Chapter 189
"You mean, your name is Guo Jia, Cao Cao plans to ally with the Lone King, and he wants to marry his daughter to the Lone King as a concubine?"
Looking at the thin figure opposite, Xiang Ji could only forcibly control his desire to go up and give him a halberd.
This is Guo Jia! This is Cao Cao's number one strategist! If he is directly put down, I am afraid that Cao Cao will be cut off by the rhythm of one arm!
But when he turned his head to look at Jia Xu and looked at the generals listed below, Xiang Ji could only control his desires.
If you really go up to it, I'm afraid that Lao Tzu's reputation will be completely stinky.
However, what does this mean? Forming an alliance? Marry a girl?
Thinking of this, Guo Jia, who was not paying attention to Xiang Ji, reflexively opened Cao Cao's letter and read it.
After some checking, Xiang Ji was happy.
This Cao Cao can really afford to put it down.
I was still in full swing with Lao Tzu before, and what did I do to ask the Chu Alliance to avenge Emperor Xian, why is this decisively softened now?
Yes, in the letter that was limited to Xiang Ji's viewing, Cao Cao put down his dignity and decisively admitted his mistake to Xiang Ji's service.
There is no way, the situation is stronger than people, and under the pressure brought by Yuan Shao, the previous ones no longer matter.
You must know that Yuan Shao, who is in Hebei, has more than 700,000 people in armor.
What is this concept?
Today, after continuous development and expansion, Cao Cao has only about 150,000 armored men under his command.
Although the Xiang nationality was established earlier, many of the corporals were injured in successive battles.
Now with the strength of the whole country, I am afraid that there are only more than 200,000 soldiers.
But you must know that the territory of Xiang Ji is not like Yuan Shao, who only needs to guard against foreign clans.
Whether it is Liu Biao in Jingzhou or the mountain foreigners in southern Fujian, this is an enemy that has to be guarded against.
Therefore, Xiang Ji is to be heavily guarded in Yangzhou.
At the very least, the Zhou Taishui Army, who is still cleaning up the remnants of Wu in Yangzhou, does not plan to be transferred back.
Even Shouchun's 20,000 infantry, Xiang Ji planned to add another 20,000 troops to be placed in Jianye, Wujun and other places to defend the mountains.
This removed nearly half of the soldiers and horses under Xiang Ji's command.
Now that Liu Bei has fled, Xiang Ji is one less enemy, but in the same way, after Liu Bei is gone, there is more Yuan Shao who is far stronger than him.
Therefore, in the face of Cao Cao's request for peace, Xiang Ji also couldn't ask for it in his heart.
Just kidding, if you still guard against Cao Cao when you start a war with Yuan Shao, I'm afraid that in the end, the two of them will let Yuan Shao be wiped out.
You know, this is not the battle of Guandu in history.
In history, at that time, Cao Cao's foreign enemies had been eliminated, and Xuzhou was in his hands, so he could rest assured that he would have a showdown with Yuan Shao.
But in the current situation, whether it is Cao Cao or Xiang Ji, in the case of being restrained by foreign enemies, I am afraid that no one can defeat Yuan Shao by relying on the strength of one family.
"Your lord's meaning is already known to the Lone King.
Mr. Guo Jia has worked hard from afar, so let's cultivate for the time being.
Waiting for Ming, the lonely king is replying to Mr.
Although Xiang Ji also agreed with Cao Cao's opinion on forming an alliance in his heart, after all, this is not a trivial matter, and he has to discuss it with Jia Xu to make a decision no matter what.
Looking at Guo Jia, who had retreated, Xiang Ji handed Cao Cao's letter to Jia Xu beside him.
"Mr. Wenhe, the meaning of the lonely king is also to join forces with this Cao Cao, only in this way can you fight with this Yuan Shao with peace of mind. "
Under the repeated battles, the Chu State has reached the critical point of war-weariness in terms of military morale and morale.
But there is no way, in the face of Yuan Shao's large-scale invasion, we can't sit idly by, right?
Therefore, Xiang Ji thinks that an alliance with Cao Cao is the only way out for the Chu army at present.
For the Chu army, which is currently strong and middle-class, only in this way can it seek a glimmer of life.
"Overlord, I don't have an opinion on the alliance.
And looking at Cao Cao's words, it does show the sincerity of his alliance.
It's just that I think that if the overlord really has the heart to form an alliance with that Cao Cao, it is better to go directly to that Yanzhou.
???
suddenly heard Jia Xu say this, and Xiang Ji was stunned.
Okay, let Lao Tzu and I go to Yanzhou to do what?
If there is no war in Qingzhou, then I will go.
But now the Chu army is confronting Anqiu with the general Wen Chou under Yuan Shao.
"Overlord, you can rest assured about the affairs of Qingzhou, that Wen is ugly, but there are brave and unscrupulous people, not to mention that our army has taken the lead in occupying the land of Anqiu, and there is no way to break into Yangdu by it.
The reason why Xu let the overlord go to Yanzhou was to help Cao Cao.
Now, Yuan Shao's main direction of attack is Yanzhou, but the overlord must not forget, his lips are cold.
If Cao Cao can't resist Yuan Shao, then when Yuan Shao destroys Cao Cao.
After sweeping Sizhou and Yanzhou, when he sent troops from Yanzhou to attack with the power of great victory, how could our army resist?"
Jia Xu was afraid that Cao Cao would not give it his strength, so he directly asked Yuan Shao to push it.
However, it is also worth noting, after all, history has changed.
Today's Cao Cao is far less powerful than Cao Cao during the Battle of Guandu in history.
If this Cao Cao is really destroyed by Yuan Shao, I'm afraid that I can't stop Lao Tzu myself.
When Xiang Ji heard that the number of soldiers under Yuan Shao's command had reached 700,000, he said that it was not a fake.
This Nima, 700,000 people! One person foams at the mouth, I am afraid that Du Te can drown a small county moat, how can this be fought?
Now, the army that Chu State can really take out to fight against Yuan Shao is afraid that it is less than 100,000 people.
If Yuan Shao attacks in two ways, I'm afraid he will really have to take care of one and lose the other.
At the very least, the defense in the direction where Xiang Ji is not must be unable to resist.
was reminded by Jia Xu like this, Xiang Ji also knew the importance of Cao Cao.
This product can now completely become my barrier.
"In this case, the lonely king will take the dragon and ride to Yanzhou to meet Cao Cao for a while. "
Since you want to help him, then naturally you have to bring some powerful troops.
As for the safety of Xiang Ji after he went to Yanzhou
? This is just a joke, Cao Cao is not stupid, what good can he do if he harms Xiang Ji at this time?
Not to mention whether he will be able to resist Yuan Shao independently after harming Xiang Ji.
It's this reputation problem, I'm afraid it's going to be left for 10,000 years.
What's more, if Xiang Ji was really killed in his Yanzhou, I am afraid that if Yuan Shao did not enter Yanzhou, the Chu army in Xuzhou would also have to be killed first.
Moreover, Xiang Ji, who is very confident in himself, is not afraid of him Cao Cao's heart.
Even if he really has bad intentions, Lao Tzu and I will ride with the dragon, who can stop me in this world?
This is the confidence of Xiang Ji to gallop the world.
