Luoyang, Cao Cao was in camp.

"What? Dare you!" Cao Cao was extremely angry after hearing the news of Zhang Miao's betrayal. Seeing that his plan was about to succeed, he did not expect that Zhang Miao and Chen Gong planned to rebel. What was particularly hateful is that after hearing that Zhang Miao and Chen Gong rebelled, the counties and counties actually surrendered. At this time, Taishan County also surrendered by the general Zang Ba under Tao Qian's command, chose to surrender to Xuzhou. In just a few days, there were only Shanyang, Jiyin and Juan County of Dong County, and Dong'a County, which were left in Yanzhou, because the guards of Shanyang and Jiyin were Cao Ren, who was good at defending, and the guards of Juan County and Donga were resourceful Cheng Yu. The attacks of the rebels were difficult to work, so they could barely support them, but if there was no rescue, they would sooner or later fail because of the food and grass issues.

Now tens of thousands of troops and confidant advisers, the generals are eager for Cao Cao to go to rescue him.

Although Cao Cao was furious, it was useless. He originally thought that Zhang Miao and Chen Gong were both reliable people, but he did not expect that they chose to betray him and brought such heavy losses to him. In desperation, he had to summon Guo Jia, Xun Yu and others to discuss a solution.

In fact, Guo Jia and Xun Yu are also very troubled now. I didn’t expect that new changes would occur in the matter that was originally conspired. A fire broke out in one’s backyard, and Zhang Miao and Chen Gong, who had always been reliable, suddenly rebelled. This was really unexpected.

Guo Jia even thought about the cause and effect of the matter carefully. The more he thought about it, the more he felt a cold sweat behind him, because it seemed that many things were not connected, but if he thought about it carefully, he could find that there was definitely someone behind him who was manipulating or adding fuel to the fire.

"The setting of the Jinshi Captain is that while being killed, it seems isolated from Chen Gong and Zhang Miao's rebellion, but if you think about it carefully, they do have an inseparable connection. It is because of Jack who knows these things that they ask the lord. It is because of Jack who was killed that Chen Gong and Zhang Miao rebelled. But these things are almost all secrets. Why can you know it? Even if you were killed, it will take several days for this news to be transmitted from Luoyang to Chenliu? If such a thing was not deliberately spread, how could it be spread to Chenliu so quickly? So Jia believes that there must be someone behind this."

"This must be related to those who spread rumors. I will order the rumor to be thoroughly investigated, captured, and interrogate the mastermind behind it." After hearing this, Cao Cao immediately ordered to thoroughly investigate the rumors who were spreading rumors near his residence. It would rather be ruthless than to be surrendered, and he must be captured alive.

Guo Jia smiled bitterly and said, "Since the other party was prepared, he must have retreated after the matter was over. It may be futile for us to investigate. However, Jia had an intuitive judgment that this matter must be related to Pei Qing, because this matter is most beneficial to Pei Qing and is what he is most happy to see."

"But the plan of lord's gold-touching was proposed by Cheng Zhongde, and for the sake of confidentiality, no one told him, how did Bian Rang know? We should say that Cheng Zhongde was doing it in detail, which is impossible, because Cheng Zhongde is fighting the rebels in Dongjun, so who did reveal the news among us?" Xun Yu first raised the question. Although he did not agree with Cao Cao's approach in his heart, he was not a pedantic person after all. Cao Cao's purpose was to rescue the emperor. The so-called great things are not limited to trivial matters, so he could barely accept this approach. Now that there is something wrong with our group, of course, we must do our best to think about the countermeasures and find out the detailed work behind the scenes.

However, Cao Cao shook his hand and said, "If you do things carefully, you will be able to investigate slowly. In fact, I don't believe that there will be careful work among us. Perhaps the secret was leaked accidentally. The most important thing for us now is to discuss a solution, whether we urgently need to protect Luoyang or take back Yanzhou immediately."

At this time, Mao Jie said: "Preserving Luoyang is the key link for us to welcome the emperor now. If we retreat now, it would be like walking a hundred miles and a half ninety years old. All the previous efforts were wasted, so the officials believed that we should protect Luoyang."

But Man Chong said, "Otherwise, Yanzhou is our foundation. Without Yanzhou, we will be unable to fight the attacks of the surrounding heroes with the ruined land of Luoyang. In this way, we can only sit back and see the rebels become bigger, and will also let General Zixiao and Cheng Zhongde fall into the thief. At that time, the rebels will join forces with the power of Yanzhou to join Pei Qing and other forces, so where can we have a foothold? Therefore, the officials believe that we should take back Yanzhou immediately. On the one hand, we will teach and punish the thieves, and on the other hand, we will also restore our hometown and restore our military power."

"But in this way we missed the best time to welcome the emperor. In this way, we would be in vain. It is not only a laughing stock, but also a bad idea for our subsequent development." Staff Ren Jun shook his head and said with a wry smile.

Cao Cao was also hesitant and asked Xun Yu: "Wenruo, I wonder what you think?"

Xun Yu thought for a moment and said, "Yanzhou is our fundamental important place, and it is impossible to sit idly by. If we ignore it, the thieves' arrogance will become more and more arrogant. When we go to Chang'an, they will enter Luoyang. Moreover, there are loyal and brave men in Yanzhou who are brave enough to fight against the enemy. If we don't care, it will make Yanzhou completely fall into the hands of the thieves. Therefore, we must make the troops to Yanzhou. We don't need to consider this at all, but leading troops to the king is the most profitable thing, and we must never give up. So Yu means that we cannot give up on both sides and we must find a way to defend Luoyang. As long as Luoyang is still there, the emperor will always have a time to return home. However, now we must also focus on Yanzhou. As for Luoyang, we can only use a few troops to defend it with danger. When the thieves collapse, we will send a brigade of partial troops to Chang'an to see the emperor."

After hearing this, Cao Cao thought for a while, then asked Guo Jia: "Fengxiao, how do you think?"

Guo Jia nodded and said, "The officials fully agree with Mr. Wen Ruo's point of view. We must have such a method of two-dimensionality. This is our best choice now. However, the rebels are powerful and we must pay attention to it now. Therefore, we can only station ourselves in Luoyang with a small number of troops. The lord personally led a large army to fight against the rebels. This also has another advantage. The Xiliang army will definitely not care about our few soldiers, so we will definitely concentrate the main force against Pei Qing. After the previous melee, although it was damaged, the main force still exists. In this case, the battle between the two sides will definitely last for a long time. If we are lucky, it is impossible for Pei Qing and the Xiliang army to end after the Yanzhou rebellion. In this way, the general who stays in Luoyang is particularly important. He must be a loyal, wise and brave, and good at defending."
