By the time Yecheng received the urgent documents from Xu Huang and others, it was already late at night three days later. After knowing that Cao Cao's army had captured Baima and Yanjin, they were now approaching Guandu and had invaded Jizhou!
After learning such bad news, Xun Yu ignored the late night and asked Dian Wei to greet the civil servants and generals left behind in Jizhou, and hurried to his residence to discuss countermeasures. In order to block the news, Xun Yu specifically told Dian Wei not to make any announcement and quietly invited Guo Jia and the others. Just say that you are going to discuss the defense of Yecheng with them. Don't disturb other people, and don't make the whole city angry!
Although Dian Wei was a bit imbecile, he was not stupid. He knew the seriousness of the matter and understood it all without Xun Yu's reminder. He nodded to Xun Yu, indicating that he received it, I understand!
After Dianwei found Guo Jia and the others, another hour passed. After everyone arrived, before Xun Yu could say anything, Cui Yan asked anxiously, "I don't know why the military advisor came to see us late at night. Has there been any change on the front line?"
If you are anxiously discussing things with everyone late at night, something big must have happened, otherwise it would definitely not be like this. Everyone here is smart, no one is stupid. As soon as I saw this situation, I knew something was wrong. So when Cui Yan asked this question, he was a little worried about the war on the front line!
Hearing Cui Yan's question and seeing the looks from everyone, Xun Yu stopped hiding it and nodded, then he raised the urgent document sent by Xu Huang and said to everyone, "Ji Gui is right. Something happened on the front line. This was an urgent document from General Gongming. They reported that Cao Cao, with an army of 300,000, had captured Baima and Yanjin Ferry, and had now set up camp in Guandu, waiting for the war. We have a decisive battle!"
What, Cao Cao has already arrived at Guandu, so fast. Before we could react, we had captured two cities and also occupied Guandu. We have completely gained the initiative on the battlefield and put our imperial army at a disadvantage. What can we do!
Thinking of this, Chen Lin asked worriedly, "Now Cao Cao's army is approaching, and my lord has not returned from the expedition. The enemy has 300,000 troops, but we only have 400,000 troops, and we have to garrison Yecheng. We have no advantage at all in terms of strength." Yes. How to deal with this, this really worries me!"
"Haha, don't worry about Kong Zhang. The soldiers will stop you, and the water will cover you up. I believe that our acting prime minister Xun Wenruo must have already had countermeasures, otherwise he would not have called us for a meeting late at night!" Hearing Chen Lin's worries, Guo Jia smiled disapprovingly and spoke to comfort Chen Lin, including the officials in Yecheng who were worried about this!
Guo Jia had already thought about Cao Cao's army approaching Guandu, and knew all about it through the shadow guards. There is nothing we can do about this. Our army is not strong enough, otherwise Cao Jun would not be able to cross the Yellow River!
If they are strong enough and have enough soldiers and horses, they will definitely take control of Baima and Yanjin Ferry, making Cao Cao sigh in admiration at the sight of the river. But now the strength is not strong, there is only a mere 400,000 troops, and they still need more training. This will definitely not be Cao Cao's opponent. There is no meaning other than giving him a death!
Therefore, Guo Jia and Xun Yu discussed a countermeasure, which was to abandon strategic locations such as Baima and Yanjin to lure the enemy deeper. Let Cao Cao go deep into the hinterland of Jizhou, that is, to the Guandu area, and then raise a large army from Yecheng to fight them there. He did not seek to repel the enemy's attack, but only hoped to slow down Cao's attack. After the lord defeats Xianbei, and then uses his troops to cover up the enemy, he will win a complete victory! The fastest updated Qiqi /
The two of them had written in handwriting and asked Yuan Fang to report this strategy to their lord, but the civil and military forces left behind in Yecheng did not know about it. Now that I heard Chen Lin's worries, I saw that everyone also looked worried. Guo Jia smiled and encouraged everyone!
After hearing what Guo Jia said, everyone felt relieved. Since Xun Yu didn't refute what Guo Jia said, it seemed that he already had a countermeasure. We just follow Mr. Xun Yu’s command and follow his arrangements! Qiqi's first release on the entire network
"I am willing to listen to Mr. Wen Ruo's arrangements, please give the order!" After receiving a satisfactory answer, Cui Yan and Chen Lin looked at each other, both satisfied, and responded a little excitedly.
"We are all willing to follow the orders of Military Advisor Xun Yu. Sir, please give the order quickly to avoid long nights and many dreams!"
"The general will obey the military advisor's arrangements and will go through fire and water without hesitation!"
Seeing that Cui Yan and Chen Lin had expressed their stance, other civil and military officers from Yecheng who stayed behind also followed suit. They all requested orders one after another and followed Xun Yu's arrangements. Only the military advisor followed his lead!
Seeing that everyone had unified their opinions, Xun Yu gave Guo Jia a thumbs-up without leaving any trace. Then he realized that the matter was a bit serious, so he followed the countermeasures discussed with Guo Jia and began to exercise his rights and authority as the commander-in-chief of Yecheng. It’s an obligation!
So, Xun Yu cleared his throat and ordered to the civil servants and generals who were left behind, "The military situation is urgent. My lord allows me to do it cheaply, so I won't be polite. Please listen to my order and help me defeat the enemy. Let's guard Jizhou together. Complete the mission of the main bus agent!"
"It's the military advisor. We will only obey the military advisor's orders!" After hearing what Xun Yu said, everyone except Guo Jia agreed with a solemn expression.
The performance of everyone made Xun Yu nodded with satisfaction and said, "But I'm the first to say ugly things. If anyone disobeys orders and causes losses to the lord's great cause, don't blame me for not caring about my colleagues. I hope you will It’s so easy to take care of yourself!”
"Please rest assured, military advisor, we understand, don't you dare disobey your orders!" After hearing Xun Yu's reminder, everyone naturally understood the importance of Jizhou and Yecheng, and assured them with understanding.
"Instruct Gao Lan to stay in Yecheng and be responsible for the security and defense of the base camp. I and your 50,000 troops, general, please be careful and ensure the absolute safety of Yecheng!"
"Please rest assured, military advisor, Gao Lan understands and will guard Yecheng well!" Seeing that Xun Yu trusted him very much and entrusted him with the important task of staying in Yecheng, Gao Lan stood up and said without hesitation.
Xun Yu was very satisfied and relieved about Gao Lan. He was relieved to leave the defense of Yecheng to him. After Gao Lan received the order, Xun Yu continued, "Let Zhen Yan, Mi Zhu, and Chen Lin be responsible for the food and fodder of all the troops going out, as well as the safety of your majesty and the lord's family. Please take care of yourself and don't take it lightly." . You must know that the life and death of the frontline troops are in your hands!"
After hearing Xun Yu's instructions, Zhen Yan and the others did not dare to neglect, and immediately expressed their stance, "Please rest assured, military advisor, we will definitely complete the mission, fully support the front line, and ensure that the army has adequate food and grass!"
After receiving a positive answer, Xun Yu finally continued to order to Dian Wei and others who were a little impatient, "Let the two generals Dian Wei and Gao Shun lead an army of 250,000, and I, Feng Xiao and Ji Gui, go to meet for a while. Cao Mengde!"
"It's the military advisor. We obey your orders!" After hearing Xun Yu's final instructions, everyone agreed, especially Dian Wei's voice, which was the loudest and loudest.
The order was certain, and seeing that the military situation was urgent, Xun Yu stopped delaying, and the purpose of gathering everyone today was accomplished. So he ordered them to go down, and the army gathered tightly, set off overnight, and went straight to the Guandu front line to show off with Cao Cao!
Everyone took the order and went their separate ways. After the army was assembled and tidied up, it was already dawn. So Xun Yu, Guo Jia, Cui Yan, plus the two generals Dian Wei and Gao Shun said goodbye to Zhen Yan and the others, and officially set off on the road to a decisive battle with Cao Cao's army. A battle between dragons and tigers was about to begin!
