628 , Cao Cao's Intention

Xu Ducheng!

In the General's Mansion of Cheqi and Cavalry, Cao Cao's left hand was set against his head to relieve the headache. After being attacked by Zhang Xiu in Wancheng, Cao Cao's headache was resent and aggravated a lot.

Nanyang County was captured, and the threat from the west of Xudu was lifted, but he was careless and was attacked by Zhang Xiu, killing a nephew and losing tens of thousands of people. Although it was so painful, it was still acceptable. However, the subsequent influence made Cao Cao unable to accept it.

When the army returned to the court, Cao Cao was shocked to find that there were more people who opposed him. In the court, Wang Yun cooperated with him. No one dared to oppose him in the court, but many people opposed him in private.

Various nursery rhymes and children's songs are circulating in Xudu. What kind of wife Cao, what kind of stealing food and not wiping their mouths, and what kind of defeated generals seem to appear overnight.

Cao Cao originally thought it was Wang Yun who was doing it, but after investigation, it was not, but a new force, which had risen before the ceremony after the booking. Unexpectedly, Liu Zhe left, and this force still existed, and it seemed to have been strengthened a lot. No matter how Cao Cao and Wang Yun investigated it, they could not find it out.

So Cao Cao had a headache. After being attacked by Zhang Xiu, he was embarrassed by the sneak attack. The subsequent impact also caused him a headache. The third unknown force gave him a headache, and what made him even more headache was that Yuan Shu, a bastard, actually became emperor.

Yuan Shu's proclaiming himself emperor had a great influence on Cao Cao. Xu Du's third unknown force directly blamed Cao Cao for his proclaiming himself emperor, and compiled a nursery rhyme to let the children sing it everywhere.

No matter how annoyed Cao Cao was, he could not deal with these children. The more he dealt with them, the more he had something to do with Cao Cao. Therefore, Cao Cao could only endure being pointed at by the people every day when he went to court.

However, there is not a good news for this period. First of all, because Liu Zhe came to Xu Du, he patted his butt and left, allowing Wang Yun to see the situation clearly and cooperated with Cao Cao sincerely, and the court became the one-man for the two of them.

Secondly, Nanyang County is captured, so there is no need to worry that Zhang Xiu, a bastard, stabbed the knife in the back. Xu Du's threat is eliminated, so Cao Cao can sleep more peacefully.

The third point is that Ma Teng of Xiliang was left in Xudu. Cao Cao had already made a general strategy for Xiliang. After he finished his work, he could turn his gaze to the northwest.

How great would it be if Zhang Xiu hadn't rebelled? Cao Cao couldn't help but sigh when he thought of this.

"Has Liu Bei sent troops?" Cao Cao sighed and asked his subordinates.

Regarding Yuan Shu's rebellion, Cao Cao has not sent troops for a long time. It's not that Cao Cao doesn't want to attack Yuan Shu, but Cao Cao must attack Yuan Shu because the court is now under his control. This is the orthodox court recognized by the world, and there is no other family.

Yuan Shu who suddenly emerged and proclaimed himself emperor must be attacked, otherwise this orthodox court would disappoint and misunderstand those waiting-and-see ambitious people. They thought that the court could no longer deal with these ruthless behaviors, and then countless people would rush to imitate them.

Once this happens, the court controlled by Cao Cao will become worthless and become a burden to Cao Cao.

Cao Cao knew that if he didn't kill Yuan Shu, the bastard, as soon as possible, the impact would become very great. If he, an important official who represented the court, would not come forward, everyone would soon ignore the court.

But Cao Cao also had his own difficulties, and he was not to send troops if he wanted to send troops. Cao Cao was surrounded by enemies. On the other side of the Yellow River was Liu Zhe, Xuzhou Gongsun Zan to the east, and Liu Bei to the south. Fortunately, he killed the west, otherwise Cao Cao would have been surrounded by the enemy on all sides.

With so many enemies, we naturally have to arrange heavy troops to defend. In addition to the defending soldiers, Cao Cao also has nearly 200,000 soldiers available.

However, after conquering Nanyang County, Cao Cao had to let tens of thousands of soldiers defend in Nanyang to avoid being suddenly attacked by Liu Biao in Jingzhou or Liu Bei in Yuzhou, which would make some fun.

Xu is all the base camps, and it is close to Yuzhou. One hundred thousand soldiers must be placed to defend, so that Cao Cao would have no available soldiers.

Cao Cao meant to transfer 30,000 soldiers from Nanyang County to defend Xudu, and then draw 30,000 troops from Xudu's 100,000 troops, plus 10,000 tiger and leopard cavalry, and set out to attack Yuan Shu.

Cao Cao didn't take Yuan Shu seriously. He had seen through Yuan Shu before, and was very ambitious and talented, and even Yuan Shao was not as good as Yuan Shao. Cao Cao was not afraid of him at all.

It takes time for a large army to change defenses. Cao Cao planned to wait for the 30,000 soldiers from Nanyang County to return and then lead the troops to set off.

However, before the 30,000 soldiers in Nanyang returned, Cao Cao received news that Liu Bei sent troops.

Cao Cao was not surprised by Liu Bei's sending troops. Liu Bei, the one who bought shoes, was a treacherous and cunning guy. He could not get up early without profit. Yuan Shu was the emperor and he sent troops to deal with Yuan Shu, which naturally had countless benefits.

When Cao Cao asked that question, Cheng Yu, who was standing by, replied, "Yes, Liu Bei's army has reached the border of Runan County and was blocked by Yuan Shu's army. Both sides set up camps and tested each other."

"Where is Gongsun Zan?" Cao Cao thought for a while and asked again.

He did not forget Gongsun Zan in Xuzhou. If it weren't for this damn Gongsun Zan, Xuzhou would have been his possession.

Cheng Yu replied: "Gongsun Zan's attitude is subtle. Although he has assembled a large army, the army has not set off for a long time."

"Hmph, as long as Yuan Shu reveals his flaws, he will definitely pounce on him and take a bite." Cao Cao snorted coldly. Gongsun Zan, a guy who was not in the north, actually came to Xuzhou to ruin his big deal.

"That's right, he is waiting." Cheng Yu agreed with Cao Cao's words.

"Zhongde, what do you think?" Cao Cao suddenly asked.

"Master, do you want them to fight first?"

When Cheng Yu heard Cao Cao’s question, he understood what Cao Cao wanted to do.

Cao Cao nodded and said nothing. He did have such an idea.

Although Yuan Shu is useless, he has some troops in his hands. Even if he is not good, he can consume some of the strength of Liu Bei or Gongsun Zan.

Yuan Shu is a waste, but Liu Bei and Gongsun Zan are not. The alliance between them puts a lot of pressure on Cao Cao. Cao Cao has long wanted to deal with these two people.

"Zhongde, what do you think of attacking Xuzhou?"
