Talents such as Jiang Ji, Sima Yi and Kuai Yue understand why Cao Cao did not get angry and take the responsibility on himself.
Cao Cao wanted to take this opportunity to cheer up his men and restore their confidence.
The defeat of Xia Houyuan and Cao Xiu just now caused a great blow to the others in the camp.
Especially Cao Xiu¡¯s Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, this is the trump card that Cao Cao has high hopes for, and it is also the trump card that others believe can win.
But this trump card was hit as soon as it was revealed, causing the cavalry archers led by Taishi Ci to deal a severe blow, which greatly damaged the confidence of Cao Cao's men.
¡°I have to say that Cao Cao is indeed a hero, he knows how to control his subordinates and understands their mood.
When everyone was frustrated, Cao Cao decisively suppressed his anger and changed his strategy to regain the confidence of his men and boost their morale.
If Cao Cao does this, the next battle will be difficult.
"Yes, my subordinates will definitely defeat them next time." Cao Xiu looked at Zhang Fei who was still yelling and cursing outside, with a ferocious look on his face and gritted his teeth.
Although Xia Houyuan did not express his position, his face was still firm. The next time he met his brother-in-law, he would definitely win.
"Okay, let's go get busy."
Cao Cao said: "Liu Zhe's reinforcements are coming, and he himself will be here soon. Everyone must be more vigilant and cheer up. We must not let Liu Zhe make a sneak attack."
"Here!"
After what Cao Cao said just now, everyone's confidence has returned and their morale has increased. They loudly agreed, and then went down to work on their own affairs full of energy and enthusiasm.
After everyone dispersed, only Sima Yi, Jiang Ji, Kuai Yue, and Man Chong were left around Cao Cao. Cao Cao suddenly said to Man Chong: "Bo Ning, I need you to go to Pengcheng."
"Going to Pengcheng?"
Man Chong was puzzled by Cao Cao's words, but Sima Yi next to him showed surprise, as if he had guessed the reason why Cao Cao asked Man Chong to go to Pengcheng.
"Do you want your subordinates to bring reinforcements?" Man Chong asked.
"No."
Cao Cao shook his head and said, "Go and bring Sun Cheng and the others here."
Now everyone understood what Cao Cao meant, and they looked at Cao Cao in surprise again.
Although Cao Cao said he was bringing Sun Cheng here, he actually wanted Man Chong to monitor them and bring them here so that Sun Cheng and the others could not escape.
The reason why Sun Cheng and others were brought here was not to let Sun Cheng help him defeat Liu Zhe, but just in case, just in case he couldn't defeat Liu Zhe.
Because the reason Liu Zhe went to war this time was to get Cao Cao to hand over Sun Cheng and those people.
Cao Cao used Sun Cheng as his final bargaining chip. Once he lost to Liu Zhe, he would immediately throw Sun Cheng out.
Looking at Cao Cao's expressionless face, everyone understood that in fact, the defeat just now had the greatest impact on Cao Cao, and the one who suffered the greatest loss of confidence was also Cao Cao.
Cao Cao felt unsure. He was already worried that he would not be able to defeat Liu Zhe. He was looking for a way out for himself.
No one spoke, and no one offered advice.
Everyone knows what impact handing over Sun Cheng and those people will have on Cao Cao, and Cao Cao also knows it.
But Cao Cao still wanted to do this, which shows that Cao Cao has thought it through very clearly, and persuasion is of no use.
"Be careful in everything, don't let any news leak." Cao Cao warned Man Chong.
"Subordinate"
Man Chong looked at Cao Cao, and finally said with determination: "Understood!"
Man Chong knew that this was related to Cao Cao's future, and he must not allow any accidents.
"Prime Minister, what should we do next?" Jiang Ji asked from the side after Man Chong left with the mission.
what to do?
Cao Cao's face suddenly turned ugly again.
The purpose of his coming here was to capture Yanjin City, but now Liu Zhe's reinforcements have arrived. The fact that he lost the battle today made him understand that the possibility of recapturing Yanjin City is very slim.
Now it seems that the only way in front of Cao Cao is retreat.
If it had been anyone else, he would have retreated, but Cao Cao was not an ordinary person. He gritted his teeth and said, "I am just here waiting for Liu Zhe to arrive."
From the map, if you take Yanjin City as the center, Guandu is on the left and Baima is on the right, the three places echoed each other. If Cao Cao retreated, Guandu and Baima Hui would lose their echo and would be easily captured by Liu Zhe's men one by one.
" Losing Yanjin City is already serious, but it is not so serious that it cannot echo Guandu and Baima.
If Cao Cao retreats, leave this place completely to Liu Zhe. Liu Zhe can easily use Yanjin City as his base, then radiate his sphere of influence, and finally cover the entire south bank of the Yellow River.
By then, Cao Cao will not only lose Yanjin City.
Once Liu Zhe establishes a firm foothold in Yanjin City and his strength radiates, Cao Cao's territory will be slowly eaten away by Liu Zhe.
Cao Cao believes that Liu Zhe has this ability just because he is Liu Zhe.
Therefore, Cao Cao knew that he could not retreat. Not only could he not retreat, but he also had to send troops and horses to come.
