The chaos in Chang'an is no longer a matter of one or two days.

Cao Cao, who was in Luoyang, also received the news.

Some staff suggested that he immediately send troops to guard Chang'an, which was the last place they retreated.

Cao Cao was already seriously ill, but at this time, the state affairs were critical, and his son was in danger in Wancheng.

Cao Cao summoned several of his staff.

"Ladies and gentlemen, what do you think about the state affairs now?"

Cheng Yu, Jia Xu, Xu You, Man Pang, and several other staff members all fell into deep thought.

Man Pang got up and said: "Your Majesty, you should send troops to guard Chang'an, now Chang'an is unstable, which will affect the morale of the soldiers in front." ”

This is a very serious problem, and Cao Cao has thought about it several times.

He didn't agree right away, and the expression on his face changed a few times.

"Ahem, cough~" Cao Cao coughed a few times, and then said, "Everyone, what else do you think." ”

Several others were silent.

"That's fine." Cao Cao sighed, understanding everyone's thoughts very well.

"Chang'an, let it develop, these families don't dare to rebel."

It's not that Cao Cao doesn't understand that chaos in Chang'an will affect morale.

It's just that now they can't send troops to Chang'an.

There was already a shortage of soldiers and horses on the front line, and if Luoyang fell, what was the use of keeping Chang'an.

If the Tiger Prison is broken, Luoyang is broken, or Wancheng is broken, then the Cao Cao Group may collapse in an instant.

Even if their soldiers and horses retreated to Chang'an, they would only survive.

Even if he couldn't breathe for long, Zhang Yu would inevitably lead the army to attack Chang'an immediately.

Therefore, Cao Cao could not send troops to defend Chang'an, and he had to let Chang'an be uneasy.

Chang'an, of course, Cao Cao will not completely ignore it, but he will not send many soldiers and horses to take care of it.

He planned to send 20,000 people to garrison, and it was also a second-line army.

It turned out that there were more than 10,000 troops in Chang'an City, so Cao Cao sent more people over.

There is no way, Zhang Yu has been besieged on three sides, and he doesn't have many troops in his hands.

"In this battle, we have no way to retreat, this Chang'an is not our retreat, once we retreat to Chang'an, it will not take three months, we will die." Cao Cao said to everyone.

This is not pessimism, but fact.

When they retreated to Chang'an, the morale of the army and the people would collapse instantly, and they didn't even need Zhang Yu to send an army to attack, they would be in chaos on their own.

At this time, not only Chang'an, but also Luoyang was not at peace.

I don't know how many people have a different idea.

This is perfectly normal.

Now it's too obvious, the general trend is like this, and Cao Cao can't hold on for long.

Cao Cao's advisers, after the discussion, went back separately.

"Alas, the old man was first in Yuan Benchu, and then Cao Cao was here, and they both made great contributions, but these two people are decaying goods, both are short-lived ghosts, and the old man's life is hard." On the way back, Xu Yu thought.

This is greedy for money and life, and works for his own interests.

But now that the people he was attached to were falling, he was very irritated.

Xu You is very smart, Cao Cao can divide one side before, and he can accept it, so he actively offers advice to Cao Cao.

Xu You is very smart, and his ideas are good.

But now, he understands very clearly that it is only a matter of time before Zhang Yu defeats Cao Cao.

The difference in national strength is several times, and it is no longer a level at all.

"How should it be? With my friendship with Zhang Yu, I still couldn't get him to open up to me. Xu You said self-knowingly.

When he came to Cao Cao, he also came with a letter of surrender.

Now, without a vote, how could he let Zhang Yu make an exception for him?

At this moment, he didn't have anything to use to cast his name.

Xu You was extremely irritable, and after returning home, he was locked in the house alone.

"God is going to kill me."

Xu You actually couldn't let go of his huge family property, he made a lot of money in Yuan Shao, and he had a lot of family property, but after Zhang Yu called, he had to abandon a lot of it.

A large number of real estate and land properties were directly confiscated by Zhang Yu.

Now he still has a lot of family property, some of which he brought out at the beginning, and later made a lot of money with his ability.

Nowadays, although many of them have been exchanged for silver tickets, most of them are still land and real estate.

At the beginning, Luoyang was stable, and Xu You bought a lot of family property, but now it is almost gone.

He was very unwilling.

Not only him, but many families also have this idea.

Many families have moved several times, and the huge family at the beginning has not saved one out of ten properties now, and if Zhang Yu calls, they will continue to lose seventy percent, which makes them too uncomfortable.

It's uncomfortable, but what can be done.

"If you persuade Meng De to ask Ma Teng to help Liu Bei fight, maybe there is still a chance, or let Ma Teng sneak attack Meng De and give Zhang Yu a name?" Xu You suddenly had a crazy idea.

It was not difficult to persuade Ma Teng to fight Cao Cao.

It's just that it may not do him any good.

Zhang Yu and Cao Cao are both smart people, and he can't control all this.

Xu Yu hesitated.

It's too hard.

Let him defect to Zhang Yu, if he can do it, he will do it at this time, but he has no chance at all.

"This matter is difficult, in a few months, this Zhang Yu will be killed." Xu Yu thought.

Ma Teng and Cao Cao have always been able to get along peacefully, but it is actually very simple, all because of Zhang Yu.

Ma Teng's strength was not as good as Cao Cao's, so he naturally didn't dare to take the initiative to attack.

And Cao Cao didn't dare to attack Ma Teng, if he couldn't eliminate Ma Teng at once, when Zhang Yu called, Ma Teng would definitely sneak attack his rear, so Cao Cao never moved him.

Now, the balance between the two sides is about to be broken.

Xu You couldn't think of a way in the end, and stayed in the study in vain until midnight.

It was not only Xu Yu who couldn't sleep, but Cao Cao couldn't sleep.

Cao Cao can be described as internal and external troubles.

And the internal worries are still very serious.

Internal worries, not only is Chang'an unstable, but even the families in Luoyang are very scared and want to escape.

Outside the Tiger Prison, Gao Shun is already preparing.

Zhou Yu had already taken the fleet on the Yellow River and approached Luoyang.

In Jizhou, Shangdang and other places, the army is also ready.

None of the three sides of the place can be easily handled.

Cao Cao knew that the situation was very bad, and he might not be able to hold it this time.

The difference in national strength is too far, and if he holds it this time, Zhang Yu can also kill it quickly.

He had already sent someone to find Liu Bei and ask Liu Bei for support.

But there is a lesson from the past, his 100,000 army went to support Xiangyang, but it was directly swallowed, so Cao Cao had no confidence in whether he could let Liu Bei support.

What Cao Cao didn't know was that inside Ma Teng, two voices were fighting.

"Father, give the child 30,000 troops, and the child can go and take Chang'an."

"In the past, we were afraid of that Cao Cao, but now that Cao Cao is besieged, there is nothing to be afraid of."

Ma Chao went to Ma Teng and asked to attack Chang'an.

Ma Teng actually coveted Chang'an for a long time, but he didn't dare to fight before, and other people had two or three times as many soldiers and horses as him, so if he did, he would cause big trouble.

Now, Cao Cao is very dangerous and may be defeated at any time.
