Cao Cao struggled to support himself in Yanzhou.

Zhao Hui's grain and grass are basically ready. One army after another, under the leadership of Pei Yuanshao, Zhou Cang and other generals, began to assemble to the front line.

A few thousand people, many tens of thousands. Departing from various counties.

The Huns have been defeated, and Zhao Hui can have a lot less scruples.

More men can be drawn from the north to participate in this battle.

"Cao Cao must not be allowed to take refuge in Yuan Shao."

Zhao Hui didn't expect that Cao Cao would have the intention of taking refuge in Yuan Shao.

Now it is Zhao Hui fighting Yuan Shao, and Lu Bu beating Cao Cao.

It seems that Cao Cao defected to Yuan Shao, and there will be no big changes.

But in fact, Lu Bu will definitely not fully cooperate with Zhao Hui at that time.

Now Lu Bu is going all out to deal with Cao Cao, but if Cao Cao withdraws from Yanzhou, how much strength will Lu Bu take?

It may even be possible to directly stand still and sit and watch Zhao Hui monopolize Yuan Shao and Cao Cao.

If you want Lu Bu to do his best, you can't let Cao Cao withdraw from Yanzhou.

Cao Cao still had 50,000 troops in his hands, which was enough to affect the war between Zhao Hui and Yuan Shao.

Not to mention that Cao Cao still has many generals in his hands.

Each person led all the way, and Zhao Hui was difficult to parry.

"Is there any way you can stop Cao Cao?" Zhao Hui asked.

Xu Shu said: "Inform Lu Bu and let Lu Bu block the roads to Jizhou." At the same time, he sent people to Zhengcheng to create rumors and public opinion. ”

Guo Jia said: "The rumors are indeed feasible, but Lu Bu is afraid that he will not prevent Cao Cao from fleeing to Jizhou." ”

For Lu Bu, it is more advantageous for Cao Cao to take the initiative to withdraw from Yanzhou now.

Although Lü Bu now has the upper hand and has the support of the Yanzhou family, his control over Yanzhou is very weak.

If the war continues, it is difficult to say who Yanzhou will be.

Lü Bu now needs time to consolidate his position in Yanzhou.

Guo Jia said: "But Lu Bu can still take advantage of it." ”

Cao Cao wanted to vote for Yuan Shao, but this was true or false.

Except for Cao Cao, no one else can be sure.

Even Cao Cao himself couldn't be sure.

If he didn't have a chance, he went to Yuan Shao, which was the last last resort.

If there is a chance, Cao Cao will definitely compete with Lu Bu.

finally got Yanzhou and operated it for so many years, Cao Cao was never willing to give up like this.

It's just that the news that he is going to defect to Yuan Shao has been leaked.

Yuan Shao is now facing Zhao Hui, and the Huns have been defeated.

He desperately needed another strength to resist Zhao Hui with him.

Therefore, when Yuan Shao learned that Cao Cao intended to defect to him, he immediately sent Xun Chen and asked Xun Chen to rush to Zhengcheng to meet Cao Cao.

Yuan Shao's conditions for Cao Cao were very good.

After destroying Zhao Hui, Cao Cao was directly appointed as the pastor of Youzhou.

If Cao Cao really defected to Yuan Shao, Tian Feng and others would have to stand aside.

Cao Cao had a good relationship with Yuan Shao at the beginning. Not to mention the strategists and generals in his hands now, he is not inferior to Yuan Shao at all.

And Cao Cao himself is also a dragon among men.

If Cao Cao really defected to Yuan Shao and helped Yuan Shao fight Zhao Hui.

In this war, Zhao Hui's victory rate will immediately drop from the original seventy percent to thirty percent.

In the face of Xun Chen, it was difficult for Cao Cao to give a definite answer.

Whether to give up Yanzhou and go to Yuan Shao, Cao Cao has not yet made a final decision.

After all, he still has three cities, and Lu Bu may not be able to defeat these three cities.

Several of his major strategists did not recommend Cao Cao to defect to Yuan Shao.

Cao Cao defected to Yuan Shao, at least the number two person.

But the status of his strategists and generals cannot be higher than Tian Feng's judgment and Yan Liangwen's ugliness.

Xun Chen saw Cao Cao's hesitation, and said: "If Cao Yanzhou can't let go of Yanzhou's foundation, he can send his family to Jizhou first, or fight with Lu Bu. ”

Xun Chen's words made Cao Cao very moved.

Lu Bu is putting a lot of pressure on Cao Cao now.

Although there are still Xun Youxi, Zhicai, Li Dian and others around him.

But the families of Yanzhou have all stood on the opposite side of Cao Cao.

Cao Cao now wants to capture Yanzhou, but it is more difficult than before.

made Cao Cao feel quite betrayed.

"Then, according to Mr.'s words, please take care of my wife and children." Cao Cao said.

Xun Chen said: "Cao Yanzhou rest assured. ”

"Please go to the inn for a night's rest." Cao Cao saw Xun Yu give him a look, so he said.

Waiting for Xun Chen to leave, Cao Cao said: "What does Gongda have to say? ”

Xun You said: "Lord, don't send your wife and son to Jizhou." If it is sent to Jizhou, I am afraid it will be difficult to come back in this life. ”

Cao Cao sighed and said: "I also know, when Nai is like this, Gongda can have other ways?" ”

Xun You said: "Lord, although the situation is unfavorable to us now, it is not completely impossible to win. ”

Cheng Yu also followed: "Yuan Shao is a wolf, ambitious, and conceited, and he can't conspire with him." ”

Whether it was for Cao Cao or for themselves, they didn't want Cao Cao to defect to Yuan Shao.

If Cao Cao defected to Yuan Shao, why didn't they directly defect to Yuan Shao in the first place, and why did they follow Cao Cao.

It means that their efforts in the past few years have all been in vain.

At the beginning, Yuan Shao's power was greater than Cao Cao's, but they still chose to defect to Cao Cao because they were more optimistic about Cao Cao.

Xiang Xunyou, Xun Yu, Cheng Yu and others have had many contacts with Yuan Shao.

Although Yuan Shao hid it well, Xun Yu and others still saw the meanness and lack of kindness in Yuan Shao's bones.

And they take refuge in the weak Cao Cao, and they can also be more reused.

Under Yuan Shao's account, there are already many strategists and generals, and it is more difficult for them to be reused.

Now that Cao Cao wants to take refuge in Yuan Shao, they have three choices.

One is to leave Cao Cao and not to take refuge in Yuan Shao. They go back a few years.

The second is to continue to follow Cao Cao, but his status in Jizhou will never be as good as that of Feng Ji and others.

The third is to follow Yuan Shao, but at the beginning, they chose Cao Cao between Yuan Cao, and they were not optimistic about Yuan Shao.

These three choices cannot satisfy the interests of Xun Yu, Cheng Yu and others.

Although Cao Cao is now at a disadvantage, Xun Yu Chengyu and others are showing full confidence in front of Cao Cao.

has always emphasized that Lu Bu can be defeated, and they still have hope.

This is the difference between Xun Yu, Cheng Yu and others, and Guo Tufengji and others.

They will only keep making Cao Cao firm and Cao Cao having enough confidence.

And Guo Tufengji and others always kept shaking Yuan Shao's confidence, making it impossible for Yuan Shao to make a choice quickly.

"Lord, Lu Bu is a puppet, and he is just gaining momentum for a while. As long as we persist in March, we will be able to overcome it. Xi Zhicai said.

Is there any way to defeat Lu Bu, Xi Zhicai didn't expect it, but he still swore and said big things in front of Cao Cao.

Xun Yu also said: "Lord, recently, rumors have spread in the city, saying that Bao Xin died at the hands of the lord and Yuan Shao, if the lord defects to Yuan Shao at this time, I am afraid that it will be detrimental to the reputation of the lord." ”
