"If Yuan Shang already has the certainty of victory, then how did he get his confidence?" Cao Cao frowned.

"I don't know." Guo Jia shook his head.

"Maybe we can learn something from Chang'an?" Cheng Yu's eyes flashed, he didn't say much, but most of them were incisive words.

"Hmm."

Guo Jia nodded slightly: "What Mr. Zhongde said is right, maybe we can try to get some information from Chang'an City." ”

"Is Lu Qian still in Chang'an City?" Cheng Yu looked at Cao Cao and asked lightly.

Intelligence elements like Lu Qian are only responsible for Cao Cao, so although these strategists can access the latest information every day, they cannot contact intelligence officers without authorization, this is the rule, and it is also a minefield in Cao Cao's heart.

"It's still there." Cao Cao nodded.

"In this way, my subordinates suggest that it is better to send a team of elite spies to try to infiltrate Chang'an, the time is too tight, so I can only try my best." Cheng Yu suggested.

Guo Jia has no opinion on this, he and Cheng Yu looked at Cao Cao together, and the two of them should not let go of the analysis of intelligence, as for the transfer of intelligence personnel, Cao Cao needs to handle it, and the two smart people will naturally not step on that minefield.

Cao Cao's eyes moved slightly, he looked at Chang'an City, and raised his head and said: "Wait a minute, I will arrange two guerrilla teams to contact Lu Qian, if it goes well, I should be able to gain something." ”

Seeing that Guo Jia and Chengyu had no opinions, Cao Cao continued: "At present, the soldiers and horses of Xuzhou should not be far away, should we attack the city first?" ”

"Attack."

"Not attacking."

As soon as Cao Cao's words fell, two voices of cutting gold and iron sounded at the same time. Cheng Yu and Guo Jia spoke without hesitation.

Cao Cao was stunned. Looking at the two strategists who gave different opinions. His eyes condensed slightly, and he said in a deep voice: "Tell me about your different opinions, Zhongde, you talk about it first." ”

Cheng Yu glanced at Guo Jia, and after a while, he muttered: "Right now, we haven't even figured out what the situation in Chang'an City haste to attack rashly, will it be a little hasty?" Besides, Dong Zhuo's soldiers and horses have not yet been informed of our arrangement, so what should we do if the army is copied by the Xiliang Army when the time comes? ”

Cheng Yu asked two questions in a row, which made Cao Cao frown slightly, indeed. Cheng Yu's even asking is not unreasonable, at the moment it is not that there is only one soldier, but four, including the unstable factors in Chang'an City, no one dares to guarantee that this battle can be won in a hundred battles, it is precisely because there are too many uncertainties, Cheng Yu, who has a relatively calm temperament, does not agree to rashly occupy Chang'an City, Cheng Yu, who is middle-aged, is not as good as Guo Jia, in terms of decision-making, he still chooses a more stable plan.

After listening to Cheng Yu's opinion. Cao Cao did not make a decision immediately, but looked at Guo Jia, whose face was gradually becoming a little bloody.

"The Prodigal Son. Tell us what you think. ”

Guo Jia nodded, his eyes narrowed slightly, looked at Chang'an City, organized his thoughts, and muttered: "Mr. Zhongde's pursuit of stability is actually not wrong, after all, our army knows very little about the situation in Chang'an, and it is indeed possible to put the lord and tens of thousands of soldiers in a disadvantageous situation if he rushes into the city, but then again, now that our army has come to Chang'an City, we can't stand outside the city in the rain, these generals may be understandable, but with the army rushing for a few days, ordinary soldiers can't accept it, and they come from Yanzhou." Doing nothing is bad for morale, which is not the same as ignoring. ”

Cao Cao and Cheng Yu nodded when they heard this, if it weren't for Guo Jia to point it out, the two of them really ignored it, they were too concerned about the situation of Chang'an City and the enemy, but they ignored the emotions of the soldiers under their command, morale has always been a detail that cannot be ignored in the march and battle, this time Guo Jia pointed out, the two of them suddenly woke up, if the morale of the soldiers fell because of this, it would be more than worth the loss.

"Part II"

Guo Jia took a deep breath, and then said: "The purpose of our army's trip is to Chang'an City, and more deeply, the purpose of this trip is to prevent Yuan Shang from seizing Chang'an and even Guanzhong, even if Chang'an falls into the hands of Liu Bei's man, it is better than being swallowed by Yuan Shang's wolf ambition, so no matter how the undercurrent of Chang'an City surges, our army must try its best to take the lead, and the worst thing is not to let Chang'an fall into the hands of Yuan Shang." ”

When Cao Cao heard this, his brows tightened, and he said with a little gloomy: "Fengxiao, don't forget Dong Zhuo and Xiliang Jun." ”

Cheng Yu's face was also slightly condensed, Guo Jia's so-called second was not without consideration, but he still preferred a prudent strategy, which was his intention to let Cao Cao avoid a big crisis as much as possible, however, what Guo Jia said was indeed the biggest problem that Cao Cao encountered at the moment, Yuan Shang was menacing, although there were nearly 100,000 soldiers and horses in the Cao and Liu families, but it was not a rope twisted up, the two sides had calculations against each other, naturally they could not talk about intimacy, as long as it was not a solid cooperation, there would be flaws after all, with the shrewdness of Yuan Shang and his strategists, How can you not find a needle, so for Cao Cao, although cooperation with Liu Bei is inevitable, the key depends on how to cooperate, and how to join forces to fight Yuan Shang after cooperation, outside Chang'an City, it is destined to be a piece of gunsmoke, for now, if Cao Jun takes advantage of the situation to occupy Chang'an first, there will be more unstable factors behind it, which is the reason why Cheng Yu is not at ease.

Cao Cao's eyes sparkled, what the two military strategists said did make sense, Guo Jia was enterprising, Cheng Yu was safe, it was not possible to talk about who was superior and who was inferior, the key choice was like a ball or kicked in front of Cao Cao, as a lord, conspiracy is a compulsory subject, the reason why Yuan Shao was nicknamed Zhida and Zhixiao in history is precisely because compared with the two, Yuan Shao lacked Cao Cao's decisiveness and strategy, which is also the reason why Yuan Shao lost to Cao Cao because of Hebei Haojie.

Indeed, compared with the dead Yuan Shao, Cao Cao's temperament is much more decisive, and the name of the hero is naturally not groundless.

After thinking for a while, he saw Cao Cao's narrow eyes firm, looked at Guo Jia and Cheng Yu and said in a deep voice: "What you both said makes sense, since the purpose of our army is Chang'an City, naturally we can't stay in Chang'an City without entering, there are tens of thousands of soldiers and horses in hand, I don't believe that there are twenty or thirty thousand troops in the city, after entering the city, Zhongde you are responsible, I will transfer a part of the guerrilla Lang to you, keep an eye on all parts of the city, as soon as there is a stir, immediately let the tiger idiot and evil come to lead the army to extinguish, no matter what, this Chang'an City, It must not fall into the hands of Yuan Shang. ”

Guo Jia and Cheng Yu heard that Guo Jia was okay, because he was young, he had more adventurous spirit, and although Cheng Yu was still a little worried, he didn't say much, indeed, the army had already arrived outside Chang'an City, so he couldn't do nothing.

Seeing that the two strategists had no other opinions, although Cao Cao knew that Lu Dao was a bit risky, he could only give it a go, and besides, he absolutely believed that there were tens of thousands of elite Cao troops with him, no matter how powerful the undercurrent in the city was, it would not be able to control the overall situation of this battle, as long as this premise remained unchanged, even if he lost some energy and troops, Cao Cao was still willing to give it a try.

Seeing that the two had no objections, Cao Cao shouted lightly: "Evil is coming." ”

Dian Wei, who had been sitting on the wheel, hurriedly got up, his tall body bowed and clenched his fists in front of Cao Cao, and the urn sounded: "The last general." ”

"Dispatch fifty guerrillas to enter Chang'an City first to find a way to contact Lu Qian, and ask Cao Ren to order a few elite scouts to dig out the location of Dong Zhuo and the Xiliang army."

"Whoa." Dian Wei nodded without hesitation, he never asked for a reason, but his tenacious temperament was Cao Cao's most trusted henchman like a tiger idiot.

Seeing Dian Wei's tall body falling heavily on the muddy and water-filled ground, Cao Cao nodded with satisfaction, while Xu Chu, the tiger idiot on the other side of the chariot, did not move at all, and without Cao Cao's order, he sat so silently.

"Rest for a while, no matter what, it's good to wait for Lu Qian's news before entering the city." Cao Cao said indifferently.

Guo Jia and Cheng Yu naturally have no opinions, tens of thousands of soldiers and horses took a little rest, and hurried for days, and their strength dropped greatly, after all, it was not one or two hundred kilometers of rush, but hundreds of kilometers, such a long-distance attack, the bigger blow was the rainy weather in the past two days, fortunately, it was not unlucky to the extent of falling ill, otherwise Cao Cao would be so worried that he would scratch his scalp.

At this time, less than ten kilometers away, on the hillside that towered and overlooked the city of Chang'an, under the tall battle flag, a strong figure stood upright, with deep eyes, looking indifferently at the crowd the size of ants. (To be continued......)
