For Xuzhou to lose this kind of thing, Cao Cao's first reaction was to convene a meeting of the strategists.

He at least had to figure out how Xuzhou was lost.

If you can't figure out this problem, Cao Cao definitely doesn't want to sleep, Su Yunqing can touch Xuzhou without knowing it, who knows if he will touch other places easily?

Cao Cao didn't dare to bet on such a thing.

Of course, the people who came to report the news naturally brought relevant war reports, probably the number of people who came was almost 10,000 people, and they came out without knowing what was going on, or they suddenly appeared in Donghai County, because Cao Cao transferred too many troops, so Cao Cao's hinterland was very empty, sometimes it was said that there were thousands of garrison troops, but in fact it was just a few hundred old and weak soldiers, so Donghai County was quickly taken.

After taking Donghai County, the more than 10,000 Bingzhou troops immediately rushed to Langya, and at the same time, the Bingzhou troops stationed in Qingzhou who had not moved also began to attack Li Dian's troops stationed at the border.

Needless to say, most of the more than 10,000 people who came were foot soldiers, and there were few cavalry, but once the Qingzhou defense line collapsed, a large number of Bingzhou cavalry originally stationed in Qingzhou immediately rushed into Xuzhou.

Even the more than 10,000 foot soldiers were well supplied.

Needless to say, it didn't take long for Xiapi to be gone.

Xiapi is gone, and there is no need to have much hope for Xuzhou.

So a group of strategists under Cao Cao discussed how Su Yunqing's battle was fought, and Cao Cao felt that the crux of the problem was the more than 10,000 people who emerged from Donghai County at the beginning.

How did this group of people end up in Tokai County?

Anyway, it can't be from Yanzhou, Cao Cao himself is currently in Yanzhou, Xuzhou is still behind him, if more than 10,000 people really pass under his nose, Cao Cao can't find out.

So, it must be somewhere else.

Then only the only thing left is to pass through Qingzhou.

However, there is Cao Cao in Yanzhou, and there is also Li Dian on the border of Qingzhou!

Li Dian can be said to be strictly guarding Qingzhou, and there is no reason why 10,000 people can quietly cross Langya and go directly to the East China Sea.

At this time, Cheng Yu had already followed Cao Ren to Yanzhou, and he couldn't help but be a little afraid when he thought of this, if they walked slowly, it was very likely that they would collide with this army, and Cao Ren only had a few thousand people in his hands, so I am afraid it would be difficult to get any benefits.

But one thing is certain, if Cheng Yu and Cao Ren collide with this army, then at least they can find each other in advance, and with Cheng Yu's ability, they should not let the other party fly so happily in Xuzhou.

Guo Jia thought for a while and asked a question: "Do you know who the general of this army is?" ”

Knowing this, it is possible to roughly guess where this force came from.

At least there are traces to follow.

Cao Cao flipped through the war report and said: "It is said that there are Sun Ce, Zhou Yu, and one other person who no one knows, but seeing that there is a character in the banner in the army, it is speculated that Zhang Xiu may also come." ”

"Zhang Xiu?" Guo Jia thought for a while: "The lord said that they first appeared in Donghai County, and we did get news before that Zhou Yu, Sun Ce and others were ordered to go to Qingzhou. ”

So from Qingzhou to Xuzhou, what can be done to bypass Li Dian who is stuck in the middle?

Cheng Yu exclaimed: "Waterway! They came from the sea! ”

There is no other explanation.

But from the sea, it is too risky and too unbelievable.

Most of the wars in this era were still confined to the interior, and the so-called water wars were basically a dozen fights on the Yangtze River, and the sea was an untouchable world.

The sea is unpredictable, and its danger is far from being comparable to those inland rivers, even those of the Yangtze River.

Hearing Cheng Yu's answer, Cao Cao frowned: "Didn't you say that there is no water army in the state?" ”

Not only is there no navy, but there are no big ships for water battles!

It is also because of this that everyone thinks that it is impossible for Su Yunqing to walk on the water, she does not have this condition.

At this time, Guo Jia shook his head: "Lord, this is not a water war, it's just a waterway, so the big ship of the water war doesn't need to be considered, because Su Yunqing is not fighting, she is just transporting people over, not to mention that from Qingzhou to Xuzhou, even if it is from the sea, it is not necessary to go too far near the sea, and the danger is not as great as the far sea." ”

Many coastal fishermen will also row small boats to go out to fish, even if Su Yunqing's is not a big boat, but it must be no problem to be stronger than the fishermen, as for the number of boats, with Mi Zhu's full support, Su Yunqing never needs to consider this kind of problem.

At this time, Guo Jia remembered in a trance that there was intelligence at that time that Mi Zhu's younger brother Mi Fang also went to Qingzhou with Sun Ce and others.

It seems that this ship transporting more than 10,000 people may really have a lot of effort from the Mi family.

As for the danger of going to sea, it is true that it is dangerous to take this road, in terms of the technology of this era, entering the sea is an adventure, but as Guo Jia said, it is just from the coast, and it does not go deeper, and the army used is likely to be Zhang Xiu's 10,000 soldiers with water experience, which can be said to minimize the danger.

Although there is a risk, this risk is negligible compared to Xuzhou.

Thinking about this, Cao Cao suddenly smiled: "I will definitely lose this battle." ”

Yes, Cao Cao knew that he had no chance, Xuzhou was lost, he was attacked by the enemy on his back, and losing had become inevitable.

But Cao Cao had to admit one thing: "I didn't lose unjustly." ”

He originally thought that Lu Bu was the suspicious soldier used to attract people, and he was the bait, but now it seems that he is probably not, Su Yunqing is.

In other words, Su Yunqing and Lu Bu combined have a total of nearly 200,000 troops.

200,000 people!

On the opposite side, not only Su Yunqing personally marched, but also 200,000 troops lined up, saying that this is not the main force, saying that this is not the main direction of attack, who would believe it?

No one believed it.

But the truth is, it's not.

Su Yunqing's 200,000 people were placed there to lure the enemy.

Cao Cao let out a sigh: "Just talk about this courage, I'm not as good as her." ”

This kind of thing, Cao Cao thinks he can't do.

With an army of 200,000, how much does it cost to spend just grain and grass logistics every day? Not to mention anything else.

Cao Cao also led the troops, he knew too well what 200,000 people meant, so he never thought that this was just Su Yunqing's trick to lure the enemy, and it couldn't be a lure to the enemy!

The army of 200,000 is only used to attract his attention, don't say that Cao Cao is too stupid to be fooled, who will not be fooled by this kind of thing?

People who can do this kind of thing not only need to dare to think, but also dare to do it, and people who are not bold enough will not be able to make such a decision.

And Su Yunqing promised to let him concentrate his forces or something, I am afraid it was also to make his rear empty and facilitate the actions of Zhou Yu and Sun Ce.

But one thing is for sure, either way.

"There is only one person in the world who can do this kind of thing."

Cao Cao couldn't do it himself, and he also believed that except for Su Yunqing, no one in the world dared to do such a thing.

But Su Yunqing did it, so this time she won, and she won thoroughly.

Cao Cao knew that his loss to Su Yunqing was not only a loss for the army, but also a loss for this courage.

Originally, Cao Cao poured all his strength into the three states and personally went to the front line to participate in the battle, which was already a matter that required great courage, but now it seems that he is not as good as Su Yunqing.

Cheng Yu was also very emotional: "Back then, I felt that this style of acting really didn't look like a woman, but now it seems that there is no need to say this at all." ”

Does he care if he is a woman or a man?

There is no man in the world who can do such a thing.

Cao Cao stood up: "Then we are now facing a problem, is it war or peace?" ”

This is already a euphemism, but in fact, Cao Cao is simply asking whether to continue to fight or surrender.

Needless to say, the result of the battle is just defeat, and it is easier to surrender directly.

Cao Cao said: "With my understanding of Su Yunqing, whether it is war or peace, she will never embarrass you, and will even reuse you, now you can tell me what you think." ”

Cao Cao is not a lie, Su Yunqing is not a person who likes to kill prisoners, and she cherishes the talents who defected to her after the defeat.

As for Cao Cao, no matter what, Cao Cao at least has no worries about his life.

Now even Yuan Shao is alive and well, there is no reason why Su Yunqing can't tolerate Cao Cao, of course, the premise of Su Yunqing's tolerance is that you have to be honest and don't make small moves below.

Needless to say, this kind of thing is a small move or something in private, and no one can bear it if you change it.

But when Cao Cao asked this, no one spoke, and even his group of strategists reacted very uniformly this time.

…… I'll just watch you pretend to be forced like this.

Cao Cao: "......"

Well, he admitted, he wanted to fight.

Although what Su Yunqing did this time made Cao Cao feel that he was indeed unjustly lost, this did not mean that Cao Cao was willing to wait for death.

Cao Cao was never such a person.

Seeing that Cao Cao's expression was a little unbearable, Xun Yu, who had always been very considerate of Cao Cao, spoke: "Lord, Liu Bei is still in the camp at this time. ”

Xun Yu was reminding Cao Cao that they seemed to have no way out, but they could use Liu Bei to find a way.

Cao Cao nodded to Xun Yu, well, he was grateful to Xun Yu.

It's still a good text, very considerate, and won't deliberately cause trouble for him.

As for Guo Jia, who said that after saying 'I'll just watch you quietly and pretend to be forced', when Cao Cao was embarrassed, his eyes were full of 23333 barrage, Cao Cao decided not to care about him.

Cao Cao soon went to find Liu Bei, and Cao Cao's meaning was quite simple to sum up.

Xuande, you see that I am really dangerous here, although you are here to reinforce me, but you and Su Yunqing have no grudges, now Su Yunqing's target is me, you might as well run first, leave me alone.

Cao Cao's words are high-sounding, but in fact he knows that Liu Bei will not run, even if Liu Bei wants to run, then he has to fight a battle first, and there is no reason to leave Cao Cao here and run away by himself without fighting.

Since then, Liu Bei has not been famous for his benevolence and righteousness, and it is estimated that this reputation of benevolence and righteousness will have to be replaced by selling his teammates.

This is precisely what Liu Bei absolutely cannot accept.

Sure enough, when Cao Cao proposed to let Liu Bei run first, Liu Bei immediately objected and said that he would not run.

Cao Cao was very moved on the surface, but in fact......

What you want is that Liu Bei doesn't run!

If Liu Bei doesn't run, Cao Cao will have hope.

Liu Bei really can't help Cao Cao defeat Su Yunqing, but he can keep Cao Cao from being completely finished.
