"Report, Prime Minister, Luoyang Battle Report!"

In Chang'an City, Cao De stayed in the Prime Minister's Palace almost every day these days and didn't go out for a walk. Although Cao De did not send troops to help Cao Cao, Cao De has always been very concerned about the news in Luoyang.

"Duke Cao was defeated in Yuzhou, and the army retreated several hundred miles. As of the time of the report, only Xu Huang led more than 10,000 remnants of the army to defend Yingchuan, and General Xiahou did not know whether he was alive or dead......"

Li Dian captured Yuan Shang and Yuan Xi in Jizhou. As of the time of writing, Li Dian has led his army to attack Zhongshan, Changshan and other counties......"

Seeing this, Cao De couldn't help but sigh. Li Dian's victory is dispensable, but how can Yuzhou be defeated? It's Yuan Shang, and Yuan Xi is not as important as Yuzhou. However, what Cao De cares about most is, "Xiahoudun, I don't know if I live or die!" ”

Next

Yu Ban was defeated, and Cao Gong's army retreated to Kaifeng City. Liu Bei's army had landed on the west bank of the Langdang Canal. Cao Gong, precarious......"

With a "tearing" sound, the battle report was clutched into a paper ball by Cao De. "How is that possible?"

"Come on, immediately summon Jia Xu, Zhu Jun, Xu Shu, and Guo Jia to come to discuss the matter!"

At this time, since the Yellow River burst its banks, Cao De took the initiative to gather his advisers for the first time, and it was also military.

As Jia Xu and a few people entered the door of Cao De's study, the news that Cao De had convened important personnel to discuss the meeting spread. In the entire Prime Minister's Palace, all those who knew the news thought of a possibility almost at the same time, and the Prime Minister couldn't help it!

"Zilong, quickly prepare your battle armor, the prime minister is going to make a move!"

Zhang Fei's loud voice sounded in the fourth courtyard of the Prime Minister's Hall for the first time, and then the entire fourth courtyard was boiling!

"Where's my knife?"

"General, my subordinates have taken it for you to maintain!"

"My armor was just wiped last night, why can't I find it today?"

"General, my subordinates will give you ......"

……

For a time, there was chaos in the fourth courtyard. The sound of weapons and armor was everywhere. Then everyone wore battle armor and waist and crotch swords, and waited nervously for Cao De's summons in their own courtyards!

However, an hour has passed, two hours have passed, and ...... Zhang Fei's sweat has soaked the cowhide rope in the crack of the battle armor, where is Cao De's call?

Until ten minutes of sunset, Zhang Fei was in his hall, snoring while sitting, but where was Cao De's call?

And now, in Cao De's study in the Prime Minister's Palace, let alone a figure, there is not even a single hair!

When Zhang Fei hurriedly roared to find Cao De, Cao De had already returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion and hugged his fourth lady to do what he loved to do.

"Prime Minister, Prime Minister, I want to see Prime Minister!" Zhang Fei came to the Prime Minister's Mansion while roaring, but Pei Yuanshao, who was in charge of guarding the door, told Zhang Fei, General Zhang, I'm sorry, the Prime Minister already knew that you would come, so he arranged for me to wait for you here. But you're late, I'm about to fall asleep.

Don't talk nonsense, what does the prime minister want to tell me.

Pei Yuanshao didn't mention anything about business, it was all nonsense with Zhang Fei, can Zhang Fei not be anxious.

The prime minister said, don't worry, don't be impatient!

Seven words! It's just seven words! Zhang Fei watched Pei Yuanshao leave in a daze.

"Rest easy?" Looking at Zhang Fei's dress, Jin Ge's iron horse is ready, and he is about to pull out the knife from the sheath. According to the current comments, my pants are off, and you TMD show me "Sheriff Black Cat"?

Zhang Fei returned to his small courtyard in a huff, lying on the bed tossing and turning and unable to sleep. Bai made Lao Tzu happy.

In a blink of an eye, ten days passed. Cao De's side is still a carefree and happy life, while Cao Cao's side is in dire straits.

Although Li Dian killed Yuan Shang and Yuan Xi, Yuan Shao's remnants may have realized that they were at the end of their rope. Therefore, Li Dian's road to conquest was full of thorns and was not smooth. And Li Dian's army of 30,000 was also involved in the north of Jizhou.

The most difficult thing actually belongs to Yingchuan County, where Xu Huang is located.

Cai Mao had Jing Yue's brain, and Cai Mao did not transfer his troops to attack the rest of the counties in Yuzhou, but went straight to Yingchuan County, where Xu Huang was located.

At the beginning, Xu Huang promised Cao Cao to drag Cai Mao to death in Yingchuan, but Cai Mao's offensive momentum was too fierce.

In desperation, Xu Huang contracted his forces and desperately defended a city and a pond in Yingchuan. What's more, in order to delay Cai Mao's offensive speed, Xu Huang also built countless camps. In this way, Cai Mao's every step is almost difficult.

However, Xu Huang is also worthy of Cao Cao's entrustment. It's just that Cao Cao promised Xu Huang's reinforcements, but there has been no movement so far.

Between this advance and retreat, it seems to be equal, but in fact, Cao Cao's situation is already very dangerous. Because, in the east of Luoyang, Liu Bei's army has crossed the Langdang Canal, and Kaifeng, where Cao Cao's army is stationed, is also surrounded by Liu Bei's army!

On the same day, due to the encounter between Guan Yu and Le Jin, Cheng Yu's sneak attack plan came to naught. And Cheng Yu repelled Guan Yu by the way in order to rescue Le Jin, and Cheng Yu almost transferred the main force in Yu Ban's forward camp. And this undoubtedly gave Lu Yitian a great opportunity on the other side of the river.

And Lu Yi also dispatched troops in time, grabbed Cao's ferry, and defeated Yu Ban's defensive position in one fell swoop. And Yu Ban was also scarred and wounded many times in this battle.

The general trend of Cao Jun is already decadent! However, what made Cao De most strange was that after Cao Cao rushed back from Yuzhou, he actually ran back to Luoyang, and Cao Cao was still in Luoyang City, staying for three or five days.

What the hell is Cao Cao doing?

After another ten days, Li Dian continued to struggle in the quagmire of Jizhou, and I am afraid that in another half a month, Li Dian will not be able to support the battle in the south. And in the south, Xu Huang retreated to the border of Yingchuan County, and Luoyang's defense has reached the last step!

In the east, Cao Cao's current main force was also trapped in Kaifeng by Liu Bei. Fortunately, with the desperate fighting of the generals, Liu Bei's desire to seize Kaifeng and strangle the main force of Cao's army has not yet been completed.

However, in the past ten days, Cao De has finally figured out Cao Cao's purpose.

Cao Cao's most difficult situation was that Cao Cao had no troops available.

Cao Cao has raised more than 300,000 troops in recent years, and now the army that appears on the battlefield is only more than 100,000, but the situation in front of Cao Cao is that there are no soldiers available!

Cao Cao's 300,000 people, Victor's guard against Liu Bei's 100,000 were placed in Yanzhou, but these 100,000 people were washed away by a flood. And the 80,000 people in Jizhou were troubled by Yuan Shang and Yuan Xi, and these 80,000 people have already fought with themselves!

Only 40,000 people in Yuzhou can be regarded as really useful, but they are losing and retreating. Luoyang's 50,000 troops have now been invested in Kaifeng.

Therefore, Cao Cao has also become an army that has not been used, only 40,000 people in Youzhou. Far water could not quench the thirst of the near, Cao Cao did not think of using these 40,000 men at all, and Cao Cao had to rely on these 40,000 people to guard against attacks from the east and north.

However, Cao De finally found out a news in the past ten days, Cao Cao is not eating and waiting for death in Luoyang City these days. Now it's finally time to show the results!

Because, outside Luoyang City, in Cao Cao's camp, there are already 50,000 troops assembled on standby, and as long as Cao Cao gives an order, the army can rush to the battlefield!
