Chapter 8 The key to victory lies within!

Cao Cao's words were full of helplessness and unwillingness!
Now Liu Jingsheng, the housekeeper dog in Jingzhou, is critically ill.

The aristocratic families also controlled the military and political power in Jingxiang.

At this time, Xinye Liu Bei was watching with eager eyes, and the Jiangdong Sun family was ready to make a move!
It can be said that Jingzhou is definitely suffering from internal and external troubles.

On the surface it looks calm as water, but in reality it is like duckweed in the wind.

Therefore, the most promising time for Cao Cao to win Jingzhou is now!
But if you miss this golden opportunity.

Let Liu Bei or Sun Quan and others occupy Jingzhou.

After that, you will have to pay ten times or even a hundred times the price.

Only then can we go south again and clear out all the gangsters!

Moreover, as he grew older, Cao Cao felt more and more that time was not waiting for me.

There is not much time left for Cao Cao to unify the world!
Thinking of this, he also asked a little feebly:
"God's will cannot be done. Is it destined that Cao will not be able to achieve unified hegemony?"

Cheng Yu is the oldest counselor in Cao Cao's army.

At this time, he also spoke out to persuade: "Lord!"

"I agree with what Xun Gongda said!"

"As the saying goes, the right time is not as good as the right location, and the right geographical location is not as good as the people!"

"The best policy now is to preserve our strength and try to make progress."

"If we force ourselves to go south, I'm afraid my lord's body will be worth ten thousand gold."

At this point, he stopped talking at the right time.

As a confidant who has followed Cao Cao for many years.

What Cheng Yu paid most attention to was Cao Cao himself.

After all, the plague is ruthless, if it continues to stay like this.

If the lord himself is infected with the disease, the problem will be even greater!
And Cao Cao obviously understood what Cheng Yu meant.

I couldn't help but sigh: "Why don't I know Zhongde's intention?"

"only."

Having said this, Cao Cao also turned his attention to Jia Xu.

In recent years, Jia Xu has made many ingenious plans for Cao Cao.

Cao Cao sent troops this time to remove Xun Yu who was staying in Xudu.

Among the three counselors in the tent, only Jia Xu remained silent from beginning to end.

Oh, maybe there's one more.

That is Cao Cao's current military advisor, Sima De.

But this guy didn't have a high sense of presence because he joined the team relatively late.

And he hasn't arrived yet, so Cao Cao can't take care of him at this time.

So Cao Cao could only ask Jia Xu:

"Does Wen He have any good ideas in mind to relieve my worries?"

Jia Xu also raised his eyebrows when he heard this.

Originally, he had no intention of getting involved in this matter.

Because of the Battle of Wancheng that year.

He has always been taciturn under Cao Cao.

But since the lord called his name, he couldn't help but stand up.

He bowed and said, "Prime Minister, I have no good plan."

Cao Cao was immediately disappointed when he heard this.

But then Jia Xu changed the subject and said:

"But Prime Minister, although Xu has no good plan, he has a worry!"

"I don't know if I should tell you or not?"

Upon hearing this, Cao Cao and all the civil and military officials stared at Jia Xu!

Before Sima De came to prominence.

Jia Xu is actually a world-famous poisoner!
And as Sima De’s senior.

Jia Wenhe is not only famous for his ruthless tactics, but also for his thoughtfulness.

Now hearing what he said, everyone was suddenly curious?

After all, Jia Xu is not the kind of person who tries to please the public with no purpose.

Cao Cao also waved his hand and said, "Wen He just talks!"

Jia Xu paused and said:
"What Shicai Gongda and Zhong Degong said are sound strategies."

"But withdrawing troops back to Xudu at this time may not be a good thing!"

As soon as the words fell, everyone present was confused by Jia Xu's words.

At this time, what would Xu Du do if he didn't return to the army?

Xun You blurted out and asked: "What does Wen He mean?"

Jia Xu also continued to explain:
"Since we want to control the plague in the army, how can we return to Xudu?"

"If the whole army returns to Xuchang, I am afraid that the people in Xudu City will suffer!"

"This move is tantamount to adding fuel to the fire."

Cao Cao's expression suddenly changed when he heard this!
Everyone in the tent was shocked when they heard this!

Jia Xu is really thoughtful and has even thought of the possible consequences!
Moreover, what he said is definitely possible!
If the plague is brought back to Xudu, then this time it will not only be a fruitless effort.

On the contrary, it will trigger riots in your own base camp!
Cao Cao also frowned at this time and asked quickly: "In that case, does Wen He have any strategies to solve this crisis?!"

When Jia Xu was asked this question, he replied awkwardly:

"Prime Minister, I don't have any good plans at the moment."

Cao Cao's eyes dimmed when he heard this.

As the saying goes, you can raise an army for a thousand days and use it for a while!
Forget about those generals who only know how to fight.

These military think tanks are helpless!

This made him, the hero, a little disappointed.

This situation of being unable to advance or retreat is also frustrating.

Depressed, Cao Cao also became a little angry.

I just feel that my old problem of having a headache is starting to happen!
He waved his hand somewhat helplessly and said:
"That's all, you guys, please step back."

"Let me rest for a while and discuss this matter again!"

But at this time.

There was a sound of leisurely footsteps.

Sima De, who had been late for a long time, finally walked into the tent.

I saw Boss Cao and everyone arriving.

He also raised his hands and said, "Ming Gong, gentlemen."

"De is late for something, please forgive me! Forgive me!"

Look at this kid coming in so carelessly.

He also had such a playful and smiling face.

The mature and prudent Cheng Yu could not help but twitch the corner of his mouth and said:
"Mr. Sima, it's so pleasant!"

"We are racking our brains for important military matters."

"That's good, sir. Forget it's a little late."

"You are so cynical and cynical, it makes me so envious!"

Sima De was also stunned when he heard this.

How could he not tell that Lao Deng was making fun of himself?

However, the good ones have been in the army for a few days.

He already knows a lot about the tempers of these colleagues!
Naturally, he would not have the same knowledge as Cheng Yu, an old-fashioned and cunning old man.

Thinking of this, he also smiled slightly and said:
"Hey! Mr. Cheng's words are wrong!"

"I am not responsible for major military affairs!"

"The prime minister and the princes are responsible for important matters."

"Trivial matters are handled by military officials."

"What do I have to worry about?"

When Cheng Yu heard this, he was so angry that he blew his beard and stared!

This boy, like me, lives on the king's salary, but he doesn't want to share the king's worries?
He looked like he was doing nothing all day long.

Say a few words to him, and he still makes sense!

Just when he was about to speak out and teach this young man a few words.

I saw that Cao Cao, who was in charge, stopped the old-fashioned Cheng Yu.

He didn't even have time to fight with Sima De.

The good old man Xun You sighed and said to Sima De:

"Renda doesn't know something, but now there's a plague in the army!"

"There have been many dead, and countless sick soldiers!"

"If we march into new lands, we are afraid that the plague will spread rampantly."

"If we retreat from Xudu, the lives of all the people in the capital will be devastated!"

“Now that we can’t move forward or retreat, it’s really a headache!”

Sima De almost laughed out loud when he heard this.

But he said leisurely:
"What do I think it is? That I leave you all so helpless?"

"So that's what happened?"

Hearing this, the civil and military officials in the tent also cast surprised looks.

Cheng Yu snorted coldly.

Obviously he couldn't stand the unruly Sima De.

You are making fun of everyone here again.

You might as well come up with an idea to help relieve the Lord's worries!
At this time, even Cao Cao looked at Sima De with a frown.

And Sima Dejian has already whetted everyone's appetite!
He also said calmly:
"I can solve Duke Ming's worries with a plan."

"Although the plague cannot be eradicated, it can reach new fields!"

When Cao Cao heard this, he stood up immediately!

The cases in front of me were almost overturned to the ground!
He ignored the tea spilled on the floor in front of him and asked excitedly:

"Renda really has a clever plan to save the army? Sir, please teach me!"

Sima De, however, remained calm and asked calmly:
"My lord, don't panic. Since the plague is ruthless, it can't be done by humans."

"That's the way to defeat the enemy and win!"
