    From the map, there is indeed only one route for Liu Zhe to enter Urasakajin, Urasakajin.

    If there are two roads connecting Yongzhou under Cao Cao to the Central Plains, one is the Tongguan and Hangu Pass roads, and the other is the Wuguan Road.  Then Liu Zhe only has one, just one.

    Cao Cao looked at the map presented by his men, his eyes flickering. After staring at it for a while, he said to himself: "If we can capture Pubanjin and cut off the connection between Hedong and Feng Yi County, then no matter how many soldiers Liu Zhe has in Feng Yi County,  Not afraid anymore.¡±

    Even if Liu Zhe has a million troops in Feng Yi County, if Urasakajin is cut off, he will starve to death sooner or later.

    But after muttering to himself for a while, Cao Cao smiled bitterly. It couldn't be that easy. Let alone Hedong, Cao Cao couldn't get through it. Even if he did, there was no guarantee that he could capture and hold Urasakajin.  Urabanjin was Liu Zhe's lifeblood, and Cao Cao did not believe that Liu Zhe did not station heavy troops there.

    If you want to capture Hedong and occupy Pubanjin, it is better to hope that Cao Ren of Yongzhou will capture Linjin and blockade Pubanjin. This is more practical.

    Mao Jie vowed: "So, my lord, don't worry too much. Liu Zhe is not a fool. He will not fight with my lord in Yongzhou. After all, he may be restricted by logistics. In comparison, we are better than him and the situation is more serious."  favorable."

    Cao Cao was moved. It turned out that Mao Jie said so much to comfort him and not make him angry.

    What a good subordinate, so considerate, Cao Cao was moved in his heart, and then asked his considerate subordinate a difficult question: "What if there is more than one route for Liu Zhe to enter Yongzhou?"

    "More than one?" Mao Jie was shocked when he heard this. If there were two, what Mao Jie just said would be in vain.

    With two or more routes, Liu Zhe¡¯s logistics will not be restricted, and supplies of materials can be continuously transported into Yongzhou.  With the strength of Liu Zhe's men, they can really sweep Yongzhou and Liangzhou. Not to mention Cao Ren himself, even if Cao Ren teamed up with Ma Chao and Han Sui, they would not be Liu Zhe's opponent.

    After Mao Jie Manchong heard Cao Cao's words, his heart jumped at first, but after the two looked at each other, they both saw doubts in each other's eyes. Is there a second point?

    Man Chong understood when he saw Cao Cao's eyes resting on Tongguan but his fingers on the bend of the Yellow River.

    Man Chong asked aloud: "My lord, are you worried about Fenglingdu?"

    Cao Cao nodded. He did not hide anything from his two men and said: "Once Liu Zhe makes a sneak attack across the river from Fenglingdu, Tongguan will be in great danger."

    The importance of Tongguan is self-evident. If there was no Fenglingdu, Tongguan would not be so important. There is Chang'an Defense Line in the front and Hangu Pass in the back. Tongguan is in the middle and is not afraid of Liu Zhe's sneak attack.

    But it just so happens that fifty miles away from Tongguan is the Yellow River. Fenglingdu is right there.  Crossing the river from Fengling, Tongguan would be under the threat of a military front.

    After Cao Cao captured Tongguan, he once wanted to imitate Yanjin and Baimajin and build a city near the ferry.  However, at that time, he saw that Liu Zhe did not deploy heavy troops at Fenglingdu, and he did not want to be an enemy of Liu Zhe at that time. In order not to irritate Liu Zhe, he did not order it, but quietly strengthened the defense of Xia Tongguan.

    He and Liu Zhe forgot Fenglingdu together, but when there was a real possibility of provoking Liu Zhe, Fenglingdu became a worry for him.

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

    Mao Jie tried to persuade him again, saying: "Didn't my lord ask Xu Rong to defend Fenglingdu? Xu Rong does have some abilities. With Fenglingdu under his defense, Liu Zhe should not dare to cross the river."

    Crossing the river is not a simple matter. If someone is defending on the shore and crossing the river forcefully, you will only suffer heavy casualties.

    When Cao Cao heard this, he also nodded. Xu Rong was indeed capable, otherwise he would not have allowed Xu Rong to serve as the prefect of Tongguan. He would also send people to greet him during the holidays to buy his loyalty.  He has sent someone to send a letter to Xu Rong, asking him to defend Fengling Ferry. He believes that Xu Rong will not let him down.

    "Lord" Man Chong was about to say something, when suddenly he saw a horse running quickly from the west below. It was a messenger from Cao Cao's army to send an urgent message.

    "Urgent military information!"

    Before the messenger entered the pass, he shouted loudly: "Tongguan has been lost, Tongguan has been lost"

    Hearing this, Man Chong's expression suddenly changed. When he turned around, Mao Jie was already pale, while Cao Cao's eyes were dull.

    Cao Cao's face changed back and forth, from red to white, looking very exciting. After a while, his body shook, and then a mouthful of blood suddenly spurted out.

    "Xu Rong mistook me"

    After Cao Cao finished saying this, he was about to fall down the wall.If he falls down, his life will probably be decided.

    "Lord, be careful"

    Man Chong, who was closest to Cao Cao, had quick hands and eyes and grabbed Cao Cao immediately.  If it weren't for his quick hands, maybe Cao Cao would have confessed it here today.

    Cao Cao¡¯s men swarmed up and supported Cao Cao, but Cao Cao was already semi-conscious at this time.

    "Quickly, carry the lord down!" Man Chong ordered. Cao Cao was now semi-conscious, and Mao Jie was also hit by the news of the fall of Tongguan. For a moment, his face turned pale and he was confused.

    Now Man Chong is the only one who is still awake, so Man Chong takes command without hesitation.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
