Chapter 463 - Counting is Counting

Guo Jia suddenly laughed, which immediately caused a lot of restlessness.

Cao Cao's expression was also slightly moved at this moment, but he still didn't say a word, just looked up at Guo Jia. Not only Cao Cao, but also other civil and military forces also focused their eyes on Guo Jia's face after a short period of stunnedness.

Xiahoudun and Cao Hong are really suspicious, and they are also suspected of defecting to the enemy.

Xiaopei is Liu Bei's territory that has been garrisoned for a long time, needless to say, but anyone who changes to him will build his own territory like an iron bucket. And Tao Qian has just died, Xuzhou has just fallen into the hands of Liu Bei, and it is impossible to be managed by Liu Bei in a short period of time.

But Liu Bei just gave up Xiao Pei, needless to say, it must be the handiwork of King Zhu Ya again. Why? A little analysis will come out with the answer.

Xiahoudun and Cao Hong.

If it is said to be a scheming, Zhong Wenwu believed it before. With a great war imminent, it is not surprising that both sides will resort to any means. But you can give up strategic places, so what's it?

lost Xiaopei, and the whole of Xuzhou was completely exposed. With Liu Bei, even if King Zhuya's troops are added, it will be difficult to stop Cao Jun.

"Why did the prince abandon Xiao Pei?" Xun You frowned slightly, and took the lead in breaking the silence.

"It's a heart-to-heart strategy." Guo Jiacheng has a bamboo in his chest, not worth a sneer.

"Xiaopei is lost, and the door of Xuzhou has been opened, why?" Xun You asked again.

All the civil and military forces are also talking to each other at the moment. This is exactly what everyone is puzzled about. It is reasonable to say that Xiao Pei should not give it away so easily. Even if King Zhu Ya is a stranger and doesn't understand, doesn't Liu Bei understand?

"It's worth exchanging a small pei for two generals in our army." Guo Jia replied categorically, paused slightly, and sneered: "It's ridiculous that King Zhuya has exhausted all his organs, but he can't count the two generals of Xiahou and Xiahou, how can he fall for the scheme?" If Xiao Pei is lost, Liu Bei will definitely garrison Pengcheng. After taking Pengcheng, Xuzhou has fallen into the hands of the prime minister. ”

"Who can do this?" Xun You's brows furrowed, obviously ignoring the doubts just now, and then asked another question.

"Pengcheng is none other than General Xiahou and General Cao." Guo Jia smiled faintly, and his eyes flashed with the essence of my insight into everything.

The civil and military forces were in an uproar again.

Xiahoudun and Cao Hong were already suspected of defecting to the enemy. If these two really took refuge in King Zhuya and set up an ambush in Pengcheng, wouldn't they be defeated? Pengcheng lost, and Liu Beijun could win and go north to recover Xiaopei. With Liu Bei's reputation in Xiaopei, this is not difficult.

Xun You frowned again.

It's too risky. In case of a real ambush in Pengcheng, the morale of Cao's army will definitely drop greatly. If one is not good, Liu Bei may take advantage of the victory to raid and turn the tables in one fell swoop. The failure of the conquest of Xuzhou will inevitably affect the overall situation and lead to a total rout.

Even if they want to go south to Pengcheng, they must not let Xiahoudun and Cao Hong lead the army in person, and they can be replaced by other generals.

Without waiting for Xun You to object, Guo Jia had already added: "The battle of Pengcheng is a matter of the reputation of the two generals. King Zhuya is cunning, since he has abandoned Xiaopei, he will not abandon Pengcheng. Pengcheng is lost, how can Xuzhou defend it? After a pause, he sneered again: "Liu Bei is just a person who sells shoes and weaves mats, he has great ambitions, but he often calculates small profits. Let Xiaopei, how can you let Pengcheng and give Xuzhou to the prime minister? ”

When Xun You heard this, his doubts were suddenly resolved. He could hear what Guo Jia meant. Let Xiahoudun and Cao Hong attack Pengcheng, firstly, to clear the suspicion of these two generals and disintegrate Lu Yao's attack plan. Second, you can use this to inform the people of the world that the prime minister does not need to be suspicious, and the employment is not suspicious, and the heroes of the world can come to invest, which has the effect of a thousand gold market horse bones. It's a win-win-win-

At this time, all the civil and military officials also tasted it, and immediately applauded secretly.

Liu Bei is also on the territory of Xuzhou. If there is no territory, let alone Uncle Huang, even the emperor will not be cared for. You don't see the young emperor in the hands of Yuan Shao and the emperor in the hands of the prime minister, all of them have become puppets. Guo Jia's plan is just the right one. Let Xiaopei, it is impossible to let Pengcheng again, so that the whole of Xuzhou can be caught.

In this way, Liu Bei and King Zhu Ya can be said to be stealing chickens and rice.

Cao Cao couldn't help but show a sense of relief when he heard this, and ordered on the spot: "Order Xiahou Dun, Cao Hong and the others will immediately send troops to Pengcheng, and there must be no mistake." He returned victoriously one day, and then kissed Yuan Rang, and Zilian celebrated. ”

……

In Xiaopei City, it is orderly.

The soldiers took Xiaopei without blood, and Cao Ren saved a lot of effort to appease the people. But another disturbance made his head big.

Xiahoudun and Cao Hong voluntarily went to prison to wait for the prime minister's fate.

Cao Ren's heart ached. Aside from the kinship, Xiahoudun and Cao Hong are both generals under the prime minister's account, and they have the courage to be unreasonable, and they are the first henchmen to follow the prime minister. But now almost both of them have become living dead, willing to squat in the prison and wait for death.

The expedited military information has been sent back, and he has been looking forward to Cao Cao's reply from the moment he sent it. Whether it's chopping or forgiving, it's better than being in a hurry now.

"Report, letter from the prime minister." The school hurried in.

Cao Ren was immediately overjoyed, hurriedly snatched the letter, opened it to read it carefully, followed by laughter, and rushed to the prison on the spot. As soon as he saw Xiahoudun and the two of them, he immediately ordered someone to open the prison and personally helped them out.

"The prime minister ordered the two of you to lead the army south to Pengcheng on the same day." Cao Ren faced the blank gaze of Xiahoudun and the two, and hurriedly showed the letter to the two.

Xiahoudun and Cao Hong suddenly looked a little more, and their eyes suddenly moved to the letter in front of them. When it was determined that Cao Cao had ordered them to lead their army to attack Pengcheng, they immediately wept with joy and strode out of the prison on the spot.

Cao Ren couldn't help laughing when he saw that the two seemed to have a new life, trotted out of the prison, and went to the school to order soldiers for the two in person. He knew that Xiahoudun and the others would not delay even for a moment, and their hearts had already flown to Pengcheng.

Sure enough, after a simple freshening up, Xiahoudun and Cao Hong immediately came to the school. Not long after, the two personally led an army of 50,000 and immediately Xiaopei and went south to Pengcheng along the official road.

The two of them were anxious, just hoping to get rid of the suspicion as soon as possible, and they rushed day and night as if they didn't want to die. In just three days, Peng Cheng was seen from afar on the horizon.

Pengcheng was in front of them, and the two were no longer anxious to attack the city immediately, but set up camp fifty miles away from the city, so that the 50,000 army could rest. Early the next morning, the two immediately set out and marched to the city.

"The two of you are General Xiahoudun and General Cao Hong?" Before the two of them could call for battle, an old soldier poked his head out and shouted to the city with a trill.

Xiahoudun and the others immediately chuckled in their hearts, and their faces turned pale.

This sentence is so familiar, it has simply become their inner demon.

"Open the city gate quickly, the prince has an order, if the two generals come in person, they will surrender the city." The veteran saw that there was no movement under the city, no matter if it was the two that Lu Yao had confessed, he hurriedly beckoned his colleagues to open the city gate and surrender the city.

In the battle, Xiahoudun and Cao Hongqin led an army of 50,000 to take Pengcheng without blood, and the gate of Xuzhou was completely lost. Great merit, good and good.
