    Xu Ducheng!

    At the Cavalry General's Mansion, Cao Cao put his left hand on his head to relieve his headache. After being attacked by Zhang Xiu in Wancheng, Cao Cao's headache came back and got a lot worse.

    Nanyang County was captured, and the threat to the west of Xu Du was lifted. However, due to carelessness, Zhang Xiu rebelled and sneak attacked, resulting in the death of a nephew and the loss of tens of thousands of horses. Although it hurt, it was still acceptable.  But the subsequent impact was unacceptable to Cao Cao.

    When the class teacher returned to the court, Cao Cao was shocked to find that there were many people in Xu Du who opposed him.  In the court, Wang Yun cooperated with him. No one dared to oppose him in the court, but many people opposed him in private.

    Various nursery rhymes and children's songs are circulated in Xudu, such as wife Cao Cao, eating secretly without wiping his mouth, and often defeated generals all seem to appear overnight.

    Cao Cao originally thought it was Wang Yun who was responsible, but after investigation, it was not the case, but a new force that had appeared before the ceremony.  Unexpectedly, after Liu Zhe left, this force actually still existed, and it seemed to have strengthened a lot. No matter how hard Cao Cao and Wang Yun checked, they couldn't find it out.

    So Cao Cao had a headache. After being attacked by Zhang Xiu and made into a mess, the subsequent impact also gave him a headache.  The third unknown force gave him a headache. What made him even more troubled was that the bastard Yuan Shu actually proclaimed himself emperor.

    Yuan Shu's proclaimed emperor had a great impact on Cao Cao. A third unknown force in Xudu directly blamed Cao Cao for Yuan Shu's proclaimed emperor, and made up a nursery rhyme for children to sing everywhere.

    No matter how angry Cao Cao is, he can't deal with these children. The more he deals with them, the more he becomes convinced that he has something to do with Cao Cao.  So Cao Cao could only endure being criticized by the people when he went to court every day.

    However, these days are not without good news. First of all, because Liu Zhe came to Xudu, after a lot of troubles, he patted his ass and left, allowing Wang Yun to see the situation clearly, and cooperated with Cao Cao sincerely, and the court became the two of them.  .

    Secondly, since Nanyang County has been captured, there is no need to worry about Zhang Xiu, a bastard, stabbing him in the back.  The threat to the west of Xudu has been eliminated, and Cao Cao can sleep more peacefully.

    The third point is that Ma Teng was left in Xudu in Xiliang. Cao Cao already had a general strategy for Xiliang. After he is done here, he can move his attention to the northwest.

    How great it would be if Zhang Xiu hadn't rebelled. Cao Cao couldn't help but sigh when he thought of this.

    "Has Liu Bei sent troops?" Cao Cao asked his men after sighing.

    Regarding Yuan Shu's rebellion, Cao Cao has not sent troops for a long time.  It's not that Cao Cao doesn't want to attack Yuan Shu, on the contrary, Cao Cao must attack Yuan Shu, because the court is now under his control. This is the orthodox court recognized by the world, and there is no other.

    Those Yuan Shu who suddenly appeared and proclaimed himself emperor must be punished, otherwise this orthodox court will be greatly disappointed and misunderstood by those careerists who are waiting to see.  Thinking that the imperial court can no longer deal with these rebellious and unethical behaviors, countless people will rush to imitate them.

    Once this happens, the court controlled by Cao Cao will become worthless and become a burden to Cao Cao.

    Cao Cao knew that if he didn't kill this bastard Yuan Shu as soon as possible, the impact would be very serious.  If he, an important minister who represents the imperial court, does not come forward, everyone will soon ignore the imperial court.

    "But Cao Cao also had difficulties. He didn't just send troops when he wanted to.  Cao Cao is surrounded by enemies. Liu Zhe is on the other side of the Yellow River, Gongsun Zan of Xuzhou is to the east, and Liu Bei is to the south. Fortunately, he defeated the west side, otherwise Cao Cao would be surrounded by enemies on all sides.

    With so many enemies, it is natural to deploy heavy defense. In addition to the defensive soldiers, Cao Cao also has nearly 200,000 soldiers at his disposal.

    However, after capturing Nanyang County, Cao Cao had to put tens of thousands of soldiers to defend Nanyang to avoid being suddenly attacked by Liu Biao of Jingzhou or Liu Bei of Yuzhou. It would be a great job.

    Xudu is the base camp. It is close to Yuzhou and must be defended by 100,000 soldiers. In this way, Cao Cao will have no usable soldiers.

    What Cao Cao meant was to transfer 30,000 soldiers back from Nanyang County to defend Xu Du, and then transfer 30,000 troops from Xu Du's 100,000 troops, plus 10,000 tiger and leopard cavalry, to attack Yuan Shu.

    Cao Cao didn¡¯t take Yuan Shu seriously. He had seen through Yuan Shu before. He was ambitious and talented, not even comparable to Yuan Shao. Cao Cao was not afraid of him at all.

    It takes time for the army to change defenses. Cao Cao planned to wait for the 30,000 soldiers from Nanyang County to return before leading his troops.

    But before the 30,000 soldiers from Nanyang returned, Cao Cao received the news that Liu Bei was sending troops.

    Cao Cao was not surprised when Liu Bei sent troops.  Liu Bei, the shoe buyer, was a treacherous and cunning guy. He couldn't afford it early. Yuan Shu proclaimed himself emperor and he sent troops to deal with Yuan Shu.??Nature has countless benefits.

    When Cao Cao asked that question, Cheng Yu who was on the side replied, "Yes, Liu Bei's army has reached the border of Runan County and was blocked by Yuan Shu's army. The two sides set up camp and tested each other."

    "Where is Gongsun Zan?" Cao Cao thought for a while and asked again.

    He has not forgotten Gongsun Zan of Xuzhou. If it weren't for this damn Gongsun Zan, Xuzhou would have been in his pocket a long time ago.

    Cheng Yu replied: "Gongsun Zan's attitude is subtle. Although he has assembled an army, it has not yet set off."

    "Hmph, as soon as Yuan Shu shows a flaw, he will definitely pounce on him and bite him hard." Cao Cao snorted coldly, Gongsun Zan didn't stay in the north, and actually came to Xuzhou to ruin his affairs.

    "Yes, he is waiting." Cheng Yu agreed with Cao Cao.

    "Zhongde, what do you think?" Cao Cao suddenly asked.

    "My lord, do you want them to fight first?"

    When Cheng Yu heard Cao Cao's question, he understood what Cao Cao wanted to do.

    Cao Cao nodded and said nothing. He did have such an idea.

    Although Yuan Shu is useless, he still has some troops and horses. Even if he is in trouble, he can still consume some of the strength of Liu Bei or Gongsun Zan.

    Yuan Shu is a waste, but Liu Bei and Gongsun Zan are not. Their alliance puts a lot of pressure on Cao Cao. Cao Cao has long wanted to deal with these two people.

    "Zhongde, what do you think of attacking Xuzhou?"

    Cao Cao stood up, stared at the map for a while, and finally asked suddenly.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
