After discussing with the people in the hall, Pang Shanmin wrote a letter to Cao Cao, and the letter said that when to fight, it was not what the prime minister said, if the prime minister wanted to fight, Jing Xiang would accompany him, but today everything was busy, and if he wanted to fight with the prime minister, he would hunt the autumn harvest.

After Cao Cao got Pang Shanmin's letter, he couldn't cry or laugh, and the benefits to Jingxiang were obvious in the autumn campaign, but for Cao Cao, the variables were quite large, and Pang Shanmin wanted to lead the army of the two states, take Runan directly, and force Xu Du with soldiers.

I thought that a victory would be a battle, and the situation in southern Ru was fixed, but Cao Cao didn't expect that this Pang Shanmin was so treacherous, and he dissolved Cao Cao's army to go out of the **, thinking of this, Cao Cao had a headache, and wanted to send a letter to Hebei to find Guo Jia to formulate countermeasures.

The letter has not yet been sent, but Guo Jia has a letter to arrive, Yan Yecheng has been broken, the imperial army has now divided Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang into two places, and the morale of the Yuan army has declined.

Cao Cao heard it, quite moved, but Jingxiang and Xiliang two road military horses disturbed Cao Cao has a headache, if the army Chang'an, Cao Cao is sure of it, a battle is decided, drive the Xiliang army and horses away, but if you lead the army to take Chang'an, Runan will lose, if you don't take Chang'an, wait for Ma Teng, Han Sui in Chang'an for several months, after a foothold, and then want to drive it, it will take a lot of effort.

is as strong as Cao Cao, and he fought at the same time with the three princes, and he was also unable to do it.

After thinking for a long time, Cao Cao thought that since Yecheng has now been decided, the Hebei army and horses are not to worry, so he can temporarily put down the Hebei strategy, defend Yecheng steadily, and watch Yuan Shao's heirs fight.

With a plan in his heart, Cao Cao sent a letter to Guo Jia, ordering him to hand over the military and political affairs of Hebei to Manchu to coordinate the overall situation, Li Dian, Le Jin supplemented him, and guarded the city pass, and Guo Jia and the people of the Pang Mountains have an old relationship, know their temperament, and at the moment in the Cao camp, they can be the enemy of Jingxiang, Guo Jia will not let it.

But a few days, Guo Jia returned, after learning about Jing Xiang's countermeasures, Guo Jia couldn't help laughing and scolding, under the account of Pang Shanmin, there are many treacherous people, it was that Jing Xiang wanted to take advantage of the fire to rob and harass Runan, but now in this Jing Xiang army, he actually changed his mind and made an appointment with Cao Cao to fight in the autumn.

Half a year, enough time for Jing Xiang and his princes to collude and form an alliance, on the surface, it is still Jing Xiang and the prime minister's army to confront each other, in fact, this combination of vertical and horizontal strategy has come out, under the rule of Cao Cao, I am afraid that it will be on all sides.

Guo Jia pondered for a long time in the Xiangfu Hall, shook his head slightly, and said to Cao Cao: "Lord, this battle must not disobey the will of the mountain people!" ”

When Cao Cao heard this, he thought so.

Now Xichuan, Jing Xiang meticulous work have come to report, under the rule of Pang Shanmin, the military horses are frequent, the Changsha veteran Huang Zhong, the general Wei Yan, Dong Heng, have led the military horses, returned to Jiangling, Xiangyang and other places, under the rule of Pang Shanmin, more than 100,000 troops can be used, most of them have returned to Jingzhou.

Cao Cao didn't think about it, so that Zhang Lu in Hanzhong attacked Xichuan and involved the energy of Pang Shanmin, but Cao Cao also knew that although this Zhang Lu was against Liu Zhang, it was difficult to defeat Fa Zheng, and the Sichuan land was dangerous.

Inadvertently, Cao Cao suddenly discovered that he, the leader of the princes in the world, can now be connected with many people, except for Zhang Lu, only Jiangdong and Jingxiang are adjacent, but Jiangdong has been defeated repeatedly, if Jiangdong is restrained Jingxiang, it is even more child's play.

It's just that Guo Jia doesn't think that Jiangdong is now weakened and doesn't even have the ability to contain Pang Shanmin, if Jiangdong fights, it also depends on whether Cao Cao can pay the benefits that make Jiangdong's heart move, Jiangdong has wanted to occupy Jiangxia many times but cannot, and the previous battle is even more of the old ministers in the army, the army is defeated, and the embarrassment is embarrassing, if Jiangdong and Jingxiang are gone, it is pure nonsense.

Guo Jia was silent in the hall for a long time, and Cao Cao did not dare to say anything to disturb, after a long time, Guo Jia sighed lightly and said to Cao Cao: "I heard that the mastermind of the mountain people's tent has wanted to get married, and Jia wants to go to Changsha in person to see what is going on." ”

Cao Cao couldn't help but be shocked when he heard this, and said to Guo Jia: "The gentleman does not stand under the dangerous wall, and now the people of that Pang Mountain have ambitions, and filial piety cannot be taken lightly from Xudu." ”

"The prime minister's words are also fallacious, that Pang Shanmin also had ambitions in the past, but now he is in charge of the land of Erzhou, and its momentum is greater, Guo Mou is here, one is to explore the changes in Jingxiang, to see how the mountain people have been governing for a year, whether they can have the capital to compete with the prime minister, and the other is to recount the old feelings, if Guo can say that he has stopped the army, so that the prime minister can deal with the Xiliang iron cavalry with peace of mind, it is also a good thing for the prime minister."

Guo Jia said it, and said with a proud smile: "Then Jiangdong Zhou Lang can enter and exit Jingxiang, if he walks on the ground, Guo can also, the mountain people are not unauthorized to kill, Guo can be safe!" ”

Cao Cao was speechless for a long time when he heard this, although Guo Jia was good friends with Pang Shanmin, Cao Cao knew that he was sincere, so he naturally would not betray, but Guo Jia had just returned from Hebei non-stop, and he was going to Jingxiang again.

And Cao Cao thought that Guo Jia was very likely to return in vain, and Pang Shanmin's ambition was obvious, so how could he change his mind because of Guo Jia's persuasion? Jing, Yi Erzhou military horse mobilization, Guo Jia is gone, and can not change the current situation, and Pang Shanmin to fight for Runan, is a battle in the autumn, Cao Cao is not afraid, when the official crossing, Cao Cao's situation is worse, not the same persisted, Cao Cao is now, only afraid that Guo Jia will lose.

Thousands of troops are easy to obtain, but one general is hard to find. And Guo Jia is Cao Cao's mastermind, Jiangdong's internal affairs Zhang Zhao, foreign affairs Zhou Lang, this Xu Du is now, just like Jiangdong, internal affairs Xun Yu, foreign affairs Guo Jia, Cao Cao has wanted to entrust his clan affairs to Guo Jia after a hundred years, how can Guo Jia easily get into danger?

Thinking of this, Cao Cao was categorical and said to Guo Jia: "Filial piety is not allowed!" For the rest of the things, Cao can discuss with Fengxiao, but the only thing to go to Changsha is to listen to Cao's decision! ”

When Guo Jia heard this, he was moved in his heart, but he said quietly on his face: "The lord is worried, how can Jia not know, but for this occasion, Jia has no choice, to Jia Guanzhi, since Liu Bei was expelled from Runan, he was attached to Xiliang, and his popularity was ruined, and he was not afraid in the future, and this Pang Shanmin, Jia is now difficult to see through, Jingxiang has developed rapidly in the past two years, and there are many strange things, that is, under the rule of the prime minister, the officials rule the Qingming, and the soldiers use their lives, but the land governed by the prime minister is far less rich than Jingxiang. ”

Seeing that Cao Cao was silent, Guo Jia smiled and said: "So Guo wants to go to Changsha again, and then explore the truth, if Jia can know why Jing Xiang has such a change, it is a little dangerous, and Jia should also ignore it!" ”
