"Fengxiao, are the Huns fools? Are they willing to be led by Liu Zhang?"
"Is Yuan Shao a fool? Will he let Liu Zhang manipulate him?"
Xun Yu still felt that Guo Jia's idea was too far-fetched and seemed a bit wishful thinking.
"No!"
Cao Cao, who had been silent for a long time, spoke up and stood firmly on Guo Jia's side.
"Wen Ruo, I don't know about the Xianbei people, but once Yuan Shao learns that the Xianbei people are attacking Yanzhou, he will definitely not miss such a good opportunity!"
The battle at Guandu can be said to have embarrassed Yuan Shao!
Cao Cao thought with his toes and could guess how much Yuan Shao hated him at this moment!
Not to mention taking advantage of the situation, I am afraid that Yuan Shao would give up some interests and join forces with the Xianbei people to deal with him.
"Fengxiao, how can Liu Zhang ensure that the Xianbei people will march eastward?"
Cao Cao could guess Yuan Shao's movements, but he could not see how Liu Zhang ensured that the Xianbei people would definitely advance eastward.
After all, after advancing eastward, the land in Guanzhong will no longer be owned by the Xianbei people.
No matter how stupid the Xianbei people are, it will be difficult for them to put themselves to death easily.
After all, retreating from Xiaoguan back to the desert is a safe way.
"Lord, look at this."
Cao Cao looked in the direction of Guo Jia's finger and showed doubts again.
"Qi County?"
Qixian County is a very ordinary, mediocre city, so ordinary that no stories have happened since its establishment in the Qin Dynasty.
But it is such an ordinary city, but it has a unique geographical location.
Qixian County is located at the junction of Beidi County, Anding County and Zuofengling County. The city is built on the bank of Jingshui River and is the only way from Guanzhong to Anding County.
At the same time, if you want to go from Chang'an to Xiaoguan, Qixian County is also a city that cannot be bypassed no matter what.
"My lord, Liu Zhang's intentions are extremely vicious! He not only wants to gain control of Guanzhong without any bloodshed, but he also wants to drive the Xianbei people to harm us."
"Therefore, I conclude that there are at least tens of thousands of Yizhou troops stationed in Qixian County at this time, and Liu Zhang is very likely to be in Qixian County!"
After listening to Guo Jia's analysis, Cao Cao quickly looked at the map again, and then he suddenly understood.
There are tens of thousands of Yizhou troops stationed on the Chencang and Shanggui lines. There is no need to worry about being attacked by the Xianbei in the direction of Liangzhou and Hanzhong.
If the street pavilion was guarded tightly, the Xianbei people could come and go freely, and Liu Zhang would have no control over the situation.
But if the army is stationed in Qixian, the road from Chang'an to Xiaoguan will be cut off, and the Xianbei people will have no way to return to the desert!
According to Liu Zhang's character, he would definitely build fortifications and rely on the strength of the strong city to hold him back, and would not engage in direct confrontation with the Xianbei people.
The Xianbei people were at a loss of ground and had no food. How could they survive except marching eastward to the Central Plains to plunder?
"Damn Liu Jiyu! I have never offended him, but he wants to put me to death!"
Cao Cao boasted that he did not have any enemies with Liu Zhang. Even when the people of Guanzhong were relocated last year, Cao Cao did not interfere too much.
I didn't expect that Liu Zhang would turn against him and be ruthless, and he would kill him as soon as he made a move!
"My lord, I heard that Yuan Shao and Liu Zhang are at odds with each other. My lord was on good terms with Yuan Shao at that time. Did he really not offend Liu Zhang?"
Guo Jia looked at Cao Cao suspiciously, not quite believing that there was really no quarrel between Liu Zhang and Cao Cao.
Liu Zhang not only has an undying feud with Yuan Shao, but also has irresolvable grievances with the entire Yuan family.
If it hadn't been for Liu Zhang, Yuan Feng would not have been dismissed from office without reason.
The hatred between Liu Zhang and the Yuan family is so deep that no one in the world knows it!
A few years ago, Yuan Shao organized several armies to attack Yizhou because of personal grudges.
Yuan Shao wanted to kill Liu Zhang every moment, so why would Liu Zhang want Yuan Shao to have a better life?
I am afraid that I am always looking forward to Yuan Shao's destruction!
Not to mention, in the Battle of Guandu half a year ago, Cao Cao vented his anger on Liu Zhang!
Liu Zhang is so smart, can't he see that Yuan Shao's power is deeply rooted and Cao Cao is still unable to compete?
Anyone with a little discernment can see that Yuan Shao will definitely make a comeback. Could Liu Zhang not see it?
Cao Cao is already at a disadvantage. He needs to use all his strength to fight Yuan Shao alone. How can he divide his troops to deal with 200,000 Xianbei cavalry!
Liu Zhang's move was tantamount to asking the Xianbei people to help Yuan Shao destroy Cao Cao.
If there was no quarrel between Cao Cao and Liu Zhang, how could the latter do such a thing that would cause pain to his relatives and pleasure to his enemies?
"Fengxiao, this Sikong really doesn't have any!"
Cao Cao was also aggrieved. He really had never provoked Liu Zhang.
From the moment I met Liu Zhang, he was known as the Hou General.
I am just a small cavalry officer, how dare I offend Liu Zhang, one of the generals from all over the world?
This empress general is still a member of the Han clan!
He personally put down the Yellow Turban Rebellion and won the emperor's trust.
How many brains did Cao Cao have to dare to provoke Liu Zhang?
"Hey! Every time I am caught between Yuan Shao and Liu Zhang, I deal with it carefully and with great difficulty, for fear of offending them both!"
Cao Cao felt bitter in his heart. He did not have the family background of the Fourth Generation and the Three Dukes, nor did he have such outstanding abilities and opportunities as Liu Zhang. Everything had to depend on him.
However, Cao Cao, who was born as a eunuch, was despised by the upper class.
"Lord, in this case, there is no reason for Liu Zhang to put the lord to death."
"Remember what I said to my lord before? If we win the war, we can only gradually eat away at Yuan Shao due to insufficient military strength. But once Yuan Shao wins, we will be in danger of being destroyed immediately!"
"Based on both emotions and reasons, I believe Liu Zhang doesn't want to see Yuan Shao gain power, let alone face Yuan Shao who has all of Hebei and the Central Plains under his control!"
Guo Jia is very confident and firmly believes in his ideas.
Liu Zhang was a man of resourcefulness, and he had so many extremely smart people under his command.
Even if Liu Zhang was confused for a moment, could all his advisers be confused?
"My lord, I also think that Feng Xiao's analysis is reasonable! My nephew, that is to say, Xun You, has a unique vision and will never sit back and watch Yuan Shao occupy the Central Plains!"
Xun Yu also stood up and expressed his approval of Guo Jia's insights.
As a strategist, he naturally knew the huge difference between Cao Cao and Yuan Shao's confrontation and Yuan Shao's domination of the Central Plains and Hebei.
Since Liu Zhang was willing to go to Yizhou but could bear not to attack the divided Jingzhou, he must be a very strategically powerful person.
After receiving successive affirmations from his two chief advisers, Cao Cao also cheered up a little.
"Hey! Sun Wu once said, 'Water has no constant power, soldiers have no constant shape, people have no constant status, and things have no routine'! Now it seems that it is indeed the case!"
"Just now we were thinking of using the Xianbei people to resist Liu Zhang. Now that we are so good at it, we have to expect Liu Zhang to help us deal with the Xianbei people..."
Cao Cao sighed, still feeling helpless in his heart.
I thought that I was in control of several states in the Central Plains, and after defeating Yuan Shao in Guandu, I was not afraid of any threats!
But when I saw him today, he was still far from it!
At least if Liu Zhang is willing, he can bring him a crisis of destruction later.
