Zhuge was reborn, killed the old thief Sima

Chapter 706 Cao Zhen’s Decision ([-])

In the eighth year of Cao Wei and Huang Chu, Cao Rui gradually came to the forefront of Cao Wei, and this news quickly spread to Jiangdong.

At this time, it was in the land of Wujun in Jiangdong.

There was another argument in front of Cao Zhen that seemed to never stop.
"Now Sun Quan's demise is imminent, and he is about to be destroyed by our army, but you want to withdraw your troops at this time.

What the hell do you mean! "

"You only see what's in front of you, why don't you look at what we've become behind us!
It has taken too long to get to this point in the battle, and Liu Chan and Zhao Yun are watching eagerly behind us.

Runan is lost, Qichun and Lujiang are now under the attack of Xu Shu and Liu Chan, and are in danger of being attacked from both front and back at any time!

Rebellion broke out in Xuzhou, and a large number of people living in the fields in Huaisi were relocated. The entire Huaisi was almost empty!
As the leading generals, we should think about defeat before winning.

At this time, Shouchun and other places have already separated from Qingxu. If we continue to attack Wu County, we will not only be short of food and fodder, but also in danger of declining morale at any time.

There will be the danger of overturning and becoming a lone army!
At this time, we should return to Shouchun, relocate the people to farm in Huaisi, and reorganize the defense line for the funeral! "

"Damn!
By doing this, wouldn’t it mean that the territory I had finally conquered would be handed over to others?

Are you a subordinate of His Majesty, or a spy of the big-eared thief Liu Xuande? "

"You are just fooling around. This is the perfect moment. If you continue, both sides will suffer. Aren't you worried that Liu Chan will send troops to sneak attack our rear?"

"He Liu Chan is as timid as a mouse, how could he sneak up on us at this time!"

"Is it possible that Zhao Yun is also a coward?"

"you"

"That's enough!" Cao Zhen interrupted their words with a loud shout, and snorted coldly when he saw that everyone in front of him still looked dissatisfied with each other.

"The enemy is currently facing us. What do you want to do? Could it be that there is civil strife?"

After hearing Cao Zhen's furious words, all the generals under his command quickly turned around and apologized to Cao Zhen.

But Cao Zhen is very clear that such a situation is not accidental, and they are not really thinking about the overall situation as they just said.

Rather than saying that they were debating whether to continue fighting or retreat, it was better to say that it was a dispute between Cao Ren, Cao Xiu, Zang Ba and others.

This time, Cao Zhen only had two main troops under his command.

Cao Ren and Cao Xiu's Huaisi headquarters in Yuzhou mainly consisted of soldiers and horses from the southeastern line of the Cao family.

Or the Qingxu soldiers under Zang Ba's command.
At this time, Zang Ba already knew that Xuzhou had changed people at this time, and also knew that Wang Xiang was in charge of Xuzhou at this time.

So he was inevitably a little panicked. After Cao Pi had just succeeded to the throne, the mutiny of Qingxu's army was still fresh in his mind.

What he has done in Qingxu these years is no secret!

Therefore, Zang Ba is eager to return to Xuzhou and regain control of the overall situation. At least he feels that only by returning to Xuzhou can he be qualified to continue, otherwise he cannot guarantee what situation he will face next.

But Cao Xiu and Cao Ren would definitely not agree to this matter, let alone the fact that victory is now in sight.

Just because the battle of Jiangdong was fought like this, there was an intention to take back Qingxu.

Otherwise, wouldn't it be enough to have one Cao Xiu and Cao Ren in a small Jiangdong? As for bringing Cao Zhen, why not just put three of Cao Jun's clansmen, even the three highest-status clansmen here?

All of this had been planned, but no one had expected that things had reached such a stage.

Therefore, Cao Ren and Cao Xiu have not yet come out in person to express their opinions.Cao Xiu even went to Cao Zhen privately to ask what he meant, but his words revealed an intention to persuade him to withdraw.

This seems to have been persuaded by Zang Ba.

Of course, Zang Ba, who also did not end, has already hinted at his opinion.

His sons are all in Luoyang. Although he has some rights, he also knows who gave him these rights and is willing to continue to fight for the Cao family to protect the land of Qingxu.
The meaning was expressed very clearly, and the debate never stopped.

But now more and more news is coming back, and the situation is getting weirder and weirder. Even the generals in Jiangdong now have some not-so-good ideas in their minds.

If they hadn't already reached this point, I'm afraid they wouldn't have thought about turning back.

Cao Zhen looked around the crowd again, looking at Cao Xiu and Zang Ba who had been silent, as well as the old general Cao Ren who had just come back and had not yet expressed his opinions.

Cao Zhen took a deep breath.

"Come on, get the map!"

As Cao Zhen said these words, a large map was carried directly into the tent by several personal guards.

Looking at the map of Yangzhou, Yuzhou and even Qingxu Land, everyone knew that Cao Zhen was probably not idle during this period.

"Actually, I also feel that withdrawing to Huaisi and reorganizing the defense line may be a good choice.

After all, if we continue, we will easily become a lone army, and Xu Shu, Zhao Yun and others are not good at it.

And that Li Yan is constantly running around in the area of ​​Wu County in Kuaiji, like a difficult bandit, which makes us upset.

We have to be cautious when attacking Wujun, which is very detrimental to our military morale! "

When Cao Zhen said these words, Cao Ren's eyes suddenly widened, and Zang Ba's eyes also showed a hint of joy.

In fact, even Cao Xiu became a little entangled at this time.

Of course he would not be Zang Ba's person, but he was indeed moved by Zang Ba's rhetoric of "this time, that time".

I feel that protecting Wei is the top priority at this time.

But even if he gave up like this, Cao Xiu didn't know how to face the court and his majesty.

Just when someone was about to stand up, Cao Zhen interrupted him again, then slowly walked to the map and continued talking to everyone.

"But I thought about it carefully.

Is it really safe to return to Huaisi now? "

"This"

The sudden change of conversation made everyone a little shocked, and at the same time, they also couldn't understand what Cao Zhen wanted to do.

Looking at the large map, Cao Zhen coughed lightly and then put his hand on it.

"This general has done a lot of deductions on this map and finally concluded.
Once we evacuate Wujun and move to Huaisi to re-defense, it will take at most half a year for Jiangdong to change hands and the Han army to make a comeback.

Even Xu Shu, Zhao Yun and others would advance by land and water and directly attack Huaisi.

Attacked from the front and back, Qingxu was taken away together!
When that time comes, everything will be over for me."
