"Zhonghe, for today's plan, what should you focus on? Yuan Shu has 200,000 troops, located in Huainan, my Xuzhou has been war-torn for a long time, and the people's livelihood is withering, so it cannot be defeated. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo”

Guo Kan said: "The trouble of Xuzhou is in Cao but not in Yuan; Although Yuan Shu has many soldiers and generals, he is brave and unbroken, arrogant and extravagant, unpopular, although the soldiers are full of food, such as dry bones in the mound, as long as tens of thousands of horses, slowly plotting it, why worry about the big thing? ”

Wu Liren said in his heart: I also know that Cao Cao is stronger than Yuan Shu, but no matter how weak Yuan Shu is, the soldiers will be there, not to mention that it will take a few years to get it; During that time, Cao Cao must have dealt with Lu Bu, how could Xuzhou resist Cao Cao.

"Then who can stop Cao Cao?"

"Xuzhou is the place of the four battles, there is no danger to defend, if Cao Cao attacks with all his strength, it will be difficult for Xuzhou to be saved. Gu Kan thought that if Cao Cao attacked, he should abandon the four counties of Langya, Donghai, Dongguan and Pengcheng first. ”

As soon as he said this, Xuzhou Wenwu suddenly talked about it again, and even shook his head and sighed, Wu Liren couldn't accept it at all in his heart.

Chen Jinnan saluted Guo Kan and asked loudly: "Mr. Guo, do you know that there are six counties in Xuzhou, if you give up the four according to Mr. Wang's words, Guangling County is not under control, is it too risky to compete for one county to dominate the world?" Is this the case with the ancient wind music? ”

Wu Liren didn't speak, he also wanted to wait for Guo Kan to explain his doubts.

"Although the six counties of Xuzhou are rich and prosperous, they are not useful. If you defend on all fronts, there is no danger everywhere, and it is difficult to defend everywhere. The lord of Xiapi County has been carefully operating for several years, moving the Xuzhou administrative office to Xiapi, and the people moved to Xiapi with their will, and then went south to capture Guangling and enter Yangzhou. Then unite with Sun Ce to fight Yuan Shu, Yuan Shu is destroyed, and the counties of Yangzhou will be in the hands of the lord. In this way, with the power of Yangzhou, and then Qingxu, or Jingxiang, the lord can be invincible. ”

Mi Zhu also questioned at this time: "Is it difficult for Mr. Guo to talk on paper?" Yuan Shu's soldiers are wide, how can he easily try it? If Yangzhou has not been taken and Xuzhou has been lost, how can the lord gain a foothold? ”

"Then according to Mi Zizhong's meaning, why should you guard Xuzhou?"

Mi Zhu didn't know how to answer for a while, and Ran Min continued: "Naturally, the soldiers will come to block the water and cover the earth!" If the thief comes again, I will let him never return. ”

Guo Kan smiled, "General Ran's bravery, Kan already knows everything." However, how vast is the land of Xuzhou, how can General Ran defend it all with the strength of one person? Defend Pengcheng, then Langya and the East China Sea will be lost; Shoulangya, then Pengcheng, Dongguan, and even Xiapi will be in danger. ”

Wu Liren's face was ugly, he thought that he had taken a big step forward when he won Xuzhou, and now when he heard Guo Kan say this, he realized how simple his thoughts were. In history, Xuzhou was constantly in various wars, Liu Bei fought with Lu Bu, and then with Yuan Shu and Cao Cao, Xuzhou can be said to have never been peaceful. I want to develop slowly in Xuzhou, which is simply a fool's dream.

But he still couldn't make up his mind, he had just reached the most fat, and before he could eat a bite, he even asked him to spit it out, and Wu Liren's flesh was in pain.

"Mr. Guo, this matter is very important, and I still need to discuss it with the military advisor. In this way, Zhonghe, near the south, we will go back to Xiapi first, and then see the meaning of the military division, as for the governance of Xuzhou, it is very good to move to Xiapi County, after all, Pengcheng is too close to Cao Cao, and it may be attacked at any time. Yuanlong, this matter is handled by you personally. ”

Chen Deng answered, and then Wu Liren asked Ran Min again, "Yongzeng, how many soldiers and horses are there in Pengcheng now?" ”

"Tell my lord! Most of the soldiers and horses under his command are newly recruited, about 10,000 people; There are about 20,000 soldiers in Pengcheng County, and about 10,000 soldiers in each county combined. Ran Min came one by one.

After listening to this, Wu Liren looked at Guo Kan again, "Zhonghe thinks that how to distribute these 40,000 soldiers and horses, there are now about 10,000 soldiers and horses in Xiapi City, plus more than 10,000 newly recruited. ”

Guo Kan arched his hand, "Lord, Pengcheng is the last line of defense in Xiapi, so Pengcheng needs to be guarded by generals, and General Ran can lead 20,000 old soldiers to garrison; The new army and county soldiers were transferred to Xiapi for a little training, and the conquest of Guangling counties could be tempered a little. ”

Wu Liren nodded, and said in a deep voice: "Yongzeng, I order you to lead an army of 20,000 to defend Pengcheng, and if there is an enemy attack, you must not take the enemy lightly. Yuanlong, you also stayed here, and helped Yong to defend the city; Yongzeng, Yuanlong is resourceful, you listen to Yuanlong's opinions in everything, remember to remember! Ran Min and Chen Deng received orders at the same time.

"Zizhong, Gongyou, Ru and others did more propaganda in the other four counties, threatening that Cao Cao would attack Xuzhou, so that the people would be willing to move to Xiapi, and escort them all the way to Xiapi. General Mi Fang first transferred manpower from the counties and counties of Xuzhou, joined General Ran's new recruitment, and then rushed to Xiapi to listen to the transfer. ”

Guangling is now in the hands of Zhenrong, and in historical records, Zhenrong is completely an out-and-out shameless person. He successively defected to Zhao Yu, Xue Li (this Xue Li is not Xue Li), and Zhu Hao, and later killed them all, annexed their soldiers, and occupied the magpie's nest. In the end, he was hunted down by Yangzhou Assassin Shi to end his life.

There is no general in Guangling, the main general is still a character like Zhenrong, as the saying goes, a soldier is a bear, and there will be a nest of bears. The soldiers under Zhenrong are also like bandits.

Guo Kan and Chen Jinnan rushed back to Xiapi with Wu Liren, met Wang Shouren, and explained Guo Kan's suggestion in detail.

Wang Shouren also seemed a little hesitant at this time, and Guo Kan's suggestion was undoubtedly bold and radical. However, what he said made a lot of sense.

"Lord, this matter is very important, and Cao Cao will definitely destroy Lu Bu first, and then Xuzhou. The lord first took this opportunity to take Guangling, and if Cao Cao raised the troops of Shandong to attack, then according to Mr. Guo's words: first hold Pengcheng, if you can't defend it, you will abandon the city and retreat to Pi. Wang Shouren said slowly.

Guo Kan shook his head and said: "Lord, Cao Cao must go to Xuzhou, so he needs to plan early." The money and grain of the four counties of Xuzhou were transferred early, and the lords of the people had already made arrangements to strengthen the defense against the attack from Cao Cao. ”

"Lord, please!"

Wu Liren sighed: "Since this is the case, then follow Zhonghe's words!" Those who achieve great things do not need to care about the gains and losses of one city and one county. ”

"The lord is wise!"

Guo Kan and Wang Shouren knelt down together, and Wu Liren saluted, Wu Liren hurriedly said: "What do you mean by this?" ”

Wang Shouren smiled and replied: "My lord, the meaning of Zhonghe coincides with me, but I haven't had time to say it to the lord, and I'm afraid that the lord will be difficult to accept." Gu Fangcai did not directly respond to Guo Zhonghe, and let the lord judge the gains and losses alone, and the lord made such a decision that he would definitely be able to achieve great things. ”

It turns out that I accidentally added a temporary test! Wu Liren muttered dissatisfied.

"In this case, I intend to transfer 20,000 horses back from Xuzhou to Zhonghe, train for a few months, and go to Guangling first, but what?"

"My lord, time is running out! It doesn't take a few months, one month, one month of training, and only one month to take Guangling, please wait for the good news! Guo Kancong said, exuding confidence all over his body, which made Wu Liren's heart excited.

"Okay, just follow Zhonghe's words."

Pengcheng, Chen's house.

Chen Deng told his father Chen Qi about Guo Kan's words one by one, and Chen Qi squinted his eyes and shook his head, as if he didn't hear what Chen Deng was saying.

"What does my father think of this Guo Kan? If the four counties of Xuzhou are abandoned, I am afraid that the foundation of my Chen family will be greatly affected. ”

Chen Qi slowly opened his eyes and smiled, "This Guo Kan really has its own merits, this move can not only make Xuzhou condense into one and fight against Cao Cao, but also move the Mi family, the Chen family, the Tao family and the Cao family of several major scholars in Xuzhou and clean it again." The Chen family is okay, a lot of the foundation is in Xiapi, and on the whole, the Chen family has suffered the least losses. If you don't move away, I'm afraid that when Cao's army comes, you will face another bloody storm. ”
