Chapter 177

Before that, Cao Cao also wanted to take advantage of the ban to occupy Luyang County, defeat Zhang Xiu, and occupy Nanyang County.

Now, everything is in vain.

Rao is Cao Cao with good psychological quality and unstable mentality. He swore at the centurion kneeling in front of him and even kicked his feet. He almost lost control of himself and wanted to kill the centurion.

After half a sound, Cao Cao regained his anger and calmed down. He said in a deep voice, "go down, don't get in the way here."

"Here it is

The centurion was ordered to step down, and he was satisfied that he would not be punished.

Cao Cao looked at Guo Jia and calmed down: "Luyang county is lost. We don't have the means to restrain Zhang Xiu. What do you suggest, fengxiao? "

At the moment, Guo Jia is also pondering.

The situation is not optimistic.

After thinking about it for a moment, he had a plan and said, "there are three strategies for the Lord to choose."

Cao Cao said, "say it!"

Guo Jia said: "the best way to be humble is to withdraw from Nanyang and stop fighting with Zhang Xiu."

On hearing this, Cao Cao frowned.

Guo Jia continued: "we led a large army into Nanyang County. Now we are only in Luyang County, the northernmost part of Nanyang County. Before we go deep into Nanyang County, we will lose our troops and lose our strength."

"It will be very difficult to defeat Zhang Xiu."

"Under the current situation, the best strategy is to withdraw from Nanyang County. The enemy of this war will be avenged later. "

Guo Jia said: "it is not too late for a gentleman to take revenge. For the time being, the Lord transferred his troops and dealt with Lv Bu and Yuan Shu before he thought about Zhang Xiu. "

Cao Cao shook his head.

He didn't want to quit Nanyang County because he couldn't swallow the bad breath.

At the beginning, Cao Cao was not so angry when the Chen palace and Lu Bu rebelled in Yanzhou. Because Cao Cao himself knew that it was he who killed LV boshe first and then Yanzhou celebrities such as bianrang, which made Chen Gong cold.

The king chooses the minister, the minister also chooses the king.

Chen Gong didn't recognize Cao Cao until he betrayed him.

Rao is so, Cao Cao still appreciate Chen Gong, think Chen Gong is a talented person. Of course, Cao Cao knows that he has done something wrong, but he may not be willing to admit it. He does not regret what has happened, right or wrong, and he will not apologize.

On the contrary, this time, in Zhang Xiu's body, he suffered many losses and failures, so he was unwilling to leave.

His heart, very unwilling.

Cao Cao clenched his fist and asked, "what's the best policy?"

Guo Jia said: "the best strategy is to gather all the strength to catch up with Zhang Xiu as quickly as possible and fight against her. At present, our side has damaged Cao Anmin and Yu Jin, and nearly ten thousand soldiers. But in terms of the number of people, we are not inferior to Zhang Xiu. We have the strength of the first World War. "

"Before, Zhang Xiu had been beating around the bush with us."

"The reason why he did this, now think about it carefully, is that Zhang Xiu is planning Luyang County, so he has been around, delaying our time close to Luyang County, so as to win Luyang county."

"Now, Zhang Xiu is seizing Luyang county again. Judging from his humble position, he will not retreat or beat around the Bush again. He will definitely fight against us and try to defeat us."

Guo Jia said: "we will fight Zhang Xiu if we kill her directly. As long as Zhang Xiu's army is defeated, the Lord can still win the battle. "

Cao Cao said, "if we fail, we will damage our troops again, right?"

"Yes

Guo Jia replied: "Zhang Xiu, in particular, is not easy to be compared with. It's not easy to beat him. So, I think it's the best policy. "

Cao Cao thought about it in his heart, but he still didn't make a statement. He continued: "what's the worst way?"

Guo Jia said: "the worst way to be humble is to make peace with Zhang Xiu."

"Although Zhang Xiu only occupied Nanyang County, she had the strength of a marquis. Once the Lord withdraws, when we attack Xuzhou and other places in the future, if Zhang Xiu attacks our rear, we will be in a very unfavorable situation. "

"So, the worst way is to make friends with Zhang Xiu."

"With the strength of the Lord, he condescended to make peace with Zhang Xiu, resolved the conflicts, and then returned to Yanzhou."

"That's the next policy."

Guo Jia said: "the humble position does not recommend adopting this strategy, even if Zhang Xiu is quite powerful. However, the Lord served the emperor to order the princes to take the position of Sikong. There is no need to make peace with Zhang Xiu. "

Cao Cao said, "it's impossible to make peace. In this battle, Zhang Xiu will never give up. "

Guo Jia immediately understood.

What Cao Cao wants is the best policy.

We need to fight Zhang Xiu again.

Xia Houyuan stood aside. After listening to Cao Cao, he immediately said, "Lord, I will go to send an order immediately. The army advanced at full speed and rushed to the place where Zhang Xiu was stationed. "

"Good!"Cao Cao nodded.

After XiaHouYuan retreated, Cao Cao had a look of expectation on his face, but also a trace of uneasiness in his eyes. He said, "fengxiao, do you think this battle can be won?"

Guo Jia said, "what do you think?"

Instead of answering, he asked Cao Cao.

He has full confidence in Cao Cao.

He believed in Cao Cao's judgment, and more in Cao Cao's courage and determination.

No matter win or lose, he followed Cao Cao.

Cao Cao raised his head and said: "we will win this battle! Although Zhang Xiu's thieves are powerful, Zhang Xiu's foundation is not deep after all. We are sure to win this battle. "

Guo Jia also nodded solemnly.

The army set out and went on.

After the army set out, they quickly approached the camp site of Zhang Xiu.

When Xia Houyuan was on his way, he received the news from the rear sentry. As soon as Xia Houyuan heard the news, his face changed greatly, but he also congratulated himself and quickly came to Cao Cao's side.

Xia Houyuan reported: "Lord, just after receiving the news from the rear, Zhang Xiu arranged a cavalry to bypass the bridge, touch our rear and attack our granary. Fortunately, Zihe, who was stationed in the granary, responded properly and defeated Zhang Xiu's army. Otherwise, the situation is unimaginable. "

Zihe is Cao Chun's word.

Cao Chun is Cao Ren's brother, commander Cao Cao's tiger and leopard riding. However, this time, Cao Chun did not follow Cao Cao to the front line, but sat in the rear to guard the granary for him.

When Cao Cao heard the news reported by Xia Houyuan, he was in a depressed mood. Suddenly he was overjoyed and couldn't help laughing.

Xia Houyuan said: "why is my lord laughing?"

Cao Cao said: "Zihe killed one of Zhang Xiu's cavalry, which is to win us a chance to fight against Zhang Xiu. Isn't such a good thing worth laughing at? "

He is seldom happy.

This period of time and Zhang Xiu fighting, everywhere constrained, everywhere affected, nothing is smooth.

Cao Anmin is defeated!

Xu Chu is defeated!

Yujin is defeated!

There is no progress in his army. Even if he pursues Zhang Xiu, he can only follow her.

Everything is not going well.

For Cao Cao, Cao Chun's keeping the granary in the rear is excellent news.

As soon as the words changed, Cao Cao said, "what's the result of this war?"

Xia Houyuan replied: "there is no detailed information for the time being. He only knows that Zihe defeated Zhang Xiu's army who went to attack. At the moment, there is no problem with our granary. "

Cao Cao said, "it doesn't matter."

His eyes narrowed and he said with a smile: "now we have the advantage. When we get to the front of Zhang Xiu's army, we will make a good mockery of Zhang Xiu. He has always thought that it's too late. This time, what can he say? "

Xia Houyuan said: "my Lord is wise!"

He bowed down and soon came to the front army and ordered the soldiers to go at full speed.
