"I asked myself that my plan was perfect, but I never thought that Deng Mu, a country man, could be so cunning!"

"The defeat of this battle cannot be blamed on me."

"But the enemy who attacked Xudu only had more than a thousand cavalry!"

"If Weiwei Cheng and General Yang hadn't abandoned the city easily because of their fear of the enemy, Xuchang City would still be in the hands of the king."

"The situation in the Central Plains would not be where it is now!"

Sima Yi stood up and apologized to Cao Cao frankly.

He also knew that this time the defeat was too tragic, even Xiahou Dun was lost, and it was impossible to be fooled by him again. He took the initiative to apologize, but at the same time remained calm and captured Xuchang Placing the responsibility on Cheng Yu and Yang Qiu, it allowed those two people to share Cao Cao's anger.

Sure enough,

Cao Cao immediately glared at the two men and shouted angrily:

"The Yan army only has a thousand cavalry, and they will scare you so much that you will flee and give up the king's capital!"

"Cheng Yu, Yang Qiu, what crime do you two deserve?"

Yang Qiu trembled in fright and didn't know how to defend himself.

Cheng Yu looked aggrieved and defended himself:

"The king wants to punish his ministers for losing Xuchang. I should take the blame myself."

"However, although I was also deceived by Deng Mu's plan at that time, I was determined to defend Xuchang and wait for help. I never thought of abandoning the city and fleeing."

"It was General Yang who insisted that the former general was dead. He firmly believed that it was Guan Yu who was the main force besieging the city, and abandoned the city and fled despite the dissuasion of his ministers."

"I didn't have military power and couldn't stop them, so I was forced to follow them and abandon the city."

"Please give me a clear warning!"

Cheng Yu put the blame on Yang Qiu with an indignant tone.

Of course, he was not blaming the blame. This explanation was actually true.

Cao Cao looked directly at Yang Qiu, with murderous intent in his eyes.

"King!"

""My lord, my lord, my lord..."

Yang Qiu knelt on the ground with a bang, feeling ashamed and panicked.

Cao Cao waved his hand and said sternly:

"Someone, drag Yang Qiu down and behead this man who is greedy for life and afraid of death!"

The tiger guards rushed forward and lifted Yang Qiu up.

Yang Qiu was shocked and begged for mercy and struggled, but to no avail.

"Cheng Zhongde, Cheng Zhongde, where have all your ingenuity gone?"

"Even if it's Deng Mu's trick, can't you see it? Why not stop Yuan Rang from attacking Kunyang?"

"How can such a trivial trick with just a thousand enemy cavalry be able to deceive you?"

After Cao Cao killed someone, most of his anger was gone, but he still scolded Cheng Yu with extremely disappointed eyes.

Cheng Yu's face was full of shame, and he lowered his head and could only let Cao Cao complain.

"Deng Mu is the god of cunning and scheming, and no one in the world can rival him."

"Now that the matter has come to this, it will not help the king to blame Cheng Zhongde."

"Your Majesty, Luoyang and Xuchang have been captured one after another. The south of the Yellow River cannot be defended."

"I thought that the king should give up the two prefectures of Yansi immediately, and immediately ordered all the troops to shrink to the Yanjin Baima line, and immediately cross the river and retreat to Hebei!"

Guo Jia was the first to regain his composure and advised Cao Cao very calmly. He abandoned Yansi and returned to Hebei.

These eight words were like a knife, stabbing into Cao Cao's heart.

Needless to say, Sizhou was his, Yanzhou was his The place where he made his fortune.

Just give it up to Liu Bei?

He, the majestic king of Wei, just lost his troops and retreated to Hebei in despair?

Where is his dignity...

Cao Cao clenched his fists and felt unwilling to do so.

"Apart from giving up Yansi and withdrawing to Hebei, is there really no good way to reverse the situation?"

Cao Cao still had luck in mind and asked the advisers eagerly.

Guo Jia shook his head helplessly.

Sima Yi did not dare to say a word and lowered his head silently.

Only Cheng Yu was left.

The corners of his lips moved slightly, as if there was something wrong. He wanted to say something, but he hesitated.

Unexpectedly, Cao Cao's eyes passed directly over him without even stopping.

Obviously, although Cao Cao didn't ask him about his crime, he was very disappointed in him. I didn't want to ask for his opinion anymore.

This cold treatment made Cheng Yu feel cold.

At the same time, it stimulated his self-esteem and made him secretly grit his teeth.

"Your Majesty, I have a plan that may turn things around!"

Cheng Yu took a step forward and shouted with enthusiasm.

Cao Cao glanced at Cheng Yu, but he was not very happy, and even a little disapproving. (To read Baoshuang novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

But there is no way, other counselors are There was no one to ask except Cheng Yu.

So

Cao Cao had no choice but to curl his lips and asked reluctantly:

"If you have any good ideas, please tell me."

Cheng Yu hurriedly called his guards, brought the map, and spread it in front of Cao Cao.

"Your Majesty, please see"

"Liu Bei's main force is still on the plains, and Guan Yu's army has just captured Luoyang."

"The Yan army that occupied Xuchang only had 6,000 cavalry."

"The king can order Xu Huang to block Guan Yu's eastward advance at Sishui Pass, and Cao Zixiao to contain Liu Bei at Boping."

"Your Majesty personally led my main force, quickly went south, and unexpectedly killed us back to Xuchang!"

"Then Deng Mu must have thought that we would abandon the south of the Yellow River and withdraw the entire division to Hebei."

"Then we will do the opposite and kill him by surprise"

"We have an army of 60,000 and are attacking Xuchang with all our strength. Deng Mu only has 6,000 cavalry. How can he withstand it?"

Cheng Yu pointed at the map and became more and more impassioned as he spoke.[]

Cao Cao's originally cold eyes gradually brightened, and he couldn't help but get up and go to the map.

"As long as we can defeat Xudu quickly and take Kunyang to the south, we can still cut off Guan Yu's retreat and encircle him in Luoyang."

"Then he sent his troops south and took Jingyu Prefecture directly."

"If you go east, you can attack Suiyang again, and your troops will be directed towards Xiapi, forcing Liu Bei to retreat and defend."

"In this way, the situation on the entire Central Plains battlefield will undergo earth-shaking changes, and the king will be able to regain the initiative on the battlefield!"

Cheng Yu kept talking and presented his blueprint.

The corners of Cao Cao's mouth trembled slightly, the clouds on his face swept away, and his eyes became more and more surprised.

"good!"

Cao Cao slapped the map with his palm.

"What a contrary approach, Zhongde, your plan is really a clever plan to turn things around!"

"Zhongde, Zhongde, at the critical moment, it has to be you!"

Cao Cao was smiling with joy and praise for Cheng Yu.

It was as if the disappointment he felt towards Cheng Yu just a moment ago had never happened before.

"Your Majesty, please think twice."

"If the person in charge of Xudu was Guan Yu, Cheng Zhongde's plan would be feasible."

"Your Majesty leads my army by surprise and returns to Xuchang. There is at least a 70% chance of victory."

"But the person in charge of Xudu is Deng Mu."

"I'm afraid that even if the king has ten times the army, he may not be able to capture Xuchang. If he falls into Deng Mu's trick again, the consequences will be disastrous!"

"Your Majesty, please be careful!"

Guo Jia stood up and poured cold water on Cao Cao's head.

Cao Cao was shocked, and the joy on his face disappeared instantly...
