Cao Jun's life is obviously getting sadter day by day, and Cao Cao and Zhao Fei are full of sadness about this. Although Cao Jun has not yet reached the point of exhaustion, it is not much better if he thinks about it. If this trend continues, the defeat of Cao's army is absolutely predictable.

On this day, Cao Cao ordered someone to summon Zhao Fei again. Zhao Fei didn't find anyone else after the tent today, only Cao Cao was alone, sitting there full of sorrow. Today's Cao Cao looks a lot older, and even the domineering aura he exudes has withered to a certain extent.

Just looking at Cao Cao's appearance, people can know how sad he is in his heart, so much so that Zhao Fei walked in and Cao Cao didn't notice it.

Zhao Fei looked at it for a while, he thought that the others had not arrived yet, so he waited for a while. However, after waiting for such a long time, Zhao Fei didn't see anyone else walk in. Zhao Fei frowned slightly, then coughed softly.

Cao Cao raised his head when he heard the sound, and it was only at this time that he found that Zhao Fei had quietly entered the tent. And, looking at his appearance, he must have been waiting for a long time. Cao Cao smiled apologetically, and then said, "Pengju, you're here." ”

There was obviously a hint of bitterness in Cao Cao's smile, and Zhao Fei was obviously clear about it. Zhao Fei nodded slightly, and then asked, "I don't know why the prime minister summoned me?" ”

"Alas~~~" Cao Cao sighed, he looked at Zhao Fei, and then said in a deep voice: "With Pengju's intelligence, can't you guess what I called you for?" Cao Cao stared at Zhao Fei, obviously he wanted to hear what Zhao Fei had to say.

But this time Zhao Fei really didn't know what Cao Cao was thinking about anymore, plus these days, Zhao Fei was also quite chaotic, so he shook his head slightly. And Cao Cao was obviously even more helpless, and he sighed slightly.

Cao Cao had sighed several times in a row, which made Zhao Fei feel that Cao Cao had obviously lost a lot of sharpness now, which was not a good thing for Zhao Fei. If the boss doesn't have the sharpness, how can he expect the soldiers to fight to the death.

"There is something I have been thinking about for a long time in my heart, I want to withdraw the army and return to Xuchang, I don't know what Pengju thinks?" Cao Cao stared at Zhao Fei and said. This matter had really been thinking about this matter in Zhao Fei's heart for a long time, so he very much hoped that Zhao Fei could give him an opinion.

Zhao Fei felt helpless in his heart, he couldn't imagine that a domineering person like Cao Cao would have a cowardly heart, if this was the case, then Cao Jun would be really dangerous. The battle between the two armies, the most important thing is the momentum, now Cao Cao has no confidence to continue to fight with the Yuan army, so how can other soldiers have the courage to continue to fight with the Yuan army.

"Does the prime minister think that with the towering walls of Xuchang City, can he defend against the Yuan army?" Zhao Fei asked. Xuchang City has strong defenses, and it does have the strength to fight, but the battle is not fought like this, and if the Cao army retreats, it will really have no morale.

"Hmm!" Cao Cao nodded. He has been thinking about this matter in his heart for a long time, but he has never decided, so this is like letting Cao Zhaofei and his staff officer. Cao Cao also didn't want everyone to know that he had the idea of withdrawing his troops, so he only summoned Zhao Fei.

"The prime minister's idea is good." Zhao Fei nodded. However, Zhao Fei's mouth was wrong, Cao Cao obviously heard it, he smiled, and waited for what Zhao Fei was going to say next.

"But Prime Minister, you also know that the two armies are fighting for morale, if our army withdraws today, will the soldiers of the Cao army still have morale?" Zhao Fei stared at Cao Cao and said. Although Zhao Fei did feel that the future was bleak, he would never give up easily. Morale is a thing that can plummet a thousand miles, and taking a step back may make the soldiers have no morale, and such a thing must not be done.

"Pengju, what you said is good, but you also know the form of our army, and now if you continue to be trapped, that form is very unfavorable to our army, and the reason why I say this is also a helpless move." Cao Cao said helplessly. He thought about these things for more than a day or two, otherwise how could he have come to Zhao Fei to discuss.

"There is no way to be endless, don't you believe in it?" As soon as Zhao Fei's tone changed, his momentum suddenly became stronger. And Cao Cao obviously also felt Zhao Fei's sudden momentum and nodded at him.

"There must be a road before the car reaches the mountain, and now our army is indeed extremely difficult, but I don't think Yuan Shao is much better. If our army withdraws, the person who wants to laugh the most is definitely Yuan Shao, do you want Yuan Shao to say triumphantly to the princes of the world, saying that you Cao Cao is afraid of Yuan's army, and retreats without a fight! Zhao Fei said with the corners of his mouth raised. Although this is a simple method of agitation, Cao Cao can hear it as soon as he hears it, but Zhao Fei feels that this method is the most effective at this time.

Sure enough, Cao Cao heard Zhao Fei's words, and his expression obviously changed. "Hahaha!" Cao Cao nodded with satisfaction. "It's a clumsy approach, but it works. That's right, as soon as I withdraw my troops here, the princes of the world naturally think that I am afraid of him Yuan Benchu, and I, how can I be afraid of him! ”

Now Cao Cao has obviously regained his domineering, although Cao Cao is quite worried about this matter, but at this time he has obviously canceled the plan to withdraw the army.

Zhao Fei looked at Cao Cao, and then said: "Actually, these days, I have been thinking about how to deal with Yuan Jun, although I have some ideas in my heart, but there is no way to implement it. ”

"Oh?" Cao Cao's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he hurriedly asked: "What does Pengju think, I haven't had a good chance to break the enemy after thinking about it for a long time." ”

"Alas~~" Zhao Fei sang him, he had not forgotten the matter of Wuchao these days, but Wuchao did not have Yuan Jun's granary, so Zhao Fei set his sights on other places, but now it is obvious that there is not much gain.

"I'm thinking, now our army is having a headache about food and grass, but I don't think Yuan Jun will be much better." Zhao Fei said in a deep voice: "The transportation line of the Yuan army is obviously much longer than that of our army, so I expect that there must be a place to hoard grain and grass in the rear of the Yuan army. If I find this place where grain and grass are hoarded, and then burn this place down, our army will definitely be able to turn the crisis into safety, and even win a complete victory and annihilate Yuan's army in one fell swoop. ”

Zhao Fei's tone contained murderous aura, but the problem was that his murderous aura obviously had nowhere to spill it. Yuan Jun hid the place where he hoarded grain and grass very secretly, although Zhao Fei had the heart and clenched his entire fist, but obviously there was no direction to swing it out, and the feeling of powerlessness made Zhao Fei feel helpless.

Cao Cao obviously knew that Zhao Fei's plan was very good, but looking at Zhao Fei's expression, he knew that the matter was not going well. "This matter is not urgent, although our army can't wait too long, but we must do what we can."

Cao Cao obviously didn't want Zhao Fei to be too tired, but he also hoped that Zhao Fei could give him advice on deciding the fatal blow.

"I ordered someone to carefully explore Yuan Jun's grain and grass hoarding place, but nothing was found for a long time. It would be nice if one of Yuan Shao's cronies could take refuge in him, so that our army would know what Yuan Jun was up to! Zhao Fei said as if talking to himself. Of course, he wanted Xu You to be able to join Cao Jun in accordance with the trend of history, otherwise he wouldn't have to think so much about this matter.

Cao Cao also nodded, but it was obviously very difficult.

And just when Cao Cao and Zhao Fei had a headache about this matter, Xu You did have other ideas in his heart. Although history has changed a lot under the influence of Zhao Fei, sometimes fate cannot be changed by manpower.

At the beginning, Xu You was indeed quite powerful under Yuan Shao. But with the Battle of the White Horse, Xu You completely broke his trust with Yuan Shao. And when Koji Yi had not yet risen, Xu You may still have some opportunities, but now that Koji Yi is covering the sky with one hand, Xu You's life has obviously become very difficult.

At this time, Xu You can also see through the situation of Yuan Shao here, when you gain power, you are surrounded by the jealousy of traitors and villains, but when you lose power, there are countless people who fall into the well, and this feeling of fighting for power makes Xu You feel very tired.

For Xu You, he doesn't yearn for a life of power struggle. Xu You just likes to accumulate money, and the reason why he fights for power is just to make it more convenient for him to collect money.

Now that his accumulation of wealth has been exposed, Yuan Shao obviously distrusts himself even more. Although Yuan Shao didn't blame himself too much, Xu You, a smart person, obviously knew that Yuan Shao had lost trust in him. And very importantly, all his family members have been brought to justice, but the fire has not yet spread to him.

He has lost his trust in Yuan Shao, and his desire to collect money has obviously come to naught. Now it's time to think of some other ways, otherwise he will definitely not have any future under Yuan Shao.

Thinking about it, Xu You naturally thought of Cao Cao. Although Cao Cao had Zhao Fei alone covering the sky with one hand, Xu You knew that Zhao Fei was obviously not a person who could not tolerate people.

Moreover, Xu You obviously knew that Cao Jun, who had deposited money, was in dire straits, and if he helped Cao Jun at this moment, his position would inevitably rise because of this. As the saying goes, the icing on the cake is a small matter, but sending charcoal in the snow will definitely make Cao Jun and everyone remember their gratitude for a lifetime, which is definitely a thing that is beneficial to themselves and harmless.

Moreover, Cao Cao is also his best friend. No matter what you say, Cao Cao will not embarrass himself too much, not to mention that he will definitely reuse it, but at least he will not let himself die.

With a decision in his heart, Xu Yu began to prepare. Although he can't be trusted by Yuan Shao, Xu Yu still knows a lot about the private affairs of Yuan Jun. In particular, it is very important that Xu You accidentally learned the location of Yuan Jun's grain storage.

This matter has always been entrusted to Koji Yi, and Koji is obviously a very cautious person, hiding the grain very secretly. But just by accident, Xu You learned the location of Koyi's grain storage, and he also specially sent someone to confirm the matter, and there was nothing false about it.

In order to secretly hide the food, Koji Yi obviously did not send too many generals to guard, and this is definitely an opportunity, a turning point.
