Chapter 672: Cao Cao’s complex mood (first update)

At this moment, Cao Cao felt as if he had lost his soul.

His face was pale and full of incredible expressions.

Cao Cao, a generation of heroes.

Even when Xu Huang was captured and Yu Jin was killed, he did not show such a loss of soul.

Because at that time, the situation was still facing him.

Although Xu Huang was captured, he held Zhou Yu's army for several months, which can be said to have completed the time he needed to rectify the army.

When Yu Jin was killed, although Kou Feng was strong, his foundation was peeling off. When the whale swallowed Jingchu in one go, it would be unstable behind him. The situation was still with him.

Only when Kou Feng had the opportunity to go outside the capital of Emperor Chen Bing, Cao Cao's mood became extremely bad.

But this is far from comparable to the content in Zang Ba's letter.

Li Dian died, and it was second. Jiangdong was gone so soon, Kou Fengzeng advanced to Yangzhou. This was how Cao Cao lost his composure this time.

Yangzhou, Jingzhou.

It can be said that these two largest states in the world are not rich in population, but have vast territory and unlimited development potential. The enemy was granted troops to attack Yuzhou and enriched Jingzhou.

The population of Jingzhou is as high as 2 million and hundreds of thousands. Yangzhou also has a population of millions.

So much population, such a vast area.

Jingzhou, Yangzhou. If Kou Feng wins them all, it will be a huge enemy. In addition, the situation will be different.

Jingchu, Yangzhou.

These two points cannot be used without Kou Feng.

Kou Feng was commander-in-chief Xu Shu, general of military advisor, and led more than 50,000 troops to Wancheng, Nanyang County, forming a situation that threatened Xu Du all the time.

It made Cao Cao feel like he was on his back, and he had to dispatch troops to repair the separated Yingchuan as a barrier. However, Yingchuan was also a flat horse.

Although I can resist, I will suffer a loss in the end.

Although Cao Cao was not worried, he was often worried. He was afraid that Xu Shu would be unstable with his army.

This point has already made Cao Cao very worried.

What if there is a second point?

Shouchun.

Let’s not talk about the hundreds of thousands of people in northern Yangzhou. If the enemy’s Feng was obtained, he could support tens of thousands of troops. The most important thing is Shouchun.

Shouchun is no longer Jiangdong.

Although Jiangdong has a natural barrier in the Yangtze River, its advantages are obvious. However, its disadvantages are also very obvious, that is, it is to stay away from the Central Plains. As long as it guards Shouchun, Jiangdong can only be in a corner.

But Shouchun is different.

If Kou Feng got Shouchun, he would only have a general in Shouchuntun.

The gang conferred military power in four parts, and he nominally commanded tens of thousands of troops. The second was Xu Shu, Pang Tong, and Huang Zhong. Now Xu Shu is in Wancheng, Nanyang, establishing a threat to Xu Du.

It can be said that he is a confidant inside, a powerful outside, and a stimulating enemy country. Of course, he should not be moved lightly.

Pang Tong has always been in the middle, defending Kou Feng's safety internally. He followed Kou Feng's battles outside and often served as the central army. Of course, it was impossible.

The rest is Huang Zhong.

Huang Zhong is a general.

Although his record is just to shoot Huang Zu with one arrow, he was able to gain the same status as Xu Shu and Pang Tong in Jingchu, where there were many generals.

As the main force in annexing the enemy country.

Cao Cao never dared to underestimate him.

If Huang Zhong leads tens of thousands of troops, he will be able to support one or two generals. If he retreats, he can defend Yangzhou without losing his life. If he advances, he can attack Xuzhou, Yuzhou, and Yanzhou.

With a city, the security of the three northern states is threatened.

On the contrary, Shouchun City is tall and surrounded by mountains, forests, cities and waters. It is a great place for defense.

Even if Cao Cao raised troops from the three states, hundreds of thousands of people might not be able to conquer Shouchun, which was guarded by a general.

Kou Feng got Shouchun, and he could retreat with one county to resist the forces of his three states, and he could attack the three states, forcing him to station troops to resist.

Shouchun, plus Wancheng.

If he lost this Shouchun, Cao Cao could almost foresee that he would live a worried life all day long.

"Save. Shouchun must be saved."

A huge threat, a complete change in the situation.

At this moment, Cao Cao made a decision in his heart.

"Come here, summon Cheng Yu, Xiahou Dun, Xun You, and come in." Cao Cao ordered to the attendant next to him.

Cao Cao's momentary loss of composure just now made the attendant who had just given the official documents sweat in a cold sweat. At this moment, it was like he was given an amnesty.

"No." He immediately responded to the promise and walked out quickly.

After the attendant left, Cao Cao took a breath and sat down again.

The military situation is urgent, and now there is no time to discuss it. This time, Cao Cao was arbitrary and directly wanted to summon Cheng Yu, Xun You and others to dispatch troops from Xuzhou and Yanzhou to provide resources to Shouchun.

Cheng Yu, Xun You and others have been in Xudu all year round, and have done nothing except as counselors. Now that the enemy is in front of him, Cao Cao wants to release them.

Cheng Yu is tough and courageous, and has extraordinary insights.

Xun You made all kinds of wise plans, almost everything was done.

The two of them, plus Xiahou Dun, Le Jin's power.

Cao Cao thought about it and was relieved. However, he hoped that the others would allocate various troops from Xuzhou and Yanzhou to Yangzhou after they entered Yangzhou.

Shouchun is still in his hands.

Just when Cao Cao's mood was slightly calm, but he had not completely calmed down.

Cheng Yu, Xiahou Dun, Xun You, and Le Jin walked in one after another.

Cheng Yu and Xun You all served as the nobles and nobles, and they came quickly. Xiahou Dun and Le Jin were in charge of military power, and they came slowly.

When the four of them arrived, they saw Cao Cao's face very solemn. They all kept their smiles and sat very seriously.

"Look at this." Cao Cao first spoke, and handed the bamboo slips on the table to the attendants next to him. The attendants respectfully took them over, and then circulated them to Xun You and others respectively.

Fortunately, Xun You, Cheng Yu, Xiahou Dun, Le Jin and others looked at him and felt as if they had seen a ghost. They were full of disbelief.

"Sun Quan of Jiangdong is really useless and even killed Mancheng." Le Jin and Li Dian had a good relationship. After seeing him, he couldn't help but shouted angrily.

"There are 60,000 troops in the Yuzhang city. Even if the 100,000 troops are in the city, Mancheng still has room for the border. With Mancheng's talent, it is impossible for Mancheng to fall into it and be stabbed to death on the spot. It must be that there was a change in Sun Quan in Jiangdong, which led to Zhou Tai, Quan Cong and others turning against each other when they were in the battle. Otherwise, it would be not. At this moment, it should be killed Sun He's sacrifice flag and welcomed the elite soldiers of the Central Plains into Shouchun to protect the safety of the southeast." Cheng Yu's eyes were cold, and he said fiercely and fiercely.

Sun He is Sun Quan's third son.

At the beginning, Sun Quan was afraid that Jiangdong would be in danger. He gave his third descendants, Sun He and Lujiang County to Cao Cao, and sought Li Dian. Now Sun Quan has lost Jiangdong, but instead has been appeased by Kou Feng.

Save off children.

This three descendants and grandson may be the only victim.

"Sun He should indeed be killed." Cao Cao was not soft-hearted, and nodded after hearing this. His voice was cold and his eyes were full of anger.

Sun Quan wanted to protect Jiangdong, but he patted his chest to ensure that he could cheer up Jiangdong. He sent Li Dian over there if it weren't for supporting Sun Quan.

With the defensive capabilities of the Shouchun area, it is definitely not a problem to defend against the enemy and enthrone the army of 100,000.

Why did you make a frustration to the embarrassing situation where you have the advantage of geographical advantages but have no troops? Shouchun's mistake was entirely blamed on Sun Quan. It is also appropriate to kill his son to vent his anger.

"It is necessary to kill Sun He and sacrifice the flag. It is even more important to increase troops in Shouchun. But the young general named Deng Ai should not be ignored." Xun You, who had never spoken, suddenly said.

Everyone, including Cao Cao, was attracted by Shouchun's crisis.

Only Xun You can see Zang Ba's words about Deng Ai in the official document.

"This man can stab Li Mancheng to death at the battle, and can also fight against Li Mancheng's fierce attack with an army of 10,000. You must know that our army should be eager to escape at that time, and it was the time to fight to death. But Deng Ai still led his people to resist. It can be seen that his army is not bad. Deng Ai must be good at managing the army. He led the troops to the battle and stabbed Li Dian to death. The most important thing is that this man is more than ten years old." Xun You sighed and said.

Cao Cao frowned when he heard this. He really didn't pay attention. Only after Xun You said this did he feel a deep chill.

Nowadays, there are only young generals over ten years old in Cao's army. Even young generals are very rare. It's not because there are few talents in the north.

It is because the military power in the army is controlled by veterans.

For example, Xu Huang, Yu Jin and others were in their prime, so there was no problem in their control of military power. Young generals had fewer opportunities to become famous.

And Deng Ai is only over ten years old and can stand alone. Although he doesn't know his generals, he has the ability to command troops in the face of the battle and manage troops.

When Li Dian was stabbed to death, it was already revealed.

This kid.

If you grow further, this person will definitely be a big concern.

If everything goes smoothly, you may not be able to live forty years. Forty years. Taking twenty years as one life is enough to have two lives.
