"Since I learned the news, I sent a spy to inquire about the news, it didn't take long, but I also knew a lot of news, and I can be sure that the Wu army transferred at least one army of the Western Expeditionary Corps from the Western Regions back to the Central Plains, and nearly 50,000 of them joined the battle."

"Actually, there are not many soldiers and horses, but at this juncture, they have become the last straw that crushes us!"

Jia Xu raised his head, looked at Guo Jia, and said in detail what information he knew: "The soldiers and horses that appeared in Gucheng are only the vanguard army, although they were blocked by Xu Huang, but Xu Huang's soldiers and horses can't stop them for long, Puyang will be a bloody battle, and the main commander who led the soldiers of the Western Expeditionary Army to break through Xiao Pass is Sun Ce, after he broke through Xiao Pass, the soldiers were divided into two roads, all the way north, all the way into Yuzhou, and tens of thousands of soldiers who entered Yuzhou, have forced Liang County, will soon enter Chen County, and then force into Yingchuan, Sun Ce has been brave since he was a child, Although he broke his arm in the Battle of Guanzhong the year before last, he was domineering and did not lose it, I am afraid that it will not be long before he enters Yuzhou, or takes Dongjun, then our entire defense on the east and east fronts will collapse! ”

Jia Xu paused as he spoke, and then added, "Taishan County Zang Ba and his right mountain guard are probably going to be wiped out this time!" ”

Xiao Guan is lost, and there is no natural danger in Yanzhou and Yuzhou, and they can drive straight in.

As long as they take Yanzhou, under the current environment of Jizhou, Qingzhou and Taishan County will be hanging out.

The battlefields of Qingzhou and Mount Tai will fall into a heavy siege, so Zang Ba will definitely be defeated. ，

"Xiao Guan's problem is no longer a Qingzhou problem, nor is it Zang Ba's problem alone!"

When Guo Jia heard this, he trembled with grief and indignation in his heart, and only recovered after half a ring. He couldn't help but sigh, his spirit was in a breath, as if he was dozens of years old, and said in a hoarse voice: "We have lost this battle, and there is a problem in Yanzhou." That is, the entire Kanto region can't be saved, even if we promise to defend Runan, we can't stay in Yuzhou! ”

"Maybe we still have hope!"

When Jia Xu heard this, his expression was silent.

His wisdom naturally wouldn't fail to think of this, but he was still a little lucky now: "In fact, as long as we can destroy the Central Army of Eastern Wu in the shortest possible time, it will be equivalent to severely damaging the entire Wu Army's Northern Expedition offensive, and we still have a chance to keep Yuzhou!" ”

"Hehe, you're just deceiving yourself. Let's not talk about whether we can successfully destroy the entire Central Army, even if we succeed in this battle, we may face defeat in the end! ”

Guo Jia calmed down, his thoughts had become extremely calm at this moment, and he analyzed carefully: "Yanzhou and Yuzhou are connected in one vein, whether they lose Yanzhou or are penetrated by them into Yingchuan, Yuzhou. is equivalent to losing the back road, can Yuzhou be able to keep it at that time?

The Nine Great Legions of Soochow. Even if the Central Army was severely defeated, it only broke their fingers, and it only hurt their vitality, not the foundation!

With the national strength of Eastern Wu, can't anyone be drawn to encircle and suppress us? ”

"I'm just not reconciled!" When Jia Xu heard this, his face was bitter. Road.

"If you lose, you lose, we have to admit defeat in order to turn defeat into victory, even if we lose Kanto, so what. Hundreds of years ago, there was a country of Great Qin, which won the world in Guanzhong, and now our Great Wei, regardless of the national strength and territory, is still above the former Great Qin, even if there is no Kanto, our Great Wei is still about neutralization and coolness, much stronger than the former Qin State, lose a game, we haven't lost yet, we still have a chance! ”

Guo Jia gritted his teeth, his handsome face was a little hideous, but there was a touch of resolute fortitude under the hideousness: "Now that the situation is like this, I admit it, but I can't escape back so gloomily, the plan remains the same, and destroy the Central Army!" ”

"Since you have decided, then I will do it myself to block Lu Bu from going north to Shangcai!" Jia Xu said.

"Where did you get your troops?" Guo Jia asked.

"Isn't there still a force on the right guard?" Jia Xu controls the ghost pawns and can keep the latest news thousands of miles away, so he naturally knows the process of the Yang'an Campaign: "Wang Xiu is cautious, his troops are well preserved, of course, he alone can't stop Lu Bu, but I personally take charge of the army, and I can hold him back!" ”

"You're in charge of the army yourself?" Guo Jia frowned.

"I need your military orders, extraordinary times, extraordinary means!"

"Good!" Guo Jia nodded, and personally ordered the personal guard to expedite the eight hundred miles, and conveyed it to Wang Xiu's army near Yang'an.

"Blocking Lu Bu from going north is already the limit!" Jia Xu glanced at Guo Jia: "The rest of the matter is up to you!" ”

After speaking, he left the camp and walked in the direction of Guanyang without stopping.

"Come on, immediately let His Royal Highness the Crown Prince come to Zhongying to see me!"

Guo Jia sorted out his mood, his eyes became sharp, and his whole temperament became a little resolute.

"No!"

When several guards outside the camp heard this, they immediately went to report to Cao Ang, and in less than a quarter of an hour, the crown prince Cao Ang returned to the camp in a dusty manner.

"Lord Taiwei, have you thought of a strategy to deal with Lu Bu?" Cao Ang asked very concentratingly.

"Lu Bu's danger, someone will stop it, don't worry!"

Guo Jia looked at Cao Ang and said, "Your Royal Highness the Prince, there is something in a certain family that needs you to do it personally. ”

"What's the matter?"

Although Cao Ang was a little confused in his heart, he still hurriedly gave up his hands and stood by: "Please give orders to Lord Taiwei!" ”

In the barracks, although he Cao Ang was the crown prince at the beginning, he knew very well in his heart that now the entire battle situation in Runan was decided by the captain Guo Jia, and only Guo Jia could stabilize the morale of the army and stabilize the battle situation.

"You return to Xudu immediately!"

Guo Jia walked up, whispered in his ear: "Then gather the young and strong in Xudu, prepare to retreat to Bishui Pass, establish a strong defense line in Bishui Pass, and then move the people of the entire Yingchuan County into Guanzhong for me, and empty the property and food one by one!" ”

"What?"

When Cao Ang heard this, he was taken aback, his eyes widened, and he looked at Guo Jia in disbelief: "Lord Taiwei, why is this?" ”

"Why?"

Guo Jia smiled bitterly, his expression was gloomy, and he said quietly: "Because we can't keep Yuzhou, we have to withdraw to Guanzhong and preserve our strength!" ”

"Lord Lieutenant. The big war is coming, why are you so negative? ”

When Cao Ang heard this, he was angry in his heart, and couldn't help but say loudly.

"Haha, you'll soon see why I'm so negative!"

Guo Jia said calmly: "But now I don't have time to analyze with you, you can only listen to me." Now return to Xudu immediately, and then move the people and move Yingchuan, Chen Qun is stabilizing Yingchuan, Yuzhou Thorn Shi Manzhong has a high prestige in Yingchuan, the two of them can help you, within ten days, it must be completed. ”

Yingchuan is the core of Yuzhou and the core of the Great Wei. Whether it is the people or the property, it is a lovely amount, and he can't leave these things to Dongwu, that will only enhance the strength of Dongwu.

"I'm not going!"

Cao Ang said a little willfully: "My big Wei boy, but I died on the battlefield, how can I be so greedy for life and afraid of death!" ”

"Your Royal Highness the Prince, this is not Luoyang City. If you just disobey, I will dare to kill you. With the right military law! ”

Guo Jia was awe-inspiring and took out a gold medal: "This is Your Majesty's holy order, I, Guo Fengxiao, rank in the position of a captain, and have the right to control all military orders of the three armies, anyone who does not obey military orders can be killed!" ”

"You?" Cao Ang heard this. I couldn't help but feel a chill in my heart, Guo Jia was really moving.

"Do you carry out military orders, or do you disobey military orders?"

"The last general obeys!"

Cao Ang looked at the indifference of Guo Jia's face, gritted his teeth, and lowered the arrogant head of the main general. Reluctant to take the order.

"Guo Heng!" Guo Jia drank.

"In!"

Guo Heng, the leader of the guards outside the camp gate, walked in and stood by.

"You lead three hundred soldiers, and return to Xudu with His Royal Highness the Prince, if he disobeys, he will be executed on the spot, and he is not allowed to report it!"

Guo Jia said very politely.

"No!" Guo Heng is the strongest guard by Guo Jia's side, born as a ranger, Guo Jia's general, listening to Guo Jia's order, after he received the military order, he immediately stepped forward and said respectfully: "His Royal Highness the Prince, please!" ”

"Lord Taiwei, take care of yourself!"

Cao Ang took a deep breath, although he didn't know why, but he knew very well that this battle was dangerous, and Guo Jia would not harm him.

"His Royal Highness the Prince, for the sake of the future of Great Wei, you must empty the entire Yingchuan!" Guo Jia instructed.

"Yes!"

Cao Ang nodded, and under the escort of Guo Heng and others, he left the camp.

"Someone!"

Watching Cao Ang leave, Guo Jia's eyes became shy.

"In!"

"Immediately give Du Xianchuan a military order, tell him that in five days, the embankment will be broken immediately, and I will flood Runan!"

Guo Jia's eyes crossed with a fierce determination.

He knew very well that this order would make the entire Runan County miserable, with thousands of casualties, but in order to take the Central Army and thwart the offensive of Eastern Wu, he had been preparing for more than a month, and he had already done it at any cost.

"No!"

When a personal guard heard this, he nodded and left, and went upstream to give the order.

……

A junction between Yingchuan and Runan.

This is the upstream of Caishui, and it is also the location where the Huai River flows through, and it is also the staggered place of the lower reaches of Yingshui, and the rivers around here are wide, forming a large lake.

I don't know when, a dam was built, like an iron wall, blocking the downstream position, and the water rose more than ten zhang high, and it has become a lake.

The shape of the entire embankment is like a giant beast in a deep voice, and it does not know when it will open its mouth.

"My lord, the levee is overflowing again today, and we will strengthen it."

The lieutenant walked up to the embankment, looked at the stored pool of water, and felt a touch of horror in his heart.

If the levee breaks, many people will die.

"How many days has it rained since June?"

Du Xun wore a Confucian robe, standing on the shore, civil and elegant, with his hands behind his back, and his voice was faint.

This time he personally supported the storage of water, he knew that he would be stinking for 10,000 years, but he was willing, just for the sake of the Great Wei Dynasty.

"Seven days!"

"It's not enough, the amount of water is still a little insufficient, Bai Jie, you lead an army of five hundred, and within two days, open up the tributary of the Huaishui River in the northeast corner, and the water of the Qingping River, a tributary of the Huaishui, is brought in, and this embankment is being raised three zhang!"

Du Xi's voice was resolute and irrefutable.

"My lord, if you introduce the Qingping River and raise the embankment, the water storage will increase by at least one-third, and once the embankment bursts, many people will die!" Captain Bai Jie trembled all over.

"The military order is like a mountain!"

Du Xi closed his eyes and said calmly.

"No!" Bai Jie gritted his teeth and took the order.

"Lord Taiwei, I hope you're right!" Du Xun opened his eyes, looked at the rippling water, and muttered.

"My lord, the military order of the captain!"

"Say!" Du Xun's eyes burst with essence.

"Five days later, the levee will burst and the flood will be released!"

The herald guard came up and passed this top-secret military order in a small voice in Du Xian's ear. (To be continued.) )
