Huainan.
There was a total ceasefire between the Wei and Wu armies, but Cao Cao did not leave just yet.
It's not that I'm waiting for the opportunity to get back Huainan.
But waiting for news.
Waiting for Guo Jia's good news in Guanzhong.
Staying in Huainan will facilitate communication with Sun Quan.
After all, after taking Guanzhong, how to continue the strategy of uniting with Sun Quan to attack Qin as soon as possible is the top priority for Cao Cao!
However, Cao Cao had a very difficult time standing still for a long time.
With hundreds of thousands of mouths waiting to eat, huge food consumption occurs every day!
At the same time, Guo Jia also needs to supply the 200,000 troops to attack Guanzhong.
The food that Cao Cao had accumulated for several years in Hebei was almost emptied out.
At present, Huainan's food is completely supplied by the aristocratic families of various states and counties in the Central Plains.
To put it bluntly, Cao Cao got it on credit!
However, the food that can be borrowed is limited, and the noble families cannot supply it endlessly.
In addition, Cao Cao had no results in Huainan, and his subordinates were already complaining.
After all, most people don't know Guo Jia's plan to attack Guanzhong.
Everyone only knew that Cao Cao was wasting his time in Huainan and wasting his food and salary!
Moreover, there were victories and defeats with Zhou Yu, and there was no decisive victory, which made the morale of the Wei army very low.
The situation in Huainan continues to develop in a way that is unfavorable to Cao Jun.
Before, many people had come to see him and persuade Cao Cao to withdraw his troops.
It is even more clear that Huainan will be gradually planned in the future.
"King Wei!"
Xiahou Dun, Xiahou Yuan, and Cao Ren came to the Chinese army commander's tent together.
At this time, Cao Cao was eating and asked the three of them to sit down.
"Yuan Rang, Miaocai, Zixiao, sit down!"
"Have you three eaten?"
Xiahou Yuan and Cao Ren looked at each other and gave Xiahou Dun a signal at the same time.
Xiahou Dun understood and held his hand in front of him to speak.
"King Wei, how can we think about eating?"
Cao Cao glanced at Xiahou Dun and continued to eat by himself.
"What? Is it too hot?"
"Why!"
Xiahou Dun shook his head and sighed softly.
"King Wei, there are a lot of complaints in the army, the morale of the soldiers is low, and there is a shortage of food. It is not an option to continue like this!"
"Also, has King Wei heard about it? Sun Quan's Western Front Commander Lu Xun surrendered, and Liu Zhang has completely captured Nanjun and Jiangxiajun."
"Liu Bei is lingering in Jingnan, and he probably won't be able to hold on for long."
Cao Cao nodded and was still eating by himself.
"You know, how long ago did this happen?"
"King Wei, there is no way we can continue like this!"
"No hurries!"
Cao Cao glared at Xiahou Dun displeasedly.
"The more joy Liu Zhang makes in Jingzhou, the harder he will cry when the time comes!"
"Is there any news from Bingzhou? What happened to Guo Jia?"
Xiahou Dun shook his head.
"There is no news. Apart from asking for huge amounts of money and food from Bingzhou Governor's Office every day, there is no progress."
Xia Houyuan couldn't help but complain.
"If Guo Jia hadn't asked for too much food and supplies, how could we be so tight here!"
Cao Cao raised his hand to interrupt the complaint.
"Okay, Guo Jia has his difficulties!"
"Crossing mountains and ridges, and making a surprise attack on the hinterland of Qin State, would you dare? Are you sure of taking Guanzhong?"
Xiahou Dun and the three others remained silent.
Joke, how can it be that easy?
That's the hinterland of Qin. Who knows how complicated it is?
"King Wei, I have something unclear."
Cao Cao raised his chopsticks.
"Tell me, I'll help you figure it out."
"It stands to reason that after such a long time, it is impossible for Liu Zhang not to know about the strange things in Guanzhong. Even if he is ignorant, he must know that Wuguan and Tongguan are besieged, right?"
"Why did Liu Zhang have no intention of withdrawing his troops and deploying his troops? Instead, he frequently used troops in Jingnan?"
Xiahou Dun thought for a moment and told the information he had just learned.
"I just heard that Liu Zhang has besieged Linxiang for more than a month."
"oh?"
This news still surprised Cao Cao.
"Liu Zhang has a big heart!"
"That's right! I always feel that something is not right."
Cao Cao chuckled softly.
"It's okay, don't worry."
"How do you know Liu Zhang didn't send anyone back to help Guanzhong?"
Cao Ren stepped forward.
"King Wei, according to the information we have gathered, no troops have returned to Guanzhong."
"He has to go back too!"
Cao Cao's smile became even stronger.
"Feng Xiao once told Gu about his plan."
"After invading Guanzhong, he will immediately block the road between Guanzhong and Yizhou!"
"What will happen if Liu Zhang's entire army comes back to support him? He can't even get through a single soldier!"
Although Cao Cao was confident, the three of them were still a little worried.
"King Wei, do Guo's military advisors have enough troops?"
"Enough! Of course it's enough! Fengxiao also arranged for 100,000 Xianbei cavalry to assist in the battle!"
"The Chinese Army and the Northern Army..."
Cao Cao waved his hand.
"First of all, Fengxiaoyougu's fifty thousand cavalry crushed Qin's central and northern armies like an ant!"
"Besides, do you really think the Chinese and Northern troops are still in Guanzhong?"
The three of them were full of confusion and looked confused.
"King Wei, where are they if they are not in Guanzhong?"
"snort!"
Cao Cao's face darkened and he snorted to express his dissatisfaction.
"I usually ask you to use your brains, but you just don't listen!"
"Did Liu Zhang conjure up the 100,000 elite soldiers he used to annihilate Lu Xun and Liu Bei's armies out of thin air in the Battle of Nanjun?"
Xiahou Dun and the others were stunned for a moment, and then they showed signs of enlightenment.
"What King Wei means is..."
"That's right! These 100,000 people must be the dismounted soldiers of the Chinese Army and the Northern Army!"
"What a pity, Liu Zhang, this idiot, didn't expect that Gu's target was not Huainan, but his Guanzhong!"
"Ahahahaha!"
Cao Cao was so proud that he looked up to the sky and laughed.
He fought against Liu Zhang many times and was defeated every time.
This time, I finally returned a big one!
After taking Guanzhong, Liu Zhang would become a toothless tiger and would be at his mercy!
"After this battle, Liu Zhang is nothing to worry about! Jiangdong Sun Quan is just a dog guarding the city and poses no threat to Gu!"
"As for Liu Bei, humph, he is no longer worthy of being in Gude's eyes!"
"In short, after taking Guanzhong, the world's structure will be overturned! The lonely Wei State will rise with unstoppable momentum, thus pacifying the entire world!"
Cao Cao's words made Xiahoudun and the others excited and excited.
With the rise of Wei State, they naturally followed the rising tide.
After all, they and Cao Cao are a real family!
"Congratulations to King Wei for bringing peace to the troubled times and dominating the world!"
"Ahahaha! Okay! Okay!"
Cao Cao stroked his short beard and couldn't close the corners of his mouth at all.
"If Gu can bring peace to the world, you and the others will be the first to succeed!"
"Thank you, King Wei!"
At this moment, a rushing sound came from outside the tent.
"Report...!"
