"Following filial piety and caring leads to chaos. What we should be thinking about now is not how to regain the lost territory. The incident in Wancheng is a foregone conclusion and will be difficult to regain in a short time. As for the war at Lujiang, Wen Yuan cannot be attacked for a long time, and it is difficult to protect Zhou Lang's arrival. After that, if nothing changes, when the Prime Minister wakes up, we should persuade the Prime Minister to stop fighting with Jing Xiang for the time being and concentrate on dealing with the war in Jiangdong. We had never expected that Gongming would be defeated so quickly, and now Jing Xiang We have captured Yingchuan, and the old capital may be in danger!"
After Jia Xu said this, everyone suddenly realized that it was not that the generals in the Cao camp had not considered fighting against Jingxiang and Jiangdong two princes alone before, but no one expected that Wancheng would be defeated so quickly. If Lujiang is now captured, It would be possible to use Lujiang as a bargaining chip to encourage Jiangdong to fight Jingxiang and change the current decline, but now
Hearing this, Guo Jia nodded slightly and said to the ministers in the hall: "Everyone should leave first. Let's wait until the prime minister wakes up to make further plans."
Cao Cao was confused for a long time before he woke up in the Prime Minister's Mansion. When he woke up, he saw Er Xun, Guo Jia, and Jia Xu standing beside him. They all had tired looks on their faces. Cao Cao let out a long sigh and said to the four of them: "Everyone, can you?" Do you have a plan to regain the lost ground?¡±
When the four of them heard this, they all remained silent. When Cao Cao saw this, he knew how difficult it would be to retake Wancheng and the land of Yingchuan
Wancheng is the place where Jia Xu once guarded. Jia Xu must have a lot of affection for this place. Yingchuan is the hometown of Guo Jia and Er Xun. Now that these two places have been lost, these four people are probably in a worse mood than themselves. Sad, thinking about this, Cao Cao sighed: "When Cao raised his army, he never thought that Jingxiang's fighting power would be so strong now. It would be effortless to seize my strong city"
Seeing Cao Cao so depressed. Guo Jia hurriedly tried to persuade him and said to Cao Cao: "When the Prime Minister wants to dominate the world, there is no need to care about the gains and losses of this city or one pond."
"If you lose one city today and lose another the next day, Cao Cao will be like the Qin Emperor and the Han Dynasty. He cannot withstand such losses" Cao Cao sighed and braced himself and said, "Cao Cao was just confused and thinking about this. The matter of the city. But I don¡¯t have a plan in my mind that can solve the current critical situation. Now the Jingxiang army has sent troops to Chang¡¯an, and Wancheng has also been captured by them. The situation is already established. If you rush to raise an army, you will be harmed. ." After Cao Cao finished speaking, the four of them nodded silently. But a moment later, Guo Jia said: "In the current situation, everyone thinks that the Prime Minister will stand still and not dare to fight to the death with Jing Xiang. Guo is interested and wants to get along with the Prime Minister. Army horses, look at the weight of Wolong and Fengchu!"
"Fengxiao must not act out of emotion!" Xunyu heard this and said hurriedly: "If there was no war in Lujiang, he also hoped that Fengxiao could regain the lost territory and save Xun's relatives from danger, but the current situation cannot tolerate any mistakes. Everything should be focused on the great cause of the Prime Minister!"
"Even Wen Ruo didn't expect that Guo wanted to conquer Wancheng. Who could have imagined that Guo wanted to take chestnuts from the fire?" After Guo Jia said this, everyone in the hall felt their eyes light up. Just a moment later, Cao Cao took the lead. He shook his head and said to Guo Jia: "Fengxiao, this plan is very dangerous, Cao will not allow it!"
"Does the Prime Minister not know the importance of Wancheng?" Guo Jia heard Cao Cao's words and couldn't help but sigh: "In the past, Gongming controlled Wancheng, but the Xiliang army led by Pang Tong of Chang'an was in the west and the troops of Jingxiang were in the south. Now Wancheng has been lost. , the troops and horses carried by Wolong and Fengchu have become one. If they do not recapture it quickly, the old capital of Xuchang, even Luoyang, and Yanzhou will all fall under the attack of Jingxiang's troops! Guo also disapproved of this before. At this moment, we will go to Wancheng to fight to the death with Jing Xiang, but Wancheng is too important to us!"
After Guo Jia said that, Cao Cao and everyone around him were silent. How could everyone not know that Wancheng was Cao Cao's gateway to resist Jing and Xiang's army, but now they were attacking and defending in a different position. Wolong and Fengxia were not short-sighted people. How easy is it to seize Wancheng?
??And now Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong have been in battle for a long time. They are no longer as confident as when they first came to the battlefield, Guo Jia, let alone these two working together
In the hall, everyone was speechless for a long time. After a long time, Cao Cao sighed and said to Guo Jiaqi: "Fengxiao, if Cao Cao allows you to conquer Wancheng, what are the chances of winning?"
Hearing this, Guo Jia smiled bitterly and said to Cao Cao: "Not even a single success, but the current situation is such that we have to take action. If the Prime Minister does not move, how can the Jingxiang army just capture Wancheng and be complacent? Don¡¯t you want to march north? This time, Guo tried his best to request a war. He didn¡¯t want to settle the situation in Wancheng in one battle, but just wanted to curb Jingxiang¡¯s arrogance. If he could drag the troops to Jiangdong to stop, the prime minister could personally order troops and horses to turn the tide, and then fight with that A battle between Jing and Xiang!"
When everyone in the hall heard Guo Jia's words, they were much more excited than before. For the current plan, the best way to fight against Jing and Xiang's army is to suppress its power sweeping the north. Cao Cao thought for a long time and stood up from the couch. , said to Guo Jiada: "Since Fengxiao's words are reasonable, Cao agreed to Fengxiao's request for war. All the generals in the court could be selected by Fengxiao. However, Cao wanted to keep Fengxiao in mind. If Jingxiang was powerful, Fengxiao would be independent. If it is difficult to support him, he will retreat to Hebei. Cao also?Blame it! "
Hearing the words, Guo Jia was moved in his heart. He nodded slightly, thought for a moment, and then said: "Guo will do his best to deal with Wancheng. However, the current situation has changed. It is no longer suitable for the prime minister to use troops on two fronts. He should send an envoy to Jiangdong to fight with him. Then Sun Quan will discuss the matter of the two armies striking off."
"Sun Quan is greedy, and the war in Lujiang was started by the prime minister. If he compromises, Jiangdong will probably have his mouth open" Xun Yu heard Guo Jia's words and felt quite embarrassed. Originally, all the counselors in Cao camp thought that they would rest for three years before returning to the army. Even if the battle against Jiangdong cannot be decided in a single battle, all Jiangdong's troops and horses must be driven to the south of the Yangtze River. But now that Jing Xiang has intervened, Cao's army's advantage has been wiped out. The money and food accumulated in the past three years will probably be lost. Quite a few.
And as of now, whether Sun Quan from Jiangdong agrees to stop his troops is still a matter of debate. Sun Quan is just that, but Zhou Yu is not a short-sighted person. If he is determined to lead the Jiangdong army to cross the river to fight, Hefei and Shouchun will The earth will also be involved in the war.
After pondering for a long time, Cao Cao sighed softly and said to Xun Yu: "In my opinion, according to Yi Wenruo, is there anyone who can argue well in the court to persuade Sun Quan to change his mind?"
"Sima Zhongda can be of great use!" Jia Xu heard this and said without thinking: "This man previously fought with Jingxiang Lu Xun, and he was not inferior. If he is sent to Jiangdong, he will change the minds of the officials in Jiangdong. I hope it¡¯s not small!¡±
Hearing Jia Xu's words, Guo Jia and Xun thought for a moment and nodded slightly. Seeing this, Cao Cao sighed and said: "Then I will order Sima Yi as an envoy to go to the east of the Yangtze River to discuss with Sun Quan and Zhou Yu the two armies. Things" (To be continued.
