    He Yan noticed the smile in Sima Yi's eyes, and he was furious. But at this time, he was the one who was slapped in the face, so he could only hold in his breath.

    In fact, it was not just He Yan who was slapped in the face, many people here were also slapped in the face. Just now many people were complimenting Cao Cao, flattering Cao Cao, saying that Liu Zhe could not do anything to Cao Cao.  The result was a slap in the face.

    Liu Zhe did not send anyone to attack here, but instead went to Chenliu.

    "Why did they appear in Chenliu?" Cao Cao roared.

    Chen Liu now has 30,000 defenders, and the county soldiers are only about 50,000.

    If attacked by a large army, the defenders would not be able to hold on for long.  Chenliu is a big city, not a small city. There are too many places to defend, and 50,000 soldiers and horses are simply not enough.

    If Liu Zhe runs to attack Chen Liu, Chen Liu will indeed be in danger.  But Cao Cao couldn't understand why Liu Zhejun could appear in Chenliu?

    The three ferry crossings of Baima, Yanjin and Guandu are used to prevent Liu Zhe's army from going south.  After Yanjin was captured, Cao Cao quickly led his army to fight here and resist Liu Zhe personally.

    Cao Cao thought that he was here to echo Baima Guandu. The three places were like a wall. By blocking Liu Zhe here, he could keep the place behind him safe and sound.

    Now it seems that this wall of his is full of loopholes, and Liu Zhe easily crossed it and appeared in the rear.

    "Maybe Liu Zhe sent people to surround Guandu, and then sent people to cross Guandu and kill Chen Liu." Sima Yi said.

    "Are you kidding? Isn't he afraid that his retreat will be cut off? Or does he assume that General Yu Jin does not exist?" He Yan retorted with a sneer.

    Guandu is still in the hands of Cao Cao. If Yu Jin of Guandu suddenly comes out, Liu Zhejun who killed Chenliu will face the risk of having his food and grass cut off and his retreat route cut off.

    "Then tell me, how did Liu Zhe's people show up in Chenliu?"

    Sima Yi responded mercilessly, saying, "What's more, does General Yu Jin dare to come out?"

    With Le Jin¡¯s example, both Yu Jin and Li Dian were cautious and did not dare to kill at will.  They still have a chance if they stick to it, but if they come out and are ambushed, they really have no chance.

    He Yan was speechless for a moment, Sima Yi's words made more sense than his.

    Liu Zhe's army was besieging the city outside, and Yu Jin did not dare to come out at all.  Guandu was surrounded and turned into an isolated island. Liu Zhe's people took a detour and Yu Jin didn't know at all.

    "Prime Minister, the discussion now is not about how Liu Zhe's people showed up in Chenliu, but what to do now?" Jiang Ji spoke up, stopping He Yan and Sima Yi from continuing to fight.

    Then, everyone saw Cao Cao covering his head with his hands. People who were familiar with Cao Cao knew that Cao Cao had another headache.

    Liu Zhejun who appeared in Chenliu suddenly became a serious problem for Cao Cao. If they were not eliminated, Cao Cao would have trouble sleeping and eating.

    But it is not that simple to eliminate them. There is Liu Zhe's army in Yanjin right in front of him. Moving away the soldiers and horses will weaken the strength at hand, which is irresistible.

    Once again we are in a dilemma.

    The last time he was in a dilemma, Liu Zhe sent people to attack Baima and Guandu, hoping that Cao Cao would divide his troops.  Cao Cao took advantage of Liu Zhe's inattention and secretly attacked Liu Zhe's camp, causing great losses to Liu Zhe.

    Now Cao Cao has no choice but to repeat his old trick. Unless Liu Zhe's brain is kicked by a donkey, Cao Cao will have a chance.

    Just when Cao Cao had not thought of a way, another piece of bad news came.

    "Prime Minister, Prime Minister"

    A soldier staggered over to report: "No, it's not good."

    "What are you worried about?"

    Seeing his soldiers in such a mess, Cao Cao felt angry and said angrily: "How can you be so embarrassed? Could it be that the sky is falling?"

    Cao Cao didn¡¯t believe there could be any bad news. He didn¡¯t believe there could be news worse than Liu Zhe¡¯s men appearing in Chenliu.

    "Food and grass, food and grass have been robbed." The soldier finally told the news.

    "What?" Cao Cao jumped up again.

    Cao Cao, who was scolding the soldiers for being panic just now, acted even more panicked than the soldiers.

    If hearing Liu Zhejun appear behind him just now touched one of Cao Cao's nerves, this news now touched ten of Cao Cao's nerves.

    Food and grass are the basis for soldiers to continue fighting. Without food and grass, no matter how powerful and powerful the soldiers are, it is useless.

      The food and grass eaten by Cao Cao's soldiers and horses were transported from Xudu, usually once every three days.

    Now that Liu Zhe's people have robbed the food and grass this time, Cao Cao only has one day of food left. Even if he saves a little, he can only eat it for two days.

    As long as the third day comes, the soldiers will go hungry.

    The expressions of the people present also changed. Without food and grass, they would also be hungry.

    Once there is no food and grass in the camp, Cao Cao's soldiers will collapse first without Liu Zhe coming to kill them.

    After learning the news, Cao Cao knew that he had no way to continue. His rear was unstable, his food and grass were robbed, and he couldn't defeat Liu Zhe from the front. What else could he do but bow his head?  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
