Within Pei County, the soldiers and horses of the Xuzhou Army began to move.

At Guo Jia's strong request, the potters handed over all the powers to formulate strategies and command and deploy the whole army to Guo Jia.

It's just because Guo Jia told the potter that he wants to compete with that old friend of Liang Guo and try his skills.

It seems that Guo Jia recognizes the figure in Liang Guo very much.

On the fifth day after the eight county towns of Pei County were ravaged by Cao's army, the Jinling City side finally launched an operation.

The two lines of soldiers and horses led by Xu Huang and Tao Ji, a total of 10,000 elite soldiers, divided into two routes, each with 5,000 men and horses, began to march towards Suiyang City, the seat of Liang State.

As soon as the 10,000 Jinling army entered the territory of the Liang State, the scouts of the Cao army brought the news back to Xiahou Yuan.

Xiahou Yuan was startled when he heard this, he thought that the bluff plan would definitely suppress the Xuzhou army, so that they would step up their defense in Pei County, and they would not dare to act rashly.

Who would have thought that they would really dare to take the initiative and come over to test their own reality.

It seems that as Xun You said, the other party has seen through the true intention of his own "conquest of Xuzhou" this time.

This time I really underestimated the people of Xuzhou.

Xiahou Yuan was ordered by Cao Cao to sit in the Liang State and guard the east, he had 30,000 troops in Suiyang, and Xu Huang and Tao Ji had a total of 10,000 soldiers and horses to attack Xiayi and Mengxian in his territory.

Therefore, Xiahou Yuan immediately sent troops to attack Xu Huang and Tao Ji.

Just as he was ordering his troops, Xun You stopped Xiahou Yuan's action.

He calmly analyzed the current situation with Xiahou Yuan.

"Miaocai, the Jinling army dares to drive troops into the Liang State, it means that they have seen through the deep meaning that Cao Gong does not plan to attack Xuzhou for the time being, the Jinling army was damaged after the battle with Yuan Shu and the Xiliang army, but recently it has recruited Yan Baihu and Zhenrong's people, to coarse and refined, and then remove the water army, the number of horses should be about 40,000, plus Cao Bao's soldiers and horses, at least no less than 50,000, Xu Huang and Tao Ji's 10,000 horses and horses entered the Liang border to attack the two counties, if there is no accident, this is Guo Fengxiao's false move, the remaining 40,000 soldiers and horses in Pei County, Its target should be Suiyang, where we are, if Miaocai really goes to the rescue, then this city may not be saved. ”

Xiahou Yuan held his breath and said, "Could it be that the Xuzhou army will attack our county town without any action?" ”

Xun You smiled and said, "What's the panic, you just sent troops to raid the eight county towns of Renpei County a few days ago, and now they have only beaten you in two counties, you can't sit still?" This is too petty, and it is not the style of a general. ”

Xiahou Yuan thought for a while, and said, "But letting the Xuzhou army attack our county town in vain is too much!" ”

Xun You smiled and said: "It's not that you don't want you to send troops, this matter is easy, the 30,000 troops in our city, you leave 10,000 to be led by me to garrison Suiyang, and you will lead 20,000 soldiers to save the second county, but remember not to go far, let alone fight with Xu Huang and Tao Ji, you just need to go in the direction of Mengxian, drive the troops to a hundred miles away, and then suddenly turn around the peak of the army and return to Suiyang, and I will be in harmony with the inside and outside, and annihilate the Jinling army that came to attack Suiyang in one fell swoop, isn't it wonderful?" ”

When Xiahou Yuan heard this, he had an epiphany.

……

Xiahou Yuan immediately went out of the city to the rescue of Erxian County according to Xun You's strategy, while Xun You took the remaining soldiers and stationed in Suiyang, waiting for the Jinling army to come and attack the city.

That night, Xun You was in no hurry to sleep.

He calculated that after his main force left the city, with Guo Jia's wisdom, he would definitely let the main force come to attack Suiyang, the seat of Liang State.

When the time comes, he only needs to cooperate with Xiahou Yuan, who returned halfway, and naturally he can give Guo Fengxiao's kid a hard blow.

Regarding Guo Jia's defection to the potter, Xun You felt both pity and excitement.

After his uncle Xun Yu took refuge in Cao Cao, all the old friends of Yingchuan Academy basically joined Cao Cao under Xun Yu's pull, but Guo Jia didn't know what medicine he had taken wrong, so he went to Xuzhou to fool around, and gave a young boy with a weak crown to help, Xun Yu, Xun You, Zhong Xuan, Cheng Yu, Xi Zhicai and others are all regretful about this, and they are deeply angry that Guo Jia is indisputable!

But with the passage of time, the feelings shrouded in Xun You's heart gradually turned from regret to excitement.

Guo Jia is in this small group in Yingchuan, although he is known as a prodigal son, but he has always belonged to the category of extraordinary talents.

Unlike Xun Yu, Cheng Yu and others, Guo Jia's mind is full of jumping, deceitful, and eclectic all day long, and the ghost ideas in his chest make ordinary people unguardable.

In the past, while Xun You was envious of his agility, he also had a trace of jealousy.

Although they are friends, they still have the intention to compete with each other!

If it's really in the same camp, I'm afraid that it will never be able to compare.

And at this moment, for Xun You, it is a godsend opportunity to compare wisdom with Guo Jia.

The night was deep, but Xun You was not in a hurry to sleep, he sat in the quiet room with his book, drinking honey water, and was content.

What he was waiting for now was for the pottery merchant's Jinling army to come and attack Suiyang City, and then join forces with Xiahou Yuanli and defeat his forces in one fell swoop.

Guo Fengxiao, Guo Fengxiao, if you can't see this simple plan of yours, you will really be a student of Yingchuan in vain.

Just when Xun You was enjoying himself, there was a sound of footsteps outside the hall, and Chen Zhong, the military marquis under Xiahou Yuan, hurriedly ran in.

"Qi Qi military division, visit the Malay newspaper! The main force of the Jinling Army has appeared! ”

"Oh?" Xun You smiled and put down the slip in his hand, touched his beard and said with a smile: "The Jinling Army has appeared? Hehe, it's coming so fast! Sure enough, the soldiers are fast, they are here to attack Suiyang City? How do you make an army? ”

Chen Zhong said in a panic: "No! The scouts reported that the main force of Jinling City first came to Suiyang City, but later, it suddenly changed direction thirty miles away from Suiyang South and went west! ”

"West?" Xun You's brows furrowed, and he said suspiciously: "If the Jinling army doesn't come to Suiyang City, what will they do in the west?" ”

Chen Zhong shook his head and said, "My subordinates don't know ......."

There was an awkward silence in the chamber.

When he was young, he saw that Xun You's delicate eyes suddenly widened, and he was still calm, and a trace of panic suddenly rose on his face.

Guo Fengxiao...... Isn't he, he wants to fight with Xu Huang and Tao Ji in three ways, and wants to destroy Miaocai's main force of soldiers and horses? ”

Captain Chen Zhong heard Xun You say this, and suddenly opened his mouth dumbly.

"Army, military division! This? ”

Xun You took a deep breath and reached out to rub his temples to regain his composure.

The surname Guo is really not taking the usual road, and he has a hand.

Don't fight the city, fight the general?

You'll be able to play!

"Chen Zhong, you will quickly join Wang Zhi, Meng Tan and others, order all the soldiers in the city, follow me to save Xiahou Miaocai, and send people to transport the ordnance and grain in the city to Yu County in the starry night, and those who can transport it will be transported over, and those that cannot be transported will be burned on the spot, and they cannot be kept."

When Chen Zhong heard this, he couldn't help but be taken aback, and said: "Military advisor, the last general listens to what you mean, is this Suiyang City not going to be done?" ”

Xun You smiled self-deprecatingly, and said: "Accidentally, Guo Fengxiao calculated one more step, Xiahou Miaocai was designed by him to be a three-way attack, if I drive troops to save Xiahou Miaocai, it is useless to lead fewer soldiers, if I bring more troops, how can this Suiyang be conservative?" Guo Jia is forcing me to make a choice, whether I want a city or a soldier...... It doesn't matter if a city is lost, the generals and soldiers are the most important, I don't want this Suiyang City, I should give it to Guo Fengxiao, and buy a lesson from the prodigal son...... Don't say more, just do it! ”

After some hurried preparations, Xun You's 10,000 troops stationed in Suiyang City galloped in the direction of Mengxian County, and a small number of troops transferred the treasury assets in Suiyang City, and those that could not be transferred were immediately burned on the spot.

……

Sure enough, as Xun You expected, Xiahou Yuan drove his troops to save Meng County, and when he reached Baili, he immediately turned around and returned to Suiyang City, wanting to join forces with Xun Youli in the city and attack the Jinling army that wanted to attack the city.

It's a pity that Xun You mistook Guo Jia's goal, and the prodigal son's goal from the beginning was not the city, but Xiahou Yuan's new force.

When Xiahou Yuan traveled fifty miles away from Suiyang City, there was a report from the Malay, saying that Xu Huang and Tao Ji, who had attacked the two county seats, had given up the siege and killed their own generals from the rear.

Xiahou Yuan was already hot-tempered, and when he heard this, his anger suddenly jumped up.

Okay, I'm not going to look for you, but you take the initiative to find the general!

I'm going to pick you up today!
