The First Military Division of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 163 Core Battlefield
Xu Shu didn't want to dampen the enthusiasm of Zhang He and others, so he said that the time is right to attack Yuzhou.

From Xu Shu's point of view, before the Liu Bei Group has gained a firm foothold in Youzhou, it is better not to provoke a powerful enemy like Cao Cao for the time being. Now is not the time to fight to the death with Cao Cao.

In Qingzhou, Jinan County, and the army camps of the Jinan Theater, all the senior generals of the Jinan Theater are in the big tent.

"Everyone, I have news from my eldest brother that in the spring of the coming year, Yuan Shu and Cao Cao intend to attack Xuzhou, and Yuan Shao wants to lead an army to attack Youzhou. My elder brother will give me the right to do things at my own expense." Sitting at the top is the general Guan Yu. He is Liu Bei's second younger brother, with a special status, a tall and straight figure, and a green plain clothes, sitting there, under a long face full of light red, Guan Yu is only thirty, and his beard has begun to take shape.

Guan Yu sat in the first place, and no one objected to it. Even the talented Guo Jia could only retreat to the second place.

"General, Qinghe has a [-] army led by General Yuan Shao Yan Liang, our army must not move lightly. What can we do?" Pan Zhang got up and clasped his fists, expressing his opinion to Guan Yu.

"General, can we move the army to Qinghe? It is best to defeat Yanliang's army in Qinghe and force Yuan Shao to return to help." Xu Sheng, who was about the same size as Pan Zhang, suggested.

The generals discussed with you and me, but in the end they couldn't come up with a feasible solution.

"Mr. Feng Xiao, look, what should we do?" Guan Yu discussed with a group of generals for a long time, but failed to come up with a feasible solution, so Guan Yu had to ask Guo Jia, who had been listening with a smile and didn't speak.

Guo Jia's illness has been cured by the genius doctor Hua Tuo, but the root cause is frailty, so although Guo Jia can drink alcohol now, it is limited.

Although the current Guo Jia still looks so weak, but compared to before, his complexion is much better, with a slight blush on his face.

"Hehe, since the generals have nothing to do, then just do nothing and just sit still." Guo Jia shook his head lightly and said to Guan Yu with a smile on his face.

"Sir, how can our [-] army be wasted here, we should do something." Guan Yu didn't want to stand still as An Guojia said, how could he want to waste his time like this with a [-] army in his hand.

"No, the general's holding back Yan Liang's [-] troops is a great achievement, and it is the greatest help to Zi Ming's military division."

"Once an army of [-] goes to war, the consumption will be huge. Now my lord will face two battles. If the general starts a war again, my lord will have to send people from two other places to support the general. In this way, the strength of the other two battlefields will definitely be weakened." strength.

Now we should focus on the Youzhou battlefield. If I think it is right, Xuzhou Yuanzhi will also arrange it in the same way. He will definitely give as much resources as possible to the Youzhou battlefield, which is the core. With the victory of the war, Yuan Shao, Cao Cao and his ilk will be destroyed by the lord sooner or later. "Guo Jia patiently explained to Guan Yu and others.

The generals in the tent were all thoughtful after hearing this, and seemed to understand what their main task is now.

"Sir, according to what you said, if we defeat Yan Liang's army and force Yuan Shao to return to help, it will not be better to help Ziming's army division." Xu Sheng asked Guo Jia suspiciously. support is more effective.

The other generals nodded after hearing this, thinking that Xu Sheng was right.

Only Guan Yu, who was seated above, frowned after hearing this, and began to think, but soon shook his head slightly, not knowing what he was thinking.

"That's the case, Jia would like to ask the generals, how much will it take and how long will it take for our army to attack Yan Liang?" Guo Jia didn't answer Xu Sheng directly, but asked Xu Sheng and others instead.

"This... Our army is elite, and there is a gentleman as a certain, and there are many strong generals, we should be able to win within three months." Xu Sheng said uncertainly.

"Hehe." After Xu Sheng finished speaking, Guo Jia chuckled lightly, and then said: "The general said that winning Yan Liang within three months is the most favorable result in the battle. If Yan Liang can't hold on, the general may win within three months. How much is the battle damage?"

After Guo Jia finished speaking, the faces of those generals who supported the dispatch of troops changed drastically. If Yan Liang could not hold out as Guo Jia said, then it was impossible for them to defeat Yan Liang within three months.

Even the worst result is that the battle situation will be in a stalemate. In this way, they will become a huge burden for the Liu Bei Group.

At that time, not only will they not be able to support Chen Ziming, but they will also use a large amount of materials and manpower that should have been used to reinforce Chen Ziming to this useless place.

"Military division, since the war here is so unfavorable to Ziming's military division, will Yan Liang's army take the initiative to attack?" Pan Zhang asked hastily.

"No, if Yan Liang goes to war with us, it will also drag Yuan Shao to attack Youzhou, and if he dares to take the initiative to attack, I will definitely destroy him." Guo Jia said confidently.

"Sir, since the war will not start easily here, can you send some troops to Youzhou to support the Ziming Army Division?" Guan Yu asked Guo Jiadao suddenly.

"My lord will make his own arrangements for this matter. If necessary, my lord's military order will definitely come, and the general's army should not be mobilized too much, otherwise Yan Liang's troops will not be involved." Guo Jia still believed in Chen Gong's ability very much. How could Chen Gong not have thought of deploying troops here.

Since Liu Bei's transfer order has not yet arrived, Chen Gong or Chen Ziming must have made other arrangements.

"Since this is the case, if there is no military order, no one is allowed to go to war without authorization. Exclude more scouts and investigate every move of Yan Liang's soldiers and horses. All the army is ready for battle and is ready to wait for the military order at any time!" Now that the matter is clear, Guan Yu immediately followed Guo Jia's meaning. Order to prepare for war but not to fight.

"Sir, there is Ziming in Youzhou, I am very relieved, but Xuzhou only has [-] troops, how can it be the enemy of Cao Cao and Yuan Shu?" The matter here has been discussed, and Guan Yu began to care about the safety of other places.

As the No. [-] figure on the bright side of the Liu Bei Group, it is necessary to have an understanding and judgment of the overall situation. In this regard, Guan Yu is many times stronger than Zhang Fei.

After the other generals left, Guan Yu began to question Guo Jialai.

"General, don't worry, Xuzhou will be fine." Guo Jia said to Guan Yu relaxedly.

"Sir, how do you explain this?" Guan Yu asked Guo Jia suspiciously. In his opinion, the odds of winning against Cao Cao and Yuan Shu's army with Xuzhou's [-] troops were very low.

"The general should understand that if Cao Cao attacks Xuzhou, he needs to pass through the southern city, and the southern city is defended by General Zhang Liao and supported by Taishan Liu Ziyang's [-] troops, and it is so easy to attack.

In this way, Xuzhou will not face Cao Cao and Yuan Shu at the same time. With Yuan Zhi alone, it is still unclear whether Yuan Shu can return to Yuzhou safely. "Guo Jia said here, suddenly stopped, and the smile on the face that had been smiling instantly disappeared.
