"My lord, Xiahoudun is incompetent, Linjing has fallen, and he is here to ask for death!" Xiahoudun knelt down with a plop, and explained his reason for coming.

"This?" Cao Cao was shocked when he heard this.

Although he had received news before that Ma Chao's army had set out from Wushi and marched along the Jing River.

But he didn't expect that the opponent would take Linjing City so quickly.

Cao Cao is very clear about the defense of Linjing City.

He even planned to retreat the main force to Linjing before defending the city if the battle on the front line was unfavorable.

But this strong city fell by itself first, how could Cao Cao accept such a result easily.

"Didn't I order you to stand firm? Why were you captured by the enemy so easily? Also, how many troops do you have left?"

Facing Cao Cao's questioning, Xiahou Dun felt even more ashamed.

I had no choice but to tell the truth about what happened in Linjing.

Xiahou Dun refused to obey his orders and wanted to leave the city. In the end, not only did he lose the strong city, but the entire [-] army was wiped out, and he fled back alone.

When Cao Cao heard this, he was instantly furious.Xiahou Dun was about to beheaded immediately.

The officials in the tent were shocked when they heard the words, and hurriedly got up to intercede for Xiahou Dun, which saved him from the death penalty.

He was removed from the military post and reduced to the lowest general, which allowed him to be included.

Xiahou Dun went straight to the back, just in time to see Cao Hong with a gloomy face.

At that time, he was stationed at Linjing and Cao Hong was stationed at Tingkou, and he received military orders from this tent at the same time.

Now that the other party is here, the result is self-evident.

The two suffering brothers stood side by side in this way, comforting each other.

The news I got recently is all bad news, and each one is getting worse than the other.

This also made Cao Cao more and more impatient, and his head and wind attacks happened one after another, and he was in great pain.

Now I have been surrounded by Liu Ke's army in the area of ​​Yinpan and Yiju.

The situation can be described as extremely dangerous, and there is a possibility of being surrounded by the opponent at any time.

So Cao Cao also hastened to formulate countermeasures.

Everyone discussed and discussed, but they still couldn't come up with an effective strategy.

After all, there is a huge difference in strength between the two sides now, and Cao Cao does not take advantage of the timing, location, and people.

Even the counselors under him did not have the confidence to win.

All they think about now is how to get out and save their lives.

So there was no objection to this kind of discussion, but it made Cao Cao even more upset, and his head began to ache.

At first, Cao Cao was able to grit his teeth and persist, but in the end he couldn't hold on anymore, shouted, and pushed it to the table in front of him.

Immediately, he rushed out of the tent and rushed to his sleeping tent.

Seeing this, the generals had no choice but to leave, and at the same time felt even more desperate for the future.

Only a few of Cao Cao's confidants rushed up with concern to check on his condition.

Especially Xiahou Dun and Cao Hong were very worried about his health.

On the other hand, Ma Chao successfully captured Linjing City, and since then there has been no barrier with Cao Cao's main force.

He also immediately arranged for the sergeant to report the good news to Liu Ke.

Liu Ke also happened to take Tingkou Pass, and after marching, he set up camp fifty miles away from Cao Cao's main force.

After receiving the news, Liu Ke was overjoyed, and immediately summoned his generals to start the last plan before the decisive battle.

Just then, another messenger arrived.

Liu Ke opened the envelope and saw that it was news from Bingzhou.

Since Ling Tong and Hu Chuquan Shanyu stationed in Bingzhou got the news that Liu Ke asked to march.

After traveling all day and night, he finally arrived yesterday at Niyang, fifty miles north of Yiju, where he was stationed, threatening Cao Cao from the north.

In this way, Ma Chao is from the west, Ling Tong is from the north, and Liu Keqin mentioned that the main force is from the southeast.

The three-way army was nearly 40, and they surrounded Cao Cao, who now had only 10 horses.

In fact, there is nothing to plan.

The general trend has come, and Cao Cao has been surrounded in Yiju and Yinpan.

Directly all three armies attack together, and the opponent will be unable to escape.

Therefore, Liu Ke decided to write a copy of the book himself and ordered someone to send it to Ma Chao and Ling Tong.

Tell them that Wangri, seven days later, will be the day of his decisive battle with Cao Cao.

At that time, they should not appear in a hurry, and temporarily lie in ambush, and when Cao Cao is defeated and flees, they will work together to capture him!

After sending these two letters, Liu Ke seemed to remember something.
