At the beginning, under the command of Zhou Yu, the governor of the capital, Wu captured Xuzhou and Xiapi, and even made the news that the Wei general Xiahou lost his troops and lost his generals.

However, this news is not very good for Wei, Zhao Yun, who was ordered to go on an expedition and was appointed as the chief general by Cao Cao, frowned after getting Xiahou's plan and losing the two important cities of Xuzhou and Xiapi in a row: "The two cities of Xuzhou and Xiapi fell, and General Xiahou led 20,000 remnants of troops to retreat to Xiaopei, so that the shape of Xuzhou is not good." ”

"That's true, but I didn't expect that this governor of Wu would be so talented and able to attack my two important cities of Xuzhou and Xiapi in such a short period of time."

Guo Jia, who took a sip of wine, pouted, although what he said was extremely dignified, but he couldn't see the slightest so-called solemnity on his smiling face.

Speaking of which, this time Cao Cao really didn't think of sending strategists, after all, now that the country has been founded and the territory is large, the prime ministers of the three provinces like Xun Yu and the six Shangshu really can't leave casually, so they go out with the army, if one of the nine of them leaves for a long time, they will be in some chaos, which is probably the inevitable price after strengthening the administrative capacity.

After all, the strengthening of administrative capacity represents the more detailed and precise division of labor, if the imperial court is compared to a machine, then the more powerful administrative ability, in fact, is equivalent to pressing more and more precision parts inside the machine, if these precision parts are missing one of them, then it is needless to say what the consequences will be.

Because of this, although Guo Jia was made a marquis by Cao Cao, but he was unwilling to become an important minister of the court, the prodigal son Marquis entered Cao Cao's mind, with the idea of not using it in vain, Cao Cao threw him to Zhao Yun and them, of course, Cao Cao would not admit that when he was busy for the war, tired and tired, he felt very unhappy and aggrieved when he saw Guo Jia looking like a game red dust.

No matter what Cao Cao's thoughts were, I have to say that Cao Cao's original ideas really played a certain role.

Although Guo Jia was thrown into Zhao Yun and them by Cao Cao as if he was joking, Guo Jia actually knew very well in his heart that the reason why Cao Cao sent himself to Zhao Yun and them was to let Guo Jia help Zhao Yun and them win the attack from Wu State.

This war, Wei can't afford to lose, once lost, the best thing is to retreat to the north of the Yellow River after the vitality is greatly damaged, as for the worst result, needless to say, wait for the destruction of the country.

The heart was solemn and solemn, but Guo Jia still had a cynical smile on his face, as if he didn't put Zhou Yu in his eyes at all and said: "General Zhao, let's not talk about the others first, let's go to Xiaopei first, and after meeting General Xiahou, let's talk about it." ”

Zhao Yun nodded, didn't say anything, but silently raised the pace of the march, it is really useless to say more at this moment, and he has to wait for the meeting with Xiahou to talk about the rest.

When Zhao Yun led an army of 80,000 to march towards Xiaopei, the Wu ** team that captured the two cities of Xuzhou and Xiapi did not attack further, but instead withdrew most of the army and the materials obtained from the city to Xuzhou after the capture.

When the army of Wu was assembled, the army of Zhao Yun and others also entered Xiaopei, and at the same time, the news of the assembly of the army of Wu was also transmitted to Zhao Yun and others.

"The army of Wu is all gathering towards Xuzhou, could it be that they have learned that the army of our court is coming, so they are ready to assemble the army and fight to the death with our army?"

Cao Hong, who got the movement of the army of Wu, the first thing that came to mind was that Zhou Yu Zhun had gathered the army and fought to the death with his own side, Guo Jia on the side heard this, but he smiled and said: "Zilian is wrong, Wu is not better than my dynasty, the number of people is limited, the army of 100,000 can be said to have reached the limit of Wu State's ability to dispatch troops, Zhou Yu is really ready to fight to the death with my imperial army in the field, not to mention the punishment of Sun Jian, the king of Wu at that time, just the veterans of Wu who went out with the army, most of them will not agree, because they are very clear, Our Great Wei has a deep national strength, and once the 100,000 troops of Wu who fought in the field suffered heavy casualties, it can be said that they have no offensive power, but on the contrary, our Great Wei can organize a large army again to fight. ”

"This is also true, how can the little Wu Kingdom be able to compare with my Great Wei, but since it is not a battle to the death with my Great Wei soldiers, why did Zhou Yu concentrate his troops in Xuzhou, could it be that his plan is to defend Xuzhou to the death, so as to consume the strength of our army?"

Cao Hong once again put forward his opinion, this time not only he thought it was possible, but even Cao Ren, Xiahoudun and even Zhao Yun all recognized it a little, the defensive strength of the Xuzhou city wall, they were still very clear, if the 100,000 Wu army really defended Xuzhou City, then in order to capture Xuzhou, the Wei army did not know how many soldiers had to die to be able to capture it.

However, Guo Jia still shook his head and said: "No, if I don't seem wrong, then Zhou Yu's purpose is not on the war, but outside the battlefield, the army of Wu gives up those captured cities, then in the face of these cities, whether our army will attack or not, once attacked, not to mention anything else, even if it is captured, the troops will inevitably be dispersed, and if it is not attacked, then the pressure from the rear court and even the pressure of the Xuzhou soldiers under his command is a problem, second, Xuzhou has been under the rule of our Great Wei for a long time, What will happen to the people in the cities abandoned by Wu, if they defect to our army, then what will happen to our army, generals, you should all know that when my Great Wei attacked Xuzhou in the past, it was without a fight, so the number of people in Xuzhou can be said to be the top three among the many states and counties of my Great Wei. ”

Guo Jia can still smile in the face of this form, but Zhao Yun and they don't have Guo Jia's mentality, their faces have changed greatly, not to mention whether those cities will be attacked or not, as long as they think of the people coming to vote, it is enough to make them feel distressed.

It's not bad for the people to vote, after all, this shows that the people are in hand, but in the current situation, once the people are accepted, not to mention whether there are any spies among them, food alone is a big problem, you know, when the Wu ** team retreated, but all the materials, stored grain and so on, were taken away.
