This question was asked by Zhuge Liang, in fact, he has always had a doubt in his heart, this Han prime minister is like having the ability of an unpredictable prophet, and he can always accurately predict the temperament and ability of many people.

There have been many cases before, one is himself, the other is the prediction of Cao Cao and Yuan Shao, and then there is the current Zhou Yu.

Liu Bei said with a smile: "I not only know that Zhou Yu is good at scheming, but also know that Kong Ming is his nemesis, and I have to rely on you a lot in this battle." ”

This is half a joke and half the truth, if Zhuge Liang is Zhou Yu's nemesis, it may not be, but Zhou Yu is good at scheming, Kong Ming is cautious in his use of soldiers, and the relationship between the two is the spear and the shield.

Zhuge Liang smiled helplessly when he heard this, he had never even seen Zhou Yu's face, but he was named Zhou Yu's nemesis, which was really incomprehensible.

"Okay, the whole army will rest for three days, and then march to Nanyang. I hope that after this battle, Dahan will have only one voice. ”

Yecheng.

After a month, Guo Jia and Guan Yu completed the transfer of 150,000 troops and approached the city.

During this period, Yuan Shao fell ill in bed because of the battle of Guandu, and the military and political power of Hebei was divided between the three sons.

Among them, Yuan Shang, who was most favored by Yuan Shao, got Jizhou, while Yuan Tan and Yuan Xi got Youzhou and Qingzhou respectively.

However, after the battle of Guandu, Yuan Shao's main force was lost, and his strength was greatly reduced, even Yuan Shang, who was the strongest among the three sons, only had 50,000 or 60,000 soldiers and horses left, some of which were still newly recruited soldiers, and they had not yet had time to form combat power.

In the big tent of the Chinese army, Guo Jia and Guan Yu were discussing military affairs on the map.

"Cao Cao has moved north, and now he is attacking Qingzhou. In my opinion, Yuan Xi won't last long, and we will soon face Cao Cao. ”

Guan Yu's tiger eyes burst out with a fine light, and he used the troops of the state to face Cao Cao's main force, and this battle must be extremely tragic.

"As expected, Cao Cao is a generation of heroes, and he has always been very decisive in terms of trade-offs." Guo Jia's face remained unchanged, and he was not surprised by Cao Cao's surrender of Yuzhou to Sun Ce.

If he waved his army south to compete with Sun Ce, he would only benefit Liu Bei in the end, because Sun Ce would never give up this foothold that would allow him to intervene in the Central Plains.

Then Guo Jia realized Guan Yu's emotions and the vigorous fighting intent in the other party's eyes, and couldn't help but be stunned: "Yun Chang, you don't want to compete with Cao Cao, right?" ”

"Don't you want to be a military advisor?" Guan Yu asked rhetorically.

Anyone who has talent must have arrogance, and he is always full of desire to win in the face of powerful enemies, and he doesn't believe that Guo Jia doesn't want to fight with Xun You, Chen Gong and others.

Guo Jia smiled dumbly, then shook his head and said, "I want to think about it, but I can't do it." ”

"What do you mean by that?"

"Have you ever wondered what the prime minister will face if we lose?"

Guan Yu fell into deep thought.

In fact, it is not difficult to guess this answer, if the Hebei battlefield falls into decline, Cao Cao is likely to advance and annex the state, and Liu Bei will have to divide his troops to help.

In this way, the forces used to deal with Sun Ce will also be greatly weakened, and may even reach a stalemate.

The final chain reaction may be that Cao Cao has gained a firm foothold in the Central Plains, and Sun Ce may enter Jingzhou and repeat the three-point situation.

This is what Guo Jia does not want to see!

Guo Jia continued: "Xun Gongda can endure humiliation, can't we? ”

This is to use the case of Xun You when he was defending Yanzhou to remind Guan Yu that people can avoid fighting in order to take care of the overall situation, and we should be able to do so.

Guan Yu Zhengse said: "What the military advisor said is very true, Guan has been taught!" It's just."

"Just what?"

"Next, I'm afraid it will inevitably be won back by Xun Gongda."

This refers to Guo Jia's previous use of women's clothes to stimulate Xun You, and now that the two sides are attacking and defending, it is their turn to swallow their anger.

Guo Jia smiled indifferently: "Anyway, Guo won't blush." ”

Guan Yu: "."

"If we want to hold Cao Cao back, we must at least take Yecheng."

Guan Yu didn't bother to pay attention to this person, blushing was natural, and he couldn't argue about this matter, so he brought the topic back to business.

Guo Jia smiled and held out a finger.

Guan Yu was puzzled.

"It only takes one night to break the city!"

"I heard that Liu Bei has an artifact that can destroy the city gate overnight, and I don't know if it's groundless, or if it's true."

At the head of Yecheng City, Yuan Shang said with a worried face.

Guan Yu is brave and invincible, powerful and powerful, Guo Jia is unparalleled, he is a little worried, can he keep this father's inheritance?

On the side, Feng Ji and the others couldn't help but look at each other and were speechless when they heard the words.

They are only rumored about Liu Bei's artifact, and there is no recorded image in this era, so it is difficult to find a way to deal with it in a short period of time.

The judge stepped forward and said with relief: "Childe don't worry, look down, this is just the incompetence of Liu Fan's subordinates, and it is just a matter of spreading falsehoods." Just order people to watch the city gates on all sides, and don't give Guan Yu a chance to take advantage of it. ”

"That's all there is to it."

Yuan Shang sighed, and then asked, "Yuan Tan is willing to send troops?" ”

He is now trapped in a lonely city, and he can only hope that his two brothers can send troops to help. However, the second brother Yuan Xi is facing the threat of Cao Cao at the moment, and he is already too busy to take care of himself, so he can't count on it.

The judge shook his head.

Yuan Tan's attitude was within his expectations, after all, as the eldest son, he was driven out of Yecheng, how could he have no resentment in his heart?

Yuan Shang said angrily when he heard this: "When is it, this guy is still thinking about fighting for power and profit, don't you know the truth of cold lips and teeth?" ”

People always take themselves for granted and blame others for their mistakes. Yuan Shang obviously forgot how he dealt with this brother some time ago.

It is true that Yuan Tan disregards the overall situation.

But if it is a different place, it is Yuan Tan who is surrounded at this moment, will Yuan Shang send troops?

The trial and the others were all silent, there was no need for them to intervene in this kind of matter, because no matter how much they said, it was useless, and the siege of Yecheng was destined to be solved by themselves.

Feng Ji comforted: "Childe, rest assured, as long as Guan Yu's army is repulsed, with the population and money and food of Yecheng, we will be able to make a comeback sooner or later." ”

Yuan Shang nodded, feeling a little relieved, and then turned around and walked under the city wall, leaving only one sentence.

"I'm tired, go back and rest for a while, you must watch the city gate."

Hearing this, the judge and Feng Ji looked at each other, and then both sighed. At this critical moment of life and death, instead of boosting morale at the city gates, such a person is as casual as a child, and such a person does not see the slightest sign of the Lord.

The two of them thought of Yuan Shao, who was sick in bed, and a thought suddenly appeared in their hearts, the Yuan family of the fourth and third princes was probably coming to an end.

"Kill"

The sky was lit up with fire, followed by the sound of horses' hooves and shouts of killing.

Yuan Shang, who had just walked down the city tower, went and returned.

"The state army actually attacked the city at night!"
