Xuchang and Cao Cao's official residence were filled with joy and laughter. At this time, Cao Cao was gathering with his civil and military officials to have a celebration banquet! Congratulations on successfully taking Xuzhou and taking Xuzhou into his own pocket, which greatly improved his strength, especially to help Cao Cao temporarily resolve the tension in food and grass.

Speaking of which, Cao Cao personally led a large army to capture Xuzhou and killed Lu Bu, and obtained a large amount of food, weapons and money in Xuzhou. In particular, he did not suffer any major losses. He also took over more than 30,000 Bingzhou Iron Cavalry and more than 50,000 Danyang elite soldiers under Lu Bu, and his strength was greatly improved. In particular, the more than 30,000 Bingzhou Iron Cavalry was the elite army of Lu Bu for many years, and the iron cavalry trained by Lu Bu himself. His strength was extremely strong in the world.

Cao Cao took Xuzhou, and although Guangling was stolen by Lu Ning, the people of Xuzhou were also kidnapped by Xu Huang and Zhang Liao under Lu Ning. However, occupying Xuzhou, a large amount of food, weapons and a large amount of money was seized, which temporarily alleviated Cao Cao's constant food and grass. Although Xiahou Yuan, another army, lost five thousand soldiers and horses, lost two side generals, compared to Xuzhou's victory, that little loss was nothing. Moreover, Xiahou Yuan's troops were originally a feint attack, not to mobilize the main force, and defeat would not have much impact on Cao Cao.

The civil and military officials under Cao Cao drank and celebrated each other, and raised their glasses to congratulate Lao Cao, and the flattery sounded loudly. Lao Cao was also smiling and extremely happy. Only General Xiahou Yuan, who suffered a defeat and suffered a loss, was drinking alone, ignoring anyone around him.

Cao Cao had seen Xiahou Yuan's emotions for a long time, and he didn't care at first, just thinking that he wouldn't drink a little, but for a long time, Xiahou Yuan was still depressed. "Miaocai, you have to cheer up and don't always take the failure to heart. No one blames you. Today is our army's celebration banquet, and you should be happy with everyone."

Xiahou Yuan immediately stood up and replied, "My lord, this battle was defeated in no way. I feel very dissatisfied and depressed. I must avenge this battle, and I hope the lord will fulfill it?"

Cao Cao burst into laughter after hearing this. He looked at Xiahou Yuan, and saw that everyone stopped talking. He immediately said, "Miaocai, our army in Wancheng must be taken down. After the soldiers are rested, they will send troops to Wancheng. Then you will be the vanguard officer."

After hearing this, Xun You immediately advised him: "My lord, although Wancheng is small, Zhang Xiu also has tens of thousands of troops in his hands, especially the 50,000 Xiliang Iron Cavalry in his hands. He has very strong combat power and cannot be careless. Especially his adviser Jia Xu, who is a very powerful character, it is not easy to deal with him, so he still has to make plans for the long term."

Cheng Yu has never had any good feelings for Lu Ning, thinking that Lu Ning is a traitor. What he does is unacceptable, and he never takes court and law seriously. He also does not care about traditions, customs, etiquette, and things he does. He is a complete traitor.

Cheng Yu was always the first to make a big fuss about Lu Ning when he had the chance. He hated Lu Ning to the core. Although Lu Ning had never offended him, Cheng Yu still discriminated against Lu Ning from his bones. "Lord, when our army attacked Qingzhou, it was plotted against Lu Ning by the boy Lu Ning, and he asked him to seize our Sizhou. When our army attacked Xuzhou, this boy caused trouble for our army from behind. Not only did he stole Guangling City in Xuzhou, but he also abducted a large number of people in Xuzhou into his jurisdiction. He really didn't take our army seriously. Now, Gu said that Lu Ning transferred all the troops overseas to fight, and there were not many soldiers left behind, and his local jurisdiction was still there, so the force must be tight. Our army's food and grass were all alleviated and supplemented, so it was time to take this opportunity to collect debts from Lu Ning."

Cheng Yu's words undoubtedly threw a bombshell at Yandu. Is there any confidence in declaring war on Lu Ning at this time? Lu Ning's army was dispatched and left the territory of the Han Dynasty, but he also had enough troops in his hands! Although the area under Lu Ning's jurisdiction was wide and the army was very scattered when defending, once Lu Ning's army gathered, the situation would not be so.

After hearing this, Cao Cao smiled. He understood Cheng Yu's heart very much and knew that Cheng Yu had always hated what Lu Ning did. "Zhongde, do you have any good suggestions? Let everyone listen?"

Cheng Yu said: "Lord, Lu Ning transferred the army out of the country. It was said that it was far away from the territory of the Han Dynasty. This was a wise move. The princes in the world were fighting in chaos and did not think about how to pacify the world first. If there were no relatives to the surrounding princes, they would send large troops to conquer overseas. In addition, Lu Ning also dispatched several large armies to conquer outside, which was even more wise move. It was said that there were four armies sent to fight overseas. With Zhao Yun's army, Lu Ning's boy is now fully blooming.

In this way, his logistics support will definitely be problematic. The supply line is so long and so many large troops need it. Even if there are three heads and six arms, it will not be able to meet it. Once the army goes out is short of food and grass, it will be in chaos without fighting. At present, there are not many soldiers that Lu Ning can mobilize. As long as our army is well planned and acts quickly, it can take down Donglai in Qingzhou, Guangling in Xuzhou, and even Lujiang in Huainan. There are not many large troops that Lu Ning has deployed in these places. Donglai and Guangling have only tens of thousands of soldiers. The Lujiang is a little more, which is too different from the strength of our army."

Before Cao Cao could reply, Xun Yu immediately opposed: "Lord, no. Zhongde's words were a bit extreme. Let's not talk about whether our army could attack Donglai, Guangling, and Lujiang. If our army attacked Lu Ning, would Lu Ning remain indifferent? Our army was surrounded by sneak attacks from Lu Ning's army. Even if Lu Ning sent troops from Guandu and Liyang, what should we do? The strength of the soldiers of the Lu Ning army is more than one level higher than that of our soldiers. If Donglai is attacked, although there are only 10,000 soldiers and horses, how many soldiers and horses are our army preparing to dispatch? Guangling only has 5,000 soldiers and horses, how many soldiers and horses are our army preparing to dispatch?

If the Lu Ning army is not defeated in the field, how do our army want to attack when the Lu Ning army uses the city? Besides, Lu Ning still has tens of thousands of elite troops stationed in Jinyang City, and can support the front line at any time. Now under Lu Ning's jurisdiction, road traffic is very smooth and the road conditions are very good, which is not something we can imagine. Lu Ning has war horses in his hands, and his army will be fully mobility at that time, and our army will be in danger."

After hearing this, Xun You continued, "Lord, Wen Ruo is right. Our army has to endure humiliation for the time being. Now is not the time to rebel against Lu Ning. Although Lu Ning has dispatched many troops to fight, the information says that the troops and horses he sent out were all new soldiers he trained on Yi Island in the past two years, but the troops and horses he had basically not decreased. Although his territory under his jurisdiction is wide, the strength of the Lu Ning army is still higher than our army. We still need to accumulate more strength and improve our strength. Finally, we will find a way to fight the Lu Ning army to the decisive battle. We cannot be too hasty."
