Chapter 888: Deliberations in Fangling City (continued)
PS: Thanks to andrew1212 and I like the monthly pass of the two book friends
At this time, I heard Guan Yu say to Cao Cao, "Gong Cao, Guan is also in favor of returning to Jingzhou, but ......"
After listening to the first half of what Guan Yu said, everyone didn't feel anything, after all, it was the same as what most people said. But after listening to it, but ......, what does this mean? Everyone was a little puzzled, after all, Guan Yu's words, although they sounded agreeable, but there was still one thing, this meaning was about to change.
So at this time, everyone pricked up their ears and listened, what Guan Yu was going to say, but what, what did he mean. Although Guan Yu didn't finish speaking directly and didn't say everything he said, what he meant was nothing more than wanting to whet everyone's appetite, and now that he and others are also paying attention to what he said, in this way, his goal can be regarded as achieved.
As for Cao Cao, he also asked, "Yun Chang doesn't have to worry about anything, if you have anything to say, but it doesn't hurt to say it!" ”
When Guan Yu heard this, he smiled and said, "No! ”
When he saw everyone's expressions and Cao Cao's statement, he naturally didn't say it, but he really wanted to speak freely-
At this time, I heard Guan Yu say, "Gong Cao, everyone, Guan Mou also has to admit that most of you agree to return to Jingzhou, this is indeed the best plan for our army now!" ”
Guan Yu first agreed with all the people who agreed to return to the army, but he naturally had something to say later. So the crowd didn't do anything, but waited for him to continue to speak.
Sure enough, I only heard Guan Yu continue to speak. "However, although Guan does agree with what you said, he also hopes that our army will return to Jingzhou immediately so that we can compete for the interests of Jingzhou. However, you have not thought carefully about Zhang Ji Zhang Derong in Hanzhong, what kind of attitude he has towards our army, and now our army has captured Fangling. So what about Zhang Ji and them, how should they treat our army? ”
When everyone hears this, don't say it. They also had to admit that Guan Yu's words made sense. Yes, now your own army is in Hanzhong, and there is only one county in Hanzhong that is occupied by your own. But what about other places. Isn't it still the territory of the Liangzhou Army?
Everyone also had to admit that Zhang Ji had actually been ignored by them. Indeed, because of the war in Fangling, Zhang Ji sent a Wang Ping, and then there were only a few thousand Liangzhou troops, so I have to admit that everyone on his side ignored Zhang Ji. But I have to say how many Liangzhou troops there are in Hanzhong. If your intelligence is correct, 100,000 horses. That must be there. Yes, 100,000 horses, more than your own people now.
Even Cao Cao frowned, because he found that he seemed to ignore this problem. Yes, when I attacked Fangling before, I didn't think too much about it, I just thought that I could capture Fangling and knock on the gateway to the eastern part of Hanzhong, but I didn't expect that after the real victory of my own side, after capturing Fangling, Zhang Ji and what they wanted to do to their side.
At this time, Cao Cao said to everyone, "Everyone, after being reminded by Yun Chang, we have indeed ignored the Taishou of Hanzhong, Zhang Ji and Zhang Derong!" Now that we have captured Fangling, how will Zhang Ji react, what do you think? ”
The so-called is "knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent, and not being defeated in a hundred battles", if you can know Zhang Ji's thoughts, then it is indeed a great advantage for oneself, and there are many benefits-
When everyone heard this, they also thought a lot, because Zhang Ji's attitude is indeed very important to himself.
Cao Cao glanced at his two major strategists and said to Xun You, "Gongda, how will Zhang Ji and Zhang Derong deal with our army?" ”
When Xun You heard this, his lord asked him to say, to be honest, Xun You didn't think about how Zhang Derong would treat him now, but he thought simply, the so-called "soldiers come to block, water comes to cover" that is. However, after Guan Yu put it forward, Xun You thought about it carefully, if Zhang Ji really fought and pulled all the people and horses in Hanzhong to deal with him and come to Fangling, then the city he had just captured might not be able to be saved.
So Xun You said: "My lord, my subordinates think that Zhang Ji is nothing more than two attitudes towards our army. ”
Cao Cao nodded, "What does Gongda mean, would you like to hear it in detail?" ”
In fact, what Xun You wanted to say was very simple, and he also knew that his lord would not not understand, but his lord still said so, then his lord's meaning was obvious, that is, he wanted to use his own mouth to say what he wanted to say-
After knowing his lord's intentions, Xun You didn't dare to slack off, after all, with his understanding of his lord, what his lord asked him to do and let you say, you must obey, or the consequences, it would be really unimaginable.
So Xun You could only continue, "Lord, these two attitudes are naturally one, ignoring that our army occupies Fangling, how should they still be, after all, a Fangling really doesn't represent anything." Its county and its place, in the whole of Hanzhong, for the whole of Hanzhong, is indeed nothing, but for our army, it is of great significance, because it is the gateway to the eastern part of Hanzhong! ”
After hearing this, everyone couldn't help but nod, because Mr. Gongda's words were indeed reasonable, reasonable.
And after Cao Cao heard this, he asked directly, "What about the second?" ”
Cao Cao definitely asked knowingly, but he is the lord, does Xun You dare to say anything, can't and doesn't dare. And he has to follow his lord's wishes to go down, or you don't want to mix well? ——
"This is the second. Naturally, Zhang Jiqi sent troops to Fangling to fight with our army again! ”
Cao Cao nodded, and everyone understood. Yes, the first is that he ignored his own side, and the second is that he naturally will not ignore it, but directly send troops.
At this time, Cao Cao asked Xun You, "Gongda thinks that Zhang Derong is a person, what are the chances of doing this?" ”
Cao Cao had to pay attention to it, because he finally captured Fangling. But if he loses it again, can he be willing, anyway, for Cao Cao. This thing is absolutely intolerable, and he will definitely not be willing to do such a thing.
Xun Yu paused, and then highlighted two words from his mouth. "Seventy percent!"
Cao Cao and his subordinates listened. Seventy percent from what he Xun Yu Xun Gongda said from his mouth, then there must be at least eighty percent. After all, after so many years of contact, everyone still doesn't know what kind of person he Xun Yu Xun Gongda is. Although it can't be said that it is completely how to understand, it is certainly a lot of understanding, and this is certain.
So they all know that people like Xun You basically don't exaggerate when they speak, so he said that it was seventy percent. So the actual idea, he must think that it is more than seventy percent. That's why I say that-
After everyone heard Xun You's words, they were silent, they had to be silent, and they were all thinking about how to deal with the Liangzhou army coming to attack Fangling. After all, Xun You said that it was seventy percent, so in everyone's ears, this matter was basically settled, and it would not be wrong, so they all thought about how to deal with the coming Liangzhou army. After all, after listening to Xun You's words, they understood that if they really sent troops, they might send a few thousand people? Is that possible? At least tens of thousands, so ......
Now it's not careful, after all, the Liangzhou Army in Hanzhong can be said to be an absolutely strong enemy, so this ......
In the end, it was Cao Cao, the lord who spoke, "Then according to Gongda's intentions, what should our army do?" ”
Xun You smiled when he heard this, "Lord, of course, it is 'the soldiers come to block, and the water comes to cover the earth', as long as the lord leaves enough strength to guard the Imperial Tomb, then even if Zhang Derong and his people attack the army of the whole Hanzhong County, so what?" ”
Cao Cao and everyone heard it, yes, even if it was 100,000 Liangzhou troops, but so what? Many generals listened to a scribe's words, many of them were soldiers of faith, and they had ruled the world for so many years, but they were afraid of who would come, so the Liangzhou army came, so what, it was nothing more than sending troops to block it. If you can resist it, it's naturally good, even if you lose, as long as you do your best-
At this time, he saw that Cao Cao was afraid of the table, and said with a smile, "Hahaha!" Gongda's words are very much in line with my heart! Yes, even if all the Liangzhou troops in Hanzhong come out and come to Fangling, so what, so what! Hahaha! Haha ”
I have to say that even if it is difficult and dangerous, in the face of no matter how powerful the enemy is, Cao Cao's signature laughter will never disappear. And his subordinates also understand their lord very well, his lord has always been such a character, and nothing seems to change him. This is his own lord, this is Cao Cao Mengde, who was called by Xu Zijiang as "a capable minister who rules the world and a traitor in troubled times"!
And all the people under him were also infected by their own lord. In fact, think about it, this is indeed the case, isn't it, even if the Liangzhou Army comes, so what. If you can't stop it, then withdraw your troops, and if you lose, you'll be defeated, that's just it, what else is there. So for everyone at this time, it doesn't matter to them how Zhang wants to do it, the important thing is that they have to do what they can do-
However, it was Cao Cao who was the lord to decide what to do, so I heard him say at this time, "Everyone, I also feel that Zhang Derong will send troops to Fangling!" However, in this case, our army is by no means afraid of them anything, and still according to what we said before, we will immediately return to Jingzhou! ”
"No!"
Everyone agreed in unison, and they also knew that their lord was determined to leave with his troops, and it was immediate, indicating that he couldn't wait to rush back to Jingzhou, and Liu Xuande, Ma Mengqi, Sun Bofu and others went to fight for the land of Jingzhou.
As for Fangling, it really isn't a place where your army should stay. Why do you say that, because if Zhang wants to really send someone, if he hasn't left yet, or if he hasn't left directly, then he will have to fight them. In fact, whether it is Cao Cao or his subordinates, they don't want their own army and the Liangzhou army to face each other in Fangling, to be honest, they are not afraid of anything, but they will delay things, so they all agree with what Cao Cao said, that is, they can return to Jingzhou, which is better than anything else-
Everyone knew that there was nothing to say about their lord, after all, he just said that he was going back to Jingzhou at this time, but he didn't say who left and who stayed. Everyone knows that if his lord doesn't explain this, he will never leave with his troops.
Sure enough, Cao Cao saw that everyone showed a look of approval, and continued to listen to himself, he smiled and said to everyone, "Gongming! ”
"The last general!"
Xu Huang said directly, he knew in his heart, of course, everyone was not in vain, of course his lord would not call Xu Huang's name for no reason, this is to let him stay in the local area.
Cao Cao nodded at Xu Huang is head, "Gongming, lead 10,000 troops, stay in Fangling, and guard against Zhang Ji!" ”
"No! The last will live up to the trust of the Lord! ”
Xu Huang knew it in his heart, and everyone knew it in his heart. My lord has made a bloody investment this time, 10,000 horses, and he will defend such a Fangling city, what is this for, isn't it just that he is afraid that Fangling will be recaptured by the Liangzhou army. However, everyone still knew in their hearts that their lord really valued Xu Huang, otherwise he would not have let him stay with 10,000 horses to guard against the Liangzhou army.
After all, it was 10,000 men guarding the city, and he had never done this before. And seeing that his lord values Fang Ling so much, he knows how Lu Dao values Xu Huang. (To be continued......)
