Chapter 292
Chapter 292
Cheng Yu's words stirred up thousands of waves, and Cao Cao thought he had gained an advantage in trading horses with the Huns.

But in the final situation, Cao Cao had to break his teeth and swallow it himself.

Originally, Cao Cao only wanted to trade [-] war horses, but he didn't expect the Xiongnu lion to open his mouth.

Although after several rounds of bargaining, Cao Cao bought the horse.

But the number of war horses has changed from [-] to [-]!

This is not an annoying thing, all the [-] war horses are slave horses, and all the male horses have been castrated, so they have no reproductive ability at all.

After learning of this, Cao Cao was furious, but who would have thought that the more hateful thing was yet to come.

The daily consumption of [-] war horses is huge, so that Cao Cao, who is not very rich in food, has been frugal since then.

Even the supply of soldiers has been reduced by a part!

After this incident, Guo Jia and Xi Zhicai carefully analyzed it, and found that the matter of trading war horses with the Huns had been calculated by Meng Chen from the beginning to the end.

Especially in terms of food, it can be said that the conspirators around Meng Chen are absolutely vicious!
Therefore, this account was all calculated on Jia Xu's head.

But Cao Cao, Guo Jia and others knew that Pang Tongtong did it from the beginning to the end.

But Pang Tong's conspiracy disrupted Cao Cao's entire war preparation plan.

Although [-] war horses seem like a lot, they are nothing in front of Xiliang cavalry.

Five days later, another piece of news hit Cao Cao's wounded heart.

It turned out that the reason why Meng Chen rushed to Chenliu so quickly was because the ten thousand cavalry were equipped with one man and two horses.

Cao Cao couldn't even imagine such a luxurious configuration, but Meng Chen did exactly that.

This alone is enough to show how obvious the gap in strength between the two sides is.

"What's your opinion? Is it possible to just sit and wait for death!" Cao Cao said helplessly.

Being cheated by Meng Chen, Cao Cao admits to failure, but never admits defeat. Although it is not the time to send troops, the words just now have already marked Cao Cao's intentions.

"My lord, the last general is willing to lead the army to recover Chen Liu!" It was Cao Hong who spoke, and he was also one of Cao Cao's most trusted people.

"The final general is willing to go together!"

The second person to stand up to speak was Xu Chu. There were more and more rumors about Tai Shici these days, and Xu Chu, a martial idiot, couldn't wait.

Seeing that the generals were eager to fight, Cao Cao felt relieved, so he turned to look at Guo Jia. Whether to fight or not depends on how Guo Jia analyzes the current situation.

Sensing Cao Cao's eyes, Guo Jia got up and came to the map, and began to analyze the current situation endlessly.

In about half a stick of incense, Guo Jia analyzed the pros and cons of the two parties thoroughly, but the atmosphere in the hall was extremely depressing.

According to Guo Jia, now is not the time to fight back!

"Right now, although it is not the time to fight back, we must send troops." After Guo Jia finished speaking, all the generals showed a hint of excitement in their eyes.

"However, Li Cunxiao led [-] troops to station in Changsha, eyeing Xu Du. The scale of sending troops this time should not exceed [-]."

After saying this, Guo Jia returned to his position, he said everything that should be said, and the rest is up to Cao Cao's decision!

"My lord, let's send troops!"

"Let's send troops!"

After Guo Jia's voice fell, the generals headed by Cao Hong were excited. Even with only [-] soldiers, they could not have made mistakes against Chen Liu's [-] Xiliang army.

Cao Cao bowed his head and pondered for a while, he knew Guo Jia's intention in doing so.

So he said: "Cao Hong and Xu Chu listened to the order, Cao Hong was the chief general, Xu Chu was the deputy general, and you two commanded thirty thousand troops to attack Chen Liu."

"Here!"

After hearing the words, Cao Hong and Xu Chu got up and promised, especially Xu Chu had a bright smile on his face.

"Also, send an order to the counties and counties to organize soldiers and horses to launch a counterattack. If there is a chance, they will take back the lost city. If there is no chance, they must cut off the Xiliang army's food road."

Following Cao Cao's two general orders, Cao Hong and Xu Chu quickly reorganized their troops and horses, prepared food and grass, and headed towards Chenliu.

As for other counties, Cao Cao's general orders made it very clear that what he wants is not victory, but an attitude of not admitting defeat!

The generals dispersed, and Cao Cao arrived at the study with a group of advisers.

It was difficult to say a lot of things just now, if the military general sinks like this, then this battle will be completely lost.

"What is Feng Xiao worried about?" Cao Cao asked as soon as everyone sat down.

"To tell the truth, my lord, Jia is worried about Meng Chen's backhand!" Guo Jia was blunt, and directly expressed the biggest doubt in his heart.

"Could it be that Mengchen has more than 60 troops?" Cao Cao continued to ask.

"No! Liu Bei and Sun Quan have been reluctant to send troops for a long time. This is what worries Jia."

"It's better to ask for others than to ask for yourself! Fuck, I don't believe in any alliance for a long time!" Cao Cao laughed at himself, and then asked: "Is it possible to win if we go to Chenliu?"

Guo Jia, who heard the words, shook his head first, and then sighed: "There is no chance of winning. If General Cao Hong commanded properly, the [-] army would suffer little loss. If the command was improper, it would be normal for the entire army to be wiped out."

"It's a pity that X's [-] elite!" Hearing this, Cao Cao raised his head and sighed.

But Cao Cao had to send troops in this battle, just like how the later generations of the United States sent planes to bomb the little devil's Kyoto after it was attacked by surprise.

"What do you think about the decisive battle?" Cao Cao asked again.

After hearing the words, Guo Jia, Xi Zhicai, Xun Yu, and Cheng Yu looked at each other, and they had already come to a conclusion about the decisive battle.

"My lord, Jia believes that Xudu is a place that must be guarded. If things cannot be accomplished, they can cross the Yangtze River south!"

"Do you seek refuge with Sun Quan?" Cao Cao's words revealed that he would not be cut, and he was unwilling to seek refuge with Sun Quan even if he died in battle.

"My lord is different. Since there are three alliances, allies should make their own contributions." Cheng Yu explained.

"I believe that whether it is Liu Bei or Sun Quan, this time, Meng Chen must be plotting against him. Once he wakes up in the future, it will be the time for the real decisive battle between the lord and Meng Chen." Xi Zhicai opened his mouth. After saying this, Cao Cao fell into a trap mused.

Guo Jia said that Xu must be guarded because this is Cao Cao's base camp, and Xi Zhicai said that the real alliance of the three is the final decisive moment.

For a while, Cao Cao was a little entangled. Although he had already sent someone to send his family members away, the words of several counselors all showed that they might not stay for a long time.

"My lord, when Liu Bei enters Shu, Jingzhou is empty! Besides, Mengchen must have a backup, Liu Bei will never take Yizhou." Xun Yu spoke again.

After receiving the news of the emperor's assassination, Xun Yu suddenly became active again.

"What Wen Ruo means is that he deliberately let Mengchen's army go south and took advantage of the situation to seize Jingzhou, so as to coerce Sun Quan and Liu Bei to join forces?"

"There are many rivers in the south of the Yangtze River, which are not conducive to the maneuvering of cavalry. Besides, the northerners are not familiar with water, so only in this way can we have the strength to fight!"
