Xun Yu was silent for a moment, and then said in a deep voice: "Lord, things have come to this point, we can't help but make some sacrifices, if we want to merge the two states and Sizhou to protect them at the moment, it seems impossible, because our soldiers and horses are all restrained by Ma Shoucheng and Han Wen for the time being, and we can't be separated at all." Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

However, if we lose the car and only protect Sizhou, I guess we can still withstand it, so according to the current situation, we can only transfer the generals and generals, let him return to Sizhou immediately with all the soldiers and horses, and defend Liu Xuande's offensive at the border pass, so as to delay time.

On the other side, let's step up the offensive here, launch the final attack on Ma Shoucheng and Han Wenyue, and eliminate them as soon as possible, from then on, Xiliang's border troubles are also easily solved, and at the same time, a capable general will be sent to command the army directly into Xiliang, and Xiliang will be included in his command, and at the same time, the lord will lead the army again, and join with Zihe and the general to resist Liu Xuande, and this matter can be done! ”

After Cao Cao listened to Xun Yu's words, his heart couldn't help but sink, and the state was captured at a great cost, and now just because of one of his mistakes, he has to let Cao Cao give all the money to the state, and spend such a big price to pay for a mistake, Cao Cao's heart is still extremely unwilling.

So Cao Cao turned his heart to Xun Yu and asked, "Wen Ruo, isn't there any other way?" How important is the strategic position of the state, in order to get it, we not only lost how many soldiers and horses, but also how many manpower, material and financial resources were paid, before we took the state, and now let me give it away, where am I willing to give it away? ”

Xun Yu sighed, shook his head, and explained to Cao Cao: "Lord, can I not know what you mean?" I also understand your thoughts very well, but the current situation is in front of us, Liu Xuande led several armies to attack from Jizhou and Yanzhou, and the length of this front is also beyond our expectations.

If you only rely on the soldiers and horses on the border of Sizhou and the state to disperse the resistance, the odds of victory are still not great, after all, there are too many soldiers and horses under the command of Liu Xuande, and they are well-trained, and their combat ability is also very terrifying.

If we want to keep Sizhou and resist Liu Xuande's attack this time, we must gather people one by one, pull them to the territory of Sizhou together, let them garrison troops and various fortresses, desperately guard there, and buy us time, and when the Xiliang army here is dealt with, we will take the army to fight back, in that case, Liu Xuande can be repelled safely! ”

Cao Cao listened to Xun Yu's words, his body couldn't help but tremble, he slowly took a few steps back, and his body suddenly leaned in front of the chair behind him, and then he sat down calmly, his eyes staring straight ahead, his eyes were a little empty and disappointed.

At the end, Cao Cao muttered reluctantly: "Is this the only move that can be taken?" Do I really want to atone for the bitter fruit I have planted with my own hands? The gains and losses of the state were all caused by me, and the results I spent so much in exchange for were given to Liu Xuande in vain, how could I be willing? ”

Xun Yu saw Cao Cao's appearance of gains and losses, and he also knew in his heart that Cao Cao was entangled and annoyed about the affairs of the state, but there was no turning back when he opened the bow, and the current situation forced him, how could he allow Cao Cao to hesitate again? However, Cao Cao is the soul of Cao Jiajun after all, and Xun Yu still has to put a lot of effort into doing his job.

So Xun Yu paused, his eyes rolled, and he thought of a good reason in his heart: "Lord, I live until you are reluctant to give up the hard-won annexation of the state, and you can't bear to abandon the thousands of people in the annexation state, but when things come to this point, the lord must make a decision immediately!"

But then again, as the saying goes, there must be gains and losses, and there must be gains and losses, and the lord may lose the merger of the state in desperation today, but what we are going to get is the entire Yongzhou and Xiliang, and the exchange of two large states for a merger is not a bad thing! ”

Cao Cao was really pulled back to reality by Xun Yu's words, Xun Yu's simple account can be described as a thorough, losing a merger is enough to make Cao Cao very heartbroken, but getting two states and counties makes Cao Cao's heart suddenly brighten.

Cao Cao's heart carefully calculated, this account can still be drawn, Cao Cao carefully calculated, the reason why he thinks that this account can be drawn, is because of the geographical location of the state, and the state is located in the south of Sizhou, and Jizhou is closely connected.

In the west of Bingzhou, the Xiongnu are closely connected, and the location of Bingzhou is actually a little difficult for Cao Cao to defend, because he has to directly confront Liu Jing on the one hand, and beware of the Xiongnu in the west on the other hand, and Bingzhou is sandwiched in the middle, but it is a little weak.

But Yongzhou and Xiliang are completely different, south of Yongzhou is Yizhou, which is under the rule of Liu Yan, although Liu Yan is a little treacherous, but this person's ability is a little poor, and Liu Yan's account, there is no too powerful Wenchen general.

Liu Yan's subordinates, the number of cadres, is the veteran Yan Yan, and the strategists are only limited to Fa Zheng, Zhang Song, and Meng Da, and if you look deeper, Liu Yan is just a tiger made of paper, and this statement may not be very valid for others, but for Cao Cao, Liu Yan still does not have much lethality.

Therefore, after thinking about it, Cao Cao also felt that it was more cost-effective to exchange one state for Yongzhou and Xiliang.

The haze in Cao Cao's heart was swept away by Xun Yu's words, Cao Cao regained his spirit, and then he raised his head and said to Xun Yu: "Wen Ruo's words can be said to be a kind of enlightenment, and a word wakes up the person in the dream."

If it weren't for Wen Ruo's tactful persuasion, maybe I would still be immersed in the pain of losing and merging states and reincarnating all the time and unable to extricate myself, your words are good, there will be gains and losses, with a relatively barren merger state, in exchange for two big states, this exchange is worth it, it is worth it! ”

Xun Yu saw that Cao Cao had already thought about it, so he sighed secretly, and finally breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, when the matter came here, it was much easier to do, Xun Yu also immediately suggested: "Lord, it is imperative to send a secret letter to Zihe and the general, and ask him to immediately return to Sizhou from Bingzhou with a large team of men and horses to support the brothers who resisted Liu Xuande's army!" ”

Cao Cao nodded, and said in response: "Yes, at present, the three places of Chaoge, Muye, and Guandu are the focus of our defense, and the soldiers of these cities are guarding more hard, if Zihe can wish them a hand, maybe, Liu Xuande may really not be able to get in!" ”
