When the undercover shadow guards who were monitoring the royalists' every move in Fuwan's mansion reported to Guo Jia the news that these guys were about to make an attack, the mansion of military advisor Guo Jia seemed extremely lively at this time.
It seems to be a coincidence. When the royalists were about to move, Yuan Shao's close subordinates also gathered here immediately, preparing to discuss how to deal with it. Although we are still not fully aware of every move of these royalists, we need to prepare for a rainy day when a storm is coming.
As a result, these direct descendants of the Yuan family who stayed in Yecheng gathered here in Guo Jia to prepare the next response in case of any eventuality.
Knowing that something big was bound to happen, because the entire Ye city was in a state of impending storm, Guo Jia naturally couldn't continue to pretend to be crazy or stupid, nor could he continue to pretend to be sick. He had to face this fact.
After everyone filed in, Guo Jia immediately let everyone enter the living room that had been prepared before, waiting for everyone to arrive to discuss important matters.
After Guo Jia sat down at the main seat, everyone also sat down one by one. He looked up and saw Zhen Yan, Mi Zhu, Cui Yan and other civil servants, as well as General Gao Lan, all seated. This is what Ye City is all about at this moment. Not one of Yuan Shao's confidants is missing.
Just after everyone was seated, before Guo Jia could say anything, Gao Lan, who had always been very calm, and the left-behind general, who was also very calm and collected, seemed very eager at the moment. Before anyone could speak, he couldn't help but speak first. road.
"The military advisor and all your lords clearly understand that the situation in Yecheng is very wrong now. Judging from the general's observation, something big is bound to happen. The Lord is returning from an expedition, and the troops in Yecheng are very insufficient at this moment. It is really very dangerous. . This makes the general very worried, please ask the military advisor and gentlemen to make a decision!"
Gao Lan's words are not alarmist, this is the situation in Yecheng at the moment. Yuan Shao led his army to conquer the north and compete with the barbarians. Although it was a great victory, it would still take time to return.
The original strength of the army left behind in Yecheng was pretty good. After all, this was the base camp of the entire Yuan family's territory. Naturally, it needed to be well managed, and it also needed to be paid more attention to. It must have been heavily defended.
But God is not as good as man, and accidents like this will always happen. Not to mention the previous battle with Cao Cao, Yecheng sent many generals and troops, which greatly reduced Yecheng's remaining strength.
Although Cao Cao was defeated in the end, our own side also suffered a lot of losses, including those supporting the front line. Either it was lost, or it was necessary to prepare for Cao Jun's counterattack and not act rashly. It means that you can't act rashly, and water from far away can't quench your thirst nearby.
In order to further weaken Yecheng's strength, these royalists also tried every means to reduce the entire defense force of Yecheng. Although they were discovered by Xun Yu and others, Yecheng suffered huge losses.
As the largest civil servant in Yecheng, and the one who entrusted military and state affairs to Yuan Shao before he left, Xun Yu was the head of Yuan Shao's subordinates. After the royalists moved out and Emperor Xian of Han Dynasty was moved out, Xun Yu had to leave Yecheng to stay away from this stormy country. place.
Even Guo Jia, the number two person left behind in Yecheng, had to pretend to be sick to escape such a disaster. Otherwise, he would definitely follow in Xun Yu's footsteps. At that time, Yecheng will really be leaderless.
Even now, Yecheng's defense has suddenly dropped to the extreme. The entire remaining army in Yecheng is only about 5,000 people, and they are still distributed in the four gates. The defense of the entire Yecheng is very empty. If there is any turmoil, it will be really difficult to rescue them.
It can be said to be an extremely dangerous situation, which is also a situation that Gao Lan is very worried about. As the highest military general and the only general on Yuan Shao's side in Yecheng, Gao Lan has an indescribable sense of nervousness. I don't know why, but he always felt that something big was going to happen, so he was the first to stand up, not only to remind everyone to pay attention, but also to hope for the analysis and opinions of everyone's counselors.
After hearing what Gao Lan said, everyone couldn't help but fell into deep thought. Combining what they felt and their own thoughts, they were ready to give Gao Lan an answer so that Gao Lan could rest assured.
Of course, Zhen Yan is excepted. It's not that he is not resourceful, but he clearly understands that he is not good at making suggestions. His own strength should be business, as for other things, he is not good at it. To be precise, he is somewhat good at it, but he is still not proficient.
"Besides, now that the world's top counselors are gathered here, why should I do whatever I want to do and humiliate myself!"
At this time, Zhen Yan looked at Guo Jia, who was always smiling, and felt very reassured.
"With Military Advisor Fengxiao here, everything will be fine. These should all be under the control of the Military Advisor. We just have to obey orders and act!"
Zhen Yan's idea cannot be said to be correct, but it is an extremely appropriate choice. After all, Guo Jia is well-known, so it can be considered a suitable choice.
But not everyone makes this choice, at least Cui Yan and Cui Jigui don't have the same idea. Although he knew that Guo Jia's strength and resourcefulness were superior to his, Cui Yan was still unwilling to give in and thought about competing with Guo Jia all the time to compete.
Naturally, now is no exception. After hearing what Gao Lan said, Cui Yan figured out the answer after a little thought. He looked up and saw that Guo Jia didn't speak. Cui Yan was naturally overjoyed, and when Guo Jia couldn't speak, he took the lead. Right.
"Haha, general, don't worry. All the situations in Yecheng are now under our control. In addition, with the army under the general's command and our assistance, we can expect nothing serious. General, don't worry, everything will be fine. , don’t worry!”
Cui Yan said these words with confidence and optimism. In his opinion, the entire Ye City was under their control, so there would be no surprises.
Mi Zhu also had the same idea as Cui Yan. He was still thinking at first, but after hearing Cui Yan's words, his heart suddenly moved, as if something had been triggered.
"Haha, yes, Mr. Ji Gui is right. Yecheng is still completely under our control and is very safe. Moreover, the lord is still on the way back and will be able to return to Yecheng soon. When the time comes, , Yecheng is even more impregnable and can be protected without worries!"
After telling his own reasons, Mi Zhu seemed extremely confident. He patted his chest and reassured Gao Lan, "General, please don't worry. These Zhu can guarantee that everything is under our control. General, you can Sit back and relax!"
It was rare to meet a like-minded person, so Cui Yan was naturally very proud. Before Gao Lan could speak, he answered again and echoed Mi Zhu's words in order to stick to his own opinion.
"Haha, Mr. Zizhong is right, and Yan has the same view. The city of Ye is now impregnable, so the general can rest assured. All this is within our plan and control, so the general does not have to worry!"
