Liu Qi, the hegemon of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 320 The Movement of Chang'an
but said...

Yuan Shao sent general Yan Liang to command [-] troops, and when Liu Qi's army was held back by all parties, he detoured to Yingchuan and entered Xinye, which was also known by all parties.

After all, no matter how you hide, once you reach the boundary of Xinye, you can't continue to hide, and there is no need to hide anymore.

Because the purpose has been achieved.

Avoiding everyone's eyes, the army appeared outside Xinye, and the rest is how to attack.

Xinye is nothing, the main thing is that the past of Xinye is Jingzhou City, and this is what the princes are most concerned about.

Once Yuan Shao takes Jingzhou City, he will divide Jingzhou into Jingbei and Jingnan, so that Jingzhou cannot look at each other!
……

In Chang'an City.

On the prime minister's mansion.

Because Cao Cao held great power and a large army, he also sat on the position of prime minister, and Cao's mansion was more than doubled in size and became the prime minister's mansion.

Since Cao Cao returned to Chang'an after dividing the land of Bingzhou with Yuan Shao equally, he only stationed 20 troops in Luoyang.

He did not participate in the siege of Jingzhou, but he did not indicate that he would not do anything, which made people wonder.

Now on the case table before Cao Cao, there are also several proclamations.

Xi Zhicai, Xun Yu, Xun You and many other advisers were also summoned by Cao Cao.

"What do you guys think about Yuan Shao's marching troops to Jingzhou?" Cao Cao asked after scanning around.

He was also a little surprised in his heart. He originally thought that Yuan Shao would not make any moves, and Jizhou and Jingzhou were not adjacent, so it was normal that he didn't make any moves, so he wouldn't be too surprised.

But Yuan Shao made a move, and still had such a plan, he went straight to Xinye, and then captured Jingzhou City.

Even he had to admit that Yuan Shao's step was very powerful, and he had to praise it.

Xi Zhicai and the others looked at each other, they also knew what happened and what Cao Cao called them for.

"My lord, Yuan Shao's army suddenly appeared outside Xinye. It is obvious that Yuan Shao had already prepared for Yan Liang to lead the army to bypass the city and pass through the deep mountains and dense forests. This will have the unexpected effect!"

Finally, Yu Xizhi stepped forward.

Listening to Xi Zhicai's words, everyone nodded in agreement. If it weren't for this, how could the march of the [-] army not attract attention, and they wouldn't be discovered until the army appeared outside Xinye.

This is not a dozen people, dozens of people, or hundreds of people, but 5 people!
However, everyone present did not open their mouths, and waited for Xi Zhi to continue.

"The most important thing is that they chose the right timing. The tens of thousands of Jingzhou troops led by Zhao Yun have captured the two cities of Luocheng and Chengdu, and the entire Yizhou. In order to quell the chaos in Jingzhou, but that is just because there is no arrangement for the [-] Yuan army. The tens of thousands of soldiers and horses led by Zhao Yun will take two days at the fastest to return, and the [-] Yuan army only needs to divide the troops, and they can be dispatched in one day. Soldiers are coming to Jingzhou City!"

"And Liu Qi is now far away in Jianning, stalemate with the barbarian army, in a dilemma, returning to aid Jingzhou, then we have to give up Jiaozhou, and there is no time to rescue Jingzhou City, we can only defend elsewhere, and then find another way to regain Jingzhou; no Returning to help Jingzhou, you will definitely be eaten up gradually!"

Xi Zhicai analyzed without haste.

"That being said, Ke Zhicai, don't forget that Jingzhou still has soldiers that can fight!" Cao Cao said after thinking for a while.

"My lord's words are good, but I misunderstood the meaning of the military advisor!"

Everyone saw that it was Xun Yu and Xun Wenruo who spoke.

Xi Zhicai smiled, but did not speak.

"Wen Ruo, why did you say that?" Cao Cao asked with some doubts.

Xun Yu cupped his hands and said, "My lord, although Jingzhou has soldiers capable of fighting, the Jingzhou army defending Nanyang has already exhausted all its strength in the face of the coalition forces of Zhang Miao and Zhang Baiqi, and there is no spare force to divide the troops to stop it. The sudden appearance of [-] yuan troops; although there are [-] Jingzhou navy troops in Jiangxia, they are still there to resist the Jiangdong navy forces. After all, there is no [-] yuan troops. Maybe Zhou Yu, who is stationed in Lujiang, will not make much action. Continue to wait and see , but now it is different, it is a good time to seize the land of Jiangxia!"

"So, what Jingzhou can mobilize is only the [-] soldiers who stayed in Xinye, and the army led by Zhao Yun who didn't return!"

After finishing speaking, Xun Yu bowed his hands to Cao Cao, and then nodded to Xi Zhicai.

After listening to Xun Yu's words.

Cao Cao also came to his senses. What he thought of was that there were still many soldiers and horses in Jingzhou, but he also ignored the current situation in Jingzhou.

There are soldiers to fight, but there are also many situations to face.

After concentrating for a moment, he asked, "What do you think we should do?"

Everyone present also became silent.

This is the time to decide whether to attack Jingzhou or to make a choice in other situations!

"My lord, my subordinates think that we should mobilize troops against Jingzhou. With 20 troops, we can take Nanyang quickly!" One person stood up and said.

Everyone looked, it was Cheng Yu and Cheng Zhongde.

"I'm waiting for a second opinion!"

Some counselors who had the same idea as Cheng Yu also stood up and agreed with Cheng Yu's suggestion.

In their view, this is a good time to seize Jingzhou. Didn't they see that with the [-] yuan army joining, Jingzhou has become dangerous, and Jingzhou is a good place.

"That's wrong!" Xun You stood up and objected.

Ignoring the eyes of those counselors who agreed, he continued: "Master, this subordinate thinks that Jingzhou should not be mobilized at this time. Although Jingzhou is now surrounded by enemies, it is a good time to enter Jingzhou, but it also needs to face the rest of the princes. It doesn't do any good!"

"Master Xun, do you mean to stand still?" Cheng Yu said.

Xun You shook his head and said, "Your Majesty Cheng is too worried, I just think that the loss of Jingzhou's troops is greater than the gain! And we don't have to choose Jingzhou, just like Bingzhou, why is it not an opportunity? "

heard.

Cheng Yu also fell silent. If he was a little unconvinced at the beginning, he lost his temper after Xun You finished speaking.

If you send troops to Jingzhou and take the land of Nanyang, you will face Zhang Miao and Zhang Baiqi. If you win, you will have to face Yuan Shao's soldiers and horses if you take the land of Nanyang. Moreover, once Jiangdong intervenes, there will be Liu Bei from Xuzhou .

Finally, there is Liu Qi.

In this way, once it starts, it will be difficult to calculate how much loss will be in the end until the winner is decided, and it is hard to say whether it will be able to stand firm in Jingzhou.

But it is different to mobilize troops in Bingzhou.

Yuan Shao had [-] soldiers and horses in Jingzhou, once the war started, he didn't want to get out and get out.

It is not wrong to say that it is an opportunity, and the only one to face is Yuan Shao!

See Cheng Yu is silent.

Xun You didn't intend to be aggressive, but looked at Cao Cao.

Cao Cao didn't make a decision right away either. After thinking for a while, he also looked at Xi Zhicai and Xun Yu.
