    However, Cao Cao thought about it and didn't believe it. He had deployed heavy troops at the border of Xuzhou and Yanzhou. He didn't believe that Gongsun Zan dared to send troops to attack him.

    Gongsun Zan's foundation in Xuzhou is unstable, and sending troops easily will only lead to death.  Unless he can defeat himself quickly, Gongsun Zan's rear will 100% catch fire once he gets into a protracted battle.

    Cao Cao didn¡¯t believe that Gongsun Zan was arrogant enough to defeat him easily. He didn¡¯t believe that Gongsun Zan couldn¡¯t distinguish the pros and cons.

    But when Cao Cao saw the smile on Liu Zhe's face, he understood that Liu Zhe must be behind Gongsun Zan's sending troops.

    With Liu Zhe¡¯s support, Gongsun Zan was generous enough to send troops.

    After thinking about it, Cao Cao glared at Liu Zhe: "Despicable."

    Liu Zhe smiled and said nonchalantly: "Each other, each other."

    Liu Zhe looked at Cao Cao's haunted face and smiled: "Mengde, don't hold on, hand over Yongzhou, and I will let your men leave safely and return to you. This is the best choice for you.  It won't do you any good if you continue to fight."

    Cao Cao glared at Liu Zhe. He was angry, depressed, and had all sorts of emotions.

    Compared with Liu Zhe, his cards are too bad. No matter what cards he plays, Liu Zhe has the cards to restrain him, leaving him with no skills and nothing to do.

    Cao Cao's face was uncertain, and he finally gritted his teeth and said: "How do I know to hand over Yongzhou? You broke your promise and refused to let Zixiao and the others go?"

    "Then you will suffer a big loss." Liu Zhe said exaggeratedly.

    After hearing this, Cao Cao once again had the urge to pounce on Liu Zhe and bite him to death.  Liu Zhe occupied Tongguan and Weinan, and Cao Ren was trapped in Huayin, unable to even escape.

    Now Cao Cao and Liu Zhe are like buyers and sellers. Liu Zhe is the seller and Cao Cao is the buyer. The initiative lies in the hands of the seller. The buyer has no choice but to even bargain.

    Cao Cao glared at Liu Zhe, and Liu Zhe looked at Cao Cao without fear. In the end, Cao Cao was defeated.

    Cao Cao finally said with a gloomy expression: "I need to go back and think about it!"

    Liu Zhe said calmly: "There is a two-day deadline, no waiting after the expiration date."

    "You have to know that I also have the strength to conquer Yongzhou"

    Liu Zhe's words made Cao Cao's expression even darker.

    It was already past midnight when Cao Cao returned to the camp. Many soldiers in the camp had already gone to bed. However, Cao Cao had no sleep at all, and neither did his generals. Everyone gathered in the big tent.

    It was very quiet in the big tent, everyone was silent, and there was a depressing atmosphere in the air.

    After Cao Cao came back, he had been sitting for nearly half an hour. For half an hour, he didn't say a word. He just sat quietly at the desk, thinking silently.

    Finally, the impatient Cao Hong spoke up and broke the silence in the tent. He said: "My lord, let me attack again tomorrow. As long as Tongguan is captured and Liu Zhe is captured, everything can be reversed."

    "It's useless." Cao Cao shook his head and said.

    Cao Ren was surrounded and Weinan fell. Liu Zhe was able to receive a steady stream of aid from behind. But here, Cao Cao had been attacking for several days and had suffered numerous casualties. Now all the remaining soldiers are exhausted, and there is no point in attacking forcefully again.  .

    Even though Tongguan could not be captured a few days ago, Cao Cao did not believe that he would be able to capture Tongguan tomorrow.  The soldiers under Liu Zhe were too desperate and were far more powerful than their soldiers.

    "Then what should we do?"

    Cao Hong was dumbfounded when he saw that Cao Cao, as the lord, had lost the confidence to capture Tongguan. The only way he could think of was to capture Tongguan. Apart from this, he didn't know what else to do.

    So, Cao Hong asked for battle again: "Why don't we let Zixiao attack Tongguan to the death?"

    "Nonsense!"

    When Cao Cao heard Cao Hong's bad idea, he couldn't help scolding him. Because of Cao Hong's hard work before, Cao Cao would not blame him even if he was angry and didn't speak loudly to him. Now he couldn't help it and reprimanded him loudly.

    "Liu Zhe has a lot of cavalry, while Zixiao mainly has infantry. Not to mention the small number, even if the number is large, it is not enough for Liu Zhe's cavalry to go back and forth."

    Cao Hong was very unhappy and said unconvinced: "Is this how Yongzhou will be handed over to Liu Zhe?"

    Naturally, Cao Cao didn¡¯t want to give up Yongzhou just like this. Although the Yongzhou he occupied was not all, it was the best place. Once he gave it away, it would be like being stabbed ten times and eight times with no difference.

    Now there are only two choices before Cao Cao. One is to withdraw from Yongzhou, give Yongzhou to Liu Zhe, and save Cao Renhe.He had nearly 100,000 soldiers. Secondly, he sacrificed Cao Ren and his soldiers and continued the fight with Liu Zhe.

    However, the second option is to not give up Yongzhou. As Liu Zhe said, Tongguan and Weinan are both in Liu Zhe's hands. Then Cao Ren will be unable to fly, and Chang'an lacks a general, so he will definitely stick to it.  It won't be long.  Regardless of whether Cao Cao agrees to withdraw from Yongzhou, Liu Zhe can easily capture Yongzhou.

    As for which one to choose, it goes without saying that Cao Cao is not a fool. Unless he is confident that he will win, it is impossible for him to choose the second option.

    "Damn it!"

    After Cao Cao heard what Cao Hong said, he cursed loudly and depressedly, then angrily wiped his hands and swept away the things on the desk and scattered them all over the floor.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
