Chapter 614 612. Jia Xu: Leading troops into the urn (please subscribe for a monthly ticket)

In Weishi County, Cao Cao couldn't control Cao Pi's thoughts, and he had been feeling distressed for several days.

Cao Zhang was really dead. The soldiers who ran back said that Cao Zhang committed suicide by Zhang Fei's sword in order to inspire them to fight.

His yellow beard!

Cao Cao was depressed for two days. On the third day, he decided that he must avenge his son.

He is already old, he can't let his son die!

The troops and horses he has now are not at a disadvantage if he is defending the city.

But if this war continues for a long time, there will inevitably be chaos in his rear, and perhaps, there has already been chaos.

Cao Cao's guess was correct. The news that his 100,000-strong army had been defeated and that only 30,000 were left had begun to spread in the north.

The major families in the north remembered that the emperor was taken away by Liu Bei and Cao Cao lost the first battle, and they were ready to take action.

Prime Minister's House.

Xun You and Cao Zhi both started to get angry.

It was fine if the emperor was robbed, but unexpectedly, news of Cao Cao's defeat spread.

"My lord, I am afraid that everyone everywhere will raise the flag of rebellion." Xun You looked at Cao Zhi, "I also ask your lord to take the women and children in the house first and go to Chenliu to join the lord. Only with the protection of the army can we be safe."

Cao Zhi was stunned for a moment, then shook his head, "No, we have to defend the rear for our father."

Xun You smiled bitterly, "If Wen Ruo is here, you can still be somewhat sure, but Wen Ruo must be involved in the emperor's robbery!"

Cao Zhi still shook his head.

Xun Yu's status and achievements have been clear to him since he was a child.

Xun Yu's choice at this time was beyond everyone's expectations, but he also knew that his father would not blame him.

In addition, Xun You still worked for Cao Cao, so he did not touch the Xun family.

"Sir, your Majesty... is here." The attendant lowered his head and reported.

"Your Majesty?" Xun You and Cao Zhi looked at each other, "Please come quickly."

The two of them said that and hurried out of the house.

Xun Yu was dressed in civilian clothes and Shi Shiran was standing outside the prime minister's house.

He already knew about Cao Cao's defeat in the first battle. At this time, Xun You and Cao Zhi should be very worried.

Why did he come here?

Looking at the plaque of the Prime Minister's Mansion, Xun Yu sighed. After all, there was still something hard to let go of in his heart.

"I've met Uncle Shi."

"uncle."

Xun You and Cao Zhi saluted Xun Yu.

Xun Yu returned the gift.

"Where did uncle come from?" Xun You asked.

They already knew Xun Yu's choice, but why did Xun Yu come here?

"Look at you." Xun Yu smiled, "Won't you invite me in for a cup of tea?"

Cao Zhi and Xun You looked at each other again and invited Xun Yu in.

"But are you in trouble?" Seeing the expressions of the two of them, Xun Yu asked.

"Didn't uncle ask knowingly?" Xun You frowned and said helplessly.

"If I asked knowingly, then Gongda did it knowingly." Xun Yu smiled and patted the other party's shoulder, "We have been fighting for most of our lives, hasn't Gongda looked away yet?"

"Uncle Shi is here to persuade us to surrender?" Cao Zhi seemed to have heard it. Xun Yu was probably not well-intentioned when he came this time.

"No, it's to protect the lives of the Cao family." Xun Yu still smiled, "After all, I have had a friendship with Duke Cao for more than ten years. I can't bear to see his descendants leave and be destroyed."

Cao Zhi was silent, and Xun You was also stunned, because Xun Yu's words meant that Cao Cao would be defeated.

The two smiled bitterly, not knowing what to do.

"In the past few days, I have troubled Gongda and Young Master to take care of Xun." Xun Yu was not polite.

If I want to have a clear conscience, I have to run back and forth. Cao Cao will not have supplies for the war ahead, because once Gan Ning sends Liu Xie off and returns to the vicinity of Baima in Liyang, it will cut off the connection between Cao Cao and Yecheng.

The news of Cao Cao's defeat in the first battle has just arrived. In three days at the latest, someone will definitely start taking action.

Instigating rebellion or attacking a city is one thing, but obtaining Cao Cao's wife and children would be another great achievement. After all, he had known Cao Cao for so many years, and he couldn't bear to see Cao Cao's heirs end up like this.

Xun You and Cao Zhi had no choice but to agree.

The two did not avoid Xun Yu to discuss how to deal with the rebellions in various places, nor did they ask Xun Yu for advice. They just regarded Xun Yu as a transparent person.

But after three days of discussion, there was nothing we could do.

The previous arrangement was already the best defense they could make.

If this still fails to suppress the rebellions in various places, there is nothing they can do because they have no extra troops in their hands.

Three days later, news of a rebellion in Shangdang came.

In the following days, rebellions broke out in every county in the Northland.

Yecheng was also quiet for a long time, and then there were more sounds of swordsmanship that night.

Xun Yu sighed slightly, thinking that he was repaying Cao Cao's kindness.

Wei family.

Cao Cao and Zhang Fei have been facing each other for nearly ten days.

Although there are still supplies such as tung oil and ointment in the county, it is difficult to defeat Liu Bei's army with these small supplies.

On Tongxu's side, Liu Bei confronted Cao Ren.

On the other side of Hanoi, he also knew the news about Xu Shu's escape.

Thinking of these, he still felt his head hurt.

The situation was really unfavorable for him.

After these days, he believed that the news of his unfavorable first battle must have spread, and perhaps, he had caught fire in the rear.

His entire family might also suffer from military disaster.

"Prime Minister, we have to find a way." Cao Chun lost 10,000 tiger and leopard cavalry that night, and was seriously injured himself. Now he has been recovering for a few days and looks much better. "It will not be good for us if we delay it any longer."

"Is there anything Zihe can do?" Cao Cao asked.

"Lead the troops into the urn." Cao Chun did not answer, but Jia Xu said.

"Introducing troops into a trap?" Cao Cao looked at Jia Xu, "Wen He elaborated."

"On this day of confrontation, Zhang Fei definitely wanted to attack the city as soon as possible, but he has not taken any action yet. He must be thinking about how to attack the city." Jia Xu said, "Now that we are defending the city, our strength is not at a disadvantage. Zhang Fei wants to attack by force. It’s difficult, so he will definitely try his best.”

Cao Cao nodded, "Not bad."

"Although the wealthy households in the Wei family are the ones who supply food and grass to our army, there is no guarantee that they will not defect to Liu Bei." Jia Xu said again, "Based on Xu's tests in the past few days, these wealthy households in Wei's County have long been disloyal. .”

"Seriously?" Cao Cao's eyes lit up.

"That's right." Jia Xu nodded, "Moreover, most of Zhang Fei's soldiers are from the south, and the southlanders are good at water. The rivers in Weishi County are developed, making it difficult to defend."

Cao Cao narrowed his eyes, "So Wen He wants to design it?"

"Yes, in the name of a wealthy man, we lured Zhang Fei's army into the city, and then attacked with fire behind closed doors. Although we injured the enemy one thousand and lost eight hundred, if we can weaken the enemy's strength as much as possible, we will win."

"What Wen He said is absolutely true!" Cao Cao was moved.

It is true that he has an advantage in military strength, but his disadvantage in armor is also very clear.

If Zhang Fei's army could be damaged by ten thousand or twenty thousand, his side could be replaced with better armor. When fighting, the soldiers would have more courage and less gaps.

Ordinary fires would be difficult to burn these armors. It would burn them black, or burn the wires at the joints. Then they could be reused as long as they were repaired.

"In this way, it will be hard work and peace."
