In Cao Cao's mind, if he wanted to take a general out to take the blame, it could only be Cai Mao.

If it was the early stage, Cao Cao didn't have the intention of taking Cai Mao's life, after all, Cai Mao was still available. A person who is greedy for life and afraid of death, and greedy for money, is convenient for his control. However, now at this time, Cai Mao has become a dispensable person.

The most important thing is that Cao Cao now has no time to let Cai Mao form and train a new Cao army by himself, and Cao Cao will not feel that if he keeps Cai Mao, he will make any more contributions to himself. Could it be that in terms of the current situation, can Cai Mao defeat the New Han Army for himself?

Therefore, it would be best to take Cai Mao to kill chickens and show them to monkeys.

Therefore, Cai Mao's fate has been sealed.

Of course, how to kill Cai Mao, Cao Cao is not in a hurry for the time being, everything, it depends on how Cao Hong and Cai Mao fought against the New Han Army in Yangzhou, in addition, although he said that he would not kill Cao Hong, he also had to take advantage of the current incident to beat Cao Hong, lest Cao Hong, a bastard, always think that he was a master of high merit, thought that he was full of talent and learning, and dared to design strategies and tactics alone, so that his military horses lost hundreds of thousands at once. This is unforgivable, and in the future, Cao Hong must not be allowed to commit it again, including the generals under his account.

After sorting out how to deal with Cao Hong and Cai Mao, Cao Cao had the battle report of another front in front of him, waiting for him to deal with it.

Cao Cao is most worried about the Jinan area of Yanzhou. He can be said to have developed by virtue of those territories, and it was his large rear that was once captured by the large army of the New Han army attacking from the north. Then he Cao Cao is equivalent to cutting off a wing, and from then on he can only be in a passive situation forever. can only be stubbornly defended according to the projectile land in the area of Xudu, and there is no longer any talk of development.

The defense line on the south bank of the Yellow River. Cao Cao has been in business for so many years, and he is still relatively relieved about the possibility of letting the New Han Army directly kill Huang Honglai, thinking that if the New Han Army wants to fight directly, it must pay a great price, and this price will definitely be so big that the New Han Army cannot afford it.

He was worried about Tarzan's Zang Ba.

Although Zang Ba had long been submissive to him Cao Cao, it was only nominally submissive. He himself has never come to Xu Du to meet him. In other words, Zang Ba has always been in the area of Mount Tai to support his own troops.

Zang Ba has now developed to the point where it is estimated that there will be more than 200,000 troops, controlling the open area within a radius of thousands of miles from Mount Tai and guarding the important passage from Mount Tai to Jinan.

Cao Cao was worried that the New Han army would kill from Qingzhou to Xuzhou, and from the north of Mount Tai directly to Jinan. He was worried that Zang Ba would retreat without a fight in the face of the attack of the New Han Army, or even surrender directly to the New Han Dynasty. In this way, you can make the army of the New Han Army. Directly from Bohai City through Leling in the north of the Yellow River estuary to Le'an, and then from Le'an easily sent troops to his rear town Jinan City.

At that time, Jinan will not be guaranteed, and Xuzhou will not be guaranteed. The loss of this area made Cao Cao more sad than the loss of Yuzhou and Yangzhou.

It's a pity. Over the years, Cao Cao has always had no way to take Zang Ba. When Cao Cao wanted to seize Xuzhou, he had already reached an agreement with Zang Ba. Zang Ba has also declared himself a vassal to Cao Cao. Although Zang Ba has not come to Xu Du to see him for so many years. But these are not excuses for Cao Cao to raise troops against Zang Ba.

What's more, if you can easily solve Zang Ba's problem. Cao Cao will definitely not wait until today, until now.

The Taishan area, the terrain is complicated, if Cao Cao wants to deal with Zang Ba, people will directly take people and horses to hide in the mountains, how can Cao Cao take Baba? Even if the army is mobilized, it is impossible to find these mountain kings in those complex terrain environments.

If you really raise troops to deal with Zang Ba, it will be okay if you can destroy him, but once you move the army, you can't destroy him in the end, then Cao Cao will be in trouble. In the face of Zang Ba's revenge, he will always be at peace. Jinan, Xuzhou and other regions, I am afraid that it is difficult to get Ansheng. What's more, Yuan Shang and Cao Cao of Beihai in the northeast of Mount Tai have not been able to send troops to destroy them. If you force Zang Ba tightly, people can directly go to Yuan Shang, in that case, it is equivalent to Cao Cao's military horses, and they have to maneuver around Qingzhou for a period of time. The problem is that over the years, the confrontation with the New Han Army has made it really difficult for Cao Cao to draw too many military horses to deal with Zang Ba and capture Qingzhou.

In fact, if Zang Ba was really convinced of himself and completely surrendered to himself, then Cao Cao would have integrated Zang Ba's military horses a long time ago, destroyed Yuan Shang in Qingzhou Beihai a long time ago, and arranged a defensive line in Mount Tai, so that the New Han army would not have a chance to spy on Jinan at all.

Even, it was a little inconvenient for Cao Cao to increase his troops and deploy defenses in the area of Mount Tai, because Zang Ba probably would not agree to him Cao Cao's military horses directly stationed in his territory. If Zang Ba is stimulated, Zang Ba will be opposed.

Therefore, Cao Cao once again urgently sent Cheng Yu, who was familiar with Zang Ba, to Mount Tai to meet Zang Ba. I hope that through Cheng Yu, I can directly understand the current situation of Zang Ba, and I can monitor and supervise Zang Ba to fight against the new Han army from the east.

But now, the battle report in front of Cao Cao's eyes made Cao Cao feel like he had been poured a plate of cold water, from head to toe.

It turned out that on the battlefields of Yuzhou and Yangzhou, when the fighting was raging, the New Han Army in the north had also been operationally in place and began to strike at the strategic targets they had booked. The army began to advance.

Gongsun Zhan's iron cavalry advanced quite fast, and in one day, he killed Le'an County from Bohai City through Leling, and captured it without much effort.

It turned out that the navy of the New Han Army, I don't know when, had already secretly arranged a large warship at the mouth of the Yellow River, and as soon as Gongsun Zhan's military horses arrived, they sailed out directly from the shadows, so that Gongsun Zhan's military horses could cross the Yellow River by boat. Although there were not many ships, they went back and forth many times, and soon all Gongsun Zhan's military horses were transported.

The Cao soldiers in the Yellow River defense line in Le'an were actually only sent by Zang Ba to stay behind, so to speak, just as they did a show, as soon as the New Han army arrived, they surrendered the city.

Within two days, the army of the New Han Army once again captured Zhangqiu City in the north of Mount Tai, and entered Licheng and Mount Tai.

Now, although Licheng and Taishan are still in the hands of Zang Ba. However, according to the information sent back by Cheng Yu in a hurry. Cao Cao felt very bad, because. It can be seen from the intelligence that Zang Ba's resistance to the attack of the New Han Army is not active, and, between Zang Ba's words, it seems that he also admires the New Han Army very much, but it is because of his gentlemanly friendship with Cao Cao, he has already nominally surrendered to Cao Cao back then, and. Cao Cao has never treated him badly with Zang Ba, so that Zang Ba, who pays more attention to affection and loyalty, has not been able to openly show favor to the New Han Dynasty and publicly surrender to the New Han Dynasty.

This point is actually a bit similar to Zhang Liao's situation. Of course, Zang Ba and the New Han Dynasty did not have too many entanglements like Zhang Liao and the New Han Dynasty.

The information sent back by Cheng Yu has already hinted at Cao Cao that Cao Cao must make preparations as soon as possible, and be prepared in case Zang Ba really submits to the New Han Dynasty. How Cao Cao was going to resist the enemy's attack on Jinan by the New Han Army.

This is a matter of urgency, once the New Han army is killed from the direction of Mount Tai to Jinan, and Jinan falls, then Cao Cao's entire Yellow River defense line is equivalent to the collapse of the whole line. Lost the point of continuing to defend. At that time, the New Han army will be like the Yellow River that has burst its embankment, swarming into his Cao Cao's sphere of influence.

There is no way around it. Cao Cao urgently ordered Cao Ren, the chief general who was guarding the Yellow River defense line, to quickly dispatch military horses. Stationed in Jinan, he must be able to capture or defeat the New Han army that might attack Jinan from Mount Tai. Other than that. There is also a secret order, Xu Huang hurriedly led a group of men and horses, went to Mount Tai to meet with Cheng Yu, if it was found that Zang Ba really had the intention of surrendering to the New Han Dynasty, then he would strike first, cut Zang Ba first, seize Zang Ba's military power, and rely on the complex terrain of Mount Tai as much as possible to resist the attack of the New Han Army from the direction of Mount Tai. Even if the enemy can't be defeated, it is necessary to delay the advance of the New Han army as much as possible, so that Cao Ren can have more time to deploy defenses.

This is a matter for Tarzan.

In addition, a piece of information that has just been delivered.

It was the intelligence sent back by Cao Cao's spies in Qingzhou. It is said that the New Han Army suddenly descended from the sky like a divine soldier and slaughtered from the sea to the Shandong region, and now, it has occupied the areas around Muping and Penglai. At this time, the entire Qingzhou area was already in chaos, and Yuan Shang was also panicked at this time, and hurriedly dispatched military horses to drive the New Han army that emerged from the sea back to the sea.

However, how could the New Han Army be Yuan Shang's enemy? has been defeated by the New Han army and fled all the way back to Beihai.

It is estimated that it will not be long before the entire Qingzhou will also fall into the hands of the New Han Army.

Once Qingzhou is lost, the Xinhan army will definitely send troops from Beihai to Xuzhou. Xuzhou is in danger.

These are the reasons why Cao Cao is cold from head to toe.

After a long time, Cao Cao sighed silently and said faintly: "But with a thunderous momentum, Liu Yi doesn't want to give himself a way to live at all." Could it be that he really wants to force a certain shrinkage of troops, and Yu Xu Du and Liu Yi will have a world fantasy showdown? ”

Cao Cao's expression was very complicated, and the whole person seemed to have aged a lot all of a sudden.

The army of the New Han Dynasty came out in several ways, like the weight of Mount Tai, which made Cao Cao really breathless.

After a long time, he cheered up a little, and felt that it was not the time for the final decisive battle, after all, the important city he had planned to defend earlier was still in his hands, as long as the day did not reach the most defeated, he would not be reconciled, he had to cheer up, and fought with Liu Yi to the end.

He thought of Sima Yi, who was smart, diligent and studious by his side in recent days, and could draw inferences from one another, and then thought of Sima Hui. Thinking of the situation at this time, it seems that the design has not progressed as expected by Mr. Shuijing. It's also time to meet this Mr. Shuijing again, and see if he still has a plan to return to heaven under the current situation.

As soon as he thought of this, he summoned Sima Yi's kid to come in and asked him to see Mr. Shui Jing.

Sima Yi was smart, and he knew what was going on as soon as he heard it, so he didn't say much, and respectfully retired, asking Cao Cao to wait for his news.

When the various armies of the New Han Army acted according to plan, basically disrupting all of Cao Cao's original arrangements. The Xinhan Army in the middle of the road, which was closest to Xu Du and could confront Cao Jun after leaving the Tiger Prison Pass, was still staying at the Tiger Prison Pass and standing still. At most, he occasionally let some defeated people out of the pass and go to fight against Cao's army, but only for a tentative attack, and soon retreat back to the Tiger Prison Pass.

This is because all the ministers believe that the Cao army concentrated elite military horses to resist the middle army of the New Han Dynasty, and the spirit was flourishing, and the New Han Army did not need to fight hard with the Cao army at this time. It only needs to put on a posture to contain the main force of Cao's army, so that Cao Cao does not dare to divide his troops to other battlefields. As long as the other New Han armies keep attacking the Cao army and let the morale of the Cao army drop, when the time comes, the New Han army will be able to get unexpected good results in one fell swoop.

After Liu Yi listened to the advice of the ministers in the court, he felt that it was also very reasonable. Therefore, he simply stayed in Luoyang first, only paying attention to the intelligence in all aspects, and did not rush to send troops.

Liu Yi himself actually has a lot to do, these days, he has been studying the encyclopedia in the solar mobile phone, as much as possible to copy some of the heavy industry technology that may be manufactured under the current conditions. Liu Yi decided that since he wanted to do it, he would do his best to spread some later civilizations that could promote scientific and technological progress and change the way of life of the world, so that human beings could avoid some detours in scientific exploration.

For example, Leo decided to change the way the world fights and prepared to make some guns. This is to prepare for world hegemony after the unification of the Han Dynasty. Because Liu Yi thought that now that he was almost thirty years old, it was impossible to spend too much time and energy like the unification of the Han Dynasty, and if there were guns, then the whole world would have to submit to the feet of the Han Dynasty.

In addition, in the industrial aspect, it is possible to get electricity, and it should be barely possible to make steam engines and diesel engines with the current casting and smelting technology of the New Han Dynasty. Back then, in Julu, he got the oil that Zhang Jiao didn't know where to get it, and Liu Yi also ordered someone to get it back to Luoyang, which was used to study the diesel engine that would be produced.

Today's Xinmin Academy in Luoyang has almost gathered the smartest and most knowledgeable people of the current era, and Liu Yi will hand it over to them for research first. I'm sure I'll be able to figure it out.

However, on this day, Liu Yi was not busy with these things, because he drank a little wine last night, and then messed around with Mrs. Zhang, who had recovered her nature, but let Liu Yi enjoy the endless pleasure between the bed brothers. It's just that after waking up one night, there is one more woman by his side who is not too willing to accept Liu Yi's heart.

is Yuan Shao's other wife, Yuan Xi's mother Liu.

Liu's appearance is not inferior to Mrs. Zhang, and may even be slightly better than one or two points, after all, in the competition between Mrs. Zhang and Liu in front of Yuan Shao, Mrs. Zhang is defeated in the end.

Accepting her, Liu Yi didn't feel at a loss, but what gave Liu Yi a headache was that Mrs. Zhang and Liu made a request to Liu Yi. (To be continued.) )
