"Because of Sun Quan?"

Zhang Liao frowned and muttered, pondered carefully for a while and didn't understand, and then asked, "What do you mean by sacrificing wine?" I beg your pardon for not knowing. ”

Guo Jia smiled slightly and said: "General Zhang, in the first battle with Yuan Shang in Xuzhou, although we defeated its vanguard army for a while, but to be honest, Guo felt that there was a lot of luck in this battle. ”

When Zhang Liao heard this, he was silent for a while, and then nodded slowly.

Guo Jia stood up and said, "The vanguard army is defeated, if you are Yuan Shang, what will happen?" ”

Zhang Liao thought for a while and said, "Prepare the soldiers and horses, reorganize morale, and look for opportunities!" ”

"Wrong!" Guo Jia stretched out a finger, waved it, and said: "With Yuan Shang's style, he will inevitably quickly assemble a large army to put out the fire in Xuzhou, because he has to take care of the overall situation, and he doesn't want to affect the morale of the main force of the Yuan army that is currently fighting against the prime minister's army in Zhongzhou because of the war on the flank of Xuzhou, which is also the fundamental reason why Guo recaptured Langxi and Yangdu, but also gave up immediately." ”

Zhang Liao was taken aback and asked, "Yuan Shang has lost for a while, and if he doesn't rest his troops and horses, will he send troops immediately?" ”

"Absolutely."

"When?"

"I don't know what to do! But it won't be long, maybe tomorrow, maybe the day after tomorrow, maybe, tonight! Guo Jia spread his hands casually and said leisurely.

Zhang Liao frowned and said: "I just suffered a loss and didn't even rest the soldiers and horses, is Yuan Shang a person who doesn't have a long memory, or is he arrogant and thinks he will defeat us?" ”

Guo Jia said: "Wrong, send troops immediately, it is a high move for him, after all, our strength is weaker than him, and it is Guo who is replaced by strength to suppress weakness." How will you do it! Besides, Yuan Shang's character has always been revenge, and this time will be no exception, he will definitely fight, and he will definitely do his best, although Pengcheng is the seat of Xuzhou, but it is a place of four battles, it is not easy to defend, and Yuan Shang will fight here, ten Guo Jia and Zhang Liao will also be destroyed by him! ”

Zhang Liao took a deep breath when he heard this. "So where are we going?" ”

"Xiapi~"

"Xiapi!?"

Zhang Liao was taken aback when he heard this, and hurriedly said: "It's not proper, back then...... ...... year"

Guo Jia smiled slightly, and said: "That's right, back then, Lu Bu was defending Xiapi, and finally the city was broken and killed by the ancestor and me, but now is different from the past, Lu Bu had no foreign aid back then." The strategy was unfavorable, so he lost, but Guo was different, and the city was high and deep. As long as Guo makes proper arrangements, not only will there be no losses, but he can also sit back and watch the success or failure and enjoy the benefits of the fisherman. If that's the case, we can create opportunities for Prime Minister and Xiahoudun and others who are fighting against Yuan's army head-on in Zhongzhou. ”

Hearing this, Zhang Liao hurriedly said: "Sit and watch the success or failure? What do you mean? Isn't it referring to Sun Quan? ”

Guo Jia nodded and said, "Not bad." Sun Quan, although he does not have the courage of his brother Sun Ce, but he has a gloomy personality, and he is more difficult to deal with than his father and his brother...... For Soochow, this time is not enough, then we will create it for him! ”

Zhang Liao thought for a while and said, "Giving up Pengcheng and retreating to Xiapi is to create an opportunity for Sun Quan?" ”

Guo Jia nodded, shook his head again, and said, "It's not to give up Pengcheng, it's to lose to Yuan Shang and let him capture Pengcheng!" The vanguard army was defeated, Yuan Shang lost to us, and Pengcheng battle, we were defeated to him, and Xuzhou was captured, which is a sign of defeat for Sun Quan, which is a sign of defeat for both sides of Yuan and Cao, and Xuzhou was captured, our side retreated to Xiapi, Sun Quan never wanted to see Yuan Shang's family dominate in Xuzhou, so he will definitely send troops, Xiapi City is high and deep, extremely difficult to attack, in the face of the three to fight, here must not be the first bone they want to gnaw, when the time comes, we take advantage of the solidity of Xiapi, watching Yuan Shang and Sun Quan compete for Xuzhou, Seeing the opportunity to act, this is much happier than fighting with Yuan Shang head-on, and letting Sun Quan pick up the cheap and happy later, General Zhang, do you think it is so reasonable? ”

"Huh!" Zhang Liao smiled bitterly, shook his head and said: "I don't know much about Sun Quan, but Yuan Shang has always been the master of picking up cheap and not suffering losses, with this strategy of sitting and watching it come to fruition, I really don't know the bottom in my heart!" ”

Zhang Liao and Yuan Shang fought many times, at that time, Zhang Liao followed Cao Cao in the rising period of his life, the battles he fought, never lost, Yuan Shang was the first exception, in the various battles that followed Cao Cao to calculate Yuan Shang, Cao Jun suffered heavy losses, and Cao Cao, who was enshrined as the master of the Ming Dynasty in Zhang Liao's heart, even took his life in, and until now, Zhang Liao still remembers the past vividly.

"General Zhang, in fact, Guo has no choice! If we want to defeat Yuan Shang this time, the strength we can rely on is too little, and if we don't pull Sun Quan in, Guo Lu really has no choice. Guo Jia said with a smile.

Zhang Liao nodded when he heard this, and said, "The words of sacrificing wine are very true, Zhang Liao listens to your orders." ”

**********************

On the other side, Yuan Shang raised troops in Linzi, Qingzhou, and 70,000 partial divisions responsible for attacking Xuzhou were fully armed and marched towards Xuzhou.

The northern defense of Xuzhou was mobilized by Guo Jia, and Yuan Shang's troops and horses were like broken bamboos, and the target was directly aimed at Pengcheng, the seat of Xuzhou.

And Guo Jia's soldiers and horses also came out of Pengcheng, went north to meet the enemy, and confronted Yuan Shang head-on.

The two armies met fifty miles north of Pengcheng, set up a position, and began a battle.

On the day when the two armies met and set up their formations, the entire plain flew sand and rocks, and the wind roared, as if God could not hide his idleness, and came out of the Heavenly Palace to quietly observe this great battle in the Nether Realm controlled by two top wise men.

In the wind, Yuan Cao and the two sides of the barrier are clear, the two sides invariably delineate the boundary, confront each other from afar, the black oppressive crowd covers the green appearance of the grassland, swords, guns, swords and halberds all kinds of weapons stand towards the sky, exuding a chill that freezes people's hearts and lungs, the bright light reflected by the weapons reflects the eyes of the soldiers on both sides, although the tension in the air is not visible, but it can be felt, and the strong war spirit spreads among the soldiers and generals of the two sides......

Guo Jia rode in a chariot, and under the protection of several fierce generals of the Cao army, he ordered people to play flags and invite Yuan Shang to speak in front of the battle.

Yuan Shang was naturally not afraid of him, and he also led a group of team members to meet the ghost talents in front of the battle, both of them had a hesitant and distrustful attitude towards the enemy's humanity, and the guards were all with them, and the shield soldiers were in front of the formation, as if they were fully armed.

A stone's throw away, the two masters met in the field, Guo Jia raised his eyes and looked at the formation around Yuan Shang, smiled slightly, and said: "Third Brother Yuan, it's been a long time, such a big pomp, do you want to scare Guo to death?" ”

Yuan Shang raised his eyebrows slightly, arched his hand at Guo Jia on the horse, and said, "Fourth Brother Guo has been absent for a long time, your car is good, it's quite atmospheric." ”

Guo Jia smiled and patted the sidebar of the chariot he was riding, and said with a smile: "Reluctantly, this is the best chariot that Guo can take out in the army, after all, it is the head of the Yuan family who met with the third prince of the fifth world, and this pomp is not big...... Brother Yuan brought so many people to my Xuzhou this time, what do you want to do? Spring outing? ”

Yuan Shang shook his head with a smile and said, "What you said is interesting, whose spring outing leads tens of thousands of people?" There is no money to spend...... Fourth Brother Guo, Yuan summoned so many people this time, and he made a special trip from Hebei to come here to smash you and smash the field, can't you even see this? ”
