Xun You smiled and said: "It's still thoughtful and thoughtful, and You're anxious." ”

Cao Cao waved his hand and said: "This matter will be handed over to Gongda, and tomorrow you can arrange it and tell all the ministries that defense should be the main thing, and promotion should be the second, and you must not be greedy for merit." ”

Xun You replied: "Don't worry, the lord will keep in mind that he will strictly explain to the generals who lead the troops." ”

"Okay." Cao Cao looked at everyone and asked, "Take Li Huiyi, where should our army wave our troops next?"

Xu You said: "Lord, you suggest, I don't know if I should talk about it?"

Cao Cao looked at Xu You, smiled and said, "Ziyuan has something to say." ”

Xu You arched his hand and said: "Have you ever thought that the living Li Huiyi is more useful than the dead." ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone in the tent frowned and thought.

Leaving Li Huiyi does have a lot of benefits, at least it can make the military generals under his command timid.

But at the same time, it is also accompanied by the risk of allowing Li Huiyi to flee back to the north, so all this layout will be in vain.

In front of him, there are two choices, one is to kill Li Huiyi, and then defeat his subordinates and others one by one.

In addition, he was captured alive and used him as a threat to force the generals under his command to surrender, or to tie him up in front of the army during the siege of the city, so that Li Jun would not dare to act rashly.

Again, even if he is exchanged for a state, presumably Li Huiyi's subordinates and others will agree.

Seeing everyone's pensive faces, Xu You said: "Capturing Li Huiyi is like beating a snake for seven inches, and the four northern states will definitely fall into chaos." ”

"The Qingzhou army is currently in a stalemate with Liu Bei, if Liu Bei learns the news, he will definitely counterattack and want to get some benefits, then Tai Shici and others will not be able to get out."

"The lord has the opportunity to quickly take Qingzhou, and then attack Yizhou, but in fact, the soldiers and horses will be transferred to Bingzhou, Gao Shun is loyal, and he is a veteran who has followed Li Huiyi for many years."

"At that time, as long as Li Huiyi is tied in front of the army, he will definitely give up resistance, and then take the two states, and then exchange Li Huiyi for Yizhou, and the lord can easily occupy the three states."

This idea can be described as beautiful, and it can save a lot of time, but the premise is to capture Li Huiyi alive.

Just as Cao Cao was thinking, a voice sounded outside the tent. "Report! And there is an urgent report from the state. ”

"Come in!" Cao Cao put away his thoughts and let the soldiers outside the tent enter.

The soldier entered the tent, knelt down and said, "Lord, Xu Huang has returned to Xuchang, and Lord Cheng Yu specially ordered the villain to send an urgent report." ”

Cao Cao waved his hand, stood aside Xu Chu, stepped forward to take the letter from the soldier's hand, and handed it to Cao Cao.

Cao Cao opened it and glanced at it, and his face suddenly became ugly. "Zhongde is really a mistake, the whole army of Bingzhou was annihilated, even the tigers and leopards were killed and wounded, my sons and nephews were all left and merged, and their lives and deaths are unknown."

Hearing such bad news, the faces of everyone in the tent changed.

Cao Ang is the eldest son and the successor in the eyes of everyone, and wanting to redeem him is very simple for the current situation, but they will not agree.

But they won't say anything to persuade them, after all, this is Cao Cao's family matter, and if Cao Ang will have a chance to inherit his father's business, then they will also be hated.

"Zhongkang, go and guard the door, don't let anyone approach." Cao Cao waved his hand and asked Xu Chu to leave with his soldiers.

"Alas!" After Xu Chu left, Cao Cao said, "Tell me, what should I do, do you want to redeem them back?"

To redeem them and come back, Li Huiyi will definitely use this as a threat to let Cao Jun let go and let them go.

So carefully planned for a long time will be in vain.

Li Huiyi can win the plan once, it does not mean that he can win the second time, the next time such an opportunity, maybe there will be no more, maybe there will be, everything is unknown.

Everyone in the tent naturally hoped that Cao Cao would focus on the overall situation, so he silently expressed his opinion.

Cao Cao is also a smart person, seeing that everyone is silent, he knows the deep meaning, and in the face of family affection and hegemony, it is easy to choose, but it is also difficult to choose.

Cao Cao's face kept changing, and he finally made a decision. "Hey! The order went down, and Li Huiyi was captured alive as much as possible in this battle. ”

Cao Cao finally chose to sacrifice Cao Ang, but still retained a trace of family affection, as long as Li Huiyi did not die, then Cao Ang and others would not be in danger of their lives.

"The lord is wise." Seeing Cao Cao make a decision, everyone in the tent flattered him and stopped talking.

There are many people who speak about the matter of the heirs, and the desolate end of the situation abounds, and several people in the tent are smart people, but they don't want to end up like this.

Although Cao Cao dismissed all the idle people, there was no guarantee that the matter would not be spread.

Especially the people in this tent will definitely stand in line with Cao Cao in the future, and this matter will be a hidden danger at that time.

Seeing that everyone couldn't give any opinions, Cao Cao waved his hand and said, "Go down, always monitor Li Huiyi's movements, I'm tired." ”

After the eviction order, the people got up and saluted, and left the tent.

When the people left, Cao Cao muttered to himself: "It's okay, everything is a certainty, it seems that I and Huiyi, the brotherhood is not over." ”

Xu You's advice and the bad news of the state gave Cao Cao a decision, so that Li Huiyi lost his life.

But for this battle, it did not have the slightest impact, and Cao's army, under the command of Xun You, steadily advanced every day, narrowing the scope of activities of Li's army.

Li Jun tried to break out of the weak point many times, but he was killed by Cao Jun, and his strength gradually weakened.

In desperation, Li Huiyi could only give up on breaking through and retreat step by step.

However, while retreating, a soldier accidentally discovered a source of water in a hole.

Knowing that there was water, Li Huiyi immediately went to check, and when he entered the cave, he saw that the flying stones were messy, all kinds, and there were water droplets slowly falling from the top of the cave, splashing through the boulders below.

Li Huiyi walked forward about 100 meters, and saw a natural stone room appear, and immediately stopped to take a few more looks, and there seemed to be a little inexplicable throbbing in his heart.

After watching for a while, Li Huiyi unintentionally swept to the upper right and saw a model like a chessboard engraved on the stone wall.

Li Huiyi doesn't know anything about the ancient game of Go, but he can see the fall on it and know that it is an endgame.

With curiosity, Li Huiyi fixed his eyes and observed carefully, and found that there were two stone dragons on the stone wall, looming, and the scales and jade armor were faintly visible.

This recruitment, looking at it, Li Huiyi was shocked on the spot, is this a natural formation, or is someone deliberately staying.

If someone stays, then what is his intention, in ancient times, he carved a dragon statue privately, but it was a crime to kill the head of the clan.

And what does this chess game represent, is it the same as the Eight Divisions of the Heavenly Dragon, waiting for fate to crack it?

Moving with his heart, Li Huiyi stepped forward and gently touched it back and forth with his hand a few times, but he didn't find anything wrong.

Could it be that he thought too much, Li Huiyi put away his mind, looked back and forth a few times, confirmed that there was no abnormality, and walked forward with his head shaken.

The inward terrain is getting lower and lower, and soon after Li Huiyi walked forward, he saw many stalactites and stalagmites, erected in front of them, accompanied by a slight flowing water.

This year's drought, there is still a slight flow of water here, but if it is normal, the water potential will definitely be more than ten times larger than this, with this product of nature, it must be extremely spectacular.

But Li Huiyi was now in a Jedi, and he had no intention of appreciating it, so he took a few looks, and continued to walk forward, but he didn't travel long before he saw that the road ahead was blocked by a deep pool.
