"You mean? Your name is Guo Jia? Cao Cao plans to form an alliance with the lonely king? And he wants to marry his daughter to the lonely king as his concubine?"
No matter what Ren Xiangji thought, he never expected that such a day would come.
Looking at the thin figure opposite, Xiang Ji could only forcefully control his desire to go up and give him a blow.
This is Guo Jia! This is Cao Cao's number one adviser! If he were to be brought down directly, Cao Cao would probably lose one of his arms!
But when he turned to look at Jia Xu and the generals listed below, Xiang Ji could only control his desire.
If this is really done, I'm afraid my reputation will be completely ruined on the street.
But what does this guy mean? To form an alliance? To marry a girl?
Thinking of this, Guo Jia, who was not paying attention to Xiang Ji, turned around and opened Cao Cao's letter to read it.
After checking it, Xiang Ji was happy.
This Cao Cao is really capable of taking things and letting them go.
You were having a heated fight with me before, and you were trying to get the Chu Alliance to avenge Emperor Xian, but why are you so decisive now?
Yes, in the letter that was restricted to Xiang Yu, Cao Cao put down his dignity and decisively admitted his mistake to Xiang Yu.
There is no way, the situation is stronger than the person. Facing the pressure brought by Yuan Shao, the previous ones no longer matter.
You know, Yuan Shao, who is dominating Hebei Province, has more than 700,000 armored men.
What is this concept?
Today, after continuous development and expansion, Cao Cao only has about 150,000 armored men under his command.
And what about the Xiang Ji of Chu State?
Although Xiang Ji founded the country earlier, many of his soldiers were injured in successive battles.
Now, with the combined strength of the whole country, there are probably only over 200,000 soldiers.
But you must know that Xiang Ji's territory is not like Yuan Shao's, who only need to guard against foreigners.
Whether it is Liu Biao from Jingzhou or the foreign tribes from the mountains in southern Fujian, these are enemies that must be guarded against.
Therefore, Xiang Ji had to deploy heavy troops to guard Yangzhou.
At the very least, Zhou Taishui's military commander Xiang Ji, who is still cleaning up the remnants of the Wu Kingdom in Yangzhou, does not plan to be transferred back.
Even Shouchun's 20,000 infantrymen and Xiang Ji planned to add another 20,000 troops and place them in Jianye, Wujun and other places to defend the mountains.
This eliminated nearly half of Xiang Ji's troops.
Now that Liu Bei has been defeated and fled, Xiang Ji has lost one enemy, but similarly, after Liu Bei left, he has Yuan Shao who is far stronger than him.
Therefore, in the face of Cao Cao's request for peace, Xiang Ji also couldn't get what he wanted.
Just kidding, if you and Cao Cao were on guard against each other during the war with Yuan Shao, I am afraid that in the end both of them would be destroyed by Yuan Shao.
You know, this is not the Battle of Guandu in history.
In history, Cao Cao's foreign enemies had been eliminated and Xuzhou was in his hands. Only then could he safely compete with Yuan Shao for victory.
But with the current situation, neither Cao Cao nor Xiang Ji could defeat Yuan Shao with the help of their own family, as they were restrained by foreign enemies.
"The lonely king already knows what your master means.
Mr. Guo Jia has had a hard time coming from afar, so he might as well recuperate for the time being.
I will reply to you tomorrow tomorrow."
Although Xiang Ji agreed with Cao Cao's idea of forming an alliance in his heart, after all, this was no small matter, and he had to discuss it with Jia Xu before making a decision.
Looking at Guo Jia who was retreating, Xiang Ji handed Cao Cao's letter to Jia Xu who was beside him.
"Mr. Wenhe, the lonely king also wants to join forces with Cao Cao. Only in this way can we safely fight against Yuan Shao."
After successive battles, the Chu State's military morale and morale have reached the critical point of war weariness.
But there is no way, facing Yuan Shao's massive invasion, you can't just sit back and wait for death, right?
Therefore, Xiang Ji believed that forming an alliance with Cao Cao was the only way out for the Chu army at present.
For the Chu army, which is currently strong on the outside and capable on the inside, this is the only way to get a chance of survival.
"Overlord, Xu has no objection to forming an alliance.
And looking at Cao Cao's words, it really shows his sincerity in forming an alliance.
However, Xu thought that if the Overlord really wanted to form an alliance with Cao Cao, he might as well go directly to Yanzhou."
???
Suddenly hearing what Jia Xu said, Xiang Ji was stunned.
Okay, what do you want me to do in Yanzhou?
If there's no war in Qingzhou, then it's okay to go.
But now the Chu army is confronting Yuan Shao's general Wen Chou in Anqiu.
"Overlord, you can rest assured when it comes to Qingzhou. Na Wen Chou is just a fool of himself. What's more, our army has taken the lead in occupying Anqiu. With Youxu guarding here, there is no way that he can break into Yangdu.
.
The reason why Xu asked Overlord to go to Yanzhou was to help Cao Cao.
Now, Yuan Shao's main attack direction is Yanzhou, but the overlord must not forget that his lips are dead and his teeth are cold.
If Cao Cao cannot resist Yuan Shao, then Yuan Shao will destroy Cao Cao.
After sweeping through Sizhou and Yanzhou, when he sends troops from Yanzhou with the power of victory, how can our army resist?"
Xiang Ji understood.
Jia Xu was afraid that Cao Cao wouldn't do enough, so he just asked Yuan Shao to push him aside.
However, this is indeed worth noting, after all, history has changed.
Cao Cao today is far less powerful than Cao Cao during the Battle of Guandu in history.
If Cao Cao is really destroyed by Yuan Shao, I'm afraid I won't be able to stop him.
When Xiang Ji heard that the number of soldiers under Yuan Shao's command reached 700,000, he was not surprised that it was a lie.
Damn it, there are 700,000 people! One person spitting at the mouth can flood the moat of a small county town. How are we going to fight this?
Nowadays, the army that Chu State can really bring out to fight Yuan Shao is probably less than 100,000 people.
If Yuan Shao were to attack in two ways, he would really have to worry about one and lose the other.
At the very least, the defense in the direction where Xiang Ji is not located must be unstoppable.
After being reminded by Jia Xu, Xiang Ji also knew the importance of Cao Cao.
This guy has now completely become my barrier.
"In this case, the lonely king will take Canglongqi to Yanzhou to meet Cao Cao for a while."
Since we want to lend a helping hand, we naturally need to bring some powerful troops.
As for Xiang Yu’s safety after going to Yanzhou?
This is just a joke. Cao Cao is not stupid. What good can he gain by harming Xiang Ji at this time?
Not to mention whether he can stand up to Yuan Shao independently after killing Xiang Ji.
Just this reputation issue, I'm afraid it will be infamy for thousands of years.
What's more, if Xiang Ji is really killed in Yanzhou, the Chu army in Xuzhou will have to attack Yanzhou first.
Moreover, Xiang Ji, who was very confident in himself, was not afraid of Cao Cao's playing tricks.
Even if he really has bad intentions, I will lead the Canglong Cavalry. Who in the world can stop me?
This is Xiang Ji's confidence to conquer the world.
