On that day, Du Chen sent troops to help Yuan Shao, and the reward was a lot of grain and grass, but despite this, Cao Jun's grain and grass still felt like he couldn't make ends meet, but this was also something that could not be helped, although Cao Jun's territory expanded very quickly, it was all the result of one war after another.

It can be said that in addition to the grain and grass extorted by Du Chen, there is obviously no surplus in Cao Jun's grain depot, and the news from Tong Guò Wenruo is that these grains and grasses have obviously reached a state where there is little left.

Without food and grass, Cao Jun obviously did not have the courage to continue fighting, no matter how strong the fighting consciousness of Cao Jun's soldiers was; No matter how strong the soldiers of the Cao Army are, as long as they starve him for three or five days, Du Chen does not believe that any ordinary person has the ability to stab the soldiers of the Cao Army who have been through a hundred battles.

Du Chen wanted to send someone to disturb Yuan Jun's supply line, but Yuan Jun obviously didn't give Du Chen this opportunity, Yuan Jun attached great importance to the supply line, of course, this was not because of Yuan Shao, but because of Lu Yi,

Ko Yi was a qualified commander, and he obviously knew that Cao Jun would definitely make small moves, so his defense of himself and the supply lines had reached an astonishing level, and Du Chen obviously had a hard time finding an opportunity.

To sum up, Du Chen has quite a headache for this, of course, it is not only Du Chen who has a headache, Cao Cao is obviously more helpless than Du Chen, Cao Cao has always frowned, although it still looks domineering and exposed, but Du Chen can obviously feel that Cao Cao is now a lot sluggish in momentum.

Du Chen knew that the reason why Cao Cao was like this was because of his current predicament, and sometimes Cao Cao would secretly say to himself in his heart that returning to Xuchang was the wisest choice.

The city walls of Xuchang City are thick and the defense is amazing. There is such a majestic city in hand, which is obviously much stronger than the official camp here, but whenever he has this idea, he tries his best to stop himself from another idea, and constantly sues himself. The possibility of withdrawal is slim.

Although Du Chen knew the sorrow in Cao Cao's heart, he didn't have any solution, he had high hopes for Guandu, but God played a huge joke on him at this time, Wuchao didn't have Yuan Jun's granary at all,

Originally, the surprise attack on Wuchao was the key to the decisive victory in the battle of Guandu, and Du Chen was obviously full of confidence in this, but such a blow obviously made him helpless. History, obviously, has undergone tremendous changes under his own disturbances, and Du Chen really doesn't dare to speculate about the next trend, so he is quite helpless in his heart.

Cao Jun's life is obviously getting more and more sad day by day, Cao Cao and Du Chen are full of sadness, although Cao Jun has not yet reached the point of exhaustion, but it is not much better. If this trend continues, the defeat of Cao's army is absolutely predictable.

This is said. Cao Cao ordered someone to call Du Chen again, Du Chen did not find anyone else after the camp today, only Cao Cao was alone, sitting there full of sorrow, now Cao Cao looks a lot older, even he exudes domineering. are all languishing 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 Du Chen walked in and Cao Cao didn't notice it.

Du Chen 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, Du Chen didn't see anyone else walk in, Du Chen frowned slightly, and then coughed softly a few times.

Cao Cao raised his head when he heard the sound, and it was only at this time that he found that Du Chen 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, "Silang, you are here." ”

Cao Cao's smile obviously contained a trace of bitterness, Du Chen obviously knew this, Du Chen nodded slightly, and then asked, "I don't know what Meng De called Chen?" ”

"Alas~~~" Cao Cao sighed, he looked at Du Chen, and then said in a deep voice: "With Silang's intelligence, can't you guess what the called you to do." Cao Cao stared at Du Chen, obviously he wanted to hear what Du Chen had to say.

But this time Du Chen really didn't know what Cao Cao was thinking about again, plus these words, Du Chen was also quite chaotic, so he shook his head slightly, and Cao Cao was obviously even more helpless, he sighed slightly.

Cao Cao has sighed several times in a row, which makes Du Chen feel that Cao Cao has obviously lost a lot of sharpness now, which is not a good thing for Du Chen, if the coach does not have sharpness, how can he expect the soldiers to fight to the death.

"There is something that I have been thinking about for a long time, I want to withdraw the army and return to Xuchang, I don't know what Silang thinks." Cao Cao stared at Du Chen and said, this matter has really been thinking about Cao Cao for a long time, so he very much hopes that Du Chen can give him an opinion,

Du Chen felt helpless in his heart, he couldn't imagine that a domineering person like Cao Cao would have a cowardly heart, if this is the case, then the Cao army is really dangerous, the two armies are fighting, 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.

"Meng De thinks that with the towering walls of Xuchang City, can he defend against Yuan's army?" Du Chen opened his mouth and asked, Xuchang City's city defense is strong, and it does have the strength to fight, but the battle is not like this, if Cao Jun retreats, it will really have no morale.

"Hmm." Cao Cao nodded, he had been thinking about this matter in his heart for a long time, but he had never decided, so he let Du Chen and his staff officers, Cao Cao didn't want everyone to know that he had the idea of withdrawing the army, so he just called Du Chen.

"Mengde's idea is good." Du Chen nodded, but Du Chen's mouth was wrong Cao Cao obviously heard it, he smiled, and waited for Du Chen to say something next.

"But Meng De, you also know that the battle between the two armies is morale, if our army withdraws today, then Meng De, do you think the soldiers of the Cao army still have morale at all." Du Chen stared at Cao Cao and said, although Du Chen did feel that the future was bleak, but he would never give up easily, morale may plummet, and taking a step back may make the soldiers have no morale, such a thing must not be done.

"Silang, 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 you say this is also a helpless move." Cao Cao said helplessly, he had thought about these things for more than a day or two, otherwise how could he have discussed them with Du Chen.

"There is no endless road, doesn't Meng De even believe this." As soon as Du Chen's tone changed, his momentum suddenly became stronger, and Cao Cao obviously felt Du Chen's sudden momentum and nodded at him.

"There must be a road before the car reaches the mountain, now our army is indeed extremely difficult, but Yuan Shao is not much better, if our army withdraws, then the mood is definitely Yuan Shao who wants to laugh the most, is it Meng De that you want Yuan Shao to say triumphantly to the princes of the world, saying that you Cao Cao is afraid of Yuan Jun, and retreats without a fight." The corners of Du Chen's mouth rose and said, although this is a simple method of agitation, Cao Cao can hear it as soon as he hears it, but Du Chen feels that this method is the most effective at this time.

Sure enough, Cao Cao heard Du Chen's words, and his expression obviously changed, "Hahaha." Cao Cao nodded with satisfaction, "Although this method is quite clumsy, but it does work, yes, as soon as the army is withdrawn here, the princes in the world naturally think that Cao Cao is afraid of him Yuan Benchu, and I, Cao Cao, 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.

Du Chen looked at Cao Cao, and then said: "Actually, these days, Chen has been thinking about how to deal with Yuan Jun, although he has some ideas in his 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 Si Lang think, there is no good chance to break the enemy after thinking and meditating." ”

"Alas~~" Du Chen sang him, these days he has not forgotten about the Wuchao, but the Wuchao does not have the granary of Yuan Jun, so Du Chen set his sights on other places, but now it is obvious that there is not much gain.

"Chen is thinking, now our army is having a headache over food and grass, but Chen thinks that Yuan Jun will not be much better." Du Chen said in a deep voice: "The transportation line of the Yuan army is obviously much longer than that of our army, so the dust is set at the rear of the Yuan army, there must be a place for grain and grass hoarding, if our army finds this place of grain and grass hoarding, and then burns this place, our army will definitely be able to turn the crisis into safety, and even be able to win a complete victory and annihilate the Yuan army in one fell swoop." ”

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

Cao Cao obviously knew that Du Chen's plan was very good, but looking at Du Chen'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 Du Chen to be too tired, but he also hoped that Du Chen could give him advice on deciding the fatal blow.

"The dust ordered people to carefully explore Yuan Jun's grain and grass hoarding place, but they didn't find anything for a long time, if only one of Yuan Shao's cronies came over, then our army would know what Yuan Jun was doing." Du Chen 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. (To be continued......)
