Chapter 296, both lose
"General... This may not be eaten raw! ”
Xun You couldn't cry or laugh, Cao Ren at this moment was like a angry child, and he wanted to express his unwillingness in this way.
"As long as this thing is food, you can't eat the dead, unless the military advisor lied to me!" Cao Ren looked like he was giving up on himself.
Xun You suddenly sighed: "I heard that this thing was found by Guo Fengxiao, and even many things under Liu Bei's command, such as the Iron Floating Massacre, and the city-breaking weapon are all related to him, if the lord came earlier, maybe..."
Cao Ren was stunned, and then recalled that when he and his brother went to Yingchuan, Guo Jiacai worshiped Liu Bei not long ago.
He was silent for a long time before he sighed: "Time is also fate." ”
If he had nothing to do to persuade his eldest brother to go shopping in Yingchuan, would the result be different now?
It's a pity that there is no if!
"Strategist, let's not talk about this for now, in your opinion, should we destroy Guan Yu's encirclement?"
Cao Ren knew very well in his heart that if they couldn't pass this level, these grains would only rot in their hands, and I was afraid that they would not even have a chance to take root.
On the contrary, as long as he survived Liu Bei's first wave of offensive, he would be able to complete the grand plan of separating one side.
"I'm hesitating about that, too."
Xun You's answer shocked Cao Ren, the military advisor who has always been a last-ditch strategy, just encountered Guo Jia's first move, and he was already helpless?
But then he understood, although he could see that Guo Jia was scaring them, but he had to be cautious.
Again, for that reason, the other party has a weapon in their hands that makes them fearful.
If they allow the other party's encirclement to form and cannot hold the city, it will be difficult for them to retreat with all their might.
This is a conspiracy, Xun You saw through Guo Jia's plan, but he didn't dare to make a decision easily. Because he wasn't sure if he would be able to hold on to it.
Long.
Xun You opened his mouth and said: "I recommend abandoning the city!" ”
Doing so is equivalent to retreating from Guo Jia at the beginning of the fight, but his face is not the slightest different.
Compared with his own face, it is obviously more important to keep this army.
"I'm really unwilling!" Cao Ren reluctantly punched the pillar, although he knew the stakes, he was still a little unwilling.
After preparing for this city for so long, it is really difficult to be as calm as water in the end.
Xun Yu Zhengse said: "So we must find out Guo Jia's weapon as soon as possible, otherwise Xuchang will not be able to defend it." ”
"Hmm." Cao Ren calmed down, then turned around to prepare for the withdrawal.
Late at night, tens of thousands of troops took advantage of the night to evacuate in batches.
......
"Cao Ren and Xun Yu are generous, and they will send them when they say that they will send them."
The next day, when Guan Yu learned that the enemy army had gone to the empty building, he was quite shocked.
He didn't have much hope for Guo Jia's random graffiti scheme, but he didn't expect it to happen!
Before entering the city, he also deliberately sent people to reconnoiter again and again, and only after making sure that there was no ambush did he dare to enter the city in a big way.
Guo Jia said suddenly: "Because if he doesn't leave, I will have to move seriously." ”
Guan Yu was stunned for a moment, and then realized that Guo Jiabu's encirclement was not a bluff.
"It turns out that unconsciously, the military advisor has already fought with Xun You."
"Sort of, but he saw through it."
Guo Jia's original plan was to first lay a net outside the city, and if Cao Ren did not withdraw, he would directly break the city and catch turtles in an urn.
It's true that he doesn't want to reveal his secret weapon, but if he has enough chips, he doesn't have to use it.
It's just that Xun You is more decisive than he imagined, he doesn't hesitate to leave, and he chooses the strategy of retreating in batches, not giving him any chance.
"Next time, can you use this trick again?" Guan Yu asked.
If you can always use this method and take Yanzhou without blood, it will really be the first case in ancient times.
Guo Jia glanced at him: "Xun Gongda will not jump again in the same pit, next time, he will choose to let Cao Ren build a camp outside the city, and the two are each other's horns." ”
"How do you break it?"
"More on that later."
.. Guo Jia guessed right, Xun You did arrange it this way, but there was an unexpected episode in it.
Cao Ren, who was supposed to lead the troops out of the city, was paralyzed in bed at the moment, and kept muttering "My stomach... Hurt! ”
Xun You couldn't cry or laugh, and thought for a long time that the culprit was the potato that was taken from him.
Make you greedy!
"General, eat a trench and grow wise."
"Don't make fun of me, let Xia Houen lead the army to camp first, and I will let the soldiers carry me over."
"That's all it takes, who made our generals greedy?"
These words are like rubbing salt on a wound, and they are painful.
Cao Ren: Can you not mention this?
I hate potatoes!
I swear that even if I survive this, even if the potatoes are grown on a large scale, I will never take a bite!
......
Guandu, Cao Cao's military camp.
"Ziyu sent a letter, Guan Yu has not yet attacked the city, Zixiao and Gongda have lost a county, and they have taken the initiative to give in, and many people have said that I will change generals."
The civil and military gathered in the big tent of the Chinese army, and Cao Cao told Cao Ren and Xun You about abandoning the city, and then looked at everyone quietly.
Chen Gong took the lead and arched his hand: "I thought that this matter was excusable, and Gongda abandoned the city because he was afraid of Liu Bei's artifact." ”
Cao Cao was silent because he saw that Xiahoudun had already come out of the ranks.
"Having said that, we can't always retreat, there will always be a day when there is no way back."
Only he can say this, because he and Cao Ren are brothers of the same clan, and they will not be recognized as excluding dissidents, but are really thinking about the battle situation.
"Zixiao and Gongda are right to abandon the city, and he will never abandon another city." Cao Cao spoke slowly.
He believes in Xun You, even if the other party is a classmate with Xun or an uncle and nephew, and Guo Jia is a classmate, he also believes it!
Not only because of the use of people, but also because of understanding Xun Yu's character. He is a humble gentleman on the outside, but he is actually proud on the inside!
A proud person will never do anything that will affect his or her name.
Moreover, Cao Ren would not betray him.
Cheng Yu walked out of the column with a worried look: "But in this way, our backs will be exposed under Guan Yu's iron horse." ”
"If he finally chooses to give up attacking Yanzhou and instead cooperates with Yuan Shao to attack our army, our army will be attacked by the enemy."
"He won't!"
Cao Cao said with an affirmative expression.
Everyone was puzzled, when Liu Bei said that he was afraid of you, it would inevitably target us because of you, if so, why are you so sure?
"It's right that Liu Bei is jealous of me, but he won't help Yuan Shao defeat me, because Yuan Shao, who defeated Cao Cao, will never be less threatening than Cao Cao, who defeated Yuan Shao."
"He just thought I had a better chance of winning and forced me to divide my troops and stay behind. But once I am frustrated by Yuan Shao, Guan Yu will definitely join forces with me to fight Yuan Shao without hesitation. ”
"Yuan Shao and I both lose, this is the result that Liu Bei wants to see!"
