Yuan Shao's death made the war in the Kanto region suddenly no longer have any suspense. Full/Ben/Small/Say/Net

Cao Cao pursed his lips and looked at the battle reports transmitted from all over the place, the gloom on his face became thicker and thicker, and the whole person was like a puppet.

A month, only a month, Cao Cao found that he was powerless to return to the sky.

"In mid-August, when Zhao Zhao was pacifying the rebellion of the Zhen clan of Zhongshan State, he was ambushed by Zhang's Xuanfeng army. After the Battle of Zhongrenting, almost all the troops were wiped out, and only a few hundred remnants fled back to Xindu. Zhang took Changshan Kingdom by chance, and Xian Yufu and his son then surrendered. ”

Full of emotionless reading the battle report in his hand, he didn't seem to be aware of the gloom on Cao Cao's face.

In the hall of the palace, the ministers of civil and military affairs were silent, quietly listening to the indifferent recitation of the full favor one by one, watching Cao Cao's reaction.

"At the end of August, Dong's three armies of trolls advanced in three ways and occupied most of Jizhou.

On the way back to Xindu, Yuan Tan was intercepted by Dong General Liyi's backing army and suffered heavy casualties...... Yuan Tan himself was beheaded by Yue Xi.

Early September...... Recruit in Xindu, lead the troops to surrender......"

Manpet tried to read in an extremely calm tone. But gradually, his voice began to tremble. In one month, in just one month, Dong took the entire Jizhou in his hands. The three armies of Xuanfeng and Trolls are heading towards Yanzhou.

Today, Dong has gathered nearly 500,000 troops in Yanzhou and Yuzhou.

If the three armies of the trolls and the Xuanfeng army also arrived, then Dong's total strength would reach 800,000, far from being comparable to Cao Cao's.

800,000 troops!

That's a number that scares everyone.

Many people have become human faces. Bow your head in front of the hall and ponder. As for what they were thinking. Only they know.

Cao Cao raised his head......

"Princess, the situation is terrible, isn't it?"

His eagle-like eyes swept over the halls, and he smiled bitterly, "But I can guarantee that this is definitely not the worst news.

Keep reading, Berning! ”

Man Zhong glanced at Cao Cao, and didn't know what his idea was in Cao Cao's heart at this time.

"At the beginning of September, Liaodong guarded Pan Zhang. Glue from the sea, landed at Hanting, captured Duchang (now Changyi, Shandong), and cut off the retreat of Guanhai. Zheng Hun tries to rescue Guan Hai, but is ambushed by Pan Zhang on the way. The Liaodong general Ling Cao ordered his son Ling Cao to hold Yangqiu Mountain, and then attacked Tingxian (now Laiyang, Shandong) and occupied Jimo. Now. The Liaodong Navy has been integrated into one place, and it will be in charge of Hai ......"

Man Chong raised his head, glanced at Cao Cao, who was expressionless, gritted his teeth and said, "General Guan Hai soldiers and horses, besiege in the area of Lu Township......"

Cao Cao added: "Lu Yi's Beiwei army has invaded Pingyuan County, Zheng Hun has been defeated in a row, and has retreated to Licheng, and the form is precarious. ”

After speaking, he stood up and said word by word: "But I don't know where the princess is now." What do you think? ”

There was silence in the hall.

Cao Cao said: "The situation in the eastern part of the country has been eroded to the point of no return. The army of the wretched man is approaching, and our retreat is becoming less and less. Three days ago, Dong sent my yellow beard to Kang's father in an attempt to say that he would surrender to me. Presumably, all the princes have also received letters from their families. ”

In the hall, there was still silence, suffocating silence.

Cao Cao took out a letter and shook it towards everyone. "Dong Xiping asked me to surrender, saying that he was willing to recommend me as prime minister. Hehe, this guy really looks up to me...... Presumably, in the family letter with the princes, Dong Xiping also put forward many tempting conditions. ”

Although no one stood up to speak. But silence is the best answer.

"I refused!"

Cao Cao said: "Me and Dong." I made friends in Luoyang back then, and we got along very well. I've wanted it in my life. He has done it for me, and I have no regrets. So I asked Huang Xu'er to write back to Dong and tell him: If I Cao Mengde surrenders, even if I continue to be the prime minister, can Cao Mengde still be Cao Mengde? I am very happy to have such an opponent as Dong in my life...... So I'm going to fight him to the death. ”

Speaking of this, Cao Cao paused.

"However, this is a fight between me and Dong after all. Until the last moment, there is no possibility of stopping without distinguishing between life and death. If you don't want to fight any more, let's go...... Dong Xiping is a promise, and if he says it, there will be absolutely no possibility of repentance.

From today onwards, I will open the Kang Father checkpoint, and those who are willing to defect to Dong can leave with peace of mind within three days.

But after three days, those who remain, I hope to work with me. Although the war is rotten, it is not irreparable. ”

Above the lobby, there was an uproar.

Cao Peng stood up and roared angrily: "The prime minister treats me like a mountain, how can we turn our backs on the Lord and seek glory?" Whoever dares to retreat, I will not spare him! ”

"Cao Peng, step aside."

Cao Cao shouted angrily, and Cao Peng reluctantly retreated.

"I have ordered Zheng Hun to retreat to Taishan County. Next, it's time for the princes to choose...... Where to go, there is no way to stop it. ”

After Cao Cao finished speaking, he flicked his sleeves and turned into the inner hall.

Man Pet and Xun Yu glanced at each other and hurriedly chased after them.

In the lobby, everyone was preoccupied, or they were discussing with each other, or they got up and walked out of the lobby.

Man Zhong chased after him to the back hall, and asked with some annoyance: "Lord, why is this so?" ”

Cao Cao seemed to have become very relaxed. The gloom on his face was gone, and he showed a smile, "Berning, Gongda, you sit first." ”

After the two of them sat down, Cao Cao spoke: "You may not understand why I said those words. It's not that I want to, but I have to. We retreated from Chengyang to Kang's father, Yuan Shao was defeated, and Qingzhou was in danger...... In addition, Liu Bei's soldiers and horses were also trapped in Yingchuan. Seeing that winter is coming, our situation will become more and more difficult. That's when we need to work together. ”

Xun You seemed to understand a little, and nodded thoughtfully.

But the full pet still didn't understand. "But that's the same thing you said before?" he asked. And what does it matter? ”

"Berning, you can see the situation today. Many people's families have fallen into the hands of Dong, and the situation is so critical, everyone's heart is already unstable!

I want to fight Dong in a decisive battle, but I need to stabilize the rear.

But these people have become an unstable factor, and it is difficult for me to control. Hey, it's going to rain. Mother wants to get married...... Since everyone's minds can't be grouped, they simply let them go...... It's not a good thing for us to do that. ”

"Lord ......"

Cao Cao gritted his teeth and said softly: "To be honest, I received a letter from Liu Bei. In the letter, he offered to join forces with me to resist Dong. Yanzhou has little to rely on. We need time, we need space, to deal with Dong...... We need Xuzhou.

I have secretly ordered Zheng Hun to bring the Tuntian army of Taishan County over at all costs. There are about 200,000 or so.

Now, the Dong family's soldiers and horses in Jingnan are restrained by Zhou Yu, and it is difficult to exert them with all their might. Liu Cousin Sun Ce also agreed to join forces with us. Sun Ce has begun to gather Jiangdong soldiers and horses to come to Xuzhou to join us. Liu Biao. It will hold back the army of Shamoko, so that we do not need to worry about the enemy.

Berning, Gongda!

I need time now.

When the time comes, the four of us will gather together, and we may be able to duel with Dong. If we win this battle, we will have the capital to negotiate with Dong. But if we fail, we're going to lose. So...... I need your help now. ”

Cao Cao is making friends with the full pet Xun!

The two glanced at each other and gradually understood Cao Cao's intentions.

It's not so much a laissez-faire as a bluff and a stall.

I believe that those who defected to Dong will relay Cao Cao's words in the past. So. Dong Dingran will be cautious, so as to buy Cao Cao time to mobilize troops and horses. Of course, this is just an outline, and the specific implementation still needs to be pondered in the subtleties.

Full Pet thought about it. got up and said, "Prime Minister." I am willing to go to Taishan County to assist Zheng Hun. Bring the soldiers and horses back, and drag Dong by the way. ”

"This ......"

Cao Cao hesitated a little.

However, he is not distrustful. On the contrary, he attaches great importance to full favors. Lu Su is dead, and Xun is also dead...... There are fewer and fewer people around you who can be used and trusted.

Go to Taishan County and drag the soldiers and horses of Dongdi?

It may seem easy to say, but it's a life-or-death task. Once the disguise is seen through by Dong, he will die and have no place to be buried.

Cao Cao, reluctant!

But it seems that in addition to being full of favors, he really can't find someone who can be trusted to take on this task.

Cheng Yu, who had accompanied Liu Bei's envoy, secretly went to Xuzhou; Xun Yu? Cao Cao is really inseparable from Xun Yu by his side now.

Even Yi and others, Cao Cao could no longer believe it.

Although Yi has followed him for a long time, even longer than Cheng Yuxun. But this person's eyesight is very lively, and his mind is also very rabbit. It's hard to say what choice the Iraqis will make when the mountains and rivers are exhausted. Cao Cao couldn't believe such a person.

"Berning, it's very dangerous to go to Mount Tai." Cao Cao shook his favored hand, "I'll let Cao Peng go with you, you can drag it out, you can't drag it, don't fight hard with Dong." You can escape into the mountains, rely on the terrain of Taishan County, and Dong to maneuver. If it really doesn't work, I also hope that you don't abandon this body easily. I will arrange for Liang Mao to try to pick you up in Wenyang......

As long as it can be delayed until the beginning of spring next year, it will be considered a success.

If you can't delay it, as long as you can get back safely, it's a victory. ”

With tears in his eyes, he bowed down, "I wish to smear my liver and brain to repay the prime minister's love today." ”

After saying that, Man Pet turned around and left. Cao Cao told Cao Peng again, and this can be regarded as calming down.

After Man Chong and Cao Peng left, Xun You suddenly asked, "Prime Minister, Liu Bei...... Can you believe it? This person is scheming and too cunning. ”

Cao Cao sighed, "How could I not know? But in today's situation, we have no choice. Cooperation is beneficial, and division is harmful. Now, we can only have a few chances of winning by cooperating with Liu Bei and Sun Ce. Dong Xiping's power is getting bigger and bigger, and we have no choice. ”

Xun You also fell into deep thought.

"Prime Minister, can Liu Biao really hold Shamoke back?"

Cao Cao said: "As long as Shamoke can't solve Zhou Yu's army, then it is impossible for him to let go of his hands and feet and go all out to deal with Liu Jingsheng."

And as long as Liu Biao can live, it will be difficult for Shamoke to easily break through the Jingbei defense line.

Gongda, we're gambling right now. I've had good luck before, and hopefully this time, my luck will follow me. ”

Xun You nodded, silent.

In fact, in the hearts of both him and Cao Cao, there is a question: Liu Biao, how long can he support it?
