Cao Cao's face was so ugly, he deliberately wanted to suppress the war, but he didn't expect to be openly picked out by the emperor in the court.

Suddenly, the hundreds of officials in the court and the ministers of civil and military affairs were shocked.

"The prime minister has ordered all the troops to lay a tight defense line on the south bank of the Yellow River, Yuan Shao forcibly crossed the Yellow River, intending to attack Xudu, but it is against the sky, which is not tolerated by heaven and earth, as long as the emperor authorizes the prime minister to act with full authority, the prime minister will be able to repel the invading enemy within three days, and drive Yuan Shao back to the north bank of the Yellow River."

Cao Cao saw that the civil and military officials were talking in a low voice, frowned, and asked for instructions in a deep voice.

Yuan Shao's attack on Cao Cao was the greatest, and his main goal was also to annihilate Cao Cao's forces.

As for the civil and military officials, as long as they can see the situation clearly and stand in line when the overall situation is about to be decided, whether it is Yuan Shaosheng or he Cao Caosheng, the civil and military officials will still be their officials, and there will be no further impact.

Even the emperor will not be in any danger, if Yuan Shao captures Xudu, he will definitely follow Cao Cao's example and coerce the Son of Heaven to order the princes, and the emperor will become a puppet at most, and will not be deposed.

Therefore, what Cao Cao wanted at this time was to stabilize the situation, appease the people, and not add to the internal strife under the pressure of foreign enemies.

He wanted to create an atmosphere that Yuan Shao would lose this battle and he would win, so as to prevent hundreds of officials from secretly communicating with Yuan Shao.

Liu Xie sat on the dragon chair and heard what Cao Cao said, but he just smiled and did not speak.

How could he not understand Cao Cao's thoughts, turned his head to look at Leng Shouguang, and glanced at him.

Leng Shouguang immediately understood, stared at Cao Cao, and snorted coldly, "Repel the incoming enemy within three days?" Prime Minister Cao, I'm afraid it's not that simple, right? ”

As he spoke, Leng Shouguang took out a stack of posters from his sleeve and threw them in front of Cao Cao with a "snap".

"These are all war reports passed back from the front line, and the Xichang Yudu saw that the prime minister was busy with official business, and he was afraid that he would not have time to deal with it, so he took them all back and submitted them to the emperor for processing."

"These battle reports are all requests for reinforcements, all the ferries of the Yellow River have been fiercely attacked by Yuan Shao, and the defense line laid by the prime minister has collapsed in just a thought!"

Leng Shouguang seemed to say it lightly, but Cao Cao was in a cold sweat when he heard it, and anger flashed in his eyes.

It is no wonder that since the beginning of the battle on the front line last night, he has only received one battle report, which makes Cao Cao mistakenly think that the front line has resisted Yuan Shao's attack, and the two sides are currently in a stalemate, which is also the confidence for him to dare to say that he will repel Yuan Shao within three days.

Unexpectedly, the front line was about to collapse, but the battle report was intercepted by the emperor.

However, Cao Cao didn't have a word yet, so he could only knock out his teeth and swallow it secretly in his stomach.

"Prime Minister Cao, why did you hide the battle situation and not report it? Are you going to put my big man in danger! ”

"If it weren't for the emperor's sage, he intercepted the battle situation on the front line in advance, I'm afraid that we would still be kept in the dark by Prime Minister Cao Cheng!"

"The three states of Qingyan and Henan all rely on the Yellow River as a barrier to block Yuan Shao, if the Yellow River defense line is broken, Xu is in danger!"

The civil and military officials of the court immediately changed their faces greatly, and they all criticized Cao Cao bitterly.

Mainly the relics of the Han Dynasty and the grass on the wall of the wall.

And Cao Cao's henchmen, seeing that the prime minister had become the target of public criticism, were naturally dissatisfied and fought back.

The court became a mess, and the two sides fell into a war of curses.

…………

Hakubadu.

The chief strategist Guo Jia sits in the military tent.

Since Yan Liang led 5,000 light horsemen to cross the river and almost broke the defenders' camp, Cao Cao deliberately strengthened the defense line of Baimadu, and appointed Guo Jia to come to the town in person as soon as the war began.

In the tent of the Chinese army, all the people sitting are the generals of the Qingzhou soldiers.

"How's the war going on the front? How many men and horses did Yuan Jun cross the river and land? ”

Guo Jia shook the feather fan lightly, looking calm.

"Qiqi Military Division, according to your deployment, our army deliberately opened a gap and let the vanguard of the Yuan army 20,000 horses cross the river and land on the shore, only waiting for all the 20,000 people to land, and then they will be combined and besieged."

Under Guo Jia's right hand, a general said loudly.

Hearing this, Guo Jia nodded, it seems that everything is still under control.

This move can be described as dangerous, if the 20,000 vanguard troops of the Yuan army can be wiped out, the blow to Yuan Shao will definitely be shocking, maybe the victory or defeat of this battle can be reversed.

Guo Jia's eyes were shining, and he was waiting for another order.

Suddenly, a loud bang came, as if the sky was thundering, shaking the heavens and the earth, and the ground on both sides of the Yellow River was even trembling slightly.

"What happened?"

Guo Jia looked startled, and hurriedly walked out of the Chinese military tent.

Outside the big tent, there was already a panic, and the generals and soldiers were all restless.

Outside the barracks, the resounding sound became even more obvious, and even the water of the Yellow River was surging by the rolling sound waves, frantically lapping against the bank wall.

Guo Jia looked at this scene, and a sense of foreboding faintly rose in his heart, but for a while, he didn't know what happened.

Hakumado is located in the plains, and there has been no bad weather such as strong winds and rains recently, so it stands to reason that there will be no disasters.

Guo Jia looked up at the sky, his brows furrowed.

What is this earth-shattering sound?

For some reason, Guo Jia listened and listened, and suddenly felt that this loud voice was familiar, as if he had heard it somewhere.

War drums, screaming, whistling......

Guo Jia closed his eyes and listened attentively, and gradually, from the loud voice, he caught a trace of familiar frequency.

"Military intelligence! Military! ”

"One hundred thousand urgent!"

A herald galloped on horseback, with a frightened look on his face, and his neighing voice was hoarse, and when he came to Guo Jia, he fell directly from the horse, his legs and feet were weak, and he didn't even have the strength to stand up.

"Hurry up!"

Guo Jia hurriedly ordered his entourage to help him up.

"Military division, north of Baimadu, a large number of Wuhuan iron cavalry suddenly appeared, and Wuhuan Dadan led 200,000 elite soldiers in Bandun, which was already approaching the north bank of the Yellow River."

"In less than half an hour, the Wuhuan elite soldiers and iron cavalry will arrive at the crossing of the Yellow River, ready to go!"

"Once the defense line of Baimadu is broken, 200,000 iron horsemen will immediately attack Xudu!!"

As soon as the herald's words fell, Guo Jia's face changed suddenly!

The distance of Baimadu is less than 300 miles, once the defense line of Baimadu is broken, the Wuhuan iron cavalry will inevitably take advantage of the situation to cross the river, but I am afraid that less than a day, 200,000 Wuhuan iron cavalry generals will come to Xudu.

The most important thing is that in order to annihilate Yuan Shao's forces as much as possible, he has just ordered to let the other party's 20,000 vanguard troops cross the river.

For the first time, Guo Jia felt trembling in his heart, and his limbs were cold.

Although he sits in Baimadu, in fact, the entire Yellow River defense line is in charge of him!

Yuan Shao actually invited the Wuhuan army to break the Yellow River, once Yuan Shao and the Wuhuan coalition army were allowed to come to Xudu, then everything would be gone! Including the Prime Minister!

Even if he Guo Jia is a hundred deaths, it will be difficult to resist the cultivation and high hopes of the prime minister!

Even if you are broken today, you have to block the coalition army of Yuan Shao and Wuhuan Iron Cavalry!

Guo Jia's eyes were cold, and he was ruthless.
