Chapter Ninety-Three: The Rat-Throwing Trap
Guo Jia and Xun You discussed Cao Cao's current situation while drinking, hoping to solve the current predicament.
At this time, the door curtain flickered, and a cold wind swept in, making the eyes of the two of them suddenly widen a lot, and a small colonel hurriedly came and bowed his hand to the two, "Two military advisors, the lord is invited!" ”
Is the lord invited? Guo Jia and Xun You got up with a grunt when they heard the words, and most of the wine woke up, hurriedly tidied up their clothes, rolled up their sleeves and felt a strong smell of wine coming to their nostrils, and it was too late to change their clothes, so they had to wave their sleeves in disgust as if they could dispel the smell of wine all over their bodies.
The two of them strode to the outside of the tent, the night sky was pitch black, only occasionally a few stars flashed faintly and hung in the distant sky, a large stream of cold wind poured in along the sleeves of their clothes, and they shivered and almost woke up, except for the smell of wine at the moment, the two of them were no different from ordinary people.
"What's the matter, when you are full of wine and food, it is when the lord summons you!" Guo Jia shook his sleeves and tilted his head to look at Xun Yu playfully.
Xun You glared at Guo Jia angrily, "With your drunken body, see the lord, wait to be trained!" ”
Guo Jia's eyes narrowed, stepped forward and sniffed Xun You's body, and said very intoxicated: "There is Gongda, today is worry-free!" ”
"You!" Xun You's face changed color, and he was accidentally tricked by Guo Jia again, flicking his sleeves and walking towards Cao Jun's tent first.
Seeing Xun You leaving, Guo Jia smiled heartlessly and hurriedly waved his hand, "Hey, Gongda, wait for me!" ”
……
Cao Jun's big tent, the generals have gone down to rest, and there are only Cao Cao and the guards in the big tent, and then there are two Dian Wei behind him.
"Lord!" Guo Jia and Xun You came together, stepped forward quickly, and stood bowed.
A strong smell of wine followed the footsteps of the two of them and rushed straight to Cao Cao who was lying prone on the soft collapse, wrinkling his nose, Cao Cao's sharp gaze instantly fell on Guo Jia, and he was about to open his mouth to reprimand, when his snort moved slightly and another strong smell of wine rushed straight to Cao Cao, he moved his gaze to Xun You suspiciously, seeing that Xun You's face was red, he kept his head down, and swallowed back the words that came to his mouth, and helplessly lowered his head and waved his hand, "Sit!" ”
Guo Jia and Xun You each found a soft place to sit down, and Cao Cao's dull and majestic voice sounded, "What do you think of today's battle!" ”
Glancing at Guo Jia, Xun You took the lead in speaking: "Yang Shuo is here with all his might, Cao Ren and Cao Hong are afraid that they have been defeated, and the lord should make a decision as soon as possible!" ”
Cao Cao moved his gaze to Guo Jia again, and when he saw Guo Jia nodding with Xun You, he immediately understood the thoughts of the two, and then asked, "Then how to decide?" ”
Xun You took a deep breath, "Find another way or retreat as soon as possible!" ”
"How to find another way, and how to retreat?" Cao Cao's deep voice followed.
"The Tiger Prison Pass is dangerous, and now it is heavily guarded by Yang Shuo, it is almost impossible to conquer it, the lord can feign attacking the Tiger Prison Pass while sending people in the Luyang area, taking the opportunity to sneak attack Luoyang from Xuanyuan Pass, Dagu Pass, and Yique Pass, Yang Shuo's troops are not good now, and now the heavy troops are gathered in the Tiger Prison Pass, Luoyang must be empty, and when Luoyang is controlled, the Tiger Prison Pass has become a sandwich jerky!" Xun You said analytically.
"If there is such a good plan, why is there still the idea of retreating as soon as possible?" Cao Cao asked again.
"Although the three passes of Xuanyuan Pass, Dagu Pass, and Yique Pass are not as steep as the Tiger Prison Pass, they are also close to Luoyang, and if they want to succeed in a surprise attack, they must have heavy troops, and according to the scouts, there are a large number of cavalry under Yang Shuo's command, if they go out of the pass to harass Yanzhou, the consequences are afraid that they will be unfavorable to us!" Xun You pondered for a moment, then bit his lip and said.
"What about the retreat?" Cao Cao asked.
"The Tiger Prison Pass is occupied, the land of Yanzhou is unobstructed, Yang Shuo can go east out of the Tiger Prison at any time, in order to prevent Yang Shuo, the lord can build fortifications with Xingyang, guard it with heavy troops, and wait for the opportunity to counterattack Luoyang!" Xun Yu Dao.
Entering Chang'an in the west, Cao Cao first wanted to expand the strategic depth and enhance his strength, and secondly, to eliminate Yang Shuo, a hairy boy who made him look at him differently. But as soon as he fought, Yang Shuo gave him a dismount, half of the army when he set out was defeated in Luoyang, Cao Ren and Cao Hong's whereabouts are unknown, Cao Cao has suffered a lot of defeats in his life, but this time it still makes Cao Cao's heart ache.
"What does Gongda think I'm going to do?" After thinking for a moment, Cao Cao felt a faint pain in his head, so he rubbed his swollen mind and asked Xun You.
Xun You took a deep breath and spoke passionately, "When the battle is fought to the end, otherwise Yuan Shu and Lu Bu will all look down on me and others, and they will definitely lead the army to kill the future!" ”
Cao Cao turned his head and looked at Guo Jia again: "What does Feng Xiao think we should do?" ”
"Lead the army to retreat, wait and see what happens, and wait for the opportunity to move!" Guo Jia opened his mouth, seeing Cao Cao and Xun You's surprised faces, he didn't wait for the two to ask, and continued: "The lord is in Yanzhou and Yuzhou, although he can fight everywhere, but it is also easy to fall into the situation of being surrounded on all sides, Gongsun Zhan will go south sooner or later, Yuan Shu is ambitious and Lu Bu is ready to bite us at any time, and now there are Zhang Xiu and Yang Shuo, which can be said to be enemies on all sides.
Yuan Shu, Lu Bu, and Liu Bei in the east are all restless lords, Yuan Shu always thinks about taking the rich land of Huainan, how can Liu Bei allow Lu Bu to take him Xuzhou, if the lord is a little bit more will inevitably be full of smoke, Zhang Xiu in the west relies on Liu Biao, if there is no lord to suppress Liu Biao, Zhang Xiuzhi will be despised, and the two will fall out sooner or later, as for Yang Shuo in Luoyang, he is also very ambitious, as long as I don't occupy Luoyang, the eyes of the warlords of Gao Gan and Xiliang will move to Yang Shuo's body, and they can take the opportunity to seize the Tiger Pass. ”
Surrounded by enemies on all sides, Yuan Shao deepened the gap with him Cao Cao, Luoyang and Chang'an are different from Xuchang, controlling the Son of Heaven and then sitting on Luoyang and Chang'an, the nature is different, Yuan Shao will definitely regard him as a thorn in the flesh, but if he does not occupy Luoyang and Chang'an, Gongsun Chan will not go south? Hibernation and waiting to move, Guo Jia's strategy is good, but time seems to be running out of opportunities for her Cao Cao, and then he withdrew his troops back like this, how do these more than 10,000 soldiers look at him, and how do they face Cao Ren, Cao Hong and other family members?
At this moment, Cao Cao felt so helpless, he started from Chen Liu's army, and it took more than seven years to have today's situation, but what about Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu?
Since you have to face Yuan Shao sooner or later, why should you be afraid so much, tomorrow you will definitely go all out to take down Yang Shuo, capture Luoyang and Chang'an, and shock the world. Lu Bu, Liu Bei, Zhang Xiu and others will also follow, and there are so many fierce generals, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Qin Qiong, and Xu Huang will all be included in his command, thinking that Cao Cao laughed unconsciously, and his mind was much clearer.
Standing up, his cold eyes swept over Xun You and Guo Jia, "Pass the order, reward the soldiers tomorrow, and be sure to take down Yang Shuo!" ”
