Although Cheng Yu changed into clean clothes, the gloomy look on his face remained unchanged, and he sighed: "When Zhang He was sent out, it really made the lord lose a lot of fierce generals!" ”

Xu Huang said to Cheng Yu: "Master Cheng, I don't know what you think of the current situation?" ”

Cheng Yu raised his eyes and glanced at Xu Huang and Cao Hongdao: "Both of them are generals who have followed Duke Wei for many years, do you think Xuchang can be recaptured?" ”

Cheng Yu didn't answer, but asked the two instead.

The two looked at each other, not knowing how to answer. This question is really difficult to answer, if you say that you can't take it back, it means that you yourself have been cowardly, this is a taboo for the generals, but to say that you can take it back, but today's battle, the defeat is so miserable, what kind of face, is that both of them bowed their heads and were silent.

Cheng Yu smiled bitterly: "Actually, the two generals don't have to shy away from anything, there is no lord here, there is nothing wrong with saying anything." ”

Cao Hong glanced up at Cheng Yu and saw that the other party happened to look at him, so he said: "Liu Yong is now surrounded by generals like forests, strategists like rain, and momentum like the sky. ”

Xu Huang said: "When Huang led his troops to leave Chang'an, I heard that Wei Yan in Hanzhong was also sharpening his sword Huo Huo, intending to send troops to Wuguan, and now that Xuchang has fallen, it is undoubtedly a major blow to the lord, plus Hebei has just been pacified, the situation is unstable, and the morale of the whole army is low, and it is not easy to recapture Xuchang." ”

Cheng Yu nodded, and still recognized the vision of the two, and said: "Hebei is unstable, although Xiliang Ma Teng and Han Sui have just been persuaded by Zhong Xuan to send troops to pacify Hedong, but because Liu Yong sent troops to Xuchang, they all quit their troops and are waiting, if this battle is not won, it will inevitably wave troops eastward, and even join forces to attack Chang'an, Sun Quan is eyeing Jiangdong again, especially after occupying Hefei, it can be said that he is just waiting for an opportunity, he will immediately wave his army north and attack Xuzhou, and Duke Wei will be defeated. Even Gongsun Du of Liaodong, who had just surrendered, could rebel repeatedly. Wind and rain, hardship! ”

Cheng Yu's words made the two of them look painful again, none of them could have imagined that Cao Cao was defeated after sweeping Lu Bu and leveling the Central Plains, and Guandu defeated the strongest Yuan Shao in the first battle, but he was slapping the ground, which is really a great irony.

"What Wei Gong lacks most now is time, as long as he has time, he can stabilize Hebei and occupy the four states of Hebei and the six states of Qing and Yan, and he will definitely be able to recover quickly!" Cheng Yu's eyes suddenly turned cold, and he said coldly, "At that time, just like Yuan Shao at the beginning, he can lead a million army, wave the army south, capture the Central Plains in one fell swoop, pacify Xiliang, go straight to Jingzhou, and beat Liu Yong back to his original form!" Let him die in Yizhou! ”

Xu Huang and Cao Hong's eyes suddenly flashed, but they quickly disappeared.

Cheng Yu suddenly said: "General Xu, for today's plan, the morale of our army has fallen to the extreme, and it is not suitable for another battle." Duke Wei has already filmed Xu Chu, Han Qiong, and Zhang Xiu to lead an army of 60,000 to the south, and they have crossed the Yellow River. If you have something important, you need to go to Yecheng immediately to meet Wei Gong! ”

The two didn't understand what Cheng Yufa was nervous about leaving suddenly, but they had seen a lot of things like literati who suddenly had an idea on a whim, and they didn't say much, they just sent a team of people Ma Ming Cheng Yu to escort him to Yecheng, and he was defeated and was no longer able to fight, so he was ready to lead the army to Xu Chu's army to converge.

In Yecheng, an inner room that originally belonged to Yuan Shao's General's Mansion, Cao Cao sat on the main seat with a haggard face, holding his head in pain. Next to him, Xun You, Jia Xu, and Xu You each sat on the side and worried, but they couldn't do anything. Cao Cao's head wind disease has no one to cure, although Cao Cao has killed several imperial doctors when he was crazy in pain, but he knows very well in his heart that it is not a problem of their medical skills, but that there is really no good way for his disease, especially in such a cold north at this moment, it is even more sleepless day and night.

"Gongda, how is the war in Xudu?" Although the capital has been moved to Yecheng, the Son of Heaven Liu Xiehe and the harem of the people, as well as the officials of the court and the central government, have basically moved out, but the war is what he is most concerned about.

Xun You was a little depressed, and didn't know how to say: "I don't know!" ”

Cao Cao suddenly raised his head, stared at Xun You with blood-red eyes, and said sharply: "Gongda really doesn't know? ”

Xun You was startled, and his heart beat wildly a few times before he calmed down, and said with a wry smile: "Xu Du...... Xu Du has fallen and is occupied by Liu Yong. ”

Cao Cao suddenly asked eagerly, "What about Zhongde?" And Zilian, where are they now, do you have any news of them? ”

Xun You replied again: "According to the report of the spies, they broke out of the city after the city was broken, and there was no more news. Presumably they will come to see the lord. ”

Cao Cao muttered to himself: "Yes, no news!" No news! No news is good news, hahaha......"

The three of them looked at Cao Cao, who was sometimes awake and sometimes confused like a nightmare, and couldn't help but feel a little numb in their scalps, and they didn't know if he was really like this or pretended, but none of them dared to reveal the slightest bit of this thought, but buried it deep in their hearts.

"Gongda, Wenhe, Ziyuan, you are all great talents, you tell me, what will happen if they can't take a lot this time?"

Xun You glanced at the other two worriedly, showing a hint of timidity in his usual Mu Ran's expression, and said: "With such a man, there are generals like Xu Huang, Xu Chu, Han Qiong, Zhang Xiu, and Le Jin, where can the army not be attacked, lord, you are too worried!" ”

Cao Cao suddenly said angrily: "Xun You, stop me!" You are not as good as your uncle, although Wen Ruo is just guilty, but at least he will tell the truth, you are not as good as him! ”

Xun You was suddenly a little embarrassed and silent.

"Wen told you!" Cao Cao suddenly pointed at Jia Xu.

Jia Xu smiled slightly and said: "Duke Wei, Liu Yongfei is not better than others, once Xuchang falls, it is indeed difficult to regain it, but this battle still has to be fought, otherwise Duke Wei wants to make a comeback, I am afraid it will be ......."

"Hahaha......" Cao Cao suddenly hugged his head and laughed wildly, "Jia Wenhe, Jia Wenhe, they all said that you are only eight high, and sure enough, you can see it clearly." Indeed, this battle must not be won, but Cao knows that such a result is still going to fight, and if he wants to win Xu Du again, he must fight, otherwise no one in the world will remember me Cao Cao! ”

Although Cao Cao was crazy, these words were indeed magnificent, and the momentum was like a rainbow, not at all like the words of a person with a headache, Xun You nodded suddenly.

Xu You suddenly shook his head and sneered, "Meng De, you are just too persistent, everything needs your body to recover, and now that you have lost Xu Du, it is difficult to dominate the world!" ”
