When Xun Pei was thinking wildly, a servant suddenly came over from the side and whispered a few words in Xun Pei's ear, which made Xun Pei stunned.

……Σ(дlll)……

Cao Cao gently placed the battle report on the table with a gloomy look and clasped his hands. Only in this way could his hands not tremble. Although Cao Cao's face still looked calm, there was something strange in his eyes.

of loss.

Dong Zhao stood aside silently, with his head lowered, waiting for Cao Cao's instructions. He knew very well how depressed or angry Cao Cao would be at this moment...

Originally, Xia Houyuan's strange troops raided Wancheng, and there were also spies sent in advance to mix among the refugees. The attack on Wancheng was a plan with a high success rate without much defense in Wancheng. But once Wancheng was captured,

City, Cao Cao will undoubtedly gain greater freedom and be more at ease between advance and retreat.

Others may not know it clearly, but Dong Zhao understands in his heart that even though Cao Cao seems to have maintained the entire court as impregnable as a rock, there are actually many loopholes. These loopholes are not not clear to Cao Cao or Dong Zhao, but to them.

It's a problem that comes from the roots of the Han Dynasty. Neither Cao Cao nor Dong Zhao can do anything about it.

Just like a patient with advanced cancer who kills cancer cells through a large number of means, he will also kill a large number of healthy cells. If he does not attack the cancer cells, he will not be able to prevent the spread of the cancer cells. At the same time, even if he is ruthless, he will not be able to prevent the spread of cancer cells.

Treatment may not be able to save everyone...

What's more, there are still two knives gesticulating at Cao Cao's throat, chest and abdomen.

The last knife was naturally Taishi Ci's, but Taishi Ci's queue was backed by Hangu Pass, and all of them were cavalry. If Cao Cao's army pressed forward, Taishi Ci retreated into Hangu Pass, then when the Qin State

It happened again, and Cao Cao could only retreat without success.

So the one that is easier to deal with is naturally the knife in Jingzhou, but now...

The Wancheng that was supposed to be obtained, the sure-fire strategy, actually failed like this. The failure was in the hands of Huang Zhong, who was previously unknown and had no reputation at all!

Now Cao Cao is in a dilemma, and Xiahou Dun in Xiangyang has no good news. How should Cao Cao make a decision? How to prove to the nobles in Jizhou and Yuzhou that he is still strong, still correct, and still reliable?

As the war situation dragged on and reached a stalemate, some not-so-good rumors gradually began to spread in Xu County in the rear. They probably said that Cao Cao was determined to have his own way and relied on nepotism. He would rather use the incompetent members of the Cao family and the Xiahou family than to

Distribute authority to other promising people, so that in the confrontation with the Hussar General Fei Qian, he lost more and won less. Look at the generals under the Hussar, from south to north, from east to west, there are

Which one is named "Fei"? Although the policies of the Hussar are not very good, the way of appointing people is still worthy of reference...

Anyway, taking quotes out of context and drawing on the truth is the specialty of scholars, so it is normal for Qiao Qi to be a good guy sometimes, and a bad guy sometimes. Anyway, it is just a talk, and you don’t have to take responsibility. What’s more, don’t these clear comments make sense?

What made Cao Cao even more embarrassed was that some people in Xu County began to suggest that they could negotiate peace with Xiuqi. It was not necessary to conquer Jingzhou. If Xiuqi wanted to take Jingzhou, why not just give it to Xiuqi? Anyway, the land in Jingzhou would be over.

The crops in Jizhou and Yuzhou cannot be planted or harvested, so there is no harm to them at all.

If Xia Houyuan could successfully capture Wancheng, everything would be fine, but now...

If someone else had failed, that would be fine. However, the one who failed now was the Cao family and the Xiahou family, whom Cao Cao used as a barrier. This was undoubtedly another heavy slap in the face, extremely loud, not only hurtful, but also very insulting.

The most resounding response at the moment is naturally to defeat Xu Huang in front of him, and then capture Wancheng and even the entire Jingzhou in one fell swoop. This will further clarify the power of the Hussars General Fei Qian and Jiangdong Sun Quan, and demonstrate Cao Cao's own strength with his illustrious military exploits.

Proving one's correctness, but the problem is, it's difficult...

Dong Zhao stood aside and stood with his hands down.

Cao Cao glanced at Dong Zhao and then lowered his gaze. If Guo Jia were here, Cao Cao would discuss it with him, but now Cao Cao doesn't even have anyone he can discuss with.

Cao Cao pondered for a while, then loosened his hands and pressed them on the table. He took a breath and said, "Come here! Gather the generals!"
