"I think Wancheng is easy to fight."

Xi Zhong said first: "After Zhang Ji died, there were not many troops left, not even food. Therefore, Zhang Xiu had to take refuge in killing his uncle and enemy Liu Biao, in exchange for a Wancheng barely sheltered, Zhang Xiu and our strength gap is too big, fight Wancheng, just attack it. ”

The current Cao Cao occupies the righteousness and has sufficient troops.

Zhang Xiu, with less than 10,000 troops, is not worth mentioning in front of Cao Cao.

Regarding Xi Zhong's statement, Cao Cao nodded slightly in agreement.

"I don't think Wancheng even needs to fight."

Xun You's opinion is different from Xi Zhong's.

Xi Zhong advocated a strong attack and crushed Zhang Xiu with troops, but Xun You wanted to win without a fight.

Guo Jia smiled: "Gongda's idea may be the same as my thoughts." ”

"Feng Xiao also thinks that Zhang Xiu will surrender without a fight?"

"That's right!"

After Guo Jia finished speaking, the two of them looked at each other and smiled.

"Will Zhang Xiu surrender?"

Hearing this, Cao Cao was surprised, then looked at Chen Zhou and asked, "What does Du Zhi think?" ”

"Will surrender."

Chen Zhou echoed Guo Jia and the others, and analyzed: "Zhang Xiu and we have no deep grudges, Zhang Ji died in the hands of Liu Biao, but Zhang Xiu took refuge in Liu Biao and had to do it. If our army goes south, Zhang Xiu's strength is far inferior to ours, and Wancheng will definitely not be able to hold it, so it is better to surrender against Liu Biao. ”

As long as Zhang Xiu is willing to listen to Jia Xu's words, he will definitely surrender.

As long as Cao Cao doesn't mess around anymore, Zhang Xiu will not rebel again if he surrenders.

However, with Chen Zhou here, Zhang Xiu must not be able to rebel, and in the battle of Wancheng, it is easy for Chen Zhou to change the ending.

"Wataru thinks about it, it's similar to ours."

Guo Jia agreed: "Whether it is our opinion or Zhicai's analysis, in fact, it is not wrong, as long as our army goes south, Zhang Xiu has no ability to resist at all." In addition to surrendering, it is a battle to the death, and if we choose to fight to the death, we can attack by force. ”

Unless Xiangyang sends troops to rescue, Wancheng will definitely be able to take it.

However, Wancheng was farther away from Xiangyang, and by the time Liu Biao's reinforcements arrived, Wancheng had already changed hands.

Originally, this was a must-win situation, and if Cao Cao didn't shoot that shot, there would be no problem in taking Wancheng.

"You're right!"

Cao Cao thought for a long time and said: "In two days, I will arrange to go to Wancheng, and the battle will be resolved quickly, do you want to go together?" ”

"Absolutely."

Chen Zhou agreed.

To change the outcome of the Battle of Wancheng, he had to go in person.

"Lord!"

Xun Yu said: "I have a suggestion, in the name of the Son of Heaven, it is best to get the edict of the Son of Heaven, and this is to crusade against Dong Zhuo's old department, which is justified." ”

"If this is the plan, it is very much in line with me."

Cao Cao's eyes lit up.

Many times, the name of the Son of Heaven is still very useful.

Even if Liu Biao wants to save Wancheng, in the name of the Son of Heaven, it is not easy to meddle in and do anything.

"That's it, you wait for me to arrange."

Cao Cao directly confirmed.

Today's deliberation will soon be over.

Chen Zhou said goodbye to everyone and went home to tell Cao Shan that he was ready to go with the army.

Cao Cao went directly to the palace and mentioned the matter to Liu Xie.

Liu Xie hated Dong Zhuo very much, and when he heard that he was going to crusade against Dong Zhuo's old department, he agreed directly without saying a word.

The edict of the Son of Heaven is easy to get.

The news of the crusade against Dong Zhuo's old ministry was announced to the world.

That's right.

Then, Cao Cao officially launched troops against Wancheng and led the army to the south to defeat Dong Zhuo's old army.

For a time, many people's eyes gathered on Wancheng.

——

Wancheng.

Cao Cao's army has not yet arrived, but news of Xu Du has been delivered.

At this time, Zhang Xiu sent people to Xiangyang to ask Liu Biao to send troops to support, and for a while, the people were panicked and the army was unstable.

There are less than 10,000 of them.

Cao Cao went south, the number of people is unknown, but it will definitely not be less.

If Cao Cao attacked Wancheng, they would definitely not be able to wait for Xiangyang's support.

"Sir, we shouldn't stay in Wancheng!"

Zhang Xiu said anxiously.

Help Liu Biao, the enemy who killed his uncle, stay in Wancheng to guard against Cao Cao, except for getting a city, there is basically no other benefit, and he has to be beaten by Cao Cao, in the face of Cao Cao's upcoming army, he has no way at all.

The most important thing is that Cao Cao received the edict of the Son of Heaven and sent troops to Wancheng in the name of crusading against Dong Zhuo's old department, even if Liu Biao had the heart to save them, he did not dare to disobey the order of the Son of Heaven.

The Son of Heaven hates Dong Zhuo very much.

"Don't worry, general."

Jia Xu didn't see the slightest panic, and said very calmly: "From the moment I suggested that the general take Wancheng, I took into account that there would be today, and everything was in my expectation. ”

In Zhang Xiu's voice, he asked hopefully: "Could it be that Mr. has a way to repel Cao Cao?" ”

Jia Xu shook his head and said: "I have no way to retreat Cao Cao, but we can surrender Cao Cao, this is the only way out for the general." ”

"Surrender Cao Cao?"

Zhang Xiu asked incomprehensibly: "Why did we take refuge in Cao Cao?" ”

Jia Xu analyzed: "Liu Biao in Jingzhou has long lost the pride of entering Jingzhou as a horse back then. Inside Jingzhou, there are many families, there are many factions, we stay in Jingzhou, it is difficult to occupy a place, even if we break away from Liu Biao and stand on their own, but there is only one Wancheng at the beginning, and there is basically no possibility of development. ”

In fact, he still didn't make it clear, Zhang Xiu did not have the ability to stand on his own and dominate.

The only way to take refuge in others is to find someone to cling to.

"Look at Cao Cao again."

"In the past two years, I will defeat Lu Bu, recover Puyang, take Yuzhou, welcome the Son of Heaven, and pacify Yongzhou."

"can still deal with Yuan Shao's restraints."

"If Yuan Shao can't suppress Cao Cao, he will definitely be attacked by Cao Cao."

"I can't guarantee the south, but in the near future, the northern part of the Han Dynasty will definitely be occupied by Cao Cao."

"I suggest that the general occupy Wancheng, in fact, it is to wait for Cao Cao to go south, and there is an opportunity to join Cao Cao."

"Among the princes of the world, only Cao Cao is worthy of the general's refuge, and the others are nothing more than that."

"If the general believes in my plan, he can be safe and sound, otherwise what will happen, I can't judge."

"Cao Cao will probably be able to come to the city tomorrow, the general may wish to think about it."

Jia Xu said what he thought and what he planned.

What to do next depends on how Zhang Xiu thinks about it.

Zhang Xiu fell into deep thought.

I wonder if I should surrender or not.

But he felt that in fact, Jia Xu wanted to take refuge in Cao Cao, so he was at the mercy of himself, and he got involved in it, and he had the current result, and he was somewhat unhappy in his heart, but he did not deny that Jia Xu's words were very right.

Among the princes of the world, there is really only Cao Cao, who is worthy of him to take refuge.

Yuan Shu and Yuan Shao, he didn't necessarily get attention when he went, and he was quickly marginalized.

If you take refuge in Liu Bei, Lu Bu and others, it is better to stay by Liu Biao's side.

After Jia Xu finished speaking, he quieted down and waited for Zhang Xiu's response, not worried that Zhang Xiu would not listen to him.

If he didn't listen, Zhang Xiu would be beaten in addition to running away.
