    "Prime Minister, there are not many days left before Liu Zhe's request." Yang Xiu did not refute Cheng Yu's words, but said this calmly.

    There was a touch of loneliness in his tone. He felt that he was too awesome and no one could match him.

    Because Liu Zhe¡¯s letter asked Cao Cao to give a reply within a specified time. If he misses this time, he will also offend Liu Zhe.

    ¡°And there is another meaning in Yang Xiu¡¯s words, that is, no one could come up with a solution for so much time before, so in the remaining time, can anyone still come up with a solution?

    Cao Cao understood what Yang Xiu meant. He looked at his men present and asked in a deep voice again: "Is there anything else you can do?"

    Seeing the silence of his men, Cao Cao felt depressed and angry. He had raised these people in vain.

    "Zhongda, what can you do?" Cao Cao called his name again.

    This time it was Sima Yi who was pretending to be dead on fire.

    Cao Cao actually cared a little about Sima Yi. On the one hand, Sima Yi's appearance made him worried. He looked at him with wolfish eyes. He knew at a glance that this person was cautious and suspicious, and could even be said to have evil intentions.

    And Sima Yi is as intelligent as any of his men. Cao Cao is worried about whether his heir will be able to control Sima Yi after he dies.

    On the other hand, Sima Yi¡¯s intelligence prevented him from abandoning him. After all, there were still few smart people, and he needed Sima Yi¡¯s intelligence to work for him.

    Liu Zhe has too many talents, whether they are military generals or counselors. Their numbers and abilities can overwhelm Cao Cao. Therefore, even if he thought that reusing Sima Yi might create trouble, Cao Cao had no choice.

    "Prime Minister!" Sima Yi had to speak out after being called out by Cao Cao. He didn't want to speak out at first.

    ¡°I think it¡¯s better to let me wait for a day or two to think of a solution.¡± Sima Yi said. He was leaning towards Cheng Yu¡¯s statement. After all, Cheng Yu¡¯s statement was prudent.

    And Sima Yi also has his own small thoughts. He agrees with Cheng Yu's opinion and can establish a good relationship with Cheng Yu. As Cao Cao's confidant, Cheng Yu's words have a great influence on Cao Cao.

    As for Yang Xiu, Sima Yi has long been unhappy with Yang Xiu, an arrogant guy.

    "Anyway, there are still a few days until Liu Zhe's request. Just reply to him on the last day. Anyway, his people are still in Xudu." Sima Yi said.

    The person sent by Liu Zhe to deliver the message was still waiting in Xudu for Cao Cao's reply.

    Yang Xiu was unhappy, but he said nothing this time because Cao Cao had already nodded, indicating that he thought Sima Yi's method was good.

    If he objects, it will definitely make Cao Cao unhappy. Yang Xiu, who is very good at observing people's emotions, will naturally not do such a stupid thing.

    Because both Cheng Yu and Sima Yi tended to continue to think of ways and not to adopt Yang Xiu's method so quickly, Cao Cao did not rush to do it, but waited for a few more days, hoping that his men would come up with a better way.

    However, three days before Liu Zhe's request, an urgent message was sent back to Xu Du, making Cao Cao unable to calm down.

    Waiting for you to become numb.

    Cao Cao cursed and quickly asked people to follow Yang Xiu's method and start executing it.

    The urgent information came from Cao Chun. Cao Chun sent people back to ask for help and asked Cao Cao to send reinforcements quickly.

    After Gongsun Zan succeeded in the sneak attack and captured Xiapi, Cao Chun hurriedly led his men back to Pengcheng.  He regrouped and planned to lead his men to capture Xiapi.

    Because they were worried that when attacking Xiapi, Pengcheng would be empty and be attacked by surprise.  Therefore, Cao Chun left a heavy defense in Pengcheng, so he did not have many available troops.

    Cao Chun failed to recapture Xiapi despite repeated attacks. Instead, Gongsun Zan took the opportunity to launch several sneak attacks and suffered heavy losses.

    Cao Chun didn't have much available troops. After being attacked several times, Cao Chun almost became a bachelor commander. He was so anxious that he even wanted to go into battle naked.

    Instead, Gongsun Zan became more and more courageous. He used the materials obtained from the sneak attack on Xiapi to arm his men and continue to recruit soldiers. In a short period of time, he recruited more than 10,000 soldiers. These soldiers may not have enough combat power, but they are used to defend the city.  More than enough.

    It can be said that Gongsun Zan became stronger the more he fought, but as for Cao Chun, most of his troops were restricted to Pengcheng and could not be used, so the more he fought, the fewer he became.

    Originally, his strength was far superior to Gongsun Zan, but he tied himself up and prevented his strength from being fully unleashed. In the end, Gongsun Zan took advantage of him, and the strength of both parties changed dramatically.

    Cao Chun could no longer hold on, and Cao Cao¡¯s supportWhen he didn't see him for a long time, Cao Chun had to send someone to Xudu to ask for help.

    After receiving Cao Chun's request for help, Cao Cao could not calm down. The loss of Xuzhou had a great impact on Cao Cao.  With Xuzhou here, he can be said to be threatened by Liu Zhe from the north, but without Xuzhou, he will be threatened from both sides.

    Xuzhou¡¯s strategic location was too important to Cao Cao. Even if he couldn¡¯t control the entire Xuzhou, he couldn¡¯t let all of Xuzhou fall. He still had to control at least one area.

    Xiapi City is gone, Donghai Kingdom is gone, Langya County is gone, Guangling County is in the hands of Gongsun Zan, Cao Cao only has a single seedling left in Pengcheng, so Pengcheng must be defended.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
