The strategy of exchanging space for time has been quite correct since ancient times. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

When the power was contracted at the beginning, although it was proposed by the lord Cao Mengde, Xun Yu, the first kobold military division, it was the counselor who agreed. At that time, Xun Yu also felt that it was good to pay attention to shrinking forces.

Concentrate all the soldiers, horses, supplies, and populations in a corner of Luoyang, which concentrates forces.

At that time, as long as they hold the Luoyang area, wait until the meteor shower is over, and wait until the demons and monsters no longer continue to descend in large numbers, they will be able to lead the army out of the customs and slowly recover those areas occupied by demons and monsters.

However, there is a premise for this strategy, that is, whether the freed up time can hold out until the end of the meteor shower.

Obviously, Cao Cao's time to free up his hands this time was not enough to support the end of the meteor shower. At this moment, listening to the meaning of the lord's words, it seems that he still wants to continue to retreat to the Tiger Prison Pass, but Xun Yu does not dare to agree again.

"Dare to ask the lord." Xun Yu asked.

"When we retreated to Luoyang, there were 10,000 bandits Chen Bing under Hangu Pass. Today, if we retreat to the Tiger Prison Pass again, will the bandits chase and kill the Tiger Prison Pass again? ”

"At that time, I am afraid that there will be more than 10,000 bandits under Chen Bing's pass."

"Moreover, looking at this posture, the meteor shower and the arrival of the monsters do not seem to be over in ten days and half a month. In this way, how many days can we hold on to the Tiger Prison Pass? ”

"If, by then, we can't even hold the Tiger Prison Pass, where should we retreat?"

"I'm afraid, the world is so big, there will be no place for us at that time!"

……

In fact, Xun Yu said, after Cao Cao thinks about it today, why don't you know?

It's just that it's one thing to know, but the reality is a dilemma. retreat, you can only retreat to the Tiger Prison Pass and hold on for a few more days; Continue to hold on, I am afraid that in another three or five days, the Hangu Pass will be broken.

I don't know what's going on, the strength of the bandits has improved in the past few days, and it seems to be very fast!

"At the beginning, if we didn't shrink our forces, whenever the bandit cottage came, we would have exterminated it in time, maybe we wouldn't have today's worries." Cao Cao felt a little emotional, but also a little regretful.

According to past examples, after the arrival of bandits, they must be exterminated as soon as possible, so as not to cause the result of raising bandits. When the power was shrinking at the beginning, who would have thought that the strength and number of bandits would grow so fast?

If you had persevered at the beginning, you would have been able to nip the plague of bandits in the bud if you couldn't say anything about today's banditry!

Xun Yu shook his head and said: "Although the lord's words are good, but the lord has not thought about it, if our strength is spread, I am afraid that we will be dragged down by these bandits and completely collapse, where is there still a situation of stalemate in Hangu Pass today?" ”

"According to rumors, Hao Meng sent the top generals under his command to patrol and suppress the four states in groups, which barely kept the peace of the four states of Qingyan and Xuyu. Even so, wasn't Dingtao City almost destroyed by the bandits? ”

"Under Hao Meng, there are dozens of super-first-class generals, although there are many generals under the command of the lord, there are very few top generals, and it is barely possible to suppress a corner of Luoyang, how can you suppress the entire Yongzhou?"

"What's more, we have many mountains here, and it is also a good place for bandit cottages to come!"

At this time, another wave of bandits attacked the city, and a new round of bandits was killed.

There are already several gaps in the Hangu Close, which cannot be repaired for the time being. Fortunately, the gaps were still high above the ground, and the bandits could not jump into the passes from these openings for a while.

However, it is obvious that in three or five days, these gaps will be expanded to the extent that the bandits can leap through them.

……

"So, according to Wen Ruo's opinion, what should we do?" Cao Cao asked.

This dilemma is the most torturous.

"Whether we stick to Hangu Pass or retreat to Tiger Prison Pass, we will definitely not be able to stop these bandits from wreaking havoc." Xun Yu touched his beard and said slowly: "So, the minister suggests, it's only right for us to ask for help from other princes!" ”

Help?

This path did not exist in Cao Cao's mind at all!

Gain, at this time, there are not many princes left in the territory of the Han Dynasty, and there are many filthy feelings between each other, can you not pull your hind legs is already righteous, and wants others to rescue?

Cao Mengde put himself in his shoes and thought, there will definitely be rescue, but most of them will take advantage of the fisherman!

Besides, at this time, where are there no demons and monsters raging in the world, and there are not necessarily a few princes in the world who can protect themselves, who can spare their hands to rescue others?

Cao Cao pondered for a while, and then muttered: "Yuan Benchu has the best relationship with me, if I ask him for help, he will definitely send troops to support him if he can." ”

"It's just that Yuan Benchu has just annexed most of Youzhou, and the stall is a little big, and the suppression of Jizhou and Youzhou may not be able to catch it at this time, but I'm afraid that even if we ask him for help, it's just trying to make people laugh."

"Liu Biao in Jingzhou, and Liu Zhang in Yizhou, they are all mountainous places, and most of them are too busy to take care of themselves at this time, how can they have the spare strength to rescue us?"

"As for Koto, alas, don't mention it!"

After Cao Cao finished speaking, he only heard Xun Yu shouting loudly and asked: "The lord has all the princes of the Quartet, why did he miss the hussar general Hao Meng?" ”

"In terms of today's princes, Hao Meng has the strongest strength, the largest territory, and the most top generals under his command."

"Moreover, so far, the four states of Qingyan, Xuyu and Henan are also the most peaceful. Even if there were many demons and monsters that came, they were suppressed by the generals under Hao Meng's command. ”

"In the past few days, according to the report of the spies, Guan Haiti's 50,000 troops guarded Wancheng, and only ordinary soldiers could keep the peace of more than ten counties in the north of Nanyang. Zhang Ji and Zhang Xiu suppressed Yanzhou, and also patrolled to the Tiger Prison from time to time. ”

"If there was no Guan Hai Town to guard Wancheng, if there was no Uncle Zhang Ji and nephew to patrol to Chenliu County, I am afraid that we would have been embattled a long time ago!"

Xun Yu shouted and asked, it was not an initiation, nor was it a warning bell.

After Xun Yu finished speaking, Cao Cao said calmly: "I have a life-and-death enmity with Hao Meng!" ”

……

In other words, the princes of the world are competing, who can have no great enmity between them?

It's just that, relatively speaking, there is indeed an inextricable life-and-death feud between Cao Mengde and Hao Meng.

I think that at the beginning, Hao Meng was just a wild military general under Chen Liujun, and the difference in status and status Cao Mengde was not only a cloud and mud difference, but the two sides talked very happily. Later, when the alliance of the princes of the Tiger Prison Pass crusaded against Dong Zhuo, Hao Meng also temporarily followed Cao Cao.

It's just that as Hao Meng became a prince, when he passed by Jiyin, he begged for 60,000 stone grains and grass, and a thorn was buried between the two sides, or in his heart Cao Mengde.

With the fermentation of time, with the rise of Hao Meng, this thorn has grown into today's towering tree. Then, there was a murder in Jinan Zhipan, and the siege on Hao Meng's wedding night!

It was also that siege that Hao Meng seemed to have completely turned against him Cao Mengde, and he sent troops to drive him Cao Cao out of Yanzhou after the year.

It was also that siege that Cao Cao lost his eldest son, not to mention, even Xu Chu, who had the highest strength under his command, and Xi Zhicai, who had a formation, also died early.

If Xu Chu is still there, if Xi Zhicai is still there, why is he Cao Mengde afraid of more than 10,000 bandits?

Therefore, he Cao Mengde was forced to this point today, and it was not because of Hao Meng, and now let him Cao Cao ask Hao Meng for help, not to mention this hatred, how can he Cao Cao open his mouth?
