    Cao Cao couldn't help but miss his good friend Yuan Shao. When Yuan Shao was here before, he had a pretty good life. With Yuan Shao supporting Liu Zhe in the front, he still had time to fight for power with Wang Yun in the court.

    "It's a pity that Yuan Shao died, and he had to go into battle to face Liu Zhe in person.

    "It's a pity that he wasted too much time fighting for power with that old guy Wang Yun. Otherwise, if he took the opportunity to expand his territory while Yuan Shao and Liu Zhe were fighting, he would not be as hard as now.  Cao Cao sighed inwardly that he had missed a good opportunity.

    It¡¯s all the fault of that old guy Wang Yun.  Cao Cao hated Wang Yun in his heart. While cursing Liu Zhe, he paid his regards to Wang Yun's family.

    Mao Jie comforted Cao Cao and said: "My lord, there is no need to be angry. As long as this plan succeeds, the Central Plains is unified, and all states and counties are integrated, my lord will definitely have the strength to fight Liu Zhe."

    It can be said.  In this plan, Cao Cao took great risks.

    He encouraged Han Sui to overtake his troops and create an opportunity for Cao Ren to sneak attack Feng Yi County, occupy Linjin City, blockade Pu Ban Jin, block Liu Zhe on the north bank of the Yellow River, paralyze Gongsun Zan, sneak attack Xuzhou, and finally capture Liangzhou.

    If this plan is successfully implemented, Cao Cao's sphere of influence will inevitably increase dramatically, and his territory will expand rapidly. When the time comes to integrate his subordinates, his strength will inevitably increase dramatically.

    "It's a pity that as soon as Cao Cao's plan was ready to be implemented and the messenger was dispatched, Liu Zhe launched a strong counterattack.  He personally led an army of 200,000 people and attacked Feng Yijun.

    This made Cao Cao extremely frightened, but he had no choice but to shoot. For the safety of Yongzhou, Cao Cao had to lead an army of 100,000 to Yongzhou.

    In order to gather these 100,000 troops, Cao Cao even brought surrendered troops. Now his hinterland is empty. He only has less than 50,000 troops to attack Xuzhou, which is very risky.

    "Damn Liu Zhe."

    When Cao Cao thought of this, he couldn't help but cursed Liu Zhe.  I obviously kept it secret, so why would Liu Zhe know about it?  Or is it that Liu Zhe originally wanted to use troops?

    Cao Cao didn¡¯t know what Liu Zhe was thinking, but he knew that Yongzhou could not be lost easily, otherwise it would be a major blow to him.

    "Bo Ning (Man Chong), Xiao Xian (Mao Jie)," Cao Cao pondered for a while and asked: "Where do you think Liu Zhe's goal will be? Chang'an or Liangzhou?"

    Man Chong spoke up: "My Lord, no matter where Liu Zhe's goal is, Lord, there is no need to worry too much. As long as General Cao Ren captures Linjin City and blocks Pubanjin, Liu Zhe's army will only return without success."

    Without the Urasakajin ferry, Liu Zhe could only stare blankly unless he could fly across the river.

    "What if Urasakajin cannot be blocked?" Cao Cao was a little worried. He had given up hope that Cao Ren could capture Linjin City.

    It would have been possible if Cao Ren had been given more time, but now Liu Zhe's army has arrived at Hedong and will be able to cross the river in a few days. In such a short period of time, it is impossible for Cao Ren to attack Jin and blockade Pubanjin.

    It¡¯s not that Cao Cao doesn¡¯t trust his subordinates, but that his opponents are too powerful and Cao Cao doesn¡¯t think Cao Ren can easily defeat them.

    "My lord, there is no need to worry."

    Mao Jie smiled confidently and analyzed for Cao Cao: "Even if Liu Zhe's 200,000 troops arrive in Linjin, there is no need to worry."

    When Cao Cao heard this, Mao Jie seemed to have a plan. His eyes lit up and he quickly asked, "What do you think Xiaoxian said?"

    "If Liu Zhe's 200,000 troops arrive in Linjin, then adding Linjin's original 100,000 troops, it will be 300,000 troops. Adding the civilians, etc., there will be at least four to five million mouths to eat."

    "Feng Yi County has very little output due to the war. Guan Yu's 100,000 troops and hundreds of thousands of people originally had to rely on external food and material support. Now that Liu Zhe is bringing an additional 200,000 troops, Feng Yi County's food must be very tight."

    At this point, Cao Cao already understood what Mao Jie meant. Cao Cao asked, "Did Xiaoxian say that Liu Zhe's logistics might not be able to keep up?"

    "That's right."

    Mao Jie nodded and said: "Although Youzhou is rich, there are many places under Liu Zhe's rule that need to consume food and supplies. Hundreds of thousands of people are in Feng Yi County, and the daily consumption of supplies is huge. However, Liu Zhe has only one way to enter.  Feng Yijun"

    "Urasaka Tsu!"

    Cao Cao has already said it for him. Cao Cao's eyes are so bright that they can be said to be sparkling. At this time, Cao Cao still doesn't understand what Mao Jie is referring to, and he is no longer Cao Cao.

    "My lord is wise!"

    It seems that the trick of flattering the lord is suitable everywhere. After Mao Jie gently flattered Cao Cao, he continued: "The only way to enter Feng Yi County is from Pu'an in the east of Hedong.Entering the Jindu River, the Yellow River is wide and water transportation is inconvenient.  According to his subordinates, it is okay to support Liu Zhe's hundreds of thousands of people with daily food and drink, but to support them in battle, the supplies may not be enough.  "

    "Perhaps Liu Zhe stored a lot of supplies before, right?"

    Man Chong also spoke up at this time, he said doubtfully: "Guan Yu has been in Feng Yi County for many years, and supplies have been continuously transported to Feng Yi County. He should have stored a lot of supplies."

    Mao Jie nodded and said: "It is certainly possible for a short time, but definitely not for a long time. Because there is only one way to transport supplies."

    Cao Cao nodded upon hearing this and agreed with Mao Jie's point of view. Cao Cao himself was also an expert in marching and fighting, so he naturally understood the importance of logistics.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
