    That night, Cao Cao led his army with slightly improved morale and retreated to Shunyang City.

    It was already dark, but the lights in Cao Cao's central army tent were still brightly lit.  .

    When Cao Cao returned to the army, he could not sleep all night. He summoned all the civil and military officials to discuss matters in the tent and discussed how to use the troops all night long.

    "It is better to fight decisively in Shunyang. I will believe that with the elite of our army, we will definitely win in a head-on battle."

    The person who spoke generously was none other than General Le Jin, who was good at charging into battle.

    As soon as these words came out, those generals who were known for their bravery all expressed their willingness to fight to the death to defeat the enemy.

    Cao Cao smiled and shook his head, "I am very pleased with your courage, but don't forget the original intention of our army to march into Nanyang this time."

    ? Original intention?

    The enraged generals fell into silence and soon came to their senses.

    They worked hard and traveled a long distance to Nanyang, just to take advantage of Yuan Tan and Yan Liang's fight to reap the benefits.

    "If we were to fight Yan Liang head-on, even if we won, it would be a tragic victory. At such a price, the one who really benefits from it would be Yuan Tan.

    "In the battle of Nanyang, the competition is not about bravery, but wisdom. Our army must obtain the maximum benefit with the minimum sacrifice."

    Guo Jia gave a clear definition to this confrontation with a single word.

    Cao Cao nodded slightly, taking Guo Jia's words seriously.

    The excited blood of the generals was immediately suppressed, and everyone's thoughts were spinning, but there was nothing they could do.

    "Fengxiao, do you have any good ideas?"

    Cao Cao once again turned his attention to Guo Jia. Although Guo Jia's plan was once seen through by Yan Liang, this still could not change Cao Cao's trust in this resourceful man.

    Guo Jia stood up, his slightly tired eyes scanning the map over and over again, but he did not speak for a long time.

    His brows were deeply knitted together, and he was obviously thinking deeply.

    In the past, Guo Jia had strong confidence in his own strategies, and his mind was as quick as his, and he could come up with a clever plan in just a moment.

    But now it¡¯s different. He has met Yan Liang, a figure who has repeatedly cracked his plans and hurt his dignity.

    Facing such a powerful tycoon, facing top strategists like Jia Xu who were once colleagues and knew him very well, Guo Jia must be cautious.

    After thinking for a long time, Guo Jia raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and a confident smile appeared on his face again.

    "Fengxiao, whatever is on your mind, just say it." Cao Cao knew Guo Jia deeply, and he knew from his expression that he had a clever plan.

    Guo Jia pointed at the map and said: "Now that the ambush plan has failed, and it is unrealistic to move south to Xiangyang, Jia believes that we should adjust our strategy in time and refocus our attack on Wancheng."

    The word "Wancheng" made everyone present look slightly shocked, and their eyes glanced at the map in unison.

    Cao Cao stroked his beard and thought deeply for a while, then nodded and said: "What Fengxiao said is absolutely true. Wancheng is the core of Nanyang. Now the ambush plan is defeated. Only by attacking Wancheng eastward can we make better use of Yuan Tan's chess piece.  Let Yan Liang's head and tail not care about each other."

    Seeing Cao Cao's approval, Guo Jia continued: "If you want to attack Wancheng, you must first capture Li County. Now that Yan Liang's army has gathered in Champion City and wants to compete with our army for Shunyang, Li County will be empty at this time. With Jia's plan,  Why didn't the Prime Minister make a big splash, pretend to be the champion, and engage in a decisive battle with Yan Liang? He secretly sent a good general with more than a thousand light cavalry to seize Li County before Yan Liang was alerted. In this way, the initiative of the attack was regained.  into the hands of our army.¡±

    ????????????????????????????To sum up, it is another plan to attack the east and attack the west.

    It may seem simple, but the art of war relies on adaptability. Guo Jianeng can change his thinking overnight. This kind of resourcefulness is extraordinary.

    Cao Cao weighed it for a long time, nodded heavily, and agreed to Guo Jia's strategy.

    Then he looked around at the generals and asked, "The prime minister is determined to attack Wancheng. Who among you is willing to lead the light cavalry to rob Li County?"

    As soon as he finished speaking, a general from the tent came out and said with emotion, "The last general is willing to lead his army to capture Li County for the Prime Minister."

    Cao Cao went to look for prestige, but saw that the person asking for a fight was none other than Zhang Liao.

    Although Zhang Liao was Lu Bu's old general, he was brave and resourceful. After entering Cao Cao's camp, he won Cao Cao's trust.

    Now on the surface Cao Cao is asking the generals, but in fact he has long regarded Zhang Liao as the best candidate. Now that he sees Zhang Liao taking the initiative to ask for orders, he is secretly happy.

    At that moment, Cao Cao said happily: "Wen Yuan has such a brave idea, which really makes me happy. Okay, I will give you one thousand five hundred Qingqi."??You set off at starry night to seize Li County, and I will lead an army to meet you later.  "

    "The last general will live up to the trust of the Prime Minister." Zhang Liao bowed his hands and led his troops away with emotion.

    After leaving Zhang Liao, Cao Cao's eyes once again rested on Li County on the map, and a sneer quietly appeared on the corner of his short-bearded mouth.

    Champion City.

    Yan Liang rescued Wen Chou, led thousands of his riders, and safely retreated to the Champion City thirty miles away.

    Although seven to eight hundred cavalry were lost in this battle, it was regarded as the heaviest loss for Yan Liang's Shenxing Cavalry since its formation.

    " However, Yan Liang's gains were enough to offset this loss.

    Although his cavalry was lost, Cao Cao's infantry losses were at least two thousand. And most importantly, Yan Liang successfully defeated Cao Cao's plot, shocked Cao Cao's camp, and greatly damaged his morale.  The harvest is far greater than the damage caused to enemy soldiers.

    The next day, Huang Zhong led more than two infantry troops to Champion City, while the remaining more than 10,000 infantry troops led by Lu Lingqi and Zhang He had also left Wancheng and were on their way to Champion City.

    In the central military tent, Yan Liang summoned Huang Zhong and others who had come after a long journey, and told everyone about the situation of the Shunyang battle.

    After everyone heard that Cao Cao attacked Xiangyang openly but secretly set up an ambush for seduction, they were all filled with emotion.

    "Although Cao Mengde is very strategic, he may not have come up with these strategies. In my opinion, these are probably Guo Jia's suggestions."

    Even Jia Xu couldn¡¯t help but sigh.

    "Guo Jia" Yan Liang frowned secretly.

    ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????Zhuge Liang, a man with extraordinary resourcefulness, helped Liu Qi obstruct it, it really gave Yan Liang a headache.

    Now, Cao Cao has another Guo Jia who is as resourceful as Zhuge. It seems that this battle with Cao Cao will be a tough one.

    Though he was thinking secretly in his heart, Yan Liang showed disapproval on his face and sneered, "Prime Minister Cao has Guo Jia, and I have you Jia Wenhe. We are equally matched, so what's the point of fear?"

    Yan Liang praised Jia Xu, and naturally forced the old fox to do his best.

    Now Xu Shu is fighting against Yuan Tan in Kunyang, and although Tian Feng is resourceful, his wisdom lies in his analysis of the general trend. In fact, when the tactics of the battle change and he has insight into the enemy's mind, it is not his strength.

    But Jia Xu is different. This old fox has a talent for grasping people's hearts that others cannot match. In this regard, he is somewhat similar to Guo Jia.

    In Yan Liang¡¯s opinion, using Jia Xu to deal with Guo Jia was a perfect match.

    Jia Xu gave Yan Liang such a compliment, and a little pride flashed across his old face.

    When Yan Liang saw this, he smiled secretly in his heart and took advantage of the situation and said: "Wen He, if we talk about plots and changes, who among us here is better than you? In your opinion, how can our army repel this powerful enemy like Cao Cao?"

    Jia Xu secretly complained, and then realized that Yan Liang's flattery just now was just a trap for him.

    In desperation, Jia Xu could only smile bitterly and said: "The current situation has changed too fast, my lord, let me think about it for a while."

    "If you think about it slowly, you won't be in a hurry."

    Yan Liang felt relaxed, resting his legs on the table and sipping some tea.

    Although he looked relaxed on the surface, secretly his eyes were like Jia Xu's, moving up and down on the big map hanging on the side, examining the current situation in Nanyang.

    From Wuguan to the east, along the route of Xixian, Lixian and Wancheng, Xixian has been captured by Cao's army.

    On the southward route, although Nanxiang and Shunyang City were in Cao Cao's hands, Yan Liang's army had already reached Champion City and could launch an attack on Shunyang at any time. Therefore, Cao Cao actually posed no threat to Xiangyang.

    "Cao Cao, what exactly do you want to do next"

    While Yan Liang's thoughts were swirling, Jia Xu's bitter face suddenly showed a bit of a sly smile.

    "Wen He, do you have a plan in mind?" Yan Liang asked immediately.

    Jia Xu coughed a few times and said with a smile: "I am old and incompetent, but I do have a plan. Although it is not a clever plan, I can still give it a try in this stalemate situation."

    This old fox really has something in his belly.

    "Tell me." Yan Liang asked simply.

    Jia Xu then drew the map and said slowly: "Cao Cao set up an ambush in Shunyang with tens of thousands of people. It shows that he is determined to win this battle. If so, I am wondering whether Cao Cao's army at Wuguan will be better."  Weak, if so, it gives us an opportunity to take advantage of.¡±

      Yan Liang followed Jia Xu's pointing and moved his eyes towards Wuguan. A little excitement gradually appeared in his blade-like eyes.

    "Wenhe, what you mean is that you want me to pretend to attack Shunyang, but secretly send a group of troops to march directly to Wuguan, so that Prime Minister Cao can be shut down and beat the dog."

    Yan Liang is so shrewd that he can immediately see through Jia Xu's thoughts.

    "Ahem, that's pretty much what it means, but Prime Minister Cao is not a dog, but a tiger. This strategy can only be called closing the door to kill the tiger." Jia Xu said with a smile.

    No matter you are a dog or a tiger, this strategy is enough to make Yan Liang excited.

    "Aren't you Cao Cao insidious? Very good. I will be more cruel and sinister than you. I will take away your martial arts pass and cut off your connection with Guanzhong. I will try to catch a turtle in a jar and see how you can turn things around."

    Yan Liang nodded slightly, obviously agreeing with Jia Xu's strategy.

    At this time, Jia Xu pointed at the map again and continued: "If you want to capture Wuguan, you must first attack Li and Analyze counties. Although Analytical County is currently in Cao Cao's hands, it is not expected that there will be many troops. The current  The key is to quickly send an army to Li County, quickly capture Ji County, and then go straight to Wuguan."

    The excitement on Yan Liang's face became more and more intense, and he nodded and said: "Very good, let's do it like this. It happened that Lingqi and Junyi still had 10,000 infantry troops yet to arrive, so I immediately ordered them to turn back north and go to Li County instead.  , to capture Wuguan."

    Jia Xu smiled and said nothing to show his approval of Yan Liang's use of troops.

    At that moment, Yan Liang issued a military order and ordered the scouts to rush away to convey Yan Liang's latest order to Lu Lingqi.

    Immediately afterwards, Yan Liang sent an order to the generals, causing the camps to stir up troubles, claiming that they would launch a large-scale attack on Shunyang and fight to the death with Cao Jun.

    The generals took orders and left one after another.

    Yan Liang stood in front of the map with his hands behind his back, his eyes lingering on the word Li County for a long time.
