Three Kingdoms: I ran for my life all the way, but was forced to become the master of this world!

Chapter 351

After Cao Cao's army withdrew to Yecheng, he immediately received news of Zhang Liao's defeat.

"How is Wen Yuan's injury?" Cao Cao did not ask a word about Huainan, but directly asked Zhang Liao, which made Jia Xu very moved.

General Zhang Liao was seriously wounded, but he had no fear of life and had now withdrawn to Xuzhou. It's just..." replied Sima Yi.

Recently, Sima Yi has been following Cao Cao as a clerk.

"It's

just that the 50,000 army has been completely destroyed, Huainan has been completely occupied by Jiangdong, and it may be difficult for us to retake it again!" Sima Yi looked worried.

"Ha..." Cao Cao burst out laughing, "Sun Quan Xiaoer, this time he is cheap." But as long as Wen Yuan, Mancheng, Wen Qian, and Ziyang are well, what is this Huainan, I will take it back sooner or later!"

Cao Cao's health is getting worse and worse, Jia Xu is really afraid that he will not be able to withstand such a blow, it seems that he thinks too much.

"Lord, after the news of the defeat of Huainan's army reaches Yuzhou, Pang Tong Wei Yan may send troops, and at this time Yanzhou is empty, and his subordinates are willing to go to Yanzhou!" Sima Yi ordered.

Cao Cao looked at Sima Yi and then at Jia Xu.

"Lord, Zhongda's words are reasonable, but his subordinates think that what matters now is not Yanzhou, but Xuzhou!"

"Military master, Xuzhou is a good place for soldiers to fight for, but Yanzhou is the hinterland of the Central Plains, how can it not be important!" Sima Yi obviously disagreed with Jia Xu's point of view.

"Wen He, Zhongda is right, how can Yanzhou not be important?" Cao Cao was also a little puzzled.

"Lord, Yanzhou is the hinterland of the Central Plains, but it has nothing to do with us. Pang Tong and Wei Yan will not give up such an opportunity, I am afraid that they have already lost it at this time, and even if they go, it is useless. Jia Xu bowed his hand to Cao Cao, "Lu Su can be the governor of Jiangdong, his talent is no different from Zhou Yu's, and Wen Ping is by no means an opponent, so his subordinates think that they can send Zhongda to Xuzhou to serve as a military master." "

This..." Cao Cao was stunned after hearing Jia Xu's words.

Cao Cao's feelings for Yanzhou were very deep, because his struggle for world domination began in Yanzhou.

But if you think about it, what Jia Xu said is not unreasonable.

With Zhang Hao and Cao Hong, 20,000 soldiers and horses, how can they hold Yanzhou?"

Just then, a guard came in with a letter in his hand.

"Cao Hong, when did you send it?" asked Cao Cao.

"It has just arrived, and the messenger is still outside the door.

"Okay, let's get out!" Cao Cao waved to the guard.

"No!" Cao Cao

finished reading the letter, his face as calm as ever, not sad or unhappy. Then he put the letter on the desk and looked at Sima Yi.

"Zhongda, you go to Xuzhou, Ren Wenping's army master, remember, don't take the initiative to attack, just hold Xuzhou

!" "No!"

Sima Yi bowed to Cao Cao and turned to leave.

"Wen He, what do you think of Sima Yi?" looked at Sima Yi's back, Cao Cao asked.

"Lord, my subordinates have paid special attention to the fact that Sima Yi is indeed talented, and he is never ostentatious, does not like fame, and does not pursue high-ranking officials and houlu.

"Wen He thinks that he has no ambition?" "

No, on the contrary!" Jia Xu's face was calm, "If you don't like fame, you will endure, and you don't want high-ranking officials because your intentions are very big!

Could it really be Sima Yi's father and son?" Cao Cao seemed to be talking to himself, and as if he was asking Jia Xu.

"The subordinates can't be sure, but Ma Teng's father and son are by no means!" A

dream of three horses in the same groove made Cao Cao uneasy all the time. Originally, as soon as Ma Teng died, Cao Cao felt that the aftermath had been eliminated. However, it was said that Sima Yi's father and son were all great talents in heaven and earth, which made him immediately connect with that dream again.

Moreover, the more Cao Cao thought about it, the more uneasy he felt. If Ma Teng seizes his inheritance, it will definitely be a knife and a shot, and what does it have to do with the three horses? His threat was originally much smaller than that of Liu Jun and Sun Quan. It's this Sima Yi, by his side!"

"The lord doesn't actually need to worry, although Sima Yi of Hedong is powerful, the members of his family are not really in charge of the army. As long as the military power is in the hands of the lord, this inheritance will be stable, not to mention, it is just a dream!" said Jia Xu.

"Wen He is right, it was just a dream!" Listening to Jia Xu's words, Cao Cao relaxed, "What Zi Lian's letter said, Wen He has already guessed, right?"

"General Cao Hong and General Zhang Hao must have retreated to Yanjin and Guandu!"

"Not only did he retreat there, but he also crossed

the Yellow River!" "Crossing the Yellow River?" Jia Xu was taken aback, "Isn't this just completely abandoning Yanzhou?" The

Han army was strong, Cao Hong was not a person who fought a tough battle, and Zhang Hao would not fight hard, so Jia Xu had already thought that once Pang Tong and Wei Yan sent troops, the two of them would retreat to Baima, Yanjin, and

Guandu was on the line, waiting for reinforcements from Jizhou, and then counterattacked Yanzhou. However, he did not expect to retreat directly across the Yellow River, and it would be difficult to counterattack Yanzhou.

"I can't blame them either, Wen He, take a look!" Cao Cao handed the letter to Jia Xu.

Jia Xu quickly looked at it, his brows furrowed, and his face changed greatly.

"Fifteen thousand cavalry?" Jia Xu was a Wuwei man, and he was naturally clear about the power of the Western Liang Iron Horse in Dong Zhuo's army at the earliang.

Fifteen thousand cavalry, its combat strength is equivalent to fifty thousand infantry. If they met in the wilderness, even if they were 100,000 infantry, they would not be able to do 15,000 cavalry!

If it weren't for Lü Bu's arrogance, disobedience, and failure to adopt Chen Gong's scheme, Cao Cao would have easily defeated him.

"This Liu Jun was actually able to form fifteen thousand cavalry!" Cao Cao once also had cavalry, Zhang Hu's Union State Wolf Horse, Zhang Xiu's Xiliang Iron Horse, and Cao Chun's Tiger and Leopard Horse, but there were only five thousand in total. Cavalry is a money-burning class, and after his cavalry was defeated in Nanyang, he only rebuilt five thousand, and if he wanted more, he couldn't afford it!"

"Lord, over the years, Liu Jun not only paid attention to farming, but also rewarded business, they were not short of money and food, so they were able to form fifteen thousand cavalry. Jia Xu was initially unimpressed by Liu Jun's promotion of the status of a businessman. Merchants value profit rather than virtue, and doing so will certainly arouse the dissatisfaction of the scholars. But now his concept has changed, and the most important thing about war and most importantly money and food, which used to depend on the cultivation of the field, now finds that as long as the merchants are given enough benefits, they can get them from far away.

"Wen He, I want to fight a decisive battle with Pang Tong Wei Yan at Guandu, I don't know?"

"Lord, Liu Bei led an army of 100,000 to attack Chengdu, and Liu Bei will deal with it with all his strength. If we defeat Pang Tong Wei Yan, we can not only directly retake Yanzhou, but also reoccupy Yuzhou!"
