Time passed little by little, and when Cao Cao was dizzy by Guo Jia, Guo Jia finally stopped.
Cao Cao and Xun Yu couldn't help but tremble in their hearts.
Guo Jia's stop this time will determine the future fate of the Cao Cao Group.
Unfortunately, a long time passed, and Guo Jia did not speak, nor did he look at Cao Cao and Xun Yu.
Cao Cao's forehead and back were covered with sweat, and he wanted to ask what happened.
But when the words came to his lips, he was never able to say them out.
Cao Cao was very afraid. He was not only afraid that Guo Jia had no solution, but also worried that it would interrupt some of the ideas that Guo Jia finally found.
There was no sound in the room, and the air was unusually solid due to tension.
Cao Cao and Xun Yu consciously held their breath, unwilling to cause any interference to Guo Jia.
After an unknown amount of time, Cao Cao and Xun Yu finally heard Guo Jia's voice.
"Wen Ruo, you mean... it was the Yizhou envoy who told you about the deployment of the Yizhou army and Liu Zhang's movements?"
Xun Yu was slightly stunned. Although he didn't understand what Guo Jia meant, he nodded quickly and answered him.
"Yes, that's exactly it."
Guo Jia put his hand on his chin and thought for a while, then looked at Xun Yu again.
"Wen Ruo, is there really nothing wrong with the Yizhou envoy?"
Guo Jia's problem is very obvious, and there is obviously not enough evidence to prove his guess.
Xun Yu also stroked his chin and fell into deep thought.
However, the Yizhou envoy exchanged only a few words with him, and indeed nothing was missed.
"correct!"
The two words Xun Yu immediately attracted the attention of Cao Cao and Guo Jia.
"I almost forgot that the envoy mentioned that Liu Zhang wanted to reorganize the counties and counties under Yongliang Prefecture, and provided candidates for the governor of Liangzhou."
It's a pity that Xun Yu didn't bring any surprises.
Liu Zhang's intention was obvious, to arrange for his own people to occupy the states and counties he conquered.
This is also a very common practice and has no special intention.
But Guo Jia's eyes suddenly lit up and he quickly asked Xun Yu.
"Wen Ruo, have you asked Liu Zhang how he wants to divide Yongliang?"
Xun Yu nodded and asked casually.
"Change the counties under the jurisdiction of Liangzhou to Dunhuang County, Xihai County, Jiuquan County, Zhangye County, Wuwei County, and Jincheng County, and promote Lu Su to be the governor of Liangzhou."
Guo Jia quickly looked at the map and confirmed the geographical locations of these counties one by one.
"Wen Ruo, where is Yongzhou? Did the envoy from Yizhou mention it?"
Xun Yu shook his head, this time it was really gone.
"Fengxiao, Yongliang Prefecture only has these counties. Excluding the six counties requested by Liu Zhang, isn't the rest under the jurisdiction of Yongzhou?"
Liu Zhang could not forcefully merge counties from other states, and no one was willing to listen to him.
“Tell me which counties there are!”
Xun Yu didn't understand Guo Jia's persistent purpose, but he still answered his question.
"Yongzhou governs Jingzhaoyin, Fengyi on the left, Fufeng on the right, Beidi County, Anding County, Longxi County, Hanyang County and Wudu County."
“What’s the use of how these counties are divided?”
Xun Yu felt that there was something wrong with the way Guo Jia handled the crisis.
Instead of obsessing over what counties there are in the two states of Yongliang, it is better to think about how to defeat the armies of Liu Bei and Yuan Shao.
Guo Jia didn't even look at Xun Yu's face and kept looking for him on the map.
"Ha ha ha ha...!"
Not long after, Guo Jia suddenly burst into laughter.
"Lord, I understand!"
"what do you know?"
Cao Cao quickly stood up and walked to Guo Jia excitedly.
"Look, my lord, this is Wudu County, this is Hanyang County. This is Longxi County."
Guo Jia kept marking on the map to let Cao Cao see it more clearly.
"Lord, look again, this is the street pavilion and this is the Chencang."
Cao Cao looked at the map and then at Guo Jia, but he didn't understand what he meant at all.
"Fengxiao, aren't these the places occupied by Liu Zhang?"
"Yes, but these places are all bordering Liangzhou, which was re-demarcated by Liu Zhang, but they were not included in the territory of Liangzhou by him. Why?"
Guo Jia's eyes were no longer confused and he regained his energy.
"Lord, if your name is not correct, your words will not go smoothly, and if your words are not right, things will not go smoothly!"
"Since Liu Zhang has recommended the candidate for the governor of Liangzhou, he must want the prefectures and counties he occupies to get the support of the imperial court."
"In this case, why did he abandon Wudu County, Longxi County and Hanyang County and not let these three counties be legitimately under his command?"
Cao Cao nodded with understanding and focused all his energy on the map.
When he saw the mark Guo Jia marked in Chencang, he immediately understood Guo Jia's intention.
Longxi County and Wudu County control the Qishan Road, which is equivalent to the flanks of Hanzhong.
Hanyang County is connected with Chencang, controls Guanlong Avenue, is connected with Youfufeng, and completely controls the throat from Guanzhong into Hanzhong.
If Longxi County, Wudu County, and Hanyang County are included in Yongzhou, it will not only completely protect the Hanzhong main road, but also be very convenient for management.
"Liu Zhang meant to be a filial piety!"
"good!"
Guo Jia's eyes were full of admiration. He didn't expect Cao Cao to wake up so quickly.
"My lord, as a clan member of the Han Dynasty, how could Liu Zhang not want to occupy the great righteousness? He would definitely not do something as unpopular as occupying a county for no reason!"
"Therefore, I conclude that Liu Zhang has already assembled his army and is waiting to take Guanzhong in one fell swoop!"
Cao Cao's eyes kept flashing as he was thinking about Guo Jia's judgment.
If it is true as Guo Jia said, then everything is back to the best direction!
As for the clown Liu Bei, Cao Cao didn't take him seriously at all.
"My lord, Fengxiao, if Liu Zhang really wanted to embezzle Guanzhong, why didn't he ask for the post of governor of Yongzhou this time?"
"Why should he pretend to stop fighting and return to Yizhou?"
Xun Yu also walked to the side of the map and looked at the two of them doubtfully.
"Wen Ruo, this is Liu Zhang's treachery!"
The corners of Guo Jia's mouth raised slightly, revealing a sneer.
"Liu Zhang wanted to give the Xianbei people a situation where I would only guard and defend them, but he also wanted to give us a situation where we would ignore Xianbei in Guanzhong."
Xun Yu frowned slightly, still not understanding what Guo Jia meant.
"Then what is Liu Zhang's purpose?"
"Wen Ruo, just imagine, if Yuan Shao and the Xianbei people advance eastward at the same time, what will we do?"
Xun Yu blurted it out without even thinking about it.
"Hold on tight."
Facing two armies with more than 100,000 troops at the same time, is there any other way out besides sticking to the city?
If Cao Cao dares to leave the city for a decisive battle, he will inevitably be destroyed!
The Xianbei cavalry is not a decoration. Cao Jun is definitely no match for the Xianbei cavalry in field battles.
Guo Jia nodded. Even he was unable to do anything facing the two parties.
"This is Liu Zhang's purpose. He wants to muddy the waters of the Central Plains and make peace between us and Yuan Shao impossible. At the same time, he wants to use the hands of both of us to eliminate the Xianbei people!"
