Zhang Xiu didn't know that Zhang Fei would attack Ruyin on his own, which was somewhat unkind, but the return of Lu Xun and Tong Fei strengthened Zhang Xiu's determination to attack alone.

Liu Bei has annexed the entire territory of Xuzhou and taken the strategic place of Mount Tai, but he has not gained an inch of land in Yuzhou.

The attack on Ruyin went well, and Cao Renjun, who was inferior in troops and extremely short of food and grass, only symbolically resisted for a few battles, and then surrendered several cities, including Qiyang, to Zhang Xiujun. However, Zhang Xiu did not intend to be satisfied with just one Ruyin County, and continued to lead his troops to advance after taking Qiyang, and the troops were directed at the county where Cao Ren retreated.

……

Cao's Group is in a hurry on all sides!

In the northeast, Liu Bei and Yuan Tan's combined forces occupied Mount Tai and other places, although Zang Ba, the governor of Qingxu appointed by Cao Cao, still insisted on fighting in the mountains, but once Liu Bei and Yuan Tan completed the main force, the remnants of Zang Ba's Taishan army could only do the mantis arm as a car.

To the east, Zhang Fei and Zhang Xun's tens of thousands of allied troops stationed in Xiaopei, looking at the hinterland of the Central Plains, Liang State.

In the southeast, Zhang Xiu finally showed his fangs, took advantage of the weakness to take down Ruyin, not to mention, and entered the county.

In the north, during the months of Guandu's stalemate, the battle situation gradually became unfavorable to Cao's army. After the battle of attrition in the position, Cao's army's rations were increasingly consumed under Yuan's grinding and crushing style. More than 200,000 Cao troops took more than half of the wounded, and the bleak prospects of the war made the main force of the Cao army continue to desert, and the morale is approaching the freezing point. On the contrary, the morale of the 800,000 Yuan army is becoming more and more vigorous, and it has already won the army.

To the west, the Guanyou princes who had been appeased before saw the decline of the Cao clan's power, and they were also ready to move. Every day, military reports from all over the country that privately hoard grain and gather troops are sent to Zhong Xuan, the captain of Si Li, but capable ministers such as Zhong Xuan can only sit in Chang'an City and sigh.

To the south, even Liu Biao, who has always been weak, seized the opportunity. After finding out that most of the Cao army in Wancheng was transferred to Guandu to support the military situation, Liu Biao decisively sent an army to attack Nanyang, relying on sufficient money, food, and armor, and actually took Nanyang County back!

In just a few months, the territory controlled by Cao Cao's army has shrunk by more than one-third, and the most important thing is that the main army under Cao Cao's personal command has finally shown an invincible defeat after nearly half a year of continuous fierce fighting! Although Cao Cao himself had said several times that if there was enough grain and grass, he would be able to hold on for another half a year, but the reality was that Yuan Shao had grasped the Achilles heel of Cao Jun in terms of grain and grass.

The main force is invincible, the situation is urgent on all sides, the situation can be said to be critical to the last moment, and even Xu Du, who has always been free from war, is calm and peaceful, and there is an undercurrent surging!

Xuchang, Sikong Fu.

After Cao Cao was appointed as Sikong, the major military affairs were first sent to Sikong Mansion for Cao Cao to see, and only after Cao Cao's instructions were sent from Sikong Mansion to Xudu Palace by Emperor Xian. Of course, this "eye" of Emperor Xian is just a simple glance, flipping through it to see what it looks like and going through a procedure. Although Cao Cao's approach is very rebellious, even Dong Cheng's old ministers are all blind and passable, as long as it is not too ugly, you must know that when Dong Zhuo was in power, Emperor Xian sometimes couldn't see all kinds of reports.

It has been nearly half a year since Cao Cao left Xudu, but the daily reports on important military and political affairs in various places are still sent to Sikong Mansion every day. Here, Cao Cao entrusted Xun Yu, the mastermind of important military affairs, to decide.

Although Xun Yu has done his best to dispatch all the grain and grass from various states and counties to the front line, although even Xu Du has had to follow Zhang Xiu's Huainan in the past month to implement a certain degree of grain rationing system, although even Cao Cao himself understands that the supply of grain and grass has already reached the limit, but Cao Cao still sends people to Xu Du every few days to urge grain.

It doesn't matter if there is no food to urge, the key is that you must not rush it. Although this hope is already vain, if you don't do this, then the breath that you have insisted on from the beginning of the year to the present but still persists will be completely dissipated.

If you can't persevere, you can persevere, not you can't! This is the common belief in the hearts of Cao Cao and Xun Yu at this moment.
