"Venda, it's a pity ......"

Yang'an battalion, full of regret when he learned that Li Tong died under Wang Chong's gun.

Li Tong has good ability, dare to fight and dare to rush, is really a rare brave general, but in terms of competitiveness, it seems too strong, when Li Tong proposed to lead the troops to ambush Jinfan, full of favor is to oppose it, because Wang Chong is thoughtful, how can he be so easy to deal with?

Li Tong's answer was very simple: "Yang'an, the small city, there are only a few hundred soldiers, and there is only one general at the end, so Wang Chong still doesn't know that my Runan army has gathered here, how can he be prepared?" ”

At that time, Manzhong had not yet received Cao Cao's order to let him defend it, so he was persuaded by Li Tong and directly gave Li Tong 3,000 soldiers and horses.

Facts have proved that Li Tong's judgment was not wrong, Wang Chong was careless, but who would have thought that Li Tong would go one step further to provoke Wang Chong, and not only lost the victory in hand, but also put his own life into it.

Wen Wu is the first, Wu Wu is the second, Wang Chong's bravery is known to the world, and Man Chong can understand Li Tong's desire to defeat Wang Chong, but it does not mean that he will approve of Li Tong's reckless move.

There is no vanity under the fame, the reason why Wang Chong was able to occupy Huainan was completely relying on his own ability to fight with a knife and a gun, Li Tong's martial arts could only be regarded as above average under Cao Cao, just with him, how could he defeat Wang Chong, who had been through a hundred battles?

At this time, Man Chong was actively mobilizing troops and horses to prepare for the war, because according to his original guess, after Wang Chong learned the news of his arrival here, he would definitely launch a strong attack before Cao Cao led the army to arrive, otherwise he would have no chance of surviving if he was caught in a two-sided attack.

However, when the news came from the front that Wang Chong chose to camp on the spot, Manzhong was dumbfounded, which ...... How so? What does Wang Chong want to do? Waiting to die?

Like Man Chong, Cao Cao, who was chasing after Jin Fan, was also puzzled when he learned of this: "Fengxiao, what trick do you say Wang Shaolin wants to play this time?" Don't you want to drag our army out of food and grass? ”

"Impossible!" Guo Jia shook his head, "This is Runan, the grain and grass in our army can still last for three days, and these three days are enough for us to transfer new grain from Xudu, with Wang Chong's wisdom, how can we fight with each other here to consume?" ”

"Then he wants to ......"

“…… Lord, maybe this time...... You're really going to have to make a big decision! Guo Jia thought about it and said with a solemn face, "In Jia's opinion, Wang Chong didn't want to play any conspiracy with us this time, but simply wanted to delay time!" ”

"Procrastinating?"

Guo Jia let out an 'ah', squinted his eyes and said, "That's right, he's waiting for reinforcements!" ”

Cao Cao's pupils shrank: "Huainan reinforcements!?" ”

Guo Jia took a deep breath, nodded and said: "Runan and Huainan are adjacent, Wang Chong only needs to go to Huainan to write a letter, and the Jinfan army will be able to enter Runan within a few days. ”

"Shhhh ”

"That's why Jiacai said that the Lord Justice is facing a major choice!" Guo Jia paused and explained, "Once the Jinfan reinforcements arrive, Berning stationed on the Yang'an Mountain Road may be difficult to stop, and when Wang Chong and Jinfan reinforcements meet, their strength will not be weaker than our army, therefore, there are only two roads in front of the lord, one is to take the Jinfan reinforcements to destroy Wang Chong before they arrive, but now Wang Chong has already prepared, not to mention whether he can break through Wang Chong's camp in a short period of time, the only thing that is certain is that our army will suffer heavy casualties!" ”

Cao Cao's expression was uncertain: "What about the second way?" ”

"The second way is ......," Guo Jia said, and glanced at Cao Cao deeply, "Withdraw your troops now and let Wang Chong leave!" ”

Cao Cao's face changed greatly when he heard this: "This ...... How so!? ”

Guo Jia persuaded: "Jiazhi is unwilling, but is the lord really ready to start an all-out war with Huainan?" In this way, I am afraid that Yuan Shao will be happy, or will the lord abandon the great cause in order to ignore the momentary anger? Jinfan is also a small trouble, and what does it matter if he is allowed to be rampant for a few days? When our army solves Yuan Shao, it is like probing to destroy Jinfan! ”

After listening to Guo Jia's words, Cao Cao closed his eyes and fell into a long contemplation, and after a long time, he sighed and said: "What Feng Xiao said is extremely true, but he was too paranoid before!" ”

Guo Jia was overjoyed and hurriedly said: "The lord is wise! ”

Cao Cao frowned and said: "But Fengxiao, now I have a great grudge with Wang Chong, if he secretly joins forces with Yuan Shao at that time, won't we be the enemy on our backs?" ”

"Wang Chong, as a prince, is he the person with a small belly? With his ambitions, he must not want Yuan Shao to win. Speaking of this, the corners of Guo Jia's mouth couldn't help but show a wry smile, "But Wang Chong's flaws will be repaid, and he will never suffer losses, if we don't promise him some benefits this time, I'm afraid he won't give up easily!" ”

Cao Cao said worriedly: "I'm afraid that he will open his mouth!" ”

"Don't worry, my lord, Jia believes that Wang Shaolin will be measured, and the conditions offered will not exceed the scope of what we can bear!"

Cao Cao looked at Guo Jia with a smile: "It seems that Feng Xiao is preparing to go to Wang Chong's camp in person?" ”

Guo Jia said with a smile: "In the past, when Wang Chong was in Xudu, he had a good relationship with Jia, but this time Jia is the lobbyist, but it is very suitable!" ”

The relationship and tacit understanding between Cao Cao and Guo Jia have long surpassed those of ordinary monarchs and ministers, so in front of Cao Cao, Guo Jia dares to say anything, and for Guo Jia, Cao Cao is also unconditional trust, even if Guo Jia and Wang Chong have a great friendship, Cao Cao also believes that Guo Jia will never betray him.

Cao Cao nodded and said: "I heard that not long ago, Wang Chong knocked 200,000 stones of grain and grass from Liu Jingsheng, and now the grain piled up in the warehouse, I'm afraid that many of them are about to become moldy, Feng Xiao is here, or you can get some grain and grass from Wang Chong!" ”

Guo Jia smiled: "Even if the lord doesn't say it, Jia has this intention!" ”

――――――――――――

Early the next morning, an emergency military report was placed on Cao Cao's desk.

"Things are as Feng Xiao expected." Cao Cao looked at the letter and said helplessly, "That Wang Shaolin did write back to Huainan early, now Jinfan with the general Zhou Tai as the commander, Liu Ye as the military division, has led 20,000 troops to attack Runan, Ruyin, Xincai and other places have been conquered one after another, maybe this evening, you can break through Yichun and reach the front line!" ”

Guo Jia straightened his clothes and said, "It seems that we can't wait any longer, lord, Jia will go to visit Wang Chong now!" ”

"It's fine." Cao Cao thought for a while, and then said to Xu Chu, "Zhongkang, and go with Fengxiao, be sure to protect Mr. Fengxiao!" ”

Xu Chu, who was like an iron tower, replied heavily: "Promise! ”
