Tongguan, Yuan Shu, who was supposed to lead the army westward to take the pass in Liu Bei's eyes, disappeared at this time, and Huang Zhong's 50,000 army and Gao Shun's trapped camp and Dian Wei Ma Chao also disappeared, leaving only Fa Zheng and Pan Feng stationed here to prepare for westward expansion.

Yuan Shu quickly returned to Xiliang and directly took Jia Xu, Guo Jia and Xun You from Yizhou to Jiangdong with three think tanks. The luxurious carriage under the heavy escort galloped on the flat official road, and four figures were sitting at the table inside the carriage.

"At this time, Liu Bei should have returned to Yuzhou." Yuan Shu touched a card, frowned slightly, and casually threw a red middle on the table, saying casually.

Guo Jia, who was opposite Yuan Shu, smiled at the corner of his mouth, gently pushed the two red cards from the cards in front of him, took the red middle that Yuan Shu threw out, put it in a row to the right, and played a three: "If it is a starry night, it should be there, it is estimated that Liu Bei will be tired." ”

Guo Jia's Jia Xu pushed down the two or four in front of him, ate Guo Jia's three, and then quietly played a five-cake sheet: "Liu Bei started from the end of the micro and has a tough personality, he can still bear this hardship, according to his character, it is estimated that he will not wait for a break, and he will send troops tomorrow." ”

Yuan Shu looked at the five cakes that Jia Xu had beaten, and happily pushed down the four or six cakes in front of him: "No matter how much he tosses, he is just a pawn of mine, now it depends on how much threat this pawn can pose to Cao Mengde." I've listened to the cards, Wenhe, don't deliberately let me and shoot me! ”

"My lord, Xu didn't deliberately give in, but it just happened. Liu Bei is also a hero, but he still has to guard against it, lest he jump off the wall in a hurry. Jia Xu said lightly.

Xun You casually punched out a sheet of five cakes, and said in an indifferent tone: "There is a towering iron wall on our side, and Cao Cao's side is a low earth wall. ”

Guo Jia glanced at Jia Xu lightly, pushed down the two five cakes in front of him, and selectively ignored Yuan Shu's white eyes: "No one wants to be calculated by others, if you do too much, I am afraid that Liu Bei will do something unexpected under his anger." ”

Jia Xu unhurriedly typed out a seven: "As soon as this matter passes, we will lay the overall situation." When Liu Bei is down, no matter how much he tosses, he can't turn over, but it is still beneficial to us, Fengxiao, you think too much. ”

Guo Jia said lightly: "Touch!" He casually typed out a sheet of 50,000 yuan, and muttered in his mouth: "Yuan Benchu is not a simple character, if Liu Bei is too indignant against us and defects to him in desperation, it will still be very troublesome." ”

After Jia Xu touched a card, he chuckled: "When the general trend is decided, what can Yuan Cao and Liu Lu do when they come together?" The absolute difference in strength is not something that a few fierce generals and strategists can save, after all, you and I are not fools. ”

Playing a card in front of him, Jia Xu got up and went to the side to prepare to make a pot of tea. Just when he was putting the tea leaves, an excited voice suddenly came from behind: "Self-touching!" I'm! ”

Jia Xu slowly brewed the tea without care, brought it to the side of the mahjong table, and chuckled at the corner of his mouth: "My lord, your luck today is really good!" ”

Yuan Shu shuffled the cards excitedly, and said happily: "That is, Liu Xuande and Lu Fengxian entered the palace at the same time, and today's luck is really good." By the way, you didn't mean to let me this time, did you? ”

Guo Jia, Xun You, and Jia Xu shook their heads one after another.

Yuan Shu snorted lightly and said, "Don't let me!" Playing cards must be fair and just, and I am not someone who cannot afford to lose. ”

The corners of Guo Jia's mouth twitched, and he said speechlessly: Can you afford to lose? I don't know who it was before, and after losing too many times, I was unhappy and canceled my three-month vacation for three months. You must know that Guo Jia and the three of them are all top strategists, not to mention that they are like Zhang Song, it is still easy to remember the location of a few mahjong tiles, how can Yuan Shu play normally?

Facing Yuan Shu, the lord who obviously couldn't afford to lose but was holding on, Guo Jia and the three of them could only accompany the prince to study, and used their mental power to quietly arrange for Yuan Shu to win more and lose less.

Yuan Shu also knew it in his heart, but he just liked to win, so he kept pretending to be confused, and tossed his three right-hand men to play with him out of boredom.

Jia Xu poured two cups of tea, handed one to Xun You, and held one to his mouth and took a sip gently. On the other side, Guo Jia casually picked up the gourd on his waist and poured a few sips of wine, his face was slightly red, and his eyes were confused. Yuan Shu also picked up the coconut water that had been prepared and sucked it gently with a wooden straw.

"The year ahead is going to be eventful!" Guo Jia, who exuded the smell of alcohol, sighed with emotion: "Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zhan, Cao Cao and Lu Bu, Liu Bei and Cao Cao, us and Liu Bei, the whole world is going to be a pot of porridge." ”

"Sitting in Jiangdong, according to Jingxiang, pressing Jiaozhou, attacking Yizhou, fighting Liangzhou, capturing Guanzhong, going around a big circle, and now I am finally going back to the Central Plains." Yuan Shu was also full of emotion. After becoming Yuan, he took a completely different development route from Yuan Shu in history, giving up the rich Yuzhou to start from Yangzhou, and now he has played a circle, and finally wants to fight back.

"The family in Yuzhou has some ideas now? Liu Bei is in such a situation now, presumably they can't sit still! Yuan Shu asked.

"Naturally, seeing that Liu Bei can't do anything, that group of old guys in the family will definitely not sit still." Guo Jia said sarcastically.

Xun You sighed lightly when he heard this, he was a member of the family, and he didn't know what to say about Guo Jia's comments. Guo Jia is right, the family is basically the supremacy of family interests, which cannot be changed.

"Liu Bei's defeat in the First Battle of Chang'an and Cao Cao's actions afterwards have made many Yuzhou families lose confidence in them, and if we send troops, most of these people will probably turn against each other." Xun You said calmly.

"In fact, if the lord sends troops in many ways, it will not be difficult to take the Central Plains directly. After all, after a series of battles, Cao Liu's troop losses are definitely not small, and we can completely fight in one battle. Guo Jia suggested.

Yuan Shu pondered for a moment and said in a low voice: "It's not impossible, this is indeed a great time." However, if we press too hard as soon as we come up, Cao Cao will definitely give up the capture of Qingzhou and choose to unite with Liu Bei again, and Liu Bei will probably turn to attack our army with Cao Cao, which will not be good. Or take Yuzhou first, and then see how Liu Bei and Cao Cao can fight, if the battle is fierce, we will take the opportunity to directly sweep Yanxu Erzhou, if both of them have some restraint, then then we will discuss it later. ”
