After Yue Fei chose to stick to the three counties of Langya, Donghai, and Pengcheng, it was Wang Zhongsi who first withdrew from Xuzhou. In the battle of Xiapi, Wang Zhongsi's soldiers and horses suffered heavy losses, and the food and grass were destroyed by Zhao Yun and others.Therefore, after the First Battle of Xiapi, Wang Zhongsi first withdrew from the scope of Xiapi City, and after watching the situation in Xuzhou for a period of time, Wang Zhongsi led the remaining soldiers to withdraw from Xuzhou.

After that, Xia Houyuan was the second to withdraw from Xuzhou.In order to stop Yue Fei's actions in Xuzhou, Cao Cao sent Xiahoudun and Xiahouyuan two troops this time, but Xiahoudun was shot in the left eye by Xie Yingdeng in Qingzhou, and fell into a coma. After discussing with Cao Hong, Cheng Yu chose to retreat.Xia Houyuan first missed the battle of Langya, and then when Xia Houyuan was about to lead his troops south to Xiapi, Pang Tong, Yue Yun, and Yan Chengfang led [-] Jinpeng soldiers to stop Xia Houyuan outside Langya County. Inch.Knowing that after the end of the First Battle of Xiapi, Pang Tong ordered to shrink the Jinpeng Army's defense line a little bit. However, although Xia Houyuan was able to go south at this time, he thought that the battle for Xiapi City was over. Going down the city of Pi doesn't help either.So Xia Houyuan could only stay in Langya County in depression to confront Pang Tong.

Not long after that, Xia Houyuan received a secret order from Cao Cao from Puyang, and Xia Houyuan withdrew from Langya despite his reluctance.After Xia Houyuan retreated, Pang Tong and Yue Yunyan Chengfang hurriedly led the soldiers of the Jinpeng Army under their command to Xiapi City.

After Wang Zhongsi and Xia Houyuan led their troops to retreat successively, in Xuzhou, the three forces of Yue Fei, Lu Bu, and Liu Yu confronted each other and contained each other.Among the counties in Xuzhou, Yue Fei occupied Langya, Donghai, and Xiapi, Lu Bu occupied Pengcheng, and Liu Yu occupied Guangling.At this time, Yue Fei had less than 3 people under his command, and Lu Bu and Liu Yu each had about 1 people. None of the three parties dared to fight first, for fear of being taken advantage of by a third party.

Originally, the situation should have continued as it is now, but at the end of the year, Gan Ning suddenly led the Jinfan Army and sent [-] Fengbao troops to Donghai County.After the [-] soldiers of the Wind Leopard Army arrived in the East China Sea, Su Lie originally wanted to fight a victory, but after the Wind Leopard Army arrived in the East China Sea, Xuzhou began to snow heavily, making it impossible to march, let alone a big battle. Therefore, in desperation, Su Lie had no choice but to temporarily station himself in the East China Sea.

Lu Bu and Liu Yu, who had become extremely nervous after the Wind Leopard Army landed in the East China Sea, were extremely grateful for the arrival of the heavy snow.Afterwards, although large-scale marches could not be carried out due to heavy snow, it was still possible to deliver news.So after the arrival of the Wind Leopard Army, there were suddenly more messengers between Liu Yu and Lu Bu.

Obviously, the arrival of the Wind Leopard Army put enormous pressure on Liu Yu and Lu Bu.A Yue Fei and the dissatisfied Jinpeng Army have already taken half of Xuzhou, and this plus the Fengbao Army, which is organized like the Jinpeng Army, if they can join forces, what about Liu Yu and Lu Bu in Xuzhou?

So taking advantage of the fact that neither the Fengbao Army nor the Jinpeng Army can attack due to the weather, Liu Yu and Lu Bu are actively planning to join forces.Although Liu Bei and Lu Bu were still not Yue Fei's opponents before, only by joining forces can they have a chance of survival.

When seeking an alliance with each other, both Lu Bu and Liu Yu began to look outside Xuzhou, hoping to seek external forces to enter Xuzhou.And Sun Ce, King of Wu, Yuan Shu, King of Cheng, and Cao Cao, King of Wei are the first choices of Lu Bu and Liu Yu.

However, when Xuzhou was full of turmoil, Cao Cao looked at the snowy weather in Puyang, Yanzhou, and returned to his room. At least there was a heater in the room, so it would not be as cold as outside.

At this time, there is still one person in Cao Cao's house, and it is Cao Cao's most important counselor, Guo Jia.

Under Cao Cao's command, the head of civil servants is Xun Yu, but Xun Yu is responsible for people's livelihood and internal affairs, while Guo Jia is mainly responsible for military strategy, and Guo Jia is in charge of Cao Cao's intelligence organization.

At this time, in such weather, Cao Cao called Guo Jia, who had always been in poor health, to his house. It was obvious that he was not chatting with Guo Jia, and there must be something important to discuss.

It's just that outsiders don't know what's going on.

Chapter 581 The Action of Wei Guo

Puyang, Yanzhou, as the capital of the state of Wei, Cao Cao put a lot of thought into Puyang, and with the governance of Xun Yu and others, Puyang is now the veritable largest city in Yanzhou.Moreover, Cao Cao's [-] elite soldiers have now gone out to Cao Ren to guard Dongjun and Pan Feng to guard Chenliu. The rest of the soldiers and horses came to Puyang City under Cao Cao's order.

And Cao Wei's move also attracted the attention of several princes around Wei, especially Gongsun Xu.Now around Cao Cao, there is Li Yuan in the west, Gongsun Xu in the north and east, and Yuan Shu in the south. It can be said that Cao Cao is now enemies on all sides.

However, Yuan Shu's general, Ji Ling, has been leading some soldiers in the confrontation between Chenliu and Pan Feng. Both sides have no intention of fighting again. On the other side, Cao Ren led his troops to fight against Di Qing in Dongjun, and the two were evenly matched. , no one can do anything to anyone.

And as Gongsun Xu stretched his tentacles into Xuzhou, Cao Cao knew that he had to move. If he didn't make any more moves, and waited until Gongsun Xu completely digested Xuzhou, then Cao Cao could be said to be surrounded by Gongsun Xu Well, it won't be as easy for him to fight against Gongsun Xu then.

Cao Cao, who understood this, issued an order to deploy troops after several discussions with his subordinates Guo Jia, Xun You and others.Among Cao Wei, apart from the soldiers and horses that need to be stationed in various places, only 10 soldiers and horses can be mobilized. Among them, there are 2 soldiers in Cao Ren in Dongjun County, 2 in Chenliu and Panfeng, and the remaining 6. At this time, everyone has been transferred outside Puyang by Cao Cao.

Naturally, such a large-scale mobilization of troops cannot be concealed from the investigation of interested people, but Cao Cao did not intend to hide it from these people.Although the mobilization of soldiers and horses has been completed now, the ordinary soldiers and even some middle-level generals in the Cao Wei army still don't know what they are going to do at this time.The only ones who really understand what Cao Cao wants to do are those who have discussed the matter with Cao Cao.

Above the head of Puyang city, Cao Cao, the king of Wei, looked into the distance, with both hands pressed on the Yitian sword and the green vat sword on his waist, a domineering temperament was undoubtedly revealed.

And beside Cao Cao, there are several counselors that Cao Cao values ​​most under his command now.The leader among them is Guo Jia.

After staring into the distance for a long time, Cao Cao finally regained his focus. He turned his head and looked at the advisers behind him. When he saw Guo Jia, Cao Cao asked, "Feng Xiao, how are things going?"

Guo Jia said: "Your Majesty, don't worry, the [-] troops have already gathered outside Puyang City. All the generals have already arrived. As soon as Your Majesty gives an order, our elite soldiers from the Wei Dynasty can go out and attack the city for your Majesty."

After hearing Guo Jia's answer, Cao Cao nodded in satisfaction, and then said, "By the way, how is Yuan Rang doing? Has the injury ever healed?"

Guo Jia was taken aback when he heard the words.Xiahoudun was shot in the left eye by Xie Yingdeng in Qingzhou, and fell into a coma.Although in the end, under the management of the military doctor who accompanied the army, he recovered his life, but the left eye was useless.And because the left eye has been disabled, Xiahoudun's recent state is very bad, especially after returning to Puyang, he is always violent and angry. Now many servants in Xiahoudun's mansion were killed by Xiahoudun.

Moreover, some time ago, Xiahou Dun suffered a recurrence of his injury due to excessive drinking, and was almost dying.But fortunately, in the end Hua Tuo, who was roaming the world, appeared in Puyang for some reason, and happened to be met by Guo Jia.Later, under Guo Jia's recommendation, Hua Tuo diagnosed Xiahou Dun.

Although he didn't know what Cao Cao meant by asking this question, Guo Jia decided to tell the truth: "Your Majesty, General Xiahou's injury has been cured by Doctor Hua, and it is much better. However, Doctor Hua said that General Xiahou's injury has not completely healed. It's better not to use force in this period of time recently."

Cao Cao sighed when he heard the words, and then changed the topic again: "Where is the genius doctor of Hua now?"

Guo Jiadao: "The genius doctor Hua has been treating the people in Puyang recently, if the king needs the doctor Hua, he can send someone to summon him."

Cao Cao shook his head, and said: "How can someone like Miracle Doctor Hua send someone to summon him? Naturally, I should go and invite him in person." Cao Cao looked at Guo Jia's pale face when he said this, and said, "Bong Xiao, while Miracle Physician Hua is still in Puyang these few days, you ask Miracle Physician Hua to diagnose you, Zhicai left because of illness, I don’t want you to do the same.”

"Your Majesty, Jia is just some old illness, why bother with Hua's genius doctor."

Cao Cao looked at Guo Jia's expression and knew that Guo Jia would never go to see Hua Tuo if he didn't force him to ask.Even if Guo Jia went to see Hua Tuo at his own forced request, he might not necessarily listen to Hua Tuo's diagnosis.

After thinking about it in his heart, Cao Cao said, "Well, in a few days, I will invite Miracle Doctor Hua to the palace for a banquet. You can come with me when the time comes."

Guo Jia smiled wryly upon hearing this.He naturally knew his physical condition, and knew that Hua Tuo had a way to make his body better, but he just didn't want to see Hua Tuo.

This is not to say that Guo Jia doesn't like Hua Tuo, on the contrary, Guo Jia still respects a genius doctor like Hua Tuo.But Guo Jia just doesn't like seeing a doctor, that's all.

At this time, Cao Cao looked at Xun You and asked, "Gongda, how is Wen Ruo doing recently?"

Xun You sighed, and said: "Your Majesty also knows that, although my uncle has already figured it out, after all, this is contrary to his belief all the time. Now, even though my uncle understands it, to be honest, I am afraid that my uncle still has to deal with such a thing." Can't do it."

Cao Cao sighed when he heard the words, and said: "In this case, I will not force Wen Ruo anymore. It just so happens that the tens of thousands of troops are going to fight, and Puyang also needs Wen Ruo to sit in the town. And once I leave Puyang, if there is no Wen Ruo, I will not let others go." rest assured."

Afterwards, Cao Cao turned around and walked, and ordered: "Order, let all the generals in the army who are in Puyang City come to the palace now, I have something important to say."

Guo Jia, Xun You and others saluted Cao Cao when they heard the words: "Respectfully send off the king."

After Cao Cao left, Guo Jia and others were also preparing to leave.When Guo Jia passed by Xun You, Guo Jia thought about it for a while, and said to Xun You: "Gongda, Wen Ruo's situation is probably not what the King likes, but the King and Wen Ruo have a deep friendship. Nothing will happen, but it might happen after a long time. Gongda, you and Wen Ruo are in the same family, you still need to persuade Wen Ruo more."

Xun You said: "Don't worry Feng Xiao, I know what to do, but my uncle's appearance may not listen to my persuasion."

Guo Jia sighed and said, "I'm afraid I don't have time to visit Wen Ruo in the past few days. In this case, you can pass a message to Wen Ruo on my behalf, saying that the great man is gone, and he Xun Yu is now a courtier of the Great Wei."

At this time Xun You bowed to Guo Jia and said, "Don't worry about Feng Xiao, I will definitely bring this word."

In the palace of the Wei Palace, Cao Cao's civil and military officials gathered in one place. On the left, Xun Yu was the head, Guo Jia was next, followed by Xun You, Cheng Yu, Liu Ye, Man Chong, Lu Qian, Mao Jie, and Guo Chongtao.And Xu You and Cui Hao who defected to Cao Cao after Yuan Shao's defeat.

On the right is a gathering of military generals, headed by Xia Houyuan, in addition to Cao Ren, Cao Ning, Yu Jin, Yu Jin, Wang Junke who guarded Dongjun, and Pan Feng, Li Dian, Li Mi, Li Dingguo who guarded Chenliu, and Cao Hong , Xiahou Dun, Le Jin, Niu Gao, Bian Xiang, Shi Xiu, Shi Bao, Shi Dakai, Zhang Yan, Wu Yong, Li Kui, Jiao Zan, Meng Liang, Song Jiang, Chen Tang and others.

Cao Cao looked at Wenwu under his command, and slowly said: "I think you all know why I gathered you here."

After Cao Cao said this, all the men and women under his command looked at him. Cao Cao secretly nodded with satisfaction, and then said: "Nowadays the world is in chaos, and there are endless wars everywhere. It is not a good idea to be trapped in Yanzhou. I have decided to divide the army into three groups. , attacking Yuzhou, everyone is willing to fight with Cao Cao."

As soon as Cao Cao's words fell, Xia Houyuan stood up and said, "The last general Xiahou Dun is willing to follow the king."

After Xiahou Dun took the lead, all the generals in the hall knelt down: "We are willing to follow the king."

Chapter 582 The Three Commanders of the Wei Army

Seeing the generals under his command like this, Cao Cao was very pleased, and then said: "Now my Great Wei has gathered [-] troops in Puyang, and I plan to divide my troops into three groups and attack Yuzhou separately. I don't know which general intends to be handsome. ?”

As soon as Cao Cao finished speaking, Xia Houyuan was the first to stand up and said: "The last general Xia Houyuan is willing to lead an army for the king to conquer Yuzhou."

After Xia Houyuan, several people also stood up. The noise in the hall was extremely loud for a while, and many people in the ranks of civil servants on the other side were frowning.

"The last general, Xia Houdun, is willing to lead the army to fight and relieve the king's worries."

"The last general, Yue Jin, is willing to be commander-in-chief and take the head of that thief Yuan Shu for the king."

"The last general, Zhang Yan, has not made any achievements since returning to the king. This time, I, Zhang Yan, are willing to fight."

Seeing that all the generals are asking for battle, Cao Cao smiled and said: "This time I am determined to send 2 troops, divided into three groups from the left, middle and right. Each group has [-] troops. A total of three generals are needed. You can recommend yourself. "
