Although there was a wicked smile on the corner of Liu Wei's mouth, Guan Qing saw helplessness in his eyes.

Liu Wei was not what she knew back then.

At that time, Liu Wei would not mix the slightest falsehood with people who he considered to be friends or relatives.

Although Yuan Xi was not a friend recognized by Liu Bian, after all, he had followed Liu Bian in his early years, led the army to conquer Gongsun Zhan, and fought against the Montenegrin army.

In order to stabilize Hebei and prevent the sun from setting in Hebei in Cao Cao's hands, Liu Wei would actually send Wang Zhen to pretend to assassinate Yuan Xi and his wife.

It really made Guan Qing feel puzzled!

When looking at Liu Wei, Guan Qing even had a very strange thought.

In the battle of Guandu, Yuan Shao's troops were defeated like a mountain, what kind of force was behind it.

Could it be that Liu Wei did not expect Yuan Shao to win, but hoped that Cao Cao's hand would slash the dragon entrenched in Hebei?

With this thought in his heart, Guan Qing's gaze became a little blurry and complicated.

didn't go to Guan Qing, Liu Wei's gaze still stayed on the sparkling blue lake in front of him.

After a while, Yuan Xi, who had been summoned by him, walked quickly towards him, accompanied by the guard.

As soon as he arrived at Liu Wei's side, Yuan Xi hugged his fists and bowed, bowed to him deeply, and said, "Your Majesty knocks to see Your Highness!" ”

"Xianyi is anxious to see this king, what is the matter?" Hearing Yuan Xi speak, Liu Wei turned around, smiled at him, and asked him.

Earlier, he had also told Yuan Xi that he wanted him to leave Zhen Mi in Luoyang, and Liu Wei would send troops to assist Hebei in attacking Cao Cao.

Although there was a mirror in his heart, Yuan Xi didn't dare to say anything, and bowed to Liu Wei with his fists in his fist and said: "Your Excellency Fang Cai went back and thought about it carefully, what His Highness said was for the sake of his subordinates everywhere!" ”

"Oh?" A smile tugged at the corner of his mouth, and Liu Wei asked Yuan Xi, "Could it be that Xianyi has already figured it out?" ”

"Got it!" Maintaining a posture of clenching his fists and bowing, Yuan Xi said: "Cao Cao's army is approaching Yecheng, and the Hebei Dynasty is not safe, so Zhen Ji will stay in Luoyang, annoying His Highness!" ”

"You and I are life-changing friends!" Gently patting Yuan Xi's arm, Liu Wei smiled, turned his head to look at the sparkling lake in front of him, sighed lightly and said: "Cao Cao is powerful, the original army is difficult to deal with, and this king is also quite concerned about Hebei. Now that Xianyi has figured it out, when he returns to Hebei in a few days, when he has to mediate from it, he must be sure to show his thoughts and Xianfu not to meet with swords, and in time, this king will send troops! ”

"No!" Still clenching his fists and bowing, Yuan Xi responded.

Before he could straighten up, Liu Wei continued: "As for Xianyi, this king wants you to take over Hebei, but after you go back, you don't show anything!" This fashion has to be understated! ”

"Your Majesty, remember!" Among the Yuan brothers, Yuan Xi is not the eldest son, and he is not very good at pleasing Yuan Shao, he never thought of taking over Yuan Shao's family business, but Liu Wei said it so clearly, how could he dare to hold the mentality of not fighting with the world, and hurriedly responded.

"Xianyi and go to rest, stay until the evening, this king has his own banquet!" Waving his hand at Yuan Xi, Liu Wei turned around and set his eyes on the lake again.

Yuan Xi, who had always hugged his fists and bowed down without straightening his waist since he saw Liu Wei, hurriedly responded, took two steps backwards, and then straightened up and strode away.

Looking at the back of Yuan Xi's departure, Guan Qing said with some apprehension: "Your Highness, earlier our army entered Xuanyuan Pass, and tens of thousands of troops returned in vain, but now Cao Cao is in the sky, if you want to break it, I'm afraid it will not be easy!" ”

"In this world, there is no hero in the world who cannot be defeated by this king!" With confidence on his face, Liu Bian's eyes narrowed, and he said coldly to Wang Liu and Wang Zhen behind him: "Invite Deng Zhan immediately!" ”

"No!" Wang Liu and Wang Zhen knew that Liu Wei was going to make a big move, so they hurriedly responded, and Wang Liu turned his head and glanced at a guard on the side.

Seeing Wang Liu's eyes, the guard hurriedly clasped his fists and bowed, then turned around and left.

Although it has been a long time since Liu Wei became the king of Qin, there has been less contact with him, and Guan Qing has not been able to see Liu Wei's intentions.

On the contrary, although Wang Liu and Wang Zhen did not care about Liu Bian's long-term career, they followed Liu Biao every day, and they had already been able to grasp Liu Bian's thoughts a little.

When Liu Wei said that he was going to invite Deng Zhan, Wang Liu and Wang Zhen's faces showed a touch of excitement.

Hebei is in chaos! Daqin is finally going to make a big move!

At the same time that Liu Wei ordered the dignitaries to invite Deng Zhan, on the battlefield in Hebei, Cao Cao had just broken the army led by the two sons of the trial and captured the two sons.

In the tent of Cao Junshuai, Cao Cao knelt and sat in the first place, and in the tent, there were also a group of staff under his command.

In the battle with the Yuan army, the Yuan army was often completely defeated before the Yuan army understood the intention of the Cao army.

Seeing that it was not far from Yecheng, the resistance of the Yuan army was becoming more and more fierce, and for several days, there was still not much advance, and Cao Cao was also full of anger.

convened the staff, in order to discuss the defeat of Cao's army and take Yecheng in one fell swoop.

Looking around at the people in the tent, Cao Cao's brows were tightly twisted, and he asked everyone: "Yuan's army is defending Yecheng, although our army is fighting hard, it is difficult to make contributions, what should we do?" ”

In the past few days, Cao's army has advanced slowly, and everyone knows it.

Now Cao Cao asked about this time, all the staff members looked at each other, and no one stood up to respond.

Seeing that no one answered, Cao Cao continued: "Could it be that our army has only arrived here, and it will not be able to advance half a step?" ”

"Cao Gong!" This time, before Cao Cao's words fell, Guo Jia stood up, bowed with his fists in his fists, first saluted him, and then said: "Although our army is in Yecheng, it is not the time for a decisive battle with Yuan's army!" ”

"Not the time of the decisive battle?" Leaning forward slightly, Cao Cao stared at Guo Jia and asked, "Then when will the decisive battle be?" Our army's grain and grass must be transferred from Xudu, and the transportation of grain is too far, and the soldiers will fight hungry at any time! Yuan Shao retracted Yecheng, Hebei has a large population, once he is asked to gather troops and horses, how can our army win? ”

"Although it is difficult to allocate grain and grass, you only need to dispatch fierce generals to escort it, and it should be safe!" Standing up straight, Guo Jia said to Cao Cao: "As for Yuan Shao's recruitment of soldiers and horses, it is exactly what our army is looking forward to, why should Cao Gong worry about this?" ”

After being asked by Guo Jia, Cao Cao was stunned for a moment, and asked again: "Yuan Shao recruited soldiers and horses to fight a decisive battle with our army, so why is it what our army is looking forward to?" ”

"Recruits enter the camp for half a year, and even if they go to the battlefield, it's just a plate of loose sand!" Smiling slightly, Guo Jia said to Cao Cao: "Our army is coming to Yecheng, then Yuan Shao is panicking, there must not be many soldiers and horses, and he will be in a hurry to fight a decisive battle with our army!" At that time, Cao Gong only needs to break Yuan Shao's army, and then he can drive straight into Yecheng and enter Yecheng, how can he be in a hurry to gain and lose at this time? ”

Cao Cao's staff has always been able to be taken seriously.

Especially Cheng Yu, Xun Yu, Xun You and others often give advice to Cao Cao.

Hearing Guo Jia's words, everyone nodded one after another, and all of them showed expressions of agreement with Guo Jia's opinion.

Among the crowd, only Xu You twisted his face to the side, with an arrogant look in his clothes, and he didn't care about what Guo Jia said.

Looking around at the people in the tent, Cao Cao's brows were still slightly frowned.

What Guo Jia said was indeed not bad, if he just dealt with Yuan Shao alone, what Cao Cao was really worried about was the Qin army that had been silent since he captured Xuanyuan Pass.

In Xuanyuan Pass, Qin Jun's performance was too abnormal.

The Qingzhou army's plan was to intercept the Qin army at the cost of annihilating the entire army, but the Qin army fought several battles with the Qingzhou army, and the attrition of the Qingzhou army was much less than Cao Cao had expected earlier.

When was the Qin army's combat power so unbearable?

This doubt has always haunted Cao Cao's heart, and he can't wave it away, and he can't erase it!

Finding that Xu You looked proud, as if he was not saying anything to the audience at all, Cao Cao, who was already a little depressed, asked Xu You: "Is this matter far-reaching?" ”

had been waiting for Cao Cao to ask him a question, Xu You stood up, clasped his fists and said to him: "Cao Gong, if you sit and wait like this, the army is far away in Hebei, but the grain and grass are in Henan, how can it be done for a long time?" ”

Xu You's words happened to reach Cao Cao's heart, he sat up straighter, stretched out his hand to Xu You and said, "Ziyuan, please continue!" ”

Putting down his hands, Xu You first glanced at the people in the tent with contempt, and then said to Cao Cao: "Yuan Shao recruits soldiers and horses, and it will take time. There is no other person in Hebei, but there are many people! In less than half a year, I am afraid that Yuan Shao will be able to gather 100,200,000 people again! If he fought against so many soldiers and horses again, could Cao Gong be sure of victory? ”

Asked by Xu You, Cao Cao was stunned for a moment, shook his head and said, "None!" ”

Cao Cao admitted that once Yuan Shao gathered another 100,200,000 soldiers and horses, he was not sure of victory, and Xu You continued: "Now that Yecheng is impregnable, Cao Gong should turn his spear and sweep all the cities around Yecheng. When Yecheng is just an empty city, where will Yuan Shao recruit troops from? Even if you recruit soldiers and horses, how can you rely on the decisive battle with Cao Gong? ”

When Xu You said these words, Guo Jia didn't speak, and the staff in the tent were all tightly frowning, and no one agreed, let alone objected.

Looking around at the staff in the tent, Cao Cao knew that because Xu Yu was arrogant, the entire Cao army did not have much good impression of him, and it was reasonable for the staff to not deal with him.

From the faces of the staff, it was not clear whether they were in favor of or against Xu You, Cao Cao groaned slightly, and then shouted outside the tent: "Someone!" ”

As soon as Cao Cao's shout fell, one of the guards lifted the curtain and entered the tent, bowing with fists and waiting for his orders.
