Cao Cao pretended to commit suicide with a knife, but was persuaded by everyone.

So he cut off his own hair with the sword and said, "Then I will cut off my hair instead of my head."

After the common people found out, there was no one who did not praise, and some looked at the backs of the officers and soldiers, and knelt on the ground to thank them.

For this reason, Cao Cao has been proud for a long time.

But it is far from what Liu Ke did.

People have always been the object of oppression.

Cao Cao just managed not to disturb the people, and his good reputation followed.

Liu Ke not only gave the people a stable life, but also led them to become rich.

The gap is self-evident.

"We are not as good as the Marquis of Dongyang in the hearts of the people, and we are not as good as the Marquis of Dongyang in the army. How can we win this battle?" Cao Cao sighed.

"My lord, you must not be discouraged. My lord is our hope!" Xi Zhicai said.

"That's right, with the lord here, we will not fail!" Xiahou Dun buzzed.

"Okay, well said!" Cao Cao roared, with such civil servants and generals as his assistants, what is the Marquis of Dongyang worth?

However, Cao Cao automatically ignored one thing, that is, the civilian and military generals in Yangzhou seem to be more powerful.

If Cao Cao can still calm down, his ally Yuan Shao is not so calm.

Hundreds of thousands of people see off?

What a great handwriting.

Yuan Shao was really shocked.

In order to recruit soldiers, Yuan Shao's methods were a little rough, and the people of Jizhou and Youzhou complained.

However, this is also impossible.

If you don't work hard, the Yuan family will be gone.

What is the use of fame?

"Yangzhou's army is three times that of ours, why didn't there be any rebellion?" Yuan Shao asked suspiciously.

Tian Feng coughed and said: "My lord, I don't know, the soldiers in Yangzhou are all paid."

"Is Dongyang Hou crazy? A salary of [-] million people!" Yuan Shao's eyes widened.

Lord, do you think Yangzhou is as poor as Jizhou?

For the soldiers in Jizhou, it is already a luxury to have enough food and clothing.

But Yangzhou...

Wealth cannot be counted.

The Zhen family, which was a first-rate family in Jizhou, became a second-rate family in Yangzhou.

Doesn't that explain the problem?

"My lord, don't worry, anyway, Cao Mengde is carrying it in front." Guo Tu said very bachelorly.

Yuan Shao actually agreed with this point of view.

Tian Feng was very terrified, and said: "Master, now is not the time to hold back."

"How could my lord not know?" Guo Tu rolled his eyes.

"I have made up my mind this time, and I will never retreat easily," Yuan Shao said.

Back again?

Where else can I retreat!

Yuan Shao knew this truth very well, so he frantically grabbed the young men.

It's just that before Dongyang Hou made a move, he was already so shocked.

Once the army is dispatched, there will be more accidents, and the chances of winning may also decrease.

"Now is a difficult time, everyone should work together." Yuan Shao said.

Tian Feng, Guo Tu and others said yes.

Yuan Shao still knows a little about his subordinate Xiao Jiujiu, but it's all within the controllable range.

Chapter five hundred and twenty first head start

"We must fight back!" Cao Cao said.

Now that Marquis Dongyang has created a winning momentum, it must be broken.

Otherwise, wouldn't it appear that the Allies were weak and incompetent?

Yuan Shao can't count on it, and the only one capable of counterattack is Cao Cao.

"My lord, we have righteousness in our hands, so we can start here." Sima Lang said.
