So because of fear of the epidemic, Cao Cao and the others had no choice but to retreat. Overall, Yuan Shujun suffered a great loss in the past two months. Not to mention that he was defeated step by step, but it was indeed not much different. After all, he had to face three parties before.

He first sent troops to Xuzhou, but was defeated by Lu Bu. Then Cao Cao and Sun Ce advanced almost at the same time. Yuan Shu hurriedly dispatched troops to defend, and then this sudden drought and locust plague. Of course, this really saved Yuan Shu. Although Huainan was the most severely affected area, for Yuan Shu, he would not care about the lives and deaths of the people. Anyway, he was safe and sound, so it would be better than anything else. At least others might not have food to eat, but he would definitely not be like this.

-----------------------------------------------------

Cao Cao and the others retreated from Yuan Shu, and Ma Chao, who was in Long County, was preparing to move the capital. When Ma Chao moved the capital of Xudu, he took the opportunity to occupy Henan. After more than half a month of rest, he led his troops back to Long County, and he submitted a letter to the court, allowing Jia Xu, who was still in Yizhou at the time, to be the Sili lieutenant. In the end, Cao Cao did not show his kindness to Ma Chao, not only gave Jia Xu, the Sili lieutenant, but also promoted Ma Chao to the title of marquis.

His capital has always been in Longxian County, Hanyang, Liangzhou, but this has always been the capital of Liangzhou. Of course, Longxian is also Ma Chao's base camp. But now Ma Chao is the general of the Han Dynasty and is in charge of the governor of Liangzhou. He has already had Liangzhou. Yizhou and he has just won Sili, which has not been too long. Of course, it is no longer a small force, so Guo Jia and others jointly advise Ma Chao, saying that the lord is now the time to move the capital. He can no longer be in Longxian because this place is actually inappropriate.

Ma Chao thought about it carefully and said that his sphere of influence is now that Liangzhou is the northwest. Even though Longxian is located in Liangzhou, and Hanyang is adjacent to Sili Fufeng, it cannot change the ideas of many people. That is, he is a sloppy person, because in Liangzhou, it makes people think it is a sloppy person.

Whatever others think, Ma Chao actually doesn't care too much about it, but his subordinates and soldiers. What they think is the most important, but Ma Chao has to pay attention to it. If most of them think that they are more at ease, then they are not, so it is actually considered. Isn't that the case? It's not important for them to think that their subordinates and soldiers think that they are important.

Even Zhuge Liang wrote to Liu Bei. "The Han thieves are not in harmony, but the Wang Ye is not in peace." Although he would not say "The Han thieves are not in harmony", it is indeed "the Wang Ye is not in peace".

Moreover, Ma Chao had already had this idea, so he wanted to move the capital directly to Chang'an, Sili. Although Chang'an was indeed destroyed a lot by Li Jue and Guo Si before, he was not afraid, because he had money and food, what else could he be afraid of. Moreover, there were still many benefits. At least he could see his subordinates and his soldiers. He was not the kind of lord who was in a peaceful corner, but he could lead them to achieve greater and greater achievements, that is, he could get greater and greater benefits in the future. That is it.

-----------------------------------------------------

So while Cao Cao and his friends were busy dealing with droughts and locust plagues, Ma Chao was already preparing to move the capital from Longxian to Chang'an. At this moment, he heard bad news. What came from Bingzhou was that Zhang Yang and Zhang Zhishu, his long-time friend, had something happened to Zhang Yang and Zhang Zhishu, who had been in Shangdang in Bingzhou.

Because his advisers gave Yuan Shao advice, saying that the promotion of Shangdang in Bingzhou was a threat, the lord should be removed as soon as possible. Yuan Shao thought it was very reasonable when he heard it. At this time, he and Gongsun Zan were both sides temporarily in peace. Then Zhang Yang, the prefect of Shangdang, was indeed a threat, so he had to lift the threat as soon as possible.

However, Yuan Shao also knew that "a defeated the enemy without fighting". If the enemy could surrender without bloodshed, the other party could surrender himself, it would be the best. However, after Yuan Shao sent an envoy to Shangdang with his own letter, Zhang Yang naturally could not surrender, and drove the envoy out directly. This made Yuan Shao feel particularly shameless, so when the envoy came back, he directly led his troops to attack Shangdang. For Yuan Shao, if he dared to treat him like this, he would only die.

How could Zhang Yang be Yuan Shao's opponent? After more than half a month, Shangdang County was lost without any accident. Changzicheng was captured by the Jizhou army, and Zhang Yang finally suffered a defeat and committed suicide. Yuan Shao occupied Shangdang County and expanded his sphere of influence.

After the news reached Long County, Ma Chao was very sad. He didn't know about his uncle, his brother Zhi, and he could have given up the entire Shangdang County directly. Then he could be safe as soon as he arrived at Sili, but he didn't do this. He just wanted to fight Yuan Shao to the death, but the result...

Many of Ma Chao's subordinates knew that their lord had a good relationship with Zhang Yang, the prefect of Shangdang, so they could only persuade them, for fear that their lord would be hot for a moment and would lead troops to Bingzhou. For some generals, they liked this, but those who really understood knew that this was not something that could not be done.

Because that would really be a bad thing. Now our side is not suitable to move troops, so we should have a better rest. What's more, it's hard to say whether we can be Yuan Shao and Yuan Benchu's opponent. Although most people think that if we really face Yuan Shao's Jizhou army, our side should be able to win, but it's probably a miserable victory. At that time, we can only let others "reap the benefits of the fisherman". This others will naturally be Gongsun Zan from Youzhou and Cao Cao from Xu Du.

At this time, Guo Jia was persuading his lord, "Lord, the so-called 'a person cannot be resurrected when he dies'. We are also very sad that the prefect Zhang defeated Yuan Shao and committed suicide in Changzi City, but now our army should move the capital to Chang'an as the most important thing!"

Of course, Ma Chao understood what Guo Jia meant, but to himself, many things were actually not important, really, but relatives and friends were the most important. Whenever Ma Chao remembered all the things he had met Zhang Yang over the past decade and now, Ma Chao knew that he could not let Yuan Shao go, nor could he let Yuan Shao go of Jizhou Army.

So Ma Chao said to Guo Jia: "No need to say more about filial piety, I have made a decision at this time!"

Guo Jia looked at it, "Lord, this..., alas, I'll give up!"

Guo Jia knew that now this matter was only a long-term plan. After he came out of the provincial governor's mansion, Guo Jia thought all the way that basically everyone who could come now has come. It seems that it is not. No, no, but there is still someone who has not shown up.

So at this time, Guo Jia turned to the residence of the person who had not yet appeared and walked towards it. The person who had not shown up was the current Sili School Commander Jia Xu and Jia Wenhe.

Jia Xu was originally in Sili as his Sili lieutenant. But now Ma Chao doesn't want to move the capital to Chang'an, so Ma Chao temporarily recalled Jia Xu, the Sili lieutenant, to Longxian. He helped him with these things. For Ma Chao, his subordinates don't need to be useless. Now he needs Jia Xu to help, so naturally he can't let him go.

Guo Jia remembered that Jia Wen and the old fox had never come forward. Of course, this did fit his personality. But Guo Jia felt that he could not just let him go. I think he could get a way to change his lord's mind from him.

After so long contact, Guo Jia really admired Jia Xu. He knew that Jia Xu was indeed powerful enough, he was unparalleled in the world. So Guo Jia never dared to underestimate him. You should know what is the most difficult thing in the world, it is not a profound classic, but a human heart. But Jia Wen and his people's grasp of human hearts is indeed no match for him. At least Guo Jia has never seen anyone who can surpass him in search of him, so he has to admire him.

Guo Jia easily met Jia Xu in the mansion. When Jia Xu saw Guo Jia coming, he smiled. Guo Jia didn't be polite to him, so he just found a place to sit down.

Guo Jia first spoke, "Brother Wenhe should know what Jia is here to do now, right?"

When Guo Jia saw Jia Xu like this, he would probably not believe this old fox if he didn't know.

Of course, Jia Xu could not be as cautious as he was with his lord. Moreover, Jia Xu really admired Guo Jia very much. He was younger than him, and he was very strategic and smart, and could not be compared to ordinary people. He knew that Guo Jia and Guo Fengxiao would be the mainstay of the Liangzhou army sooner or later.

Jia Xu smiled slightly, "You should know that you are filial piety. Your lord is not able to persuade you to be awesome!"

When Guo Jia heard this, he knew that Jia Xu had a way. After all, with his understanding of Jia Xu, if Jia Xu had no way or wanted to say anything, then he could be away from the mansion or simply not see himself. But now it is not like this. Not only did he meet himself, but he also said this to himself, so I have to say that there is a chance here.

Guo Jia naturally agreed with what Jia Xu said, but he said: "I don't know what brother Wen and I have, so please give me some advice!"

Jia Xu waved his hand, "You don't have to be so polite. As long as Feng Xiao can agree to Xu, then Xu will tell Feng Xiao everything he thinks!"

When Guo Jia heard this, he asked, "I don't know what Brother Wenhe said, what is it?"

Jia Xu smiled mysteriously and said, "As long as you agree to filial piety, what's going on today..."

Before Jia Xu finished speaking, Guo Jia understood and hurriedly said, "Jia understands. Jia has never met Brother Wenhe before, and the ideas were all thought out by Jia himself. Wenhe thinks so good?"

Jia Xu laughed, "Okay, okay! In this way, Xu will tell you what he thinks. Fengxiao thinks about it, lord... In the end, it should be no problem!"

Guo Jia listened to what Jia Xu told him, his eyes were lit, and he thought to himself that it was Jia Xu, the old fox, who could directly catch the key points. Why didn't he expect that before? Maybe this would really make the lord change his mind, yes, that's it! (To be continued, please search Piao Tianwen, the novel is better and faster!
