Chapter 1070: Persecuting Cao Cao
It's right to be scared, Zhang Yu is not intimidating Cao Cao, but he also has to let Cao Cao know that his arrangement is wrong.
After Cao Cao went back, he believed Zhang Yu's words to a large extent.
Here, his civil and military high-level people gathered, and although there were many people left behind, they couldn't control the overall situation.
Originally, Cao Ang could control the overall situation, and with Xun You, it can be said that the arrangement is very appropriate.
But their communication is cut off, and they can't keep abreast of the situation outside, so if they "have an accident" at this time, the inside may really be chaotic.
What scared Cao Cao was that he should really designate a successor.
Although everyone knows that Cao Cao has designated his successor as Cao Ang, it has not been officially announced after all.
So, if this Cao Pi has ambitions?
Cao Cao also thought of a terrifying sight, that is, if Cao Ang wanted to eliminate the threat, it was not impossible to kill his younger brothers.
All kinds of terrible things made Cao Cao restless.
He summoned Cheng Yu and Jia Xu.
"How much truth is what Zhang Yu said today?" Cao Cao asked.
Jia Xu said: "Eighty percent is true, and it is most likely that the eldest son and the second son had a conflict, and the Xun family suffered." ”
Cao Cao felt uncomfortable in his heart, several sons were very capable, especially Cao Ang, who was deeply loved and relied on by him, but this time something like this happened.
"Zhang Yu is trying to force this king to rush out and give up Shouchun City." Cao Cao said.
At this time, Cao Cao and the others already knew Zhang Yu's purpose, but there must be an ambush outside, or they would have to lose a layer of skin if they rushed out.
Zhang Yu naturally simply let Cao Cao and them out, and he had already set up ambushes in several directions.
If Cao Cao doesn't go out, there will be a danger of civil strife in the entire territory.
Cao Cao didn't seem to have many options.
This mistake is that the person who did not explain the affairs of the territory well also needs to have someone with the authority of the Cao family or the Xiahou family.
As a result, he didn't expect Zhang Yu to use a more crazy strategy to surround them.
In this way, Cao Cao fell into a very difficult situation.
"It's not easy to give up Shouchun City, and then try to block Zhang Yu." Cao Cao said.
Originally, even if Zhang Yu surrounded the city, it didn't matter, after encircling it for a year, this Zhang Yu's territory might not be able to bear it.
But now it's Cao Cao himself who can't stand it first.
Cao Cao was thinking about the gains and losses.
In Zhang Yu's military camp, the soldiers are actively preparing for war.
Cao Cao was still thinking about it.
But Zhang Yu ate Cao Cao.
"I have Luoyang, Chang'an and other regions, and I may be able to compete with Zhang Yu." Cao Cao finally made up his mind.
In the case of civil strife, the entire force will collapse in a short period of time, just like the Yuan family, several brothers fight for power, and it is easy to be broken by each one.
At this time, Cao Cao made a lot of determination, which was to give up a large area of territory.
Give up Shouchun, and many places will not be able to hold.
Cao Cao called some of his henchmen.
"The situation has changed, Shouchun can no longer be defended, and he must break through."
Several generals had no opinions, and they all listened to Cao Cao.
So, Cao Cao and they began to arrange.
"Zhang Yu must have laid a lot of ambushes outside the city, although the trench has only filled in one place, but we can actually break through in four directions, Zhang Yu also understands this truth, we have more than 200,000 troops, and the troops out of the city even have an advantage."
Cao Cao's analysis is not unreasonable, Zhang Yu does not have enough troops.
He laid his troops and horses in four directions, because he had no way of judging where Cao Cao had broken through.
There are many disadvantages to this, but he can't take care of it, as long as Cao Cao is forced to come out of Shouchun City, they occupy Shouchun City, and then the army advances, which is the most important thing.
A few days later, one night, Cao Cao suddenly led a large army to rush out.
Zhang Yu's army immediately closed in.
But Cao Cao's troops are strong, and Xu Chu, Cao Ren, and Zhang Xiu in front are the vanguard together, and their combat power is very strong.
They just bumped into Zhao Yun's ambush circle.
Zhao Yun made way for them, and then intercepted some of the soldiers and horses.
The light cavalry led by Zhao Yun could not stop this vast army.
Zhao Yun gave way, and after that, several large armies surrounded him and intercepted some of Cao Cao's soldiers and horses.
Cao Cao concentrated all the elite soldiers and fierce generals in the front and the middle army, and did not arrange many people to break the rear, because they had many soldiers and horses, and Cao Cao did not believe that Zhang Yu could stop them.
successfully broke through, but this also means that Cao Cao gave up Shouchun.
After taking Shouchun, Zhang Yu's army entered Shouchun.
Cao Cao left, but he did not destroy Shouchun City, and even the warehouse inside was still full of grain.
Cao Cao also knew that destroying these would only make his reputation worse, and it would be more convenient for Zhang Yu for him to clean up.
If he does this, Zhang Yu can quickly win people's hearts. Cao Cao broke out, did not dare to delay at all, and hurried to find out the reason.
After some investigation, Cao Cao was extremely angry, and the matter turned out to be caused by Cao Pi.
Cao Ang let Cao Pi sit in Xuchang, which was originally a good strategy, but Cao Pi did such a thing.
Even, when Lu'an City was lost and a large area of land was lost, Cao Cao was not so angry.
Cao Cao summoned several of his henchmen.
"Cao Ren, I order you to immediately lead 30,000 troops to Xuchang, control the overall situation, and let Pi'er study hard." Cao Cao ordered.
Let Cao Pi study hard, that is, put him under house arrest.
"This Xun family is in ruins." After giving the order, Cao Cao sighed helplessly in his heart.
The Xun family, whether it is wronged or not, can no longer be used.
He wants to support Cao Ang, and if someone attacks Cao Ang through the affairs of the Xun family, then this Cao Ang will not be able to use the Xun family in the future, lest Cao Ang be attacked by others again.
Cao Cao made arrangements and sent several generals to stabilize the situation first.
Cao Cao got out of trouble, and many rumors naturally stopped.
But the lost territory will not be returned.
What scared Cao Cao was that a large number of families fled.
With Yuan Shao's negative teaching material, once Cao Cao collapses, their families will be slaughtered, if Cao Cao has an accident, the two sons will fight, and the Cao family will inevitably decline soon.
Cao Cao called Jia Xu and Cheng Yu over.
"Mr. Wenhe, this king wants you to help Ang'er." Cao Cao asked.
Jia Xu bowed, and then said: "The subordinates are naturally willing." ”
Cao Cao is going to abolish Xun You, I have to say that this Xun You is a talent,
But the Xun family can't continue to use it regardless of whether there is a problem or not.
Cheng Yu on the side said: "My lord, up to now, you can only be the emperor as soon as possible, the vassals, form a separation, and appease people's hearts." ”
Now that people's hearts are in turmoil, Cao Cao has a bunch of troublesome things, if he continues to develop, I am afraid that Cao Cao will be abolished.
This incident dealt a big blow to Cao Cao.
"We must recruit civilian children as officials, otherwise we will no longer be able to compete with Zhang Yu." Cao Cao sighed.
Cao Cao was rectifying the territory in front, Cao Ren hurried to Xuchang, and Cao Cao's crisis was not completely over.
