Lü Bu's surrender can be said to have drawn a successful end to Cao Cao's eastern expedition to Xuzhou. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info Cao Cao is naturally quite happy that he finally won Xuzhou. Gao Ye was even happier in his heart for persuading Lu Bu to surrender and saving him the tragic end of Baimenlou. Although Lu Bu is now defeated, he still demoted Cao Cao in the end, not only was his life saved, but his daughter had a marriage contract with Cao Ang, so he was naturally overjoyed. In Gao Ye's opinion, perhaps among this group of people, only Liu Bei is smiling now.

Xiapi has been decided, although Cao Cao has a lot of dissatisfaction with Chen Gong, but in the end he buried his body alive outside Xiapi City. In the city of Xuzhou, Cao Cao, who returned from a great victory, held a banquet and celebrated with all his civil and military forces. For a while, it was staggered, and it was not lively. Even on the second day of the high night, I woke up with a hangover and a tight headache, until I breathed fresh air and took a trip to Tai Chi, which was considered to be a recovery.

After Daqing, Cao Cao did not want to stay in Xuzhou for a long time, although there was no report of Yuan Shao's victory over Gongsun Zhan, but now that he had finally pacified Xuzhou, it was time to step up preparations and fight with Yuan Shao. Not long ago, news came from Hanoi, that Zhang Yang because of his relationship with Lu Bu, saw that Lu Bu was surrounded, and wanted to save him. However, his subordinate general Yang Chou has always been devoted to Cao Cao, and he has long been bought by Guo Jia's subordinates. Therefore, not long after Zhang Yang sent troops, he was assassinated by Yang Chou, and Yang Chou also wanted to defect to Cao Cao immediately. It's a pity that Yang Chou was killed by Zheng Gu, who led Zhang Yang's subordinates to shoot dogs and threaten the safety of Yingchuan and Chenliu County.

It is precisely because of this that Cao Cao wants to return to the army as soon as possible. Only by taking Hanoi as soon as possible can his power effectively expand to the north of the Yellow River, so that he can have a huge strategic space for himself to engage Yuan Shao. Therefore, Cao Cao immediately appointed Che Zhou as the assassin of Xuzhou, and Chen Deng as the Taishou of Guangling, to the south to guard against a possible attack in Jiangdong. As for Lu Bu and Liu Bei, the two guys who were once entrenched in Xuzhou, Cao Cao brought them back to Yingdu together.

As for Gao Ye, although she received the good news that Ying'er gave birth to a girl for herself, Cai Yan was pregnant again, and she was very excited. It's a pity that now is the critical time, how can I open my mouth, leave the big mess in Qingzhou, and run back to Yingyin to visit my two wives?

Even Guo Jia, who brought the news to Gao Ye, made fun of Gao Ye and said: "That is, the eldest brother has no wings, otherwise I will have to fly home immediately." One sentence made Gao Ye smile bitterly. Fortunately, now there are only himself and Guo Jia, and it is harmless to make a joke between brothers.

However, Gao Ye immediately shot back: "No way, I'm not you Guo Fengxiao, you were stable when Xiao Yi'er was born." Outside the door, it is as calm as if the child is not yours. I don't know who jumped up and shouted that he had a son, and twisted his foot......"

Guo Jia suddenly looked embarrassed when he heard this, Cao Wan gave birth to a son that day, although he pretended to be calm at the beginning, but the anxiety in his heart was no less than that of Cao Cao, the old man. Especially when Wen Po came out, she congratulated herself on her joy, and she was even more happy. Under the great joy, it is inevitable to forget the form, and after forgetting the form, it is even more inevitable to be happy and sad. No, under his cheers, he accidentally twisted his foot, and Hua Tuo, who had just finished giving birth, came out, and he had to help Guo Jia correct his bones. This matter has long been spread among the high-level leaders of Cao Ying, and it has completely become a model of happiness and sorrow.

Guo Jia, who looked embarrassed, coughed at this time, and then said: "You said that I was kind enough to tell you such good news, you came to entertain me, did you have such a big brother?" ”

"Haha, isn't it because you came to entertain me first?" Gao Ye shrugged his shoulders and said with a smile: "By the way, I will set off tomorrow and rush back to Qingzhou, and you will also return to Yanzhou with the lord." How is it, in the face of Yuan Shao's behemoth, do you have confidence? ”

"Haha, eldest brother, the lord asked me the same way the day before yesterday, I told the lord, 'The lord has ten victories and Yuan Shao has ten defeats', what's the matter, does the eldest brother want to hear it too?"

Gao Ye shook his head when he heard this: "Forget it, I won't listen." With your mouth, dead people can tell you to come back to life, and I won't look for excitement. "Ten wins and ten defeats, that's Guo Jia's famous work. From ten aspects, such as "Tao" and "righteousness", the Cao Cao camp and Yuan Shao's camp were compared, including political measures, policies and decrees, organizational lines, and various factors related to the success or failure of the great cause, such as political measures, policies and decrees, organizational lines, and the ideological cultivation of each person, and the strength of the mind, character, and martial arts strategy, and finally came to the conclusion that "Cao's army must win and Yuan's army must lose". This exposition can almost be memorized by Gao Ye, so why listen to Guo Jia again?

Guo Jia also smiled when he heard this: "It's the eldest brother, if you go to Qingzhou this time, I'm afraid that you will have to face the pressure of Yuan Shaojun, how about it, Yuan Tan's kid, the eldest brother should be able to fight, right?" ”

"What I care about now is what Yuan Shao will do next, as well as the construction of the naval army there in Xingba. The navy has now launched several ships, and Xingba is training with his soldiers, and everything is on the right track. It's Yuan Shao," Gao Ye paused when he said this, looked at Guo Jia and said solemnly: "I think he will definitely raise a large army this time and go straight to the lord." You'll be the first to bear the brunt of the disaster! As for Qingzhou here, there is only one Yuan Tan, but I don't pay attention to it. ”

"On this point, I and Wen Ruo, Gongda and others have the same opinion as my eldest brother. Whenever Yuan Shao sends troops, he will inevitably go straight to Yingchuan and the lord. In this regard, Wen Ruo, Gongda, Wen He, Zhong De, and Gongren and I had plans as early as April and May. Although our army now has a lot of soldiers and horses, but with the new acquisition of Xuzhou, Qingzhou has divided part of the troops, and now our army can go out to fight, at most only 100,000. And if Yuan Shao comes with all his strength, there will be at least 400,000 soldiers and horses, so we will be at an absolute disadvantage in terms of troops. ”

"If Yuan Shao has just pacified Youzhou, he will start a war against us. His men have been fighting for years, and they are already exhausted. Even if 400,000 troops are dispatched, how much combat effectiveness can they have? ”

"What the eldest brother said is good, but even so, the pressure on our army of 400,000 is also huge. Now that you are stationed in Qingzhou, we naturally don't have to worry about the enemy in the east. The lord was ready to send troops to capture Hanoi, so that the soldiers and horses of the state could not be worried. Kansai is now in chaos, and there are more Wei Qi and Zhong Xuan guarding Guanzhong, and they can also be worry-free. Wancheng has Zhang Xiu, Guangling has Chen Deng, and Runan has Li Tong, so the enemy in the south is not to worry. In this way, it is nothing more than a positive Yuan Shao army. ”

"So, you've basically chosen the place for the decisive battle?"

"Not bad! If Yuan Shao wants to attack Yingdu, he must leave Chenliu. Located in the upper reaches of the chasm, on the verge of Bianshui, there is a place called Guandu. Yuan Shao wants to fight Henan, which is a battleground. What's more, there are dangers to defend here, and it is not far from Yingchuan, which is not only easier to get support from various counties, but also can ensure the smooth flow of grain routes. It is the best place for decisive battles. A few of us have been planning with the lord for a long time, and we don't think there is any problem. ”

Gao Ye nodded when he heard this, in his previous life, he thought that Cao Cao's battle would be fought in Guandu, which was purely an accident. After all, Cao Cao first lost the white horse and then Yanjin, so he had to retreat to Guandu and hold on to Yuan Shao. But now it seems that Cao Cao is only afraid that Cao Cao has premeditated. After listening to Guo Jia's analysis, he realized that Guandu is really a good place for a decisive battle.

Gao Yexin thought of this, and then asked, "Then what do you think of Sanjiangkou?" ”

"Sanjiangkou? What is this place? ”

Gao Ye was suddenly startled, and now he was just about to fight Yuan Shao, what did he think about Sanjiangkou? But after all, the Battle of Chibi is also a famous battle in the Three Kingdoms era with fewer victories, since Cao Cao in the Battle of Guandu was quite cautious about the choice of the battlefield, so many years later, Zhou Lang of Eastern Wu also had a secret when choosing the battlefield? Thinking of this, he asked casually, too, Guo Jia has never been to Jiangnan, how can he know about Sanjiangkou?

"It's okay, I just figured things out."

"Big brother, you are really. But then again, now that Yuan Shao's attack is imminent, big brother, you also have a great responsibility in Qingzhou. If you can cross the river from Qingzhou and threaten Yuan Shao's rear at that time, you can also help me relieve the pressure on the front line. ”

"Haha, to be honest, I went to Qingzhou this time, and my ultimate goal was in Yecheng. What does Bonghyo think? ”

"Yecheng? Big brother, you're not kidding, are you? ”

"Am I kidding about such a big thing? When Yuan Shao exhausted his army, Jizhou would inevitably be empty. As long as I take the Qingzhou soldiers and horses, what is the surprise attack on Yecheng. ”

Guo Jia couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this, and then said with a smile: "Big brother's idea is really good, once Yuan Shao knows that his old nest Yecheng is lost, the army will inevitably be in turmoil." It's just that if you want to really win Yecheng, I'm afraid it's not easy, big brother is so confident? ”

"You don't have faith in me?" Gao Ye asked with a smile.

"Anyway, the lord has already given you the right to make decisions on the spot, and if you want to attack Yecheng by surprise, then it's up to you." Guo Jia said with an indifferent face, "It's just that you and I are brothers, and I can't help but say some things." Big brother, don't forget, why do you have to marry Lu Fengxian's daughter to Zixiu's kid. ”

When Gao Ye heard this, his face was full of joy just now, and suddenly turned into nothing, and he looked at Guo Jia on the side and said, "You say, will there really be such a day?" ”

Guo Jia smiled when he heard this: "When the world is undecided, I don't think so." When the world is decided, the birds will be exhausted, and the good bow will be hidden! Big brother, if you are not careful now, I am afraid that you will leave disaster to your children and grandchildren, so you must guard against it. ”

When Gao Ye heard this, he just smiled self-deprecatingly: "The lord is not Gao Zu, and I am not the Marquis of Huaiyin." It is my life's wish to put an end to the war as soon as possible. Even if it really comes to that time, what if I learn to stay and retire to the rivers and lakes? ”
