Three Kingdoms: The rebellion was eavesdropped by Cao Cao

Chapter 622 The recent situation after Cao Su left
at the same time!

In Xuchang city!

Cao Cao was listening to the hasty reports of the military situation in the capital, his eyes were a little tired, but he was still supporting his head with his hands, thinking carefully about the corresponding countermeasures!
Among these military affairs, there are Jingzhou, Nanjun, Jiangdong and Liu Bei!
But the only thing that gave him a headache was the Hefei area!
What he didn't expect was that this week Yushang was still watching Jingzhou, and Sun Quan came to Hefei with troops to attack him!
Who is he, Cao Cao!
When he heard that Hefei was in a hurry, he immediately understood Sun Quan's intentions!

This kid wants to take back the military power in Zhou Yu's hands, let him retreat quickly, and stop entangled with Liu Bei too much!

As soon as Zhou Yu withdrew his troops, the area around Jingxiang fell into Liu Bei's hands completely. With his little troops, he couldn't stop Cao Jun's attack at all!
Thinking of this, Cao Cao couldn't help but took a deep breath, and waved his hands to signal everyone to quiet down!
"Everyone, what do you think about the emergency in Hefei?"

Xun Yu had also seen through the clues at this time, and hurriedly cupped his hands and said:
"My lord, the emergency in Hefei this time is really a lie!"

Cao Cao glanced a little appreciatively, Xun Yu is worthy of being a counselor and civil servant who has been with him for so many years, he never has to deliberately guide anything to make him say what he wants to say!

"Oh? How do you say this?"

Cao Cao asked knowingly.

Xun Yu said again:

"Although Sun Quan suddenly dispatched troops to attack Hefei, it seemed that the offensive was fierce, but in fact his real goal was in Jingzhou!"

As soon as these words came out, the other soldiers present were stunned!

When Sun Quan attacked Hefei, he obviously wanted to expand north while they were recuperating. How could it be related to Jingzhou?
However, others couldn't see through it, but Cao Cao didn't refute Xun Yu, and continued to ask:

"Wen Ruo, why do you say that Sun Quan intends to stay in Jingzhou? He has already ordered Zhou Yu to withdraw from the army, obviously because he doesn't want him to have another conflict with Liu Bei!"

"No!" Xun Yu shook his head and said, "My lord, I think that Sun Quan's situation in Hefei will never be told to Zhou Yu. If my guess is correct, Sun Quan must have wanted to attack Hefei, or even pretended not to attack Hefei." Enemy, isn't it?"

Cao Cao nodded after hearing this, "You're right, Hefei is in an emergency, but Sun Quan didn't attack it all at once, instead he continued to deal with the soldiers in the city!"

Xun Yu became more determined, "It can be seen from this that Sun Quan and Zhou Yu are definitely not monolithic. The reason for this is to let Zhou Yu withdraw from the Jingxiang area, thus creating a situation where Jingzhou is empty and Liu Bei is alone, and then lures us to wait. Attack Jingzhou and fight with Liu Bei so that they can reap the benefits!"

Snapped!
As soon as this remark came out, Cao Cao slapped the seat handle with a slap, his expression full of admiration!
"Wen Ruo's words won my heart. Sun Quan's son must have wanted to use this kind of person's wishful thinking, so he attacked Hefei just now, and made a lot of noise!"

However, at this point, the excitement on Cao Cao's face gradually receded, "But even so, Liu Bei has no support from Jiangdong, but only [-] soldiers and horses. This kind of temptation is really coveted!"

"Since that's the case! Let me wait and take down the big-eared thief in one fell swoop!"

Hearing this, Xu Chu couldn't help but stand up and ask for a job!

"Yes, Prime Minister! Sun Quan wants to reap the benefits of being a fisherman, how can there be such a good thing? I wait for an army of 80 to overwhelm the border, and still can't win Jingzhou?"

"It's only [-] soldiers and horses, and they will be crushed to death. Why do you need to encourage so many?"

With Xu Chu taking the lead, the other generals were also extremely excited, jumping out one after another to plead for orders!

But Cao Cao didn't agree immediately, but continued to stare at Xun Yu!
Seeing this, Xun Yu hesitated for a moment, then took a deep breath and said:
"My lord! I think that! Do not attack Jingzhou!"

As soon as these words came out, the noisy scene fell silent instantly, and the generals all looked at him with puzzled expressions!
Cao Cao raised his eyebrows slightly, "What's the reason?"

Xun Yu said:

"My lord, first of all, since Sun Quan has made such a decision, he must have already made a counterattack plan. The city of Jingzhou is extremely high, easy to defend and difficult to attack. Even if an army of 80 goes out to attack, it will take at least half a month to capture it. , if I wait for the trick, if I know it's a trap and still sneak in, then I will definitely be caught off guard by his counterattack!"

"Secondly, even though we were not defeated in the Battle of Chibi, we still withdrew our troops in a hurry. This is because the food roads were destroyed. Now the food roads have not yet been built. If we go out hastily, we will once again put our soldiers in danger!"

"Thirdly, Liu Bei is not as weak as we imagined. His subordinates Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, and Zhao Yun are all first-class fierce generals. If you attack, you will only become a snipe and a clam, and you will never become a fisherman!"

Xun Yu came slowly, and clearly analyzed the pros and cons of it!
Hearing that all the soldiers present were speechless, even those who wanted to take the lead in the battle could not find any reason to refute him!
And Cao Cao nodded frequently, seeming to agree with Xun Yu's point of view very much!
Then went on to ask:

"Even if we don't send troops, the initiative is still in Sun Quan's hands. As long as he lets Zhou Yu retreat, Hefei will definitely fall. The gain outweighs the loss! Then how should we deal with the enemy?"

As soon as these words fell, even Xun Yu, who had just talked so eloquently, fell silent!
The others looked at each other in blank dismay, not knowing why!
With Sun Quan's move, he almost made himself invincible, and it seemed inappropriate to let them make any decisions!
Cao Cao looked at this and that, and immediately showed disappointment!

"Is it because Sun Quan has an expert behind him, or is it that I, Cao Cao, have no ministers who can conspire with me? Over the years, my virtuous younger brother has spoiled you all. Each of you claims to be a talent, but you can't play a role at critical moments. It's really embarrassing!"

After hearing this, everyone showed embarrassment, lowered their heads and dared not speak!
Why didn't they think so in their hearts!
When Cao Su was around, he was always the one who plotted against these famous people in the world. How did they ever suffer such secret losses in their schemes?
Now that he is gone, so many people can't even come up with a good countermeasure, which really makes people feel a little ironic!
After everyone was silent for a long time, finally Xun Yu said:
"My lord, I believe that under the current situation, we should send a general who is capable of supporting Hefei quickly. As long as Hefei can be held and Sun Quan can be held back, his strategy of attacking east and west can be disintegrated. Of course, this support must be rapid. Galloping in the starry night, you can't send too many soldiers, otherwise Sun Quan will definitely find other gaps!"

As soon as these words came out, everyone's eyes lit up, thinking that this method is feasible!

Even Cao Cao thought it was good!
It seems that at the critical moment, you have to rely on the old minister!

"Wen Ruo's words are indeed feasible, but now there is a new problem. Who should we...send to guard Hefei?"
