Zhang Liao looked at the gradually torn front under the Tushan Mountain, as well as the Cao soldiers who were driven away by the Xiliang Iron Cavalry, and became more and more sad in his heart, seeing that there was nothing to do, Zhang Liao had to order to retreat from the front of the Xiliang Iron Cavalry and lead the defeated army to Chenliu.

Although Ma Chao wanted to chase the enemy, he remembered that Pang Tong had asked Poor Kou Mo to chase after him, and Ma Chao didn't know if Cao Jun still had reinforcements......

A day later, Zhang Liao returned to Chenliu, and Cao Cao was shocked when he learned that Zhou Yu and Pang Tong were plotting in his company.

Yu summoned the generals to discuss the matter, Cao Cao looked at the direction of the tiger prison from afar, and muttered: "Now that Zhou Yu and Pang Tong are in one place, their army is not to be underestimated, what strategy should Cao use to break the enemy?" ”

Cao Cao also knows that it is impossible to ignore the tiger prison soldiers and horses at present, and only Pang unified the army before, but it can strengthen the defense of Chen Liucheng, even if it struggles to attack the city, it is not easy to capture Chen Liujian City, so that Cao Cao can drive the Hebei army, rush to Shouchun to attack the city, but now in the Tiger Prison Pass, tens of thousands of soldiers, Cao Cao does not know whether Zhou Yu and Pang Tong have the enterprising heart, once the two of them attack the city, the power must not be underestimated.

When Guo Jia heard this, he frowned and thought.

The ghost plot Guo Jia didn't think that Sima Yi would lose to Zhou Yu before, but he didn't expect the 30,000 army to be defeated so quickly, it was only a few days of hard work, and most of the 30,000 troops and horses were lost, and Sima Yi and Zhang Liao did not stop Zhou Yu from rushing to the tiger prison.

Hearing the battle report, Guo Jia couldn't help but secretly praise Zhou Yu for marching slowly and taking his body as a bait, in Guo Jia's opinion, even if Sima Yi and Zhang Liao were not moving. Sticking to the camp, I am afraid that this battle will also have more losses and fewer wins......

Zhou Yu first arrived in Jingxiang, but he could have such a tacit understanding with Pang Tong, Guo Jia thought hard for a long time, sighed lightly, and the secret road can no longer use the previous vision to look at Zhou Yu and Pang Tong, these few years of fighting, the two of them are the top strategists in the world. And among the top strategists. There will always be a sparkle of understanding.

Just like the previous battle of Guandu, although Cao Jun's battle line was narrow and long, there was not much need for messengers between Guo Jia and Erxun, Cheng Yu and others. They will act in tacit agreement with each other. Often, one side uses troops. The other side closely follows, and the power exerted after the series of strategies is often astonishing.

And when Zhou Yu. Pang Tong undoubtedly achieved such a tacit understanding, which made Guo Jia have to be more cautious.

And in Guo Jia's view, after this battle, it is impossible to drive the army to Xuzhou again. Pang Tong and Zhou Yu changed the trend of the battle abruptly, making Cao Jun's previous plan all come to naught, and now the tiger prison is like a stinger in the throat for Cao Jun, making Cao Jun constrained everywhere.

If you don't fight the Tiger Prison, you must always be on guard against the Tiger Prison military horses, so that it will involve too much energy of the army, but if you can storm the Tiger Prison, in the face of Zhou Yu in such a Xiongguan and the Guan, the tens of thousands of military horses led by Pang Tong and the two are not sure that Guo Jia is not sure of it, and they will win the battle.

It would be great if Wen He was also there at this time.

Cao Cao saw Guo Jia hesitate for a long time, sighed lightly, and said to Guo Jia: "Feng Xiao thinks that Cao should treat the tiger prison soldiers and horses?" ”

"There are tens of thousands of soldiers in the Tiger Prison Pass, and we should pay attention to Zhou Yu, Pang Tong, and us, so Guo thinks that my military strategy is a change ......" Guo Jia said, and all the Cao generals in the hall were shocked.

The previous plan to attack Shouchun was completely overturned, so that the transfer of Cao's army from Yanzhou to Xuzhou for several months was only a waste of money and food, and before the war began, it was controlled everywhere, and such a loss made the Central Plains, which was not richer than Jingxiang, suffer a lot of losses.

Isn't this a loss to Jing Xiang before the war started?

When Guo Jia saw the expressions of the ministers, he knew what he was thinking, and sighed lightly: "It is better to lose money and food than to lose the lives of soldiers. ”

Hearing this, Cao Cao nodded slightly.

After many years of war, Cao Cao has not lost a battle, in the past, even Zhang Xiu and other weak princes, have pursued Cao Cao Baili's victory, Cao Cao also felt that Guo Jia's words were not bad, now Yanzhou, Xuzhou Tun Cao Army, there are still more than 100,000 people, a defeat will not change the overall nature of the Central Plains strong and Jing Xiang weak.

If Jing Xiang is strong, he will not defend it according to the danger......

Cao Cao thought for a moment before coming back to his senses and said to Guo Jia: "Then Fengxiao thinks that my Central Plains army should be recalled from Xuzhou?" ”

Guo Jia heard this, nodded slightly, and said to Cao Cao: "Zhou Yu, Pang Tong two, Guo is difficult to deal with, it is a joint Zhongda, and the odds of winning compared with it are only five or five, Guo suggested that the prime minister summon Wen He to come, and the two of us together to calculate the danger of the tiger prison, as long as the prime minister captures Pang Tong, Zhou Yu and the two, it is to destroy half of Jingxiang's foundation, and the conspirators in the army will go to two of the five, and only Zhuge Liang, Fa Zheng, and Lu Xun will be left in the future. ”

When Cao Cao heard this, his joy was beyond words.

Cao Cao knew that if he wanted to fight against Jing Xiang, it would never be possible to achieve it overnight, the two strongest princes in the world would compete with each other, and it would always take years and months, Cao Cao was not in a hurry to expand his territory, and this war was just to frustrate Jing Xiang's spirit, so that the officials under the command of Pang Shanmin and the people were all frightened.

And Guo Jia proposed that the plan to destroy the foundation of Jingxiang was very much in line with Cao Cao's wishes, and even the bad news that Zhang Liao and Sima Yi returned from defeat no longer affected Cao Cao's mood.

There are tens of thousands of soldiers in the tiger prison, but Cao Cao's army has more than 100,000, even if it is a strong attack on the city, Cao Cao thinks that the army under his command is also sure, breaking through the barrier and capturing the two.

If the two don't surrender, they will be killed over there, and if the two are willing to surrender, then the other will be eliminated.

Thinking of this, Cao Cao sneered and said to Guo Jia: "According to Fengxiao's words, if Cao is willing to use 50,000 soldiers and horses, it is also cost-effective to destroy the lives of these two people?" ”

When Guo Jia heard this, he nodded solemnly and said: "Thousands of troops are easy to obtain, but generals are hard to find, and these two people are both strategic and resourceful...... Among the princes, Cheng quite knows the importance of talents to the princes, now Jingxiang, the Central Plains is strong, and Jiangdong is getting tired, it is the Jiangdong court, it is difficult to find talents! ”

Guo Jia said that, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty suddenly woke up, and no one mentioned the matter of making Xuzhou soldiers and horses return to Yanzhou, wasting money and food.

After discussing with a group of subordinates, Cao Cao ordered Pegasus to inform Jia Xu that all the Xuzhou army would be moved to Yanzhou, and as for the attack on Shouchun, he would not mention it again.

Under the Tiger Prison, Zhou Yu's army first arrived.

In the face of this former land where Lu Bu fought three heroes, Zhou Yu looked at the danger from afar, and also sighed with emotion.

Since Pang Tong learned of Zhou Yu's arrival, he personally went to the city to greet him, and the two met and laughed at each other.

The two had not been in contact before, but they could attack Zhang Liao's strong force one after the other, which made the two of them have introduced each other as confidants in their hearts, Pang Tong, and Zhou Yu both felt that such a tacit understanding of the use of troops was called happy.

Pang Tong prepared a banquet in the customs as early as possible, and when the army entered the customs, Pang Tong led Zhou Yu to the palace.

In the hall, the guests and hosts sat down, Pang Tong raised his glass and invited him, and said to Zhou Yu: "Gong Jin, if you had returned to Jingxiang for a few years, how could the three princes in the world be so deadlocked?" ”

"Shi Yuan praised it." When Zhou Yu heard this, he only smiled slightly, and said to Pang Tong: "Working with Shiyuan to use troops, Zhou's heart is also happy. ”

The two of them raised their glasses frequently, and all the ministers in the hall drank freely, Ma Chao felt that his martial arts had risen sharply recently, and said to Huang Zhong: "Old general, don't say a few years, meet today, after the feast, you should instruct Ma a few tricks!" ”

"The old man watched Meng Qi have been fighting many times recently, and his martial arts have become a great success, this is a pointer, please don't say anything more, you and I colleagues, martial arts are also to improve each other's martial arts, if Meng Qi does not think Huang is old, it is convenient for the teaching field to compete again."

Huang Zhong said that, Ma Chao laughed heartily, and said to Huang Zhong: "Don't be too humble to the old general, Ma knows that the experience of facing the enemy in this battle formation is still far from the old general." ”

Seeing the two generals under his command, they were happy, Pang Tong and Zhou Yu were also happy in their hearts, and the guests and hosts were happy with a wine banquet.

In the early morning of the next day, Pang Tong and Zhou Yu met in the palace, both of them knew that although they had won a victory over Cao Jun, they did not hurt Cao Jun's vitality, Pang Tong told Zhou Yu that now there were few soldiers in the Tiger Prison, and he had sent someone to summon Zhang Fei again, and Zhao Yun and the two went to the Tiger Prison together.

In Pang Tong's view, no matter how Cao Cao responds next, the Tiger Prison Army and Horse will always put huge pressure on Cao Jun.

Even if Cao Jun's strategy does not change, he still goes to find Kong Ming's bad luck, Pang Tong, and Zhou Yu work together to use troops, and they can always threaten Chen Liu's city defense and relieve the pressure in the direction of Shouchun; It would be better if Cao Cao changed his mind and wanted to compete with the two of them in the Tiger Prison Danger.

The Cao army was mobilized again and again, but it was only at its own expense, and Pang Tong was helped by Zhou Yu, and he was not afraid in the face of many Cao troops.

Zhou Yu was deeply impressed by Pang Tong's words, and if Cao Cao's previous decision could be changed, Zhou Yu would also be happy to see it come true. When he first arrived in Jingxiang, Zhou Yu's thirst for meritorious service was much higher than that of Pang Tong, Zhuge Liang and others, although in the previous battle, Zhou Yu's soldiers and horses captured the flag and had outstanding achievements, but in Zhou Yu's opinion, this result was far from enough for him.

Whether Zhuge Liang, Pang Tong, Lu Xun, Fa Zheng and others, they have all helped Pang Shanmin to conquer the city and expand the territory, and he, the world-shaking Jiangdong Zhou Lang, now has only a small victory, which is very inconsistent with his name.

Thinking of this, Zhou Yu smiled heartily at Pang Tong and said, "Shi Yuan, between you and Cao Cao, how should you weigh it?" ”

"Whether it is attacking Shouchun or attacking the Tiger Prison, it is not a very good choice for Cao Cao." Pang Tong smiled slightly when he heard this, and said to Zhou Yu: "Cao Jun has lost the lead in this battle, what Gong Jin and I need to do is just a little bit of the advantage in our hands, and gradually magnify it!" ”

When Zhou Yu heard this, he nodded again and again, and said to Pang Tong: "The hero sees the same!" However, in Zhou's view, when Cao Jun has a difficult choice, he will not be reluctant to seek the near and far. Shi Yuan, if Zhou's guess is right, in a few days, there will be a big battle in the Tiger Prison......" (to be continued......
