Chapter 1070: Forcing Cao Cao

It's right to be afraid, Zhang Yu is not intimidating Cao Cao, but he also needs to let Cao Cao know that he made a mistake in the arrangement.

After Cao Cao went back, he believed Zhang Yu's words to a large extent.

Here, his high-ranking civil and military officials gathered. Although there were quite a few 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 was very suitable.

But their communication was cut off, and they couldn't keep abreast of the outside situation. If they "have an accident" at this time, the inside may really be chaotic.

What scares Cao Cao is that he should really appoint a successor.

Although everyone knows that Cao Cao has designated Cao Ang as his successor, it has not been officially announced after all.

So, if Cao Pi has ambitions?

Cao Cao also thought of a terrible scene, that is, if Cao Ang wants to eradicate the threat, it is not impossible to kill several of his younger brothers.

All kinds of terrible things made Cao Cao restless.

He summoned Cheng Yu and Jia Xu.

"How much truth is there in what Zhang Yu said today?" Cao Cao asked.

Jia Xu said: "80% of the truth is true, the most likely is that the eldest son and the second son had a conflict, and the Xun family suffered."

Cao Cao felt uncomfortable. His sons were all very capable, especially Cao Ang, who was deeply loved and relied on by him, but this time something like this happened unexpectedly.

"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 it would take less than a layer of skin to rush out.

Zhang Yu naturally let Cao Cao and the others go out simply. He had already laid out ambushes in several directions.

If Cao Cao doesn't go out, the whole territory will be in danger of civil strife.

Cao Cao didn't seem to have much choice.

This mistake was due to the fact that the person who was in charge of the major affairs of the territory did not explain well, and someone with authority from the Cao family or Xiahou family was needed to sit in charge.

result,

He didn't expect that Zhang Yu would use a crazy strategy to surround them.

In this way, Cao Cao fell into a very difficult situation.

"Giving up Shouchun City, it will not be easy to block Zhang Yu again," Cao Cao said.

Originally, even if Zhang Yu surrounded the city, it didn't matter. After a year of siege, Zhang Yu's territory might not be able to bear it.

But now it's Cao Cao who can't take it anymore.

Cao Cao is considering gains and losses.

In Zhang Yu's barracks, the soldiers are actively preparing for battle.

Cao Cao is still considering.

But Zhang Yu was determined by Cao Cao.

"I have areas such as Luoyang and Chang'an, 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 power will collapse in a short period of time. Just like the Yuan family, several brothers fighting for power can easily be defeated one by one.

At this time, Cao Cao made a great determination to give up a large area of ​​land.

If you give up Shouchun, many places will not be able to hold it.

Cao Cao called some of his confidants.

"The situation has changed. Shouchun can no longer defend and must break through."

None of the generals had any objections, and they all listened to Cao Cao.

So, Cao Cao and the others began to arrange.

"Zhang Yu must have set up a lot of ambushes outside the city. Although the trench has only been filled in one place, we can actually break through in four directions. Zhang Yu also understands this truth. Our army of more than 200,000 troops is even stronger than that of the city. leading."

Cao Cao's analysis is not unreasonable, Zhang Yu does not have enough troops.

He ambushed soldiers and horses in four directions, because he had no way of judging where Cao Cao broke through.

There are many disadvantages in doing this, but he doesn't care about 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.

A few days later, one night, Cao Cao suddenly rushed out with his army.

Zhang Yu's army immediately encircled them.

But Cao Cao has a strong army, and Xu Chu, Cao Ren, and Zhang Xiu are in the vanguard, and their combat power is very strong.

They just ran into Zhao Yun's ambush circle.

Zhao Yun made way for them, and then intercepted some soldiers and horses.

The light cavalry led by Zhao Yun could not stop this mighty army.

Zhao Yun gave way, and after that, several large armies surrounded and intercepted some of Cao Cao's troops.

Cao Cao concentrated all the elite soldiers in the forward and central army, and did not arrange many people to cut off the rear, because they had many soldiers and horses and were strong, and Cao Cao did not believe that Zhang Yu could stop them.

Successfully broke out, but this also means that Cao Cao gave up Shouchun.

After taking Shouchun, Zhang Yu's army will be stationed in Shouchun.

Cao Cao's departure did not destroy Shouchun City, and even the warehouses inside were 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 to clean up.

If you do this, Zhang Yu can quickly win people's hearts. When Cao Cao broke through, he didn't dare to delay at all, so he hurried to find out the reason.

After some investigation, Cao Cao was very angry, and the incident turned out to be caused by Cao Pi.

It was a good strategy for Cao Ang to let Cao Pi sit in Xuchang, but Cao Pi did such a thing.

Cao Cao was not even that angry when Lu'an City was lost and a large area of ​​land was lost.

Cao Cao summoned several of his confidants.

"Cao Ren, I order you to lead 30,000 troops to Xuchang immediately, 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 abolished." After giving the order, Cao Cao sighed helplessly in his heart.

The Xun family, whether wronged or not, can no longer be used.

He wants to support Cao Ang. If someone attacks Cao Ang through the affairs of the Xun family, then this Cao Ang can no longer use the Xun family in the future, lest Cao Ang be attacked by others again.

Cao Cao made some arrangements and sent several generals to stabilize the situation first.

Cao Cao was out of trouble, and many rumors naturally stopped.

But the territory that has been lost will not come back.

What scared Cao Cao was that a large number of aristocratic families fled.

With Yuan Shao as a negative teaching material, once Cao Cao collapsed suddenly, these aristocratic families would be slaughtered. If something happened to Cao Cao and the two sons competed, the Cao family would surely decline soon.

Cao Cao called Jia Xu and Cheng Yu over.

"Mr. Wenhe, I want you to help Ang'er." Cao Cao asked.

Jia Xu bowed, and then said: "Of course my subordinates are willing."

Cao Cao wanted to abolish Xun You. I have to say that Xun You is a talent.

But the Xun family can no longer use it no matter whether there is a problem or not.

Cheng Yu on the side said: "My lord, up to now, you can only become emperor as soon as possible, enfeoff all the officials, form a separate regime, and appease people's hearts."

Now that the hearts of the people are in turmoil, Cao Cao's troublesome things, if they continue to develop, I am afraid that Cao Cao will be abolished.

This incident dealt a great blow to Cao Cao.

"You must recruit the children of common people to be officials, otherwise you will not be able to compete with Zhang Yu." Cao Cao sighed.

Cao Cao rectified the territory ahead, and Cao Ren hurried to Xuchang. Cao Cao's crisis was not completely over.
