Guo Jia continued at this time, "Then since Cao Mengde can unite with Sun Bofu and Liu Xuande, plus some people from the local forces in Jingzhou who are still watching, think about it, it's not impossible." Moreover, what's more, in today's situation, even if Cao Mengde's Yanzhou army is not powerful, the local forces in Jingzhou are still somewhat biased towards him Cao Mengde! ”

When everyone heard this, they said in their hearts, isn't that what is going on, I remember that when Cai Mao was still alive, he was a family of Cao Cao, but although he was dead at this time, but now there are other families in Jingzhou, who dares to say that there is no one like him Cai Mao. So everyone knows in their hearts that Guo Jia's words are definitely reasonable.

Ma Chao, who had been listening to Guo Jia all the time, but did not speak, had a solemn face at this time, but this time he didn't pace, but he was more strict than just now. After all, it is impossible for him not to pay attention to this matter, what Guo Jia said at this time, he really didn't think about it, and of course he didn't expect it.

For him, of course, this matter is not a trivial matter, so he can't be so calm and grasp everything-

Ma Chao is just a person, not a god, and whether it is Cao Cao or Liu Bei or Sun Ce, which person pulls it out, it can be said that he is not an idle person, Ma Chao never dared to underestimate them, and it is impossible to underestimate them at all, not to mention those local forces in Jingzhou who are still watching. Cai Mao is dead. But the Kuai brothers are still there, so Ma Chao also feels a crisis, so he has to pay attention to it.

At least now he doesn't think so. He will definitely be able to contend with Cao Cao, Sun Ce, Liu Bei, and the tripartite alliance of those big families in Jingzhou. Don't look at the previous Qichun, it is true that the Sun and Liu coalition forces are at a loss, this is true, but even so, it does not mean that Ma Chao will despise them, this still won't.

If it is said, Cao Cao's Yanzhou army, Sun Liu's coalition army, and Jingzhou's local forces. The local family, the three parties are at will, and Ma Chao is fearless when he is against him. Although he will not underestimate the enemy, he will not be afraid of anything. But if the three of them really join forces, Ma Chao knows in his heart that he and the Liangzhou army. I'm afraid it's going to be dangerous.

When the time comes. The advantage will definitely be taken by them, but they are at a disadvantage. You have to admit that if the three of them really join forces and learn from each other's strengths, they are really not necessarily their opponents, so it is impossible for Ma Chao not to worry about anything. On the one hand, he doesn't want what Guo Jia said to come true, but he also wants to have a real opponent. If the three of them are really united, it can be said that they are definitely their strongest opponents. is also like Guo Jia said, it is the first strong enemy.

Guo Jia said this. He paused, after all, he had to let everyone digest it a little more, mainly to let his lord think more. After all, Guo Jia also knows that just talking about it by himself is not meaningful at all, and it has no special effect. The key has to be the meaning of their own lord and the people, how they decide, how to decide, and finally the key.

Of course, Guo Jia also knew in his heart that with the eyes of his lord and the eyes of others, it was impossible not to see this. At least even if they couldn't see it before, but under their own reminders, they must know a lot, so naturally they don't have to worry too much about them.

Therefore, Guo Jia still believes that his lord and everyone can come up with a good idea, what should he do about it, after all, it is necessary to take precautions now, and it must be "prevented before it happens". Now, while there is no news of the alliance of several parties, we should prepare first, but if we really wait for the news of their tripartite alliance, then maybe it will be a little late for us to prepare again.

People say that the soldiers are fast, but in fact, this is still fast, at least Guo Jia thinks that if you want to say that your side is prepared, then even if you are against such a strong enemy, it is not that you have no chance of winning, after all, it is not impossible to win more with less, and defeat the strong with the weak. Of course, over the years, your own strength can be said to be quite small, and your opponents are rarely able to surpass your own, so really, almost never encountered these.

However, if the three parties are united, maybe you will be able to win more with less, and defeat the strong with the weak. And what kind of person his lord is, don't you know it, and having such a strong opponent doesn't mean that there are no benefits-

After a while, Ma Chao, the lord of the lord, spoke, and he sat down at this time, and then raised his hands and pressed down, so that everyone sat down, and everyone sat down.

If you want to talk about Guo Jia's words before, they were not lightly surprised, but fortunately, everyone was surprised and it was over, after all, they are all people who have seen strong winds and waves, so even if they say that the sky is about to fall, it is just the same as being surprised. But I have to say that Guo Jia's words also made them think a lot, except for Cui An, who basically didn't have any ideas, everyone else thought a lot, and it was impossible not to think about anything.

And after seeing everyone sit down again, Ma Chao said, "Everyone, thanks to Feng Xiao's reminder today, otherwise I really ignored such an important issue!" ”

Ma Chao's words can actually be regarded as admitting what he ignores as a lord, after all, the so-called "gold is not enough, no one is perfect". Of course, Ma Chao can't be without any problems, but more often than not, he looks pretty good. And what about the people. As a subordinate, he is indeed quite satisfied with himself, the lord. After all, among so many princes in the world, his lord is definitely second to none. Yes, if you don't look down on your lord, can you still do things under his account?

As soon as everyone heard their lord's words, they hurriedly said in unison. "I'm scared!"

What does that mean, it couldn't be more obvious, that means it. The lord even said that he ignored this matter, so none of us, except for Guo Jia, actually ignored this matter. So you don't have to say anything more about ignoring it. Aren't we all the same?

Ma Chao smiled when he heard this. I won't say much more about that. The reason why he said this is just an attitude, Ma Chao is definitely not Cao Cao, Cao Cao will never admit that he is wrong, and Ma Chao, he has mistakes and mistakes, he may not admit it every time, but he will definitely not admit it. It's just that I brought it directly. After all, he had to give an explanation to his subordinates, for him. It's normal for people to make mistakes, and of course you can also say some of your shortcomings, it's not a big deal.

Then Ma Chao said again, "Today's matter, thanks to Feng Xiaozhi's advice, if it weren't for him, we would be careless!" ”

When everyone heard this, they all nodded in agreement. is indeed the case, just because Guo Jia is here, so because of his reminder, everyone realized that they are actually in danger now, not as easy as they are now. This is just a superficial thing, but what Mr. Fengxiao sees is something deeper.

Of course, Ma Chao praised Guo Jia first, and directly said that without Guo Jia's words, these people would have to be careless, which means that Guo Jia has made meritorious contributions, and Ma Chao's meaning is obvious, that is, Guo Jia has said something, and I agree with it.

Of course, everyone agrees with this. After Guo Jia said this, everyone also understood, and if they didn't understand it, what kind of mind would it be. Don't talk about others, even Cui An, he can understand a little.

"I wonder what you think about this?"

Ma Chao asked everyone, what do you all think, let's talk about it. After all, now people are likely to unite and fight against themselves, so everyone has to do their best, right?

As soon as everyone heard this, they knew that the lord must not be able to let go of his own people. But think about it, is it the master, if there is something, it is natural that the subordinates obey it, and there is nothing to say about this. But if you have to ask yourself, what do these people think, this ...... -

This time, Gan Ning was a little eager to try, Ma Chao looked at it and hurriedly said, "What do you have to say about Xingba?" ”

Gan Ning smiled and said, "My lord, as for the fact that Cao Mengde's three parties may unite, from the perspective of his subordinates, it is indeed as Mr. Fengxiao said, but our army has to guard against it!" ”

Everyone said, we all know this, can't you Gan Xingba say something useful, something we don't know?

Gan Ning probably knew what everyone thought, so he immediately said again, "My lord, as the saying goes, 'a city is easy to break through from within', although Cao Mengde's Yanzhou army and Sun Liu's alliance army and the local clans in Jingzhou have the foundation of uniting together, but because they are a multi-party alliance, it is impossible that there is no contradiction at all, and according to the subordinates, our army can start from this to divide and disintegrate its multi-party alliance." Let them have many contradictions, and it is best to break up unhappily, even if this is not the case, they will inevitably 'face and heart', and they will not do their best to attack us after all! ”

After Ma Chao heard this, he had to say that what Gan Ning said was really reasonable-

And everyone nodded the same, in fact, think about it. That's really what Gan Ning said.

When you say that there is no contradiction at all, it is impossible to say that there is no contradiction at all. So you can make a fuss about it. At least if there is a small contradiction between several parties, turn it into a big contradiction, and even if there is none, it must be created, so that it will be greatly beneficial to oneself.

But in this case, problems arise. This is something that everyone has to consider.

So at this time, Ma Chao nodded, and then said, "Xingba is reasonable. However, although the idea is good, it is still very difficult to implement it. Let's not talk about the precautions of several sides against our army, but how our army will be. In order to make several productions bigger and more contradictions. That's the question, and how to implement it. This can only be a step forward, a step to see, but now I can't be in a hurry! ”

After everyone listened to what their lord said, they couldn't help nodding their heads, their lord's words were reasonable, and some things were not at all what you wanted to do, so this matter really has to be considered in the long run.

Ma Chao glanced at Guo Jia at this time. Then he said, "Bong-hyo." Since it is you who advised this matter, then it is up to you to say, what should our army do at this time? ”

Guo Jia smiled, and said in his heart that his lord had already calculated, and in the end he had to let himself say it, but in fact, let himself say it, it's still like that, and nothing else.

So I heard Guo Jia say again, "My lord, everyone, Jia thinks that now our army naturally has to be prepared, this is inevitable." At least when there is no definite news coming, our army is taking precautions against this, and it can be said that it will not lose the opportunity, and it is always good to be prepared! ”

Of course, everyone understood what Guo Jia meant, and they thought about it the same way.

"At this time, our army should strictly guard Jiangxia, although Xiling has been lost, but our army has taken it back. After that, our army must strictly defend Jiangxia and try not to let the city fall into the hands of the enemy again! ”――

When everyone heard this, it was a little difficult. There is nothing wrong with recapturing Xiling City, but it is not easy to defend it strictly and try not to let the enemy capture your own city. After all, Jiangxia is a county, and there are not many cities left, so it is impossible for all of them to be able to defend it.

So don't say it's a tripartite alliance, even a Yanzhou army may not be able to stop it.

However, everyone still understands what Guo Jia means, after all, if the three parties are united, they will definitely have to march all the way into Jiangxia, so they must fight in Jiangxia, and Jiangxia is not very peaceful, so they naturally have to prepare for this early.

"Also, now our army is just like General Hansheng said, when it goes south to march into Changsha and seize Changsha County, so while our sergeants are strictly guarding Jiangxia, we are marching into Changsha as a soldier!"

This is what Guo Jia said, everyone understands that the advantage of doing this is, of course, that both sides can be taken into account without delay. However, there are advantages and disadvantages, and the disadvantage is that your own forces are scattered, which is of course not very good.

So Ma Chao also had to ask, "According to Fengxiao's words, our army's strength is going to be dispersed, I don't know if this is feasible?" ”

Guo Jia replied, "My lord, please think about it, although it is indeed possible for the three parties to unite now, it is true that this is not the case, so this is the most beneficial thing for our army." And our army immediately entered Changsha and tried to solve the war in Changsha as quickly as possible, and perhaps at that time, it is not necessary that the three of them will unite together, and it is not impossible that it will even be later than we think. After all, this matter is definitely not achieved overnight, it must not be a matter of one or two parties! ”

Ma Chao nodded slightly, to say that Guo Jia did convince himself, even if Jiangxia may now be facing the joint attack of Cao Cao's Yanzhou army, Sun Liu's coalition army and Jingzhou's local forces, but he still believed Guo Jia's words, and his decision remained unchanged, and he still entered Changsha, but Jiangxia had to defend it strictly, especially Qi Chun.

Ma Chao slapped the table and said, "Okay, so according to what Fengxiao said, just do it!" ”

The crowd shouted in unison, "We will obey the orders of the Lord!" ”――

So Ma Chao had already decided, and he did what Guo Jia and everyone thought, of course, it was also what he thought.

In order to prevent the three parties from jointly attacking Jiangxia, so Jiangxia was strictly ordered by Ma Chao to defend it, although he didn't expect that not a single city would be lost under the opponent's powerful offensive, but the most critical places must be defended, or it would be a great disadvantage to his own party.

Then, on the other hand, Ma Chao is ready to send a large army south to Changsha and take Changsha County as soon as possible. (To be continued......)
