Chapter 964
"Do you have any strategies to get rid of the enemy?"
In the Prime Minister's Mansion, there was only Cao Cao's voice, and no one answered Cao Cao.
Previously, Cao Cao was transferred to Guandu, Yanjin, Baima, and there were more than 100,000 people.
But in the end, less than 10,000 people returned to Xudu.
Now that Zhao Hui's army is attacking again, how can we resist?
Cao Cao has failed now, and there is no chance this time.
This time, Zhao Hui did not need to attack Xudu, but only needed to surround him. He was surrounded by a few months, and the food in Xudu would be cut off.
Guandu is a military city. There are no civilians in the city, and they are all soldiers.
In Xudu, there are hundreds of thousands of civilians in the city, and these people have to supply them from outside the city to eat, drink, defecate and urinate.
The food stored in the city is enough for the court ministers and soldiers to eat and drink for half a year.
But the people cannot do it, and there is not so much food in their homes.
In less than a month, the city will be in chaos.
Facing the pressure brought by Zhao Hui, even Cao Cao didn't know how to resist it now.
In the battle of Guandu, almost all the troops were lost, but the United States and Europe achieved Cao Cao's goal.
Zhao Hui still has 90,000 people in his hands now.
Moreover, Liao Hua, who has been in Taishan County, has already led an army of 50,000 toward Xudu.
Cao Cao's hands now have only 20,000 people. How can he fight?
Moreover, on the way to Xudu, there is no danger to defend, and the horse is flat.
Cao Cao couldn't even find a place to ambush Zhao Hui.
"It's apart."
Cao Cao didn't really want to know the solution from these people.
To give advice, he still has to rely on Xun You, Cheng Yu and others.
After the others retreated, Cao Cao called Xun You and others.
"Gongda, do you have a way?"
"Give up Xu Du." Xun You said.
"Give up Xu Du, where can I go?"
Cao Cao had thought that although Yuzhou is now his territory, if Zhao Hui wanted to deal with him, even if he went to Yuzhou, Zhao Hui could still chase him to Yuzhou.
And other places are now other people's territory.
Xuzhou, Lu Bu will not let him go.
In Jingzhou, Liu Biao would not agree.
Where can Cao Cao go?
Go to Kansai?
Although Ma Teng and Han Sui are leading the way there, in general, they are still a mess, and Cao Cao has a great chance.
But it will not be so easy for Kansai to fight for dominance in the future.
The land there is vast and sparsely populated, and the products are scarce. Even if Cao Cao hides in Guanxi for more than ten years, the gap in strength will only become bigger and bigger with Zhao Hui.
If Cao Cao went to Guanxi, with his ability, he would naturally gain a foothold and conquer those tribes of all sizes.
But if he wants to fight for the world and fight back to Guandong, he can only wait for Zhao Hui to give him a chance.
Only when the world changes will Cao Cao send troops from Guanxi.
Otherwise, he would have to stay in Kansai for the rest of his life, and he would have to be buried in Kansai even if he died.
This is Cao Cao's last choice.
Cao Cao would not choose this path unless he had no choice.
Xun You did not answer. He knew that Cao Cao knew clearly. He said it, just to see if Cao Cao would choose.
"If you don't give up Xu Du, you will have to fight with your back."
A battle with one's back is simple, but it's difficult to do.
If the general says he will fight with his back, the soldiers below will fight with his back.
Morale has not been condensed, and will only be destroyed by one blow.
Everyone needs to have a consistent belief.
There is no way out and it only makes it easier to achieve consistency in beliefs.
What's more, the Cao army in the city now has a way out.
At least the path to surrender has always existed.
As long as they surrender, they can at least be guaranteed to survive.
Zhao Hui had not done anything to kill prisoners, and most of them were sent to reclaim fields, build bridges and pave roads.
Therefore, it is difficult for Cao Cao to fight against the enemy.
Especially he has just fled back from Guanduo.
Now is the time for his lowest prestige.
The soldiers below trust him is no longer as strong as before.
"It's not easy to fight against the enemy." Cao Cao sighed.
Cheng Yu said: "Zhao Hui is still thousands of miles away. We designed an ambush for this thousand miles."
"Where is the ambush?"
It is very difficult to ambush Zhao Hui.
Cao Cao's previous several ambushings did not get any benefits.
Instead, he lost his troops and generals.
Cao Cao no longer has any hope for the ambush of Zhao Hui.
Let’s not talk about the fact that Zhao Jun did not have good ambush points along the way.
Even if there is, Zhao Hui's care will bypass these places, or send someone to investigate first, and will not enter easily.
If he wanted to ambush Zhao Hui successfully, Cao Cao felt that he still encouraged his soldiers and made them more likely to succeed in a battle against the enemy.
Xun Yu said: "These two are not sure. Now Zhao Hui is in a strong position. If you want to stop Zhao Hui, you can only join forces with Liu Biao and Sun Ce."
"Liu Biao, the fox, is already old and only cares about his one-acre and three-point land in Jingzhou. Sun Ce was attacked by an assassin and was still recuperating." Cheng Yu said.
Sun Ce was assassinated by an assassin, and Cheng Yu and others still don’t know that it was actually done by Cao Cao.
I don’t even know that Xi Zhicai is the General of the Central Army of Faqiu.
Xun You just realized that Cao Cao had trained a group of people, who might be digging ancient tombs to obtain gold and silver.
He did not directly ask Cao Cao about this.
He disagrees, but he cannot object.
Compared to giving up Xu Du and ambushing Zhao Hui. Although it is difficult to join forces with Liu Biao and Sun Ce, it is the most promising now.
"Who is willing to go to Jingzhou and Yangzhou?" Cao Cao asked.
"I'll go to Jingzhou." Zhong Yao said.
"Then I'll go to Yangzhou for a trip." Cui Yan asked.
Whether it is joining forces with Liu Biao or Sun Ce, it is the top priority now.
Only success is allowed but not failure.
People without confidence dare not recommend themselves and ask for help.
"This time, it depends on the ability of the two gentlemen."
Cao Cao was very satisfied with the abilities of Zhong Yao and Cui Yan.
If these two people don't work, even if he sends others, he may not be able to convince Liu Biao and Sun Ce.
Cao Cao asked Zhong Yao and Cui Yan to bring generous gifts to each other.
This time, they not only wanted to convince Liu Biao and Sun Ce, but also the advisers and generals under Liu Biao and Sun Ce.
Those people need to be convinced, and even those people are more important than those who persuade Liu Biao and Sun Ce.
If Zhong Yao could conquer the Cai brothers of Kuai in Jingzhou, he would not have to meet Liu Biao.
If Cui Yan could convince Zhang Zhao and Zhang Hong and Zhou Yu in Yangzhou, it would be equivalent to convince Sun Ce.
Zhong Yao and Cui Yan each brought a team of guards and went to Jingzhou and Yangzhou with countless treasures separately.
Cao Cao is short of troops now, but he has Xi Zhicai to dig an ancient tomb for him, and he still has a lot of gold, silver and treasures now.
The recruitment of recruits has not stopped.
But there are fewer and fewer people coming every day.
A hundred thousand troops followed Cao Cao out, and only a few thousand people came back.
Even if the new recruits are treated very well now, they can no longer tempt those people.
Those who could not survive had been recruited to the army before.
Those who are still at home can barely survive.
Unless Cao Cao begins to enlist in force.
