Can I get to the other side?

Changsha, the governor's mansion.

After being hit by the news of the fall of Xiangyang City, Cao Cao fell ill and has been recuperating in the mansion, but his condition has not improved.

Although Cao Cao's headache is an old problem, perhaps because of the pressure, this headache is more serious than before.

So much so that he can only lie in bed since the onset of the disease, and he will feel a headache whenever he gets up and walks.

"My lord, it's time to take the medicine."

Xu Chu came to Cao Cao's bed with a bowl of medicine and said to him.

On the bed, Cao Cao looked haggard. Hearing this, he glanced at the medicine in the bowl and shook his head and said, "I have been drinking the medicine for so long, but it has no effect at all. What's the point of drinking it?"

"Take it away, take it away!"

The pain in his head made him feel upset, and this medicine was so bitter that he felt nauseous when he smelled it.

If it worked, it would be fine, but the key is that it didn't work after drinking it for so long, and it still hurt. What's the point of taking the medicine?

Xu Chu had to put the medicine bowl aside.

Cao Cao asked again: "I heard that there is a miracle doctor named Zhang Zhongjing in Changsha? Why don't you find him to treat me?"

Xu Chu scratched his head and said: "My lord, I have sent people to find this person a long time ago, but Zhang Zhongjing has retired to the mountains and forests. I heard that he is now in Zhongnan Mountain."

Zhongnan Mountain is in the Guanzhong area and is still under the control of the court. Naturally, there is no way to find him, and the distance is too far.

Hearing Xu Chu's words, Cao Cao sighed and had to give up this idea. Then he asked: "What is the situation in Jiangxia?"

It can be said that there has been a series of bad news in recent days.

First, Xiangyang was broken, and then Nanyang was lost. Cao Ren's troops retreated step by step and had to retreat to Jiangxia City.

Cao Hong and Cao Xiu, who were far away in Yizhou, also suffered a great defeat. Not only did tens of thousands of troops lose their lives, but the two commanders were also killed.

The situation is getting worse and worse.

Xu Chu answered truthfully: "General Cao and his men are still trapped in Jiangxia City. Our connection with Jiangxia and the food supply route have been cut off by the enemy, and the army in the city is isolated and helpless."

"It has been almost half a month until today."

Jiangxia is located at the fork of the Han River and the Yangtze River. It is a hub. The Han army's navy cut off the logistics from the Yangtze River, turning Jiangxia into an isolated city.

The 10,000 soldiers and horses inside have also become trapped beasts in a cage.

Cao Cao felt even more depressed after hearing this. Although Jiangxia City is a big city with a lot of food and grass reserves, it can't last long like this.

The food and grass in the city will be exhausted in two months at most.

If you want to rescue Jiangxia City, you must fight the court's navy head-on, and then you will lose the advantage of defending.

The court besieged Jiangxia City but did not attack it, probably waiting for him to send troops to help, so that he could wait for the opportunity.

But if he didn't rescue it, he would not only lose Cao Ren and the 10,000 troops in the city, but also the strategic location of Jiangxia City would be lost.

If the Han army takes Jiangxia, Jiangdong will be in danger, and the natural barrier of the Yangtze River will become a decoration.

This problem has troubled him for several days. Almost every day he tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep, thinking about how to break the situation.

Thinking about it, Cao Cao felt a worse headache, and quickly lay down, and put the wet towel on his forehead, and then he felt better.

After a while, he wiped the cold sweat on his face and said to Xu Chu: "Go, call Cheng Yu, Xun You and Xun Yu."

"Yes, my lord."

Xu Chu took the order and turned to leave.

However, before he stepped out of the bedroom, he saw Xun Yu running over with an excited face and bumped into him directly.

Xu Chu was tall and strong, and he was fine standing there, but Xun You was shocked and took a few steps back and sat on the ground.

"Military Advisor, are you okay?"

Xu Chu was startled and hurried forward to help Xun You up. If he hurt Xun You, the lord would have to let him be beaten with a military stick.

"It's okay, it's okay!"

Xun You patted his butt and stood up, then strode into the bedroom and said to Cao Cao with a happy face: "Sikong! Good news, good news!"

Cao Cao was upset because of a headache at this time. He didn't even open his eyes when he heard this, and said weakly: "What good news?"

In his opinion, unless the emperor suddenly died suddenly, or the court's army was defeated by Cao Ren's desperate counterattack, the rest was not good news.

"Sikong, our spies spread outside sent back news that Ma Chao and the Qiang people sent more than 100,000 troops to attack Guanzhong, and now they have arrived at Chang'an!"

"Just yesterday, the pseudo-emperor's army that besieged Jiangxia split up and evacuated!"

The correct version is reading! 6=9+Shu_Bar first published this novel.

Xun You said excitedly.

He was stunned when he heard the news. He confirmed it several times before he dared to report it to Cao Cao.

After hearing this, Cao Cao opened his eyes, which were originally closed, and sat up from the couch, staring at Xun You with a sharp gaze.

"What did you just say? Ma Chao attacked Chang'an?!"

Cao Cao's face was full of disbelief.

Ma Chao was a stray dog. Where did he get the troops to attack Guanzhong, and even approached Chang'an?

Is he still dreaming?

Xun You nodded heavily and said, "Sikong, this news is true. The pseudo-emperor's army that besieged Jiangxia has retreated by nearly half!"

"According to the scouts' observation, the pseudo-emperor's flag also withdrew with the army. It is obvious that they have divided their troops to support Chang'an!"

Whether Ma Chao really attacked Chang'an can be judged from the enemy's movements. In addition to Chang'an being in danger, what else can make the enemy withdraw?

After confirming from Xun You that the news was indeed true, Cao Cao's haze in his heart was instantly swept away, and he was overjoyed!

"Good! Good! Good! Good!"

"God really helps me!"

Cao Cao laughed loudly, his laughter was full of unspeakable joy, and he immediately said to Xun You: "Pass on my military order! Gather the three armies, and advance towards Chibi by land and sea!"

"This time we must lift the siege of Jiangxia!"

He never expected that Ma Chao could give him such a big surprise and attract a large number of Han troops back.

And this is the best time for him to recapture Jiangxia and reverse the situation!

"Yes, Sikong!"

Xun You nodded heavily, then he looked Cao Cao up and down, and asked in surprise: "Sikong, your head... doesn't hurt anymore?"

Cao Cao was lying on the bed with a dying look on his face before, but now he is full of energy, a completely different person from before.

"Huh?"

Cao Cao was stunned for a moment, then he noticed that he was standing well, and the pain in his head disappeared.

After realizing this, he became even happier, waved his hand, and laughed: "God really favors me!"

"In this case, this time I will personally lead the troops to help Jiangxia!"

At the most desperate moment, Ma Chao suddenly appeared to help him open up the situation, and his headache also disappeared. What else could this not be a favor from heaven?

This time he will surely turn defeat into victory!
