There are gentlemen in the Three Kingdoms

Ah Fei grinned, and said: "I'm telling the truth, there are so many fierce generals in Cao's army, this person really can't be ranked."

Huang Xu took a deep breath and said, "Then tell me, which one of Cao Jun is the most powerful, I will capture him alive and show you in the future!"

Huang Xu was just saying an angry word, but Ah Fei actually touched his chin and began to think carefully.

"I heard from my adoptive father that there was a man named Xia Houyuan in Cao's army who was quite capable. Even the foster father didn't seem to take advantage of him!"

Hearing this, Huang Xu squinted his eyes and said, "Is Xia Houyuan right? Good! I'll capture this man in the future...do you still dare to underestimate me?"

……

The potter's army successfully conquered Sanyang County.

When conquering Sanyang County, the potter also discovered that Xu Rong seemed to have some psychological problems.

After some in-depth discussions, the potter found that...his words seemed to be of little use to Xu Rong, his temper seemed to have become irritable, and he seemed to be digging into a dead end.

But the pottery merchant really didn't have much time to solve his psychological problems. After all, Shanyang County had already been won, and the next step was to conquer the Central Plains.

The news of Tao Shangjun naturally spread to Xuchang very quickly.

All of a sudden, Cao Ren, Xun Yu and others were not calm.

Chapter 7

The loss of Sanyang County can be said to be a very big event for the land of the Central Plains.

Shanyang County is to the north of Peiguo, and there is Liangguo in the middle. Liangguo was once conquered by potters when Cao Cao was fighting with pottery merchants. Now Shanyang County is lost, and Liangguo has been conquered. It's just a matter of time.

The fall of Shanyang County and Liang State means that half of Yanzhou and Yuzhou in the east will completely fall over time.

This is a major event. Judging from the current situation, the potters are indeed here to devour their own territory.

Xun Yu didn't dare to be negligent, he ordered Pegasus to send Cao Cao a letter asking for help, and at the same time, he found General Yan, Cao Ren, who was in the military power of Yuer Prefecture, and discussed with him the next step.

After Cao Ren knew the current situation, he was quite worried.

The matter was really serious, far beyond Cao Ren's imagination.

Cao Ren sat where he was, frowning and thinking about the solution.

Xun Yu didn't bother him either.

When it comes to military strategy, Cao Ren naturally has more say than himself.

After a long time, Cao Renchang sighed and said with a wry smile: "The timing is good for Tao. Sikong is deeply involved in Guanzhong, and he was caught by Zhang Lu. I'm afraid we can only rely on ourselves now. Luckily." Sikong still has some preparations before he leaves, and there are some defenders in the counties, so we can persevere."

Xun Yu smiled wryly and said, "It's an eventful time right now. When it comes to marching, we have to rely on General Zi Xiao. Xun will definitely provide the greatest protection for the general."

Cao Ren cupped his hands at Xun Yu and said, "Before the soldiers and horses move the food and grass, I ask Xun Shizhong to collect the necessary expenses for the three armies first."

"This is natural."

"There is one more thing." Cao Ren paused, and said: "Just the generals in our Xuchang city are definitely not enough. We also need to recruit soldiers from the counties under the two prefectures to fill the army formation. Can gain power."

Xun Yu asked, "What is the general's strategy?"

Cao Ren walked up to Xun Yu's table, unfolded the picture on his table, and said, "Look, sir, the terrain of the Central Plains is flat, and it is not easy to defend. There are many pottery merchants, soldiers and horses, and strong generals are like clouds. If you want to guard against him , you can’t take into account the gains and losses of a city and a pool, and you need to control a few points before you can be as stable as Mount Tai.”

After finishing speaking, I saw Cao Ren pointing on the map: "North of Xuchang, Chenliu is an important town for our army. If there is a loss, the consequences will be disastrous. The only way is to use Dongjun as Chenliu's outpost, station troops and horses, and cooperate with us." In Xuchang, the three sides must defend tightly to stand a chance of winning! As for the rest of the territory, let’s give it to the potters for the time being.”

"Three sides defend?" Xun Yu looked at the map carefully and said, "You are right. The problem is to defend three cities. I'm afraid we don't have that many troops."

Cao Ren nodded and said, "That's why it is necessary to mobilize all the troops of the counties under the Central Plains to protect the three cities. This matter should not be delayed, and I ask Mr. Xun to give an order and make a quick decision!"

Xun Yu was silent for a while, then nodded and said: "Forget it, leave this matter to me. General Zixiao will go back to order troops and arrange defensive deployment. Xun will give you news in the future!"

Cao Ren cupped his hands towards Xun Yu, got up and walked out of the hall.

Xun Yu rubbed the center of his brows, and leaned wearily towards the table.

Cao Ren's military strategy was not wrong, but he ignored people's hearts.

At this moment, how many generals in Xiaxian County can be trusted?How many are untrustworthy?

It should be known that at such a time, it is difficult to guarantee that the pottery merchants will not send people to instigate them. Cao Sikong is not in the Central Plains yet.

But this cannot be done

In the end, Xun Yu picked up the pen on the table, unfolded a roll of blank bamboo slips, and began to write seriously on it.

In the afternoon of that day, Xun Yu's handwriting was photocopied into several copies and sent to the leaders of the county army stationed in various places.

Bao Zhong and Bao Tao, who had just been stationed in Xiangli County, also received this letter.

But to Er Bao's surprise, the content of Xun Yu's slip was not a mandatory transfer order.

He did not ask all the troops to go to Xuchang for support, but took the initiative to solicit opinions from the local area, whether he wanted to stay in the county and continue to stand firm, or go to Xuchang to help in the war.

Er Bao was so excited that he immediately sent his confidant to invite Guo Jia.

Bao Zhong triumphantly showed the letter to Guo Jia, and said: "Mr. Guo, look, Xun Yu has issued documents to the counties, recruiting us to go to Xuchang for reinforcements!"

Guo Jia took the letter from Bao Zhong's hand and read it carefully for a while.

Then, Guo Jia raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "This is not a recruiting, it is clearly asking you whether you want to go to Xuchang to help defend, or stay here."

The two Bao looked at each other suspiciously.

Bao Tao wondered, "Is there any difference? Don't they all have to go?"

Guo Jia waved his fingers: "That's not necessarily true. Since Mr. Xun asked you to make a choice, he was definitely not being polite. Did he let you really choose to go or stay?"

Bao Zhong clapped his hands vigorously, and said, "Of course we are going! Isn't the military order given to us by the prime minister just to let us find a way to infiltrate the enemy's central army?"

Guo Jia looked at the slips with a smile, showing great interest on his face.

"Xun Yu is still the same Xun Yu." Guo Jia sighed, and said, "You two generals, please write a letter to Xun Yu and tell him that you are not going and you just want to stay in Xiangli County."

After saying this sentence, Er Bao was immediately taken aback.

Didn't Prime Minister Tao let us break into the enemy's interior?Now that the enemy has actively invited us to go, we will not go!

What's the situation?

What about trouble?

What did you say earlier?
