Three Kingdoms Bandits

Chapter 666 Why?
"Then what is Zixuan doing?" Cao Cao asked.

Now that things have happened, the idea is not as simple as it was at the beginning.In fact, Cao Cao clearly remembered that he wanted to do his part for the big man back then!

At this moment, Wu Shun asked again, but he didn't know how to answer for a while.

If he, Cao Cao, defeated all the princes and finally brought this chaotic man back into unity, he wouldn't be the Duke of Zhou either!

Experiences change, mindsets and goals change too.

On Wu Shun's side, when he heard Cao Cao's rhetorical question, he didn't even think about it, and said directly: "In the past, my idea was very simple, that is, to survive in troubled times. Later, with more and more people around me, I just wanted to protect Good them, let them not be oppressed, and live a better life. Now, I want the world to be unified again, and people can live and work in peace and contentment!"

Why did Wu Shun send troops to the Northern Expedition?
Probably those thoughts in his heart!

"Zixuan's bold words, I admire Cao Cao!" Cao Cao said.

After listening to Wu Shun's words, he was also shocked.He didn't understand what pushed Wu Shun forward.But Cao Cao, is he the one who would easily admit defeat?

He Cao Cao, obviously not!

"Although I admire you, if you want to achieve your wish, you have to pass my test! If you can't even win against me, Cao Cao, you will not have the strength to fulfill your ambition!" Cao Cao said again.

"Meng De, if we continue to fight, it will intensify the internal friction among the Han people. We need to know that foreign races are eyeing us on the land of the Central Plains!" Wu Shun said.

He knew that Cao Cao couldn't tolerate foreigners.

"Foreign race? It's not a threat now, as long as the Wuling army sends a partial division, the foreign race will stay away! Even if my Cao army goes north, we can slaughter the foreign race!"

Today's aliens are also in civil strife.Coupled with the trust in himself and Wu Shun, Cao Cao has not yet regarded external factors as threats!

"Foreigners, don't underestimate them! Since Meng De wants to fight, he will continue to fight. I only hope that Cao Jun can treat the Han people within his sphere of influence well."

After Wu Shun finished speaking, he bowed his hands to Cao Cao.

It seems that Cao Cao would persecute the people if he didn't say it.

Although Cao Jun's generals were upset, they didn't dare to talk nonsense when Cao Cao was in front of him, so they could only gouged Wu Shun fiercely with their eyes.

"Haha, Zixuan's actions are quite virtuous!" Cao Cao laughed.

Liu Bei had such a compassionate look in front of him. Cao Cao had seen it a lot, and his resistance was already super strong.

"Liu Bei? He is also a hero, but after defeating Meng De, he will also be defeated by the Wuling Army!"

Wu Shun knew that Cao Cao was using Liu Bei to say he was hypocritical.Use some empty words to deceive the support of the people and the soldiers.

For this, Wu Shun didn't bother to explain, who could understand what he was going to do?

"Zixuan, let's fight!" Cao Cao said.

"War? Let's do this today, and fight again in the future!" Wu Shun replied.

After all, Wu led the troops to retreat by the way!

The formation of the Wuling army was uniform and retreated slowly. Cao Cao didn't see the opportunity to take the initiative to attack, so he didn't order an attack.

Cao Jun's generals waited left and right, but in the end they couldn't wait for Cao Cao's attack order.

……

Cao Ying, in the handsome tent.

"My lord, the Wuling army is not yet ready for a decisive battle, but we must guard against it!" Guo Jia said.

Wu Shun's use of troops did not follow common sense. Guo Jia could only guess that the Wuling Army hadn't made enough preparations. As for the others, he couldn't figure it out from the surface.

"Wu Shun's words today are very touching. I think back then, before the Yellow Turban rebellion, I only wanted to be a good official and do my part for the big man. After the Yellow Turban was put down, my thinking changed..."

Cao Cao told Guo Jia a lot by himself, he is now a confidant, and Guo Jia is indeed a qualified listener.

He quietly listened to Cao Cao's confession below, and also knew the changes in Cao Cao's mentality over the years.

"My lord, Gongda has been sent to various places. I believe there will be results soon. Yuan Shao's situation is unknown, but the strength of Xuzhou and Jingzhou is still there. The Wuling army is not an invincible army."

Guo Jiadao, what he wants to convey is that it is still unknown who will win the battle, and Cao Cao still needs to continue according to his own ideas.

"Yuan Benchu, oh..." Cao Cao sighed, feeling powerless at this moment.

Yuan Shao was destroyed by him himself, and now he has to rely on Yuan Shao's strength to resist Yizhou's attack, how ironic?

As soon as he defeated Yuan Shao on the front foot, Wu Shun attacked him on the back foot, which can be called a seamless connection!

After resisting for so long with a tired teacher, Cao Cao is actually worthy of pride.The Wuling Army is no better than the Yuan Army. Once given the chance, the Wuling Army can attack cities and loot land, much stronger than the Yuan Army...

"The Wuling army is marching in three directions, and the troops are scattered. The Jingzhou battlefield can hold a large number of troops. Here, if you hold on to the battlefield for more than a month, you can counterattack!"

Guo Jia analyzed.

"Counterattack is easier said than done."

Hearing the word "counterattack", Cao Cao's eyes brightened, but immediately dimmed.

"My lord, don't underestimate yourself. With Wu Shun's character, he will definitely take action when he is sure. Now that he is confronting our army, it shows that his strength is not enough to defeat our army." Guo Jia said.

"The logistics supply of the Wuling Army has never been cut off, but our army is almost running out of food."

Cao Cao said helplessly.

Lack of food is the deadliest thing in war. Even if you have countless elites, how can you fight a war without food?
"I'm afraid Wu Shun just wants to consume our army..." Cao Cao said again.

In fact, he guessed right. After several discussions and analyzes on the Wuling Army side, and the information provided by the black guards, Xu Shu believed that Cao Jun had fallen into a difficult situation with no food to eat.

At this time, as long as the Wuling army guards the Changsha-Zhongmou line, Cao Jun will have nothing to eat, and his combat power will naturally become weaker and weaker.

When Cao Cao couldn't hold on, the Wuling army could defeat Cao's army as long as they paid a very small price.

"Wu Shun must have ulterior motives to spend with our army here. His subordinates thought that he would send part of his troops to participate in the battle in Jingzhou to further expand the threat to Xu Capital." Guo Jia said.

The Wuling army obviously has the strength to attack, but they didn't attack. This was unreasonable in the past, but now that Dongfang Qiang and Gan Ning have opened up the situation in Jingzhou, the purpose of Wu Shun's move is obvious.

Supporting the Jingzhou battlefield, Wu Shun also thinks so, but there are no specific measures yet.

The elites of the Wuling Army are all in important positions on the front line, so it would be a little unwise to dispatch them again!
It's too far to run from Changsha to support Xiangyang's battle!Furthermore, Cao Jun would not let Wu Shun do this easily.

"Command!" suddenly shouted.

"Prime Minister!"

"Let Cao Hong send tiger and leopard cavalry to harass Changshe City from time to time, and don't let the Wuling army here go to the Jingzhou battlefield!" Cao Cao said.

"Yes." A soldier got the order and hurried out to deliver the order to Cao Hong.
