What should come is always coming, and even if everyone is praying that he won't come, he can't let it come even a minute late. The soldier's words made the originally noisy lobby silent for a moment, and Xun Yu, who looked up at him, was even more heavy, relieved his mind, put his pen down, and walked down quickly. Gao Ye also threw the pen, leaned back on the chair and sighed for a long time, rubbed his temples, and ordered the little official on the side to take a map of Hebei, and followed Xun Yu to the front.

The soldier saw Xun Yu approaching, and hurriedly bowed: "Xun Lingjun, Yecheng is in an emergency, Hebei Yuan Shao has gathered more than 100,000 soldiers and horses, and has sent troops from Zhongshan to Yecheng!" ”

Xun Yu's first reaction when he heard the words was to come quickly, although when Gao Ye told himself that Yuan Shao might take the opportunity to send troops, he also felt that it was unlikely. After all, the battle of Guandu was still a big blow to Yuan Shao. Even if Dong Cheng is his internal response, it is very difficult for him to regroup and send troops to fight within a month or two. didn't expect Yuan Shao's movements to be so fast!

Xun Yu was thinking about his thoughts, and at the same time took the military report handed by the soldier, waved his hand to signal him to go down and rest first, and he opened the military newspaper to take a closer look. Gao Ye, Guo Jia and others also gathered in the center of the chamber. At the suggestion of Gao Ye, a large round table has been set up here. Everyone also sat down casually, staring straight at Xun Yu, waiting for him to tell him what was said in the military newspaper.

Xun Yu, who had read the military newspaper, let out a sigh of relief, and after handing the military newspaper to Guo Jia who was sitting beside him, he said in a deep voice: "I didn't expect Yuan Shao to come so quickly!" As he spoke, he stood up, walked to the side of the map that had just been carried over by the servants, pointed to the map on the shelf, and said: "Zilong came to report that since the end of last year, there has been a large-scale gathering of soldiers and horses in northern Jizhou, but at that time, he and Ziyang both felt that it was a normal military movement of Yuan Shao's shrinking forces to protect himself, so he didn't care. But now the scouts found that in the north of Julu, nearly 100,000 soldiers and horses of the Yuan army have been stationed, and they have the intention of going south at any time! ”

Xiahoudun was already a violent temper, and when he heard this, he slapped the table fiercely and shouted: "What an old thief! It was his luck that he didn't catch him last time, and this time he really dared to come! 400,000 soldiers and horses have been beaten by us, just 100,000 soldiers and horses! Hmph, see if Lao Tzu doesn't kill him! ”

Cao Ren was rare and did not conform to Xiahou Dun, but said: "Yuan Shao's soldiers and horses are only afraid that there will be more than 100,000!" ”

Guo Jia handed the military report in his hand to Gao Ye beside him and then echoed: "Yes, although we won the battle of Guandu, it was difficult to win. Although Yuan Shao was defeated, he was not badly defeated. Jizhou is also a densely populated place, and if you forcibly recruit troops, it will be easy to gather 200,000 soldiers and horses. Moreover, there are soldiers and horses from Youzhou and Erzhou, especially the 80,000 Bingzhou troops of Gao Gan, and there is almost no loss in the battle of Guandu. Yuan Shao wants to take Yingdu and defeat the lord in one fell swoop, so he has to come out of the nest, only 100,000 soldiers and horses, I'm afraid it's just that he hasn't been assembled yet. ”

"Not bad!" Cao Pi, who had never opened his mouth much, echoed, "Yuan let Uncle you think, even if your father and Situ were ...... that night There were all accidents, but there are also Xun Lingjun, Guo Saijiu, as well as uncles, generals, we will not be easily defeated by Yuan Benchu! If Yuan Benchu does not do his best, he will inevitably return home, and I believe that his advisers will be able to see this clearly. Uncle, I don't think we can look down on Yuan Jun's strength because of Guandu's victory......"

Seeing that Xiahoudun blushed a little, Gao Ye couldn't help but laugh and said: "Yuan let you tell me, in the past, the lord always asked you to read more, but you just didn't listen, look, now even Zihuan understands better than you." After that, a group of people burst out laughing, and even Cao Hong, who was sitting next to Xiahoudun, patted Xiahoudun's shoulder while laughing and said, "Look at it, you see, don't interject if you don't understand." You see how quiet I am, don't you? ”

Seeing that Xiahoudun's face was about to have a sign of turning black, Gao Ye hurriedly diverted the topic and said, "Okay, okay, a joke is also to relieve this tense atmosphere." But then Gao Ye said with a straight face: "Although it is not good news that Yuan Shao is attacking with all his strength, we don't have to be afraid of him." As long as we can fight another big victory like Guandu this time, Yuan Shao will no longer have to be afraid, and the land of Hebei will be at your fingertips! ”

Xun Yu, Guo Jia, Jia Xu and others all nodded when they heard this, only Xun Yu stared at the map tightly and said: "So the point is how to fight a big victory!" Yuan Shao sent troops this time, and I think Yecheng is still the first to bear the brunt. This is not only the necessary place to attack Yingdu, but also the place where Yuan Shao must recover. I'm a little worried, after all, Yuan Shao has been running Yecheng for so long, I'm afraid that Zilong and Ziyang will be difficult to hold onto. ”

"The soldiers will block, and the water will come to the weir." Gao Ye got up and stood in front of the map, and said thoughtfully, "I have been playing with Yuan Benchu's two sons before, this time, I think that the lord needs to sit in Yingdu, but I finally have the opportunity to meet Yuan Benchu, the fourth and third princes!" I want to ......"

Before Gao Ye's words could be finished, he was interrupted by a soldier who pushed the door in. I saw that the soldier was also out of breath, and seeing that these bigwigs were there, he hurriedly bowed to the ground and said, "Huh... Ladies and gentlemen, Xuzhou urgently reported that Sun Quan personally led an army of 50,000 and killed Guangling! ”

"What did you say!" As soon as the soldier's words fell, Xiahoudun was startled. Gao Ye, who had just been interrupted, also frowned tightly. It happened that Gao Ye was sitting not far from the soldier, took two steps forward, took the military report from the soldier's hand, signaled the soldier to retreat first, and then opened the military report. While watching, he spoke; "This is the military report five days ago, Chen Yuanlong found that Sun Quan was gathering troops and horses in Qu'a, Jiang Qin and Zhou Tai were the vanguard, and they had already killed Guangling. He's here to ask for help. ”

After Gao Ye finished speaking, he put the military newspaper on the table, and didn't say anything more, but turned around and looked at the map behind him. Jia Xu, who had never spoken, said coldly at this time: "I didn't expect this bureau to be so big!" Tsk, it looks like the situation is getting more and more troublesome. ”

Guo Jia also nodded and said: "I originally thought that Yuan Shao was forced by the situation and didn't have time to cooperate with Dong Cheng to act together, but I didn't expect it, I really didn't expect it, it turned out that Dong Cheng was just a small chess piece in this game of chess!" What a Xin Zhongzhi, this time I really underestimated him! ”

"If that's the case, then will Liu Biao in Jingzhou and Ma Teng in Liangzhou be in this game? After all, the names of Liu Bei and Ma Teng are all on the edict! Jia Xu on the side still said unhurriedly.

Gao Ye, who was still staring at the map on the side, snorted coldly: "I think there is a chance that the two of them will make a move!" Liu Bei has been fighting hard since he hit Xinye, and it is impossible without Liu Biao's support behind it! I'm afraid that Zhang Xiu from Wancheng is accustomed to Xinye's side, and he will be caught off guard by the Jingzhou army when the time comes! As for Ma Teng in Xiliang, if he takes action, Chang'an will bear the brunt! Zhong Yuanchang's military report will take more than ten days to arrive, and when his news arrives, Ma Teng is afraid that he will be in the city! Saying that, Gao Ye sighed and said, "It's really a house leak that happened to rain overnight, do you want us to start a war on all sides?" ”

Mi Zhu, who had not expressed any opinion for many days, said in a rare way at this time: "I'm afraid it's not okay to fight on all sides, if you don't say anything else, money and food alone are simply not enough to support four battlefields at the same time." ”

Xun Yu also nodded and said: "What Zizhong said is yes, our army has been fighting for many years, and there has been no rest and recuperation, and last year's Guandu War was also a big blow to agriculture in various places under the rule of the lord, and the lack of money and food is probably the biggest problem." Everything is still just speculation now, I think, we should immediately expel the people, let Zhang Xiu in Wancheng and Zhong Xuan in Chang'an be prepared first. Now that General Miaocai has arrived in Hanoi, even if the West is really in chaos, with the three of them here, they can still resist for a while. But Chen Yuanlong is imminent, Guangling only has 20,000 soldiers and horses, Yuanlong is wise, but there is no general in Xuzhou, I am afraid that he will not be able to defend it alone. ”

Guo Jia also nodded and said: "I agree with Wen Ruo's opinion, there is still General Zhu Ling in Xuzhou, we only need to send one or two generals to go, and we should be safe." Now Yuan Shao in Hebei, I'm afraid that the big brother can't deal with it, but the situation in the West is also chaotic, Liu Bei and Ma Teng are not easy to deal with, we still need to be in command all the way! ”

"That's not necessary." Xun Yu shook his head and said, "Now for us, the elimination of Yuan Shao is the top priority. Whether Ma Teng and Liu Biao will cooperate with Yuan Shao is still unknown, and we should not be too nervous now. Even if they really came, the area around Chang'an was already dilapidated, so it was enough to let Yuan Chang withdraw to Tongguan. Wancheng is easy to defend and difficult to attack, Zhang Xiu is brave and good at fighting, and then Wen He goes to help, so it is difficult for Liu Bei to advance. In addition, General Miaocai of Hanoi thought that he was reinforcing the army, so he could come to the west without danger. When the time comes, we will guard on both sides, and on the other hand, we will go all out to meet Yuan Shao, as long as Yuan Shao is defeated, the whole situation will be alive! ”

Gao Ye, who was still looking at the map, sighed and said, "This plan seems to be impeccable, but the biggest problem is that the defenders on the front line of Chang'an, Tongguan, and Luoyang are mostly defenders from all over the country, and their combat effectiveness is too poor, I'm afraid it will be difficult to hold on!" Guan Yu and Zhang Fei are both fierce generals in the world, I heard that Ma Teng has a son named Ma Chao, and now before the weak crown, he has already killed a great reputation on the grassland. ”

Cao Pi, who had never spoken, suddenly asked, "Then, let Wen Hou go?" After saying a word, a group of people all looked at Cao Pi in a daze, and Cao Pi hurriedly said: "I just think about it, wrong ......"

Before the words fell, there was another rush of footsteps, and the door was suddenly pushed open again!
