When Chen Yan learned of this, he was really angry, and immediately sighed: "I knew that Yuan Shu was an ungrateful person, but I didn't expect it to be so vicious. At the beginning of Cao Cao's Eastern Expedition, I was kind enough to invite him to carve up Yanzhou with me, but he spent the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain, he hesitated, did not trust me, and missed this great opportunity, and now he saw that I almost took Puyang, and he was jealous in his heart, but he came to me behind me and stabbed me? ”

Guo Jia also showed anger on his face, and immediately said: "Yuan Shu is indeed a little smaller, and he does not have the temperament of a hero in his heart, but he always wants to do big things to compete for the world, which is really shameful." But now that Yuan Shubing has committed Xu County, I'm afraid he also has the intention of avenging Ji Ling at the beginning, right? ”

When Chen Yan heard this, he remembered that he had indeed humiliated Ji Ling at the beginning, so he was really a little wrong.

But no matter what, after all, the strategic alliance between the two is still continuing, and it is really despicable for someone like Yuan Shu who does not consider the interests of the alliance at all and only knows that he is acting arbitrarily.

Thinking of this, Chen Yan immediately beckoned his subordinates and said, "Come to the big tent of the Chinese army, let's discuss it!" ”

A moment later, Chen Yan's subordinates had already arrived in the Chinese military tent, and everyone was angry when they heard that Yuan Shu had disobeyed the alliance and openly stabbed him in the back.

Chen Yan cleared his throat and said first: "Just now, General Xu Huang of Xu County sent a letter, saying that Yuan Shu raised a three-way army, headed by Ji Ling, supplemented by Chen Lan and Lei Bo, a total of 500,000 people, and he was heading towards Xu County, with a very obvious intention, that is, he wanted to seize my territory. Why do you think so? ”

As soon as these words came out, there was an uproar in the military tent.

Yuan Shu is nothing special about this person, his strategic vision and personal charm are not good, and he does not have too strong generals under him, but Ji Ling is a little famous, but this person has plenty of troops, and he can send an army of four or five hundred thousand to sweep out at every turn, which is indeed unguardable.

But now Chen Yan is besieging Cao Cao with a large army, Puyang City has become a candle in the wind, and it is about to be broken in a blink of an eye, but at this time, there is a fire in the backyard, and Yuan Shu's army is approaching Xu County, doesn't it make Chen Yan embarrassed on both sides?

Chen Yan naturally understood this matter in his heart, and he had to ask Jia Xu and Guo Jia, Chen Yan slowly looked at Jia Xu, and said first: "Mr. Wenhe, now that we are besieging Cao Cao, we are about to succeed, but Yuan Shu's army must be guarded against, plus Yuan Shu's army is too strong, we can't divide our troops and reject it, how should we choose?" ”

Jia Xu knew that Chen Yan would definitely ask him first, he stepped forward, his eyes were still as sharp as a wolf, and his face was even more confident, only to hear him say slowly: "Lord, and allow me to dare to point out your two misjudgments." ”

Chen Yan didn't expect that he had made a mistake in judgment, and there were as many as two places, so he immediately hurriedly said, "Please!" ”

Jia Xu said: "The lord made a mistake, and he really can't complain about the lord, but the bystanders are clear, and the authorities are confused." ”

When everyone heard Jia Xu say this, they all pricked up their ears, waiting for Jia Xu to explain.

I only heard Jia Xu continue: "The lord's two misjudgments, the first is Puyang City. Now that we have surrounded Cao Cao for several months, Cao Cao seems to be a candle in the wind, crumbling, but in fact, he is still a trapped beast, and the more he fights, the more courageous he becomes. At first, when we attacked the city, relying on the benefit of catapults, we almost broke through the west city gate, but later encountered Cao Ren's cavalry strategy, resulting in the destruction of all catapults, after that battle, it was basically determined that our army would not be able to capture this Puyang City if it did not have a year and a half. ”

Jia Xu said this, everyone was shocked, Cao Cao seemed to have run out of oil, why is it that now Jia Xu said it, but it has become impossible to attack in a short time?

Jia Xu also knew that everyone was confused, so he immediately did not panic and talked eloquently: "As soon as our army killed Cao Hong and Lejin, the whole army of Cao Jun was sad, and the mourning soldiers were victorious, which was a major factor; And the Cao army is now only Puyang and the three cities of Dongjun, if Puyang misses, the three cities of Dongjun are the places of four battles, and they cannot be held, so the Cao army is fighting against the water, which is the two main reasons for the Cao army's stubborn resistance. ”

When everyone heard this, they all thought that what Jia Xu said was good, and suddenly became silent.

Jia Xu continued: "And our attack on Puyang also has drawbacks. First, our battle front is too long, Xuxian and Chenliu are newly occupied, not yet stable, and there is a danger of rebellion at any time, and these two cities are now in urgent need of governance, so our first task is to defend the land, not to urgently need to expand the territory. ”

When Chen Yan heard this, he thought it was true, he nodded deeply, and said in his heart: "Yes, now my sphere of influence is indeed expanding too fast, I'm afraid I won't digest it......"

Jia Xu continued: "And the second is that the rear is unstable, whether it is Yuan Shu or Liu Bei, it is a hidden danger in our rear, if we can't calm the hidden danger, we will be restless when we capture Puyang!" ”

After hearing this, Chen Yan got up and thanked: "Thank you Mr. Wenhe for your words, if it weren't for your words, I would have almost made a big mistake!" ”

Jia Xu hurriedly returned the salute, not daring to take credit.

Chen Yan continued to ask: "Then where is my second misjudgment?" ”

Jia Xu said: "The second mistake is Lu Bu and Liu Bei. ”

Chen Yan was a little puzzled and asked, "Where does this start?" ”

Jia Xu said: "Although Yuan Shu is not outstanding, he is not a mediocre talent, he has been able to navigate in this troubled world for more than ten years, naturally not by luck." Now that he has sent troops to Xuxian County, he seems to covet the lord's territory, but secretly I am afraid that he is worried about the land of Xuzhou. ”

When Chen Yan heard this, he suddenly realized: "I see! Mr. means that Yuan Shusheng is attacking the west, and it seems that he is here to attack Xu County, but in fact, he wants to send troops to Xuzhou! ”

Jia Xu nodded yes.

At this moment, Chen Gong suddenly came out and said: "Mr. Wenhe's words coincide with me, and I also think that Yuan Shu is insidious and cunning, I'm afraid he doesn't just want to get involved in Yanzhou." He is in Huainan, which is adjacent to Xuzhou, and he has been coveting Xuzhou since Tao Qian's death! ”

When Chen Yan heard this, he immediately asked, "Then what do you mean is that I should let go of Puyang and fight against Yuan Shu first?" ”

Jia Xu nodded and said, "Judging from the current situation, this is indeed the case. ”

Chen Yan bowed his head and was silent, falling into deep thought.

Guo Jia saw Chen Yan's doubts and asked in a low voice, "Is the lord worried that Cao Cao can take advantage of this opportunity to make a comeback?" ”

Chen Yan nodded and said: "I still understand me, Cao Cao is a hero who is not born in the world, if he indulges a little, I am afraid he will make waves......"

When Jia Xu Chen Gong heard this, they all persuaded in unison: "But Yuan Shu is a fierce tiger, you must not guard against it!" ”

After hearing this, Chen Yan let out another long sigh and fell into deep thought......
