After all, Mo Shuyan has been away from Chang'an for many days, and he has stayed in Hongnong for half a month, and he doesn't ask about the world, so he may not know much about the situation, so Xu Zisheng naturally wants to let Mo Shuyan know the current situation before discussing countermeasures.

On the platform of the hall, Xu Zisheng, who was sitting upright, immediately ordered: "Wenhe, give Shuyan a general explanation of the current situation." ”

Jia Xu responded, got up and said loudly to Mo Shuyan: "Although the lost Mianchi County has been recaptured, Zhao Yun has already led a large army to camp ten miles outside the county. ”

"In Xuchang, Cao Cao only left Le stationed in Xuchang to defend Xuchang, and the remaining six generals have already marched from Xuchang as a whole army and rushed to meet Zhao Yun, with sufficient grain and grass and strong troops, intending to attack Chang'an in one go."

"As for Sun Jian, since he led the army across the river, he has not seen any movement for a long time, but recently he has frequently dispatched troops, and he has the intention of going north."

"Recently, I got the exact news that Xun Yu met with Yuan Shu outside Puyang City, and the content of the discussion was not known, but Yuan Shu's army also began to assemble."

"It's Liu Bei in Xuzhou, not only did he not move, but he also patrolled the surrounding counties and counties of Xuzhou all day long, there is no threat for the time being, and the recent movements of the princes who can see it are all this, Mr. is puzzled?"

Hearing this, Mo Shuyan shook his head, although he only said a rough idea, but it was already very detailed, there was nothing to ask, lamenting that the recent situation was grim, Mo Shuyan had some concerns about the intelligence system laid by Xu Zisheng in his heart, it seems that he underestimated Xu Zisheng's intelligence system in the past, and now it seems that the intelligence system that is deeply rooted in the area has branched out and penetrated into all aspects, if you want to fight Xu Zisheng, you can't ignore this intelligence system, you must clear it first.

"That's pretty much it, what do you have to do?" Xu Zisheng asked.

Knowing that now was not the time to think about how to deal with the intelligence system, Mo Shuyan pondered for a while, and asked Xu Zisheng rhetorically, "What countermeasures do Wen He and Zhong Kang have?" ”

Without waiting for Xu Zisheng's reply, Jia Xu replied: "I think that rushing to the battle is not good for our side, so it is better to temporarily abandon Michi County, use Caoyang County as a base, and then counterattack the enemy army after being fully prepared." ”

"I think that if we don't give up an inch of land, we will not damage the morale of our army, and if we retreat, we will definitely let the enemy army be like a bamboo, and take Chang'an directly." Xu Chu said angrily.

"It's hard to choose between advance and retreat, can Shuyan have a way to reconcile?"

Xu Zisheng was quite distressed, the current situation is really difficult to win, difficult to defend, difficult to retreat, difficult to make a decision.

This problem, after all, still came unexpectedly, Mo Shuyan expected that according to Xu Zisheng's territory surrounded by enemies, sooner or later he would encounter an embarrassing dilemma, if he retreated at this time, morale declined, the land of Cao Yang because of the southern mountains, it was bound to not be able to prevent Cao Cao's army from attacking Chang'an on the other side of the high mountain, and then it was necessary to retreat to Hangu Pass, under such a defeat, the princes would not let go of the opportunity to step on a foot, once Hangu Pass was broken, Chang'an was in danger.

If it is advanced, with Lu Bu's army, even if Xu Chu is sent again, it will be difficult to resist Cao Cao's army outside Mianchi County, and the result of retreat will be similar to the result of direct retreat, and it may be even worse.

"Attack it and save it."

Mo Shuyan suddenly shouted.

Suddenly, Xu Zisheng's eyes flashed with a strange look, and he asked in a deep voice: "What is the attack that must be saved?" ”

"It's the same as what I did in Michi-gun." Mo Shuyan said with a heavy heart, although he no longer avoided the matter of Michi County, he would still be a little touched.

"But your operation in Michi County has completely failed, is this method really feasible?"

For Mo Shuyan's proposal, Xu Zisheng obviously had some concerns, he had achieved some victories in Yongning County before, but he abolished the intelligence system of Yongning County, and combined with the actions of Mianchi County, Xu Zisheng saw that he was taking great risks and costs in exchange for some small gains, and if it was implemented on a large scale, it would be too big a blow to the intelligence systems in various places.

"Now is not the time to worry about the cost, only by carrying out a large-scale beheading plan on Cao Cao's territory and releasing the villains in the prison, can the counties and counties controlled by Cao Cao be completely chaotic, and at that time, but with a large army of Lejin, it will not be able to deal with the turmoil, once the chaos starts, there will be a fault in the supply of grain and grass, and the seven generals will withdraw their troops." Mo Shuyan elaborated sonorously.

Hearing this, Xu Zisheng was silent for a moment, did not refuse, nor agreed, but carefully considered it, obviously he had been moved by Mo Shuyan's words.

Jia Xu was the first to react and raised the doubts in his heart: "Regardless of whether the general agrees or not, just talking about this method of action, it will take time to arrange for many counties and counties to carry out the beheading plan together, and the seven generals will not wait, how should they deal with it when the time comes?" ”

Mo Shuyan's face did not change, and he replied without hesitation: "The whole army retreats to Hangu Pass, and all the counties outside Hangu Pass do not close the city gates day and night, do not set up sentry posts, and let them be captured. ”

Jia Xu and Xu Chu were suddenly struck by lightning, their eyes widened and they looked at Mo Shuyan, a little unable to believe their ears, this action was equivalent to sending two-thirds of their own territory out, if they didn't know that Mo Shuyan would not harm them, I am afraid they would have already arrested Mo Shuyan and questioned him.

"Just do what Shuhiko says."

Wave after wave of unsettled, Xu Zisheng didn't seem to be a big deal, so he agreed and chose to gamble for Mo Shuyan's idea.

"My lord, please think twice, if this method does not work, not only will it suffer heavy losses, but it will also lead to instability in the army's morale, and it will definitely be self-defeating when the time comes." Jia Xu blushed and bowed.

Although Xu Chu didn't say anything, looking at his expression, he didn't seem to agree with this approach, and it was not an exaggeration to say that it was a taboo for soldiers.

"Needless to say, it's better to fight against the water than to be gradually eaten away." Xu Zisheng said without wavering.

"My lord."

"Let's arrange it."

"This ...... Alas...... Promise. ”

With a sigh, Jia Xu answered, glanced at Mo Shuyan deeply, and turned to leave.

"There's nothing for me here, I'll go back first." Mo Shuyan said softly.

"Go ahead."

After receiving the approval, Mo Shuyan left straight away, and when he arrived outside the hall, he took the reins from the guards and galloped away.

"Zhong Kang, from now on, secretly double the manpower to protect Mr. Mo." Xu Zisheng commanded with a rather cold expression.

"No."

Xu Chu agreed, and then left.

Only Xu Zisheng looked at the palace door, slightly distracted.
