Guo Tu's defense is obviously pale in color.

Will Yuan Shao bow his head to Cao Ying?

If Yuan Shao did not have an army of 400,000 troops, and did not have the territories of Jizhou, Qingzhou, Youzhou, and Bingzhou, then it would be reasonable for him to lower his voice and listen to Cao Ying's command, after all, his strength was limited, and he had to compromise and seek perfection.

But if Yuan Shao can be instructed by Cao Yingyi now, then he will really live up to the capital of the ancestors and the three princes who laid him the fourth generation.

The first half of Guo Tu's words can be ignored, and the second half of the words sound good, but they contain Yuan Shao's ambition to merge and surrender Guo Jia.

Guo Jia's expression changed, and his angry face smiled calmly again.

Such a change did not make Guo Tu's nerves relaxed, but became more nervous.

"Guo Tu, let me ask you, can I take refuge in your father-in-law now?"

Guo Jia returned to the table, sat down and asked softly.

The tense atmosphere dissipated in an instant.

When Guo Tu heard this, he was immediately speechless.

Yuan Shao only thought about surrendering Guo Jia, but he didn't think about the current situation, how could Guo Jia surrender?

The name of this battle was that the Son of Heaven issued an edict to let Guo Jia return to Yizhou, and Zhong Xuan came to guard Guanzhong.

If Guo Jia surrenders to Yuan Shao, who will Guanzhong fall into? As long as Zhong Xuan doesn't come to guard, it's still disrespectful.

Not only Guo Jia resisted the decree, but Yuan Shao also resisted the decree, and was even accused of conspiracy.

Yuan Shao respects his reputation, does he dare to do such an openly rebellious move?

Before he really broke up with Cao Ying in a life-and-death struggle, did Yuan Shao dare to blatantly oppose the Son of Heaven of the Han Dynasty?

The key is that Yuan Shao is ready for a decisive battle with Cao Ying?

Guo Tu was silent, and he himself fell into deep thought.

It doesn't seem to have been thought through.

If Yuan Shao is determined to fight to the death with Cao Ying, then now that Guo Jia has been surrendered, Yuan Shao can betray the alliance with Cao Ying at the risk of being spurned by the world, and give Cao Ying a heavy blow by surprise, or even directly destroy Cao Ying.

But Yuan Shao still has a small friendship with Cao Ying after all, and before he wants to turn his face, he must first persuade him to surrender, first salute and then soldier.

The monstrous Yuan Benchu had at least five points in his heart that he was strong and strong, and he was invincible, whether it was Guo Jia or Cao Ying, he would avoid war if he could surrender, after all, he was powerful and had the confidence to surrender the princes.

Since Yuan Shao has already led troops into Luoyang, it is impossible to fight or not, and the main question is who to fight.

As long as Yuan Shao hesitates, Guo Jia has an opportunity.

Just when Guo Tu was thinking of a compromise solution, Xu Shu, who had been watching silently, spoke.

"Lord Guo, with all due respect, my lord is saying that he will withdraw his troops back to Yizhou today and send Guanzhong away, may I ask, Zhong Miao came to guard Guanzhong, so what are the interests of your lord?"

Guo Tu was shocked.

In fact, whether it was Guo Tu, Yuan Shao or other strategists who worked for Yuan Shao, no one thought that Guo Jia would be caught or retreated.

Guo Jia, who finally defeated the Guanzhong, how could he spit out the meat that reached his mouth?

But in case, Guo Jiazhen retreated and returned to Yizhou.

Yuan Shaoxing's division moved the army to come, did he want to return in vain? The will of the Son of Heaven is that Zhong Xuan will guard the pass, since Yuan Shao sent Guo Tu to announce the edict, how can he go back on his word?

They expected that Guo Jia would not return to Yizhou, and from Yuan Shao's point of view, war was inevitable.

Guo Jia surrendered to him, and he beat Cao Ying.

If Guo Jia doesn't surrender, he will beat Guo Jia.

Guo Tu opened his mouth and stammered, wanting to speak and stopping.

He can't persuade Guo Jia not to quit the army, right?

He came to announce the edict, and the edict was to let Guo Jia withdraw from the army, did he want to give himself a slap in the face?

"To make the monarch wise and brave, he is a hero in the world, why not work together with my lord and do his best to help the world?"

Guo Tu had only one way to go, and that was to persuade Guo Jia to surrender to Yuan Shao.

He looked at Guo Jia, but Guo Jia smiled and smiled without saying a word.

Xu Shu, who was standing next to Guo Tu, continued to speak.

"Dare to ask Lord Guo, is it true that after my lord of my family repairs a letter to your lord, your lord will immediately suspend his army?"

Guo Tu did not open his mouth to let Guo Jia surrender, and his words were polite, and the deep meaning implied in it was tacitly understood by everyone.

Xu Shu pretended to be confused and got to the bottom of it.

If Guo Jia bows to Yuan Shao, it's very simple to make a appearance.

Guo Tu frowned and pondered.

If you want Yuan Shao to withdraw without a fight, it is impossible.

But Guo Jia's attitude is ambiguous, Guo Tu only knows that Guo Jia is angry with Cao Ying, but he doesn't know whether Guo Jia is willing to surrender to Yuan Shao.

Surrendering to Yuan Shao means helping Yuan Shao to sweep the Central Plains next.

"Lord Guo, if even you don't know what your father-in-law means, then how can I make my father-in-law make a decision? In the next opinion, your lord sent troops to Luoyang this time, but he suffered a big loss. ”

Xu Shu said gently.

Turning his head to Xu Shu with a suspicious expression, Guo Tu didn't ask the other party's name, and asked bluntly: "What does Your Excellency mean by this?" ”

Yuan Shao is indeed swaying, but it is also based on the changes in the current situation.

If Guo Tu got the information that Guo Jia would fight to the death from Guo Jia here today, then tomorrow Guo Tu would return to Luoyang and immediately instigate Yuan Shao to go to war.

The holy decree has already been issued, Guo Jia's decree is not respectful, and the name of the war has been held in the palm of his hand.

As for Yuan Shao, before he was defeated, how did he suffer a loss? Guo Tu didn't understand what Xu Shu meant.

In their opinion, this time Yuan Shao sent troops, and nine out of ten was to take Sizhou, including Guanzhong, and connect it with Bingzhou, forming a situation of entrapment in the Central Plains.

If the situation develops in the direction they expected, and Guo Jia surrenders to Yuan Shao, then Yuan Shao will attack the Central Plains after getting Guo Jia's soldiers and horses, and the north of the Yangtze River plus Yizhou, and Guanxi will all be Yuan Shao's, and they will dominate the world, and only Jingzhou, Yangzhou, and Jiaozhou will not be recovered.

If that time really comes, Liu Biao, Sun Ce, and Yuan Shu, can they still protect themselves? It is wise to surrender, and to refuse is to bring about your own destruction.

People who are too optimistic will always be happy and sad.

Xu Shu looked at Guo Tu gently, and said calmly: "Cao Ying, this person, is different from the outside, although he has good intentions for the referendum on your family master, he has hidden evil intentions. Today, my lord has returned to Yizhou, Cao Ying has obtained Guanzhong in the name of righteousness, my lord does not retreat, Cao Ying uses your lord to attack Guanzhong, although your lord has strong soldiers and strong generals, but the soldiers and horses under my lord are not shrimp soldiers and crab generals, the two tigers fight, there must be an injury, even if it is my lord who is injured, but how can your lord take Guanzhong safely? Even if it is won, your lord will expand his territory after succeeding the territory of the four states, but the strength of the soldiers and horses will be reduced, and Gongsun Zhan's battle line is too long and will be broken by your princess one by one, isn't Cao Ying also with this idea? Each territory is divided into troops and guarded, and the strength does not rise but falls, Cao Ying can easily divide the soldiers and horses of your lord, and then slowly figure it out. Lord Guo, sooner or later, your lord and Cao Ying will have a battle, but in the future, Cao Ying is already deploying a decisive battle with your lord. ”

Compared with the relaxed expressions of others, Guo Tu was so nervous that he broke out in a cold sweat.

Whether Xu Shu is alarmist or not, it is difficult to tell.

But it always makes sense.

Yuan Shao and Cao Ying may be destined to have a life-and-death battle.

If Yuan Shao hadn't been anxious to come to Guanzhong, the original strategy was that after Gongsun Zhan perished, he would have to surrender Cao Ying, and then make a choice between fighting or not fighting according to Cao Ying's reaction.

The two princes who once fought side by side and joined hands in the alliance must distinguish between the superior and the inferior in the pace of dominating the world, and if they refuse to submit, they will become kings and losers.

Xu Shu's words, Fu Zhu said, Tian Feng also said, Yuan Shao couldn't listen to it, and his confidence was overinflated by the victories in the past few years.

Guo Tu was naturally opposed to the other party's remarks because he was opposed to the faction of Tian Feng and others.

The same thing, Xu Shu said again.

The three of them became tigers, and all of them were golden.

Guo Tu calmed down and thought for himself.

Did Cao Ying really not have the intention of planning Yuan Shao?

However, Cao Ying is playing conspiracy, Yuan Shao's strength is strong, let you conspire and conspire frequently, as long as you have the strength, you have nothing to fear.

Now Guo Tu understands.

Guo Jia does not fall!

also wants to bring trouble to the east and let Yuan Shao and Cao Ying fight.

That being the case, there is not much to say.

Let's go to war!

"I was only ordered to come to announce the edict, since the king is not subject to the Son of Heaven, I have nothing to say in the next, so I will leave, hoping that the king will do it himself."

Guo Tu left.

It's not that he doesn't try his best to persuade, but Guo Jia's attitude is already very clear.

Surrender is also divided into objects.

Vote for Cao Ying, it can be regarded as a loyal minister, Cao Ying said that after the arrogance wants to change the dynasty, the people of the world want to scold Cao Ying.

Invest in Yuan Shao, the teacher is unknown, and it can't solve the current crisis in Guanzhong.

As for whether Yuan Shao can sweep the Central Plains in a battle after Guo Jia's surrender, it is difficult to speculate, Guo Tu seems that Guo Jia is unwilling to follow Yuan Shao to risk the infamy of being stinking for thousands of years.

After Guo Tu left, Guo Jia laughed loudly.

Tang Chinese Wu also laughed heartily.

From Guo Tu coming with a proud expression to leaving in a gloomy manner, Guo Tu's wonderful expression and quick change of attitude are really hilarious.

"Lord, Guo Tu returned in vain, in front of Yuan Shao, he must find an excuse to shirk, either he refuses to surrender on the grounds that the lord has a tough attitude, or on the grounds that Cao Ying made a hindrance from it so that the lord cannot surrender."

Fa Zheng's words made Guo Jia nod in agreement.

Guo Jia said confidently: "Although Guo Tu didn't say a bad word against Cao Ying in front of us, when he returned to Yuan Shao's side, he would definitely pour bitter water and point the finger at Cao Ying." ”

Why is Guo Jia so confident?

Because Yuan Shao has shortcomings, but he is not a fool.

The holy decree was issued by Cao Ying in the name of the Son of Heaven, not Yuan Shao.

Guo Jia's attitude towards Yuan Shao in the past, and the grudge between Guo Jia and Cao Ying in Luoyang.

In Yuan Shao's opinion, Guo Jia can't hate him to the core, so he has a resolute attitude, and if he doesn't have the slightest intention of seeking peace, it doesn't conform to common sense.

Pointing the finger at Cao Ying, Yuan Shao will definitely believe it.

From the moment he sent out the troops, Yuan Shao knew that Cao Ying was not at ease, but he was strong and not afraid of any conspiracy.

As long as Yuan Shao and Cao Ying have always maintained a situation where they are in harmony and calculating each other, Guo Jia will have a higher chance of winning if he wants to defeat them.
