"Do you have a plan to retreat from the enemy?"

In the Prime Minister's Mansion, there was only Cao Cao's voice, and no one answered Cao Cao.

Before Cao Cao was transferred to Baima Yanjin Guandu, there were already more than 100,000 people.

But in the end, there were less than 10,000 people who returned to Xudu.

Now that Zhao Hui's army is attacking again, how to resist it?

Cao Cao has failed now, and this time he has no chance.

This time, Zhao Huidu did not need to attack Xudu, he only needed to be surrounded on all sides, and after a few months of siege, he would be starved of food in the city of Xudu.

Guandu is a military city, there are no civilians in the city, all of them are soldiers.

And in Xudu, there are hundreds of thousands of civilians in the city, and these people eat, drink, and Lazar, but they have to be supplied from outside the city.

The food hoarded in the city was enough for the ministers and soldiers of the court to eat and drink for half a year.

But the people could not, and they did not have so much food in their homes.

In less than a month, there will be chaos in the city.

In the face of the pressure brought by Zhao Hui, even Cao Cao didn't know how to resist it now.

In the first battle of Guandu, almost all the men and horses were lost in the end, but the United States and Europe achieved Cao Cao's goal.

Now Zhao Hui still has 90,000 people in his hands.

And Liaohua, who has been in Taishan County, has also advanced towards Xudu with an army of 50,000.

In Cao Cao's hands, there are only 20,000 people now, how can he fight?

And now on the way from Zhao Hui to Xudu, there is no danger to defend, and there is a flat river.

Cao Cao didn't even want to find a place to ambush Zhao Hui, but he couldn't find anything good.

"Let's disperse."

Cao Cao didn't really want to know the way from these people.

To make suggestions, he still has to rely on Xun You, Cheng Yu and others.

After everyone else retreated, Cao Cao called Xun You and the others.

"Gongda, do you have a solution?"

"Give up Xu Du." Xun Yu Dao.

"Give up Xu Du, where can I go?"

Cao Cao didn't think that although Yuzhou is now his territory, if Zhao Hui wants to deal with him, even if he goes to Yuzhou, Zhao Hui can also chase Yuzhou.

And other places are now someone else's territory.

Xuzhou, Lu Bu won't let him go.

Jingzhou, Liu Biao will not agree.

Where can Cao Cao go?

Going to Kansai?

Although there is Ma Teng Han Sui leading the way over there, in general, it is still a plate of loose sand, and Cao Cao's chance is indeed relatively large.

But on the Kansai side, if you want to dominate the world in the future, it is not so easy.

The land over there is sparsely populated and the products are scarce, even if Cao Cao has been hiding in Kansai for more than ten years, the gap in strength will only get bigger and bigger with Zhao Hui.

If Cao Cao went to Guanxi, with his ability, he would naturally be able to gain a firm foothold and subdue those large and small tribes.

But if he wants to dominate the world and return to Kanto, then he can only wait for Zhao Hui's side to give him an opportunity.

When there is a change in the world, Cao Cao can send troops from Guanxi.

Otherwise, he can only stay in Kansai for the rest of his life, and he will be buried in Kansai when he dies.

This was Cao Cao's last choice.

As a last resort, Cao Cao will not choose this path.

Xun You didn't answer, he knew that Cao Cao also knew in his heart, he said it, just to see if Cao Cao would choose.

"If you don't give up Xu Du, then you can only fight against the water."

It's easy to say, but it's hard to do.

It's not that the main general says that he will fight against the water, and the soldiers below will fight against the water.

If the morale is not gathered, it will only be crushed by a single blow.

It takes all of us to be on the same page.

There is no retreat, it just makes it easier to reach the same belief.

What's more, the Cao army in the city now is not without a way out.

At least the path of surrender has always existed.

As long as they surrender, they are at least guaranteed to live.

Zhao Hui has not yet done anything to kill the prisoners, and most of the prisoners have been sent to reclaim the fields to build bridges and pave the way.

Therefore, it is very difficult for Cao Cao to fight against the water.

Especially since he has just escaped from the defeat of Guandu.

Now is the time when his prestige is at its lowest.

The soldiers below don't trust him as much as they used to.

"It's easier said than done." Cao Cao sighed.

Cheng Yu said: "Zhao Hui is still thousands of miles away, and we designed an ambush for this thousand miles." ”

"Where is the ambush?"

It is very difficult to ambush Zhao Hui.

Cao Cao had ambushed several times before, but he did not get any benefits.

On the contrary, he lost his own troops.

As for the ambush of Zhao Hui, Cao Cao now has little hope.

Let's not talk about the Zhao army along the way, there is no good ambush point.

Even if there were, with Zhao Hui's care, he would bypass these places, or send someone to investigate first, and he would not enter easily.

Wanting to ambush Zhao Hui successfully, Cao Cao felt that he still encouraged his soldiers to make it more likely that they would succeed in a battle against the water.

Xun Yu said: "These two are not very sure, now Zhao Hui is powerful, if you want to block Zhao Hui, you can only unite with Liu Biao Sun Ce." ”

"Liu Biao, the fox, is already old, and he only cares about his one-third of an acre of land in Jingzhou. Sun Ce was injured in an assassin attack and is still recuperating. Cheng Yu said.

Sun Ce was assassinated by assassins, and Cheng Yu and the others still don't know that it was actually Cao Cao's doing.

I don't know yet, Xi Zhicai is the general of Faqiu.

Xun You only sensed that Cao Cao had cultivated a group of people who might be digging ancient tombs for gold and silver.

In this regard, he did not directly ask Cao Cao.

He disagreed, but he couldn't disagree either.

Compared to giving up Xu Du, and ambushing Zhao Hui. Now uniting with Liu Biao Sun Ce, although it is also difficult, it is the most promising now.

"Who wants to go to Jingzhou Yangzhou?" Cao Cao asked.

"I'll go to Jingzhou." Zhong said.

"Then I'll go to Yangzhou." Cui Yan pleaded.

Whether it is to unite Liu Biao or Sun Ce, it is now the top priority.

There is no room for success and no failure.

People who don't have faith don't dare to ask for their lives at all.

"This time, it's up to the two gentlemen."

Zhong Xuan and Cui Yan's abilities, Cao Cao was very satisfied.

If these two people can't do it, even if he sends others, he may not be able to convince Liu Cousin Sun Ce.

Cao Cao asked Zhong Xuan and Cui Yan to bring generous gifts.

On this trip, they not only wanted to persuade Liu Biao and Sun Ce, but also those military generals under Liu Biao and Sun Ce.

Those people are to be persuaded, and even persuading those people is more important than convincing Liu Cousin Sun Ce.

If Zhong Miao can subdue the Cai brothers of the Kuai family in Jingzhou, then he doesn't have to go to see Liu Biao.

If Cui Yan can convince Zhang Zhao and Zhang Hong of Yangzhou, as well as Zhou Yu, then it is equivalent to convincing Sun Ce.

Zhong Xuan and Cui Yan each took a team of guards, took countless treasures, and went to Yangzhou, Jingzhou.

Cao Cao is now short of troops, but he has the will to dig the ancient tomb for him, and he still has a lot of gold and silver treasures.

The recruitment of new recruits has not stopped.

It's just that fewer and fewer people come every day.

An army of 100,000 followed Cao Cao out, and several thousand people returned.

Even though the salaries of the recruits are very high now, they can no longer tempt the common people.

Those who couldn't survive had already been recruited into the army.

Those who are still at home are barely able to survive.

Unless it was Cao Cao who began compulsory conscription.

Otherwise, he would not have had a supply of troops now.
