attack Yizhou was precisely because he thought that the remaining princes were all very strong now, and he felt great pressure, so he wanted to expand his strength quickly.

At this time, there was no danger to defend in Guanzhong, and there were not many people stationed in the two counties of Hanoi and Yin County in Henan Province in the east of Sili.

If Cao Cao drove straight into Guanzhong, it would be difficult for these two counties to be preserved.

Not only these two counties, even if there are two dangerous passes in the pass, Hangu Pass and Kei Pass, but there are not many defenders in the city, and Chen Xu is also worried about whether these two checkpoints can stop Cao's army.

With the strength of Chen Xu left behind in Guanzhong and Bingzhou, it was still a little reluctant to resist the attack of Jingzhou soldiers and Yuan's army, and no matter how many people as Cao Cao went, the troops were even more stretched.

It was precisely when everyone learned about this that they felt that this time they were in big trouble.

The oppressive atmosphere spread within the prefectural government.

After a long time, Tian Feng said: "Now that the rain has just stopped, if you return to the army to rescue Guanzhong now, the results of the previous war on Shu will be in vain." ”

"And this place is too far away from Guanzhong, and the messenger has been delayed for a lot of time, even if he returns to the army now, he will not be able to have time."

Speaking of this, Tian Feng's eyes were scorching, and he said: "The lord has been operating in Guanzhong for so many years, the soldiers are good at fighting, the people are in their hearts, and Zhongde and Wenyou are stationed in Pusaka. ”

"Not only that, there are generals stationed in Kei Pass and Hangu Pass, even if there are not many troops, they can still block Cao's army for a while."

"General Gao Shun guards Pusaka, and as long as the internal troubles in Pusaka are calmed down, he can lead the trapped camp to help resist Cao's army."

"In this way, it is not easy for Cao Jun to conquer Kei Pass and Hangu Pass."

Tian Feng's words are not untrue, Guanzhong is Chen Xu's base camp, Pusaka is full of talents, and there are too many students as a new force.

Now there is no shortage of grain and grass in Guanzhong, as long as Cheng Yu, Li Ru, and Chen Qun operate properly, they can quickly gather a group of people.

Even if these people are not strong in combat, they can help defend the city.

Coupled with Gao Shun's trapped camp, although he can't defeat Cao's army, he also has a high chance of being able to hold the city.

However, Zhang Ji shouted silently: "If this is the case, won't Henan Yin and Hanoi County become Cao Mengde's bag?" ”

Chen Xu's brows furrowed slightly, and then he set his eyes on Jia Xu, and couldn't help but secretly sigh that this person had a long-term vision and was vicious.

When Liu Bei was still serving as the pastor of Yuzhou, Jia Xu mentioned the strategy of abandoning Hanoi County and Henan Yin.

Because if the troops are divided to defend these two counties, it will definitely consume a lot of manpower and material resources. However, due to various reasons, Jia Xu's proposal has not been passed.

However, in private, Chen Xu repeatedly relocated the people of these two counties to other places.

Nowadays, there are not many people in Henan Yin and Hanoi County, and the defensive forces are also very weak; Even if these two counties were to be lost, it was not an unacceptable fact.

"But in the face of Cao Mengde and Guo Jia, who is full of wisdom, can the two dangers really stop the pace of Cao Jun's advance?"

Chen Xu thought of the various talents under Cao Cao's command, and couldn't help but feel a little big.

Even if Guanzhong is now full of talents, Chen Xu does not dare to ignore Cao Cao's command, those strategists and generals who have left their names in history.

Just when Chen Xu was silent, everyone in the county government was gossiping.

Many more sensible people persuaded Chen Xu to withdraw from the army for the sake of safety.

However, the vast majority of generals thought that Yizhou was already within reach and could not easily withdraw from the army.

"Enough!"

Just when everyone was arguing endlessly, and the county government was almost becoming a vegetable market, Chen Xu suddenly shouted.

When everyone heard this, their hearts sank, and they immediately didn't dare to say anything, and they all set their eyes on their own lord.

Chen Xu waved his hand and said, "Wenhe, Yuan Hao, De Rong, and Zhongda will stay, and the rest of the generals will go to reorganize their armaments first, and be ready to leave Langzhong at any time." ”

To this day, whether it is to continue to attack Yizhou or lead the troops to withdraw to Guanzhong, the army can no longer stay in Langzhong.

Even if the ground is still a little muddy, Chen Xu can't care about it so much.

After all the generals left, Chen Xu asked Jia Xu: "Wen He thinks, is it better to withdraw troops or continue to attack Yizhou?" ”

Although Tian Feng has analyzed before, it is not easy for Cao Cao to capture Guanzhong, but everything is not absolute, if Guanzhong really fails, the consequences will be unimaginable.

Therefore, even Chen Xu, who was already extremely resolute, was a little hesitant at this time.

After all, the war in Guanzhong is not a trivial matter, and he will be homeless if he is not careful.

This kind of gambling with one's life as a gamble is not so easy.

Jia Xu didn't answer directly, but asked: "If you only lose Henan Yin and Hanoi County, can the lord accept it?" ”

Although he is unwilling to lose these two county towns, compared to the entire Yizhou and the safety of Guanzhong, the two county towns are nothing.

Rao is like this, Chen Xu still thought about it for a long time before saying: "If you can keep the land of Guanzhong, it is not unacceptable to lose the two county towns. ”

Sima Yi on the side heard this, but an undetectable haze flashed in his eyes.

Sima is a prominent clan in Hanoi County, and when Si Jia Xu proposed to abandon the strategy of the two eastern counties of Guanzhong, Sima Lang also strongly opposed it.

Therefore, after hearing this, Sima Yi felt a little uncomfortable in his heart.

But he was also a man of great resourcefulness, and knew that there was no better way at the moment, so he stayed where he was.

Jia Xu glanced at Sima Yi and continued: "If you fail to capture Yizhou this time because of the affairs of the princes, it will be ten times more difficult to capture Yizhou in the future. ”

"Between me, the lord not only can't withdraw his troops, but he should also break through Yizhou!"

……

Let's talk about the standard of adding more in the future:

Every time the weekly recommendation vote reaches 500 plus one chapter, there is no cap.

For every 50 votes of the monthly pass, one chapter will be added, and there is no upper limit (including the starting point).

If you reward more than 2,000 book coins on the same day, you will only be able to add one chapter per day, and you will not accumulate (including the starting point).

The number of people who read this book is thousands, and every day I vote for a few more chapters; Therefore, don't rush to change in the future, I will work hard if you work hard.

And I've been taking full attendance every month, and since the book was uploaded, I've only been updated twice in more than a year, so it's more diligent.

How much the update is mutual, and everyone wants me to update more can be exchanged for tickets.

According to the previous data, as long as everyone works a little harder, I will add at least a dozen chapters a month, or even more.
