The Three Kingdoms are invincible

Cao Cao ruthlessly threw the letter in his hand on the ground, his eyes were full of anger.

Ma Teng raised 20 troops to attack Chang'an, and Sun Jian raised [-] troops to attack Hefei!

Although Xinye City is small, but Liu Bei tried his best to defend it, and it was difficult to conquer it for a while.I led the army to attack for half a month, and the 15 soldiers lost more than [-]%, and finally broke the city.Unexpectedly, at this critical moment, Ma Teng and Sun Jian attacked together, putting his rear in a precarious situation in an instant.

Cao Cao was not reconciled, his soldiers suffered a lot of casualties, so why didn't the defenders on Xinye City suffer heavy losses?On the other hand, the defensive equipment in Xinye City was almost exhausted. Yesterday they even started to take off the tiles from the houses and use them as throwing objects to defend the city.Cao Cao believed that as long as he worked hard for a few more days, he would be able to capture Xinye City, and then use Xinye as a springboard to drive straight in and take down the entire Jingzhou in one go.

But the sudden intervention of Ma Teng and Sun Jian changed the whole situation in an instant.It will take a few more days, and I can indeed capture Xinye City, but if Chang'an and Hefei fall, and Ma Teng and Sun Jian's two armies attack Xuchang, my entire rear will be in danger of completely falling. What's the point of leading an army to take down the entire territory of Jingzhou?

Now that I hold the Son of Heaven and command the princes, I seem to be the most powerful overlord in the world, but if Xuchang falls and the Han Emperor changes hands, then even if I capture the whole of Jingzhou, I can only be an ordinary prince living in a corner.

"Ma Teng, Sun Jian, bullying people too much!" Cao Cao roared loudly, his tone full of resentment.

A group of civil and military personnel stood on both sides, and no one said anything.They don't know what to say at this time, and any words of comfort in the face of the current situation are just useless nonsense.

Both Guo Jia and Jia Xu frowned slightly, obviously, they both sensed something unusual.

"Feng Xiao, Wen He, what are you thinking about?" Cao Cao looked at the expressions of the two and knew that they were thinking, so he asked.

When Jia Xu heard Cao Cao's inquiry, he turned his attention to Guo Jia.He still adhered to his usual low-key style. As long as Cao Cao didn't clearly call the name and made him have to speak, he would definitely not say it if he could.

Seeing Jia Xu's gaze, Guo Jia smiled wryly, this Jia Wenhe was still the same.

But since Jia Xu adhered to the principle of keeping silent, he had to explain himself, so Guo Jia stepped forward and said, "Jia thinks that Ma Teng and Sun Jian sent troops at the same time is quite strange."

"Oh? Feng Xiao, what do you mean?" Cao Cao tried hard to suppress the anger in his heart after hearing Guo Jia say the word strange. After thinking about it carefully, the whole thing really seemed very wrong.

When he attacked Jingzhou, Ma Teng and Sun Jian both violated the border. Is this just a coincidence?

Although the troops in the rear were weakened when they went to Jingzhou by themselves, they were not completely unprepared.In fact, since Yuan Shao was eliminated, his own strength has surpassed that of other princes by a lot. Although he personally led the army to the south, he can also send a lot of soldiers to garrison the rear of the city.Both Chang'an and Hefei are strategically important places, and they cannot be captured in a moment, and even if the enemy can take advantage of the opportunity to go south to capture the city, it will inevitably have to pay a huge price.

Sun Jian's attack on Hefei was reasonable, although Sun Jian and Liu Biao did not deal with it, but the so-called cold lips and teeth, besides, he and Sun Jian had a feud with killing his son, so it was reasonable for him to attack Hefei desperately while he was going south.

But Ma Teng sent troops to attack Chang'an, which seemed very strange.Cao Cao and Ma Teng have also dealt with each other, so they have some understanding of his character.Ma Teng looks bold and bold on the outside, but he is actually a cautious person who will not easily offend his stronger opponents.If he didn't have full interests, how could he choose to fight against himself?

What's more, according to the news, Ma Teng dispatched a full 20 troops this time, and it is estimated that he sent out all the Qiang soldiers in Liangzhou, which meant a decisive battle.There is no deep hatred between me and him. Is it worth him to go to war?Allegiance to the Han Dynasty?This kind of reason is at best to coax a three-year-old child.

No, no, no matter how you look at it, there is a hint of conspiracy.

"Maybe we are caught in a big situation." Guo Jia said thoughtfully, "The other party planned it from the beginning. Once we attacked Jingzhou, Ma Teng and Sun Jian would echo each other from afar and take advantage of my back plan. Attacking when there is emptiness, intending to destroy my foundation."

Cao Cao nodded, obviously agreeing with Guo Jia's words.

But the question is, who is the person who can plan such a grand layout?Who is driving all this behind this, and at the same time let himself know nothing about it, and was completely kept in the dark, until the opponent's army came under pressure, and he suddenly realized that he had fallen into the dilemma of being attacked on both sides.

In the whole world, is there such a capable person?

"Who is it that set up this situation..." Cao Cao muttered softly, while thinking about those capable people hidden in the world?

"The person who made the arrangements...?" Seeing Cao Cao's expression, Gao Shun suddenly had a flash of inspiration and thought of a very famous name.

Could it be him?

That great talent who has been famous through the ages and is praised and praised by future generations, has he already come out of the mountain?

Zhuge Liang, could it be Zhuge Liang who planned this layout and put Cao Cao in such a predicament?

Thinking that Zhuge Liang might have become his enemy, Gao Shun couldn't help but feel palpitations.Zhuge Liang's reputation in later generations can be described as majestic, "Dedicate yourself to death, and then die", "Die before leaving the teacher, and make the hero burst into tears", words and sentences related to Zhuge Liang flashed in Gao Shun's mind at this moment Pass.

Zhuge is very wise but close to demons. If such a genius is really on the opposite side of Cao Cao, then Cao Cao will undoubtedly add an extremely difficult opponent.

Could it be that Zhuge Kongming is in this Xinye City right in front of him?

Cao Cao had Xiahou Dun's lessons learned from his past, and he marched extremely cautiously. In addition, there were two masterminds, Jia Xu and Guo Jia, in Cao's army, and there would be no chance of making mistakes easily. Therefore, Zhuge Liang did not come up with a strategy to defeat Cao's army outside Xinye City. .And the methods of defending the city can be described as the same, nothing more than rolling trees, falling stones, shooting arrows and pouring oil, etc. Therefore, after entering the battle of defending the city, Zhuge Liang failed to perform well.

Therefore, Zhuge Liang's reputation is still not well known at this time, and Cao Cao and others naturally do not know that in the small town of Xinye, there is a great talent who is enough to be famous for future generations.

"The whole army retreats." Although he was not reconciled to such a result, Cao Cao had no choice but to return to Chang'an and Hefei.The combined strength of Ma Teng's army and Sun Jian's army reached 30. Although the troops staying in Chang'an and Hefei are not small, they are still quite weak in the face of a large number of enemy troops.The other two lines were attacked at the same time. If he didn't lead his army back, Xun Yu probably wouldn't be able to send too many troops to rescue the two places at the same time.

"My lord, Jia thinks it's better to leave some troops behind and defend Wancheng." After Cao Cao gave the order for the entire army to retreat, Guo Jia stepped forward again to make a suggestion.

"Why?" Cao Cao asked.

"Jia feared that Liu Bei would take advantage of our entanglement with Ma Teng and Sun Jian to intervene and lead an army to attack Wancheng." Guo Jia explained slowly.

When Cao Cao heard this, his heart trembled.Liu Bei is going to intervene again?If that's the case, what I will face is not fighting on two sides, but being attacked on three sides.

Once Wancheng is breached, then Liu Bei will also have the possibility to go north to attack Xuchang.

"Feng Xiao's words are wrong. I think that Xinye City was attacked by our army day and night, and the defenders in the city were killed and injured. Now Liu Bei can't pull out even [-] troops. How can he attack Wancheng?" Guo Jia wanted to beware of Liu Bei's remarks, but before Cao Cao expressed his opinion, Xiahou Dun took it for granted.

"Liu Bei may not have soldiers, but Liu Biao definitely has them." Guo Jia's expression showed a rare solemnity.
