Xiahou Dun's letter said: "Report to Wei Gong. According to the messenger from Fancheng, Liu Biao sent his second son Liu Cong with 40,000 elite soldiers to cross the Han River and turn Fancheng into a watertight barrier. Now, Fancheng is everywhere.

All the roads were cut off by him, turning it into an isolated city. Cao Renman Chong had nothing to do and could only wait to die. Beforehand, Liu Cong sent Zhao Yun to lead troops to conquer Deng County. Xu Huang, the garrison of Wancheng, wanted to go over to reinforce Fancheng, but there was no way out?

?????”

After Cao Cao read this, he threw away the letter in his hand and cursed: "What's the point of losing such an important place like Deng County? What does Xiahou Dun do for food? Why not defend Deng County? Is this a pig's head?"

Cao Cao cursed here, and the temple on the other side also started to hurt, and the pain was very severe. The pain made Cao Cao dizzy.

After pausing for a while and finally getting stronger, Cao Cao thought: "Liu Cong, this kid, is really extraordinary! Knowing that Deng County was captured in advance, once Deng County was lost, Wancheng Xu Huang wanted to reinforce Fancheng, and there was really nothing he could do."

Thinking of this, Cao Cao thought again: "Deng County is lost, but there is still Yuzhou. Yuzhou has 30,000 elite soldiers. As long as they are dispatched, they can affect the actions of the Jingzhou soldiers in Fancheng."

Cao Cao felt a little more at ease after thinking about this. When he picked up Xiahou Dun's letter and read it, he saw that the letter said: "The last general has issued two orders, ordering Xu Huang and Xiahou Yuan to divide their troops into two groups. Xu Huang will immediately march to Deng County.

We must march forward and recapture Deng County at all costs. On the other side, Xia Houyuan led troops to move towards Quewei Slope. After conquering the Quewei Slope pass, they went straight to Xinye. If these two groups of troops succeed, Fancheng will be able to relieve the siege in a short time. Here

This is the situation. If Wei Gong has any instructions, please make them clear as soon as possible."

Cao Cao read this and thought: "Yuan Rang is confused. Deng County has been occupied by Zhao Yun. With Zhao Yun's ability and Deng County's easy-to-defend but difficult-to-attack terrain, how easy is it to regain Deng County? Also, Quewei Slope belongs to Xinye.

Liu Bei is under the jurisdiction of Liu Bei. Liu Bei has two good generals, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei. As long as they hold Quewei Slope, how can Xia Houyuan attack it? If it is destroyed, it seems that Fancheng is doomed. But what kind of person is Liu Cong'er?

Damn, how can you show the same talent in just one save?"

At this time, Cao Cao didn't know that Zhou Cang was guarding Quewei Slope, nor that veteran Huang Zhong was guarding Xinye. He just felt that Fancheng was in danger, and admired Liu Cong's general's demeanor in arranging his troops, so he was anxious.

Knowing the details of Liu Cong, he gave a serious order: "Bring the envoy of Xiahou Dun over to talk."

The envoy came over. Cao Cao stared and asked, "Do you know the details of Liu Cong?"

"I know something."

"Tell me, who is Liu Cong? Why did Liu Biao send him to lead the army?"

"I heard that although Liu Cong is not very young, he is both civil and military, and he has made all plans and plans. He is especially good at prediction, and his predictions are very accurate. He also understands economics and politics. After he obtained the power to take charge of Jingzhou Yamen from Liu Biao,

He immediately adjusted the officials at all levels of the yamen, and sent Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei to act as agents to manage the yamen affairs. He freed up his own hands to lead the troops to regain the lost territory north of the Han River. He also said that he would wait for four years to compete with Wei Gong personally.

Zhongyuan must be completed??????"

When the envoy said this, he opened his eyes and closed his mouth. He looked straight at Cao Cao and stopped talking.

When Cao Cao saw this, he shouted and asked: "Four years from now, you will compete with me in the Central Plains. What else are you going to do?"

"I dare not say it!"

"Damn it, tell me now!"

"He said that in four years' time, he will compete with Duke Wei in the Central Plains. He has absolute confidence in defeating Duke Wei. He must annihilate Cao Wei and support the Han Dynasty."

"Yeah!" Cao Cao was so angry that he jumped up from the case. He covered his temples with one hand and pointed at the messenger and said, "Go back and tell him. Just say, Wei Gong said that you want to defeat Wei Gong.

That’s a daydream!”

After hearing this, the messenger murmured: "How can I tell him?"

After hearing this, Cao Cao raised his head and thought: "Yes! How can this envoy tell Liu Cong? I am confused by him." Thinking of this, he turned around and ordered: "Generals, listen to the order and immediately send troops back to Fancheng. First, kill Liu Biao's pigs."

Kill Liu Cong, the dog son, and come back to deal with Yuan Shao's two sons."

However, there were only a few civil servants in the room at this time, and no military generals were present. When Cao Cao gave his order, no one responded.

Cao Cao took a quick look and realized that he had not recovered from Liu Cong's anger, so he sat down with a shameful face to vent his anger.

Xun You and Guo Jia came together to persuade Cao Cao.

Guo Jia said: "Does Wei Gong really want to give up the important affairs in Hebei and lead his troops back to deal with Liu Cong?"

Cao Cao rolled his eyes at Guo Jia and said angrily: "Is it okay if I don't do this? Seeing that if Fancheng is lost, the land south of Xuchang will not be saved. Why am I still working here? Yuan Xi and Yuan Shang are scared out of their wits.

When I had the opportunity to escape outside the Great Wall, I led my troops back to deal with Liu Cong, stabilized the rear, and then came back to deal with Yuan Shao's two sons. I can't say it was a clever move, right? I can't fight the tiger through the front door, but let the wolf come in through the back door.

?”

"Wei Gong's idea is reasonable and should be done. However, I feel that??????"

Guo Jia also stopped talking when he said this and looked straight at Cao Cao.

Cao Cao became anxious and urged: "What are you talking about? If you fart, hurry up!"

Guo Jia said slowly: "Wei Gong, I think that in terms of the overall situation in the world, Liu Cong is just a minor scabies disease, which will not become a big problem for a while. Hebei Yuan Xi and Yuan Shang are our most serious troubles. Specifically speaking, this Liu Cong

We just led 40,000 Jingzhou soldiers to cross the Han River and surrounded Fancheng. We have 8,000 elite soldiers in Fancheng, 8,000 in Wancheng, 30,000 in Yuzhou, and 20,000 in Xuchang. Taken together, the total strength in that area is 67

Ten thousand people, almost twice the number of troops led by Liu Cong. Moreover, the generals leading our army are all famous contemporary generals, Xiahou Dun, Xia Houyuan, Xu Huang, Cao Ren, which one is not famous throughout the world? Just these generals and troops will be dealt with

For Liu Cong, this is more than enough, why should Wei Gong personally lead troops back to rescue?"

Guo Jia's words made sense, so Cao Cao slowly listened. After listening, his heart calmed down, and his temples no longer hurt so much, so he said gently: "Yes, yes, it makes sense. Filial piety, filial piety, continue."

Go on."

Guo Jia continued: "In my opinion, Liu Cong's illness is just a minor disease called ringworm and scabies, and Yuan Shang and Yuan Xi are the serious ones. Now Wei Gong wants to put aside his serious concerns and not use strong medicine, but to use strong medicine to treat ringworm and scabies.

Is this a case of abandoning the basics and pursuing the weak?”

Cao Cao did not answer, but lowered his head and continued to listen to Guo Jia's words.

Guo Jia continued: "Yuan Shang and Yuan Xi's family have been friends with Xianbei Wuhuan since his father was alive. Although they are defeated, they still have tens of thousands of elite soldiers. If Wei Gong lets go and withdraws to Fancheng to deal with Liu Cong today, he will hit the target.

The trap of Liu Cong and Yuan Shang and Yuan Xi - as soon as Wei Gong withdrew, Yuan Shang and Yuan Xi would pull Wu Huan and fight back immediately. By then, Hebei would no longer belong to Wei Gong. If Wei Gong regained it

For Hebei, we have to start from scratch. I just have this opinion and report it to Wei Gong, asking Wei Gong to refer to it to decide important matters."

In fact, Cao Cao had already seen the situation. Why did he suddenly lead his troops back to Fancheng? This guy was just proud at this time and thought he was invincible.

In his opinion, the north of the Yangtze River was his sphere of influence. If Liu Biao and Sun Quan just stayed in the south of the Yangtze River and waited for death, it would be fine. If they thought of crossing the Yangtze River and causing trouble, Cao Cao would not tolerate it.

Now Liu Cong, a young boy, dared to come over and stroke his tiger beard, which Cao Cao could not tolerate.

To be honest, if Cao Cao was really sure that he would lead his troops to fight and eliminate Liu Cong, he would be right to come. However, after listening to Guo Jia's words, he despised Liu Cong. Besides, he really couldn't figure out Liu Cong.

After all, I really didn’t dare to say that I could win a battle when I led my troops back. So I secretly made up my mind: “Let’s just follow Guo Jia’s advice.” He thought.

However, Cao Cao would not show his lack of opinions easily in front of all the counselors. He raised his head and pretended to think deeply for a while, then said: "Feng Xiao is somewhat reasonable. However, Xu Changyuan

Wherever he goes, I have to give him some advice. Okay, that's it, you go back. I'll write a letter to Yuan Rang here and order him to act according to the plan. He must capture Liu Cong's son alive before the Spring Festival!

Well, I have to capture him alive, not to death. Only in this way can people in the world dare not underestimate me from now on. What a nonsense, cats and dogs want to come and take advantage of me."

So everyone dispersed, and Cao Cao began to write a letter to Xiahou Dun.

However, Cao Cao didn't have any clever ideas in mind. He just encouraged Xiahou Dun and finally praised him: "You did a good job in deploying troops this time, and you have the demeanor of a general. Just act like this. I'm waiting to hear how you defeated Liu Cong."
