Zhang Liao's side won a complete victory, successfully defeated Li Dianlejin's soldiers and horses, and killed two people, leading the Yanzhou front line without a leader, after two days of rest, he led the soldiers and horses to attack everywhere, conquered the city, and captured the two surrounding cities, which means that the Jizhou army has gained a firm foothold in Yanzhou and can go further at any time!

At the same time, Zhang Fan sent troops from Jizhou, 200,000 main troops and horses under the leadership of Zhao Yun, and the 50,000 garrison troops of Dong'e and Dongping were not opponents at all, and only supported one day before the city was broken.

Cao Cao was shocked when he got the news, his face was gloomy and terrifying, and he roared angrily: "The hateful turmoil, actually attacked my city and killed my general!" ”

Li Dian and Le Jin are a number of famous generals in Cao Cao's army, and their strength is actually comparable to Cao Ren and others, but they are not so close, but loyalty is absolute, Cao Cao relies on the two of them very much, and he didn't expect the two to die in battle, which is a great loss for him.

Li Dianlejin's death was a very big blow to the Yanzhou army, and even Guo Jia was sighing, the two loyal generals should have bloomed with endless brilliance, but it ended like this, it was really not worth it.

"Man Cheng, Wen Qian! Alas......" Xun Yu sighed, infinitely sad in his heart, but unfortunately the war is cruel, casualties are inevitable, so what can I do?

Guo Jia's face was cold, and he hurriedly said, "I don't know what the lord thinks next?" ”

Cao Cao was stunned: "What does Feng Xiao mean?" ”

Guo Jiadao: "Now that the storm is attacking Yanzhou, we have two choices, and we need to decide on the lord!" ”

Cao Cao nodded, and only listened to Guo Jiadao: "First, we will immediately return to Yanzhou now, and fight a decisive battle with Fengyun Chaochao, no matter how bad it is, it will be forced to retreat, which is destined to cause us a lot of damage. ”

"Second, we took the initiative to abandon Yanzhou, dispatched all soldiers and horses into Qingzhou, and at the same time transferred the people of Yanzhou, using Qingzhou as a base, and then trying to do anything else!"

Two choices, it seems that there is no need to choose at all, Cao Cao was shocked when he heard this: "Give up Yanzhou? In this way, wouldn't the turmoil be sitting on the land of two states, and his power would expand more and more, wouldn't we always have to be on guard and survive in the cracks? ”

"Definitely!" Guo Jia shook his head and said: "Don't look at the chaos now, but with his troops, I am afraid it will be difficult to control the land of the two states, and Zhang Yan of Mangdang Mountain has a great enmity with him, and there are two or three hundred thousand soldiers and horses under his hands, how can he sit back and watch the chaos and get Yanzhou?" It will be destroyed! And the lord can contact Xuzhou Tao Qian, Jingzhou Liu Biao, jointly attack the chaos, the chaos of the army because of the division of troops and weak guards, even if they are timid, it is difficult to resist this temptation, and the lord can take advantage of the current extermination of the iron wall of Jizhou army, get the entire Qingzhou, in order to hold on, sit on the benefit of the fisherman! ”

In fact, this is Guo Jia's plan at the beginning, with Zhang Fan's troops, it is still difficult to defend the two states, not to mention Cao ****, Qingzhou's geographical location is better than Yanzhou, and there is no time bomb of Zhang Yan, so this is the best choice.

Cao Cao fell into silence, it was difficult for him to accept such a result, it was obvious that he had won the victory, but he wanted to give up the base camp to others, which was too embarrassing, especially the death of Li Dianle and the two made him angry, if he couldn't avenge his subordinates, why should his subordinates be born and die for you?

After thinking about it again and again, Cao Cao was reluctant to give up, and said: "If I return to Jizhou, what is the chance of winning to repel the chaos?" ”

Guo Jia sighed lightly, he knew that Cao Cao still couldn't let go of Yanzhou, but in fact, how could he let go of it in his own heart?

Yanzhou is their base camp after all, not to say that they can give up, in the end Cao Cao still decided to go back, because Guo Jia said that the chance of winning is at least six or seven percent, Yanzhou is their home field, occupying a favorable place and people, if they really let go, Zhang Fan will definitely not be an opponent.

Qingzhou is naturally impossible to give up, Cao Cao left 50,000 troops to Xiahou Yuan, plus more than 100,000 soldiers and horses with blood, it is more than enough to defend the city, and the strength of the iron wall is not enough to compete, and Yuan Shao does not have to think about it, Cao Cao is still very relieved about this.

In this regard, Cao Cao led an army of 150,000 to speed up to Yanzhou, this time he took away the blood spirit, and handed over all the blood spirit army to Xiahou Yuan, obviously he was still a little worried about the blood spirit, and he had nothing to say about the blood spirit, since he chose to follow Cao Cao, he must get Cao Cao's trust, otherwise it is all empty talk.

Cao Cao's army rushed to Rencheng County day and night, wanting to cross the river from here and rush to Shanyang County in Yanzhou, using this as a base to carry out defensive counterattacks, and strive to drive Zhang Fan back to Jizhou in one fell swoop!

At this moment, Zhang Fan had already conquered Dongping Dong'a, taking advantage of the opportunity of the Yanzhou army to be caught off guard, he led the main army to attack everywhere, swept the surrounding area, and truly consolidated the ruling power, and then hurriedly thought about Jia Xu's plan, looking forward to the next plan.

Jia Xu said: "Yanzhou is in danger, Cao Cao must return to help, and this place is its home field, our army is inconvenient to fight, it is inevitable that there will be defeats, and at this time, only to contribute to Shanyang County with lightning speed, block its way back, and then slowly encroach on Yanzhou, so that there is a chance of victory!" ”

Capture Shanyang County, take advantage of the water to block Cao Cao from crossing the river, as long as Cao Cao's army is blocked on the other side of the river, the entire Yanzhou will be like no defense, let Zhang Fanyu take it!

Jia Xu's strategy can often be directed to the heart, and the viciousness of his vision is shocking, Zhang Fan is as good as a stream, so he began to prepare for the attack.

In half a day, as soon as he was ready, Zhang Fan raised his main battle army of 200,000 and quickly marched towards Shanyang County!

The land of Shanyang County can be said to be extremely vast, but because Cao Cao sent a large number of soldiers and horses to Li Dianlejin, the defenders of the rest of the counties are relatively weak, especially Shanyang County, because Cao Cao marched into Qingzhou, as long as he is not defeated, Shanyang County will not be able to be invaded, so the town guards here are insufficient, only 350,000 people!

Thirty or fifty thousand people, guarding a county, it is naturally possible to maintain law and order, but it is too difficult to resist Zhang Fan's offensive, half a day after the war ignited, Shanyang County completely declared the fall and fell into Zhang Fan's hands, and at this time, Zhang Fan's army sentry came to report that there was a Cao army assembled on the bank of the Bishui River, and it seemed that he wanted to cross the river!

Zhang Fan immediately convened the ministers to discuss, this is a matter of heavy dà!

Jia Xu stroked his beard and said: "Shanyang County is located on the border of Yanzhou, there must be no one to report to Cao Cao, we can deliberately let him cross the river, ambush him in the city, and kill him by surprise, so that Cao's army will be defeated, Yanzhou will be in my hands, Qingzhou can also be coveted, and when we finally get the land of annexing the state, we will sit around, but bear the world!" ”

This was too tempting to say, even Zhang Fan was excited, but after thinking about it again, he still shook his head: "Mr. Wenhe doesn't know, there are resourceful people in Cao Cao's army, after all, we have just captured Shanyang County, it is easy to be detected by it, and it may be self-defeating." ”

Jia Xu nodded, he believed in Zhang Fan's vision, since Zhang Fan said that there are capable people in Cao Cao's army, then there must be capable people, and his own strategy can hide most people, but he can't hide the real resourceful people, if he is really seen through, it will inevitably be calculated by others, so it is not beautiful.

After a pause, he said again: "In this case, we simply made a big fanfare, went to the bank of the Bishui River, and laid out the carriage and horses with Cao Cao, so that he knew that Shanyang County had fallen, so that he could not return to Yanzhou, and he would inevitably retreat in the face of difficulties, so we could calmly open up the situation in Yanzhou and limit Cao Cao to the Qingzhou region, presumably he had no way even if he was resourceful!" ”

Zhang Fan's eyes lit up, if the ambush just now was a conspiracy, then now Jia Xu's idea is a naked conspiracy, I'm here, you just can't get by, it directly means to persuade you to retreat.

After thinking about it, Zhang Fan suddenly shook his head, which made Jia Xu stunned, isn't his plan bad? Or does Zhang Fan still have concerns about him and refuse to follow his words?

Without waiting for him to think about it, Zhang Fan said: "What Mr. Wenhe said is very good, but I have an idea, please listen quietly!" ”

"My lord, please speak!" All the soldiers clasped their fists and looked over.

Zhang Fan nodded, said: "Although Jizhou is strong now, but the war is not child's play, Yanzhou is not completely without the power to counterattack, the general is forbidden to lead 200,000 soldiers and horses stationed in Liang County, day and night drills, combat effectiveness is very strong, there is a yellow turban remnant Zhang Yan in Mangdang Mountain, these two people have a deep hatred for me, it is difficult to break through these two hurdles to capture Yanzhou, even if the victory is a tragic victory, our army will pay huge casualties, so even if we get Yanzhou, we will face the dilemma of having no soldiers to defend, if Cao Cao takes the opportunity to attack, what should we do?" Moreover, Huainan Yuan Shu is already on the way to come, if he and Yuan Shao unite, he may not be able to defeat Cao Cao's department in Qingzhou, and then he will also plot against Yanzhou, if there is no force to defend, it will be very disadvantageous! ”

Seeing that everyone was thoughtful, Zhang Fan continued: "Yanzhou has a vast territory, and it is not an overnight thing to capture it all, so I only have one idea, that is, to defeat Cao Cao's main force, or even ...... Kill Cao Cao! ”

Hearing this, everyone was a little stunned, Pan Feng was puzzled, and said: "Is it appropriate to put the undefended good land and not collect it, but to gnaw the hard bone of Cao Cao?" ”

Zhang Fan was very resolute in this regard: "I have made up my mind!" ”

"The lord has a good vision, a good spirit, and a good plan! I might as well too! ”

Jia Xu admired from the bottom of his heart, Zhang Fan's thoughts made him marvel, obviously he had seen through the essence! Jinshan is not taken in front of him, because he is not greedy, but he is prepared for danger in times of peace, because he is not arrogant, and he has the courage to be the first in the face of strong enemies, and he is fearless!

In some ways, Zhang Fan's idea is further and closer to reality than Jia Xu!

To be able to follow such a lord, what more can a husband ask for?
