After Longxi County was recovered under the leadership of Zhao Tong.

However, he did not suspend the offensive, but quickly asked the general Zhang Fei to fight in the Western Expedition.

After some analysis of the general situation in Liangzhou, Zhang Fei finally gave his approval.

After receiving the order, he borrowed his Xiliang cavalry from Ma Chao. After a short rest, Zhao Tong led his generals and nearly 6,000 cavalry to march westward.

The iron hooves stepped on the ground, like an earthquake!

The people around him were undoubtedly shocked both physically and mentally.

Everywhere he passed, there was a cloud of dust.

Before the main forces of the various ministries led by Liu Bei, the king of Hanzhong, gathered in Longxi, Zhao Tong's troops had already continued to advance westward without stopping, rushing towards the mountains and rivers.

…

As for the fall of Longxi County, military information naturally spread to Chang'an City, the capital of Guanzhong.

The King of Wei, Cao Cao, who was in charge of Chang'an, was already very busy due to the unfavorable situation on the Xiangfan and Guanlong fronts. Now he suddenly heard about the military situation of the fall of Longxi, and he couldn't help but hold his head in his arms in an instant.

My head hurt again.

It seems like the old headache is coming back due to excessive stress!

He hugged his head for a long time, and finally managed to hold on with his willpower. Then he looked at the counselors on both sides of the hall with squinted eyes, which were old and strong but still full of wisdom.

"Now that Longxi County has been captured, what do you think we should do for now?"

As soon as the words were spoken, the expressions of the civil and military officials on both sides suddenly changed, and then they all looked at each other, speechless for a while!

Cao Cao glanced around, and just when he was feeling disappointed, he suddenly saw his adviser Liu Ye, who had been brooding for a while and seemed to be eager to try. He quickly asked:

"Zi Yang, do you have any advice this time?"

Hearing this, Liu Ye looked calm and slowly cupped his hands and said:

"Your Majesty, Longxi County is where the passage runs through the east and west of Liangzhou."

"This time it is lost, our army will take it back at all costs."

"If not, I'm afraid the land west of Hexi will no longer be owned by the country!"

After saying these words, Cao Cao also pondered on his face, and after a long time he responded: "According to the order of King Gu, Zhang He is ordered to march to Longxi with most of his troops, and he must regain this place."

When the order was given, the guard quickly raised his hand and said "Wei" and then stepped back to deliver the order.

But at this time, Uncle Jia, who was standing on the left side with a blank face, standing there motionless, without any ripples in the ancient well, and with no sense of existence, suddenly spoke.

When Cao Cao saw this, his expression suddenly changed, and he looked a little worried!

He became a little worried.

He has been familiar with the temperament of this old fox like Jia Xu for decades, and he has a thorough understanding of it.

This person usually behaves in an extremely low-key manner and has an extremely low profile.

When he is in the middle of the court, he will not form any clique for personal gain or get involved in the fight for the right to inherit the throne.

The whole attitude is that of an outsider!

But if he doesn't speak, that's fine. If he speaks, it will be a big deal.

Seeing Jia Xu about to speak, Cao Cao was naturally startled.

That is to say, his mentality is different from ordinary people. He quickly buries his emotional fluctuations in his heart and listens quietly.

"Your Majesty, in my opinion, I am afraid that General Zhang's subordinates alone will not be able to recapture Longxi County!"

Jia Xu opened with lightning strikes and took the lead in putting forward his own arguments.

When Cao Cao heard this for the first time, he looked surprised and quickly asked: "What do Wen He mean by this?"

"It is said that when General Zhang led his troops to attack the important town of Qishan in the previous period, Zhang Fei led hundreds of elites to rush into the rebel army and disrupt the army."

"His inability to deal with the situation just caused the army to return in defeat,"

"The people in charge of Longxi County this time are Zhang Fei and Ma Chao. These two are the most powerful generals in the world. I'm afraid General Zhang will be hard-pressed to defeat him!"

After finishing his words, Jia Xu paused for a moment, then raised his hands and said again:

"This is one of them, maybe not the most critical."

"If Xu's prediction is correct, then Liu Bei must have personally led the main force to follow us northward in an attempt to compete with us for the ownership of the Guanlong land."

"Otherwise, the Shu army in Wudu will definitely not take the lead in launching a counterattack."

"Once the main force of the Shu army gathers in Longxi, General Zhang will be at an absolute disadvantage in terms of military strength. Under such a situation, it will be difficult for him to barely defend the land east of Longshan!"

"Wouldn't it be even more difficult to recapture Longxi County?"

The words fell, and as Jia Xu spat out these few words, Cao Cao, as smart as he was, fell into deep thought for a moment.

After thinking for a long time, he quickly reacted and said loudly:

"Could it be that Wenhe's intention is to allow the orphans to lead their own expeditions again?"

"What the king said is absolutely true! This is exactly what Xu means."

After hearing this, Jia Xu also bowed his hands slightly and replied.

"The ghost of Liu Bei, the boy who weaved mats and sold shoes, is still there, and he must be destroyed!"

"However, the territory in Guanzhong is still unstable this time. There are intruders from Shu troops in Chencang and Jicheng. If I lead the main force to Longyou, will there be danger in the rear?"

After finishing his words, Cao Cao's eyes became more solemn, and he added: "There is also a war in Jingzhou that cannot be delayed at the moment. If I leave Chang'an, I may not be able to take care of the Jingxiang defense line at the same time."

For a moment, Cao Cao expressed all the concerns deep in his heart.

This two-front battle has made him physically and mentally exhausted.

He just felt that he was already a little too busy.

Facing the Lord's question, Jia Xu looked calm and calm, and responded as if he was well prepared:

"Your Majesty, regarding the defense of Guanzhong, I think there is no need to worry too much!"

"With the two generals Cao Zhen and Cao Xiu guarding Baocheng and Chencang respectively, and containing the attacks of Shu generals Zhao Yun and Wu Yi, there will be no mistakes."

"With two people here, the pass will be safe!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Jia Xu's expression became quite solemn, and he cupped his hands and said: "Master Cao Zhang is brave and brave. If he can accompany the king to fight against the Shu army in person, his chances of winning will be greatly increased!"

"As long as we win the war, it will be much easier for our army to recapture Longxi County."

After a while, the words fell.

He seemed to have been thinking deeply for a long time, and just now he mentioned the war situation in Jingzhou and said: "As for General Cao Ren, I think that for the sake of safety, the king can recruit another elite force to Wancheng to support General Xu."

"Let him lead most of the troops south to attack Guan Yu's army and relieve Fancheng from the siege."

After a few words, Jia Xu's eloquent words almost easily solved the problems that Cao Cao was worried about.

Cao Cao couldn't help but look overjoyed for a moment and shouted:

"Wen He's words are so heartwarming!"

"Okay, let's act accordingly."

As soon as he finished speaking, Cao Cao was already very decisive. He quickly picked up the pen and revised a letter again and sent it to Xudu.

He ordered the city defenders to general Yin Shu, and Zhu Gai led 12 battalions of elite soldiers and horses to go south again to join Xu Huang's troops and march south together.

In addition, in order to ensure that the Jingxiang defense line would be victorious, he also sent his advisor Dong Zhao to Wancheng to advise Xu Huang on the military affairs.

Since then, in addition to Xu Huang and Zhao Yan, he has successively dispatched twelve battalions including Xu Shang, Lu Jian, and now Yin Shu and Zhu Gai.

The troops gathered in Jingzhou were already numerous and vast.

Cao Cao has obviously put all his efforts into defending Jingxiang, Guanlong and Guanxiang at the same time. Even though the pressure on his side will be doubled, he will not give up any of his defense lines.

We will definitely not let the Shu army's offensive succeed!

And just after Cao Cao completed the deployment, Jia Xu slowly added, "By the way, before your Majesty marches on the army, there is still one area that cannot be ignored."

"Xu estimates that after the Shu army conquers Longxi, it will lead its army west to attack the counties in Hexi."
