Uncle Emperor, I am really not Wolong Zhuge!

Chapter 211 Cao Cao
Chapter 208 Cao Cao

"Don't worry, Mr. Fengchu, everything is on Lu Su's side, there will never be any mistakes!"

Lu Su's hand holding the brocade bag trembled slightly. At this moment, he felt that the brocade bag in his palm was as heavy as a mountain!

……

Hefei, in Cao Ying.

At this moment, Xu Huang was like an ant in a hot pot, with no way to the sky and no way to the earth.

"General, the three thousand stones of food and grass I raised from Danyang are just a drop in the bucket for the 350,000-strong army and cannot solve the problem at all. Now in three days, the army will run out of food."

Jiang Ji's brows were furrowed and he was worried: "I'm a general, so it's better to make plans to retreat early. If the food and grass are exhausted, it will be difficult to retreat!"

"There is still a lot to be done in two days. As long as the soldiers and horses are dispersed into the Central Plains, distributed to various states, cities, and counties, and broken into parts, they can be properly settled."

Xu Huang walked back and forth, sighing, shaking his head and saying nothing.

He is a famous general in Cao Ying. He has fought countless battles in his life and made many military exploits. Now he comes to Hefei and loses Xiahou Mao in the first battle. He has to retreat before he can rescue him?
Although food and grass are no longer available, it is expedient to withdraw the troops. Naturally, the Prime Minister will not blame him, but whether it is nice to say or not, this will be a stain that he will never be able to erase in his life!

The 300,000-strong army retreated without a fight under the leadership of Xu Huang!

Even in the history of China, it will be a big joke!
"Now the troops in Hefei have been grabbing food nearby, disturbing the people and causing bad influence."

Jiang Ji said helplessly.

"This……"

Xu Huang's eyebrows stood up!
If in peacetime, he runs the army strictly, and anyone who dares to disturb the people will do so according to military law!

But currently...

Jiang Ji sighed and said: "One move can affect the whole body, and the three armies have to do it as a last resort. If we still stick to common sense now, I am afraid it will cause the soldiers and horses to boil with resentment, and the 350,000 troops will no longer be owned by me..."

Once out of control...

The corners of Xu Huang's mouth moved slightly, but the corners of his eyes were trembling rapidly!
The army and bandits are originally a family. If not managed well, 300,000 soldiers and horses can evolve into a very powerful and harmful banditry in an instant!
Burning, killing, and looting will leave endless troubles, and his sins will be even greater because of this!
How to do!
retreat?
Do I, Xu Huang, really have to lose all my fame in this life?
But if you don’t retreat, the consequences will be even more serious!

Why were there no replies to the letters sent to Prime Minister Cao of Wancheng and Lord Xun of Xuchang, and no military rations were delivered?

"There is no need to discuss right or wrong, success or failure. For the current plan, we just want to minimize the losses! In the end, please make a decision as soon as possible, general!"

Jiang Ji was beside him, his eyes following Xu Huang as he walked back and forth.

"Tomorrow!"

Xu Huang finally stopped, raised his head and sighed.

"Tomorrow morning, if there is no more food and grass, we will immediately retreat and evacuate in three directions: Qingzhou, Wancheng, and Xudu!"

Xu Huang finally made up his mind!
"But what about those who robbed people's property? How should we deal with them? Officials from several places came to see them today. I dismissed them by saying that you were not in the army and sent them back. They will definitely come back tomorrow..."

Jiang Ji was once the governor of Danyang and was highly regarded by Prime Minister Cao. It is precisely because of this that the local officials obeyed his advice and did not dare to disobey.

"forget it!"

Xu Huang waved his hand: "It's a special matter, so there's no need to pursue it!"

Jiang Ji was stunned. He didn't expect that the always wise general Xu Huang would be so perfunctory: "Generals are the strictest in running the army. Is it possible that today's incident will not be held accountable? How can we explain it to the local people? You know that in the past month, because of There is a shortage of food and grass in the army, and several nearby states and counties are cutting back on food and clothing, which has helped a lot. Is this how we repay kindness with resentment? "

Xu Huang was extremely upset and sneered anxiously: "I am responsible for the armed forces, but not the people around me!"

"How to appease the people is a matter for local officials. What does it have to do with me?"

"This matter will not be pursued! This is my military order!!" Xu Huang stared at Jiang Ji with an angry look.

"Good! Good!"

"If the situation escalates in the future and gets brought to the attention of the Prime Minister, don't blame me for reporting it truthfully!"

Jiang Ji's eyebrows trembled in anger and he left trembling.

"Ugh!"

After Jiang Ji left, Xu Huang slowly walked out of the house alone and stood in the courtyard.

At this moment, he suddenly felt exhausted, and an inexplicable feeling of loneliness rose in his chest!
It was a kind of loneliness and helplessness like being surrounded from all sides!

"Prime Minister!"

"Xun Lingjun!"

"Do you know that my Hefei soldiers have no food left in their mouths?"

Xu Huang smiled bitterly again!
"I came to Hefei with great ambition."

"I originally expected that after I came here, I would devote my loyalty and wisdom to doing something great in order to repay the kindness of the Prime Minister."

"However, I didn't expect that since I came to Hefei, there has been no fighting in half a month, but I have been worried about food and grass all the time!"

"Withdrawing the troops just like that? Shame!"

He looked in the direction of Wancheng and Xuchang and prayed secretly. Although he would withdraw his troops tomorrow, he still had a glimmer of hope!
Maybe military reinforcements will arrive tonight?

Jiangdong camp, Sun Quan's tent.

"Zijing, have you heard that Cao Cao of Wancheng has ordered Cao Ren to carry 300,000 shi of military rations and rush to Hefei under the stars at night? In two or three days, we can reach Hefei?"

Seeing Lu Su rushing over, Sun Quan hurriedly took a step forward, reached out and grabbed Lu Su's hand, and said anxiously.

"I only found out about this just after hearing General Tai Shici's message."

Lu Su did not dare to tell Sun Quan that Jingzhou's scouts had found out about this matter ten days ago, and Jiangdong's scouting system was so outdated and outdated that it was no longer the same as Jingzhou's post-conquest system.

"When you and Mr. Kong Ming persuaded me to personally conquer Hefei, you once said that what I rely on is a quick victory, launching an offensive before the enemy's food and grass arrive, and winning in one battle!"

"But now, although Zhang Liao from Hefei has not come, Xu Huang has taken his place, but we have been standing still. Now that the food and grass are coming, as a military advisor, you can tell me what you think, so as to relieve the hesitation in Gu Gu's heart. "

Lu Su looked at Tai Shici beside him, who saw Gan Ning Cheng Pu, Jia Hua, Song Qian and other generals. He smiled slightly and pretended to be calm.

If an hour ago, he himself was in the dark and didn't know why he stood still. Fortunately, before the attack, Pang Tong had already given him the tips and explained the whole story. At this time, he could use it on the spot.

"My lord, the reason why Lu Su is standing still is because he is waiting for an opportunity!"

"Opportunity? What opportunity?"

Taishi Ci could not help but ask.

"Last time we acted in front of Xiahou Mao, saying that soldiers and horses from Jingzhou had arrived to help us attack the enemies of Hefei from both sides. However, after many days, Jingzhou's soldiers and horses did not expect to arrive. Instead, Cao Ren's 50,000-strong army and three soldiers arrived. One hundred thousand stones of food and grass..."

Gan Ning and Cheng Pu looked at each other and said with a wry smile.

Sun Quan did not speak, his eyes remained on Lu Su, waiting for him to continue.

"No!"
