Chapter 499 Four Fierce Eight Sledgehammers ([-]) First Change

Cao Cao never expected that Dong Bi's reaction would be so quick.

Of course, he also didn't expect that Liu Bei and Liu Biao actually teamed up, causing Linying's defense line to collapse suddenly, and Xuchang was in a hurry.

Cao Ren is dead...

Xu Chu and Lu Su are also dead!

What surprised him the most was that Han Qiong, who was originally subordinate to Yuan Shao, unexpectedly surrendered to Dong Pi unexpectedly.

It was definitely not Cao Cao's original intention to negotiate peace with Yuan Shao.

If it wasn't for the critical situation, he would definitely take advantage of the victory to pursue and completely wipe out Yuan Shao.But the form cannot be controlled by others, and Dong Bi's power is getting stronger and stronger. Cao Cao really needs someone like Yuan Shao to contain part of Dong Pi's power.At the same time, Cao Cao is also very clear that even if he wins the battle of Onozawa, if he wants to eat and digest Yuan Shao's power, he will not be able to do it in a few years.

Therefore, he wants to negotiate peace with Yuan Shao.

On the other hand, it is also to relieve the pressure in the west, so that the passage between Chenliu and Yingchuan can be kept open, so that they can quickly return to Shiyingchuan.Unexpectedly, as soon as he started negotiations with Yuan Shao, Yuan Shao's West Route Army broke away from Yuan Shao's control.

Is there still a need to talk about it?

The current situation is very clear, Yuan Shao's Jizhou can no longer be preserved, including Yuan Shao himself, whether he can return to Yecheng alive is still in two debates.The most frightening thing is that what Cao Cao has been worrying about happened.Dong Bi moved, and the movement was very big.

In mid-July, Han Qiong and Wenpin joined forces to seize Bo County.

The 3 troops from Yuanju to Tongting stretched out their defenses, and completely blocked the way for Cao Cao's troops to rescue Xuchang.

At the same time, Huang Zhong's You Yi Army also took action.

Starting from the big and small Xiuwu, the soldiers are divided into two groups.Huang Zhong led 5 troops to occupy Chaoge and besiege Yecheng.

Yuexi, the deputy governor of the Youyi Army, cooperated with Qu Yi, the governor of the Beiwei Army, to invade Jizhou and occupy Sheguo (now Shexian County, Hebei), which made Jizhou suddenly panic.The eldest son Yuan Tan, who stayed behind in Xindu, immediately led his troops in an attempt to recapture the country, but it was in vain.

As for Youzhou, Tian Yu, the governor of the troll left army (formerly the left army of the Qihuo army), sent troops from Youbeiping to attack Daijun. Zhang Liao, the governor of the troll right army, led an army of [-] troops. The county attacked Taiyuan fiercely; Hao Zhao, the governor of the Chinese army, took Dianman as the vanguard, occupied Mayi even more, went around Yinguan and entered the Great Wall, and captured Yuanping.

All of this happened so suddenly... It was so sudden that people couldn't react at all.

Cao Cao Chen Bing in Jishi City, looking at the battle report in front of him, only felt dizzy for a while, and said in his heart: It's over, it's over!

Yi Ji, Man Chong, Xun You and the others all looked at each other in blank dismay.

Everyone looked at each other, but no one stood up and came up with an appropriate solution.A pair of eyes stared at Cao Cao who was sitting in the center, waiting for Cao Cao to speak.Above the lobby, there was a moment of silence, and even everyone's heartbeat could be heard clearly.

After a long time, Cao Cao suddenly smashed the desk hard.

"At this point, we can only fight to the death with that bastard. The order...Cao Chun Xiahou Dun led the troops from the East Road, and rushed to join them. Qingzhou Governor is in charge of Haidu Shanyang; ordered Zheng Hun, governor of Qingzhou affairs. I You must use all your strength to fight this idiot to the death."

"Prime Minister!"

Xun You said: "Don't forget Liu Bei from Xuzhou."

"I will never forget it, but now, if I can't defeat the idiot, how can I solve the thief?"

Think about it too, anyway, the left and right are dead, and Cao Cao can only fight with all his strength.At least for now, he still has Qingzhou soldiers and horses to mobilize.

Cao Cao is a very decisive person, once he has made up his mind, he will act vigorously.

But just as he was dispatching his troops, a scout broke into the mansion, "Report!"

"What's the panic?"

"The governor of Qingzhou sent someone to deliver a letter. Two days ago, Dong Zei's navy landed from Changyang, Donglai County without anyone noticing..."

Cao Cao's head buzzed, and he almost passed out.

"Changyang, how can I land from there? Guan Hai can explain that it is indeed the people from Guanzhong? Which team? Who is the commander?"

Tan Ma said: "The people who landed from Changyang are the Guanzhong Liaodong Navy. The commander is Ling Cao, the governor of the navy. The first to log in is Ling Cao's son, the young general Ling Tong... In addition, there are Zhenhai General Niu Gang, Zhe Chong Wei Dianfu, Wei Dianyou, the governor of Youzhou."

"Navy, which team is this?"

A few years ago, Dong Pi attacked Hanzhong with an invincible army, which made the princes of all walks of life panic.

Now, Cao Cao seems to have seen that scene again.Another army that has never appeared before, how many troops are still hidden in Guanzhong?

In the midst of panic, another spy came to report: Lu Meng led the troops to occupy Changping, cutting off the passage of Chen Guo to rescue Xuchang.

Xuchang, it's over...

If before this, whether it is Cao Cao or the subordinates, there is still a glimmer of hope for rescuing Xu Chang, then this glimmer of hope lies in the fact that the troops of Chen Guoliang and the two states can contain Liu Bei's troops.But now?is no longer possible.

Looking at the map, Cao Cao could only smile wryly in his heart.

Sure enough, it was this trick again, if you don't move, you will be done, and if you move, you will be struck by thunder.Dong Xiping, it looks like you have decided to end this game?

But even if you want to end, you have to ask me if I agree.

Cao Cao waved away the crowd, leaving Xun You alone.

"Gongda, I want to give up Xuchang!"

"Abandon Xuchang?"

"Since Liu Bei wants the hot potato, I will give it to him... I still have Qingzhou and Yanzhou. As long as we repel the land of Qingzhou, we still have the capital to fight against Dong Xiping. Therefore, I decided to give up Xuchang ...You immediately send someone to Xuzhou and tell Liu Bei...that the emperor gave it to him, and ask him to join hands with me and fight Dong Pi to the death. Otherwise, everyone will have a hard time."

Cao Cao is planning to abandon his son!

Xun You also understands that it is not easy to make such a decision.

Although it is said that the emperor of the Han Dynasty is in Chang'an, as long as Liu Xie is in his hands, he will always be a banner.Now, if this flag is to be discarded, Cao Cao's position will also drop from the previous position to the second.In other words, Cao Cao will obey Liu Bei's restraint in name.

But I have to say that Cao Cao's decision is currently the most appropriate way.

As long as there are soldiers and horses in hand, as long as Qingzhou and Yanzhou are safe, sooner or later they will be able to make a comeback.The so-called emperor is just a cover.

Xun You immediately nodded in agreement.

"Prime Minister, don't worry, I'll handle this right away... But Yuan Shao's side..."

"Yuan Benchu ​​should be damned. If he hadn't blindly confronted me, how could he have come to where he is now. Let him struggle there, at least it can delay us for some time. Remember, we must kill Xu Chang's opponent before Dong Bi can deal with Yuan Shao. Let's settle things."

"Here!"

Xun You left in a hurry, but Cao Cao couldn't calm down for a long time.

In the blink of an eye, he lost Lu Su and Xu Chu... Now, maybe even himself will be involved.I just hope that everything is still in time.If that Liu Xuande is a smart person, he should understand the situation that I and he will face now!
Cao Cao clenched his fists, closed his eyes and meditated.

Outside the hall, there was another commotion and noise.Cao Cao frowned, feeling a little impatient, "Cao Peng, who is making the noise?"

"Prime Minister, Yingchuan Battle Report!"

"Yingchuan?"

Cao Cao was startled, and an ominous premonition suddenly rose, "Submit it immediately!"

In a short time, a small school was drenched in blood, and with Cao Peng's support, he stumbled into the hall of the government office.

"Father, something is wrong!"

Cao Cao took a closer look, and then he recognized the person who came, it turned out to be his eldest son, Cao Ang.

"Zixiu, what happened? Why are you in such a mess?"

"Uncle Xiahou, Uncle Xiahou..."

Cao Cao's blood poured down his head in a whimper.After several breaths, Cao Cao sternly asked, "Miao Cai, how is Miao Cai?"

Cao Ang stayed in Xuchang and obeyed Xia Houyuan's orders.

Therefore, the uncle Xiahou mentioned by Cao Ang could not be anyone else except Xiahouyuan.Cao Cao looked at Cao Ang in horror, he wanted to find out the truth of the matter, but he was afraid of hearing the news he didn't want to hear.I just felt short of breath.

Cao Ang knelt down on one knee, weeping bitterly, "Uncle Xiahou, was killed by Guan Yu!"

"Can you say that again?"

"Uncle Xiahou was killed by Guan Yu!"

When Cao Cao heard this, he couldn't help but yelled, "It hurts me too!"

He swayed on the chair for a while, and fell headfirst to the ground.His coma caused everyone in the hall to panic.

Cao Peng quickly called the doctor, and after a long period of treatment, Cao Cao finally woke up slowly.

In front of my eyes, scenes from when I was with Xia Houyuan back then kept reappearing.After a while, he burst into tears and said, "Miao Cai, why did you leave me at this moment?"

Xun You also rushed over upon hearing the news, pulled Cao Ang aside, and asked in a low voice, "My lord, General Xiahou, how could..."

"Ten days ago, Uncle Xiahou got Mr. Zijing's Tiger Talisman and led the troops back to Xuchang to rescue. Xinzheng was handed over to Yang Wei who went to hand over it. Unexpectedly, Yang Wei was Dong thief's man. Uncle Xiahou couldn't help it. After the siege was cleared, I wanted to return to Xinzheng, but I didn't want to... Uncle took us to raid the bandits outside Xuchang, and we didn't want to be attacked by Guan Yu, so we were beheaded on the spot!"

Guan Yu, it's Guan Yu again!
First Cai Yang, then Cao Ren, and now there is another Xia Houyuan.

Xun You knew in his heart that it was impossible for Cao Cao to reconcile with Liu Bei when things had come to this point.He pondered for a moment, and seeing that Cao Cao had stabilized, he stepped forward.

"Prime Minister!"

"Gongda has something to say, just say it!"

Xun You said: "Now that I'm so powerful, if I confront him head-on, I'm afraid we won't have much chance of winning. And now, it's very difficult for us to defeat this idiot. If we don't back down, I won't be able to free up our hands to deal with that Xuzhou man." Ear thief. I have a plan, maybe it can make the poor man panic."

Cao Cao was taken aback, "What is Gongda's plan, come quickly?"

Xun You whispered so-and-so, so-and-so in Cao Cao's ear, and Cao Cao's brows stretched and furrowed suddenly.

"Gongda, I'm upset right now, so I'll leave it up to you to handle this matter. I hope this time it will be successful, otherwise we will have no way out!"

Xun You said: "Don't worry, Prime Minister, I will not disgrace my mission."

Cao Cao smiled wryly, "I don't care about humiliation...I'm just worried, how long can Wen Ruo guard Xuchang without food and reinforcements outside? I killed Wen Ruo, I killed Wen Ruo !"

When Xun You heard this, he couldn't help showing a dazed attitude.

------

I'm late, this is the first update!
The second is probably in the second half of the night, so don't wait, staying up late is really a bad habit.

Rest early, it's not too late to watch tomorrow.
