Liu Qi, the hegemon of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 321 The Movement of Chang'an
After listening to Xun You and Cheng Yu's arguments.

Cao Cao did not immediately express his attitude, but looked at Xi Zhicai and Xun Yu.

A group of counselors were also divided into two parties.

One side thinks that now is a very good opportunity, a rare opportunity in a thousand years. After all, now the princes are attacking Jingzhou together. No matter what the reason is, or whether they really join forces, it doesn't matter.

On the other hand, the other party thinks that safety is the main priority. Although Jingzhou is under siege, once they join in, they will not only have to face Jingzhou's soldiers and horses.

Seeing Cao Cao's eyes cast on Xi Zhicai and Xun Yu.

They didn't quarrel, they all knew the position of Xi Zhicai and Xun Yu in Cao Cao's heart, which was beyond their comparability.

"My lord, now Jingzhou is in danger, and Nanyang is also supported by the coalition forces of Zhang Miao and Zhang Baiqi. If our army captures the land of Nanyang, it will not take much effort. But in this way, our army will have to compete with the coalition forces of Zhang Miao and Zhang Baiqi!"

"Furthermore, the [-] troops led by Yan Liang will definitely be able to take Jingzhou City, but it is difficult to decide whether to capture Jingbei or Jingnan; if you capture Jingnan, you will not be able to confront our army; if Taking Jingbei, our army will have to face one more enemy!"

"If the Jingzhou Army stationed in Nanyang sees that things cannot be done and Jingzhou City falls again, they may give up the land of Nanyang directly, retreat to Shangyong, unite with Hanzhong, stick to Shangyong, and look for opportunities!"

"Although there are many disadvantages, if we win the land of Nanyang, it will be of great benefit to our army. What's more, with our army's strength, it is not impossible to defend the land of Nanyang and further expand the results of the battle!"

heard.

Cheng Yu also smiled. Xun Yu's words were obviously supporting him. Although there were risks, the benefits were not small.

But Xun You winks at Xun Yu frequently, isn't this trying to demolish him, or is it not a family.

when they think so.

Xun Yu changed his voice and continued: "However, if you give up Jingzhou and send troops to merge the state, you can also take advantage of Yuan Shao's eyes on Jingzhou, take the entire land of Bingzhou, and take the rest of the land as well." It's not impossible!"

"This, isn't this helping Jingzhou out of trouble?" Cheng Yu said.

At first he thought that Xun Yu was supporting him, but now he heard that Xun Yu said that he would give up attacking Jingzhou and turn his head to deal with Bingzhou. He also didn't understand what Xun Yu's plans were, but he still asked what was in his heart. Confuse.

Cao Cao, Xun You and others also looked at Xun Yu with doubts in their eyes.

After all, mobilizing troops in Bingzhou is beneficial to them, and they only need to deal with Yuan Shao alone, but if Yuan Shao knows, he will definitely transfer the army back.

In this way, Jingzhou's predicament will be lifted in an instant, and it is their help.

"This statement is wrong. Mr. Cheng only thought of one thing, but didn't know the other!" Xun Yu shook his head and said, "We can wait until the [-] Yuan troops who entered Jingzhou start to attack Jingzhou, and then send troops to merge the state. , the [-] army led by Yan Liang will inevitably be dragged in Jingzhou, and Yuan Shao wants to withdraw it, it will be easier said than done!"

"Of course, how to decide is still up to the lord!"

Xun Yu said one last thing, he also thought in his heart that capturing Bingzhou was the most appropriate, and continued to carry out the strategy of unifying the north.

However, now is indeed a good time to seize Jingzhou.

It was difficult to make a decision, so he analyzed the stakes and let Cao Cao choose.

"Subordinates agree!"

Xi Zhicai also had the same idea as Xun Yu, and stood up, showing that he and Xun Yu had the same idea.

heard.

The rest of the counselors also fell silent, and they had to admit that both sides were good opportunities, and it would be difficult to explain which one was the most favorable.

Jingzhou seems to be in danger, but who dares to confirm the final result.

They all looked at Cao Cao, after all, Cao Cao was the one who made the final decision.

I see.

Cao Cao was also silent, stroking the beard on his chin with one hand, his eyes flickering non-stop, apparently lost in thought, unable to make a decision.

Yoshihisa
"Let the army start from Luoyang and go to Nanyang. All the way, it must be magnificent. During the period, the soldiers and horses will be secretly rushed to Bingzhou in batches. When the time comes, they will directly seize the remaining half of Bingzhou!" Cao Cao Said with a firm face.

Let the army march to Nanyang, then other people will think that he is also going to send troops to Jingzhou, and during the march, slowly separate the soldiers and horses and rush to Bingzhou, which can reduce the attention of other princes.

Wait until the other princes find out.

His army had already assembled in Bingzhou, even if Yuan Shao wanted to send troops from Jizhou to support Bingzhou, it was too late.

"promise!"

All the counselors also stood up and clapped their hands in agreement.

Looking at Cao Cao's expression, he knew that Cao Cao had made up his mind not to send troops to Jingzhou, but to seize the land of Bingzhou.

They didn't even think about objecting. After all, whether it was to capture Nanyang or Bingzhou, there was a chance. They just chose one of them.

When Xun Yu heard Cao Cao's decision, he was also relieved.

He was very much in favor of seizing Bingzhou, but he didn't want Cao Cao to lie down in the muddy waters of Jingzhou.

He, who is in charge of internal affairs, knows better than anyone else that although the shortage of food has been alleviated to some extent since Cao Cao led the army to withdraw from Bingzhou, some can still be saved.

But if there is no change in the attack on Nanyang, it will definitely turn into a melee in the end, and there will be a stalemate in Jingzhou. With such consumption, he doesn't know if he can survive the stalemate to the end. Without food and grass, how can he maintain the army's conquest .

But it would be different if they attacked Bingzhou. With the current situation and surprise, facing Yuan Shao's soldiers and horses, the current stock of grain and grass was enough to support them.

"So, everyone, go down and make arrangements as soon as possible!" Cao Cao waved his hand.

He also had the idea of ​​capturing Jingzhou. After all, Jingzhou was in such a good position and was rich. Taking Jingzhou and plundering Liu Qi's resources would be enough to support his army for a long time.

But for some reason, a sense of crisis also rose in my heart.

It seems that if you attack Jingzhou, you will fall into it, and you may not get anything.

Thinking about all kinds of things, he decided to give up the endangered Jingzhou first, deal with Yuan Shao first, take the land of Bingzhou, and then implement the plan to unify the north.

"promise!"

Everyone also bowed their hands and retreated.

With [-] Yuan Jun appearing in Jingzhou territory.

Chang'an also started to make his moves.
