Three Kingdoms: The blind box draws Da Qiao at the beginning

Chapter 265 Xiliang Ma Chao
Seeing Cao Cao asking, Guo Jia laughed again, then quickly walked to the door of the commander's tent and looked around.

When he saw no one was around, he turned back and whispered to Cao Cao: "Sikong, this is the best time for us to escape!"

Cao Cao's expression suddenly changed.

run away?

What a joke!
Yuan Shao's army has just withdrawn, but he wants to escape?

Seeing that Cao Cao did not understand what he meant, Guo Jia whispered: "The escape I am talking about is not to avoid Yuan Shao's attack, but to escape from the encirclement of Yuan Shao and Jiang Dong!"

Cao Cao looked slightly startled and said: "Why do you say that? How can there be any chance of this now? What should be considered most now is why Yuan Shao withdrew his troops? Also, Ma Chao rebelled and is coming from Chang'an to kill!"

Guo Jia couldn't help laughing again.

Cao Cao looked at Guo Jia speechlessly.

If it had been anyone else, he would have killed him with a knife.

However, he could tolerate Guo Jia's behavior.

This shows that he must have a countermeasure.

It's just that it's so frustrating to keep silent!

Guo Jia smiled again, and then said with a serious face: "This letter, contacting Yuan Shao's army to retreat, Ma Chao's attack, and the attack on the plains all illustrate one point."

Cao Cao looked at Guo Jia with curiosity and expectation.

Guo Jiadao: "That is, the attack on Pingyuan was indeed a strategy launched by Marquis Wu to rescue us."

"This plan is called 'Surround Wei and Save Zhao'."

"The Jiangdong army from Xuzhou made a surprise attack on the plain, and then occupied the plain, constantly making a posture of attacking Yecheng."

"When Yecheng is attacked, Yuan Shao will definitely withdraw his troops and return to support."

Guo Jia sighed: "Wu Hou has an extremely skilled man under his command, who has grasped Yuan Shao's weaknesses."

Looking at Cao Cao, Guo Jiadao said: "If Yuan Shao were you, Sikong, you would definitely not withdraw your troops. Instead, you would seize this opportunity to join forces with Ma Chao, go straight to Xudu, and then conquer Xuzhou eastward."

"At the same time, over at Yecheng, troops from all directions are mobilized to hold back the Jiangdong army in Pingyuan."

"By then, if Xuzhou is conquered eastward, Xuzhou will have no defensive power and will be easily captured."

"Go north and destroy the Jiangdong Army in Pingyuan."

"In this world, not to mention having it, at least it is without Sikong. Jiangdong has lost Xuzhou again. It is absolutely possible to say that he can win half of it."

Cao Cao nodded.

indeed.

If he were Yuan Shao, he would not be too worried even if Yecheng was attacked.

Because Yecheng is located in the center north of the Yellow River and is surrounded by counties.

If it is supported for a period of time, there should be no problem.

Moreover, he did not believe that Jiangdong would leave Guandu alone in order to attack Yecheng.

Therefore, it is very likely that this is indeed the strategy of "surrounding Wei and rescuing Zhao" mentioned by Guo Jia.

Guo Jia continued: "Of course, Yuan Shao is not Sikong after all, which is why I left him early."

"He has many factions under him, and he is very scheming."

"When encountering such a critical moment, he will definitely solicit everyone's opinions, but he has no opinions himself."

"At this time, as long as someone can speak to his heart, he will listen."

"As for the so-called great cause of the world, it is not the top priority."

"And what he means deep in his heart is that Ye City is where the foundation is, and all his family members are in the city."

"And these are the weaknesses of civil and military officials."

"I would like to ask, how many people would give up family ties for the so-called great cause of the world?"

"The vast majority of people can't."

"Therefore, when Yecheng is attacked, Yuan Shao's civil and military officials will definitely ask to withdraw troops and return reinforcements, which hits Yuan Shao's heart."

"This is also the reason why Yuan Shao hurriedly withdrew his troops."

"This person has a very clear insight into Yuan Shaozhen."

Cao Cao nodded again and said: "Indeed. However, Lu Yi, my son, does have a lot of talents under his account."

"The key is that he can also decisively listen to people's opinions."

"If I had a son like this, I would be able to smile like a child."

"pity."

Guo Jia chuckled and said, "However, Jiang Dong also made mistakes."

Cao Cao hurriedly said: "Elaborate."

Guo Jiadao: "Yuan Shao has withdrawn his troops, and our pressure is gone."

"Next, there should be a letter from Jiangdong, asking us to take advantage of this opportunity to repel the menacing Ma Chao."

"This is the opportunity."

"Defeat Ma Chao, we occupy Guanzhong and capture Liangzhou and Hanzhong."

"During this period, Jiangdong must have been aware of this possibility, so he will send troops to Wancheng to prevent us from taking away excess people."

"These extra people refer to the emperor, civil and military ministers, and their family members."

"This is our chance to escape." "First order Pang Tong and Huang Gai's army to go to the Yanjin and Baima areas and disperse their positions. This is called monitoring Yuan Shao's army and preventing them from making a surprise attack."

"Then, send an army of a thousand men to Xudu on the pretext of increasing manpower to prepare for the attack on Ma Chao who is coming from Chang'an, and then bring out Xun Lingjun, the emperor, and some of the main family members."

"Let Xun Lingjun find an ordinary person to act like the emperor and sit in Xudu."

"After that, let this army of a thousand people turn into an army of two to three thousand people and join us."

"As for the other civil and military ministers, the emperor's harem, and the servants in the family, they are all abandoned."

"After we defeat Ma Chao, we will send heavy troops to guard Hangu Pass, Tongguan, and Shangluo."

"At that time, we will announce the fact that the emperor has temporarily moved to Chang'an."

"Yuan Shao knows that the emperor has moved from Xudu to Chang'an, and knows that Xudu is empty, so he will go south with all his strength."

"Jiangdong has to face it with all his strength."

"Today's Jiangdong is just recuperating, and they cannot fight the enemy on multiple fronts at the same time."

"And Yuan Shao is extraordinarily powerful."

"We are the Jiangdong Alliance again."

"Choose the best. Jiangdong can only swallow this bitter pill and let us conquer Liangzhou and Hanzhong."

"And they are going all out to deal with Yuan Shao."

"With Yuan Shao's strength, Jiangdong may be defeated."

"However, regardless of whether Jiangdong is defeated or not, this will be a long time."

"This provides us with an opportunity to capture Yizhou."

"In the future, it may not be impossible for us to make a comeback with Yizhou as the core and the elites from Hanzhong and Liangzhou!"

"I think back then, Emperor Gaozu conquered the world in this way."

Cao Cao did not respond immediately to Guo Jia, but continued to move in a small area where he was.

This escape was considered a complete abandonment of the Central Plains.

The foundation he spent most of his life building was over.

He was really reluctant to give up.

How many people died for this foundation?

Now, let’s give up the foundation we have already obtained and strive for the prospects we have not yet obtained.

Once it fails.

He couldn't imagine the consequences!
Guo Jia didn't rush him either.

He just looked at Cao Cao quietly.

For anyone, this would be a difficult choice.

Moreover, once this strategy fails, Cao Cao will definitely be nailed to the pillar of shame in history and be ridiculed by future generations.

Time passed little by little.

After nearly half a quarter of an hour, Cao Cao stopped, looked at Guo Jia, took off the sword from his waist, handed it to Guo Jia, and said with a cold face: "Fengxiao, you should return to Xudu immediately, according to the plan just now. Implement it and bring out the emperor and his family, I will temporarily hold Pang Tong and Huang Gai here."

"Although Pang Tong is ugly, he is also very cunning. Let him garrison Yanjin and Baima too early, for fear of arousing his suspicion."

"You go and bring the people out first. I'll see the opportunity and arrange for them to garrison."

"Then we will meet in Luoyang."

Guo Jia held the sword in his hand, looked at Cao Cao, and said seriously: "A man makes a decisive decision and gives up when he wants! Sikong, I'll go first!"

After saying that, he turned around and left with his sword.

Cao Cao watched Guo Jia's leaving figure disappear outside the commander's tent, then he took a long breath and pressed his right hand on the wooden table of the sand table.

His body trembled slightly.

Looking outside the handsome tent, he had the urge to rush out immediately and call Guo Jia back.

Once you fail, the first half of your life will be in vain.

However, the five fingers of his right hand that were pressed against the wooden table turned white.

In the end, he endured it.

As Guo Jia said: A real man makes a decisive decision and gives up everything he wants.

This kind of opportunity to escape from the encirclement of Yuan Shao and Jiang Dong is probably only this one.

If you don’t seize it now, there will be no chance in the future. Then you can only sit back and watch being cannibalized by Yuan Shao and Jiang Dong bit by bit!
Cao Cao closed his eyes, thinking of the soldiers who died in battle one by one, and murmured: "My lords, farewell. I, Cao Cao, will definitely pay homage to your heroes when I return to the Central Plains one day!"

At this time, Chang'an, an ancient city that was already dilapidated, was now submerged in fire.

Countless cavalrymen shuttled between the dilapidated buildings of the city.

Eventually, these cavalrymen gathered on the ruins of the ruined imperial palace in Chang'an.

There, a group of figures were standing on the ruins of the palace, filled with emotion.

The leader was a young man in his early twenties, wearing silver armor, with a face like a crown of jade, eyes like shooting stars, a tiger body and ape arms, a belly and a wolf waist, and a riding whip in his hand.

This person is none other than Ma Teng’s eldest son——

Ma Chao.
