Chapter 159 No Eternal Enemy 2

When Lv Bu sent a messenger to return from Wancheng to Pengcheng, he told Lv Bu that Wancheng Zhangxiu was willing to join hands with Lv Bu to deal with Cao Cao. On the same day, Lv Bu informed Liu Bei, who was stationed in Xiaopei, that the two sides gathered troops to attack Cao Cao's nest, Gongzhou City.

At the same time, Cao Cao, accompanied by Guo Jia, led 30,000 troops to travel hundreds of kilometers. It took three days to march for hundreds of miles. It was not Cao Cao deliberately doing it, but carrying a large number of siege equipment that affected the speed of the march.

A moment of spring night is worth a lot of money. After Cao Cao and Guo Jia rained in a tent, the next morning, under the service of the artjis, they washed up and walked out of the tent in high spirits. Cao Cao was dressed in purple gold armor, with a purple gold sword hanging around his waist. His face was as calm as in the ancient well, just like in the past. Guo Jia was dressed in a white brocade robe and covered with a cloak with a fur collar. His eyes were still as clear as a mountain spring, and there was no trace of a night of indulgence.

In the open space, Cao Cao patrolled the camp. As far as he can see: the super general Xia Houchun, the fierce general Cao Hong and other generals are eating breakfast with their subordinates.

Cao Cao and Guo Jia came to the place where the bodyguard camp ate. They saw that the other tiger guards were full, but only Xu Zhu, the deputy commander of the bodyguard, continued to eat. When Cao Cao and others saw Xu Chu's eating appearance, even if they were full, they couldn't help thinking: Is the food really so delicious? Is Xu Chu really that hungry?

Cao Cao and others know that Xu Chu's food is very large, and one person's food is equal to that of five guards. And the amount of food for a tiger guard is equal to that for three ordinary strong men. Cao Cao's tiger guards are at least 19 meters in diameter, with wide arms and round waists.

After eating, Xu Chu stood up and smiled at Cao Cao and Guo Jia. Cao Cao looked up at Xu Chu, who was two heads taller than him, smiled and raised his thumbs up to express his affirmation and approval. No one dares to make fun of Xu Chu's appetite, because Xu Zhu's combat effectiveness is absolutely proportional to his appetite! Xu Chu's appetite is amazing, and his combat effectiveness is also apparing. Ordinary super warriors are no match for him.

In the collective attention ceremony of Hu Wei, Cao Cao and Guo Jia returned to the main camp. At this time, Cao Jun finished breakfast and began to demolish the camp and prepare to start. Outside the camp, Cao Jun was busy in an orderly manner, while Cao Cao and Guo Jia were looking at the military map on the table.

Guo Jia pointed to the location of Wancheng on the map and said slowly to Cao Cao, "Mr. Cao, if everything goes well, we can reach Yucheng in two days... As long as we occupy Yucheng, our army can reach Wancheng overnight. As long as we defeat the garrison and occupy Wancheng, we can complete the strategic intention of isolating Liu Biao in Jingzhou and Yuan Shu in Huainan. Next, we can let go of our hands and feet to attack Lv Bu and Liu Bei, who are in Pengcheng..."

Cao Cao listened to Guo Jia's analysis, looked at the map, and nod silently. He knew that if there was no accident, Cao Jun would be able to capture Wancheng as he wished, but what's the truth?

"Feng Xiao, it is estimated that Lv Bu and Liu Bei of Pengcheng have a secret alliance with Zhang Xiu of Wancheng at this time!" Cao Cao said thoughtfully.

"Ha ha, Duke Cao, it is estimated that Lv Bu and Liu Bei have gathered troops and sent to Gongzhou City at this time..." Guo Jia said lightly following Cao Cao's topic. Some words, even if the two of them don't say it, they know it well: for example, Lv Bu learned that Cao Cao led the army to personally conquer Wancheng, which caused the empty military strength of Nonzhou City. In the face of such a once-in-a-lifetime fighter, Lv Bu must have sent an envoy to Wancheng to make a secret alliance with Zhang Xiu; and then Zhang Xiu's side used it as bait to attract Cao's army. At the same time, Lv Bu and Liu Bei joined hands to attack the empty Gongzhou...

Cao Cao raised his head and looked at the distance and said indifferently, "In the current situation, our attack on Wancheng is still famous - to fight against the remnants of the rebel Xiliang Legion; while Lv Bu and Liu Bei's joint attack on Gongzhou City is a violation of the rules, breaking the balance, which is purely a robbery... ...At that time, we will also have a reason to fight back..."

When Guo Jia heard the words, he did not refute Cao Cao. He thought to himself: In fact, there is a legitimate reason for Lv Bu and Liu Bei to join hands to attack Gongzhou City. They must have raised the banner of "kill Cao Thieves and avenge the people of Xuzhou" and attacked Gongzhou City. Otherwise, Liu Bei, who has always been loyal to justice, will never go through this mud. Water...

Guo Jia stared at Cao Cao and whispered, "Mr. Cao, combined with the current information and intelligence in all aspects, I think there is a phenomenon that can explain whether Zhang Xiu in Wancheng has secretly allied with Lv Bu in Pengcheng: if Zhang Xiu, who is in Wancheng, is suddenly stationed in Yucheng, it shows that Zhang Xiu and Lv Bu have secretly allied! Cao Gong, if Zhang Xiu is stationed in Yucheng, even if Zhang Xiu is hindered by new hatred and old hatred and does not form an alliance with Lv Bu, it at least shows that Lv Bu told Zhang Xiu about the movement of our army. In this way, Zhang Xiu's side will definitely rely on the fortifications of Yucheng to block our attack..."

Xiliang Iron Cavalry is not good at defending the city. The iron cavalry, who is used to fighting in the field, does not refuse to fight outside the city, does not engage in ambush and sneak attacks, but actually engages in the defense of the city, which obviously shows that Zhang Xiu wants to use the city to delay Cao Cao's 30,000 troops. Why should we contain Cao Cao? That must have cooperated with Lv Bu and Liu Bei's allied forces to attack Guzhou... This is the lice on the bald man's head - an obvious thing.

"Yucheng?!" Cao Cao almost muttered to himself. In Cao Cao's heart, he wanted to deal with Wancheng overnight. If he couldn't deal with Wancheng, his old nest, Gozhou City, would definitely be lost. He didn't know what would happen to him after Lv Bu and Liu Bei occupied the city of Guzhou... Cao Cao was not sure.

"Hehe, Cao Gong, don't worry! Even if we fail to attack Wancheng and lose the city of Gongzhou at the same time, we still get invisible benefits... Mr. Cao, please believe in the judgment of humble position: this kind of benefit may be a benefit that can't be obtained by soldiers to completely defeat the other party!" Guo Jia said with a smile. The two seemed to wear a pair of trousers, a nostril out of breath, a grasshopper on a rope, each other's worm in the stomach, a slight action of the other party: squinting, wiping their nose, slightly changing faces, they will know the change of each other's mind. From this, a flash of light flashed in Guo Jia's mind, and he immediately changed the topic and said, "Mr. Cao, if Wancheng Zhangxiu can think of relying on Yucheng to resist our attack, it means that it is the plot of the poisoner Jia Xu, not Zhang Xiu's idea!"

"Jia Xu?" At this time, Cao Cao's eyes had narrowed into a slit, and his words were more like a dream.

Guo Jia felt that Cao Cao's focus of thinking had been focused on Jia Xu at this time. After thinking for a while, he slowly said to Cao Cao, "Mr. Cao, according to his humble understanding of Jia Xu, his military and government ability is also outstanding. Although Jia Xu is known as a poisoner, this is not the case. It's a little exaggerated! Jia Xu's past highlights and the highlights of his scheme, if he changes *, if he does not serve the Xiliang Legion, his character will not be questioned by the world! ...Cao Gong, I feel that Jia Xu is not really assisting Zhang Xiu. Of course, with Jia Xu's talent and ability, Wancheng can't accommodate him! ... Mr. Cao, although the humble position has not seen Jia Xu, the humble position vaguely feels that Jia Xu is a person with extreme self-esteem! If Cao Gong can attract Jia Xu, then Cao Gong's beautiful blueprint will be realized more smoothly!"

"Um..." Cao Cao opened his eyes and looked at Guo Jia and nodded with satisfaction. Guo Jia is so understanding. Guo Jia can understand Cao Cao's thoughts, accurately say Cao Cao's inner thoughts, and is the kind of broken. Many years later, an understanding figure appeared around Cao Cao, but this person was right with Cao everywhere, and was finally killed by Cao Cao... This person's wisdom is not low, but he doesn't have the heart like Guo Jiahai. Guo Jia especially respects outstanding talents, even if that kind of person has such shortcomings and quirks. ! Guo Jia has always been self-serving, because he has a lot of problems.

Of course, Guo Jia knows Cao Cao's ever-changing thoughts. In order to make Cao Cao's thinking and mood relaxed, he smiled and said to Cao Cao, "Ha ha, Lord Cao, there are only a few possible changes in the current war situation: either we will capture Wancheng overnight and eliminate Zhang Xiu, or we will fall into Zhang Xiu and Lv. The attack between the two sides... Two days later, we will arrive in Yucheng. If Zhang Xiu's army did not occupy Yucheng at that time, and there is no dangerous news from our rear, we will take down Wancheng in one fell swoop with lightning speed; but Wan Yixiu led his army into Yucheng to set off the position to block our side. Cao Gong is about to lead the army to retreat..."

"Well, let our army act according to Feng Xiao's plan!" Cao Cao smiled relaxedly and said to Guo Jia. Guo Jia nodded with the same relaxed smile. Cao Cao looked at Guo Jia's clear eyes, with a free and easy smile and a young face. He couldn't help admiring in his heart: How lucky he was to meet a magical military master like Guo Jia! Things are like God's counselors around. What other difficulties can't be overcome in front of you? What other princes are not conquered?

The energy of a super counselor is no less than the combat effectiveness of a 50,000-strong army! How much material does it take to raise an army of 50,000 people? And how much material does it take to support a super counselor? In terms of cost and effect, the two really can't be compared with each other.

On this day, Cao Cao led a large army to a hundred miles away from Yucheng. Only then did Cao Cao issue a military order to camp, and several scouts galloped from the direction of Yucheng. They rushed to Cao Cao before slowing down and turning off the horse. This is the small privilege of the scout, but he is running at high speed in the camp.

"Report to Cao Mu! Zhang Xiu has led the army to occupy Yucheng!" The leader's captain nodded on one knee and gasped to Cao Cao.

Although it was expected, Cao Cao's face couldn't help changing slightly when he heard the latest news. After that, Cao Cao ordered the scouts to continue to inquire about the movements of Zhang Xiu's army. After the scouts left quickly, Cao Cao sat down with Guo Jia to discuss the issue of the army's stay.
