Since the defeat of Cao Ren, the Qin army in Xia Cai City has been paying attention to the movements of the Cao army in the Xu Capital area every day.

Many days passed, and Xu Du did not even make any response to the defeat of the Battle of Xia Cai, as if he did not care about the battle at all.

In the chamber of Xia Cai City, Jia Xu sat in the hall with Lu Bu, Tai Shici, Zhang Liao and others, except for Jia Xu, the rest of the people were full of doubts.

"Zhonglang, why did you call me to come?" Lu Bu and the others came to the conference hall at the invitation of Jia Xu, and after everyone sat down, Jia Xu just looked at the servants and didn't say anything, Lu Bu couldn't hold back a little and asked.

"Cao Ren lost his troops in the battle of Xia Cai, but Cao Cao didn't make any moves for several days, and a few generals didn't feel a little weird?" After Lu Bu's question was asked, Jia Xu looked around at everyone and said, "If something is as expected, Cao Jun should transfer all the main forces to Xuzhou......"

"What do you mean by ......?" Jia Xu's words made Lu Bu and the others faintly feel that Jia Xu seemed to have some plans, and Zhang Liao even opened his mouth to ask: "Do you want our army to march into Xudu?" ”

"I'm afraid that His Royal Highness doesn't have the heart to enter Xu Du!" Jia Xu shook his head and said to Lu Bu and the others: "However, in the current situation, our army can take advantage of the situation to expand outward and control all the surrounding areas of Xudu. ”

"What's the matter?" Hearing that Jia Xu said that he could take advantage of the situation to expand outward, Lu Bu's eyes suddenly lit up, and he hurriedly asked.

In the battle of Shouchun that day, Lu Bu lost his troops and lost his generals, although he saved some face in the battle of Xia Cai, but now, as long as he thinks of Shouchun's defeat, he still has a very bad feeling in his heart, and he always wants to win a few more battles to completely save face.

Just from Lu Bu's reaction, Jia Xu could see that he had a strong interest in continuing the war.

However, Jia Xu did not immediately say his plan, but then asked the servants: "I don't know what the three generals have planned?" ”

Among the servants, Zhang Liao is the youngest, but his personality is the most old.

After listening to Jia Xu's words, Lu Bu was looking forward to fighting again, Tai Shici was noncommittal, and it seemed that he was also interested in expanding to Xu Du, but Zhang Liao frowned tightly.

"Zhonglang, have you ever thought that if we move troops without the consent of His Highness, if His Highness blames ......?" After pondering for a moment, Zhang Liao opened his mouth and said to everyone: "If you want to use troops, you must also send a messenger to Luoyang, and you can only go on the expedition until His Highness approves it!" ”

When Liu Wei was mentioned, everyone, including Jia Xu, didn't say anything more, and a complicated look appeared on everyone's face.

The quiet atmosphere did not last long, and after a while, Jia Xu said to everyone: "Right now is the fighter, if Wen Yuan still has concerns, he should lead the troops to defend the city, but I don't know what decision Wen Hou and Ziyi have made?" ”

"It's not a trivial matter for a large army to go on an expedition!" After being silent for a moment, Tai Shici looked up at Jia Xu and said, "The last general is also the same as Wen Yuan......

Tai Shi Ci also expressed his reluctance to go out lightly, and Jia Xu pulled a helpless smile at the corner of his mouth, and turned his head to look at Lu Bu.

Lu Bu, who had already expressed his willingness to go on the expedition before, was also quite hesitant when he thought that there was no order from Liu Wei at this time, and after seeing Jia Xu's eyes, he immediately slapped his thigh and said, "I am willing to send troops with Zhonglang!" ”

As he spoke, Lu Bu stood up and said to Zhang Liao and Tai Shici: "Since the two generals are unwilling to send troops, they led their headquarters to go on the expedition, but they just got the credit, so don't think about sharing them!" ”

Looking up at Lu Bu standing in front of him, Zhang Liao secretly sighed in his heart.

Since he was rescued by the Qin army in Xuzhou that day, Lu Bu has stopped a lot, but now, his desire for merit has gradually blinded him.

Jia Xu proposed to go on an expedition, he must have a long-term plan, but Cao Jun was not the opponent they had encountered in the past, thinking of Guo Jia, Zhang Liao did not have much of a optimistic attitude towards this expedition.

But Lu Bu had already made a decision, Jia Xu instigated it, and Zhang Liao also knew that even if he spoke out to stop it at this time, it would not have much effect.

Just when Zhang Liao was full of worries, Jia Xu opened his mouth again and said to him and Tai Shici: "On this expedition, our army only occupies some surrounding cities, and it will definitely not go too deep. Cao's army is strong, and our army is only a subordinate of Wen Hou, and its gains must be limited. The two generals are in Xia Cai City, and they still need to pay attention to the movements of the army at any time, and once there is a change, I hope that the two generals will come to help! ”

Jia Xu didn't know that what he said at this time would become a lifesaver for him and Lu Bu in the future.

From Jia Xu's words, Zhang Liao and Tai Shici also heard that he did not have the expectation that he would be able to win the entire battle, but just wanted to occupy a few surrounding cities to distract Cao Cao.

In Xia Cai City, while Jia Xu and Lu Bu and others were discussing the expedition, a large army was marching out of Luoyang City and advancing all the way in the direction of Xuzhou.

The Qin army made a lot of noise, and the news could not be concealed from Cao Cao, who was in Xu Capital.

Knowing that a Qin army of more than 20,000 people was advancing in the direction of Xuzhou, Cao Cao hurriedly ordered Guo Jia to be invited to Fuzhong.

As soon as he learned that Cao Cao invited him, Guo Jia knew what was going on, and hurriedly followed the person who invited him to Cao Cao's mansion.

The movements of the Qin army made Cao Cao very uneasy in his heart, and now he was in a situation where he was being attacked from three sides, east, west and north, if he was the enemy of three small forces, it would be fine, but now he was eyeing him with Liu Wei, the king of Qin, and Yuan Shao of Hebei.

As long as any of these two forces start an all-out war against Cao Cao, Xu Du may be in danger.

The Qin army marched to Xuzhou, there is no doubt that it must be to relieve the siege of Xuzhou, although Liu Bei is not worried at the moment, but once he becomes the climate in time, it will become a force that is not inferior to Yuan Shao and Liu Wei, and Cao Cao does not dare to take him lightly.

With so many worries in his heart, when he sent someone to summon Guo Jia, Cao Cao was a little restless, and before Guo Jia came, he had already gone to the main gate of the mansion and stood outside the door to wait.

Escorted by a team of guards, Guo Jia, who was riding a tall horse, had just arrived at the street where Cao Cao's mansion was located, and saw Cao Cao standing outside the main gate waiting for him from a distance.

Seeing Cao Cao, Guo Jia hurriedly rode his horse and ran towards him.

When Guo Jia saw Cao Cao, Cao Cao also saw him.

Because he was troubled by many things at hand, when he saw Guo Jia, Cao Cao didn't care about any dignity and order, so he ran towards Guo Jia on foot.

Cao Cao ran this time, but he was busy with a group of guards behind him.

The group of guards hurriedly followed behind Cao Cao and ran over to meet Guo Jia.

Seeing Cao Cao running towards him, Guo Jia dared to ride a horse, so he hurriedly lifted the reins, turned over and jumped off the horse, and ran towards Cao Cao.

"Bonghyo!" There was still a distance of more than ten steps between the two, and Cao Cao shouted to Guo Jia: "What can I do now? ”

Although Cao Cao only shouted these words, Guo Jia knew what he wanted to say, and when Cao Cao approached, he clasped his hands into fists, bowed down to Cao Cao and whispered: "Ming Gong, don't panic, this is not the place to speak......

After being reminded by Guo Jia, Cao Cao also knew that he had lost his demeanor, so he turned his head to look at the sides and said to Guo Jia: "Feng Xiao followed a certain person into the mansion to talk!" ”

As soon as Cao Cao said that he wanted Guo Jia to follow him into the mansion to speak, Guo Jia hurriedly said: "If Duke Ming only talks in the mansion at this time, it is better to go to find His Majesty Xià to think of ideas!" ”

"Majesty?" Guo Jia asked him to find Liu Xie's idea, Cao Cao was stunned for a moment, and asked a little suspiciously: "What can His Majesty think of?" ”

"Ming Gong!" From Cao Cao's tone, Guo Jia heard a little contempt for Liu Xie, so he hugged his fists and said to him: "Maybe Ming Gong feels that His Majesty has no ability to control the world now, but His Majesty's name is a weapon to deter the heroes of the world." The King of Qin and the Duke of Ming are enemies, and the Duke of Ming assists His Majesty, isn't it that the King of Qin and His Majesty are enemies? ”

"What does Bonghyo mean ......?" Originally, I didn't know what the use of going to meet Liu Xie at this time, but after Guo Jia's little push, Cao Cao suddenly understood, and asked in a low voice: "Do you want Your Majesty to issue an order for King Qin to stop his army?" ”

"Exactly!" Nodding his head, Guo Jia also lowered his voice and said: "King Qin categorically refuses to stop his army, so that the Ming Duke has a reason to crusade against King Qin!" ”

"King Qin is powerful, Yuan Shao is also eyeing him, as for that Liu Bei, he has not yet broken through, and he is being attacked everywhere, even if he gets the advantage of this tongue, what is the use of the war situation?" Although he understood Guo Jia's intentions, Cao Cao finally shook his head and said, "It's nothing more than a reason to send troops!" ”

"Having a reason is the key to victory!" Cao Cao obviously didn't understand the deeper intentions, Guo Jia smiled slightly, and said to him: "King Qin did not transfer troops and horses from Xia Cai to Xuzhou, but sent troops from Luoyang. Ming Gong and got the beginning, our army was outside Xia Cai City, and then hit the King of Qin hard, and the battlefield of Xuzhou also made the Qin army suffer some hardships, and the King of Qin will definitely have a lot of scruples in the future! ”

"Cao Ren's army has almost been wiped out, and Xiahoudun has already led the main force to Xuzhou, how can our army make the Qin army suffer some hardships?" frowning tightly, Cao Cao still didn't dare to agree with Guo Jia's statement.

"Qingzhou Army!" Almost without thinking about it, Guo Jia said to Cao Cao: "Since the previous battle in Xuzhou to defeat Lu Bu, the Qingzhou army has not made any achievements. Hundreds of thousands of troops are just idle to domesticate, could it be that Ming Gong thinks that there is too much grain and grass? The Qin army has moved, and it is the time when our army captures Xia Cai, Shouchun, and occupies the entire Xuzhou! ”

Although Guo Jia did not say in detail how to use the troops, Cao Cao's eyes suddenly lit up, and he said to Guo Jia: "Feng Xiao's words made a certain person suddenly enlightened. You and I don't have to delay any longer, and go to see Your Majesty and then do your thoughts! ”
