The Three Kingdoms started from fooling Jia Xu

Chapter 215 Princess Hongnong, Tang Ji! (seeking subscription)

"My lord, my lord!"

Everyone was anxious, but Cao Cao had passed out.

Xun You let out a heavy breath. He realized the seriousness of the matter, and said in a deep voice, "Don't reveal anything about today's matter. Anyone who violates it will be punished by the barbarians!"

"No!" Everyone looked at each other with the same dignity.

Although it is not a matter of life and death, the loss of Guanzhong, the loss of troops and the loss of generals, and the establishment of Liu Bei as an enemy will definitely hurt Cao Cao's vitality.

"Okay, let's all go down to prepare the army first. When the lord wakes up, I will send someone to summon everyone, and then I will go to decide whether to stay or not." Xun You said in a deep voice.

In the Cao Jun camp, his words are still somewhat useful.

"No!" All the generals looked worried, and immediately retreated.

The next situation is not optimistic, Guanzhong lost, which means that the beautiful girl Chi-Guoguo of Xuchang was exposed in front of the two strong men.

The ending is self-evident, as long as the two strong men want to, they can beat this beautiful girl at any time. The situation has already been completely defeated, and it depends on how to arrange it next.

At night, it's three o'clock.

Cao Cao's sleeping tent was full of generals.

However, the atmosphere in the sleeping tent was dignified. Seeing Cao Cao's slightly pale face, everyone chose to remain silent.

Cao Cao looked weak, and said in a deep voice, "Gongda, now that Liu Bei is occupying Guanzhong, he is already looking down. What do you think of our army?"

Xun You had been contemplating for a whole day, and immediately cupped his fists and said, "Master, You think that there are only two ways for our army to go. The rest are dead ends."

"Come on!" Cao Cao said weakly.

"One, take back Guanzhong."

"Liu Bei conquered Guanzhong under the emperor's order, but violated the emperor's order. The world should despise it. My lord can announce it to the world, let the world know, and abolish his official rank."

"Immediately, my lord should take advantage of Liu Bei's unstable foothold and lead the army to attack Guanzhong. As long as we can take it back, our army will still have a chance. Otherwise, it will be difficult."

Xun You said in a deep voice with a dignified expression.

Cao Cao's face was pale, but he agreed after a little thought, and looked at Xun You to indicate that there was more.

"Secondly, if Guanzhong is not captured, then Xuchang City will be useless. You should abandon Xuchang and prepare to move the people of Yanzhou and Henan to Xuzhou to watch the changes in the world."

"However, if the lord moves his capital to Xuzhou, his strength will be damaged, and the emperor will become a hot pancake and have no effect."

"In this way, the lord should bow his head to Yuan Shao. To show his sincerity, he can transfer the emperor, Yanzhou and Yuzhou to Yuan Shao. The lord withdraws and returns to Xuzhou, and sits and watches the competition between Yuan Shao and Liu Bei Zhangxiu."

"Thinking about it, based on the relationship between Yuan Shao and the lord, he will definitely not kill them all. What's more, Yuan Shao is a generous person. With the lord's attitude, he will definitely not embarrass the lord."

"In this way, my lord can rely on the people of the three prefectures to prepare troops, recuperate, and wait for an opportunity to conquer the world." Xun You said slowly.

He thought about it all day.

He knew that if he couldn't win Guanzhong and Nanyang, he couldn't defend Xuchang alone, let alone face Yuan Shao in Hebei, he could only use his strength to recuperate.

After Xun You finished speaking, Cao Cao slowly closed his eyes with a haggard look on his face. He knew there was no way out.

Because the Central Plains is the place where the Four Wars were fought, Jizhou is connected to the north, and Jing and Yang are connected to the south.Xiguanzhong, its strength has been damaged, how can it defend this huge territory?
After a long time, he opened his eyes again, looked at the crowd and said slowly: "Decree, the three armies will return to the court tomorrow, and Xun Yu will be notified to prepare to attack Guanzhong."

"No!" All the generals responded in unison.

Cao Ren frowned slightly and said, "My lord, I have ordered the three armies to prepare for the day. Since the squadron is in charge, why wait until tomorrow's day? Why don't we retreat tonight? Otherwise, the bandits will be seen in the morning, and I'm worried that they will follow and kill them!"

Cao Cao waved his hands and said solemnly: "No need, true and false and sometimes false are true. Tomorrow we will withdraw the troops with great fanfare. All we need to do is send sentry cavalry to drag the army around."

"In addition, rumors spread that I suffered from a serious illness and passed away unfortunately. The three armies will keep the funeral secret, fearing that the army's morale will be disturbed."

Hearing Cao Cao finished speaking, Xun You nodded and said softly, "My lord, this method is far better than withdrawing troops at night. With Jia Xu's scheming personality, he will definitely think it is a trap and dare not pursue it."

"But my lord, Zhang Xiu found out afterward that he would definitely know about my lord's intention to capture Guanzhong. In this way, he only needs to use tens of thousands of elite soldiers, and Xuchang will be lost." Cao Ren said with a serious expression.

"Zixiao doesn't need to worry, because Zhang Xiu won't attack Xuchang." Xun You said almost firmly.

"Xuchang is located in the place of the Fourth World War. Attacking Xuchang will only put him in a dangerous position, unless he can conquer the three states of the Central Plains in one go."

"What's more, Liu Bei is also Zhang Xiu's enemy, and I am happy to see my lord fight with Liu Bei. If my prediction is correct, he will definitely take the opportunity to attack Yangzhou and take all the south of the Yangtze River, so as to view the world as a tiger."

Speaking of this, Xun You added another sentence: "Of course, Zhang Xiu is a fierce tiger, so we must guard against it. After the three armies retreat, the lord can send someone to promise Yili, and confer the title of marquis to appease him."

Cao Cao frowned slightly. Zhang Xiu probably wasn't interested in giving him a title as a Marquis, but he represented the Han Court. If Zhang Xiu didn't want to take advantage of the chaos to commit crimes, he had to admit to the Han Court.

Thinking of this, Cao Cao pondered, and then said: "I heard that Princess Hongnong is still in the Palace of Heaven, is it?"

"My lord, you mean Tang Ji?" Xun You pondered for a while, and then said, "Tang Jisheng is more beautiful than Princess Liu Bian. My lord, do you want her to be an envoy on behalf of the big man?"

"That's right, in this way, after the three armies return to Xu, let this woman carry gold, silver, jade and silk, supplemented by Hou Yin general's amulet, etc., and go to Jingzhou with great fanfare on behalf of the Han Dynasty to meet Zhang Xiu."

"If Zhang Xiu agrees, then he will attack Xuchang for no reason. If he does not, then he can be called a traitor. With Zhang Xiu's heart, he will definitely not do such things that harm others and benefit himself."

Cao Cao nodded, looking a little tired.

It was too difficult for him, and he tried his best to prevent Zhang Xiu from coming to beat him, but the current situation really did not allow him to be careless.

Because in the event of a collapse, the generals of Taishan under his command may rebel, Xuzhou is also faintly uneasy, and there are also many remnants of the Yellow Turbans everywhere, which is difficult.

"It's doable," Xun You nodded. Ordinary people might not be able to bring gifts as an envoy, but the royal family went to Jingzhou with great fanfare, and Zhang Xiu had no reason to refuse.

What's more, he is mainly attacking Yangzhou at the moment.

"Okay, Gongda, you should send a letter to Xun Yu to inform him of the current situation. In addition, let him arrange for Tang Ji to prepare first."

Cao Cao's voice was calm, and he spoke lightly.

"Promise!" Xun You nodded in response.

"Cao Ren, I should not show up these days. You are in charge of the three armies. If you ask Xun You about something you don't know, be sure to bring the three armies back to Xuchang."

Cao Cao looked at Cao Rendao with burning eyes.

"Don't worry, my lord, benevolence will fulfill its mission." Cao Ren said with a solemn expression.

"Okay, let's all back down!"

Cao Cao looked lonely and spoke in a haggard voice.
