Xiahoudun's letter said: "I would like to inform the Duke of Wei that according to the messenger of Fancheng, Liu Biao sent his second son Liu Cong, with 40,000 elite soldiers, to cross the Han River and make Fancheng impassable. Now, the roads around Fancheng have been cut off by him and become a lonely city, and Cao Renmanzhong has nothing to do but wait to be killed. Beforehand, Liu Cong sent Zhao Yun to lead troops to conquer Deng County, and Xu Huang, the defender of Wancheng, wanted to go over to reinforce Fancheng, but there was no way out??????"

When Cao Cao read this, he threw the letter in his hand and scolded: "Deng County is such an important place as lost, is this worth it?" What did Xiahoudun do to eat, why didn't he keep Deng County. Pig heads? ”

Cao Cao scolded here, and the temple on the other side also hurt, and the pain was very bad, and Cao Cao was dizzy in pain.

After a pause, Cao Cao finally got stronger, and Cao Cao thought: "Liu Cong, this kid is extraordinary!" Knowing that Deng County was conquered in advance, Deng County was lost, and Wancheng Xu Huang wanted to reinforce Fancheng, and he really did nothing. ”

Cao Cao thought of this and thought: "Deng County is lost, there is still Yuzhou, there are 30,000 elite soldiers in Yuzhou, as long as it is dispatched, it is enough to involve the actions of the soldiers of Fancheng and Jingzhou." ”

Cao Cao thought of this, his heart was a little calmer, and when he picked up Xiahou Dun's letter and read it, he saw that the letter said: "The last general has already issued two orders, ordering Xu Huang and Xiahou Yuan to divide their troops into two ways, and Xu Huang will immediately march to Deng County, and at all costs, Deng County must be recovered." On the other hand, Xiahou Yuan led his troops to the Quewei Slope movement, and after conquering the Quewei Slope Pass, he went straight down to Xinye. If these two groups succeed, Fancheng will be able to break the siege in a few days. This is the situation here, if Wei Gong has any instructions, please make it clear as soon as possible. ”

Cao Cao read this and thought: "Yuan Rang is confused." Deng County has been occupied by Zhao Yun, with Zhao Yun's ability and the easy to defend and difficult to attack terrain of Deng County, how easy is it to recover Deng County? Also, the Quewei Slope is under the jurisdiction of Liu Bei of Xinye, and Liu Bei's subordinates are two good generals, as long as the Quewei Slope is held, Xiahou Yuan will not be able to break it. It's broken, it's broken, it looks like Fancheng is finished. But?????? What kind of thing is Liu Cong'er, how can he show the same talent as soon as he rescues him? ”

At this time, Cao Cao didn't know that Queweipo was guarded by Zhou Cang, and he didn't know that Xinye was guarded by the veteran Huang Zhong. He just felt that Fancheng was in danger, and admired Liu Cong's general's demeanor in his arranging troops. was anxious to understand Liu Cong's details, so he ordered fiercely: "Bring the envoy of Xiahoudun to come over and talk." ”

The messenger came, and Cao Cao glared and asked, "Do you know Liu Cong's details?" ”

"I'll know a little bit below."

"Tell me, what kind of thing is Liu Cong, why did Liu Biao send him to lead the troops?"

"I heard that although Liu Cong is not very old, he is both civil and military, and he has no last resort, and he has no plans. In particular, it will predict, and the prediction is very accurate. He also understands economics and politics, and after getting the power to control the Jingzhou Yamen from Liu Biao, he immediately adjusted the officials at all levels of the Yamen, and transferred Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei to act as agents to manage the affairs of the Yamen, and he freed up his hands to lead the troops to recover the lost territory north of the Han River. He also released words, saying that he would wait for the Central Plains with Wei Gong in four years to complete the ??????"

When the envoy said this, he closed his eyes and looked straight at Cao Cao, and stopped talking.

Cao Cao saw it and asked: "Four years later, you will compete with me in the Central Plains, what else are you going to do?" ”

"I don't dare to say it!"

"Fuck you, say it!"

"He said that four years later, he will compete with the Duke of Wei in the Central Plains, and he will have absolute confidence in defeating the Duke of Wei, and he must destroy Cao Wei and support the Han family."

"Ahhhhh Cao Cao was so angry that he jumped up from the side of the case, covered his temples with one hand, pointed at the messenger with the other and said, "You go back and tell him, you just say, Wei Gong said, you want to defeat Wei Gong, that's a pipe dream!" ”

The messenger muttered, "How can you tell him?" ”

Cao Cao raised his head when he heard this: "Yes! How did this messenger tell Liu Cong? I was by him. Thinking of this, he turned his face and ordered: "The generals obeyed the order, immediately sent troops back to Fancheng, first killed Liu Biao's pig and dog son Liu Cong, and then came back to clean up Yuan Shao's two sons." ”

However, at this time, there were only a few civil officials in the room, and none of the generals were present. Cao Cao's order, no one responded.

Cao Cao took a look at it and knew that he was so angry with Liu Cong that he hadn't come to his senses yet, so he sat down with a shy face and let out his breath.

Xun You and Guo Jia came up to persuade Cao Cao.

Guo Jia said: "Is it true that Duke Wei wants to give up the major events in Hebei and lead his troops back to clean up Liu Cong?" ”

Cao Cao rolled his eyes at Guo Jia and snorted angrily, "Is it okay not to do this?" Seeing that Fancheng was lost, the land south of Xuchang could not be saved. What am I still busy working here? Taking advantage of the opportunity of Yuan Xi and Yuan Shang to flee outside the fortress in fright, I led the troops back to clean up Liu Cong, stabilize the rear, and then come back to clean up Yuan Shao's two sons, it can't be said that it is not a wonderful move, right? I can't just hit the tiger at the front door and let the wolf come in at the back door, right? ”

"Wei Gong's idea has a point, and he should do it. However, under the feeling of ??????"

Guo Jia also stopped talking at this point, and looked straight at Cao Cao.

Cao Cao was anxious and urged: "What are you talking about, let go of a fart quickly!" ”

Guo Jia said slowly: "Duke Wei, I think that in terms of the entire situation in the world, Liu Cong is a small disease of ringworm and scabies, and he will not be able to become a big climate for a while. Hebei Yuan Xi and Yuan Shang are our henchmen. Specifically, this Liu Cong only led 40,000 Jingzhou soldiers to kill Hanshui and besiege Fancheng. We had 8,000 elite troops in Fancheng, 8,000 in Wancheng, 30,000 in Yuzhou, and 20,000 in Xuchang, totaling 60,000 or 70,000 troops in that area, almost twice as many as the troops led by Liu Cong. Moreover, the generals of our army are all contemporary famous generals, Xiahoudun, Xiahouyuan, Xu Huang, Cao Ren, which one is not famous in the world? As far as these generals and men are concerned, it is more than enough to deal with Liu Cong, why should Duke Wei personally lead his troops back to the rescue? ”

Guo Jia said it reasonably, Cao Cao slowly listened to it, and after listening to it, his heart calmed down, and his temples were not so anxious that they hurt, so he said gently: "En, it makes sense." Feng Xiao Feng Xiao and continue to talk. ”

Guo Jia continued: "From the point of view, Liu Cong's problem is just a minor disease of ringworm and scabies, and Yuan Shang and Yuan Xi are the big troubles. Now that Wei Gong wants to let go of his henchmen and not use fierce medicine, but use fierce medicine to treat the disease of ringworm and scabies, is it not to abandon the basics? ”

Cao Cao didn't answer, just lowered his head and continued to listen to Guo Jia.

Guo Jia continued: "Yuan Shang Yuan Xi's family, from the time when his father was alive, has befriended Xianbei Wuhuan, although the army is defeated at the moment, but there are still tens of thousands of elite soldiers, if Wei Gong lets go and retreats to Fancheng today to deal with Liu Cong, it is in the trap of Liu Cong and Yuan Shang Yuan Xi - as soon as Wei Gong withdraws, Yuan Shang Yuan Xi will immediately kill Wuhuan back, and at that time, Hebei will not belong to Wei Gong." If Duke Wei recovers Hebei again, he will have to start from scratch. In the following is just such an opinion, I would like to inform Duke Wei and ask Duke Wei to refer to and decide on major matters. ”

In fact, Cao Cao had already seen this situation, why did he suddenly have to lead his troops back to Fancheng? It's this guy who is proud of himself at this time, thinking that he is invincible in the world.

In his opinion, the north of the Yangtze River is his sphere of influence, and if Liu Cousin Sun Quan stays in the south of the Yangtze River honestly and waits for death; If he wanted to cross the Yangtze River to find trouble, Cao Cao couldn't tolerate it at this time.

Now Liu Cong, a milky child who has not dried up, dares to come over and brush his tiger whiskers, which Cao Cao cannot tolerate.

To tell the truth, if Cao Cao was really sure that he would lead his troops over to fight and eliminate Liu Cong, he would still be right. However, when he listened to Guo Jia's words at this time, he despised Liu Cong. Besides, I really can't figure out the details of Liu Cong, and I really don't dare to say that I can win a battle when I bring the troops back. So he secretly made up his mind in his heart: "Just follow Guo Jia's proposition." He thought.

However, Cao Cao would not easily show that he had no idea in front of the strategists, so he raised his head and paused for a moment as he pretended to be thoughtful, and said, "Feng Xiao has some truth in what he said. However, Xu Changyuan let him there, and I have to give him ideas. Alright, that's it, you guys go back. I am writing to Yuan Rang here, ordering him to act according to the plan, and must capture Liu Cong'er alive before the Spring Festival! Well, you have to be captured alive, not dead. Only in this way can the people of the world dare not look down on me from now on. Nonsense, cats and dogs are trying to come and take advantage of me. ”

So everyone dispersed, and Cao Cao began to write to Xiahoudun.

However, Cao Cao didn't have any tricks in his heart, he just encouraged Xiahoudun, and finally praised: "You sent troops to deploy the formation this time very well, and you have the demeanor of a general." Let's act like this, I wait to hear the good news of your victory over Liu Cong. (Ask for flowers, collect.) Ask for a stamp. Ask for votes! ）038
