Pang Degong also persuaded from the side, "Don't worry, Zhou Yu is an understanding person, even if he withdraws, he will not reveal any secrets about the cold cicada, because Sun Ce can protect the Zhou family for a while, but he can't protect the Zhou family for a lifetime, and we will not pursue it if he withdraws, but once he betrays the cold cicada, no matter how powerful the Zhou family is, compared to the cold cicada, it is insignificant." ”

……

"It's really unreasonable, Cao Cao is so despicable, turning his face faster than turning a book."

Knowing that Cao Cao had raised troops, Zhao Yun didn't dare to slack off, and gathered the people around him early to discuss countermeasures.

Tai Shi Ci nodded, "Gongming is right, last year we also dealt with Cao Cao to deal with Yuan Shu, I didn't expect to turn around so quickly, colluding with foreign races, plotting against the Central Plains, look, I deducted a big crime for the lord, I really want to add to the crime, anyway, now that the Son of Heaven is in Cao Cao's hands, what he says is what it is, and we can't tell at all." ”

Lu Bu hated Cao Cao to the core, and after reading the text, his face was also blue with anger, and his steel teeth were gritting, "What is there to worry about, if he doesn't come, if he comes, we will kill his majesty, beat him a falling flower, whether he can go back, it is still unknown." ”

"Yes, the soldiers will block the water and cover the earth, there is nothing to worry about." Wu Anguo was also gearing up, with a desperate posture.

Zhao Yun nodded and asked, "Recently, how is the morale of the soldiers?" ”

"Although the lord is relieved, everyone is holding their breath, as long as Cao Cao and Yuan Shao dare to come, they will definitely regret it." Xu Huang replied angrily.

"That's good, pass on my order, assemble the whole army, and immediately increase troops to Hujiaoguan and Mengjin."

"No."

"In addition, copy a hundred copies of this text for me, and then send people to various places, Cao Cao wants to slander me, it's not so easy, the people's eyes are bright, the truth is in the hearts of the people, I don't believe that the people in the territory will believe his nonsense."

"No."

Cao Cao repeatedly claimed that Zhao Yun colluded with foreign races, but Zhao Yun not only pacified Wuhuan and Southern Xiongnu successively, but also made Wuhuan and Xiongnu wholeheartedly support Zhao Yun, Cao Cao's slander was simply untenable, and the more the matter spread, the more useless it was to Zhao Yun.

Jia Xu thought for a while and stood up, "Lord, Cao Cao is very good at using soldiers, no matter what he does, he will declare that he represents the holy will, and this time is naturally no exception, maybe Cao Cao has sent people to Hanzhong and Chang'an at this moment, Ma Teng, Han Sui, and Zhang Lu are all very likely to be bewitched by Cao Cao, and they must not be guarded against, the guards of Tongguan and Hangu Pass must not be relaxed, especially Tongguan." ”

Zhao Yun nodded, "Mr. is reasonable, in this way, Yuan Zhi, you have worked hard to raise 20,000 troops to reinforce Tongguan, and you must ensure that nothing goes wrong." ”

If it weren't for Cao Cao and Yuan Shao suddenly coming out like this, maybe Zhao Yun would have calmed down Ma Teng and Han Sui by now.

Fortunately, Zhao Yun occupies an absolute geographical advantage, even if Ma Teng, Han Sui, and Zhang Lu join forces, if they want to deal with Zhao Yun, they must first gnaw the two hard bones of Tongguan and Hangu Pass, Ma Teng and Han Sui have been fighting for so long, how can the new hatred and old hatred be so easy to dissolve.

What's more, Zhang Lu's younger brother Zhang Wei was killed by Han Sui's people, and the three families want to join forces, it's not that simple, if they don't fight by themselves, they will burn high incense.

"So, guys, what should we do next?"

Ma Teng, Han Sui, Zhang Lu, Zhao Yun didn't pay too much attention to it, Zhao Yun's eyes swept over everyone's faces one by one, "Is it to divide the army into two ways and fight at the same time?" Or do you concentrate your forces and deal with one of them first? ”

"Lord, we have a favorable geographical position, the Tiger Prison Pass is the first Xiongguan in the world, Mengjin Ferry, relying on the Yellow River, is also an insurmountable barrier, as long as we hold on to the danger, as soon as the time is long, Cao Cao and Yuan Shao will have the intention of retreating, and their alliance will be self-defeating." Tian Chou has always been cautious, and the method proposed is also the most secure.

"It's just a matter of sticking to it, how long will it take to drag it out?"

Xu Huang was the first to stand up, followed by Tai Shici and Lu Bu, and other generals also expressed their dissatisfaction, and Lu Bu even proposed to take the initiative to attack and directly fight Cao Cao and Yuan Shao.

Chen Gong turned his head to look at Jia Xu, and saw that he was squinting his eyes, his expression was very calm, Chen Gong opened his mouth and asked, "Wenhe, what do you think?" ”

"Don't talk about me yet, what about you??" Jia Xu asked rhetorically.

Chen Gong pointed his finger at Tian Chou, "I think the same as Zitai, Cao Cao and Yuan Shao have joined forces, and the number of troops is no less than 200,000, in comparison, we are still at a disadvantage. ”

Jia Xu nodded lightly, "This method is indeed good, but have you thought about it, why did Cao Cao and Yuan Shao suddenly join forces?" ”

Chen Gong shook his head, this question had always bothered him.

Jia Xu said, "Because they have felt threatened, we have easily taken Yanmen Pass and Yijing Tower before, in less than two days, we gathered 100,000 male soldiers, and quickly captured the important town of Jizhou - Chaoge, not only frightened Yuan Shao, Cao Cao is no exception, any of them alone, are not sure to deal with us, if they do not join forces, then they will inevitably attack each other, a mountain can not accommodate two tigers, Cao Cao and Yuan Shao can only have one person to win, but we are watching from the side, can they not worry?" Once they fight, it will be easy for us to send troops to deal with them, which is something they absolutely do not want to face, so this time they are determined to join forces against us, but they just blindly stick to it, and it will inevitably fall into a stalemate, and the war will be protracted, which will be very unfavorable to us. ”

"What do you mean?"

Chen Gong's question made everyone turn their attention to Jia Xu.

Jia Xu blurted out, "Defense is a must, we have a risk to follow, this advantage naturally cannot be wasted, under the premise of a solid defense, I suggest taking the initiative to attack and concentrate forces to deal with Yuan Shao." Yuan Shao had just destroyed Gongsun Zhan, the situation in Youzhou was not stable, and after years of fighting, Yuan Shao's army was exhausted, and the morale was no longer high, and he compensated us so much food at one time, he had a lot of problems, as long as we concentrated our forces to deal with him, it wouldn't be long before Yuan Shao could not hold on. At that time, Yuan Shao will naturally be angry with Cao Cao, everyone has selfish intentions, we only attack Yuan Shao, whoever we change, our hearts will not be balanced, the greater Yuan Shao's loss, the more intense their contradictions will be, and sooner or later there will be a day when the purpose is opposed. ”
