Chapter 458: The Clarion Call for a Counterattack

However, although Xu Chu emphasized to others many times that he was a "tiger boy", the name of "tiger idiot" gradually spread in the army. Nonsense, can't a person who can take the initiative to call himself a little tiger still be considered an idiot?!

All in all, Guo Jia accepted Xu Chu in this way, and Xu Chu also accepted such a big brother of his own!

Well, the military advisor deserves to be a military advisor, and this insight alone is not comparable to ordinary people. Well, what is that sentence called, listening to your words is better than not reading

On this day, Cao Cao was rewarded by Yanzhou's meticulous work,

"Haha! Bonghyo, here's your chance! Here is our chance to counterattack! ”

Cao Cao laughed loudly, sure enough, since he got Xu Chu, Cao Cao's luck has finally begun to turn around, and he Cao Cao has come out of the trough of his life step by step, ready to climb to another peak! Is this Xu Chu his Cao Cao's lucky general? Or did you run out of bad luck some time ago?

"What's wrong?" Guo Jia hurriedly asked, when there is an opportunity at this time, it can only be that there is a problem within Lu Bu, could it be that someone betrayed Lu Bu?

Cao Cao replied excitedly,

"Now it's not only Lu Bu who has sent troops to plunder, but even the grain and grass of Xue Lan and Li Feng and others who stayed in the belly of Yanzhou are not enough. Now most of Xue Lan and Li Feng's sergeants have gone out of the city and plundered, the city is empty, we are surprised, if we attack suddenly, we will attack it with victorious soldiers, and it will definitely be a drum! ”

"Yanzhou is also short of food?!" Guo Jia was taken aback, and subconsciously thought that this would be the other party's ploy, pretending to be short of food. Set a trap and lead them to rush over and attack. As a result, he broke into the ambush of his opponent.

It's no wonder that Guo Jia thinks a lot, although there are many people in Yanzhou. But equally wide. The difficulty of raising many people on a wide land is almost the same as raising a few people on a few lands. is also plagued by locust plagues, it makes no sense that Xun Yu can do it there, and Yanzhou's abdomen can't hold on. Is there no defender on Xun Yu's side? Cao Cao specially left Xiahoudun and Cao Ren to defend him.

Then why did Xiahoudun and Cao Ren's soldiers hold out on their own without going out to plunder the three places of Juancheng? Could it be that Xun Yu's governance ability is really so rebellious?!

That's why Guo Jia subconsciously felt that this was a conspiracy, even if the Wenchen inside Yanzhou was not as good as Xun Yu, there was no reason why it would be so bad. Even if it was really necessary for some soldiers to go out to prey, it would not be too much, and Yanzhou's belly should not reach the point where the city was empty.

Soon, though. Guo Jia came to his senses, this should not be a ploy, but the real situation!

The reason why Yanzhou's abdomen can't hold on is not because the natural disasters there are more serious than those in Juancheng, but the real reason is "man-made disasters". Don't forget, when Lu Bu took these places, Chen Gong wanted to gain the support of the scholars, and now the internal policy of Yanzhou has completely changed. It is no longer the same as the policy of Juancheng and other places that are still in the hands of Cao Cao.

Since Chen Gong wants to satisfy the interests of the scholars, it is harming the interests of the people at the bottom. It is also bound to harm its own interests. It's good if you don't encounter anything, but at this time you encountered a locust plague.

In addition, because Cao Cao was going to attack Xuzhou, most of the local grain in Yanzhou was taken away by Cao Cao, of course. It was precisely because of the emptiness in Yanzhou at that time that Chen Gong and others succeeded. But there are pros and cons to everything, obviously. At this moment, the shortcomings of Lu Bu's side were finally reflected.

The same plague of locusts. The influence on Lu Bu's side is far greater than that of Cao Cao's side!

"What a great opportunity indeed! Now that Lu Bu is still stationed on the Shanyang side to eat, no one can imagine that we can defeat the Yellow Turban Thieves here so quickly. Completely recovered. So if we don't return to Juancheng now, we will directly wave our troops to attack the belly of Yanzhou, and we will definitely catch them off guard! Xue Lan and Li Feng are incompetent, and the recovery of Yanzhou is just around the corner! Guo Jia stroked his palm and said.

"That's right, that's what I thought. The soldiers are fast, let's set off immediately! Cao Cao decided on the spot.

"Lord, this time my tiger boy Xu Chu is willing to take the lead! What Xue Lan and Li Feng are, I will take the heads of the two as a gift of worship! Xu Chu suddenly opened his mouth to ask for battle.

Cao Cao was overjoyed when he heard this, and directly agreed to Xu Chu's request.

Guo Jia's eyelids jumped next to him, hey, don't be in such a hurry to make meritorious contributions, the greater your credit, the sooner you will leave me.

This is really a bit ironic, most people will wish that the generals under their command would make meritorious contributions, after all, this is also a matter of giving themselves a long face, but Guo Jia has been thinking of the "high merit and high master" from the beginning

On the way, during the rapid march, Guo Jia and Cao Cao sat in the same carriage. Although Guo Jia is weak and not good at riding horses, this kind of thing is excusable, and only Guo Jia can enjoy such treatment in Cao Jun. Others, such as Xun Yu and others, also rode their own horses to follow them.

Being able to sit in the same car with Cao Cao and sit at the same table, it seems that in addition to Guo Jia, only Liu Bei, who was temporarily under Cao Cao, enjoyed this kind of treatment.

Not to mention, in the car, Guo Jia said to Cao Cao,

"Lord, I think we'd better find a way to win with one blow this time!"

Cao Cao smiled, failing to understand Guo Jia's true intentions, and replied,

"Such a good opportunity, of course, is to be won by one blow."

Guo Jia shook his head,

"What I'm trying to say is literally, one hit wins!"

Cao Cao was stunned, originally thinking that Guo Jia meant to defeat the other party in one go, but he didn't expect it,

"Are you saying that you will directly take Yanzhou back in one battle?!" Cao Cao shouted in surprise, Guo Jia's plan is definitely whimsical under normal circumstances, to take Yanzhou in one battle, why don't you just say that people will surrender directly, it will be more convenient. However, since this sentence came out of Guo Jia's mouth, it doesn't seem like a joke, so at least it should be feasible.

"That's right, winning a battle is what is best for us." Guo Jia nodded and said.

"Of course I understand that this is in our best interest, but will it be safe?" Cao Cao couldn't help asking.

"Lu Bu is different from Tao Qian, Tao Qian can directly set a strategy of defending without fighting at all, but Lu Bu is different, Lu Bu's army is relatively belligerent up and down, in their eyes, if they don't even fight, if they defend directly, it will be a complete shame. Therefore, even if we are taken by surprise, even if their own cities are empty, the generals of Lu Bu led by Xue Lan will definitely have to test it first. However, after the temptation, it was found that there was indeed a big disparity between the strength of the enemy and the enemy, so Xue Lan would inevitably adopt a stubborn strategy and wait for Lu Bu to come to the rescue. Guo Jia analyzed Cao Cao.

Cao Cao nodded,

"So, we're going to take advantage of the fact that the other party is just tempting to wipe them out in one fell swoop?!"

Guo Jia's words do make sense, but they may not be so easy to achieve. (To be continued......)
