Seeing that Jingzhou was about to be wiped out, Liu Biao went from a variable that could change the pattern of the world to the point of being slaughtered in the blink of an eye.

He went from active to passive, giving the mastery of fate to his enemies.

He took the initiative to attack Yuan Shao, and he could get a good relationship with Guo Jia, and Yizhou and Jingzhou would maintain a peaceful relationship.

He took the initiative to attack Guo Jia, can ask Yuan Shao for credit, as long as Liu Biao is determined to attack Chengdu, Guo Jia in Guanzhong all strategic deployment will fall short, when Yuan Shao sits on half of the country, Liu Biao and Yuan Shao a south and a north, the world is reunified is said to be waiting.

It's a pity that Liu Biao not only wants to read, but also wants to protect himself, and his strategy of self-protection is the most inferior and can even be described as a cocoon and self-restraint.

Now, he can only passively wait for the results of the battle of Guanzhong, Guo Jiasheng, the crisis in Jingzhou will be automatically lifted, Guo Jia will be defeated, and Zhou Tai, who is eyeing Jingzhou outside, can only be regarded as a pioneer.

Kuai Liang said that the fate of Jingzhou is no longer under Liu Biao's control, which is the truth.

Even if Liu Biao adopts the strategy of the Northern Expedition, it only improves Guo Jia's chances of winning in Guanzhong, but it does not mean that Guo Jia will definitely win, especially now in the eyes of outsiders, Guo Jia took the initiative to give up Hangu Pass, which is obviously a posture of withdrawing troops from Guanzhong.

If Hangu Pass is taken by Liu Biao, Yuan Shao will not be able to sit still, he can ask for help, as long as he supports the arrival of reinforcements from Hebei, Liu Biao's capture of Hangu Pass will be flanked by Yuan Shao before and after.

Although Hangu Pass is the choke point of Guanzhong, it does not mean that there is no other road feasible from Guanzhong to Kanto.

It's just that you need to cross mountains and mountains and wade through treacherous rivers.

This kind of geographical situation can be compared with specific examples, just like Zhuge Liang's Northern Expedition, the army can go to the old road or out of Qishan, the meridian road can go, but it is too dangerous, Wei Yan asked Zhuge Liang for soldiers and horses, can only ask for 10,000 elites, too much is not conducive to the march, and the damage on the road will be very heavy, in other words, the meridian road is a dangerous road, thousands of people can walk, but tens of thousands of people can't go.

Deng Ai destroyed Shu and took the Yinping road, he had tens of thousands of troops, but he could only take thousands of people over the mountains and mountains, and finally unexpectedly arrived in Chengdu.

Therefore, if Hangu Pass is lost, Yuan Shao is not a dead end, he can send thousands of people to make a detour back to Hebei for help, and his army can only wait for reinforcements, and the news can be sent.

Kuai Yue's strategy did not have any suggestions for a decisive battle with Zhou Tai, not that it could not be done, but that there were too many changes, and now the Taiping army was arrogant, and the morale of the Jingzhou army was low, even if one life was exchanged for another, Jingzhou could not afford to change it.

After Huang Zu was beheaded and Jingzhou's 50,000 troops buried 40,000, Jingzhou turned against the master and surrendered to slaughter.

The princes are based, and the strength of soldiers and horses is the foundation.

The Northern Expedition was very dangerous.

Liu Biao thought about it, and finally did not adopt the suggestion of the Northern Expedition, he did not dare to oppose Yuan Shao, Yuan Shao entered the pass and lost 100,000 soldiers, but he added the soldiers and horses of Hebei, and still had 300,000 troops!

After Guo Jia abandoned Hangu Pass, he obviously wanted to retreat.

Liu Biao didn't dare to put his net worth on Guo Jia's head, if he wanted to bet that Guo Jia would win, he would rather go out of the city to fight Zhou Tai.

There are three strategies, Liu Biao adopted the middle and lower strategies, and sent people to Zhou Tai to ask for peace on the one hand, and sent people to Wancheng in Nanyang to find Zhang Xiu for help.

With such a choice, Kuai Liang and Kuai Yue are full of bitterness and have nowhere to vent.

While begging for peace, he also asked for help.

If Zhou Tai and Zhang Xiu learned, wouldn't Liu Biao be unpleasing on both sides?

Why do you ask for help?

Why do you ask for peace?

Liu Biao's original intention may really be self-preservation, but his approach is like a sudden cold arrow in the eyes of others.

It's like if Zhou Tai withdrew his army, but Zhang Xiu came, did he plan to kill Zhou Tai by surprise?

If Zhang Xiu came to help, but Liu Biao made peace with Zhou Taiyan, could it be that the two families set up a bureau and waited for Zhang Xiu to throw himself into the net?

Anyway, Liu Biao's approach is not only insincere, but also shows a situation where he is playing conspiracy.

The Kuaiyue Kuailiang brothers didn't want to admit it very much, but they had to admit a fact.

Liu Biao, old.

Ordering Zhou Tai to enter Jingzhou was a retreat left by Guo Jia for himself, a strategic route to deal with the defeat in Guanzhong.

Whether Jingzhou is taken or not depends on the outcome of the Great War in Guanzhong.

Troops were sent out in the spring, and the decisive battle was at the beginning of summer.

After Ju Yi led the army to join Yuan Shao, Yuan Shao recuperated in Tongguan for ten days, and 100,000 male soldiers walked out of Tongguan under his personal leadership, went westward, approached Sanfu, and conquered Chang'an, and swept through Guanzhong.

The three military lives, in an orderly manner.

The front, middle and rear armies, the front army is the pioneer and is led by Yan Liang.

The Chinese army was the main force, commanded by Yuan Shao himself.

The rear army was to respond and escort grain and grass supplies, led by Zhang Jaw.

Although Zhang Jaw won the battle and conquered Hangu Pass, but because of Wen Chou's unexpected death, Yuan Shao didn't say it, but he had a little resentment against Zhang Jaw in his heart, maybe Yuan Shao thought that even if Zhang Jaw didn't persuade Wen Chou, he should at least accept Wen Chou, and he could save Wen Chou's life after Wen Chou's ambush.

Such a logistics force, even if Yuan Shao has no young generals available, the strategists under his command can be competent, Yuan Shao's official position is a general, he can have a military Sima, and it happens to be the official position often held by the strategists who value literature and light on military force.

Cao Ying only had 3,000 remnants left, still led by the Xiahou brothers, Yuan Shao wanted to sweep Guanzhong, and also took Cao Ying with him, not expecting Cao Ying to contribute, but to ensure that Cao Ying would not secretly interfere.

Leaving Tongguan, Cao Ying only took the Xiahou brothers, Xun You and Cheng Yu stayed in Tongguan.

Looking back at Tongguan gradually moving away, Cao Ying and Yuan Shao rode side by side, and the uneasiness in his heart became heavier and heavier.

A few days ago, Xun Yu sent an urgent report, persuading Cao Ying to return to Xudu as soon as possible.

There are two reasons, the Son of Heaven has asked Xun Yu several times about the recruitment of soldiers among the people, and it is obvious that the Son of Heaven has also begun to think actively, Cao Ying is not in Xuchang, and there is no one who can control the Son of Heaven.

What made Xun Yu even more worried was that Cao Ying followed Yuan Shao to attack Guanzhong, and the fortune and misfortune were unpredictable, and Xun Yu firmly thought that Cao Ying's trip was a big one!

Spreading rumors can be regarded as Guo Jia's trick, knowing that they are Guo Jia's masterminds behind the scenes, Cao Ying and Yuan Shao can only be designed, there is no way, people's words are terrible, and the mouth of the people is more important than the defense of Sichuan!

Knowing that Guanzhong is dangerous and there is a decisive battle in front of him, Cao Ying will not be afraid, but in essence, this is not his war, although it is beneficial to him.

Now, he is curious about what kind of tactics Guo Jia will use to defeat Yuan Shao.

Guo Jia only has more than 50,000 soldiers and horses, while Yuan Shao has 100,000!

Guo Jia, who has no geographical advantage, is very likely to win a narrow victory for Yuan Shao, it doesn't matter, as long as Yuan Shao wins, Guanzhong is Yuan Shao's!

Cao Ying intellectually drove him to leave, but Yuan Shao would not let him go, emotionally, Cao Ying wanted to stay, he didn't want to miss this big battle destined to go down in history!

Yuan Shao was expressionless on the horse, he saw Cao Ying's distraction, and said indifferently: "Could it be that Meng De is afraid?" Guo Jia sent the battle table yesterday, Meng De should also know about it. ”

Cao Ying saw that Yuan Shao's expression was indifferent, in fact, Yuan Shao was already angry in his heart, and Cao Ying was very sure of this.

Yesterday, Guo Jia sent someone to send a battle table!

"The general is like a meeting, and the general is invincible. Those who are close to admire the majesty of the general, have bathed and cleaned their hands, welcome the general, and I will hunt in the pass! ”

Guo Jia does not fall! Battle! Decisive battle!

After Yuan Shao saw this battle table, he unexpectedly showed a calm posture.

Guo Jia's battle table sounded humble, but it was actually very strong.

Yuan Shao sneered inwardly.

I'm hunting with you in Guanzhong?

What qualifications do you have!

Wen Chou's death, Guo Jia went to war, one by one, Yuan Shao couldn't wait to break Guo Jia's body into pieces.

After stepping into Guanzhong, Yuan Shao's next step is to sweep the Central Plains.

His goal was to bring the world back together.

He has such capital, but Guo Jia obviously doesn't have it yet.

Therefore, in Yuan Shao's eyes, although Guo Jia is the second largest prince in the world, he is still not on the same level as him.

This battle is a battle for Guo Jia to establish the status of the princes of the world, but for Yuan Shao, it is very likely to be a battle to defeat the country!

At this moment, Guo Jia had already left Zheng County, not retreating to Chang'an in the west, but taking a step forward and setting up camp in the Huayin area in the east.

As soon as Yuan Shao's army moved, Guo Jia got the news within a day.

The day of the decisive battle has finally arrived!

The preparations that should be made, the bureaus that should be laid out, are all ready.

Thousands of craftsmen and tens of thousands of laborers formed a long dragon team and slowly returned west, and Ma Jun, who had traveled thousands of miles from Hanzhong, also bid farewell to Guo Jia after all the projects were completed.

The inside and outside of the Huayin camp are extremely simple, and there are almost no fortifications.

In this big camp, Guo Jia does not defend the outside world, because there is no need.

Wearing armor and holding a sword, Guo Jia sacrificed to the heavens in the camp and held a swearing-in meeting for a decisive battle.

Zhang Liao, Xu Chu, Dian Wei, Gao Shun, Gan Ning, the five generals with the highest status and extraordinary prestige among the three armies under Guo Jia's command, stood side by side in front of the three armies, looking up at Guo Jia with his back to them, Guo Jia was sacrificing wine and burning incense, his movements were slow and methodical, bringing people not a heavy blood, no one would feel the burden from Guo Jia, but a kind of confidence in the upcoming decisive battle.

No matter which generals such as Zhang Liao, Gan Ning, and Yan Yan defeated which general of the enemy army before, and how many enemies they killed, these can be left behind.

The final decisive battle determines the height of Guo Jia's life and whether Yuan Shao can win the world.

Even, before the Battle of Guandu can determine the impact of the 100-year pattern of the world, this Battle of Guanzhong will determine the pattern of the Kansai region for at least 50 years.

And the protagonist of this battle must be Guo Jia, and the final victory or defeat must be led by him personally.

When Guo Jia sprinkled the wine dripping with his blood under the altar, he suddenly turned around, raised the sword in his hand, and shouted: "The three armies obey the order!" In this battle, he vowed to kill Yuan Shao and Cao Ying! ”

The officers and men of the whole army waved their weapons enthusiastically and shouted in response to Guo Jia.

Several generals standing in front of the army looked at Guo Jia's expressions, full of determination and fighting spirit.

Why don't you follow such a lord?

Everyone in the world is afraid of Yuan Shao, the overlord of Hebei, and Cao Ying, the hero of the Central Plains.

And Guo Jia is going to be defeated!
