Everyone looked at each other, but they didn't say anything, and everyone was still browsing. Seeing this, Cao Pi felt a little unhappy.

At this time, Guo Jia, who was lying on the sickbed, spoke: "Prime Minister. Although the current situation is not good for me, it is definitely not as strong as those of Lu Bu. Overall, our strength is not inferior to Lu Bu. It was just that Lu Bu seized the initiative during this period and encountered some defeats..." Speaking of this, Guo Jia only felt that he could not lift it up in one breath and gasped violently. After hearing Guo Jia's words, everyone felt that what he said made sense, and his originally depressed mood couldn't help but reply a lot.

Guo Jia was angry for a while before continuing: "Although Lu Bu is in the limelight, there are many internal problems. The recent civil strife in Xuchang and Runan is the best example. Therefore, Lu Bu will never launch a decent offensive in a short period of time. There is no need to worry about Lu Bu's threat for the time being. Liu Bei, a villain, succeeded, and although he defeated our army, he also suffered a lot of losses. It is impossible for him to take this opportunity to raid Luoyang. Therefore, our army's current responsibilities

The task is to shrink the defense line, carefully manage the Luoyang area, and at the same time to reorganize the army and prepare for war and restore strength to boost morale. At the same time, high officials and generous salaries can induce the barbarians to raid Chang'an. If this plan can be achieved, you can take the opportunity to go west to seize Chang'an, and also cut off the threat from one side. If this plan fails, you must find a way to unite Liu Bei to fight against Lu Bu...." Guo Jia said many words in one breath, but he couldn't help but feel panic and breathed. Everyone showed thoughtful expressions.

Guo Jia continued: "If the barbarians still did not raid Chang'an as agreed, they would have to be prepared. Seeing that we suffered a lot of losses in a row, they were afraid that they would have a strange intention! At that time, they not only had to find a way to reconcile and unite with Liu Bei, but also had to dispatch troops to Bingzhou to prevent accidents! In addition, they had to guard Liu Bei. Although Liu Bei was unable to go west and go east at this moment, Mao Jie, who was guarding Xiliang, was always suspicious of the prime minister because of the matter of Prince Cao Zhi. If Liu Bei surrendered to him, the matter of Xiliang would be unpredictable. Mao Jie should be replaced as soon as possible and Yu Jin should be controlled by Yu Jin..." Guo Jia's voice became lower and lower, and in the end he was finally completely out of his ears.

Everyone couldn't help but look at Guo Jia and found that he fainted on the soft bed. Cao Pi was shocked and quickly called a medical officer to treat him.

After the medical officer conducted emergency rescue, he clasped his fists at Cao Pi and said, "Prime Minister, after the villain's golden needle pierced the acupoint, Lord Guo Jia is not seriously injured. However, Lord Guo Jia is sick and weak, and he is really unbearable to deal with it. It is better to go home and rest."

Cao Pi frowned and nodded, and ordered people to call the servants who were waiting for Guo Jia's mansion outside the door, and asked them to carry Guo Jia back to the mansion to rest.

After Guo Jia left, Cao Pi returned to the upper head and sat down, frowned and looked thoughtful. He turned his head to look at Xun You and asked, "Mr. Gongda, what do you think about what Guo Fengxiao said just now?"

Xun You thought for a moment, then clasped his fists and said, "Prime Minister Fengxiao's words just made sense. However, my subordinates think that Fengxiao is a bit too worried about the barbarians and Mao Jie's issues!" "Oh? Why did Mr. Gongda say this?" "Prime Minister Fengxiao believes that if the barbarians still do not follow orders to attack Chang'an, it is a strange intention, and my subordinates really do not agree with this. Indeed, the barbarians have always been just a group of jackals. It is simply a dream to say who they are loyal to. However, although our side has suffered consecutive defeats, its overall strength is still far above Liu Bei, and Liu Bei also suffered a lot in the previous battle. Although the barbarians are vulgar, they are not fools. If they dare not even attack Liu Bei, how could they attack us?"

When everyone heard what Xun You said, they nodded, feeling that what he said made sense.

Xun You continued: "As for Mao Jie's incident, my subordinates thought that filial piety was too much. In fact, Mao Jie's wife and concubines were in Luoyang, so how could he have a strange intention? Did he ignore his wife and concubine's life?"

Cao Pi couldn't help but nodded and smiled, "Mr. Gongda's words are very consistent with my heart!" He paused, "It seems that Guo Fengxiao is too ill. Many things can't be seen clearly."

Xun You clasped his fists and said, "There is also the problem of treating Liu Bei. Liu Bei is a wolf-like ambition, and it is tantamount to joining him. In the end, he will be harmed by him! My subordinates think that although our army suffered defeat before, it is now a great opportunity to defeat Liu Bei and regain Guanzhong! Now Lu Bu is busy quelling the rebellion, which just allows us to free up our hands to deal with Liu Bei first!"

Several civil officials agreed. Cao Pi looked excited, but due to his previous defeat, he did not dare to act rashly, and wanted to ask Guo Jia before making a decision.

Later that day, Cao Pi led Xun You to Guo Jia's residence to visit Guo Jia. However, Guo Jia was still in a coma and could not speak to Cao Pi at all. Cao Pi sat in front of Guo Jia's sickbed for a moment, and then led Xun You away.

On the way back to the Prime Minister's Mansion, Xun You couldn't help but say to Cao Pi: "Prime Minister, the military situation is urgent. If it is delayed for a long time, let alone whether there will be any changes in Lu Bu's side. I'm afraid that Liu Bei will reorganize his military. It will be even more difficult to seize Chang'an at that time!..." Cao Pi frowned, looking very moved, but he still had no decision. Xun You quickly said: "Prime Minister, our army has been defeated, and Liu Bei will not expect that our army will launch another fierce attack immediately. At this time, the attack will take its unexpected effect. It will definitely catch Liu Bei off guard and recover Guanzhong in one fell swoop! The opportunity must not be missed!" Cao Pi's heart moved, and he couldn't help but nodded, and finally said resolutely: "Okay! Just do as the sir!"

Ai Lang was in Xuchang and commanded the battle to quell the rebellion. However, Ai Lang's orders had just been issued, but bad news came from Sui Yang. Sui Yang was lost and the rebellious army led by Zhao Du occupied Sui Yang.

On the same day, Ailang left Xuchang and Ma Chao led 20,000 cavalry to drive directly to Suiyang, one south and one north.

After Zhao Du occupied Suiyang, his confidence was overwhelming. He even called himself the Emperor of Jin, and he also enthroned the empress and concubines, and established a group of officials and ministers. At this time, Zhao Du finally received information and learned that his younger brother had been wiped out of the killing army outside Xuchang City. Zhao Du was shocked and angry, and immediately mobilized the army to advance westward, preparing to fight with Lu Bu to the decisive battle under Xuchang City.

On this day, the 100,000 army led by Zhao Du entered Tuoxian a hundred miles west of Suiyang, and happened to meet the 20,000 combat cavalry led by Ailang.

Zhao Du relied on his troops to form a military formation and immediately formed a military formation to fight Lu Bu. Seeing this, Ailang felt that he was right in his mind, so he formed a dignified formation in front of Zhao Du and set off his stance!

The war drums in the Zhaodu army were astonishing as the earth-shaking, and the hundred thousand troops made a shout, shaking the sky. The Zhaodu army was different from the previous army of his younger brother. There were almost no elderly, weak, women and children in the army. It seemed that they were all young and strong. The military formation made of the 100,000 troops was magnificent and powerful! It seemed that the Zhaodu army was an elite army of the chaos army.

Ailang glanced at the enemy army formation, and then noticed a middle-aged man with a golden helmet, golden armor and red cloak standing under the enemy army formation. He looked majestic and arrogant. Ailang smiled coldly and then raised the Fangtian Painted Ridge. The horn sounded loudly, and the long sound of the sound broke through the sky.

Zhao Du realized that his opponent was about to attack, and immediately became excited and murmured to himself: "Today I will let you know the power of my Great Jin army!" After Zhao Du defeated the thousands of civilian troops in Suiyang, he couldn't help but feel that he was invincible and could not defeat him. Even Lu Bu, who is known as "Lu Bu among people", was no problem! Therefore, facing Lu Bu and his 20,000 combat cavalry under his command, Zhao Du and his soldiers were not only not afraid at all, but also had a sense of excitement, which was the excitement when they were about to start killing!

Ai Lang Fangtian's painting halberd waved forward, and the powerful general Wen Chou immediately led the five thousand war cavalry to launch the attack first! The five thousand war cavalry was like a tiger coming out of the cage, and a wave of attack suddenly started! The war horses rushed forward, and the murderous aura was like a rainbow! The chaotic army saw the scene of cavalry charge for the first time, and couldn't help but be shocked by this fierce aura that was moving forward! However, at this moment, all the rebels were full of confidence. The shocked emotions flashed by just a flash, and then an excited impulse surged into their hearts, wishing that the other party would rush in front of them quickly so that they could kill them!

The iron hooves rushed like a tide, and in a blink of an eye it had already rushed to less than a hundred steps in front of the rioter formation! Zhao Du shouted: "Shoot the arrow!" The crossbowman who had been ready to go immediately fired the arrow, and saw the arrows like locust flying into the air, and in a blink of an eye it fell into the war cavalry! The torrent of the iron hooves suddenly stirred up many ripples, and many cavalry were shot to the ground. This scene made the officers and soldiers of the rioters even more excited!

However, what was beyond the expectations of the officers and soldiers of the riots, after the ripples caused by their arrow rain passed, the torrent of cavalry not only did not defeat, but also rushed up with a more fierce momentum! The cold light of swords and guns reflected the bloodthirsty eyes, and under the roar of iron hooves, it exuded an indescribable sense of oppression! The officers and soldiers of the riots were shocked! At this moment, the officers and soldiers of the riots only felt as if they were targeted by a tiger and a wolf!

Seeing the enemy cavalry sweeping over like a strong wind and waves, Zhao Du couldn't help but panic and shouted: "Don't stand there! Keep shooting arrows!"

The crossbowmen reacted and hurriedly bent their bows and arrows again.

However, the speed of the Lu Bu army's combat cavalry far exceeded their imagination. Before they could send out the second arrow, the cavalry wave had already surged in front of the formation! In an instant, a huge impact sounded. The defensive line that originally seemed to the Lu Bu army itself was like a sand dike blocking in front of the huge waves, collapsed in an instant!? The Lu Bu army's combat cavalry crashed into the formation, rushed fiercely, and moved forward! I saw iron hooves trampling on, swords and guns, and blood and flesh flying in the middle of the Lu Bu army! In an instant, the entire Lu Bu army's formation was shaken!

Zhao Du looked at the magnificent and terrifying scene in front of him, and was shocked. He could not believe that his military formation was broken by the opponent's combat cavalry in a blink of an eye! This is a situation he never dreamed of. This situation is completely opposite to his imagination!
