: Face and detachment

Guo Tu's defense is obviously pale and powerless.15\\

Will Yuan Shao bow his head to Cao cào?

If Yuan Shao had no 400,000 troops, and there were no territories of Jizhou, Qingzhou, Youzhou, and Bingzhou, then he was humble and was reasonable to let Cao cào's orders. After all, his strength was limited and he had to compromise.[]

But if Yuan Shao could be domineering by Cao cào, then he would have really let down his ancestors and his ancestors give him the capital of the four generations and three ministers.

Guo Tu can be ignored in the first half of the words, but the second half of the words sounds kind-hearted, but it contains Yuan Shao's ambition to merge and surrender Guo Jia.

Guo Jia's expression changed, and his angry face smiled calmly again.

This change did not make Guo Tu's nerves relaxed, but instead became even more nervous.

"Guo Tu, let me ask you, can I defect to your lord now?"

Guo Jia returned to the table, sat down and asked softly.

The tense atmosphere instantly dissipated.

When Guo Tu heard this, he was speechless.

Yuan Shao only thought about surrendering Guo Jia, but he never thought about the current situation. How could Guo Jia surrender?

The name of this battle was that the emperor issued an edict to ask Guo Jia to return to Yizhou and Zhong Yao came to guard Guanzhong.

If Guo Jia surrenders Yuan Shao, who will fall into Guanzhong? As long as Zhong Yao is not here to guard the order, it will be disrespectful.

Not only Guo Jia resisted the order, Yuan Shao also resisted the order, and was even charged with the crime of indiscriminate plot.

Yuan Shao respects fame. Do he dare to do such an open and rebellious act?

Before he could truly break up with Cao cào's life-and-death struggle, did Yuan Shao dare to blatantly oppose the Emperor of Han?

The key is whether Yuan Shao is ready to fight Cao cào?

Guo Tu remained silent and fell into deep thought.

It seems that it is not comprehensive.

If Yuan Shao was determined to fight to the death with Cao, then now that Guo Jia is surrendered, Yuan Shao can betray the alliance with Cao at the risk of being despised by the world, and hurt Cao Cao with a surprise blow, or even directly destroy Cao Cao.

But Yuan Shao finally had a childhood friendship with Cao cào. ​​Before he turned against him, he had to persuade him to surrender first, and he would be courtesy before the soldiers.

Yuan Benchu, who was so powerful, thought at least five points in his heart that he was strong and powerful, and his sword was invincible. Whether it was Guo Jia or Cao Cào, he could surrender if he could surrender. After all, he was powerful and had the confidence to surrender the princes.

Since Yuan Shao has led his troops to Luoyang, the battle cannot be fought without fighting. The main question is who to fight.

As long as Yuan Shao hesitates, Guo Jia has an opportunity to take advantage of it.

Just as Guo Tu was thinking about a compromise, Xu Shu, who had been watching silently, spoke.

"Mr. Guo, I'm so bluntly saying that my lord will withdraw his troops back to Yizhou today and hand over Guanzhong. May I ask, Zhong Yao comes to guard Guanzhong, so what is the benefit of your lord?"

Guo Tu was shocked.

In fact, no one of Guo Tu, Yuan Shao and other strategists who served Yuan Shao had ever thought that Guo Jia would surrender or retreat.

How could Guo Jia, who finally defeated Guanzhong, be able to get the words

Spit it out?

But what if Guo Jia really retreated and returned to Yizhou.

Yuan Shaoxing's troops mobilized all the troops to come. Should he return without success? The emperor's decree was that Zhong Yao was to guard Guanzhong. Since Yuan Shao sent Guo Tu to pronounce the edict, how could he go back on his word?

They expected that Guo Jia would definitely not return to Yizhou. From Yuan Shao's perspective, war was inevitable.

When Guo Jia surrendered to him, he beat Cao cào.

If Guo Jia doesn't surrender, he will beat Guo Jia.

Guo Tu was speechless, but he stopped talking.

He can't persuade Guo Jia not to retreat, right?

He came to announce the edict, which was to ask Guo Jia to retreat. Would he want to slap himself in the face?

"I am a hero in the world who is wise and brave. Is it better to work hard with my lord and work hard to help the world?"

Guo Tu only has one way to go, which is to persuade Guo Jia to surrender to Yuan Shao.

He looked at Guo Jia, but Guo Jia smiled casually, smiling without saying a word.

Xu Shu, who was standing next to Guo Tu, continued to speak.

"I wonder if my lord will immediately stop after my lord has compiled a letter to your lord?"

Guo Tu did not speak out to let Guo Jia surrender, and he was kind to the words, and everyone tacitly understood the profound meanings contained in it.

Xu Shu pretended to be confused and started to figure it out.

It is very easy to ask Guo Jia to bow his head to Yuan Shao.

Guo Tu frowned and thought hard.

It is impossible to let Yuan Shao retreat without fighting.

But Guo Jia's attitude is ambiguous. Guo Tu only knows that Guo Jia is angry with Cao cào, but he doesn't know whether Guo Jia is willing to surrender to Yuan Shao.

Submission to Yuan Shao means helping Yuan Shao to purge the Central Plains next.

"Mr. Guo, if you don't even know what your lord means, then how can I make my lord make a decision? In the following, your lord suffered a great loss when he sent troops to Luoyang this time."

Xu Shu said gently.

He turned his head suspiciously to Xu Shu. Guo Tu didn't ask the other party's name and asked bluntly: "What do you mean by this?"

Yuan Shao is indeed swaying, but he is also judging from the changes in the current situation.

If Guo Tu gets the information that Guo Jia fights to the end today, then Guo Tu will immediately instigate Yuan Shao to start a war when he returns to Luoyang tomorrow.

They have issued the imperial edict, but Guo Jia is disrespectful to resist the imperial edict, and the name of fighting is already in his palm.

As for how Yuan Shao suffered a loss before he was defeated in the war? Guo Tu didn't understand what Xu Shu meant.

They seemed that this time Yuan Shao sent troops, he was sure to take down Sizhou, including Guanzhong, and connect with Bingzhou, forming a double-team in the Central Plains.

If the situation develops in the direction they expected and Guo Jia surrenders Yuan Shao, then Yuan Shao will get Guo Jia's troops and horse territories and then attack the Central Plains. The north of the Yangtze River plus Yizhou and Guanxi belong to Yuan Shao, and the whole world will be unified, leaving only Jingzhou, Yangzhou and jiāozhou.

As expected, at that time, could Liu Biao, Sun Ce, and Yuan Shu still protect themselves? Surrendering was a wise move, and refusing to be self-destruction.

People who are too optimistic will always feel sad.

Xu Shu looked at Guo Tu gently and said calmly: "Cao cào, this person is different from each other. Although he has good intentions to your master, he has hidden evil intentions. Today, my master retreats back to Yizhou, and Cao cào has obtained Guanzhong with just a legitimate reputation. My master does not retreat. Cao cào uses your master to attack Guanzhong. Although your master has strong soldiers and generals, the soldiers and horses under my master are not shrimp soldiers and crab generals. If the two tigers fight, there will be one injury. Even if it is my master, how can your master take Guanzhong safely.

What about the Zhong? Even if you take it down, your lord will expand your lord after following the territory of the four states, but your lord's strength will be reduced. Gongsun Zan's front line is too long and you will be defeated one by one by your princess. Isn't Cao cào just this idea? Each lord divides troops to defend, and his strength does not increase but declines. Cao cào can easily divide your lord's troops and then slowly plan it. Lord Guo, your lord and Cao cào will have a battle sooner or later, but to look down, Cao cào is already deploying a decisive battle with your lord."

Compared to the relaxed expressions of others, Guo Tu was so nervous that she was sweating coldly.

Whether Xu Shu was exaggerating or not was difficult to tell.

But it always makes sense.

Yuan Shao and Cao cào may be destined to have a life-and-death battle.

If Yuan Shao was not eager for quick success and instant benefits, he would come to Guanzhong, and his original strategy was that after Gongsun Zan was destroyed, he would surrender Cao, and then make a choice between fighting or not based on Cao cào's reaction.

The two princes who once fought side by side and joined hands with each other must distinguish between the superiority and inferiority of the ruler in the pace of unifying the world. If they refuse to surrender, they will succeed, defeat and defeat.

Ju Su said Xu Shu, and Tian Feng said that Yuan Shao couldn't listen to it, and his confidence was over-inflated by the victory in recent years.

Because Guo Tu is opposed to Ju Su and Tian Feng and others' factions, he will naturally resist the other party's remarks.

The same thing, Xu Shu said it again.

Three people become tigers, and the words of the whole world make gold.

Guo Tu calmed down and thought for himself.

Does Cao cào really have no intention of planning Yuan Shao?

However, Cao cào is playing tricks and Yuan Shao is powerful. You can use your plan to make tricks frequently. As long as you have the strength, you will be afraid.

Now Guo Tu understands it.

Guo Jia will not surrender

He also wanted to cause trouble to the east, so that Yuan Shao and Cao cào would start a fight.

Since that's the case, there's nothing to say.

Let's start a war

"I am just ordered to come and declare the edict. Since the envoy is not convinced by the emperor, I have nothing to say. I will say goodbye, I hope the envoy will do his own thing."

Guo Tu left.

It’s not that he didn’t try his best to persuade him, but that Guo Jia’s attitude was already very clear.

Surrender must also be divided into objects.

If you surrender to Cao, you will be a loyal minister. In the future, Cao will overthrow and want to change the dynasty. If you want to scold the people in the world, you will scold Cao.
