"Wen Ruo, do you know Liu Zhang's deployment in Liangzhou?"
Xun Yu nodded slightly. He had actually asked the Yizhou envoy this question, and the Yizhou envoy also answered him.
"I know that Liu Zhang deployed 20,000 people on the Chencang and Shanggui front lines, and 30,000 people on the Longshan Street Pavilion."
Guo Jia's eyes narrowed slightly, and the solemn look on his face became more and more serious.
"Liu Zhang has completely cut off the road between Guanzhong and Liangzhou!"
Although Guo Jia has never been to Guanzhong, he still knows the roads in Guanzhong very well.
With these 50,000 people blocking the road, how can the Xianbei people enter Liangzhou?
"Fengxiao, wouldn't it be more advantageous for us if Liu Zhang goes eastward later?"
In Xun Yu's view, the original intention of the strategy of driving away tigers and devouring wolves was more to hold back Liu Zhang.
He would not believe that with the resourcefulness of Cao Cao and Guo Jia, they would expect the Xianbei people to defeat Liu Zhang.
And since Guo Jia devised a plan to drive away tigers and devour wolves, he naturally had a way to keep the Xianbei people in Guanzhong.
Anyway, after the cholera attacks of Dong Zhuo, Li Jue, Guo Si and others, the land of Guanzhong was already in ruins.
The people in Guanzhong have almost left, so there is no problem if the land in Guanzhong is temporarily occupied by the Xianbei people.
"Why!"
Before Guo Jia could speak, he heard Cao Cao sigh heavily.
"Wen Ruo, before Fengxiao asked me to grant the land of Guanzhong to the Xianbei people in the name of the imperial court, and then provide them with food and drive them to fight against Liu Zhang."
"If Liu Zhang was not in Liangzhou, the Yizhou army would naturally not invade Guanzhong. Wouldn't the Xianbei people use cavalry to attack the city?"
After Xun Yu heard Cao Cao's words, he was shocked again and glared at Guo Jia beside him.
"Guo Jia! Are you crazy? Don't you know how much food we have?"
"There are nearly 200,000 people in Xianbei. How can we provide for them?"
In the previous battle of Guandu, if Xun Yu had not worked so hard, the front line would have been out of food.
Now, I didn’t expect that Guo Jia would give away the food he had finally saved up!
It won't be long before Yuan Shao leads his army to attack again.
If all the food is given to the Xianbei people, what can they do to resist Yuan Shao's army?
Xun Yu was very angry, Guo Jia was completely unworthy of the family and did not know how valuable firewood and rice were!
Food, such an important material, was given to others at will.
Guo Jia's eyes were empty and unresponsive, and he seemed not to have heard Xun Yu's angry rebuke at all.
"you..."
Xun Yu wanted to reprimand Guo Jia, but Cao Cao quickly stopped him and signaled Xun Yu to be quiet for the time being and not to disturb Guo Jia.
After a long time, Guo Jia raised his head. But the sadness between his eyebrows became even heavier.
"My lord, we are going to drive the tiger to devour the wolf, but we didn't expect that Liu Zhang would also try to drive the tiger to devour the wolf!"
"What's the meaning?"
Cao Cao quickly asked Guo Jia questions, but he had no clue at all.
"My lord, Liu Zhang is using retreat to drive tigers and swallow wolves!" "He has completely cut off the road to Liangzhou, so that he can force the Xianbei people to advance eastward and endanger us!"
Xun Yu also didn't understand what Guo Jia meant and looked confused.
"Fengxiao, how could the Xianbei people listen to Liu Zhang?"
"Oops! The Xianbei people have no food, so they can't advance westward. There are only two ways to go!"
"The first is to march eastward to plunder, the second is to retreat to the desert!"
Guo Jia is very irritable. Xun Yu is usually so smart that people are shocked. Why is his reaction so slow today!
"There are nearly 200,000 Xianbei cavalry. Once we advance eastward and face the vast plains of Yanzhou, how will we fight against the enemy?"
"If Yuan Shao takes advantage of the situation and attacks, how can we resist?"
Xun Yu was silent, and Cao Cao was also shocked by the sudden change.
At this moment, they all felt the crisis coming!
The best way at present is to stabilize the Xianbei people in Guanzhong, so that they cannot advance or retreat, and defend Cao Cao from the threat from the west.
But stabilizing the Xianbei people requires an amazing amount of food!
Even if Yanzhou, Yuzhou, and Xuzhou were depleted of food, they would not be able to feed such a large army of Xianbei people.
What's more, Cao Cao has to face the threat of Yuan Shao from the north at any time!
Perhaps in the next moment, Cao Cao will receive news of Yuan Shao's attack.
Without food, the Xianbei people would inevitably jump over the wall. Once he led his army to advance eastward, Cao Cao would be unable to cope with it.
At that time, we can only hold on to the city and let the Xianbei cavalry wreak havoc on his Central Plains land.
All the states and counties under Cao Cao's command were once the hardest hit areas by the Yellow Turban Rebellion and experienced several wars.
After years of recuperation, I finally regained some vitality.
If the Xianbei people are killed, all efforts will be in vain.
However, by allowing the Xianbei people to withdraw from Guanzhong into the desert, Liu Zhang was able to occupy Guanzhong without any bloodshed.
At that time, all the initiative will be controlled by Liu Zhang. He can send troops to Yanzhou at any time, and even give Cao Cao a fatal blow when he fights with Yuan Shao!
"What to do! What to do now! You should think of a way!"
Cao Cao was so angry that he could only roar loudly.
Liu Zhang's persistent strategy immediately forced Cao Cao to a dead end!
"Report!"
At this moment, a guard suddenly walked in outside the door and quickly looked at Cao Cao.
"What's the matter!"
Cao Cao's facial features were a little distorted, and his voice was full of annoyance.
The guards knew Cao Cao's temper well and did not dare to delay at all.
"Lord, there are people from the school affairs office outside, coming to look for Military Advisor Guo."
"Quick pass!"
The guard did not dare to hesitate and ran out quickly.
Cao Cao turned to look at Guo Jia and found that Guo Jia was also looking at him.
The School Affairs Office is an intelligence organization run by Guo Jia. Generally, news from various places will be transmitted through the School Affairs Office.
But today, people from the School Affairs Office were so anxious that they came to Sikong Mansion to look for Guo Jia. There must be something big going on.
Cao Cao couldn't help but clenched his fists and had an even worse premonition.
"I heard that Liu Zhang once said, 'The storm is about to come, and the wind will fill the building.' I, Sikong, have experienced it personally today!"
Things between the Xianbei people and Yuan Shao were already in a mess. Unexpectedly, not only did they show no signs of improvement, but they felt like they were experiencing bad luck again and again!
Soon the people from the school affairs office were brought to Cao Cao. Just as the man was about to salute, he heard Guo Jia scolding him.
"Speak quickly!"
The guards of the school affairs office did not dare to delay and quickly reported the information they had just received.
"Military advisor, there is news from Runan County that Liu Bei has joined forces with the Yellow Turban leader Gong Du and others from Runan County to gather tens of thousands of people."
"Runan defender Cai Yang led his army to attack, but was defeated! Cai Yang was also beheaded by Guan Yu! Now the entire Runan County has fallen into Liu Bei's hands!"
Cao Cao felt that the sky was dark and the earth was dark, and he almost fell to the ground.
Yuan Shao's 150,000-strong army in the north has no plan to defeat the enemy, and the Xianbei cavalry in the west is about to turn from allies into enemies.
The problems in these two areas have not been resolved yet, and it is inevitable that Liu Bei will appear again to cause trouble!
"Is it possible that God wants to destroy me, Cao Cao?"
Cao Cao wailed, his eyes even showing a look of despair.
If Yuan Shao, Liu Bei, and the Xianbei people attack, how can I resist them?
"Lord, you have to cheer up!"
Guo Jia's consolation made him even more embarrassed, and he felt even more regretful.
"Fengxiao, I regret that I let Liu Bei go because I didn't listen to you!"
