This time, Cao Cao and Sun Quan joined forces to suppress Fei Qian's development momentum. It is not a very good opportunity to strictly count, but that's all. The combination of Sun Quan and Zhou Yu in Jiangdong was shaking and was about to collapse. If you wait any longer, there might be any other opportunities, but it may also cause civil strife in Jiangdong due to Zhou Yu's death, and Jiangdong will not be able to provide any support at all.

If you fall behind, you will be beaten. People in later generations may think that it was said by the great Chinese, but unfortunately, it was first said by the bearded man of the Big Xiong family. However, this sentence was deeply understood by many people in China at that time and understood the truth, so it was widely circulated. It is obvious that Cao Cao understands this truth a little now. Even if he failed to summarize such a sentence like a bearded man, it was a painful understanding.

This cavalry is so capable of running and jumping around.

A few years ago, Cao Cao thought that in the corners of the north, how many grains could he dig?

Then, Cao Cao covered his face and could barely say that there were mosquitoes.

In a few years, I feel that Shandong still has a great advantage, with more people, more money, more confidence, and able to attack, defend and consume.

Then he covered his butt with a slap, and even the seemingly pretending to be smiling was a little bit reluctant.

Cao Cao once thought that he had integrated Jizhou quickly enough, and he ran all the way with his rush and panting, but when he turned around, he found that Fei Qian was almost out of the way...

At the beginning, Cao Cao felt that he could catch Fei Qian with his hand. When he reached out, he found that he could no longer reach it. He had to use a sword and a gun to make the length. Then when Cao Cao took out the sword and a gun, he found that the sword and a gun were no longer useful. Fei Qian already had armor. When Cao Cao turned around and found the armor-breaking arrow, he saw that the other party had thrown out gunpowder bullets. When Cao Cao himself also had gunpowder, he heard that Fei Qian had made another secret killing weapon!

Cao Cao turned around and wanted to do it himself, but found that there were not even a few craftsmen left in his family, and he was transported to Guanzhong repeatedly. He didn't have much of his own metallurgical shop left, and he couldn't even make it!

If Fei Qian really had everything ready one day, he would not be able to stop Fei Qian's cavalry in the field, and he would not be able to stop the destruction of artillery catapults in the city. By that time...

Cao Cao sighed deeply, his brows becoming more and more profound.

So even if it is not a good opportunity now, you have to bite the bullet and do it.

But if this is a trap...

All Cao Cao's current layout depends on Fei Qian who really left Chang'an. If there is a problem at this point, the entire plan will be unstable and eventually collapse.

Cao Cao sent Xin Ping to the Northern Region, on the one hand to show his strategy, on the other hand, he was also testing, and based on the test reaction, he made the next move.

While Cao Cao was thinking, measuring, and carefully thinking about various aspects, a soldier rushed from outside and fell in front of Cao Cao, and then handed Cao Cao a letter of the latest urgent report coming from near Xuchang.

When Cao Cao saw it, he was a little angry, and even had a little imbalance in his expression management.

The urgent report stated that there have been a lot of rumors near Xuchang recently, saying that Cao Cao is old and no longer as brave as he was. Now Cao Cao is timid to avoid war, and he cannot advance or retreat. He has no success in building a military force and spends nothing to calculate his money, food and supplies. He also said that Cao Cao had actually made a secret alliance with Fei Qian, preparing to divide the Han Dynasty equally, with Heluo as the boundary, and divide the world and the world from then on...

Emperor Liu Xie is said to have heard these rumors, and publicly scolded such rumors during the dynasty meeting, saying that he believed in Prime Minister Cao very much...

But this is useless. In Xuchang, there are still a lot of people who should be discussed.

Xun may be investigating the spreaders of rumors around Xuchang, but there is no way to control them at the moment. After all, rumors are all about words, truth and falsehood, and it is difficult for ordinary people to distinguish clearly.

Cao Cao was so angry that his head hurt a little, but when he was about to get angry, he suddenly stopped again. After thinking about it carefully, he suddenly laughed loudly, and he seemed to be very happy...

Dong Zhao was a little embarrassed, but he still asked the sentence, "Master, why are you laughing?"

"I laughed at Fei Ziyuan..." Cao Cao said halfway, and suddenly his heart jumped, and he uh, swallowed the back half. His little eyes rolled a few times, and reached out to wave.
