Guo Jia continued: The lord will send someone to Donghai County to take over Donghai. Such as Yuan Jun resisted. Take first those who do not resist. Do not fight against Yuan's army for the time being. Guangling may be the first to be attacked. The lord will temporarily let Lu Bu occupy it.

The lord mainly took over the city of Xiapi Peng. And immediately recruit troops in these two places. At least 40,000 or 50,000 new recruits will be recruited to make up for the shortfall in this war.

In addition, please send an envoy to prepare for peace with Yuan Shao. and formed an alliance to fight against Zhang Jie.

However, there is no hurry to talk about peace, and it can be postponed for a month. The main thing is to recruit first. At present, Yanzhou and Yuzhou are empty, and Zhang Jie only needs tens of thousands of horses to enter the hinterland. It's dangerous!

Cao Cao said: Good! According to the words of filial piety.

It's just that if we make peace with Yuan Shao, what if Yuan Shao wants us to return Xiapi Pengcheng?

Guo Jiadao: That's why Jia only asked the lord to postpone a month and send people to make peace, that is, to recruit troops in these two places first. And then return it to Yuan Shao. The lord can give Xiapi to Yuan Shao, and only Pengcheng can be left. If Yuan Shao still doesn't agree, let him exchange it for food.

Grain exchange? Cao Cao thought for a while and said: Wonderful!

If the lord uses Xiapi, it is worth exchanging Pengcheng for hundreds of thousands of stone grain. If Yuan Shao agreed, the lord would transport the grain to Nanyang for storage. Guo Jiadao.

Cheng Yudao: Why do you want to ship to Nanyang? Yanzhou is also short of food!

Guo Jiadao: My lord, Jia told you last time, if the war in the Central Plains is unfavorable, the lord will definitely take Shangyong, Fangling, and then take Hanzhong to map Xichuan.

Zhang Jie had more than 100,000 cavalry, and the Central Plains was mostly flat. It's hard to beat. Only Yizhou could withstand the cavalry. If you get Yizhou, you can enter and exit the Qinling Mountains to try to pass the middle. You can retreat to defend the pass in order to protect yourself. And Nanyang is the frontier of the offensive mediocrity. So it's best to put the grain in Nanyang. Although Liu Biao has the heart to seize Nanyang. But he didn't have the guts.

Cheng Yudao: Isn't it a bit early to prepare now? We're not there yet! If you enter Yizhou, it may be difficult to return to the Central Plains!

Guo Jiadao: It's early, but you have to plan ahead. We've got to find a place to bury ourselves, right?

Cao Cao thought for a while and said: No matter what, Nanyang is also my territory, and it is not wrong to put more food. According to the words of filial piety.

Ladies and gentlemen, who wants to go to Yuan Shaona to say that he is in an alliance?

Cheng Yudao: Let the old man go this time!

Cao Cao said happily: Good! Since Zhongde has this intention. Then it's troublesome for Zhongde to run.

Promise!

And when Lu Bu received Pengcheng for Cao Cao to break, he immediately led his troops to Guangling, intending to seize Guangling, because Yuan Shao's main forces were in Pengcheng and Xiapi. So he is also competing with Cao Cao for time and taking advantage of the fire. And Liu Bei is the same. He was faster than Lu Bu, and when Pengcheng was not broken, he began to set off, taking nearly 5,000 people to the East China Sea, also taking advantage of Yuan Shao's main force. Let's take advantage of the fire.

Yecheng, the state governor's mansion, what do you say? Yuan Shaopeng's city was broken, and Cao's army lost half? Yuan Jun only escaped more than 10,000 people, and the rest all died? Zhang Jie asked.

Yes, my lord, according to our internal information in the Cao army, among the 100,000 people in the Cao army, nearly 40,000 were killed. There were more than 20,000 wounds. Now there are only more than 50,000 people in Cao's army to Xiapi. Yuan Shao had more than 20,000 horses in Xiapi. plus the remnants of the fleeing army, a total of more than 40,000 people, and Cao Cao is not much different. Judge the way.

So more than 100,000 people were killed and wounded on both sides of the battle in Pengcheng? How so? Cao Cao has a lot of strategists around him, he shouldn't be! Could it be that Cao Cao went crazy and attacked the city wall regardless of casualties? That's too amateurish! Zhang Jie asked.

I heard that Cao Cao was the master of the school to break Jixian County and break the city by digging down the city wall. But before the city wall fell, Yuan Shao had already prepared. Moreover, Cao Cao launched the siege at night. The two sides had a poor line of sight in the city, and the situation was unclear, so it became a war of attrition. As many people as you go up, you will basically die. It wasn't until dawn that I realized that the person who had gone in earlier was almost dead. But he can only continue to fight. Otherwise, all the work done will be wasted. Judge the way.

Zhang Jie said with a smile: Let Cao Cao be treacherous, but I didn't expect to drink Yuan Benchu's footwashing water this time. Hahahaha!

The judge also smiled: These methods of digging down the city wall can only be used once to hit the opponent by surprise, such as the pair of releases, the defender has a way to deal with it. Cao Mengdedong followed suit. How can there be no casualties? If we continue to fight like this, both sides will be exhausted if we fight again. We don't have to send troops, they'll all fight out.

No, no, no! Cao Cao is also very human, although Pengcheng is broken and suffered heavy casualties, he will immediately attack Xiapi, if Yuan Shao does not quickly evacuate Xiapi, there is a possibility of being drowned and captured alive. If Yuan Shao was captured, Xuzhou and Qingzhou would all be finished. Zhang Jie said.

Interrogator: Didn't the lord write to Yuan Shao to tell Cao Cao that Cao Cao would flood Pi?

Ay! Although admonished. But I don't know that Yuan Shaoshe is reluctant to give up! For example, Yuan Shao gave up Xiapi. The Yuan Cao War should be over. With such heavy casualties on both sides, Cao Cao was unable to attack Langya anymore. If you really want to attack Langya again, Langya can't attack with water, so that the two sides are a war of attrition, and Cao Cao will not be so stupid. His biggest concern now should be the southward movement of our army. If nothing else, they will soon form an alliance. Zhang Jie said remotely.

Interrogator: Can the two sides form an alliance like this? The skin is really thick.

Zhang Jie smiled: Yuan Shao, Cao Cao, are good friends. And then there is a strong enemy like me who threatens in the north. Originally, they all wanted to destroy each other, unify the Central Plains, and then fight a decisive battle with me. But now that they find that they can't destroy each other, then they have to join forces against me. After all, there are no eternal enemies, no eternal friends, only eternal interests. So their alliance is just a matter of taking advantage of the trend.

Lord, now that the main forces of Yuan Shao and Cao Cao are in Xuzhou, should we immediately send troops to attack Yanzhou? Hit them by surprise?

Zhang Jie looked away and said: It doesn't work, if we immediately order Hao Zhao of Liyang to send troops, we can take a few cities in Yanzhou first. But Hao Zhao only had more than 10,000 troops. How much land can you take?

We just fought Xianbei. The soldiers didn't rest well. Gao Ran, Wei Yan and others are all outside. At present, there are not many soldiers and horses in Yecheng. Gather forces now. Cao Cao and Yuan Shao will report the news immediately on the inner line of our army. Cao Cao and Yuan Shao, under the pressure of our army, will definitely cease fighting, so as to transfer the main force to the front line of the Yellow River.

Although both of them suffered heavy losses in the Battle of Pengcheng. But the two sides combined, they can still mobilize 100,000 horses to resist our army. There's nothing we can do about it for a while.

Judge: It seems that we can only wait for the new recruits to be recruited before sending troops.

It's just that it gives them time to recruit troops.

Yes, we need time, and they need it even more. But there's no way around it. In any case, we have a clear advantage. Whether they are allied or not, as long as we are steady, we can be invincible. If we press, they will be tight. If we don't put pressure on them, they will be at odds with each other.
