Before Cao Cao could reprimand him, Xun Yu hurriedly ran in.
Xun Yu had always been steady and rarely looked so flustered. Cao Cao and Guo Jia looked at each other and saw the worry in each other's eyes.
"Wen Ruo, why are you so nervous?"
" My lord, Gongsun Zan has been defeated, and he has been completely defeated…"
Hearing this, Cao Cao's expression turned serious,""This Gongsun Zan is a veteran who has been on the battlefield for many years. He has hundreds of thousands of elite soldiers under him. Damn it, it's really too despicable!"
The reason why Cao Cao dared to send his troops to Xuzhou was because Gongsun Zan was still holding him back. If Gongsun Zan was defeated, it meant that Yuan Shao would have nothing to worry about.
Who else could be his next target other than Cao Cao?
"Is the information accurate?"
Cao Cao still had a sliver of hope.
"Absolutely."
At this moment, Xun Yu did not dare to say anything else.
In an instant, Cao Cao's mood fell from the peak to the bottom. His brows were furrowed into a line. He closed his eyes in pain and sighed,"Do the two of you have a way to deal with it?"
At this moment, Cao Cao was not even interested in having lunch.
" My lord, although Yuan Shao has an army of a million, he doesn't have any famous people who can really strategize under him. In terms of soldiers and generals, we are not afraid…" Guo Jia's eyes flickered, and he analyzed it thoroughly in just a moment."As long as the strategy is appropriate, it won't be difficult to defeat a large number of enemies. The most worrying thing now was…the problem of food supplies.”
"What Fengxiao is worried about is the most troublesome thing for us right now.”
Xun Yu continued," Our army has been fighting for many years and has no food reserves at all. When Yuan Shao gathers the north, I'm afraid our food supplies will be cut off.”
"I know that."
Cao Cao immediately felt a splitting headache as he rubbed his Taiyang acupoint,""If all the soldiers are engaged in agricultural production, our combat strength will definitely decline. The original difference in quantity will become a difference in quality. I will definitely lose the battle with Yuan Shao.”
Cao Cao was originally a Cavalry Lieutenant, how could he not understand this logic?
However, Xun Yu and Guo Jia didn't dare to reply.
He didn't know how to receive it.
After a while.
Cao Cao's eyes were filled with unwillingness."Quickly deal with the matter of Xu Prefecture. Kill all the prisoners of war who haven't been brought back to Xu Prefecture.”
"Killed?"
Xun Yu's expression changed.
"Wen Ruo, we don't have enough rations to feed the captives.”
Guo Jia answered this question for Cao Cao.
"Wen Ruo, pass down the order. Tomorrow, the army will return to Xuchang!”
"Feng Xiao, immediately gather Cheng Yu and the others to see if there are any other solutions.”
"Wait, send a horse to catch up to the Mystic Immortal and tell him about this.”
“……”
Unfortunately, Xu Prefecture's fast horses could not catch up to Guo Yun no matter what.
" It's the third year of Jian 'an, which is 199 AD. According to the records of the Three Kingdoms, Zhao Yun left Gongsun Zan in 192. He's not in Xuzhou now. Maybe he still has a chance…"
Because of Liu Bei's matter, Guo Yun went to inquire about it and found that it was different from what he remembered.
At this moment, Liu Bei only had the two generals of Guan and Zhang, and no white-robed soldiers.
In other words, the Victorious General had yet to join Liu Bei.
Ye City!
Zhao Yun met Liu Bei in Ye City.
"If I remember correctly, Liu Bei was being chased by Yuan Shao. Zhao Zilong protected him along the way and saved his life to meet Zhang Fei.”
Guo Yun thought.
His goal was very clear. The world was big, and there were many fierce generals, each with their own merits.
However, in terms of protection ability, only Zhao Zilong of Changshan was the king.
In this aspect, even Lu Bu and Xu Chu were far inferior to Zhao Yun.
Protecting a beauty was just a lie to fool Guo Jia. With Cao Cao's orders, Le Jin, Li Dian, and the others wouldn't dare to act rashly even if they had ten thousand guts.
"Mystic Immortal, why are we going to Jianye? That's Yuan Shao's territory!"
Xu Chu received Cao Cao's order to protect Guo Yun. When he heard that his destination was Jianye, he was shocked.
"It's fine. Yuan Shao is attacking Gongsun Zan with all his might right now.!”
After the Battle of Xu Prefecture, Gongsun Zan was quickly defeated, which was why there was the Battle of Guandu 200 years ago.
Guo Yun remembered this very clearly.
He did not believe that a small chef like him could affect such a big event.
"For the lord!"
Guo Yun said in a righteous tone,""Old Xu, you know that there will definitely be a battle between the lord and Yuan Shao, but Yuan Shao has the Four Court Pillars of Hebei under his command. What about the lord's subordinates?”
"I'm here!"
"That's right. Only you, Old Xu, can fight against them. But if you go to the battlefield, who will be in charge of the lord's safety?”
"Lejin?"
"Li Dian?"
"Xu Huang?"
"None of them can. Only Old Xu's bravery can truly protect the lord's safety, right?”
"O(Empyrean_Empyrean)O Mm!"”
There was nothing wrong with it.
Just like that, Xu Chu followed Guo Yun through Yanzhou and into Jianye, acting as a bodyguard.
"Xuan Xian, you also know that Old Xu's reputation is out there. Once I enter Jianye, I will definitely be discovered by Yuan Shao's spies, so we can only stay in Jianye for a day at most!”
When they arrived near Jianye, Xu Chu gave a rare warning.
Guo Yun thought for a moment. Although Xu Chu's words sounded like he was pretending, it was not without reason." That's true. Old Xu, wait for me outside the city…"
Xu Chu: ()b
