PS: Thank you for the tips from the dreamless book friends, and I break the bank every month

In the end, the two of them broke up unhappily, in fact, this is the result that the two expected, but even so, even if it were to do it again, the two of them would still do it.

Pang De returned to his side, and then said to Liang Kuan: "Attack Thorn Yang!" ”

"No!"

After Liang Kuan listened to his general's words, he led the Liangzhou soldiers to attack Jianyang. If you want to say that he is just waiting for his general's words, but Pang De didn't say anything before, and he went to the city of Thorn Yang to say a few words to Li Tong, which had to make Liang Kuan anxious.

Indeed, although Liang Kuan also knew that what his general said to Li Tong was naturally justified. However, he really didn't think that Pound's words would have any big effect, so he felt that instead of being like before, it would be better to let himself go directly to attack Thorn Yang-

But his own general didn't speak, and he didn't dare to move at all. At this time, Pang De came back and ordered him to lead his troops to attack the city, and Liang Kuan was very happy. The heart said that he was just waiting for this time, but fortunately, he was finally going to attack the city.

At this time, Li Tong was talking to himself at the head of Thorn Yang City: "Hmph! I've been waiting for you for a long time! ”

Then he raised his hand and said to the Yanzhou soldiers guarding the city: "Brothers, hold on to Jianyang, don't let the Liangzhou army take advantage!" ”

"No!"

Don't look at the Yanzhou army, there are only 5,000 people defending the city. But the shouting was not small, and it sounded like ten thousand people.

Hearing the shouts of his own soldiers, Li Tong seemed satisfied. After nodding slightly, he said, "Okay, everyone, I believe you are all good, kill the enemy with me!" ”

As he spoke, at this time, Li Tong had already raised the ring-headed knife in his hand, and then pointed directly at the city: "Although the enemy army is fierce. But our army is not afraid of a war! ”――

Regarding the words that Li Tong shouted at the head of the city, although Liang Kuan was under the city, he could hear it clearly.

And he was despissing in his heart at this time. The heart said that you Li Gongxin is very hearty, but he is not a vegetarian. Although it is true that your own men and horses do not have an advantage in numbers, their combat power is stronger than yours, so you have to let you lose a piece of meat.

So far. It was the prelude to the Liangzhou Army's attack on Jianyang. Although the Liangzhou army is indeed very fierce. However, Pang De, who is not superior in numbers, can take advantage of the battle of Thorn Sun, just wait and see.

Cao Cao, who occupied Wuling, can be said to have let go of a lot of hearts now. After all, if you can't occupy a city or a county, this is not just a simple face problem, but a problem for the supply of your own army. After all, without the support of the county, how long can you support it with your own grain and grass. If you really get a chance by the Sun and Liu coalition forces. Then they consume their own grain and grass, and their own party will be passive.

Don't say anything else. Let's just say that the previous battle in Fangling, wasn't Xu Huang defeated in the end because of this?

So after occupying Linyuan, and then completely taking Wuling, Cao Cao was indeed much more relieved. At least now you don't have to worry about being taken advantage of by Sun and Liu's armies, and you will consume grain and grass or something.

However, although this can be regarded as solving one of Cao Cao's heart problems, the problem that really bothers him the most has not been solved. That is the problem of your own retreat, and now that there is no retreat, what do you let yourself do. Although it seems that it has no impact on oneself now, in fact, who really understands that people don't know, if it really has a big impact, then it may be too late for oneself to happen, this thing is not a joke.

So it must be admitted that this is definitely not a trivial matter, but it is still a major event, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a big matter. At least that's what Cao Cao thinks. Therefore, when the Yanzhou army occupied the whole county of Wuling, he specially summoned all his subordinates to discuss the issue of his retreat.

Occupying Wuling can only be said to solve a problem now, but there is a more important problem, how to do this, Cao Cao knows that this must be discussed with everyone and solved together-

At this moment, Cao Cao was in the living room of the Taishou Mansion, and he was discussing the issue of his own retreat with his subordinates. There is no need to worry about it, and they can speak freely, but even so, everyone was silent before.

After all, this matter is not a trivial matter, so let everyone say it, and everyone really dare not slack off, so they have been thinking about what to do. They already knew about this, after all, at that time, Xu Huang and Man Chong returned to Wuling with the remnants of the army, didn't they know about it. And many people have already thought about it, some have some ideas, and some have not come up with anything.

And in the end, it was almost exactly the same as Sun Ce and Liu Bei expected, most of the generals under Cao Cao's Yanzhou army still agreed to go north to attack Nanyang, as long as they occupied Xiangyang, then they would open up their own retreat, which was not a way.

But Cao Cao shook his head after hearing this, this is not impossible, but in his opinion, this is really the last way to choose, if there is another good way, he will never choose this-

After listening to what several of his generals said, Cao Cao really didn't approve of it in his heart. So in the end, he looked at his two major strategists, Xun You, Xun Gongda and Cheng Yu, Cheng Zhongde.

Cao Cao smiled: "Gongda, I don't know what you think." What should our army do now? ”

Xun You had long thought that his lord would inevitably ask him to speak. To say that in fact, from the day when he announced that he and Cheng Yu had been defeated, he had already thought of this day. And I also thought about how to be the best policy, which is the most important thing for my side to do.

So after hearing Cao Cao ask him. Xun You said: "My lord, now going north to attack Nanjun is indeed a way. But for our army. But it is also very difficult, and the loss is definitely not less. ”

After everyone listened to Xun You's words, many people couldn't help nodding. Actually, this one, really. There are a few people who don't know. It's just that for those generals, in the current situation, if they don't attack and fight a bloody way, won't they be cowardly? ――

So almost all of them said that they would go north, attack Nanjun, and forcibly take Xiangyang. Even if they all know that their lord doesn't agree with their mention so much, he still said it before.

And Cao Cao listened to Xun You's words. He hurriedly asked: "Then I don't know what Gongda means, what is going to happen to our army now?" ”

Xun You smiled. He spit out two words, "Peace talks!" ”

As a result, his words and two words made the room uncalm again, and everyone in the living room, after hearing these two words, was indeed difficult to calm down.

What are peace talks? That's generally not enough to beat people to seek peace, so it's a peace talk, and now you haven't reached the point where the mountains and rivers are exhausted, so as for going to peace talks with Sun and Liu's coalition army?

Cao Cao saw that everyone in the room was not quiet, he was busy waving his hand, "Everyone be quiet!" ”

Sure enough, Cao Cao said a word, and everyone was silent, Cao Cao, who was the lord. It's really still very powerful.

After everyone quieted down, Cao Cao said: "Gongda, I don't know what you mean by talking about this peace talk?" ”

Of course, he will not think the same as everyone else, but Cao Cao thinks that there are still many articles in the peace talks that Xun You said. It's just that he didn't say it carefully before, so let's ask it myself, it's all as it should be.

"Lord, everyone, although our army has occupied Wuling now, I have to say that our army still does not have an advantage compared to the Sun and Liu coalition army!"

Everyone has to admit this, facts are facts. Even if the other side has captured Wuling now, isn't the problem of retreat still unsolved. So it's not bad to say that you still don't have an advantage. The Sun and Liu coalition forces have an advantage, but they are much stronger than their own.

Then this peace talk is very necessary. At least there is no need to go head-to-head with the Sun-Liu coalition army, and it can also solve the problem of our army's retreat. ”――

After listening to Xun You's words, everyone also thought that what he said made sense. Just said how to go to the peace talks, but he hasn't said this yet.

So at this time, someone asked, and it was Xu Huang who asked, and it can be said that he really cares about this matter, even if he is not the main general responsible for guarding Xiangyang.

"Dare to ask Mr. how our army wants to negotiate peace, please make it clear!"

Xu Huang also asked everyone's heart, Xun You still smiled when he heard it, and then said to everyone in the room: "Lord, the intention of the subordinates is to take the initiative to go to Nanjun to negotiate with Sun Bofu and Liu Xuande, and strive for the best alliance, even if it can't be so, "and seek second", our army also has to strive to negotiate with the two, our army's retreat problem!" ”

Xun You's words really surprised Cao Cao and the others. To tell you the truth, when he said that the peace talks, everyone was not much surprised, but when it came to the alliance, they were indeed surprised.

Do you want to form an alliance with the Sun-Liu coalition? Form an alliance with Sun Bofu and Liu Xuande?

To tell the truth, everyone is interested in Sun Ce. There wasn't much of a reaction, after all, he didn't know much about him. And indeed, they and Sun Ce. There is almost no dealing, don't look at the fact that the territory of the two sides is adjacent, but really, there has not been too much conflict until now. Of course, there is a war, and this is true, but it really hasn't been fought too much, and this is not false.

But another person. Liu Bei, the uncle of the Han Emperor, Liu Xuande, can be said to be in the house, almost everyone. I've seen them all, and I've dealt with them all. Especially Cao Cao, that is even more hated to Liu Bei. In his own words. Even if it was Liu Bei and Liu Xuande, he turned into ashes. I also know him.

And there are a few people in the world who don't know, Liu Bei and his own grievances, it can be said that he and himself are enemies of each other, but now Xun You said that let himself and the enemy form an alliance, this is indeed not acceptable to them-

Even if they go to peace talks, they are not unacceptable. can talk about forming an alliance with Liu Bei, this matter. That's not quite acceptable. After all, Liu Bei is their great enemy, so how can he form an alliance with his own enemy?

Sure enough, even Cao Cao frowned slightly, but he didn't say anything yet, but Xu Huang spoke first, "Sir, then Liu Xuande is the great enemy of our army, so how can he form an alliance with his people?" ”

As soon as Xu Huang finished speaking, several people immediately echoed below, "Yes, Gongming is right!" ”

"That's right, that big-eared Liu Bei, how can our army ally with him?"

"Humph! What is the emperor uncle of the Han Dynasty, only he Liu Xuande bowed to our army, don't want our army to bow to him. Don't say it's an alliance, it's just a peace talk, I think it's all over! ”

……――

This is definitely more than two or three sentences, at least Xun You has heard five or six sentences in a while.

And at this time, he couldn't help but smile bitterly a few times in his heart, and said that he knew it, and when he said this, the result is like this. But is there a better way to do it now? At least I didn't come up with anything, and I still think about Zhongde.

Liu Bei is his own enemy, or a great enemy, and both sides have great hatred, whether it is him or himself, he knows this.

But even so, it did not prevent his side from forming an alliance with him. The reason why I say this is because the saying is so good, "There are no eternal friends and enemies, only eternal interests". Now that he Sun Bofu and Liu Xuande have come together because of interests, it may not be that one day, the two will still turn against each other because of interests. It's not impossible, it's still very possible, maybe today, the two of them are still allies, but tomorrow, maybe it's hostility, and there's nothing that can't happen.

So in the same way, the grudge between Liu Bei and Liu Xuande and himself can be said to be unsolvable. But even so, it doesn't necessarily mean that you can't form an alliance with it. At least just like Sun Bofu and him Liu Xuande, for the sake of interests, he and him Liu Xuande may not be able to form an alliance. As for the issue of face, if there is no way to go back, then what is the use of face. There's no more lining, who cares if it's faceless.

At this time, I saw Xun You shaking his head, and then said: "General Gongming, everyone, I also know your thoughts, but you might as well think about it, now that our army is in this situation, what is more important than our army's retreat." Is it the land of Jingzhou, or is it something else? ”

Xun You said it directly, which means that it is already like this at this time, what do you still want. What is more important than your own retreat, so for this, even if you bow your head to Liu Bei, what can you do. It's just temporary, and it doesn't mean it will always be like this, does it? ――

To say that in Xun You's heart, he is really worried. What he is worried about now is not his own retreat, but the eyes of his own people.

If they can only see that Liu Bei is their enemy, then their own development will not be very fast, but it will not be bad if they do not regress. But if they can see the long-term and see the most important things, then they will make great progress, and it is not necessarily that they will improve a lot.

Of course, the final decision on this matter is still with your own lord, and your lord's thoughts are the most important. However, everyone's attitude, Xun Yu also attaches great importance to him. He really wanted to take a good look at how these people on his side were, and how many people could really take a long-term view, instead of just seeing the hatred with Liu Xuande.

In Xun You's opinion, finding a way out for his own side, isn't it worth putting aside his hatred for Liu Bei for the time being. If you can't even see this, then it's really, too disappointing. However, Xun You believes that everyone should not let themselves down in the end. (To be continued......)
