Yanzhou, Guo Jia hurriedly walked into the hall, Cao Cao had just given a few orders, and the herald was ordered to leave.

"My lord." Guo Jia saluted.

Cao Cao glanced up at Guo Jia and asked with a smile, "Feng Xiao suddenly came over, but there is something urgent?" ”

"My lord, I just got the information, Fu Zhi and Zhang Jaw did not retreat, and still continued to besiege Jinan, and at the same time, Yuan Shang also sent 60,000 reinforcements to reinforce Fu Zhu." walked to the map and pointed to the Tiger Pass, "And Tian Feng and Yan Liang have not retreated, and more than 200,000 troops are still entrenched in the Pass!" ”

Cao Cao stood up, walked to the map, looked at the map and thought: "Tian Feng and Fu Zhu are both strategists with deep wisdom and sea, and they can see the key to the problem!" He laughed sarcastically, "It's a pity! Yuan Shao is not a wise lord! Seeing this, Guo Jia smiled and asked, "I think the lord already has a way to deal with it?" ”

Cao Cao smiled slightly and glanced at Guo Jia, "Fengxiao seems to be in the chest, why don't you talk about your thoughts first." ”

Guo Jia smiled and said: "The lord already has a way to deal with it, and his subordinates still don't want to be ugly!" ”

Cao Cao looked at Guo Jia and laughed, while Guo Jia smiled.

Cao Cao glanced at Xuzhou on the map, frowned slightly, and said: "But Yuan Shu used his army to enter Xuzhou, but it made me difficult to sleep!" ”

Guo Jia said with a smile: "Since the lord regards Yuan Shao as a mustard, why is he afraid of Yuan Shu? Although Yuan Shu has a lot of soldiers, let Gu be a rabble, and the new defeat is demoralized, although I only have 50,000 defenders in Xuzhou, it is enough to resist Yuan Shu's 400,000 soldiers and horses! Don't worry, lord! ”

Cao Cao nodded.

Guo Jia hugged his fists and said: "Lord, I have a plan. ”

"Oh? What is the clever plan of Fengxiao? Come on! ”

Guo Jiadao: "For Yuan Shao, Lu Bu is a much greater threat than us!" Now that Lu Bu has sent troops, Yuan Shao's attention must be on Lu Bu! In this case, we fulfilled his wish and pretended to transfer the main force to the direction of Xuzhou! In this way, Yuan Shao will definitely concentrate all his strength to fight against Lu Bu, and if the snipe and clam fight, we will benefit! ”

Cao Cao showed a sly smile, "Feng Xiao coincides with me!" That's what I mean! Our army went to rescue Xuzhou, and Lu Bu couldn't blame us afterwards! ”

Guo Jia smiled and thought about it: "If Yuan Shao and Lu Bu lose both, we can take the opportunity to go south to destroy Yuan Shu, and in this way, the shape will be greatly improved!" Cao Cao nodded sympathetically.

Eyes turned to Luoyang.

"What? Frustrated and Tian Feng refused to carry out the order? What exactly do they want to do? Yuan Shao had just heard the herald's report and shouted angrily.

Xu You smiled coldly, "These two have long been dissatisfied with the lord, and at this moment, they have heavy troops in their hands, I'm afraid they will have other ideas!" ”

Yuan Shao's heart suddenly sudden.

Guo Tu took the opportunity to say: "Recently, there have been rumors on the street, saying that Tian Feng and Frustration support the army and have a heart of disobedience, and sooner or later they will betray the lord!" The lord must not be guarded against! ”

Yuan Shao was furious, "If you don't kill these two people, it will be difficult to eliminate the hatred in my heart!" ”

Lu Yi hurriedly stepped out of the queue and said: "The lord is angry, Tian Feng and Fu Zhu have always been loyal and righteous, and the government and the opposition know that they will never rebel!" Besides, in the two armies, General Yan Liang and Zhang Jaw were loyal to their lords, how could they sit idly by and ignore their rebellious behavior? The reason why the two gentlemen did not obey the orders of the lord was explained in the letter of the two gentlemen! Those rumors in the city are really strange, they must have been deliberately spread by Cao Cao or Lu Bu in order to separate the lord and the two gentlemen! O lord discerning! ”

Yuan Shao couldn't help but feel that what Lu Yi said made sense, and nodded: "It must be so!" Then he said gratefully: "If it weren't for General Koji's reminder, I would have almost killed Zhongliang by mistake!" ”

Xu You said: "Although this is the case, but it can't be guarded against, it's really inappropriate for these two people to be outside for a long time, and they haven't seen their war exploits for a long time, and they consume money and food on the way, so they should be ordered again, and strictly order the two to immediately lead the army back to Luoyang to fight Lu Bu!" Because this Xu You was insulted by Zhang Lang, he hated Zhang Lang very much, and when he came back, he told this Yuan Shao to kill Lu Bu first no matter what, Yuan Shao was extremely jealous of Lu Bu, and then he was instigated by Xu You like this, so he was even more determined to eliminate Lu Bu first.

In fact, in Yuan Shao's heart, due to his birth and an experience when he was a child, he didn't think much of Cao Cao, he thought that Cao Cao was just an opportunist, and he couldn't be compared with him as a famous family at all, and only Lu Bu was the biggest threat.

Yuan Shao was deeply impressed by what Xu Yu said, and immediately wrote two harshly worded letters, and asked the two captains of the personal soldiers to personally send them to Fu Zhi and Tian Feng.

When Fu Zhu and Tian Feng received Yuan Shao's harshly worded handwritten letter, they couldn't help but sigh and had to obey their orders, but in fact, they couldn't do it if they didn't obey their orders, because Zhang Jaw and Yan Liang would resolutely carry out Yuan Shao's orders. Soon after, the two armies began to retreat.

Half a month later, 500,000 troops gathered around Luoyang, and at the same time, another 200,000 troops entered Bingzhou as a partial division. And on the grassland, Yuan Shao's envoy hurriedly entered the tent of King Xianbei.

Yiqiē was ready, but Yuan Shao's army was not launched, because Yuan Shao was still worried about Cao Cao, in case Cao Cao stabbed him in the back while he was fighting Zhang Lang, it would not be a joke.

Soon after, the news that Yuan Shao was excited came that Cao Cao had gone to Xuzhou with all his army.

Without worries, Yuan Shao immediately issued an order to fight, he personally commanded 500,000 troops to press Hangu Pass, and frustrated Zhang Jaw to command 200,000 troops to go out and attack the flank of Guanzhong!

Zhang Lang received the information about the advance of Yuan Shao's army, and immediately left Pang De and 20,000 infantry troops to garrison Wuguan, and he himself commanded 40,000 infantry to rush to Hangu Pass.

Two days later, Zhang Lang arrived at Hangu Pass, which increased the number of troops to 220,000.

Zhang Lang hurried to the map surrounded by generals and looked at it, "How is the current situation?" ”

Zhang Liaoyu reported: "Yuan Shao personally commanded an army of 500,000, and the front of the army is less than 20 miles away from here!" In addition, Fu Zhu and Zhang Jaw led 200,000 troops to appear near Shouyang Mountain, and the last general judged that they might want to force Pubandu and go straight to Guanzhong! ”

Zhang Lang's eyes fell on the location of Shouyang Mountain, which is located on the great bend of the Yellow River, from here Yuan Shaojun can cross the Yellow River from Pubandu to the west, he can go straight to Guanzhong, but if he crosses the Yellow River to the south, he can cut off the connection between Tongguan and Hangu Pass, so that the defenders of Hangu Pass will fall into a dangerous situation of isolation and helplessness!

Zhang Lang frowned, "Is there our army in the direction of Pusaka?" ”

"General Zang Ba has led 10,000 cavalry to the opposite side of Pusaka."

Zhang Lang couldn't help but be a little worried, "Only 10,000 troops? Turning his gaze to the south bank of the Yellow River, "How is the defense of the south bank?" "General Ma Teng has already led his army a few days ago, so there should be no problem."

Zhang Lang looked at the map and frowned, feeling that the current shape was very troublesome, and his side was completely passive! What to do?
