"Is that really what you sir?"

Cao Ren stared at Zhang He, and after seeing the latter nod solemnly, he fell into deep thought.

First of all, the best strategy is not advisable.

Because from Yicheng to Qiaoxian, it takes at least two days just to be on the road.

What's more, almost anything can happen in these two days.

Especially in Jingzhou.

Especially facing Liu Bei, who has great prestige.

Secondly, the next strategy is indeed good, but Cao Ren is really not sure whether he can stop Liu Bei in the end.

Because the situation he was facing in front of him was almost the same as the situation of Liu Bei in Huainan at the beginning, it was all unattached.

So once the time passes, anything can happen...... For example, the opening of the city in Dangyang must be indispensable.

At that time, he had a headache and died.

Of course, this is not impossible to solve, and even speaking, these things are very simple to solve.

The slaughter of the city and the debasement of slaves will be over.

It's not like he hasn't done it in Nanyang.

What is the difference between Nanyang and Xiangyang?

It's basically the same.

So that's not the crux of the matter.

The crux of the matter is that Cao Cao at this moment is a little unaffordable.

If it continues to be consumed, even if the Central Plains will not be harvested, it will definitely be less than one-tenth.

That's a lot.

It can directly affect Cao Cao's grand strategy.

This is especially true at a time when new armies are being formed.

Cao Ren had to think about this.

For this reason, it is not advisable to make a decision.

To sum up, what Cao Ren can take, there is only one middle strategy left.

But Cao Ren was not very willing.

He still has Ruoxian, he still has Yicheng, and he still has a county.

If these three are not lost, he can fight Liu Bei again.

Perhaps, we will be able to reproduce the victory of Huainan again?

The big deal is just the death of a few generals.

But if it wins......

That's incredible!

At the very least, Liu Bei should no longer have the ability to march north within a few years.

However, thinking of Jia Xu's terribleness, Cao Ren finally suppressed this idea.

One word.

What if it fails?

At that time, he had lost most of his soldiers and horses.

Whether Cao Cao can go south again will probably become an unknown.

Even, whether Nanyang can be kept will become an unknown.

What's more critical is that Wei Yan, who was extremely fierce in the Battle of Chibi, is now in Suixian.

This is also a risk item that has to be considered.

After all, just now he had already obtained the specific battle report from the front line, and knew the fact that Liu Bei's subordinates did not talk about martial arts.

If he still gambled on something, Wei Yan wouldn't dare to send troops easily......

Then he's a pure fool.

Who is Wei Yan?

He may not have known it before, but now, he is definitely Liu Bei's cronies.

So, since Guan Yu could sneak attack, how could Wei Yan not dare?

In this regard, Cao Ren really can't afford to gamble, and he doesn't dare to gamble.

Once lost, not only Nanyang will be in danger, but the entire Huainan will also be crumbling.

Thinking of the possible situation, Cao Ren instantly had a possibility that Wei Yan would come to attack at any time.

Therefore, he suddenly felt the cold.

After all, the generals that Cao Ren can govern, or even the generals that Cao Cao can govern, don't dare to send troops easily.

But the people on Liu Bei's side don't talk about martial arts at all!

Let's ask, how can a general who is just waiting for orders be able to defeat a general who may send troops at any time?

I don't know how many times worse the flexibility alone, let alone the reaction......

Wrong.

It should be said that on their side, apart from him Cao Ren, there is no flexibility at all.

……

"Pass the order down, withdraw the troops!"

After thinking about it carefully, Cao Ren finally decided to choose the middle strategy, so after he gave the order to withdraw the army, he quietly pulled Zhang He to the side, "At night, remember ......"

Trample the wheat seedlings!

Burn down the house!

Looting!

Listening to Cao Ren's three arrangements, Zhang He's eyes slowly widened, and his breathing froze for a moment.

He had a feeling that Cao Ren seemed to be taking revenge on him.

Otherwise, why would he be asked to do this?

Obviously others can do better.

Obviously no one else cares about that.

Clearly......

But Cao Ren chose him!

If Zhang He wasn't smart enough, maybe he wouldn't think much about it.

But the point is, he's a smart guy.

At the very least, he is also a smart general.

Therefore, he can clearly see that if he looks at the overall situation, what he does is likely to become a weakness to be attacked in the future.

For example, if Cao Cao wants to go south in the future, but the people of Jingzhou are not attached to it...... What to do?

Killing a Zhang He will immediately save the huge hearts of the people.

In this case, will Cao Cao do it?

Or rather, will Cao Ren persuade Cao Cao to do this?

Zhang He suddenly felt a burst of fear.

He didn't expect at all that he just persuaded Cao Ren and asked the other party to find a way as soon as possible, and the other party already wanted to harm him.

In fact, Cao Renzhen didn't have such thoughts.

He just felt that Zhang He's execution was more prominent, and then he wanted to hand over this task to the other party.

Therefore, Cao Ren naturally didn't think that Zhang He thought so much.

At this time, he was even smiling all over his face, and he was still painting cakes.

"These things will be your merits...... Go for it. ”

Moreover, after saying these words, a very gentle smile rose on Cao Ren's face.

Zhang He became more and more scared.

Of course, he would not have chosen to surrender.

Even if Liu Bei is getting stronger now, he will definitely not choose to surrender.

After all, no matter how powerful Liu Bei is, he is still far away from Cao Cao.

He was just thinking that if nothing happened in the future, he would stay in the north.

Don't stay in the Central Plains as much as possible.

Otherwise, he might have been killed.

At the very least, there won't be so many twists and turns in the north.

Even if you kill someone, there will be absolutely no problems...... After all, at this time, Cao Cao had already taken all the north, and only the alien race remained.

Therefore, no matter how much he kills, it will be his merit, and it is impossible to turn it into a weakness of being killed.

But the Central Plains is different from the South.

Who knows when Cao Cao or Cao Ren will change their hexagrams?

Something like this, it's not like Cao Cao hasn't done it!

"Do as you are told."

Of course, although Zhang He was thinking about escaping in his heart, he agreed very decisively, looking like he had to do it.

Cao Ren admired Zhang He even more.

I couldn't help but smile more.

And these smiles are so terrible in Zhang He's opinion.

The point is, he also had to lose his smile.

……

Meanwhile.

"Ziji thinks ......?"

Liu Bei was asking Chen Feng.

"Hmmm......"

After Chen Feng thought about it for a while, his eyes lit up and said: "What else do you want to think about at this time, of course you will continue to march!" ”

"The so-called pursuit of victory is nothing more than that."

"Good."

Liu Bei smiled and nodded, and then gave the order to continue the attack.
