The battle in Yuzhong City ended with Liu Zhang's complete victory!
"Is this Han Sui a stupid pig? A few hundred thousand troops can't defeat tens of thousands of Yizhou troops?"
"And they were all wiped out!"
During the previous stalemate at Guandu, Cao Cao often felt desperate because of the disparity in military strength.
An army of 100,000 people can feel so oppressive, let alone an army of 300,000 people!
"There are 300,000 pigs standing there for Liu Zhang's Yizhou army to cut down. Can they finish it?"
Guo Jia remained silent and watched Cao Cao vent his anger.
He understood Cao Cao's mood at this time very well, because when he learned the news, he couldn't accept it either.
"How did Han Sui lose?"
Cao Cao originally thought that Han Sui could hold Liu Zhang back or even defeat him.
Unexpectedly, Han Sui was not only defeated, he was defeated so quickly and completely!
"Lord, Han Sui led an allied army of 300,000 to attack Yuzhong. Unexpectedly, just after the city was attacked, the entire army collapsed!"
"Liu Zhang first led his troops to pursue him, and then ordered his soldiers to make a surprise attack at night!"
"Han Sui was caught off guard and lost consecutive battles. He lost 150,000 troops in just one day..."
Guo Jia's tone was full of contempt.
Han Sui is known as the Nine Bends of the Yellow River, and he boasts of unparalleled wisdom and planning!
But the facts proved that Han Sui was stupid and incompetent, dragging down the three armies.
Guo Jia was very depressed and lamented why they didn't face such a stupid enemy.
"Didn't Han Sui still have an army of 150,000? How could he be defeated!"
Cao Cao was very depressed, and his previous good mood was gone.
This news had such an impact on him that it completely changed his plans.
"After Han Sui's defeat, he once again wooed the Qiang people, and finally gathered an army of 250,000, and once again came to the city."
Cao Cao's eyes widened, filled with confusion.
"How stupid is Han Sui? He destroyed 400,000 troops one after another!"
Guo Jia's face was also full of helplessness. He was also curious about how stupid Han Sui was!
"My lord, it seems that Han Sui and Ma Chao caused internal strife. Liu Zhang took the opportunity to send troops and won victory in one fell swoop."
"But the specific situation is unknown..."
Cao Cao closed his eyes in frustration, and then sighed heavily.
"Hey! How is Han Sui doing now?"
"Dead, killed by Ma Chao himself."
Hearing that Han Sui did not die in Liu Zhang's hands, Cao Cao breathed a sigh of relief.
"fine..."
Han Sui was killed by Ma Chao, proving that Ma Chao still had the strength to resist.
"My lord, it doesn't seem to be going well..."
How much Guo Jia wanted the ending to be what Cao Cao wanted, but the reality was completely the opposite.
"Ma Chao also surrendered to Liu Zhang..."
Guo Jia's words were like a big stone, directly blocking Cao Cao's chest, causing him endless pain.
"Ma Chao surrendered! Wouldn't that mean..."
Cao Cao was immediately at a loss for words, his face turned red from holding back but he was completely speechless.
Seeing this, Guo Jia nodded helplessly and spoke out for Cao Cao.
"Now all the counties and counties west of Longshan belong to Liu Zhang!"
Cao Cao suddenly felt a little dazed, and even felt weak all over.
"Lord!"
Guo Jia quickly helped Cao Cao and let him sit on the throne.
"Lord, how are you?"
Cao Cao waved his hand weakly and took several deep breaths.
"I'm fine."
"Fengxiao, Liu Zhang's next step must be to march into Sanfu. What do you think we should do?"
The current three areas are nominally under the jurisdiction of the imperial court, but are actually Cao Cao's territory.
Otherwise, Cao Cao would not have been able to let Wei Qian go to Chang'an to take charge of affairs.
At present, Yuan Shao has assembled a large army and may invade at any time.
If Liu Zhang leads his army to invade again, Cao Cao will be faced with enemies from both sides!
Once Guanzhong is occupied by Liu Zhang, the entire Yanzhou will be exposed to Liu Zhang's troops at any time!
His future was originally bright, but now he was about to fall into crisis. How could Cao Cao not feel extremely depressed?
"My lord, although Liu Zhang achieved victory by annihilating the Han-Sui coalition, he wiped out 400,000 Qiang soldiers. How could the Yizhou army remain unscathed?"
"Now the Xianbei people are still raging in Guanzhong. If Liu Zhang wants to occupy Guanzhong, he must first get rid of the 200,000 Xianbei cavalry!"
"So in the short term, we don't have to worry about pressure from Liu Zhang!"
In Guo Jia's view, Liu Zhang must have relied heavily on manpower to defeat Han Sui.
The most likely thing is a counter-intentional plan!
The internal strife between Han Sui and Ma Chao directly proved Guo Jia's guess.
Without countermeasures, it would be difficult for Liu Zhang to achieve complete victory.
But facing the Xianbei people, there were no conditions for Liu Zhang to use strategies.
Liu Zhang claimed that 100,000 troops came out of Hanzhong, but he could not destroy 400,000 Xianbei people and still maintain 100,000 troops!
Therefore, Guo Jia concluded that it would be much more difficult for Liu Zhang to destroy the Xianbei people than for the Qiang people led by Han Sui.
Cao Cao shook his head in frustration. He was worried not only about the threat from Liu Zhang.
"Fengxiao, the Xianbei people were brought by Han Sui, and Han Sui was wiped out. Will the Xianbei people still stay in Guanzhong to fight against Liu Zhang?"
"Once the Xianbei people retreat, Liu Zhang will occupy the entire Guanzhong without any bloodshed!"
"At that time, I'm afraid we were in a bloody battle with Yuan Shao..."
What Cao Cao fears most is that during the stalemate with Yuan Shao, Liu Zhang suddenly comes out to disrupt the situation!
With Liu Zhang's cunning character, Cao Cao would never believe that he would miss the opportunity to fight.
"Lord, let's drive the tigers and devour the wolves! Find a way to get the Xianbei people to stay and help us deal with Liu Zhang!"
"Drive the tiger away and devour the wolf!"
Cao Cao's eyes lit up, and then he frowned.
Guo Jia's strategy is indeed very clever, but there is one biggest problem.
The Xianbei people are cruel by nature, who can order them?
"Feng Xiao, the Xianbei people repeatedly attacked Yuan Shao, which forced Yuan Shao to gather heavy troops at the border."
"They are not even afraid of the powerful Yuan Shao, so how can they listen to us?"
At least Cao Cao couldn't think of any reason why he could make the Xianbei people obey his orders.
Guo Jia's eyes narrowed slightly, and a cold and ruthless look gradually appeared.
"My lord, the Xianbei people are from Guanzhong. Han Sui must have promised them something."
"I think it's probably the place in Guanzhong!"
"In this case, my lord can grant them the land of Guanzhong in the name of the imperial court and let them defend their territory!"
Cao Cao looked at Guo Jia in disbelief. He didn't expect that he had such a bad idea!
"Fengxiao, you are trying to trap me into injustice!"
The land of Guanzhong has been the land of the Han Dynasty for four hundred years and has never been occupied by others, let alone given to the Xianbei people!
Cao Cao couldn't even imagine how people in the world would scold him if he really dared to do this!
Unexpectedly, Guo Jia suddenly raised the corners of his mouth and revealed a smile.
"My lord, this strategy of driving a tiger to devour a wolf is not just about driving one party away!"
"But who is the tiger? Who is the wolf? It's all up to us!"
