Three Kingdoms: I, the eldest son of Cao, a loving father of a great man!

Cao Ang's order reached Cao Cao's ears, and Cao Cao happily expressed that he would fully cooperate.

So the two armies began a tug-of-war, with both sides trying to figure out the best way to fight.

Cao Cao and Yuan Shu were preparing for battle, while Chen Gong hurried to Yecheng.

After Chen Gong arrived in Yecheng, he found Guo Jia who was reading a book.

Guo Jia raised his head, looked at Chen Gong and asked, "Gongtai, why did you come to see me?"

Chen Gong bowed his hands and said respectfully: "Fengxiao, the lord has summoned all the civil and military officials to discuss matters today, and has specifically asked me to participate.

This matter is strange, and I think I should report it to you."

"Oh? So, the lord is not satisfied with us?" Guo Jia asked calmly.

Chen Gong shook his head and said, "I don't think so. Although the lord seems to be strict, he has never been harsh on us.

I suspect that the Lord has other considerations, so he asked us to discuss it together, so that we would not misjudge the Lord's intentions."

Guo Jia smiled and said, "Gongtai, you are still so cautious."

Chen Gong said awkwardly: "I have to fulfill my duty, please forgive me."

“You’re right. We’ve been doing so well recently that many people have lost their minds.

The Lord is warning us this time. Gongtai, go down and prepare first, I will go later. "

Guo Jia understood Cao Ang's intention, and Cao Ang had to be fully prepared this time.

"Thank you very much. I'll take my leave now." Chen Gong left happily.

After Chen Gong left, Guo Jia's face became solemn.

What Chen Gong said just now was right. Cao Ang had been doing so smoothly during this period that even Guo Jia himself had forgotten about it.

If Cao Ang really hit them, they would be in trouble.

Guo Jia immediately asked Xun You and Xi Zhicai to come in to discuss the matter.

After listening to Guo Jia's narration, Xun You frowned and said, "Feng Xiao, do you think the Lord's move is directed at us or at Yuan Shao?"

"My lord, this is a warning to us. If it is the latter, my lord will be even more vigilant against us.

This is not a good thing for us." Guo Jia analyzed.

Xun You nodded and said, "Feng Xiao, according to your estimate, what will the Lord do next?"

"Yuan Benchu ​​will definitely not give up. If we follow the plan, he will definitely do something tricky.

I suggest that we strike first and take the initiative to capture Xuzhou in one fell swoop." Guo Jia suggested.

Xun You took a deep breath, Guo Jia’s words were right.

“It’s easy for Fengxiao to say, but where do we have so many troops?
Even if the civilians from Xuzhou were included, there were only 80,000 to 90,000 soldiers and horses.

Cao Cao has more than 300,000 soldiers under his command. Can we resist such a large force?"

Xun You said worriedly.

Guo Jia smiled and said, "Isn't there still Jizhou?"

"Fengxiao, what do you mean?" Xun You's eyes lit up.

"That's right. Taking advantage of the opportunity when Yuan Shao and Cao Cao are restraining each other, we will unite the forces of Jizhou to attack Jizhou!"

Guo Jia said firmly.

Xun You was overjoyed. This was a good opportunity to seize Jizhou in one fell swoop. The power of the Yuan family had been weakened a lot, and Jizhou was a piece of fat meat.

"Okay! Fengxiao will be responsible for communicating with Jizhou and strive to reach an agreement as soon as possible." Xun You agreed immediately.

Guo Jia and Xun You quickly arranged everything and asked Lu Bu to transfer 5,000 troops from Nanyang to support Guo Jia.

At this time, Guo Jia had already begun to reorganize his troops, and they were about to launch a surprise attack in Yanzhou.

There are 50,000 elite troops of Yuan Shao in Yanzhou, and these people are still very strong. However, Guo Jia only has more than 80,000 soldiers and horses, and it will take a lot of time to break through this defense line.

Guo Jia kept reminding himself that he must fight quickly and decisively and not delay any further.

Guo Jia led 5,000 soldiers and secretly approached Yuan Shao's camp, and then began to dig trenches in preparation for an ambush on Yuan Shao's reinforcements.

Guo Jia's actions could not be hidden from those who were interested, and Yuan Shao's scouts quickly delivered the news to Yuan Shao.

After Yuan Shao received the news, his face turned gloomy. This Guo Jia was too bold.

Guo Jia's actions made Yuan Shao a little scared.

Guo Jia has always been a very steady guy, and this action made Yuan Shao feel uneasy.

Yuan Shao immediately asked Zhang Zhao and Feng Ji to deduce what Guo Jia wanted to do.

After calculations, Zhang Zhao and Feng Ji both thought that Guo Jia was bluffing.

Because Guo Jia had only a few soldiers under his command, just over 80,000, to break into their camp, he would need at least four times the enemy's strength, otherwise it would be impossible.

Yuan Shao also breathed a sigh of relief. Guo Jia was trying to scare him. Yuan Shao snorted coldly.

"Guo Fengxiao is so bold. I will never let him go.

Order the soldiers to be on alert, and if Guo Jia's troops show up, kill them mercilessly."

Zhang Zhao and Feng Ji tried to dissuade Yuan Shao, but Yuan Shao was determined to kill Guo Jia.

Yuan Shao thought that Guo Jia's actions were nothing more than an attempt to scare him.

Yuan Shao felt that Guo Jia's troops were too few and could not pose any threat to his camp.

Yuan Shao's troops quickly prepared for battle, ready to annihilate Guo Jia's troops at any time.

When Guo Jia saw Yuan Shao's reaction, a smile appeared on his face.

He had already guessed Yuan Shao's reaction.

"Guo Jia, you want to ambush us? No way!" Yuan Tan said angrily after seeing Guo Jia's actions.

Guo Jia laughed and said, "Yuan Tan, do you think I want to ambush you?

You see, the hill ahead is where I'm lying in wait. I've set up a trap.

If you rush forward, you will trigger the trap. Then my troops will rush out and kill you all."

Yuan Tan saw a hill not far ahead. Yuan Tan knew Guo Jia had a brilliant plan, but he didn't expect Guo Jia to ambush them in the wild.

"Haha, Guo Jia, Guo Jia, I admit that you are very powerful. It's a pity that your plan failed. I should have prevented you from doing this a long time ago." Yuan Tan said arrogantly.

Yuan Tan's words caused others to laugh and mock Guo Jia.

Yuan Tan continued, "Guo Jia, you have too few soldiers and horses, how can you fight us?

We have an army of more than 300,000, and you only have 80,000 troops. You want to ambush us? It's really a pipe dream.

If you know what's good for you, surrender now."

"Yuan Tan, since you are still stubborn, don't blame us for being rude. Kill you!" Guo Jia shouted coldly.

The troops led by Guo Jia attacked Yuan Tan.

Yuan Shao was horrified and shouted, "Stop the enemy! Whoever can capture Guo Jia alive will be rewarded with a thousand gold coins!"

Yuan Shao also fought desperately and engaged in a bloody battle with Guo Jia.

The two armies fought fiercely, and Guo Jia sent archers to shoot continuously.

Yuan Tan and his generals dodged in a hurry. They didn't expect Guo Jia to dare to play like this.

The casualties of the archers continued to increase, and Yuan Shao's side suffered heavy casualties. (End of this chapter)
