Chapter 388, retreat as advance
Cao Cao was in a good mood, he didn't care about washing, he hurriedly gathered all the civil and military together, and after everyone arrived, Cao Cao hurriedly announced the good news in public, and everyone was happy after hearing it.
Xiahoudun stood up even more excitedly, slammed his fists together, and laughed, "Lord, this is a God-given opportunity, we just sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, and when they are both defeated, don't let go of any of them, it's best to take Xuzhou and Jizhou over." ”
Cheng Yu squinted his eyes, his slender eyes almost narrowed into a slit, at first glance, it would make people have an illusion, and he thought he was asleep, Guo Jia was also silent, a pair of black and bright eyes, with a wise and uninhibited light, swept over everyone one by one, it seemed that Guo Jia was showing everyone a look, everyone, any change in expression on his face, he watched it with relish.
Cheng Yu and Guo Jia, one of the old monks settled down, and the other seemed to stay out of the matter, Cao Cao was puzzled, and hurriedly looked at Cheng Yu and asked, "Zhongde, are you unhappy, don't you say, Yuan Shao is just bluffing, can't this battle be fought?" ”
As soon as Cao Cao's words came out, the laughter of Xiahoudun and the others suddenly stopped abruptly, this question was like a basin of cold water.
Xiahoudun shook his head, "Lord, no, Yuan Shao has already asked Yan Liangwen to raise troops, how can he not fight." ”
Cheng Yumeng's eyes widened, and he said with a worried face, "Beside Yuan Shao and Lu Zhuo, there is no shortage of capable people and wise men, what we think of, they can also think of it, can it be said that they don't know, we are watching from the sidelines?" ”
Xiahoudun retorted, "What can this be, is it that the arrow is on the string, and Yuan Shao can lead but not trigger?" ”
Cheng Yu replied, "Fight, it will definitely be fought, but the thunder is loud and the rain is small, if Yuan Shao is smooth sailing, it is fine, if he suffers and is stubbornly stopped by Lu Zhuo, this battle may fall into a stalemate at any time, and even the two sides will stop and make peace." ”
Guo Jiashu stretched comfortably, nodded, and echoed, "What Zhongde said is very true, what we have to do is not to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, but to take the initiative to retreat, so that the two of them can have no scruples and give it a go." ”
"Retreat?"
This word made Cao Cao very puzzled, and he hurriedly asked, "Fengxiao, what do you mean by this, do you want me to let Yanzhou out in order to make them happy?" ”
Who knows, Cao Cao was originally a joke, but Guo Jia nodded, "The lord is wise, Jia Zheng has this intention." ”
Everyone was stunned, and Cao Cao's eyes widened. He believes that Guo Jia will not joke about it for no reason.
Guo Jia explained, "Lord, Lu Zhuo and Yuan Shao, it is rare to sharpen the knife Huohuo, a big war is inevitable, at this time, we take retreat as advance, it is not a clever plan, everyone, and listen to me one by one, first of all, we continue to stay in Yanzhou, Yuan Shao and Lu Zhuo, must be afraid, this battle is easy to end in a hurry, and once the two of them truce, for us in the gap between Jizhou and Xuzhou, the situation will only be worse; Second, when I say retreat, I don't really retreat, but retreat as advance. ”
Seeing that everyone was still puzzled, Guo Jia turned his head to look at Cao Cao, "Lord, but remember, I said before that let Liu Bei beat Yuan Shao, no matter whether he can win or not, we will benefit." Now, it is our God-given opportunity to reap the fruits of victory. ”
As he spoke, Guo Jia stood up, walked to the shadow wall, stretched out his slender and white fingers, and pointed at Luoyang, "Next, let's retreat to Luoyang, occupy Luoyang first, and then take Guanzhong, just Ma Teng, a battle can be decided!" ”
"This ......"
Xiahoudun shook his head and said, "Military advisor, don't forget, now Luoyang is still in Liu Bei's hands, even if he is willing to obey the lord's orders, he will never be willing to give Luoyang to us, besides, Ma Teng's soldiers are full of food, and there are no less than tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, and they are all Xiliang and strong, how can a battle be decided?" Strategist, don't laugh. ”
Guo Jia smiled, a mysterious smile appeared on his face, and he said lightly, "It's man-made!" ”
Sure enough, within a few days, Ma Teng sent troops to cross Tongguan again, last time he took the initiative to avoid it, but this time, it was completely different.
Emperor Xian is no longer in Luoyang, and he no longer needs any moral excuse to send troops to Luoyang, King Qin? Qingjun side? These are not needed, not to mention, Liu Bei has just suffered a defeat in Jizhou, and there are few soldiers around him, so he can't stop Xiliang's Bingfeng at all.
In just two days, Hangu Pass was breached, and 100,000 Xiliang soldiers were like wolves and tigers, like a flood that opened the floodgates, broke through Hangu Pass, and went straight to Luoyang to kill the past.
Liu Bei was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, and hurriedly dispatched troops to defend Luoyang, while Cao Cao, who got the news, quietly prepared the team.
Cao Cao believed that Liu Bei would definitely ask him for help, and then Cao Cao would be able to send troops justifiably, and he would suddenly appear at the most opportune time to catch Ma Teng off guard.
Ma Teng besieged Luoyang for two days, Liu Bei couldn't resist at all, and hurriedly sent people to Yanzhou for help, and at this time, Cao Cao's army was unhurried to Luoyang.
On the fifth day, Luoyang City finally couldn't hold it, with a loud noise, Ma Teng led people to kill into the south gate, and the Xiliang soldiers were all like crazy beasts, killing people when they saw them, and rampage in the city.
Liu Bei was defeated and retreated, the casualties were very heavy, Zhang Fei desperately protected Liu Bei, and scolded at the same time, "This Cao Cao is really hateful, he actually didn't save us when he died, if I saw him, I would have to shoot him to death." ”
Zhang Fei has always been straightforward, whatever he thinks in his heart, he will say anything, since Guan Yu's 'death', Zhang Fei's temper has become more violent, and he wanted to send troops to Jizhou several times, but Liu Bei knew that Guan Yu was not dead, this truth, he still hasn't figured out how to explain it to Zhang Fei.
If he was told that Guan Yu was still alive, Zhang Fei would inevitably ask, "In that case, why didn't the second brother come to us quickly, and our three brothers could be reunited as soon as possible." ”
Liu Bei couldn't explain it at all, and he couldn't tell Zhang Fei, "I slept with your second sister-in-law, which chilled your second brother's heart, and he will never come back." ”
In that case, Zhang Fei is afraid that he will really be impressed by Liu Bei! Perhaps, I am also worried that Liu Bei will extend his clutches to Cai Yan.
Although when the three brothers were married, they said it well, they shared difficulties and blessings, but they did not say that when the eldest brother could enjoy the brother's woman casually, Liu Bei's approach not only made Guan Yu feel cold, but Zhang Fei also had to chill.
Cao Cao's soldiers and horses successfully passed through the Tiger Prison Pass, and then, Cao Cao suddenly divided his troops into two ways, Dian Wei and Xiahou Dun led people to Luoyang as the vanguard, and Li Dian Yu Ban led people to Hangu Pass quickly.
This time, Cao Cao wanted to let Ma Teng, and there was no return.
