Faced with such a serious situation, Liu Yu summoned a few henchmen who accompanied the army and said worriedly: "The situation has become unfavorable. ”

Jia Xu and Chen Gong's two strategists frowned, constantly thinking about strategies.

Liu Yu was very distressed, if it was just Cao Cao, he could deal with it calmly, but with one more Yuan Shao, his actions in Yanzhou became passive.

The other generals were also silent, they didn't have much to do about such a predicament.

After thinking about it, Chen Gong said suggestively: "Lord, the main purpose of our army's march into Yanzhou is to disturb the situation in the entire Central Plains, in order to plot against Hebei in the future. Now this intention has been recognized by Cao Cao and Yuan Shao, who joined forces to attack from the north and south, putting our army in such a predicament. I feel that it is better to retreat to the Tiger Prison Pass and avoid the edge for the time being. ”

"Retreat? Not quite right. Liu Yu was a little dissatisfied with Chen Gong's suggestion, it is rare for Liu Yu to have such a big hand, an army of 100,000, this is a joke, if you go back in disgrace and waste a lot of grain and grass, not to mention, you can also let Yuan Shao and Cao Cao start to grow bigger, and there will be trouble in the future.

"The military advisor's words are serious, our army is 100,000 large, so we will withdraw the army, and we will not let the world laugh to death." Ma Chao stood up and said. The generals also didn't want to retreat, and they left before they fought, which was not in line with their wishes at all. They also echoed Ma Chao's meaning.

Jia Xu kept observing all his faces, and after seeing that most of the people were unwilling to retreat, he stood up and said, "Lord, there is a way to do it, but it is a bit risky. ”

"Oh? Wenhe has a way, why don't you say it and discuss it together. Liu Yu knew that Jia Xu had a way, but Liu Yu was also prepared in his heart, Jia Xu's plan was not good, and once he came out with a plan, it was quite vicious, if Liu Yu was not prepared, he was likely to be frightened by Jia Xu.

Jia Xu began to express his thoughts: "It is undeniable that our army is now in a crisis, but there are huge opportunities. It is known to the world that Cao Cao and Yuan Shaoshi could not be united forever. I feel that the lord can ignore Yuan Shao. A large number of Yuan Shao's soldiers and horses were pinned down by General Huang and others in Youzhou and Jizhou, and General Zhang Yan made trouble in Yuan Shao's hinterland. As long as General Zhang Liao of our army sticks to Guandu, then Yuan Shao will not be able to advance an inch even if he has more soldiers and horses. ”

Zhao Yun heard this and asked, "Mr. Wenhe, if Yuan Shao enters Yanzhou through Dongjun, General Zhang will not be able to defend Guandu." ”

"General Zhao is too worried. Although Cao Cao and Yuan Shao were united, Cao Cao was not so generous to allow Yuan Shao's army to enter the eastern county of Yanzhou. People are selfish, if Yuan Shao suddenly had other ideas after entering Dongjun, Cao Cao would lose more than he gained. So Cao Cao would never let Yuan Shao enter Dongjun. Jia Xu explained leisurely.

"Thank you, sir, for your answer." Zhao Yun was persuaded by Jia Xu.

Liu Yu suddenly felt so stupid, such a simple truth, why didn't he think of it. Chen Gong was also persuaded by Jia Xu, he only thought of the benefits of withdrawing the army, but he did not expect that there was an irreconcilable contradiction between Cao Cao and Yuan Shao, and Jiang was still old and spicy.

"Wenhe, since that's the case. What is our army going to do next? Liu Yu began to ask about countermeasures.

"Our army's previous strategy was to exhaust Cao Cao. I feel that this established plan cannot be shaken. It's just that our army was initially set up to attack the city and seize the land, so that Cao Cao continued to rescue, and took advantage of his panic to attack him halfway, in order to achieve the greatest result. The situation had changed, and he suggested that the lord send a few cavalry to follow the example of General Zhang Yan and disrupt Cao Cao's entire power. Jia Xu said his plan.

Liu Yu originally thought that Jia Xu would use a vicious strategy, but it seemed that he was worried, and said: "Wen He's plan is very good. ”

When Liu Yu thought he was relieved, Jia Xu said something deeply: "Lord, Cao Cao's territory is much more stable than Yuan Shao's, if you just imitate General Zhang Yan's model, it may not have much effect, and I think I may have to use some special methods!" ”

"What's the special method?" Liu Yu asked involuntarily.

Jia Xu was silent, he didn't dare to say the method in his heart. His methods are more vicious, burning, killing, looting, and plundering can be done, anyway, everything that can destroy Cao Cao's territory can be done.

Chen Gong knew what Jia Xu was going to say, and for him, he didn't dare to think about the vicious things. But if he doesn't say it, it doesn't mean that others don't say it, so Chen Gong doesn't plan to advise Liu Yu, and everything is up to Liu Yu to make his own decisions.

The generals are much simpler, they don't know what Jia Xu means, but Jia Xu is now deeply yin, which makes them feel that it is not very good.

Liu Yu knew that Jia Xu was afraid that if he said a vicious method, he would definitely be truthful, and if he made the heavens angry and resentful, he would not be slaughtered as a scapegoat in the future, so as to thank the world.

Jia Xu is the best at preserving himself, so he knows that he has some things to say and some things he can't.

Liu Yu kept struggling in his heart, he knew that Jia Xu was more vicious, and the people in Cao Cao's territory were also the people of the Han Dynasty, if Yanzhou was destroyed too seriously, then even if Liu Yu got here in the future, it would be a huge burden.

"This matter will be arranged by Wen He, everything must have a degree. This king doesn't want too much bad news to come. Liu Yu was still ruthless, but he didn't want Jia Xu to do too much, and the second half of the sentence was to remind Jia Xu.

"The meaning of the lord is understood." Jia Xu understood what Liu Yu meant, and he wouldn't go too far.

"Well, since it's not a retreat. Then you have to face Cao Cao's three-way army. The king decided to start a duel with Cao Cao. Wenyuan's side will send some troops over to support, and be sure to defend Guandu to the death. At the same time, it was ordered that Dian Wei, Huang Zhong, Lu Bu, and Zhang Yan must increase their attacks on the king, and the king did not ask them to capture many cities, but only needed them to contain Yuan Shao's forces to the greatest extent. As long as Yuan Shao can no longer send troops and horses to Guandujia, this king will credit them. In the end, he ordered Luoyang's Fu Zhi to deploy 20,000 soldiers and horses to come to support, and the king wanted to divide the high and low with Cao Mengde. Liu Yu arranged various tasks.

After completing this, Liu Yu announced the dismissal of the meeting and left Jia Xu behind.

After a while, Jia Xu walked out of Liu Yu's military tent with a smile on his face.

And Liu Yu sat in the military tent and sighed, and said to himself: "No poison, no husband!" ”2510
