After Chun Yuqiong was beheaded, how long did the defenders of Jingcheng Neiguan hold out under the frantic attack of the Bingzhou army. Wen Chou, who was originally arranged by Chun Yuqiong on the city wall of the pass, did not know where to go after Xiang Ao broke through the inner pass, maybe he fled first when he saw that the situation was wrong. Xiang Ao, who was slightly tired, ordered the army to clean up the battlefield and occupy the passes inside and outside the well. In this way, Xiang Ao's three-way army approached Jizhou with a state of encirclement.

The situation has been completed, Xiang Ao ordered the whole line to increase the attack on Jizhou, but did not actually take too many territories in Jizhou, so as to force the family to take out the elite of the family and rush to the front line to fight against the Bingzhou army. The entire family in Jizhou was investigated by Xiang Ao clearly, for those who were stubborn or only knew to consider the interests of the family, as long as they saw it on the front line, the generals of Jizhou did not have the slightest intention of persuading them to surrender, and they were killed in front of the battle one by one.

In this way, in the eyes of the outside world, Jizhou and Jizhou seem to be a stalemate for two years. Yuan Shao's soldiers and horses stubbornly defended Changshan Gaoyi City (more than 200 miles south of present-day Shijiazhuang, Hebei), Xiaquyang of Julu County (about 300 miles east of present-day Shijiazhuang, Hebei), Anzhongshan Guo'an Guocheng (now dozens of miles east of Anguo City, Baoding, Hebei), Raoyang City of Anping State (now Hengshui City, Hebei), Xindu to Xiuxian County, Bohai County (dozens of miles south of present-day Hengshui City, Hebei) and Leling City (now Leling City, Shandong Province) of Qingzhou Plain County.

Perhaps in the eyes of the other princes, although Yuan Shao is weak, it seems that he can also be equal to Xiang Ao's army. But Yuan Shao, who was in the midst of the battle, knew by himself how fierce Xiang Ao's offensive momentum was, and he hardly gave himself a chance to breathe.

The war in the area of Xiaquyang was commanded by Xiang Ao himself, sitting in Zhending City of Changshan State, and the army was stationed in Gengxiang Township, Luancheng (now the area of Zhao County in the southeast of Shijiazhuang). Within two years, Gao Shun also saw that the army advanced to Hanchang City in Zhongshan State (now Nanxingyi Town, Dingzhou City, Hebei Province), and at the same time occupied Liwu County, which bordered Anguo, and had mutual gains and losses with the defenders Xin Ping and Xin Bi brothers in Anguo.

Tianyu achieved the greatest success, almost bringing the two large counties of Jizhou, Hejian State and Bohai County, under Xiang Ao's rule. At the same time, the army of Chen Bing was on the front line of Yangxin (north of present-day Yangxin, Shandong) and overlapping (between present-day Leling and Ningjin, Shandong) to threaten the hinterland of Yuan Shao. Zhao Yun also led the main force of the former garrison troops in Yi County, and occupied the Lecheng of Hejian Guozhi (now Wangliang Township, Dengzhou City, Henan).

As a result, in addition to Wei County, which had been occupied by the Yellow Turban Army, Yuan Shao at this time only had the four counties of Jizhou Zhaoguo, Julu, Anping and Qinghe and most of Qingzhou. If it weren't for Yuan Shao's alliance with Cao Cao in the past, I'm afraid that Cao Cao, who was about to move in the south, would have sent troops to Qingzhou to carve up Yuan Shao's forces. Cao Cao also wrote to Yuan Shao several times, asking if Yuan Shao needed to send troops to help defend against Xiang Ao. But Yuan Shao was already a frightened bird at this time, and he didn't believe that any force would really help him, and he didn't accept Cao Cao's kindness.

"Yuan Shao's defeat is inevitable, and the main prince is the key to thinking about how to deal with Xiang Ao in advance!" Guo Jia no longer had the casualness of the past, and solemnly looked at the map in front of Cao Cao to remind Cao Cao.

When Cao Cao heard this, his expression also looked a little solemn and said: "What Feng Xiao said is extremely true. Xiang Ao is the hero of the world, and his subordinates are not less than me, plus the merger and fertile Jizhou that have been in business for many years, if Xiang Ao takes Yuan Shao, he will become the enemy of Wenwu's life. ”

"It is inevitable that Xiang Gong will take Jizhou!" Guo Jia sighed lightly and said: "Two years, since it is enough for the lord to integrate Xuzhou, why can't that Duke Xiang defeat Yuan Shao and take Jizhou?" Could it be that the lord really thinks that Xiang Gong's enemy is nothing but Yuan Shao? ”

When Cao Cao heard this, his face sank again and asked, "It's not that Xiang Ao can't take Jizhou?" Why? ”

"Lord, look!" Guo Jia pointed to the area of the giant deer on the map and said: "From Bingzhou to Jizhou, as long as you cross Zhongshan Country and Changshan Country, it is a plain land of Pingchuan. Under the command of Xiang Gong of Bingzhou, whether it is the feather killing battalion outside the Weizhen Sai, or the white horse righteous servant left by Gongsun Zan in the past, they are all the elite of the cavalry, not to mention Xiang Ao's other troops. If Jia is in the annex state, he will definitely suggest that Xiang Gong use the maneuver of cavalry to take Jizhou as soon as possible. ”

"Even if he didn't take Zhongshan and Changshan, if Xiang Gong wanted to defeat Yuan Shao with a thunderous force, he could also make a detour to Daijun and Zhuojun to introduce the cavalry that Bingzhou was proud of into Jizhou. When I think about it, that's two years. Guo Jia raised his head and looked at the northwest direction and the state, his eyes flickering.

On weekdays, although Cao Cao and Guo Jia, Xun Yu and others have discussed strategies for merging states, Guo Jia has never looked as worried as today, which made Cao Cao begin to seriously consider Xiang Ao's problem.

"Why is Xiang Ao like this?"

When Guo Jia heard this, he retracted his wishful gaze and continued: "Jia Si has been asking for a long time, and yesterday I looked at the information handed over by the front line, and I realized a little! Guo Jia said, not only Cao Cao, but even the old ministers such as Xun Yu, Cheng Yu, and Xun Yu around Cao Cao, even Chen Qi and Chen Deng, who were newly invested in Xuzhou, also opened their ears and listened carefully.

"Compared with the lord, the disadvantage of Xiang Ao is the problem of the family." Guo Jia changed his honorific title for Xiang Ao, and called him by his name to express his importance to Xiang Ao and said: "Xiang Ao not only dares to speak, but also dares to do." The state decree was more biased towards the people, causing Xiang Ao to inadvertently offend many families. In addition, when the family expressed its rebellion, Xiang Ao's decisiveness and ruthlessness made the family unable to set off waves in the territory of Bingzhou. ”

Guo Jia said, unconsciously glancing at Xun Yu, Chen Qi and others. Xun Yu's performance was good, and he seemed extremely indifferent. However, the family represented by Chen Qi had an ugly face.

"Since Xiang Ao has chosen a different path from most princes, the family that stands in front of Xiang Ao is Xiang Ao's great enemy. Jizhou is similar to Yingchuan and Runan, and there are many families involved. If Xiang Ao Xiang Ao used a set of decrees from the former annexation of the state, it would inevitably lead to a collective rebellion by the family. In this way, Xiang Ao will not plan to take Jizhou into his pocket as soon as possible. After all, it is much more convenient to solve the problem of the family under Yuan Shao's influence than to solve it after the family has put into service! ”

"What does Feng Xiao mean is that Xiang Ao took the opportunity of confronting Yuan Shao's two armies to eliminate the family?" Xun You was taken aback, unable to suppress the shock and exclamation in his heart.

"It's not like it's going to be wiped out." Guo Jia still kept his head calm and continued: "From Shangqin to the present, where is there no family figure? Even if it is the royal Liu family, isn't it also a member of the family? Xiang Ao: It is impossible for Xiang Ao to completely eliminate the influence of the family on the world. ”

Xun Yu nodded approvingly, and said in a very solemn manner: "What Feng Xiao said is true. The world is alive

Family, whether it is children or interests, is very involved. If it is a big fight against a family, it will inevitably cause a backlash from the entire world. ”

"Yes, too!" Guo Jia nodded lightly at Xun Yu and continued: "In this case, if Xiang Ao wants to capture Jizhou, he must solve the intertwined family problems in Jizhou. Judging from Xiang Ao's actions in the past, as long as the family does not obey Xiang Ao's decree, Xiang Ao will decisively try to solve the population of the family and fundamentally eliminate the influence of the family on Xiang Ao's own forces. ”

"Piff! Demon! The elderly Chen Qi slapped a few people in front of him, and coughed a few times angrily. Seeing this, Cao Cao frowned, but he did not show his displeasure.

"The children of the family are shepherds, following the guidance of the saints and shepherding the people of the world." Chen Qi's face turned red and he shouted: "Xiang Ao is so ignorant of the people, let the people as his own shield, and fight against the family, this is against the sky!" ”

"Lord!" Chen Jue roared, and solemnly persuaded Cao Gongyi: "Please ally with Yuan Shao, send troops quickly, and recruit Xiang Ao." ”

Chen Jue, the word Hanyu. A native of Xiapi, Xuzhou (now northwest of Suining, Jiangsu), the grandson of Chen Kang of Guanghan Taishou, the nephew of Taiwei Chen Qiu, the brother of Chen Yu (a Chen Li) and Ruyin Taishou Chen Cong, and the father of Chen Deng and Chen Ying. Originally, it was the Pei Xiang of Pei Guo under the rule of Tao Qian in Xuzhou. After Cao Cao took Xuzhou, he always regarded himself as one of the top strategists under Cao Cao, and rarely looked at people's faces.

In addition, Chen Qi was born in a famous family, and Yuan Shu and Yuan Shao are all descendants of the Gong family, and they have had a friendship since childhood, and they can be regarded as Yuan's students. As for whether Cao Cao was satisfied with himself or not, Chen Jue didn't think about it. In Chen Qi's view, if Cao Cao wants to gain a foothold in Xuzhou, he must have the support of his own leading family, otherwise Cao Cao is just a bare-bones general.

"Han Yu doesn't need to be in a hurry!" Cao Cao pressed his hand, signaled Chen Qi to be calm, and said with great distress: "I have written to Yuan Shao many times, planning to send troops to help, but Yuan Shao seems to be... Hey..."

"I also ask the lord to write to Yuan Shao again to clarify the stakes." Chen Qi made another gesture and continued: "If Xiang Ao is allowed to take Jizhou and occupy the land of Hebei, the lord will bear the brunt. Even if the lord can resist Xiang Ao north of the Yellow River, but with Xiang Ao in the future, how will the lord and other princes compete in the Central Plains in the future? ”

Although Brother Han Yu is starting from the interests of the family, if he really lets Xiang Ao dominate Hebei, I'm afraid... Cheng Yu, who was originally silent on the side, thought so, and suddenly stood up and said to Cao Operation: "Lord, what Pei Xiang said is very true. The land of Hebei is already rich and populous, and as long as it is properly governed, the war potential is almost the first of any state in the world. Since Guo Xijiu clearly said that Yuan Shao can't last this year, the lord still has to help each other. ”

In Cao Cao's own opinion, although Xiang Ao was the biggest threat, Cao Cao thought that if he could drive Liu Bei out of Yuzhou and then take Sun Jian's Yangzhou, even if Xiang Ao occupied the land of Hebei, Cao Cao could fight against Xiang Ao, and this was also the best time to take Qingzhou.

Guo Jia, who is a military advisor, of course knows what his lord thinks, but considering the current situation in Jizhou, Guo Jia still stood up and said to Cao Operation: "Lord, write to Yuan Shao again and send troops to help." ”
