Guo Jia's words have been recognized by everyone, at present, only Yuan Shao and Wu Liren are powerful, each occupying the land of Sanzhou, and dare to assassinate the Son of Heaven, except for the two of them who have this kind of courage, there is no need for other people. Ambition is directly proportional to strength.

If Wu Liren knew that Guo Jiachai was the murderer behind the scenes at this time, then he would definitely shout that he was wronged, although Wu Liren had no likes or dislikes for Emperor Han Xian, but he was unwilling to let him assassinate the Son of Heaven. This kind of thing is like playing with fire; And paper can never contain fire. At this time, except for Yuan Shao, Liu Taozhi, Feng Ji and others, only Wu Liren knew who the real murderer was, but he wouldn't say it now.

"Yuan Shao, Wu Ming, sooner or later I will kill them!"

Cao Cao said hatefully, but at this time, there seemed to be a voice in his heart saying: "Now you are no one's opponent!" ”

Xun Yu arched his hand and said: "At this time, it is a national disaster, and the lord should protect his body in order to realize the lofty belief of Kuang Fu Han family." Now there are tens of thousands of troops in the city of Dongping Ling, presumably the grain and grass are about to run out, and in a few days, the enemy will inevitably retreat, and then the lord will take Jinan as the foundation, slowly march north, and then raise the volunteers, and restore the Han dynasty Qingming! ”

Cao Cao nodded, and instructed the three armies to wear filial piety for Liu Xie, and sacrifice to the sky for several days.

Xun Yu returned to his tent and asked people to prepare a spiritual seat for Liu Xie and worshipped. At this time, Xun Yu walked in, looked at Xun Yu, and sighed: "Why is my uncle so sad, it is reasonable for the Han family to be like this!" It's beyond the reach of manpower! ”

Xun Yu sighed, looked at Xun Yu's somewhat haggard face, and said with emotion: "The world is really changeable, and the will of heaven is unpredictable!" ”

Xun You smiled and said, "Since my uncle knows, I don't need to sigh too much, but there is one thing I still want to ask my uncle." If today's son is assassinated, the Han family is destroyed, almost in the middle of the hand, the princes rise together, the world is in chaos, I don't know who can really clean up this ruined country? ”

"Gongda, I recommended you to the lord before, but I didn't expect the lord to fall to this point now, I don't know if you have any resentment in your heart?"

After Xun Yu switched to Cao Cao from Yuan Shao, he also recommended Xun You to Cao Cao, and now Cao Cao's defeat is imminent, Xun Yu is a little sorry for Xun You in his heart.

"Uncle said this! If the general trend is not known today, it is still unknown who will kill the deer, and the lord may not be able to lie down and taste the courage and chase the world again, not to mention that following the lord's name is not just because of the recommendation of his uncle, but also because he has his own judgment in his heart. ”

Xun Yu shook his head, "Having said that, but now that the lord has Yuan Shao in the north and Wu Ming in the south, it is really difficult to spell out a road." Compared with Wu Ming and Yuan Shao, it is naturally more promising for Wu Ming, after all, Yuan Shao relied on the family background of the fourth generation and the third prince to exchange today's achievements; And that Wu Ming was originally an unknown person, and now he can achieve today's achievements, which really makes people have to sincerely admire. ”

"In that case, has my uncle ever thought about the way forward? Or do you want to stay by your lord's side? The uncle first followed Yuan Shao, and then from the lord, because Yuan Shao couldn't become a big weapon; Now, do you want to vote for Wu Ming? ”

Xun Yu's words, word by word, seemed to want to get Xun Yu's reply immediately.

"Gongda, I first followed Yuan Shao, it was for the fourth and third dukes of the Yuan family, I thought I could help the Han family, but later I found out that Yuan Shao was a good person and it was difficult to achieve great things, so I switched to Cao Gong. Cao Kung Fu is meritocis and ambitious, and is indeed a rare hero and master in the world; Now that things are not going wrong, it is not clear to the lord, but it is actually the unwisdom of our ministers, and the courage of the generals; Since the lord is not up to me, how can I bear to carry it? Wouldn't this make the world's celebrities laugh? The lord Benxing righteous soldiers to Kuang Dynasty Ningguo, I should also uphold the sincerity of loyalty and defend the retreat. A gentleman is virtuous, and it is not appropriate to do so. ”

Xun Yu's words made Xun Yu look awe-inspiring, bowed his hand, and bowed deeply, "Uncle's words make people awe-inspiring, today Xun Yu knows that Xun Ling leaves incense, not for the taste of incense, but for the beauty of virtue." ”

Xun Yu waved his hand and said disapprerovitously: "This is my way of being a person, not Gongda; If you have a good place to go, you can go yourself. ”

Xun You didn't say anything, and retreated silently.

Liu Xie's death, not only the Cao army and the upper and lower armies are filial piety, but even Yuan Shang's army is also filial piety, after all, everyone is still nominally a vassal of the Han family, and no one dares to exceed the system. But after a few days, the grain and grass in Dongpingling City had indeed been exhausted, and Xue Rengui's reinforcements had not arrived, so Yuan Shang had no choice but to plan to retreat that day and night.

However, at this moment, Xue Li sent someone to reply and asked Yuan Shang to cooperate in order to deal a fatal blow to Cao Cao.

On the evening of the same day, Yuan Shang secretly withdrew his troops from Dongpingling, and soon after, Cao Cao's spies also discovered that Cao Cao sent Li Xin to lead his troops to pursue Yuan Shang, while letting his army enter Dongpingling.

When Cao Cao led the army to the outside of Dongpingling City, Guo Jia suddenly said loudly: "Slow down! Do you remember the fire in Pengcheng? In case this is Tian Yu's plan, the lord has to guard against it! ”

Speaking of this, Cao Cao remembered that when Cao Cao attacked Pengcheng before, the army that was also burned by Wang Shouren suffered heavy casualties, and even he himself was slightly injured; The current situation is somewhat similar to that day, so Guo Jia's worries are not unreasonable.

"Then send a team of soldiers and horses to investigate the situation first, and then it's not too late to enter the city!"

Cao Cao didn't dare to be too careless, he didn't dare to waste a single soldier easily, and his current situation was even more difficult than when he first started the army.

Cao Cao ordered Dian Wei to take five hundred soldiers into the city to explore the way, after Dian Wei received the order, he entered the Dongping Mausoleum, after about an hour, Dian Wei came out of the city, and Cao Cao reported, Cao Cao then put his mind at ease, let the army enter the city together.

"Pass the order, let Cheng Yu and the rear team of soldiers and horses carry grain and grass to camp outside the city!"

Cheng Yu was still waiting for news from Cao Cao in Cao Cao's camp at this time, and once it was confirmed that Dongpingling was safe, he went to Dongpingling with his rear team of 2,000 soldiers and horses.

Cheng Yu was outside the tent at this time, looking into the distance, waiting for news.

At this moment, I suddenly saw a Cao sergeant rushing over in a hurry, shouting in a panic: "Report! General Cheng, ten miles away from the rear, I found a large group of people approaching, please make a decision! ”

After hearing this, Cheng Yu's face changed, his heart was shocked, and he almost fell off the horse, he shouted loudly: "Go and probe down again to see how many people there are?" Whose soldiers and horses are they? Also, the rest of the soldiers, escort the grain and grass with me to Dongpingling, there must be no mistake! ”
