The generals on the left and right were all dejected and burst into tears.

Cao Cao gave up hope, and those of them who were subordinates had no reason to hold on any longer, and their spiritual will naturally collapsed.

"Lord, now is not the time to give up!"

In the midst of a sluggish atmosphere, a determined voice suddenly sounded.

It's Xun Yu.

Cao Cao didn't have much shock, but said with a bitter face: "Wen Ruo, now that the matter is now, I am desperate, how can I have any chance." ”

He was really desperate.

In the first few defeats, he still has room to retreat, so he is still qualified to comfort himself.

Now, even the last fortress, Duchangcheng, has been breached, and Gaotang, the only one connecting Jizhou, has also been captured by Zhang Liao, and even the opportunity to flee to Yuan Shao has been cut off.

At this point, even Xun Yu couldn't give him the courage to regain his confidence.

Xun Yu said: "For today's plan, Jizhou has no way to defect, we can only take the last road and quickly retreat to the easternmost Donglai County." ”

Dongnae County?

Cao Cao was still not much moved, and continued to say with a bitter face: "Donglai County is surrounded by water on three sides, and the land is narrow and the people are few, even if we flee there, there are no soldiers and no food, what can we do to resist the Su thieves, and in the end it is not difficult to escape death." ”

Xun Yu smiled: "The lord is wrong, we went to Donglai County, just to go to Liaodong by sea." ”

Liaodong!

Cao Cao's bitter face finally had a trace of waves, and he seemed to understand something.

Xun Yu said unhurriedly: "Although Liaodong was a bitter cold place in the early years, in recent decades, in order to escape the war, there are no less than one million people in the Central Plains who have fled to Liaodong, in fact, Liaodong is already a big state comparable to Jizhou. ”

"That Liaodong is too guarded by Gongsun Du, although he has some ability, but in the end he is a mediocre person, if we suddenly land in Liaodong from the sea, we will be able to kill him by surprise, sweep away Gongsun Du in one go, and seize the entire Liaodong."

"At that time, the lord can rely on Liaodong's millions of Dingkou to regroup, and when Yuan Shao and Su Zhe are defeated in the Central Plains, he will lead the Liaodong Iron Cavalry to take Youzhou directly, why can't he sweep Hebei!"

"Then, it is the time for the lord to ride across the Yellow River, sweep away Su Zhe, the traitor, support the Han family, and take revenge!"

The despair in Cao Cao's eyes was gradually disappearing, and in its place was a gradually igniting color of hope.

He finally regained his confidence.

"Liaodong, Gongsun Du, Liaodong, Gongsun Du ......"

Cao Cao clenched his fists, reciting these two words over and over again in his mouth, and thoughts were surging in his sunken eyes.

The strategists and generals on the left and right were also excited.

Guo Jia coughed and said: "My lord, what Wen Ruo said, is indeed a desperate strategy, although this plan is dangerous, but if it can be successful, the harvest is unimaginable." ”

Xiahou Yuan also said proudly: "That Gongsun Du is just a rat who guards a corner of himself, what can he do, as long as I set foot in Liaodong, within three months, I will cut off his dog's head!" ”

In an impassioned voice, Cheng Yu said: "This plan is a clever plan, but if we want to cross the Bohai Sea in Liaodong, we must have enough sea boats, in this hurry, where can we build so many ships, even if we temporarily requisition fishing boats, it will be too late." ”

Cao Cao's heart was shocked, Cheng Yu's scruples reminded him, and he looked at Xun Yu anxiously.

Xun Yu smiled faintly: "The lord doesn't have to worry, when Yu stayed in Qingzhou before, he was worried about the current situation, so he began to mobilize sea ships in Weishan Port in Donglai County a few months in advance, and there must be enough ships for us to cross the sea and expedition to Liaodong at this moment." ”

Cao Cao was overjoyed, hugged Xun Yu, and said excitedly: "Wen Ruo, Wen Ruo, you are really the most far-sighted, you really saved all of us!" ”

Xun Yu smiled helplessly: "I'd rather my vision be superfluous, but I didn't expect that it could not be avoided after all, lord, without further ado, quickly abandon Duchang and retreat to Weishan Port." ”

Cao Cao dared to hesitate for the slightest, and immediately ordered the whole army to stop resisting, immediately abandoned Duchang, and retreated from the east gate to Donglai County, the easternmost part of Qingzhou.

Cao's army was defeated and retreated, and the Soviet army encountered almost no decent resistance, and successfully occupied Duchang City.

At dusk.

Su Zhe was already standing in the lobby of Cao Cao's state capital, looking at the mess of cups and plates everywhere, imagining Cao Cao's panic when he learned that the south gate had collapsed.

Footsteps sounded, Gao Shun rushed over, and arched his hand: "My lord, Cao Cao has led thousands of remnants of the defeated army to flee from the East Gate, and it seems that he has fled in the direction of Donglai County." ”

Dongnae County?

Su Zhe's expression moved slightly, slightly surprised, he originally thought that Cao Cao would choose to break the cauldron and flee from the West Gate, desperately going to capture the Gaotang that Zhang Liao had captured, so as to flee to Hebei to attach Yuan Shao, but he didn't expect Cao Cao to flee in the opposite east, which made him a little unexpected.

"Donglai County is surrounded by the sea on three sides, Cao Cao's escape there is tantamount to escaping to a desperate situation, is he driven crazy?" Huangfu Song sneered.

Su Zhe was not as optimistic as him, and ordered his soldiers to bring the map.

The map was spread out, and he looked all the way to Donglai County, and after a few glances, his gaze suddenly crossed the not very long and vast bay and landed on Liaodong County.

Suddenly realized.

He frowned, and sneered: "Cao Cao is worthy of Cao Cao, he just walked out of a dead end, and he actually wanted to go on an expedition to Liaodong from the sea, I have to say, this trick is really whimsical, and it tastes very good for me." ”

Huangfu Song suddenly realized, and couldn't help but exclaim: "This Cao Cao is really bold, crossing the sea to expedition to Liaodong, this is something that has never happened since ancient times, and the danger is endless!" ”

Su Zhe said lightly: "Cao Cao is a person who likes to take risks, not to mention, for a person who has been cornered, even if there is a glimmer of life, what reason does he have not to try." ”

After saying that, Su Zhe flicked his hands and shouted: "Pass the order, tell the soldiers to work harder, and immediately set off to pursue Cao Cao, and be sure to catch him up with me before he goes to sea." ”

When the order was passed, Su Zhe didn't have time to rest for a while, so he immediately turned over and got into the red rabbit and went straight to the east gate.

He knew very well that the land of Liaodong had a population of one million and was rich in war horses, which was not worth mentioning in the hands of Gong Liaodu, but if it fell into the hands of Cao Cao, it would become a big disaster in the future.

He had to do everything possible to prevent Cao Cao from going to sea.

That night, tens of thousands of victorious Soviet soldiers pursued in the direction of Donglai County in the starry night.

……

The sea surface southeast of Qingzhou.

An army of hundreds of large and small warships is heading north along the coastline.

On the huge flagship of the building ship, a big flag with the word "Sun" flew dazzlingly.

Sun Ce stood with his sword in his hand, looking proudly ahead, his eyes revealing a certain excitement.

Xu Shu, who was dressed in Confucian clothes, stood beside him with a calm expression.

The rising sun illuminated Sun Ce's heroic face.

He couldn't help but point to the continent in front of him, and sneered: "Yuan Zhi, although you don't have the name of Nine Wonders, you have the wisdom of Nine Wonders, Su Zhe would never have thought that I would give him a praying mantis cicada from the sea, and the yellow finch will follow!" ”

Xu Shu said lightly: "A wise man has a thousand thoughts, there must be a mistake, even if he is the head of the Nine Wonders, he is flesh and blood after all, as long as he is a human being, there will be times of negligence." ”

"It's a pity that he only neglected this once, and all the legends before him will be gone!"

Sun Ce sneered, waved his hand and shouted: "Order all ships, set sail and speed up, destroy Su Zhe, and the entire Central Plains will be ours!" ”
