Chapter 301

"Bonghyo!"

Cao Cao only said two words, and then he didn't say any more.

His breath was short, and his brow furrowed slightly, indicating that he was both nervous and excited at the moment.

Guo Jia hugged the teapot and took a big sip.

Similarly, Guo Jia didn't expect that Dong Zhuo would appear in Huixiaguan.

Everyone was deceived by Dong Zhuo, thinking that he personally led the army to take Xuzhou. Unexpectedly, Dong Zhuo actually appeared in Huixiaguan!

Guo Jia hadn't fully thought it through, and said in a deep voice: "There are a lot of weirdness in today's events. In this night attack, Hua Xiong's personal soldiers happened to know that Dong Zhuo was in the Guannei......"

Cao Cao quickly calmed down, and while putting on his clothes and shoes, he said with a glint in his eyes: "Feng Xiao is saying, then Dong Zhuo deliberately let me know that he is in the guannei?" ”

"In other words, Dong Zhuo is not going back to Xiaguan or not!"

Cao Cao got dressed and stood up, looked up at Huixiaguan, and said, "They want to use this kind of trick to delay time?" ”

"It's possible,"

Guo Jia pondered in his heart and said, "There have always been rumors before that Dong Zhuo sent someone to Sanqiang, and it is also possible that Dong Zhuo really wants to risk killing ...... back."

Cao Cao's face changed slightly, he turned around and took the map, picked up the lantern and watched at night, for a long time, and said to himself: "This is unlikely, from here to Xiliang, not only is the journey long, there are many checkpoints......"

Guo Jia didn't care, and said: "If Dong Zhuo is really determined to go back, he can spare us, go to Jingzhou, Nanyang, and then go north, except for Sanfu, there is almost no obstruction, and except for the general, there are basically no soldiers and horses in other counties, which is equal to the void......"

Guo Jia didn't speak, and the meaning was very clear.

Since Liu Wei ascended the throne, he has strictly streamlined the administration of the army, cut officials in various places, and brought the military power upward.

And because of the problem of money and food, the local garrison is very scarce, and it is impossible to stop Dong Zhuo's 50,000 army!

Cao Cao drew his finger around the map and said, "Isn't there still Zhang Liao in Hanzhong?" ”

"What if, Zhang Liao can't move?" Guo Jia drank strong tea and said lightly.

Cao Cao's expression gradually became indifferent, and his eyes fell on 'Yizhou'.

Yizhou Liu Yan has been eyeing Hanzhong, if Dong Zhuo and Liu Yan also colluded and contained Zhang Liao, then Dong Zhuo is really likely to enter the realm of no one, borrow Jingzhou, go all the way to the north, and kill back to Xiliang!

Guo Jia drank tea, suppressed his addiction to alcohol, and said: "Most of the soldiers and horses in Dong Zhuo's hands are people who are cold and cold, trapped in Peiguo for many years, and homesickness is inevitable. And Peiguo is in the hinterland of the Han Dynasty, Dong Zhuo is isolated and helpless, and he is surrounded by enemies, so it is not surprising that he wants to return to Xiliang. ”

Cao Cao nodded, still thoughtful and said: "When the imperial court put Dong Zhuo in Yuzhou, it was very clear that it was considered. ”

Guo Jia stood beside him, glanced at the map, and said, "The most important thing now is to find out whether Dong Zhuo is returning to Xiaguan or not, and if he is, how is he plotting!?" ”

If Dong Zhuo really appeared in Huixiaguan, did he really want to return to Xiliang?

If it was true, did he choose a detour, or did he defeat Cao Cao first?

But if not, Dong Zhuo is coming for Cao Cao?

Cao Cao thought more than Guo Jia, and he had a lot of ideas, but he calmed down in an instant, and said: "Whether you are there or not, it's just a matter of waiting for two or three days." ”

Within two or three days, there will inevitably be news from Xuzhou, and if Dong Zhuo is not in Xuzhou, it will probably be closed at this time.

Guo Jia shook his head lightly and said, "I can't wait." Dong Zhuo gave up Xuzhou and appeared here, there must be a big plan, and two days were too precious for them. ”

Cao Cao put down the map, his expression was indifferent, his eyes were blazing, and he was constantly scrutinizing.

Guo Jia is right, the battlefield has always changed rapidly, Dong Zhuo has been hiding in Xiaguan for I don't know how long, give him two more days, and the danger will be him Cao Cao.

"Whether you are there or not, you will see today!"

Cao Cao's expression was certain, and he said to Guo Jia: "If Dong Zhuo is really returning to Xiaguan, what should I do?" ”

Guo Jia drank strong tea and said with a smile: "What was our original plan?" ”

Cao Cao was stunned, then laughed and said, "Feng Xiao's words, the mouth is suddenly opened!" ”

Their original plan was to invade Xiangxian County, force Dong Zhuo to give up Xuzhou and come back, wait for Yuan Shu to fall, gather all kinds of soldiers and horses, and destroy Dong Zhuo!

Now Dong Zhuo didn't go to Xuzhou, but sent it to the door, isn't it just what he wants? !

Guo Jia smiled and said nothing, but he was faintly uneasy in his heart.

Dong Zhuo is not an ignorant person, when he appeared in Huixiaguan, he must have a plan, and now they almost know nothing, and the advantage is in Dong!

Even, Dong Zhuo is in the dark, they are in the light, danger will come at any time!

However, as a strategist, the most important thing is to make the lord feel at ease, and Guo Jia did not say much.

He didn't say it, Cao Cao also knew it, but he didn't break it, he thought about it, and his long narrow eyes flashed with coldness.

Cao Cao and Guo Jia are discussing, and Cao Jun outside the big tent is also rectifying.

After attacking the camp, Cao's army was even more vigilant, and the soldiers who patrolled back and forth were densely packed.

Xiahoudun, Cao Ren and others sat together, eating and drinking, and they were also talking about returning to Xiaguan.

Le Jin was very irritable, pulled the mutton, and said: "If you want me to say, the military advisor is right, just attack, what's the point of trying!" ”

Cao Ren and Xiahoudun didn't speak, and they ate relatively Sven.

Cao Hong is a junior, and he is a little slanderous, but he doesn't dare to drink, and said: "If you want me to say, I will divide my troops and go around and stab Dong Zhuo's nest!" ”

Cao Ren and Xiahou looked at him together, and then looked at each other.

Xiahoudun was just about to get up, Cao Ren said: "What we can think of, the general and the military advisor must have thought of it a long time ago, the sky is about to dawn, don't bother." ”

Xiahoudun hesitated, and suddenly heard a sound of footsteps. When I turned my head, I saw Cao Cao and Guo Jia, and Xu Zhu came over.

The crowd hurriedly got up and raised their hands to salute.

Cao Cao waved his hand and said with a smile: "Yuan Rang, there is good news." Miao Cai was released, and he was already on his way. ”

Xiahoudun hurriedly raised his hand and said, "Thank you, General!" ”

Cao Cao waved his hand and said: "He has suffered for me, thank me for something, sit down, wait for the wonderful time to arrive, and give him a good reception." ”

Everyone sat down around Cao Cao with joy.

When Xiahou Yuan followed Cao Cao to conquer the Yellow Turban Army in Qingzhou, he acted violently in the past, which provoked Kong Rong, the minister of the Beihai Sea at that time, and Zhu Jun, the pastor of Qingzhou, could not tolerate it, so he was captured by Zhu Jun and sent to Luoyang.

Cao Cao pleaded many times, but the court was already very jealous of him, and he was willing to let go of the opportunity to hit him, Xiahou Yuan was heavily blamed, and betrayed for five years.

It's only been three years now, and it was Cao Cao's strength to come out ahead of schedule.

After Cao Cao sat down, he looked back in the direction of Xiaguan and said, "After dawn, Xu Chu, Yuan Rang, you each bring fifty people, follow me back to Xiaguan." ”

Xiahou was stunned for a moment and said, "Is the general going?" ”

Cao Cao picked up the meat, stuffed it into his face, and said, "Don't ask more." ”

Xiahoudun and Cao Ren, Cao Hong, Le Jin and others who wanted to ask didn't dare to speak.

Guo Jia drank tea, and was also curious about what Cao Cao was going to do.

Not far away back to Xiaguan, quiet as usual.

The pass is not big, but it seems to be like a dangerous blockage, there is no panic, everything is in order.

Waiting for the sky to dawn, Cao Cao took Xiahoudun, Xu Zhu and a hundred cavalry, and went straight back to Xiaguan.

When they returned to Xiaguan, they were still waiting for the Cao army to continue the attack, but when they saw that there were only more than 100 people, they watched and discussed.

Huaxiong, Zhang Ji was already there, couldn't help but look at each other, and came to the gate with some curiosity.

Cao Cao came to the front, not far away, out of the range of the archers, reined in his horse, and said loudly: "Yang Wei General Cao Cao, please see the captain!" ”

Hua Xiong listened and replied loudly: "General Cao misunderstood, Dong Gong is not here. I don't know General Cao, why did you attack me and return to Xiaguan for no reason, aren't you afraid that the court will ask you for the crime? ”

Cao Cao didn't pay attention to this kind of words, and said loudly: "If the Taiwei refuses to see it, Cao Cao can only see it." ”

Hearing this, Hua Xiong looked up behind Cao Cao, only to feel that tens of thousands of troops were ready to attack, with a posture of attacking with all their might.

He whispered to the soldiers beside him, and then shouted: "General Cao, it is better for you to return to Qian County in vain to damage the lives of the soldiers, how about you return to Qian County, how about the two sides being unhindered?" ”

Cao Cao didn't bother to pay any attention to it, reined in his horse, and waited quietly.

Hua Xiong didn't put out any more trash talk, he was also waiting.

It didn't take long for Dong Zhuo, who was fat and athletic, with age spots on his face, to appear next to Huaxiong.

With a sword in his hand, he looked at Cao Cao from a distance, and laughed: "Meng De, don't come to harm?" ”

Cao Cao's eyes widened slightly, staring at Dong Zhuo above the gate, the corners of his face twitched slightly, and his eyes were cold.

Dong Zhuo!

He can be very sure that this is Dong Zhuo!

In the past chasing the Yellow Turban Army and in Luoyang City, Cao Cao still knows Dong Zhuo very well, and he will never admit his mistake!

Cao Cao's thoughts were complicated, and he was suppressed by him in an instant, and Lang smiled and said: "Xiaguan Cao Cao, I have seen the Taiwei, I don't know why the Taiwei is here, and where do you want to go?" ”

Dong Zhuo smiled and raised his hand to return the salute, "Meng De, how about you come in and have a drink?" ”

Cao Cao's long and narrow eyes flashed, and he said loudly: "Taiwei, return to Xiangxian, how about the two compartments being okay?" ”

Dong Zhuo raised his hand behind his back and said, "Now that you have seen it, Meng De still wants to see it?" ”

Cao Cao reined in his horse, walked around, observed the top of the lower pass, and said casually: "Your Majesty has a decree, the Taiwei will enter Beijing with me, and please leave the Taiwei." ”

Dong Zhuo pretended to sigh, and then said loudly: "Meng De doesn't pity the lives of the soldiers, and doesn't care about the future?" ”

"Captain, you have no way to go, please turn back!" Cao Cao replied loudly.

Dong Zhuo put his hands behind his back, as if he was a little tired, turned his head and explained a few words to Hua Xiong and Zhang Ji, and then said to Cao Cao: "The old man is waiting for Meng De's martial arts." ”

After speaking, Dong Zhuo held the saber and turned to leave.

Cao Cao couldn't see Dong Zhuo anymore, his expression moved, and he turned around and left.

Back in the camp, Cao Cao didn't see anyone else, and summoned Guo Jia, with a gloomy face, and said, "It's Dong Zhuo!" ”

Guo Jia had actually seen it, sat there, held the teacup, and thought: "Looking at it now, Dong Zhuo only has two purposes, either for the general, or he really wants to go back to Xiliang." ”

Cao Cao snorted coldly and said, "Even if the old thief wants to go back to Xiliang, he will want to defeat me first!" If my army of 50,000 is behind, how can Dong Zhuo feel at ease? ”

Guo Jia looked at Cao Cao's expression, smiled, and said, "No matter what plan Dong Zhuo has, since he is returning to Xiaguan, it will be easy to do." The general only cares about the strong attack, if Dong Zhuo goes out, the general avoids the battle. ”

Cao Cao immediately understood, and said, "Feng Xiao wants to delay?" ”

Guo Jia looked calm and said: "Dong Zhuo's appearance in Huixiaguan means that Dong Zhuo needs to return to Xiaguan, at least temporarily." Therefore, by storming back to Xiaguan, Dong Zhuo's other schemes can be contained. The advantage is in Dong Zhuo, and the time is in the general. ”

Cao Cao nodded heavily, took a deep breath, and said, "Okay, after noon, attack back to Xiaguan!" ”

As long as Dong Zhuo is dragged and Yuan Shu is destroyed, Dong Zhuo will have no way to live or die!

Guo Jia drank strong tea, couldn't help sighing, and said, "Dong Zhuo's hand is really beautiful. ”

Cao Cao didn't expect Dong Zhuo to give up the big fat in Xuzhou, but quietly appeared in Huixiaguan.

But after a moment, Cao Cao suddenly woke up and said, "Fengxiao, Dong Zhuo could not be detected, why was he exposed to me?" ”

Guo Jia smiled slightly and said, "It's nothing more than attracting the general's attention and making the general ignore the others." ”

Cao Cao understood, and this went around again.

No matter what Dong Zhuo's plans were, Cao Cao only did one thing - to storm back to Xiaguan.

Guo Jia drank strong tea and said, "I'm a little curious, what Dong Zhuo is plotting." ”

Cao Cao took the wine jug, poured the wine to himself, and said: "It's nothing more than two things, one is me, and the other is Hui Xiliang." As long as I hold him back, all his plans will fail! ”

Guo Jia smelled the smell of wine, and the whole person was not good in an instant, his originally sharp thinking froze, and he forgot all the words that came to his mouth, and could only look at the wine glass in Cao Cao's hand, and watched the wine inside enter Cao Cao's mouth.

Cao Cao didn't realize it, looked to the south, and said, "Now, it should be almost over?" ”

Guo Jia reluctantly retracted his gaze and held the teacup in a daze.

Cao Cao glanced at it, a smile crossed the corner of his mouth, and said: "Then Yuan Benchu occupied Yangzhou, the Shi family occupied Jiaozhi, Liu Biao occupied Jingzhou, Liu Yan already won Yizhou, plus Gongsun Zhan, Lu Bu and others, and Liangzhou, most of my half of the country fell into the hands of traitors!" ”

Listening to Cao Cao's words, Guo Jia's thoughts barely moved, and said: "Since Cheng and Ling, the country's capital has suffered a great loss. Although His Majesty has made great efforts to recover in recent years, it is not enough to calm the world, and I am worried that after this battle, the world may change greatly. ”

Cao Cao frowned and said, "How has it changed?" ”

Guo Jia opened his mouth to speak, but picked up the teapot again and drank tea in a big gulp.

Cao Cao knew his character, and knew that he didn't want to say it, so he simply didn't ask, and thought about it himself.

Guo Jia took a sip of strong tea to suppress the addiction to alcohol and exhaled softly.

The 'battle' in his mouth refers to the destruction of the understanding.

At that time, Yuzhou will inevitably fall into the hands of Cao Cao, at that time, across the middle of the north and south, Cao Cao's importance will rise in a straight line, become pivotal, and even affect the situation in the world!

Is this situation good or bad for Cao Cao?

Guo Jia looked at Cao Cao with a long light, and he couldn't judge it in his heart.

The 'hero of troubled times' he chose was scheming, and the city was like an abyss, Guo Jia couldn't guess it at all.
