After listening to Cao Cao's words, Xun You looked at Cao Cao with dull eyes, without much expression on his face. Although Xun You looked a little sluggish on the surface, Xun You was very shrewd. He had already seen Cao Cao's meaning and wanted to Standing up for himself, then wanting to convince the public, and now wanting to let him down a ladder, is just a treacherous idea!

"I believe that beheading generals is not good for morale when you are out in the army. It is better to save General Xiahou Dun's life and let General Xiahou Dun take the crime and make meritorious service!" Xun You's face did not change much, but he said calmly to Cao Cao.

After hearing Xun You's words, Cao Cao showed a smug look in his eyes, then stroked his beard, and said to Xiahou Dun with a serious face: "Yuan Rang, for the sake of the generals and Mr. Gongda, the truth is temporarily spared." If you die, you will be punished for death, and you will not be spared for living, someone will take Xiahou Dun down and beat you hard!"

"Yes!" The two soldiers heard Cao Cao's words, looked at Xiahou Dun's appearance, and then took Xiahou Dun down silently. After a while, Xiahou Dun's painful cry came from outside.

Hearing Xiahoudun's yell, Cao Cao couldn't help but feel a little upset. This bastard, I grew up wearing a pair of trousers with him, so don't think that you don't know that he has already prepared things in his trousers.

Not long after, Xiahou Dun walked in with the help of soldiers, looking extremely painful, but Xiahou Dun's complexion was very rosy, and it seemed that nothing happened.

Cao Cao looked at Xiahoudun like this, and smiled helplessly. This Xiahoudun pretended nothing like him!

"Liu Bei defeated our army from Xinye City. This Xinye City will definitely not be able to defend. Liu Bei may reach Fancheng in the next step. What should our army do next?" Cao Cao silently looked at the map hanging on his wall, his face slightly pale After hesitating, he asked the surrounding civil and military officials with a heavy tone.

"What else can I do, just call directly!" Xiahou Dun said to Cao Cao with a slightly excited face after hearing Cao Cao's words.

After Cao Cao heard Xiahoudun's words, his eyes widened immediately, and he stared at Xiahoudun firmly, you bastard boy, you don't know how to calm down after being beaten.

Seeing Cao Cao's murderous gaze, Xiahoudun swallowed his saliva, touched his butt, and said in a displeased tone, "Butt hurts! Oops! Butt hurts!"

Standing behind Xiahoudun, Cao Ren looked at the bulge behind Xiahoudun's buttocks and knew something, so he could only suppress his smile silently, and then looked at Cao Cao, who was sitting on the main seat with a bad complexion.

"If we attack Fancheng, I'm afraid it will attract Liu Biao's hatred. When Liu Bei and Liu Biao join forces, I'm afraid it will cause headaches for the Prime Minister for a while!" Xun You looked at the map and said to Cao Cao with a serious expression.

Cao Cao listened to Xun You's words and nodded. Since ancient times, Xiangfan has been a family. After Fancheng was broken, then Xiangyang is below. Now that Liu Biao is sitting in Xiangyang, I am afraid that Cao Cao will not easily let Cao Cao take Fancheng. At that time, Liu Biao will definitely try his best to prevent Cao Cao from going south. !

"This is really a headache!" Cao Cao said to Wen Wu in a heavy tone while stroking his beard.

"Prime Minister, Prime Minister, there is an urgent report from the east!" At this moment, a soldier rushed into the big tent with a somewhat hasty expression, and said to Cao Cao, who was sitting in the main seat and thinking about a problem.

"Submit it!" Cao Cao looked at the soldier's eagerness and suddenly felt bad, so he looked straight at the soldier and said in a heavy tone.

After listening to Cao Cao's words, the soldier carefully presented the letter. Cao Cao took the letter and looked at the contents of the letter.

Xun You looked at Cao Cao's heavy face, then looked at Cao Cao's letter, and vaguely saw the word "defeated", and his face became serious immediately. It seems that Xiahouyuan in the east has been eaten by Soochow Big loss!

"Prime Minister, what's wrong with the east side?" Seeing that Cao Cao's complexion was not too good, Cao Ren asked Cao Cao cautiously, for fear of offending Cao Cao.

Cao Cao snorted coldly, with a bit of cold air coming out of his nostrils, and said to the surrounding civil and military personnel in a heavy tone: "Xia Houyuan led an army to attack Hefei City, and fell into Tai Shici's plan. The [-] troops were cut in half, and now they are retreating to Shouchun City. And the Soochow army is increasing its troops to attack Shouchun!"

After hearing Cao Cao's words, the civil and military officers below were too frightened to speak when they saw Cao Cao's extremely ugly face, and could only lower their heads silently.

"The truth is that I wanted to dominate the world with one fell swoop, but it turned out that the two sides were at a disadvantage. Now the morale of the army is weak, and Shouchun is besieged! I am so angry!" Cao Cao was holding his hair a little impatiently, and yelled at his subordinate Wenwu with a gloomy expression. .

Chapter 6 and Five: Fancheng

Xun You, who was at the side, silently looked at Cao Cao's gloomy expression, hesitated for a moment, and said to Cao Cao cautiously, "Prime Minister, why don't you return to Xuchang temporarily this time, and go south next year!"

Cao Cao listened to Xun You's words, looked at Xun You silently, and said with a helpless wry smile: "In the coming year, in the coming year, who can say what will happen in the coming year? Now that I, Cao Mengde, still have the energy to go south, how can I retreat without a fight?" , This is not to let the world see the joke, saying that I am afraid of that Liu Xuande, afraid of that Sun Zhongmou, afraid of that Liu Jingsheng!"

After Cao Cao finished speaking, all the civil and military people around looked at Cao Cao silently, not daring to say a word. After all, what Cao Cao said was the truth, and it would be a shame to retire now!

"Where is Xu Huang?" Cao Cao silently glanced at his generals, and suddenly missed Bai Ren, but Cao Cao couldn't call Bai Ren back now, so he could only look at Xu Huang silently and shouted .

"The last general is here!" Xu Huang stood up from his seat, saluted Cao Cao respectfully, and responded to Cao Cao with a heavy tone.

"I ordered you to command [-] troops and rush to Shouchun as quickly as possible to break the siege of Shouchun. After you break the siege, you will take over Xia Houyuan and lead the troops to resist Sun Quan in Shouchun!" Cao Cao looked at Xu with a serious expression at this time. Huang said that at this time Cao Cao didn't care about the difference between closeness and closeness, and directly appointed Xu Huang to replace Xia Houyuan to resist Sun Quan in the east.

Xu Huang listened to Cao Cao's words, looked at Cao Cao's cold eyes, and quickly said to Cao Cao in a heavy tone: "The last general is ordered to let the army of Soochow be trapped in the south of the Yangtze River!"

After Xu Huang finished speaking to Cao Cao, he carefully took the soldier talisman from Cao Cao's hand, and then quickly walked out of the big tent, preparing to gather the soldiers to head east.

Cao Cao watched Xu Huang leave, looked gloomy at his subordinates, civil and military, and said to his subordinates in a hoarse voice: "I don't believe that Liu Bei and Liu Biao can resist the truth when I personally lead the army and go south to Fancheng." army!"

After hearing Cao Cao's ancient times, the surrounding civil and military people looked at Cao Cao with a little excitement. It seemed that Cao Cao was going to use all his strength to deal with Liu Bei and Liu Biao.

"Yan Liang!" Cao Cao's voice suddenly sounded when all the generals looked a little heavy.

Yan Liang, who was among the generals, walked out silently, and said to Cao Cao with a serious expression, "The last general is here!"

Originally, one of the four court pillars in Hebei was killed in battle, and Yan Liang escaped. Finally, when Cao Cao attacked Yecheng, he took refuge in Cao Cao. As for Zhang He and Gao Lan, they are now Bai Ren's confidantes.

Cao Cao looked at Yan Liang in front of him. In fact, Cao Cao also knew that his generals Dian Wei could be ranked first, but Dian Wei died in the battle in the end. Now Cao Cao's most powerful men should be Bai Ren and Bai Zifu. After all, Bai Zifu can be undefeated under Lu Bu, as for the second place should be Xu Chu, who can almost stand shoulder to shoulder with Dian Wei, and the third place should be Yan Liang, after all, the two heroes of Hebei are well-deserved, Wen Chou singled out Both Xu Chu and Xu Huang were not at a disadvantage, let alone Yan Liang, who didn't even belong to Xu Chu.

"I ordered you to be the vanguard general, to command five thousand cavalry, to open the way for our army!" Cao Cao looked at Yan Liang's appearance, and said to Yan Liang with a heavy tone.

"The last general listens to the order!" Yan Liang responded to Cao Cao calmly after listening to Cao Cao's words, and then retreated silently.

Now Cao Cao's army is resting in Nanyang, and after a period of rest, it means that it is time to go south to fight.

And Liu Bei led his army and people to Fancheng slowly. As the gateway to Jingzhou that Liu Biao really controlled, Fancheng is now heavily guarded.

Liu Biao has now been frightened to death by the news of Cao Cao's going south. The affairs of Jingzhou are completely handed over to the Cai family and the Kuai family. Wan Dajun was stationed in Fancheng.

The soldiers on the top of the city found the people and soldiers below the city, their expressions became a little nervous, and they hurriedly informed the guard Wenpin.

Wenpin came to the top of the city tower and looked at the people and the army below, his face slightly wrinkled, looked at the leader Liu Bei, and suddenly understood what was going on.

"Is it Liu Bei who is under the tower, Mr. Liu?" Wen Pin shouted towards the tower with a serious expression.

Hearing the voice, Liu Bei raised his head to look at the middle-aged general with a serious face on the tower, and said to Wenpin in a heavy tone: "General Liu Bei Liu Xuande, Xinye City is now destroyed, Xuande has no choice but to bring Let the people and soldiers under his command go south, and I hope the general will open the city gates to take in the people!"

After listening to Liu Bei's words, Wenpin hesitated for a moment. Wenpin is also a person who knows the overall situation, and understands what it means to be cold-hearted. Although Cai Mao reminded him not to help Liu Bei when he came, Wenpin still listened to his heart. So he shook his hand and signaled his soldiers to open the city gate.

"Wen Zhongye in Xia Nanyang, I met the envoy!" Wen Pin looked at Liu Bei, and saluted Liu Bei excitedly.

Looking at Wenpin's appearance, Liu Bei said to Wenpin with a little excitement: "I have heard about General Wenpin's name for a long time, and seeing him today really deserves his reputation!"

"Emissary, please come inside quickly!" Seeing Liu Bei's state, Wenpin hurriedly brought Liu Bei in.

"Now that Cao Cao's army is going south, I wonder how many soldiers there are in Fancheng?" Liu Bei came to the hall and sat on the guest seat, while Guan Yu and Zhang Fei stood on both sides. Liu Bei looked at Wen Pin, who was sitting on the main seat, with a heavy tone asked Wenpin.

Hearing Liu Bei's words, Wenpin was taken aback for a moment, with a look of vigilance in his eyes, finally sighed, and replied to Liu Bei in a heavy tone: "Now there are only [-] soldiers in Fancheng!"

"20?" Liu Bei shook his head helplessly when he heard this. Cao Cao claimed to have an army of [-] soldiers, and now he has only [-] soldiers in Fancheng, while he has no more than [-] soldiers. Cao Cao's opponent!

"I don't know if the general can ask for help from Xiangyang Wenpin?" Liu Bei looked at Wenpin with a serious face at this time, and asked Wenpin in a serious tone. Jingzhou is known as a hundred thousand men with armor, except Jiangxia [-], [-] here, there should be [-] soldiers. If Fancheng adds [-] soldiers, maybe it can resist Cao Cao's southward march!

"Now Zhou Mu is seriously ill, and all affairs are handed over to the Kuai brothers and Cai Mao. I am afraid that the reinforcements will not come!" Hearing Liu Bei's question, Wen Pin sighed helplessly, with a somewhat heavy tone. Said to Liu Bei.

When Liu Bei heard Wen Pin say that Liu Biao was seriously ill and could not deal with affairs, a golden light flashed in his eyes, but soon the golden light dissipated in Liu Bei's eyes.

"Now that Cao Cao's army is approaching, I hope the general will strengthen the city's defenses to overcome this difficulty!" Seeing Wenpin's tired face, Liu Bei said helplessly to Wenpin, then saluted and left silently.

Wenpin looked at the back of Liu Bei leaving, silently stroked his beard, his face became a little cold, this Liu Bei and Liu Xuande are really unfathomable, his emotions and anger are invisible, he is really a hero!

In the barracks, Liu Bei sat at the main seat, looking at Zhuge Liang who was standing beside him with a heavy face, who kept shaking his feather fan, and said to Zhuge Liang with a heavy tone: "Military Master, the current situation is internal and external. Outside, Cao Cao is going south. With Cai Mao in power, I'm afraid the situation is a bit out of control now!"
