…
Cao Cao, who was able to escape and ascend to heaven by cutting off the fire in advance, turned his head to look in the direction of Nanyang, a trace of clarity flashed in his eyes.
"Zhongde, whoever designed this plan, help me find out." The disgraced Cao Cao, without any trace of decadence, said to Cheng Yu with a serious expression.
At the same time, in order to avoid making such mistakes in the future, Cao Cao decided to thoroughly record this incident and put it on his body to remind himself in the future.
Cheng Yu accepted the matter with a pale face and looked towards Nanyang with emotion.
Obviously everything is so beautiful, Nanyang is within easy reach, but it is a pity that a fire completely buried everything.
Obviously, we only need to defeat Ji Ling, and then we can capture the entire Nanyang. After all, not long after Yuan Shu pacified Nanyang, the people's hearts have not yet recovered, so taking this opportunity can also be a permanent victory.
Moreover, it was originally the time to harvest food. After taking Nanyang, the food could be harvested to completely fill the food gap.
At that time, Nanyang County is in hand, and it can form a pincer attack on the entire Runan. It can span the three continents of Yan, Henan and Jing. It can also contact Liu Biao and help each other to advance and retreat together.
At that time, the world's atmosphere will change, and the so-called leader of the alliance will also be replaced. At that time, Cao Cao will replace Yuan Shao and become the leader.
Regardless of whether they are from aristocratic families or heroes, more people will choose Cao Cao instead of Yuan Shao.
But this situation, under a fire, was like a flower in the mirror, destroyed on the spot.
Under this fire, they chose to be light and simple, and the soldiers' losses were not much.
However, the baggage, weapons and armor left behind were basically equivalent to the equipment and supplies prepared for tens of thousands of troops when the entire army was wiped out.
That is not something that can be gathered together in a short while. Losing so many things at once, even if Cao Cao's family has a great cause, is still a loss of vitality, and it will take a period of quiet rest to recover.
What's more, the fire also affected the soldiers' morale, and it would be difficult to recover within a short period of time.
After this battle, I am afraid it will be difficult to start another war this year.
However, we can take advantage of this period of time to distribute new weapons and armors to the hands of soldiers, so that the soldiers can take advantage of this opportunity to warm up.
As for Cao Cao, his mood at this time was not good, it could even be said to be quite bad.
It's still acceptable to be forcibly interrupted by others on the way to the top.
After all, war is never smooth sailing, and it is understandable that there will be victory and defeat.
But this time it was different. What I thought was a sure-win game ended up like this.
You know, it was precisely because he knew he would win that Cao Cao was so excited.
He even wrote a letter to his father in advance, explaining his achievements and hoping that his father would help him.
With such a vast territory and population at hand, it is naturally worthy of the Cao family to increase their investment and try harder.
However, the war failed. Although the soldiers did not lose much, the material losses were too much.
I don’t know if my father is still willing to go to Chenliu after receiving this information.
There are many talented people in the family. If there is strong help from the family, the road will be much easier.
Cao Cao couldn't help but think of the people in his family, whether it was his younger brother or the younger generation in the family, there were really many capable people.
Whether you are considering it now or for the future, these are good candidates.
It can be trustworthy or trustworthy.
And their abilities and identities can also bear this trust and continue to work hard.
Xun You, who began to withdraw his troops from Nanyang, was relatively simple.
As long as you are willing to retreat, you can withdraw from Nanyang at any time.
However, in order to leave more secrets in Nanyang, Xun You wasted some time, but returned to Yingchuan before Ji Ling's army returned to defense.
At the same time, I have a lot of knowledge about the generals in the entire Ji Ling army, and I also have some guesses about the people who made the plans.
"Sure enough, the direct competition for the Central Plains is considered a failure, but fortunately, we can still implement it according to the previous strategic plan!" Xun You glanced at everyone and sighed slightly.
Fortunately, the road was not completely blocked in one line. Even if it failed, there was still room for recovery.
But the Sili area may not be so easy to calculate.
Not all of the generals in Xiliang are fools. Let’s test their personalities first.
See if there is anyone suitable and make contact first.
Trouble, no matter how much planning is done, it must be based on strength. I don’t know how much the Lord has lost this time.
I hope the loss is not much and can be made up for. Time, hey~
At this time, Yuan Shu was still in Nanyang. He was quite angry when he heard that Xun You's army was raging in Nanyang.
They were preparing to mobilize troops from other places to forcibly destroy this legion, but not long afterward, news came that the troublesome legion had retreated.
At the same time, Ji Ling's battle report also came, completely soothing Yuan Shu's irritable heart.
"Go and find out how much Cao Mengde has lost. The fire scene is hundreds of miles away. I don't know if Cao Mengde is still alive?" Yuan Shu glanced at the people beside him and said very calmly.
Regarding Cao Cao, Yuan Shu's mentality is more complicated. They were all friends once, but now they are at war with each other, but they can't say anything more.
After all, they have grown up and will eventually be responsible for their actions. Whether it is Mu Shou or for the ambition in his heart, it is destined that someone must lie down.
Only the winners can judge and summarize their actions, and the rest is no longer important.
But if possible, Yuan Shu still hopes that Cao Cao can live. After all, at their level, there are fewer and fewer people who can talk about what is in their hearts and quarrel with each other.
As for the contents of Ji Ling's battle report, Yuan Shu simply took a look at it, determined who should be rewarded and who should be punished, and then turned over it directly.
"I didn't expect Bo Fu and Gong Jin to have such abilities. Sun Wentai gave birth to a good son." Yuan Shu said with emotion as he looked at the battle report in his hand.
It would be great if Yuan Shu's son could be like Sun Ce, and even better if he could be like Zhou Yu.
It's a pity that these two outstanding characters have their own ideals and choices, which cannot be shaken by words alone.
After understanding the recent situation, Yuan Shu thought about his family's situation and the current situation in Nanyang, and finally decided to go from Nanyang to Runan and move to Pingyu, where he would coordinate the entire rule.
After thinking about it carefully, I decided to implement it as I thought before.
