Although they also felt that Liu Ye's implication was to want them to give up Puyang, it was not trivial at this time, and Liu Ye was the person recommended by Guo Jia to Cao Cao.

The reason why he stayed in Puyang may be to deal with today's events, he should not just abandon Puyang so easily, ignore Guo Jia's affection, and do such a brazen thing.

It is precisely because of this consideration that Xun Yu and Cheng Yu did not immediately express their position, but treated this matter more cautiously.

I saw Cheng Yu ask with a serious expression: "Ziyang, do you know why we want to guard this Puyang?" ”

It can be seen that although Cheng Yu restrained himself from getting angry, his face became ugly when he heard Liu Ye say that he wanted to give up Puyang.

Cheng Yu said: "In the past, Le Yi led the five countries to attack Qi, and more than 70 cities were lowered, only Jucheng and Jimo were not lost. Tian Dan, Peng Ye, Linzi City, was ordered to defend the lonely city with the people when the Qi State was in danger. Although Zhongde does not have the talent of Tiandan, but his ambition is not lost to the ancients, not to mention that Zhang Liao and Lu Bu's generation, although they are menacing, but they are not as severe as when Le Yi led the five countries to attack Qi, I Cheng Yu is stubborn, knowing that Puyang is difficult to defend, but he also disdains to live, since Ziyang wants to escape, then he will escape by himself, and he will not be accompanied! ”

Seeing Cheng Yu say this, Liu Ye replied respectfully: "Huishou Zhang Ling, although Ziyang is dull and knows the importance of Puyang to Cao Gong, but now it is unwise to know that Puyang cannot be defended, and it is unwise to defend it. ”

Seeing Cheng Yu's solemn face and not saying a word, Liu Ye continued: "The ancients had a saying: If you sting your hand, you will cut off your hand, and if you sting your foot, you will cut off your foot. Who? For the sake of harming the body. ”

"Now Puyang is like both hands and feet to Cao Gong, although it is difficult to break it, it can save his life, the victory or defeat of Yanzhou is undecided, and the princes want to kill themselves to become benevolent and save their reputation, but they don't know that this is the biggest loss for Cao Gong!"

After Liu Ye finished speaking, Xun Yu and Cheng Yu looked at each other, and after being silent for a long time, Xun Yu smiled, arched his hands, bowed slightly, and said to Liu Ye: "Zi Yang's words made Wen Ruo suddenly open, if it wasn't for Zi Yang's reminder, Wen Ruo almost missed Cao Gong's great cause." ”

Seeing that Xun Yu actually saluted him, Liu Ye was flattered, hurriedly bowed deeply, and said: "How can Ziyang dare to criticize Xun Sima and Shou Zhang Ling?" It's just that Feng Xiao

Before leaving, I had confessed that I should act at the opportunity, Puyang can abide by the rules, and if you can't put the rules, you can't put the rules, and you can't gamble because of the gains and losses of a city and a place. ”

After listening to what Liu Ye said, Xun Yu and Cheng Yu were even more dumbfounded, they didn't expect that Guo Jia had anticipated today's difficulties long before he set out for Xuzhou, and instructed Liu Ye how to deal with it.

Hearing that Guo Jia had already expected such a thing to happen today, Xun Yu and Cheng Yu couldn't help but admire his ingenuity, and he was able to foresee what happened today so early.

So Xun Yu asked excitedly: "Then what is Fengxiao's clever plan to solve today's crisis?" ”

In their opinion, since Guo Jia had foreseen today's events, he should have made arrangements a long time ago, so when Liu Ye mentioned Guo Jia, Xun Yu couldn't help but get excited, as if he had found hope of being rescued.

But Liu Ye looked puzzled, and he said: "Fengxiao didn't tell me any clever ideas." ”

When Xun Yu and Cheng Yu heard this, they asked incredulously, "How is this possible?" ”

It seems that in their opinion, they decided that Guo Jia had already made arrangements, and when the time was ripe, let Liu Ye say the method, and use unexpected tricks to survive in a desperate situation, just like he quelled the rebellion of the Qingzhou army in Xuzhou.

But what they didn't expect was that Liu Ye actually told them that Guo Jia didn't arrange any strategy, which is why they were so surprised.

Seeing that Xun Yu and Cheng Yu didn't believe it, Liu Ye said: "It's true, when Feng Xiao left, he only told me to improvise, but he didn't arrange anything and strategy. ”

After seeing Liu Ye say this, Xun Yu and Cheng Yu finally believed that what Liu Ye said was true.

That Guo Fengxiao always does things so unexpectedly, not only for the enemy, but also for his own people.

Everyone was expecting him to have some brilliant plan to resolve this crisis, but what they didn't expect him to leave behind was just one sentence: act on the opportunity.

For everyone, this is undoubtedly a basin of cold water poured on their heads, and they were immediately disappointed.

However, Liu Ye was not as depressed as them, but a little excited.

Liu Ye said: "But I understand what Fengxiao means, he is letting."

When we can't hold it, we can be flexible instead of living and dying with the city! ”

Xun Yu thought for a while and said: "What Ziyang said is not unreasonable, but if you blindly retreat, sooner or later there will be no way back, looking at Lu Bu's ambition, if you don't occupy all of Yanzhou, you won't give up, when the time comes, where should we retreat?" ”

Cheng Yu also said: "That's true, at present, most of the cities in Yanzhou have been occupied by Lu Bu and them, and there are not many places left for us to retreat......

"Wait, the rest ......"

Cheng Yu said, suddenly thought of something, and at the same time, Xun Yu also seemed to feel the meaning of his words, everyone glanced at each other, and they all laughed in unison.

At this moment, there was a sudden commotion under the city, and everyone looked down curiously, only to see that at the city gate, a group of people were gathered together, and the person in the crowd was none other than Lu Qian, who had left angrily just now.

I saw that he was carrying a big knife at this time, riding a red horse, and a few soldiers were followed by him.

These soldiers were all subordinates who had joined Cao Ying with him, and at this time, Lu Qian rode out, and they all followed the eldest brother.

Lu Qian at the gate of the city was stopped by the gatekeepers, and he shouted and shouted to open the door.

Xun Yu didn't know what was going on, so they asked, "Zike, what's going on?" ”

Hearing Xun Yu's voice, Lu Qian turned his head to look at them and said indignantly, "Can't you see this?" Lao Tzu wants to go out and fight those people to the death, it's better than being a turtle with a shrunken head here! ”

After Lu Qian finished speaking, he waved the big knife in his hand and reprimanded the soldiers guarding the city gate: "Get out of the way, don't block Lao Tzu from going out of the city to kill the enemy!" ”

Seeing that Lu Qian wanted to break out, the soldiers guarding the door tried hard to stop him.

I saw the young general guarding the gate warning to Lu Qian on the horse: "Lu Zhi, Xun Sima has an order, without his permission, no one is allowed to enter and leave Puyang City, you don't have Xun Sima's consent, just break into the city gate, this is a capital crime!" ”

Lu Qian's eyes widened, and he said unconvinced: "I want to go out to kill the enemy, not to run away, if you want to stop it, go and stop those cowards who want to escape, what are you stopping me for?" ”
