Guo Jia continued at this time, "So since Cao Mengde can unite with Sun Bofu and Liu Xuande, so please think that this is not impossible. Moreover, in the current situation, even if Cao Mengde's Yanzhou army is not in power, the local forces in Jingzhou are somewhat biased towards him, Cao Mengde!"

When everyone heard this, they thought it wasn't that the case. I remember that when Cai Mao was still alive, he was a part of Cao Cao. As a result, although he was already dead at this time, no one in other aristocratic families in Jingzhou would dare to say that there was no one like Cai Mao. So everyone knew in their hearts that Guo Jia's words would definitely make sense.

Ma Chao, who had been listening to Guo Jia but had not spoken, looked solemn at this time, but he didn't pace this time, but he was more serious than before. After all, it was impossible for him not to pay attention to this matter. He did not think about what Guo Jia said at this time, and of course he did not expect it.

For him, this matter is certainly not a trivial matter, so he can't be so calm and everything is in control.

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

Ma Chao is just an individual, not a god. Besides, no matter Cao Cao, Liu Bei, Sun Ce, whoever pulled it out, it can be said that he is not an ordinary person. Ma Chao never dared to underestimate them, and it is impossible for him to underestimate them, not to mention the local forces in Jingzhou who are still watching. Although Cai Mao was dead, the Kuai brothers were still there, so Ma Chao also felt a crisis that he had to pay attention to it.

At least he is not arrogant and thinks that he will definitely be able to compete with the three-party alliance between Cao Cao, Sun Ce and Liu Bei, and Jingzhou. Although he did make the Sun and Liu coalition army suffer a loss before in Qichun, this is true, but even so, it does not mean that Ma Chao will despise them, and this still won't be possible.

If Cao Cao's Yanzhou Army, Sun and Liu coalition, and Jingzhou local forces, and the local families and tribes, Ma Chao is fearless when he meets them. Although he will not underestimate the enemy, he will not be afraid of anything. But if the three parties really unite, Ma Chao knows in his heart that he and the Liangzhou Army will probably be in danger.

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

At that time, the advantage will definitely be taken over by them, but the side is at a disadvantage. You have to admit that if the three parties really unite together, they will learn from their strengths and weaknesses, and they will not necessarily be their opponents, so Ma Chao cannot not worry about anything. On the one hand, he does not want what Guo Jia said to be true, but he also wants to have a real opponent. If the three parties really unite, then he can be said to be the strongest opponent. Just as Guo Jia said, he is the strongest enemy.

Guo Jia said this. He paused. After all, he had to let everyone digest it more, mainly to let his lord think more. After all, Guo Jia knew that just by saying it, it had no meaning at all, and it had no special effect. The key was his lord and everyone's intentions. How they decided and what they decided, and what they decided, and finally the key was.

Of course, Guo Jia also knew in his heart that with the eyes of his lord and the eyes of everyone, it was impossible for him to not be able to see these things. At least even if he couldn't see them before, they would definitely know a lot with his own reminder, so naturally he didn't have to worry too much about them.

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

So Guo Jia still believes that his lord and everyone can come up with a good idea. What he should do about this? After all, he must prepare for the future and must "prevent problems before it happens." Now, while the news of the alliance between several parties has not yet been heard, his side will be ready first, but if the news of their three parties is really heard, then maybe it may be a bit too late for him to prepare.

People say that soldiers are very fast, but in fact, this is still fast. At least Guo Jia believes that if you are prepared, even if you face such a strong enemy, your side does not have a chance of winning. After all, it is not impossible to win with less and weak defeat with strong. Of course, over the years, your side has a considerable strength, and few of your opponents can surpass your side, so it is true that you have almost never encountered these things.

However, if we face the three parties, we may be able to defeat the more with less and defeat the strong with weak. But I don’t know what kind of person my lord is, and having such a strong enemy does not mean that there is no benefit.

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

After a while, Ma Chao, the lord, spoke. He sat down at this time, then raised his hands and pressed down, allowing everyone to sit down, and everyone sat down.

If you say what Guo Jia said before, they were surprised, but fortunately, it would be over if everyone was surprised. After all, they were all considered people who had seen strong winds and waves, so even if they said that the sky was about to collapse, they were just surprised. But they had to say that Guo Jia's words also made them think a lot. Except for Cui An who had basically no ideas, everyone else thought a lot, and it was impossible not to think about anything about this matter.

After seeing everyone sitting down again, Ma Chao said, "Everyone, today's affairs are thanks to Fengxiao reminding me, otherwise I really ignored such an important issue!"

Ma Chao's words were actually considered to admit what he ignored as his lord. After all, the so-called "no gold is pure, no one is perfect." Of course, Ma Chao could not have had any problems, but more often, he performed well. And everyone, who are subordinates, are indeed quite satisfied with his lord. After all, among so many princes in the world, his lord is definitely the best. Yes, if you don't look down on your lord, can you still do things under his lord?

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

When everyone heard what their lord said, they quickly said in unison. "We are afraid!"

What does this mean? It's so obvious. That means. The lord even said that you have ignored this matter, so no one of us, except Guo Jia, has actually ignored this matter. So you don't have to say anything about ignoring or not. Are we all the same?

Ma Chao smiled and said nothing more about this. The reason why he said this was just an attitude. Ma Chao was definitely not Cao Cao, and Cao Cao never admitted that he was wrong. As for Ma Chao, he made mistakes and made mistakes. He may not admit that he had made mistakes every time, but he will definitely not refuse to admit it. He just took it over. After all, he had to give an explanation to everyone of his subordinates. For him, it is normal for people to make mistakes. Of course, he can also tell some of his shortcomings. It is no big deal.

Then Ma Chao said again, "Today, I would like to thank Feng Xiaozhi for his advice. If he hadn't, we would underestimate the enemy's carelessness!"

When everyone heard this, they nodded in agreement. It was true that because of Guo Jia, because of his reminder, everyone realized that they were actually in danger now, not as relaxed as they are now. This is just a superficial thing, but what Mr. Fengxiao saw was a deeper thing.

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

Of course, Ma Chao praised Guo Jia first, and directly said that without Guo Jia, he would have to underestimate the enemy. That means Guo Jia made contributions, and Ma Chao's meaning is very obvious, that is, I agree with what Guo Jia said.

Of course, everyone agreed with this. After Guo Jia said this, everyone understood it. If they still don’t understand it, what kind of mind would it be. Not to mention others, even Cui An could understand it a little.

"I wonder what you think about this?"

Ma Chao asked everyone, what do you think? Let’s talk about it. After all, now they are likely to unite and then fight against each other, so everyone has to do their best, right?

When everyone heard this, they knew that the lord must be unable to let go of people like me. But thinking about it is true that the lord is the lord, and if you have any trouble, you will naturally be obeyed. There is nothing to say about this. But if you ask yourself, do you have any ideas? This...

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

This time Gan Ning was a little eager to try. When Ma Chao saw it, he hurriedly said, "What do Xingba have to say?"

Gan Ning smiled and said, "Lord, for the matter of the three parties of Cao Mengde, I think it is indeed as Mr. Fengxiao said, but our army has to be careful!"

Everyone said, we all know this, can't you say something useful, what we don't know?

Gan Ning may have known everyone's thoughts, so he immediately said again, "Lord, as the saying goes, 'Cities are easy to break from the inside'. Although Cao Mengde's Yanzhou Army and Sun Liu's coalition and Jingzhou's local aristocratic families have the basis for unity, it is precisely because they are a multi-party alliance, so there is no conflict at all. But according to the subordinates, our army can start from here and divide and dissolve its multi-party alliance. Let it have many conflicts. It is best if our side disbands unhappily. Even if this is not the case, they will inevitably be 'face-to-face and disagree' and will not attack us at all!"

After Ma Chao heard this, he had to say that Gan Ning’s words made sense.

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

Everyone nodded the same way, but actually think about it carefully. It was really what Gan Ning said.

If you say that multiple parties have joined forces, it is impossible to say that there is no conflict at all, and this is impossible. So you can make a fuss about it. If there are at least a few parties, it will turn it into a big conflict. Even if there is no conflict, it will be created. In this case, it will be of great benefit to your side.

But if this happens, the problem will follow. This is something that everyone has to consider.

So at this time, Ma Chao nodded and said, "Xingba's words are reasonable. However, although his ideas are good, there are still great difficulties in implementing them. Not to mention the defenses of our troops by several parties, just talk about how our troops should be. Only by making the generations bigger and more conflicts. This is a problem, and how to implement them. This can only be one step, one step, but now I am in a hurry!"

After hearing what his lord said, everyone stopped nodding. His lord's words were reasonable, and some things were not necessarily what you thought, so they really had to make a long-term plan.

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

Ma Chao looked at Guo Jia at this time and then said, "Fengxiao. Since you are the one who advised this matter, then you should tell me what should our army do at this time?"

Guo Jia smiled and thought to himself that his lord had already planned it, and in the end he had to let himself talk. In fact, if he wanted to talk about this, it was still the same thing, but nothing else was.

So I heard Guo Jia say again, "Lord, everyone, Jia thinks that our army must be prepared now, which is inevitable. At least before the exact news has come, our army is planning ahead. It can be said that it will not lose the opportunity. It is always good to be prepared!"

Of course, everyone understood what Guo Jia meant, and they also considered it.

"At this time, our army should strictly guard Jiangxia. Although Xiling has been lost, our army will take it back. After that, our army will strictly guard Jiangxia and try not to let the city fall into the enemy's hands!"

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

When everyone heard this, it was still a bit difficult. There was no problem in recapturing Xiling City, but it was not easy to defend and try not to let the enemy capture their own cities. After all, Jiangxia has fewer cities, so it is impossible for anyone to defend.

So let alone the three parties united, even one Yanzhou army may not be able to stop it.

However, they still understood what everyone meant to Guo Jia. After all, if the three parties united together, they would definitely have to fight in Jiangxia, so they would definitely have to fight in Jiangxia, and Jiangxia would not be peaceful, so they naturally had to prepare for this early.

"Also, now our army is just like General Han Sheng said. When we head south to Changsha and seize Changsha County, our soldiers are strictly guarding Jiangxia, and on the other hand, we join the army and enter Changsha!"

This is what Guo Jia said. Everyone understands that the benefits of doing this are of course not to delay both sides and to take into account both sides. However, there are naturally disadvantages. The bad thing is that the troops on our side are dispersed, so of course this is not good.

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

So Ma Chao had to ask, "According to the filial piety, our army's forces will be dispersed. I don't know how feasible?"

Guo Jiaze replied, "My lord, please think that although the three parties are indeed likely to unite, it is indeed not the case yet, so this is the most beneficial thing for our army. Our army immediately entered Changsha and strived to resolve the war in Changsha as quickly as possible. Perhaps at that time, it may not be necessary for the three parties to unite, and it is even later than we thought. After all, this matter is definitely not achieved overnight, and it must be not the matter of one party and two parties!"

Ma Chao nodded slightly, saying that Guo Jia had indeed convinced himself that even though Jiang Xia might have to face the attack of Cao Cao's Yanzhou Army, Sun and Liu's coalition and Jingzhou local forces, he still believed Guo Jia's words and decided to remain unchanged. He would still advance to Changsha, but Jiang Xia had to strictly guard it, especially Qichun.

Ma Chao slapped the table and said, "Okay, just follow what Feng Xiao said, just do this!"

Everyone shouted in unison, "We should obey the lord's order!"

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

So Ma Chao had already made a decision and did it according to Guo Jia and everyone's ideas. Of course, it was what he thought.

In order to prevent the three parties from jointly attacking Jiangxia, Jiangxia was strictly guarded by Ma Chao. Although he did not expect that he would not lose a city under the opponent's powerful offensive, the most critical places must be kept, otherwise it would be very disadvantageous to him.
