Chapter 953

Jia Xu continued: "in order to show his Highness's attention to talents and his reliance on Qin officials, the best way is for his highness to issue a notice, count Yuan Shao's criminal evidence, and then order Yuan Shao to release Guo Tu, otherwise his highness will send troops to attack Da Jin."

After a pause, Jia Xu continued: "it's not only the words on hand. Besides, his highness wants to mobilize his army to go north to dangyin County, to attack the state of Jin, and even, if necessary, to fight with Yuan Shao."

After hearing this, Zhang Xiu was thinking.

The main goal of the moment is Cao Cao. Once Cao Cao is destroyed, then Zhang Xiu's capture of the world is just around the corner.

But now, all of a sudden, there is Guo Tu's story.

Guo Tu's business is also very important.

There are different scales between the two.

Zhang Song said in a deep voice: "Jia Shangshu, according to you, it means that we will not attack Cao Cao for the time being. It is clear that we have reached the critical time to wipe out Cao Cao, but now we withdraw our troops. Does it not mean that we have given Cao Cao a buffer and let him come over? Is this an appropriate arrangement? "

Although Zhang Song agrees with the rescue of Guo Tu.

However, to give up the best chance to exterminate Cao Cao, Zhang Song thought it was not right.

Jia Xu said: "naturally, it's appropriate, because if we don't attack Cao Cao now, we can attack again next year or even the year after next. In a word, as long as your highness is powerful, it will be sooner or later that you want to destroy Cao Cao. "

"If we give up Guo Tu now, no matter whether he is alive or dead, the consequences of Guo Tu's death will still exist one year later, two years later, or even several years later, which will become the stain of his highness and make the world's scholars and talents feel cold. So I think we have to send troops. Even if today's practice gives Cao Cao a buffer, he must do so. "

Li Ru echoed: "Your Highness, I agree with Jia Shangshu's analysis. Since Guo Tu has surrendered to his highness and made contributions to his highness, such a person can't ignore it. Otherwise, Yuan Shao will win the game. "

Sima Yi also changed her tone and said, "Your Highness, I agree with what Jia Shangshu said."

Pang Tong also said, "I'm inferior to you!"

For a moment, all the people except Zhang Song supported Jia Xu's suggestion and agreed with Jia Xu's analysis.

Zhang songdun was embarrassed.

At the beginning, his proposal was not supported any more.

No one recognized him any more.

Zhang Xiu is not indecisive. He also has his own consideration in his heart. After carefully pondering Jia Xu's words, he nodded and said, "Wenhe's really the best choice."

"For a country, it's not how much territory it occupies or how powerful it is at one time, but how cohesive the people under its command are."

"As long as people's hearts are still there, then the country will have cohesion and combat effectiveness. If the country is strong for a short time, but the hearts of the people are broken, then the strong country is just a period of strength, sooner or later it will fall apart. "

"When people are united, Mount Tai will move."

Zhang Xiu said: "as long as the people are united, even if the people are like water, they can open mountains and split mountains."

Jia Xu said: "Your Highness is wise!"

Li Ru also said: "Your Highness is wise!"

Zhang Song and others also agree with each other, but Zhang Song sighs in his heart. He plans with all his heart, but how can he not know Zhang Xiu's idea every time?

So much so that it's wrong every time.

Zhang Xiu said, "come and call Huang Zhong, Zhang Yan, a Guli, Chen Dao, Zhao Yun, Zhang Yan and Gan Ning."

"Here it is

I'll inform you immediately.

These are all the troops gathered in the territory of Wei. It can be said that Zhang Xiu's attack on Cao Cao this time, except Zhang Ren's army and Gao Lan's army, almost all the other troops under her command were dispatched to battle.

It's just right to defeat Cao Cao.

After a short time, Huang Zhong, Gan Ning, Zhang Ya and others all arrived and saluted Zhang Xiu.

Zhang Xiu asked the people to sit down and briefly talked about Guo Tu's affairs. Then she said, "Zhang Ya, a Guli and Zhang Yan's troops stay in Yanzhou and Yuzhou to stabilize the area they are seizing. Huang Zhong, Chen Dao, Zhao Yun and Gan Ning lead their respective troops to dangyin county with the king, preparing to attack Yuan Shao."

"Here it is

All of us should go down together.

Whether they are left behind or going north with Zhang Xiu, they all have a heavy responsibility.

Although there may be war going northward, Cao Cao may have retreated to Taishan County, but now Zhang Xiu retreats, so Cao Cao may not shrink and will probably take a counter attack.

"Your Highness, there is a problem with your humble position," he said

"Say it

Zhang Xiu said.

Zhang said: "Your Highness has mobilized the main troops to go north to prepare for war with Yuan Shao. However, he believed that in addition to leaving the last general to be stationed in Yanzhou, he should also leave a military adviser who can give advice. Otherwise, in the event of war, I'm afraid that it will be difficult to judge the situation in time. "Zhang Xiu thought about it, looked at Jia Xu and others, and said, "who among you is willing to stay?"

Jia Xu took the initiative to say: "Your Highness, I'm old and I'm not very well. Therefore, the old minister asked himself to stay in Xudu. On the one hand, he was helping General Zhang, on the other hand, he was too lazy to travel long distances. "

Zhang xiudao said: "it's good to have Wen and stay in Xudu. I can rest assured."

Jia Xu said, "I will live up to your Highness's high expectations."

As soon as Zhang Xiu's big sleeve brushed, he said, "let's go down and get ready. Tomorrow morning, we'll go north. As for the announcement, it was Zhong Da who ordered Cao Cao to release Guo Tu. You should write an appeal immediately and make an announcement. "

"Here it is

Sima Yi responded.

The rest of the people did not stay any longer and went to prepare separately.

For most of the day, Sima Yi had already written the address, and then asked Zhang Xiu to review it. After that, he had arranged for the royal guards to spread it all over the world, so that the news could spread quickly.

This news first spread to Taishan County, and Cao Cao was the first to get the news.

Cao Cao was relieved when he got the news that Zhang Xiu had transferred troops to the north. It was because Zhang Xiu had attacked Yanzhou and had captured most of the territory of Yanzhou recently. Cao Cao was very anxious because he did not have the strength to counterattack.

Now, it's just slowing down a little.

Cao Cao breathed a sigh of relief, but he also immediately called Guo Jia.

Cao Cao said about Zhang Xiu's going north to Jizhou, and said with emotion: "I didn't expect that people like Guo Tu had surrendered to Zhang Xiu early and had planned for her. It was Guo Tu who made Zhang Xiu go north. Fengxiao, now that Zhang Xiu is going north, whether we should take action to take back the lost territory. "

"No!"

Guo Jia shook his head and said: "Zhang Xiu is indeed going north, but now Zhang Xiu has left an army guard. Under such a premise, can our only remaining forces defeat these forces? "

"The most important thing is that food and money are still a little tight this year."

"What your highness needs to do now is to recover his troops as soon as possible. The total number of troops we have raised now is more than 60000. Relying on more than 60000 people, it is quite difficult to defeat Zhang Xiu's troops. "

After a pause, Guo Jia said, "of course, we don't really stop sending troops. It depends on the situation."

"If Zhang Xiu was crushed in Jizhou, he would lose a lot of money, but he could not recapture Guo Tu, and he would go to war with Yuan Shao, even with Yuan Shao, which would damage the army."

"Then, we will take advantage of the fire and decisively send troops to recapture the lost territory of Yanzhou and Yuzhou."

Guo Jia continued: "if everything goes well with Zhang Xiu, then we can't take advantage of her edge right now. We should avoid it for a while. In any case, we should first seek survival and then consider the rest of the development issues. "

Cao Cao thought about it and said, "it's the same truth. No matter what, first let's show our strength."

Guo Jia said: "Your Highness is wise!"
