A group of generals rushed over.
Other than Xun You and Xiahou Yuan, who were in charge of the salt road, and Guo Yun and Xu Chu, who were far away in the military camp, the other core personnel were all present.
"
Yuan Shao has just been defeated and has retreated to Liyang," Cao Cao said with an imposing manner.”
"My battle with Yuan Shao is unavoidable.”
"Therefore, we should take this opportunity to go north and expand our victory!”
Other than Guo Jia and Xun Yu, who knew what Cao Cao was thinking, the other civil and military officials looked at each other.
"My Lord, isn't this move too rash?”
"Why don't we wait for the abstruse immortal to come and ask for his opinion?" Cao Hong raised an objection.”
"We definitely have to ask for opinions, but as the lord's strategists, we should also have our own opinions. If we rely on Xuan Immortals for everything, it's inevitable that we can't do everything.”
Guo Jia said earnestly,"Delaying the opportunity is indeed beneficial for us. However, the recruitment of soldiers has stagnated, and we have sufficient rations. There won't be any immediate results even if we delay it for another month or two.
This is a waste of time, a waste of this great opportunity!”
After Guo Jia finished speaking, everyone fell into deep thought. Xun Yu added,"I agree with Feng Xiao's suggestion. Our army's rations are enough to last us for three months. When the autumn harvest comes, there will definitely be no problem with the rations.”
"Yuan Shao has just been defeated, and he has split his forces into Qingzhou. For a time, Li Yang will not be able to gather a large number of troops, and our chances of winning are high.”
Jia Xu's eyes focused, and a bright light flashed as he said,""That's right, going against the norm will definitely be able to achieve unexpected results. I think Yuan Shao would never have thought that under such a situation where there was such a huge disparity in strength, our army would still dare to go north and attack Liyang.”
"Retreat ten thousand steps and say that if you can't take Liyang, you can retreat to Baima and defend.”
"Not bad!"
Jia Xu's words immediately received the approval of the generals.
Those present were all soldiers who had experienced the battlefield. They naturally understood that having the geographical advantage could give them a huge advantage.
"Milords, have you forgotten something?”
At this moment, Cao Pi, who was in charge of listening to the lecture, finally spoke up.""There are still 200,000 troops stationed in Qingzhou! If there are any unusual movements in Qingzhou, wouldn't our army be surrounded by enemies from both sides?”
Everyone fell silent.
There was indeed such a possibility. If they wanted to launch a surprise attack on Li Yang, they would have to use two elite troops to achieve the desired effect.
The remaining troops still had to defend other cities, so there were very few troops that could be transferred to Xuzhou.
"With Zhongde's abilities, I believe he can handle it.”
Guo Jia said irresponsibly,""This kind of opportunity is once in a blue moon. If we worry about gains and losses, by the time Yuan Shao recovers, it will be too late!”
"My lord!"
At this moment, Guo Yun and Xu Chu, who everyone had been waiting for, finally arrived.
"Haha, abstruse immortal, you're finally here. There's a piece of great news, do you know?”
Jia Xu took the lead to welcome him, shouting with a smile on his face.
Looking at Jia Xu's appearance, Guo Yun was stunned.
Usually, when Cao Cao summoned, there would be a problem. Guo Yun was already used to this.
"Yuan Shao really didn't send his troops from Qingzhou, but sent Yan Liang and Wen Chou to attack Whiterun!”
"Guan Yu didn't disappoint. He killed Yan Liang and Wen Chou in two rounds and repelled 30,000 cavalry!”
"..."
As Jia Xu spoke, his gaze slowly turned towards Guo Yun."Isn't this expected?”
Cao Cao: (⊙⊙)
Jia Xu: (-Delta-)
Xun Yu: (⊙o⊙)?”
"0-0?!" Cao Ren asked.
This?
This act was a little too much.
"Why are abstruse immortals so sure?!”
Guo Jia found a way out for everyone. As soon as he finished speaking, he regretted it.
Why should I ask him?
Wasn't this looking for trouble?
"Big brother, can't you tell?"
Guo Yun asked with a puzzled expression,"But that's normal. After all, big brother isn't a general.”
But that was normal?
After all, Big Brother wasn't a general?
Was this human language?
Guo Jiayi's face was gloomy as he pondered for a while. He looked at Cao Ren, Xiahou Dun, and the others and asked,""All of you are generals, do you see anything?”
Cao Ren said,"Cow!"
Xiahou Dun said,"
Alright, Mystic Immortal, stop keeping me in suspense."”
Cao Cao was in an extremely good mood. He waved his hand with a smile.
"Guan Yu's martial strength far surpasses Yan Liang and Wen Chou. What's so strange about him being able to kill them?"”
"In addition, Guan Yu is a guilty person. In order to repay the emperor's kindness, he can only repay it with battle achievements. It's fine if he doesn't attack, but once he attacks, he will definitely go all out!”
"As for Yan Liang and Wen Chou, they defeated Gongsun Zan. Even a hundred thousand soldiers could not do anything to them, so how could the two of them put a small city with a few thousand soldiers in their eyes?”
"With this, Guan Yu can easily kill the two of them!”
After Cao Cao finished speaking, all the generals and strategists were stunned, their eyes filled with disbelief.
"I see!"
Xun Yu revealed a look of realization and said in admiration,""My lord, you have indeed seen through everything."
"Haha, this is still the credit of Xuan Xian. If he didn't determine that Yuan Shao wouldn't use troops from Qingzhou, how could our army have such a great victory?”
After Cao Cao praised him, he looked at Guo Yun and asked,""Xuan Xian, taking advantage of Yuan Shao's recent defeat, our army is going north, what do you think?”
Everyone quickly came back to their senses and looked at Guo Yun expectantly.
Guo Yun had inherited the teachings of Li Cunxiao and was well versed in the art of war. He immediately understood,
"My lord, do you want to follow the white horse and attack Liyang while Yuan Shao's morale is low?”
"That's right, that's what Feng Xiao means.”
Cao Cao added.
Guo Jia
felt a chill in her heart.
Was this a slap in the face again?
Guo Yun pondered for a moment and said,"Since it's big brother's opinion, I believe it won't be wrong."”
What?
Guo Jia was stunned when he heard that.
"This matter concerns the life and death of our army. If you have any other opinions, feel free to voice them!”
"Mystic Immortal, you don't have to care about my feelings!”
"..."
Guo Jia said righteously.
He couldn't be blamed for this. Ever since the battle of Xu Prefecture, he felt that his intelligence had dropped.
Every time he made a plan, Guo Yun would find out the problem.
Moreover, it was the kind that could not be refuted.
"That's right, abstruse immortal, you don't need to care about your big brother's feelings!”
Jia Xu echoed from the side.
Guo Jia,"Zero?!"
Did you say that?
"Military affairs are ever-changing. Even I can't take care of every step.”
Guo Yun thought for a moment and answered honestly.
After all, the current situation in the north was different from the Guandu Battle he remembered.
Yan Liang had indeed died under Guan Yu's blade, but Wen Chou was not. He had been shot to death by random arrows in battle.
Hearing Guo Yun's humble reply, the civil and military officials present were a little uncomfortable.
Guo Jia asked tentatively,""Are you feeling unwell? Are you feeling hot?"
"
Nonsense, the Mystic Immortal is fine. How could she be sick?”
Even Cao Cao couldn't bear to listen to this. How could you curse my chief strategist?
Even if it's your own brother who's trying to suppress you!
"My lord is right."
Guo Jia looked helpless.
Xun Yu and the others covered their mouths and laughed.
Everyone knew how much Cao Cao loved Guo Yun.
Even though Cao Ren had complained several times that Guo Yun was not doing his job properly and ignored the military, Cao Cao ignored him and allowed him to drink and sleep.
Even Xu Chu did not receive such treatment.
Not to mention the others.
After Guo Yun's analysis, he pointed out the key points."However, we have to guard against Qingzhou. Although Cheng Yu is a veteran, it is quite difficult for him to face Liu Bei and Zhang Fei. In addition to the disparity in strength, the Mystic Immortal believes that the Lord needs to divide his troops and increase the number of troops in Xuzhou just in case.”
"That's right, Pi 'er also mentioned this point. I wonder who the abstruse immortal thinks is more suitable?”
Cao Cao looked around and said,""Everyone should understand that our army is limited. Even if we send reinforcements to Xu Prefecture, we can't bring too many soldiers with us. Once war breaks out…"
Cao Cao didn't finish his sentence, but everyone present knew.
If the Qingzhou army charged in, they would probably be doomed.
The generals frowned and pondered. Even if they couldn't resist the Qingzhou army, they would have to stall for time to ensure that Cao Cao's Northern Expedition Army wouldn't be attacked from the front and back.
This difficulty was not just ordinary!
Cao Hong, Xia Hou, and the others didn't fear death. They were just afraid that they would delay the military aircraft and cause irreparable mistakes.
Cao Ren stepped forward and said with determination in his eyes,""My lord, I have already put my life on the line. I am just worried that I cannot control the situation well and will delay my lord's plans…"
After saying that, Cao Ren looked at Guo Yun, as if he hoped that he could suggest Cao Cao to agree.
Everyone's gazes also gathered over.
Indeed, Cao Ren was best at defense, so he was the most suitable person to help Xu Prefecture.
Guo Yun shook her head and said seriously,"My lord, there are many mountains at the border between Qingzhou and Xuzhou. We need a general who is good at guerrilla warfare in the mountains to command. General Cao Ren is not suitable for this.”
"I have already chosen someone in my heart. I hope my lord will agree!”
Hearing this!
All the generals present were shocked. Cao Cao laughed loudly and said,"Mystic Immortal, feel free to tell me. You can see through Guan Yu's ability with a single glance, so the candidate you recommend will definitely be the best!”
"Thank you, my lord!"
Guo Yun cupped his hands and bowed."There's no need for too many soldiers. I'll just take the cavalry camp that Zilong trained."”
"Huh?!"
"Lord?!"
Cao Cao was dumbfounded and only reacted after a long while."Men, summon the imperial physician!"
Guo Yun,"Convex!"
