Guo Jia didn't want to give up this vested result, but the situation changed abruptly, and he continued to suffer from it.

If they stayed in Yanzhou any longer, Sun Ce would most likely go north, and Cao Cao would send troops, and they would be in a situation where they would be under attack.

"I wasted so much grain and grass in vain, I really don't want to return." Guan Yu looked sorry, this time the troops almost never fought a decent battle, but it was like traveling around the world with an army of 100,000.

Guo Jia couldn't guess Guan Erye's thoughts, so he smiled and said: "Yun Chang, don't worry, there is a battle for you to fight later!" ”

Guan Yu's heart moved: "Could it be ......"

"Ji, Youerzhou naturally can't be given to Cao Cao in vain."

Guo Jia looked at the north, and what he said about retreating back to Merge State was not to do nothing, but to turn the direction of the main prince and fight for Jizhou and Youzhou.

After the battle of Guandu, Yuan Shao's main force was lost, and although the population of the three states of Hebei was not short of soldiers, it was not an overnight thing to train a strong army that was good at fighting.

Yuan Shao has lost the foundation of fighting for the Central Plains with Cao Cao, and the battle in Yizhou is nearing the end, so it is time to intervene in the battle for the Central Plains.

If Cao Cao is allowed to take advantage of the Central Plains, Liu Bei's advantages will be gone, although Guanzhong and Bashu are good places, but they are not as good as the huge Central Plains.

Guan Yu stroked his long beard with his hand and said with a smile: "According to what the military division said, it is the division that has returned to the state, and it will be seen what will happen to Cao Cao and Sun Ce." ”

He thought of another meaning of Guo Jia's retreat, now that Sun Ce occupied Cao Cao's Yuzhou, Cao Cao had previously been too busy fighting with Yuan Shao to take care of it.

Now is different from the past, the battle of Guandu has ended, and Cao Cao and Sun Ce's territory has bordered, and interests will inevitably drive them to set off disputes.

...

At this moment, Cao Cao and his subordinate Wenwu were also arguing about whether to take advantage of the great victory to enter Hebei.

Some people think that Yuan Shao is in the weakest state at the moment, and he should strike while the iron is hot.

Some people also feel that they should first turn back and repel Guo Jia, and then recover Yuzhou.

Cao Cao was also hesitating, in his previous life, he adopted Guo Jia's strategy, chose to withdraw from the army and wait for the changes, and sat back and watched Yuan Shao's sons fight.

However, many things have changed in this life, the battle of Guandu has been advanced, and the gap between his strength and Yuan Shao is not as big as in his previous life.

The most important thing is that Liu Bei's early rise has turned the general trend of the world upside down, and Guanzhong in his previous life was originally a fragmented situation, so he naturally didn't need to be in a hurry.

However, this life is different, judging from the progress of the battle situation in Yizhou, Liu Bei will be able to free his hands for a long time, and then he will have to face the invincible North Subway Ride.

Thinking of this, Cao Cao already had a decision in his heart, and then slowly stood up.

When everyone saw this, they all kept silent and waited quietly for the dispatch.

"Pass my order, the whole army will rest for three days, continue to go north, and enter the three states of Qingdao, Hebei, and Yousan."

"Whoa!"

Everyone knew that their lord had made up his mind, but no one spoke to admonish.

Cao Cao looked at Cheng Yu and continued: "Zhongde, I ordered you to go and envoy Sun Ce and tell him that Yuzhou is his. Also, remind him of a word for me. ”

"My lord, please?"

"Bo Fu should know who is the most powerful prince in the world, if he continues to go north, he will blame Cao for being polite."

The meaning of these words is already obvious, Yuzhou can let it, and I hope that Sun Ce will accept it when he sees it.

If he still wants to plot against Yanzhou and Xuzhou, even if he ignores the overall situation, Cao Cao will definitely go south and never die.

"Under the command."

...

With the fall of Bajun, Liu Fan's Wang Tu hegemony has finally come to an end.

This time he did not retreat south, the south is full of small cities, which is not enough to support his comeback.

And there is another important reason, that is, he found out about Xu Shu's betrayal, or Xu Shu deliberately did it.

After discovering the terrifying power of gunpowder, Liu Fan dug three feet into the ground under the city gates on all sides and built the ground very firmly.

thought that this would be able to sit back and relax, but Xu Shu, as the superintendent, deliberately left a flaw in the north city gate, so that Ba County only held on for three days before falling.

"Yuan Zhi, I asked myself if I treated you well, why did you treat me like this?" Liu Fan's questioning voice was a little sad and lost.

He regarded Xu Shu as a confidant, his right-hand man, but in the end he found that the other party played with him in the palm of his hand, and the result of this sincere mistake was the most hurtful.

Xu Shu sighed: "Good birds choose trees to perch, son, although you are ambitious, but you are ambitious and talented, no wonder you are below." ”

He didn't tell the truth, and at this point, it didn't matter if the truth was told or false. There are many people here, and it is not suitable to tell the truth.

Liu Bei intended to reuse him, so he intended to let him join in the way that the enemy's courtiers took the initiative to surrender. As for the identity of this secret agent, let it be buried in the file forever, and be burned to ashes with that cremation.

Liu Fan laughed three times after hearing it, his mood at the moment was like a man riding a bicycle, and his sweetheart would rather sit in a "BMW" or cry.

"That's it, since this is your choice, I wish you a bright future under Liu Bei, step by step."

After Liu Fan finished speaking, his eyes looked around at the soldiers of the Northern Army in all directions, and the blood-stained sword in his hand slowly rested on his neck.

Xu Shu didn't come over, he didn't want to witness this scene.

His mood at the moment is a little complicated, and it is strange to say that he was originally Liu Bei's person, but in the face of Liu Fan, he felt guilty after betrayal.

Maybe it is because Liu Fan has paid him sincerely in his heart, putting aside his ability, it can indeed be called the grace of knowing him.

Laugh at...

Blood flowed, a generation of princes fell, if you count Yuan Shao, who is declining, there will be only four princes left in the world, and it is one step closer to the original three-point world.

However, Liu Bei naturally will not be satisfied with this, what he wants is the whole world, even... As Guo Jia put it, create a stronger empire.

"I don't blame you for this, if you want to blame it, you can blame this troubled world."

Liu Bei didn't know when he appeared next to Xu Shu, and when he saw that the other party was depressed, he couldn't help but feel relieved.

Yuan Zhi, in this life, I finally don't have to watch your lonely back go away, and Cao Cao doesn't want to take you away from me again!

Xu Shu turned to look at Liu Bei, leaned over and said, "Xu Shu pays a visit to the prime minister." ”

"No need to be polite, I've suffered you in the past few years. After all, you have been following Liu Fan for several years, right? ”

Xu Shu nodded slightly.

Liu Bei continued: "Let's go to Chang'an first, Lingtang is already waiting for you." ”

In order to avoid the disclosure of Xu Shu's identity, he specially sent someone to take Xu Shu's mother to Chang'an. After all, the mother and son haven't seen each other for several years.

Although he really wanted to have a long talk with Xu Shu, Liu Bei still chose to fulfill Xu Shu's smile.

"How can Xu Shu be so loved by the prime minister?"

"Because you are Xu Yuanzhi, everything is worth it!"
