Chapter 406: Room for Turnaround

Cao Cao, who was able to escape from Ascension to Heaven by cutting off the fire in advance, turned his head to look in the direction of Nanyang, and a trace of clarity flashed in his eyes.

"Zhongde, whoever set up this plan, help me find out." The grizzled Cao Cao did not have the slightest decadence, and said to Cheng Yu with a serious expression.

At the same time, in order to avoid making such a mistake again in the future, Cao Cao decided to record this incident thoroughly and put it on his body in order to remind himself in the future.

Cheng Yu took over this matter with a pale face, and looked in the direction of Nanyang full of emotion.

Obviously, everything is so beautiful, Nanyang is at your fingertips, but unfortunately, a fire completely buried everything.

Obviously, he only needs to defeat Ji Ling, and he can take the entire Nanyang at that time, after all, Yuan Shu has not been able to pacify Nanyang for a long time, and the people's hearts have not yet recovered, so take this opportunity to take it, and it can be fixed forever.

And it was originally the time to harvest grain, and after taking Nanyang, it was also possible to collect grain and completely fill the gap in grain.

At that time, Nanyang County will be in hand, and it will be able to form a pincer attack on the entire Runan, and it will be able to cross the land of Yan, Henan, and Jing, and it will also be able to contact Liu Biao and help each other to advance and retreat together.

At that time, the atmosphere of the world will change, and the so-called covenant boss will also be replaced, and Cao Cao will replace Yuan Shao to become the leader.

Whether it is a family or a hero, more people will choose Cao Cao instead of Yuan Shao.

But such a situation, under a fire, is like a flower in a mirror, shattered on the spot.

Under this fire, the choice was to travel lightly, and the loss of the soldiers was not much.

However, the baggage, weapons and armor left in place are basically equivalent to the equipment and materials prepared for tens of thousands of troops when the entire army is wiped out.

That's not something that can be gathered in a while, losing so many things at once, even if Cao Cao's family has a big cause, it can be regarded as hurting his vitality, and he needs to recuperate quietly for a period of time before he can recover.

What's more, during this fire, the soldiers' morale was also affected, and it was difficult to recover after a while.

After this war, I am afraid that it will be difficult to start another war this year.

However, it is possible to take advantage of this time to issue new weapons and armor to the soldiers, so that the soldiers can take this opportunity to recuperate.

As for Cao Cao, his mood at this time was not good, and it could even be said to be quite bad.

Forcibly interrupted by others on the way to the top, it is acceptable.

After all, war, how can it be smooth sailing, and it is understandable that there are victories and defeats.

But this time it was different, I thought it was going to win, but it turned out to be like this.

You know, it is precisely because he knows that he will win that he Cao Cao is so excited.

He even wrote a letter to his father in advance, explaining his achievements and hoping that his father would help him.

With such a vast territory and population in hand, it is naturally worth the Cao family to increase investment and work hard.

However, the defeat of the war, although the soldiers did not lose much, but the material losses were too much.

I don't know if my father is willing to go to Chenliu after receiving this information.

There are many talented people in the family, and if there is the help of the family, the road will be much easier.

Cao Cao couldn't help but think of the people in the family, whether it was his younger brother or the younger generation in the family, there were really a lot of capable people.

Whether it's for the present or for the future, these are good candidates.

It can be trusted, and it can also be trusted.

And their ability and identity can also carry this trust and keep working hard.

Xun You, who began to withdraw his troops from Nanyang, was relatively simple.

As long as you are willing to retreat, you can withdraw from Nanyang at any time.

However, in order to leave more shadows in Nanyang, Xun You delayed some time, but also returned to Yingchuan before Ji Ling's army returned to defense.

At the same time, I have a lot of understanding of the generals in the entire Ji Ling army, and I also have guesses about the people who make suggestions.

"Sure enough, the direct competition for the Central Plains is considered a failure, but fortunately, it can still be implemented according to the previous strategic plan!" Xun You glanced at everyone and sighed slightly.

Fortunately, the road was not completely blocked in a line, and even if it failed, there was still room for reversal.

However, the Sili region, I'm afraid it's not so easy to calculate.

The generals of Xiliang are not necessarily all fools, let's test their personalities first.

Let's see if there's a suitable person and get in touch with them first.

Trouble, no matter how much scheming there is, it must be based on strength after all, and I don't know how much the lord has lost this time.

I hope that the loss is not much, and it can be made up, time, hey~

At this time, Yuan Shu was still in Nanyang, and when he heard that Xun You's army was raging in Nanyang, he was still quite angry.

He was about to draw troops from other places and forcibly destroy this legion, but not long after, news came that the troublesome army had retreated.

At the same time, Ji Ling's battle report also followed, completely soothing the irritable heart in Yuan Shu's heart.

"Go, investigate, see how much Cao Mengde has lost, hundreds of miles of fire, I don't know if Cao Mengde is still alive?" Yuan Shu glanced at the person beside him and said very calmly.

For Cao Cao, Yuan Shu's mentality is more complicated, everyone used to be friends, but now they see each other, but they can't say anything.

After all, they have grown up, and after all, they must be responsible for their actions, whether it is for the shepherd side or for the ambition in their hearts, it is doomed, and someone must lie down.

Only the victors will be able to judge and summarize their actions, and nothing else matters.

But if it was possible, Yuan Shu still hoped that Cao Cao would be alive, after all, to their extent, there were fewer and fewer people who could talk about what they were talking about in their hearts, and they could quarrel with each other.

As for the content in Ji Ling's battle report, Yuan Shu just took a brief look at it to determine who should be rewarded and who should be punished, and then turned it over directly.

"I didn't expect Bo Fu and Gong Jin to have such abilities, but Sun Wentai gave birth to a good son." Yuan Shu looked at the battle report in his hand and said with emotion.

If his son of Yuan Shu could also be like Sun Ce, it would be great, and it would be even better if he could be like Zhou Yu.

It's a pity that these two excellent characters have their own ideals and choices, and it is difficult to shake them by words alone.

After learning about the recent situation, Yuan Shu thought about the situation of his family and the current situation in Nanyang, and finally decided to go from Nanyang to Runan, move to Pingyu, and coordinate the entire rule there.

After thinking about it carefully, I decided to implement it according to my previous thoughts.
