Chapter 293, goodbye Guan Yu
"Strategist, it's been a long time, how are you doing?"
Guo Jia and Guan Yu's second meeting was in Luoyang, at this time Guan Yu had already returned north with a great victory, coinciding with Cao Cao and Yuan Shao in the Guandu area, so after a few days of rest, immediately led the army south.
Guo Jia knew Guan Yu's marching route, so he waited in Luoyang in advance.
"Very good, but Yun Chang's demeanor is still the same, and his complexion is even better than before. After this battle, I am afraid that no one in the entire Saibei will know the name of Guan Yunchang, and future generations will definitely remember this martial saint of the mighty desert. ”
Martial Saint?
Guan Yu couldn't help but blush with a smile when he heard that Guo Jia had given him a lofty name.
"There are not many wives and concubines in Guan's mansion, so naturally they are not as good as a military advisor working day and night."
"Okay, you're Guan Yunchang, you've learned badly in Bingzhou for a few years."
Guo Jia looked helpless, Liu Guanzhang seemed to be influenced by him, and the meat words were one after another.
Is this still the arrogant Second Master Guan?
Guan Yu's face was expressionless: "Those who are close to Zhu are red, and those who are close to ink are black, this is all learned from the military teacher." ”
Guo Jia was speechless.
"Let's talk about the next battle situation, Cao Cao is confronting Yuan Shao in the Guandu generation at the moment, in Yiyunchang's opinion, where should we intervene?"
】
"Yanzhou."
Guan Yu replied without hesitation.
If you want to attack the enemy and save it, the base camp of Yanzhou is undoubtedly the best choice.
It's just that Guan Yu is a little puzzled, why does the eldest brother have to target Cao Cao?
Looking at the troops invested by both sides in this battle, no matter how you look at it, Yuan Shao has the advantage.
Cao Cao only had 150,000 people, while Yuan Shao had a full 300,000!
Even though Cao's army is all elite, the soldiers and horses under Yuan Shao's command are also veterans of a hundred battles, including the Youzhou Iron Cavalry obtained after defeating Gongsun Zhan.
"The prime minister's foresight is beyond you and me can grasp, since he believes that Cao Cao will win, there must be his reason, we just need to follow orders."
Guo Jia didn't explain this problem too much, because neither he nor Liu Bei knew how to explain it.
But they all thought in their hearts that Cao Cao had a better chance of winning, because at this time they had already determined that Cao Cao was also reborn.
In his previous life, Yuan Shao had such a big advantage and still lost, not to mention that the gap between the strength of the two in this life has narrowed a lot.
Cao Cao didn't only have 150,000 soldiers and horses available, but because he wanted to keep some of them to guard against Liu Bei.
Just as Liu Bei was jealous of him, why wasn't he jealous of Liu Bei?
"Cao Cao's most relied on and most guarded general is Cao Ren, if I expected it to be good, those who stay in Yanzhou will be this person!"
After Guo Jia finished speaking, he looked at Guan Yu with a smile, "How about it, can you be sure to defeat this person?" ”
"If it's a field battle, I'm not afraid of any opponent. But if Cao Ren can't hold on, I'm afraid it's a little tricky. ”
Guan Yu expressed his hidden worries, although he brought 80,000 troops on this trip, the state army was better at field operations than fortifications.
"yes, it's an uphill battle."
Guo Jia never underestimated this Cao general, especially Cao Ren's ability to defend the city.
"But it doesn't matter, I brought a siege weapon with me on this trip, maybe I can catch Cao Cao off guard."
"But the gunpowder that broke the gate of Chengdu?"
Guan Yu, as Liu Bei's sworn brother, naturally knows some inside information, but he has not yet seen the power of this new type of weapon.
"Not bad."
"I'll see."
The next day, Guan Yu and Guo Jia led an army of 80,000 to march towards Yanzhou.
…
Guandu, Cao Jun barracks.
"Guan Yu is here, taking Guo Fengxiao and 80,000 elites with him."
Cao Cao couldn't help but sigh when he heard the news of Guan Yu's southward departure.
Although everything was expected, he still couldn't help but be a little worried, could Cao Ren be able to stop Guan Yu?
I can't help but feel a little embarrassed in my heart.
One of these two people was the minister of the humerus in his previous life, and he trusted the most to make a living.
The other is the man he loves the most, but he can't get it.
Now these two people have come together, and they have teamed up to trouble him.
Chen Gong sensed Cao Cao's emotions, "With Gongda, Yanzhou will definitely be safe." ”
"I'm still a little worried."
Cao Cao sighed, if it was before today, he would not have this worry.
Yanzhou has 60,000 elites left, a combination of Cao Ren and Xun You, against Shangguan Yu and Guo Jia.
Perhaps in the field, they may not be able to outperform the strong state army. But if you defend the city, it should be more than enough.
However, after learning the reason for the loss of Chengdu, Cao Cao's mood was not so relaxed.
"This is the reason for the loss of Chengdu, and Liu Bei's gang seems to have developed some new weapons."
After Cao Cao finished speaking, he couldn't help but think: It is also a reliving life, why does Liu Bei have so many means?
Chen Gong took the letter from the secret agent, and there was a paragraph written on it.
"Like lightning and thunder, the mountain collapsed and the ground cracked, only to hear a loud noise, the city gate of Chengdu has collapsed."
This is what the spies lurking under Liu Fan's command have seen and heard, a new type of weapon that has never appeared before, but it is extremely terrifying, just like the original Tiefu Tu.
In this era, the weapon that destroys the city gate is nothing more than a city car, but the city car needs to be repeatedly struck again and again, how can it be as terrifying as the weapon described in the letter?
Cao Cao had a faint intuition that what he lost to Liu Bei in the end was not strategy, but the opponent's endless and unguardable weapons.
"Will there be fraud?" Chen Gong looked at it several times, but still felt incredible, this kind of weapon was really unheard of.
"That's what I thought at first." Cao Cao sighed, "But later, it was not only the secret agents lurking under Liu Fan who said this, but even the secret agents I sent to Liu Bei's command also responded like this. ”
"In this way, we can only rely on Gongda to respond to the situation."
Chen Gong shook his head, they were in Guandu at the moment, and they were beyond the reach of Yanzhou.
Cao Cao nodded, knowing that he was no longer able to interfere in the battle situation on the Yanzhou side, even if he had won Yuan Shao in his previous life, he needed to deal with it carefully.
He looked at Cheng Yu and asked, "How is Xu Yu's arrangement?" ”
Reliving a life, he naturally will not forget how he won the battle of Guandu in his previous life. So, in this life, he directly took the initiative to attack and single-handedly planned a discord plan against Xu You and Yuan Shao.
Chun Yuqiong is dead, and he is not sure if Yuan Shao will still put the grain and grass camp in the black nest, and whether the guards will still be as incompetent as Chun Yuqiong.
In addition to this, it is necessary to know the number of defenders, the position of the defenses...... These all need the guidance of Xu You, an insider, to succeed in one blow.
"My lord, according to the news sent back by our secret agents, Xu You had a quarrel with Yuan Shao a few days ago."
"Why?"
"The reason why Kebineng led the army south was because of Xu You's hands."
"Heh..."
Cao Cao sneered, "Xu Ziyuan is really unscrupulous, and he even did things like colluding with Hu people." ”
"But he miscalculated Liu Bei's thoughts, he was not targeting Yuan Shao, but us."
