Chapter 609: Fire in the Backyard

As soon as the words turned, Guo Jia's eyes showed a bit of strangeness, "This person is also from Zhang Yuan's doorman, but his strength is surprisingly strong, Zhou Yu attacked Yuan Shang's sphere of influence from the road before, the situation was very good, but he drove this Waiyue Fei back to the road, there is this person to guard Shouchun, even if the little overlord personally goes out, if he wants to capture Shouchun in a short time, I am afraid that it is not realistic."

Cao Cao's face became even more ugly, and his brows were also deep.

Seeing this, Guo Jia smiled with relief: "But the king doesn't need to worry too much, after all, Zhang Yuan is fighting on several fronts at the same time, with the material resources of the Central Plains, and my five countries, sooner or later we will be powerless, as long as we drag it out, it will be beneficial to us to prosper, I believe that as long as Sun Ce is given enough time, Shouchun will definitely make a breakthrough." ”

With his words, Fang Shi swept away the haze in Cao Cao's heart, making his face turn from gloomy to sunny.

After a moment of silence, the corners of Cao Cao's mouth hooked a sneer, "Feng Xiao's words are reasonable, this king doesn't believe that he really has three heads and six arms, and he can single-handedly take on the world's heroes, he wants to consume, and this king will accompany him to consume it, and see who consumes it first." ”

In the king's tent, the unpleasant atmosphere was swept away, and the confidence of Cao Ying's monarchs and ministers burned again.

"Newspaper-Guanzhong Urgent Report-" At this moment, the exclamation of the rebuke interrupted the pleasant atmosphere.

Guanzhong urgent?

Cao Cao's heart shook slightly, thinking that something was wrong with Tongguan.

When Cao Cao withdrew the troops of Hanguguan and moved to Yuan Shang's sphere of influence, in order to prevent Lan Yu from leading the army to take the opportunity to counterattack, he left the lord Cao Ang, and fiercely guarded Tong Pass with Xu Huang to resist Lan Yu's attack.

"Tongguan is impregnable, and there is a safe general like Xu Gongming to help Min'er hold on, what kind of chaos can happen." Cao Cao frowned and shouted.

Rebuke Wen said in a trembling voice: "King Yu, it's not Tongguan who has a problem, it's Hanzhong." ”

Hanzhong!

Cao Cao's face changed, and his thoughts flew in his mind in an instant, and he suddenly seemed to have guessed something.

"Could it be that Liu Zhang is restless?" Guo Jia's face also sank.

"Hanzhong urgent report, Liu Zhang has been a few days ago to do the Liang army, together with the soldiers of the Di people, invaded my Hanzhong, now the enemy army is rushing to attack Yangcheng Pass, Liu Zhang's troops are very sharp, General Xia Wen is struggling to defend the palace, and the special urgent report to the king for help."

Boom Boom –

A thunderbolt slashed into the tent of the Sui Dynasty, shocking the monarchs and ministers of the Sui Dynasty to mutiniate in an instant, and the pleasant atmosphere was swept away, and it was replaced by shock in an instant.

Whether it was Cao Cao or Guo Jia, no one thought that Liu Zhang, who had been silent, would choose to stab them in the back at this juncture.

Cao Cao was shocked for a moment, and suddenly a hint of strange color flashed in his eyes, remembering what Zhang Yuan said when he met with Zhang Yuan alone half a month ago.

Zhang Yuan arrogantly declared that he expected that he would retreat without a fight within twenty days.

At that time, Cao Cao mistakenly thought that Zhang Yuan was just deliberately boasting about the intersection in order to fight over words, but he didn't expect that it would really become a fact.

"This king understands, Zhang Yuan, this kid, must have sent a lobbyist to sneak to Liang State, saying that Liu Zhang was moved to send troops to Hanzhong and threaten my flank and rear." Cao Cao Tie's face was blue and he said in a deep voice.

The ministers were shocked, and suddenly realized.

"Before, we all thought that Liu Zhang was the lord of the weak, and then the attack on Liang failed, only to know that Liu Zhang was deliberately showing weakness, but in fact he is also a hero, with Liu Zhang's knowledge, even if he wants to seize Hanzhong, he should choose us to kill Zhang Yuan to the death, and send troops when both are defeated, how can he choose this time to soldier, didn't he only help Zhang Yuan alone?" Liu Ye questioned.

"......" Guo Jia said meaningfully: "Unless Zhang Yuan sends a top lobbyist, he can persuade Liu Zhang to choose not the most beneficial for himself, but the most beneficial time for Zhang Yuan to send troops to commit my Hanzhong." ”

Top lobbyist?

Liu Ye was stunned at first, and then suddenly realized, "I heard that under Zhang Yuan's command, there is a lobbyist named Touch Long, who claims to have a three-inch tongue, and he has lobbied Han Sui to attack Chang'an several times for Zhang Yuan several times, forcing us to withdraw at a critical moment. ”

The name of the dragon appeared for the first time in the heated discussion of the monarchs and ministers of the Sui Dynasty, which amazed the heroes.

"Touching the Dragon...... Such an immortal lobbyist can even be used by Zhang Yuan, Zhang Yuan, Zhang Yuan, how many strange people and strange people do you still have in your hands......"

Cao Cao gritted his teeth slightly, and secretly sighed, his eyes were both disgusted and a little jealous and envious.

"No matter who persuaded Liu Zhang, I'm afraid we will have to retreat." Guo Jia let out a helpless sigh, interrupting everyone's heated discussion and exclamation about the dragon.

Bang!

Cao Cao's fist slammed into the case table, his brows were deeply locked, and his face was burning with hatred and anger, and he gritted his teeth and said: "This God-given great opportunity to annihilate Zhang Yuan, how can this king give up Yang Xin like this!" ”

Joining forces with the world's heroes to besiege Zhang Yuan, such an excellent opportunity is indeed a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

If Cao Cao withdraws from the army, it will be tantamount to his dream of returning to the Central Plains, which will once again be disappointed.

Moreover, he retreated like this, with only Liu Bei and Yuan Shang's soldiers and horses, there was little chance of stopping Zhang Yuanshi, and the fall of the lord was probably inevitable.

Once the lord was overthrown, and Yuan Shang's sphere of influence was attributed to the Zhou state, Zhang Yuan was equivalent to hanging a sharp knife on his side.

At that time, as long as the time was ripe, Zhang Yuan could attack his Sui Dynasty from Nanyang, Luoyang, and Hedong at the same time.

"With Xia Wen Miaocai's character, if the situation is not critical, I am afraid he will never ask the king for help, Yangcheng Pass is the key to Hanzhong, once lost, Hanzhong will be in danger, if Hanzhong is lost, then Liu Zhang's Liang army can penetrate the Xingzhao Mountains, attack Guanzhong in one fell swoop, and even directly threaten Chang'an, and the main force of our army has poured out, Chang'an is empty, and there is almost no ability to defend it." Guo Jia saw that Cao Cao didn't want to withdraw his troops, so he analyzed and reminded.

Liu Ye was also busy saying: "Feng Xiao's words are reasonable, if our army withdraws now, Liu Bei and Yuan Shang will work together, and Zhang can hold out for a few days, and after we repel Liu Zhang, it will not be too late to return to help Yueyang." ”

Cao Cao was silent, and the look of Buyang in his eyes came and went, and gradually all of them were replaced by helpless Zhong.

Shen Yin weighed Zhang Jiu, Cao Cao exhaled deeply, and said in a deep voice: "That's it, pass the order, the whole army will immediately pull out the camp and return to the south, go to save Yangcheng Pass, and when it is Liu Zhang's house that is repulsed, come back and clean up Zhang Yuan."

The order was handed down, and tens of thousands of Cao troops quietly left the camp that night, and retreated south under the cover of night.

……

Northeast of Yueyang City, the camp of the Youjun Army.

"What? Gongsun Du, how dare you offend me in Liangzhou? ”

In the king's tent, a roar of shock and annoyance sounded, and Liu Bei had already jumped up, his gray face full of anger.
