138 [135] Excuses
Guo Jia looked at the secret letter sent by Si Liwei when he stood in the small shed that leaked everywhere, and after just one glance, his face changed. Without the slightest hesitation, Guo Jia took the secret letter into his arms, he strode into the rain, took Si Liwei's horse, and galloped in the direction of Xiangyang City.
Si Liwei, who sent the letter to Guo Jia, was dumbfounded: My lord, what should you do if you ride the horse away and your subordinates?
In the end, Si Liwei had to walk back with difficulty.
"Cao Mengde is defeated?" Fa Zheng rubbed his eyes vigorously and looked at Jia Xu in disbelief.
Jia Xu was lowering his head to study the secret letter brought by Guo Jia, and he said casually: "It doesn't count." β
"But Cao Mengde was defeated in the first battle of Guandu...... Fa Zheng pointed to the map hanging on the screen and said: "The gate of Yanzhou is wide open, and he has no danger to defend." β
Cao Cao and Yuan Shao spent a period of time in the official crossing outside the Tiger Prison Pass, during which there was no large-scale conflict, just testing each other, Shen Xian thought that they would have to stalemate for a long time, so she ignored Cao Cao for the time being, and only helped him pay attention to Runan not to have an accident. Unexpectedly, Cao Cao actually fell into the same dilemma as Liu Biao: no food.
Cao Cao was first put on a scene by Yuan Shao, let Lu Bu copy his hometown, and finally drove Lu Bu out to subdue Yanzhou, and then attacked Xuzhou in a fit of anger because of his father's death, and then turned his head non-stop and formally confronted Yuan Shao...... After this series of wars, Cao Cao basically never lived in peace.
Although Shen Xian has been fighting almost all the time, at least her base camp has not been harmed, and there are people of the bug level like Xun Yu sitting in the rear to dispatch grain and grass, plus the Hanjiang Plain and the Chengdu Plain have always been rich and Hanzhong is self-sufficient, even if Shen Xian started the war between the three parties, there has never been a problem of insufficient food to eat.
In fact, Yuan Shao's food was not enough to eat, but he had a little more advantage than Cao Cao, he occupied Sili, Dong Zhuo, Lu Bu and others put a lot of grain and grass in Chang'an City.
So in the accumulated attrition, Yuan Shao defeated Cao Cao by a slight advantage, and launched an attack in one fell swoop when he was short of food and grass, and when he was short of men and horses. Cao Cao weighed the situation and felt that it was not the best strategy to resist hard, so he simply retreated and left Guandu, letting Chen Liujun out half.
Yuan Shao didn't chase Cao Cao for the time being, and he didn't know what he was thinking, so after capturing Guandu, he drove all the way to the direction of Dongjun, and also transferred some troops and horses from Jizhou, wanting to occupy Taishan County as well.
"Yuan Benchu, this means to be surrounded?" Fa Zheng held his chin and studied for a long time, and said uncertainly: "He wants to force Cao Mengde into a complete corner? β
"Isn't there still us?" Pang Tong narrowed his eyes: "Since they are allies, they are not desperate." β
"It's better to say that Yuan Ben originally wanted to force us to make a move," Xu Shu paused: "He did it on purpose." β
Pang Tong and Xu Shu came with Fa Zheng, and the three of them have always been inseparable recently. Jia Xu saw that Shen Xian intended to mention something, so he didn't stop the newcomer Xiao Xianmeng from participating in such an important discussion.
In addition to Yanzhou, which borders Sili, Yuzhou and Jingzhou, and now that Yanzhou is occupied by Yuan Shao, he can choose to deal with Yuzhou and continue to exterminate Cao Cao, or he can directly send troops from Sili to attack Nanyang in Jingzhou. Things have come to this point, if Shen Xian does not move any longer, Yuan Shaozheng will be happy to see it, and when he swallows and digests all Cao Cao's territory, it will definitely become more difficult for Shen Xian to conquer the enemy army.
Besides, Shen Xian had just taken Nanyang, and the situation was not stable, so it was a good time to engage in a sneak attack. No matter whether Shen Xian chooses to take the initiative or stick to Nanyang, Yuan Shao will not suffer.
"That's right," Jia Xu finally finished reading the secret letter, and he smiled slightly: "Yuan Benchu can't come down, we have to intercept him in Nanyang." β
"But......" Pang Tong frowned, and he pointed out the window: "That's it...... Will it work? β
Fancheng is still flooding, loud, fierce, if Guo Jia hadn't moved the nearby people away early, it is estimated that many people would have died.
"You're stupid." Shen Xian, who had been shrinking behind the screen and eating with her head bored, wiped her mouth and finally spoke: "It is precisely because of the heavy water here, it is difficult for us to go out, and Yuan Benchu can't get in." β
Pang Tong and Xu Shu were taken aback, they thought that there were only two people in the study, Jia Xu and Fa Zheng, but they didn't expect to hide a Shen Xian secretly.
Jia Xu had a headache when he heard Shen Xian's sweet and greasy voice, and he pinched his eyebrows: "Lord, what are you doing there?" β
"Sleep." Shen Xian said lazily: "I've been staying here all along, first the eldest brother and the second brother and Feng Xiao came and left, then you and Xiaozhi came, and then Shiyuan and Yuanzhi also came, and then now ......"
Shen Xian pushed the screen open, she leaned on Diao Chan's body like a boneless chin with her chin, and showed a bright smile to Jia Xu: "They're back again." β
Diao Chan held Shen Xian's shoulders and straightened her, stood up and carried the freshly brewed tea, walked around the screen to the front, and filled everyone with a cup.
"You've got good ears." Zhou Yu pushed the door in, followed by Sun Ce, who was pale-faced, and Guo Jia, who was expressionless, and he nodded at Diao Chan: "Thank you." β
Diao Chan shook his head: "General Zhou is polite." β
The expressions on Pang Tong and Xu Shu's faces were numb, and they didn't understand which play this was singing at all, they only felt that the water was a little deep.
"How?" Shen Xian stood up propped up on the table, and she walked slowly outward, while staring at Zhou Yu with burning eyes.
"You-"
"My lordβ"
Sun Ce and Guo Jia spoke at the same time, but both of them took a step slower, and Shen Xian, who was halfway through, was pushed back to her original position by Diao Chan, who came back with an empty plate, with the strength of not refusing.
Zhou Yu lightly admired Sun Ce and Guo Jia, and Guo Jia and Sun Ce turned their heads in disgust with each other.
Diao Chan smiled slightly: "Lord, you should still sit." β
"Okay." Faced with the beauty's request, Shen Xian could not refuse, so she had to touch Diao Chan's hand in the posture of a gentleman, and she was compensated for the benefits.
The secret competition between the few people before didn't attract Jia Xu's attention, he just looked at Diao Chan quietly when Shen Xian was eating tofu, and then spread out a bunch of bamboo slips on the table: "This is the information sent by Si Liwei." β
Zhou Yu said while looking through the bamboo slips: "Fancheng has been flooded, and there are neighboring county seats, but we have done a good job of flood control, and the people have been evacuated, without much loss." I sent Ziyi to take 5,000 people to Yingchuan to intercept Yuan Benchu, and Zijing went back to pick up Cao Mengde and Hanzhong ...... after receiving the news."
"The management and diversion of the flood is an internal affair of Nanyang, and then it will be handed over to Xiaozhi, second brother, don't help him." Shen Xian raised her hand to interrupt Zhou Yu's words: "I have written to Youwei and told him that he can properly send troops to Chen Cangguan. β
To put it bluntly, it is to send small forces to harass day and night, trying to run away without fighting, never entangle, and annoying the enemy if it cannot kill it.
Shen Xian said very tactfully in the letter, but I believe that with Xun You's wisdom, he will be able to understand the broad and profound Chinese language and culture.
Zhou Yu raised his eyebrows: "Okay, where is Gan Xingba?" β
"Follow Wen Ruo." Shen Xian blinked: "Do you want him to go to Hanzhong?" β
"Hanzhong Gongda and Weiyou are enough," Guo Jia, who had been silent, finally spoke: "Let him come to Xiangyang and tell him that there is going to be a water war." β
"What about me!" Sun Ce was very dissatisfied, originally he wanted to lead his troops to Yingchuan to beat Yuan Shao, but the job was robbed by Tai Shici, and now he wants to come to Gan Ning? This is absolutely not a no-go.
"What are you......" Zhou Yu curled his index finger and tapped the table regularly, smiling under Sun Ce's expectant gaze: "You send the lord to Hanzhong." β
Shen Xian: "...... What the? I'm not going! β
Sun Ce: "...... What the? I'm not going! β
Shen Xian lost her temper with Zhou Yu: "At this time, you let me go?" β
Zhou Yu asked politely: "What can you do if you stay at this time?" As he spoke, his eyes looked at Shen Xian's stomach.
Shen Xian was choked by Zhou Yu and couldn't speak, she rarely saw Zhou Yu's sharp side, and she was a little confused for a while, but fortunately, she still had an ally Sun Ce: "She's been almost six months, tossing back and forth on the road, what if something happens?" β
"So you're going to send her back." Zhou Yu said lightly: "I don't worry about others. β
Shen Xian pinched Sun Ce and said Big brother, you are really a pig teammate.
Sun Ce glared at Shen Xian angrily: Otherwise, you will come!
Shen Xian pursed her lips and quietly looked at Guo Jia, but he was lowering his head and studying the bamboo slips seriously; Looking at Jia Xu again, he dragged Fa Zheng and didn't know what he was muttering; And Pang Tong and Xu Shu were simply confused......
All the foreign aid is offline
"I'm not leaving." Shen Xian took a deep breath, she slowly stood up holding Diao Chan's hand, and stared at Zhou Yu with a firm gaze: "I am the lord, I will stay here, if Yuan Benchu dares to come, let him stay here." β
Zhou Yu looked at Shen Xian quietly, and the two looked at each other silently.
After a while, Zhou Yu asked, "Are you really leaving?" β
Shen Xian snorted slightly: "Yuan Benchu coerced the Son of Heaven to order the princes, the ambition of the wolf son, and usurped my Han family, as a child of the Han family, naturally I can't sit idly by and let him subvert the imperial power,"
"If he wants to fight, then he will fight."
Jia Xu and Guo Jia looked up at Shen Xian at the same time, Fa Zheng was a step slower, but he was looking at Xu Shu and Pang Tong.
Xu Shu and Pang Tong were slightly shocked, and the two looked at each other silently, only feeling that something was wrong, but if Shen Xian's words were taken apart and crumpled and savored, there was nothing wrong.
If you have to talk about being ugly, that is, the momentum that Shen Xian inadvertently revealed when she spoke did not look like an ordinary heroic hero at all, but like a high master.
However, there is only one lord of the world, and he was held hostage by Yuan Shao, and he lived a suffocated and aggrieved life, and others sighed when they saw it.
Shen Xian spoke cruelly in front of so many people, Zhou Yu couldn't help but give face, he finally laughed slowly, and applauded while laughing: "Lord, that's a good point, but we need a reason to fight." β
"Justified reasons."
Yuan Shao coerced the Son of Heaven to order the princes, who he wanted to beat, so he pretended to be in the name of the Son of Heaven, and he was righteous, righteous in hand, and suppressed others in momentum.
Shen Xian can fight with Yuan Shao and destroy Yuan Shao, but she can't ignore the world's leisurely mouth.
Therefore, before fighting with Yuan Shao, everyone must find a reason to prove that Shen Xian is only going to beat Yuan Shao, not to provoke the majesty of the Son of Heaven.
Even if Liu Xie has no majesty.
Shen Xian finally knew why the others were silent when Zhou Yu drove her away, and they were waiting for her here. 166 Reading Network
