Liu Qi, the hegemon of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 362 Xu You's Visit

Seeing everyone's eyes cast over.

Sima Yi didn't show any timidity either, and said with a smile: "As the military adviser said, after a long period of conquest by the Jingzhou Army and the new surrender of the Southern Barbarians, they can use no more than [-] soldiers and horses, and even if Liu Qi wants to send troops, The first choice will not be Chang'an, but the land of Jizhou!"

"Our army has [-] elite soldiers in Chang'an. Even if Liu Qi sends troops to Chang'an, he will not be able to take the land of Chang'an quickly. Once our army withdraws, there will be a situation of two sides attacking. Therefore, Jingzhou Mu Liu Qi will not choose to attack Chang'an!"

"Besides, Yuan Shao launched a sneak attack on Jingzhou and directly took Jingzhou City. If it hadn't been for Ma Chao leading his troops to appear and subduing the Nanman army, the situation in Jingzhou is hard to say now. Therefore, if there is a chance, Liu Qi will choose to attack Jizhou first. Land, not Chang'an!"

"The one who needs to worry about Liu Qi sending troops should be Yuan Shao, not me!"

"But my subordinates believe that Liu Qi will not choose to mobilize troops again, and stay in Jingzhou. Now Jingzhou and Jiaozhou have just experienced chaos, and the land of Yizhou has just been taken. The situation in the land of Nanman is unknown. Once the army is mobilized, there is no guarantee what will happen. accident!"

After speaking, Sima Yi bowed his hands to Cao Cao.

heard.

Everyone also nodded in agreement. The analysis was sound. Even if they had slighted Sima Yi before, they would not have such thoughts now.

Cao Cao also showed joy in his eyes. After all, he has many capable people under his command, which is also a good thing, and he slowly let go of some worries in his heart, and said: "Although this is the case, we must guard against it. The detectives are secretly watching the movement of Jingzhou!"

He would not underestimate Liu Qi. Although the analysis was that way, there would inevitably be some mistakes and omissions, so monitoring was inevitable.

"promise!"

Everyone didn't refute it, it was just in case.

What's more, it is necessary to pay attention to the situation in Jingzhou. Now Liu Qi occupies Yizhou, Jingzhou, Jiaozhou, Nanman and other places. Compared with other princes, he is the number one enemy.

Although the princes did not publicly state it, they all knew that these princes had the intention of striving for hegemony in the Central Plains. As for the emperor of Chang'an—Han Xiandi Liu Xie, it was just a decoration.

Moreover, they all wanted to push Cao Cao to that position.

Even in normal times, there are scouts staring at the actions of the other princes; they also believe that the other princes also have the same actions.

At last.

Everyone in the main account also withdrew one after another and made arrangements according to the order.

Night falls.

Cao Jun's camp also lit torches and fire pans to illuminate everywhere.

Cao Jun's camp, which seemed a little noisy during the day, is now quiet, with only groups of patrolling soldiers walking around in the camp.

After all, after continuous raids, these Cao Jun soldiers are also a little physically and mentally exhausted.

This is also the reason why Cao Cao chose this place to stop the army. Even if a tired army has a large number of people, if it faces the elite Yuan army who is waiting for work, there is no guarantee that something will go wrong.

Otherwise, he would have gone straight to Jinyang without even taking a break.

Cao Cao has also gone to bed with his clothes on.

however.

In this quiet night, there were some noises in Cao Jun's camp.

"who?"

The generals of the Cao army guarding in front of the camp suddenly saw a carriage approaching the camp, and immediately became vigilant, and pointed the spear in their hands in the direction of the carriage.

However, because there was only one carriage and there was no fanfare, if there were other soldiers and horses, it would be impossible for the scouts outside the camp to miss them, and there was no notification yet.

It can only show that this carriage is not looking for trouble.

The carriage slowly came to the gate of the camp.

The groom also stopped the horses and stopped the carriage, then jumped out of the carriage, bent down to face the people in the carriage, cupped his hands and said, "Master, we've arrived!"

immediately.

Cao Jun, who was staring at the carriage vigilantly, saw a middle-aged scribe coming out of the carriage. With the support of the groom, he got out of the carriage and came towards the camp.

Stop not far away.

"You report as soon as possible, just say that your friend Xu You and Xu Ziyuan are coming to visit!" The middle-aged scribe said to Cao Jun.

This person is Xu You and Xu Ziyuan, one of Yuan Shao's advisors.

"Wait!"

The centurion guarding in front of the gate of the camp, when he heard Xu You's words, he also looked at Xu You seriously, and then said something, and asked the rest of the soldiers to keep an eye on Xu You, before turning around and leaving for the camp.

Wait for the centurion to go to the camp.

The soldiers guarding the camp gate also stared at Xu You and the groom.

Although Xu You might be someone Cao Cao knew well, he wasn't from their camp, and he didn't know why he came here, so he didn't relax at all.

Once Xu You and the groom made any out-of-the-ordinary moves, they would explode instantly.

See here.

Xu You's expression also remained unchanged, and he still looked cold. To him, this was nothing at all, and he was not from Cao Jun in the first place.

Suddenly appearing in Cao Jun's camp, it's normal for people to focus on him.

And if he comes with an army, it's not as simple as staring at him now. It is very likely that before he arrives at Cao Jun's camp, there will be a Cao Jun welcoming him.

He didn't believe that there were no scouts from Cao Jun on the way here, so Cao Cao would have died countless times.

He didn't make any moves, and let him come to Cao Jun's camp safely, it was only because there were only two of them.

When Xu You was thinking about something.

The centurion who was guarding in front of the gate of the camp also came to the main tent. Although he didn't know why Xu You came, he didn't dare to delay and trotted along the way.

"What's the matter?"

Before the centurion came to the main tent, a deep voice rang in his ears.

I saw a person standing in front of the main tent, wearing a battle armor, with sharp eyes, and his hand was on the saber.

The centurion also reacted in an instant, did not continue to approach the main account, stopped, and cupped his hands and said: "General Xu, there is a friend outside who claims to be the lord, named Xu You, Ziyuan, and wants to ask to see the lord!"

The general standing guard in front of the main tent is Xu Chu and Xu Zhongkang, Cao Cao's personal bodyguard. Since he followed Cao Cao, Cao Cao's camp has been guarded by Xu Chu.

Cao Cao's friend?
Hearing the words of the centurion.

Xu Chu also frowned, and then said, "Wait!"

"promise!"

The centurion didn't have any opinions, and stood aside with his hands folded.

Xu Chu opened the tent and walked into the main tent.

Of course, although he didn't guard outside, no one dared to approach the main tent, and there were guarding soldiers around. He was just guarding the front, not that he was alone.

After all, this is an issue related to Cao Cao's safety, and no one dares to relax.
