    Yecheng.

    After Cao Cao received the news that Xiahou Dun was killed in battle, he fell ill.  He had a severe headache, and even the palace doctors were helpless.

    Cao Pi, Cao Zhi, Jia Xu, Chen Qun, Cheng Yu and others all gathered around the hospital bed, looking very anxious.

    "Bo Ning" Suddenly Cao Cao spoke.

    "My Lord, Boning" Cheng Yu was puzzled. Man Chong had already died in the Battle of Nanyang. Why did Cao Cao mention him now?

    "Wen Ze" Cao Cao said again.

    "This" Jia Xu, Chen Qun, Cheng Yu and others looked at each other, and they understood that it was Cao Cao who remembered these two people.

    "Zixiao, Miaocai, Yuan Rang, Gao Xuan"

    "My lord" Upon hearing this, Cheng Yu and others had tears in their eyes.

    "Father, please take care of yourself and don't be overly sad"

    "Alas, it was my fault that you all died"

    "My lord, it's my subordinate who is incompetent" Jia Xu also felt extremely guilty.

    These generals mentioned by Cao Cao, Yu Jin, Man Chong, Cao Ren, Xiahou Dun, Xia Houyuan, and Zang Ba, are all the right-hand men of the lord, the cornerstone of his hegemony, and famous generals in the Han Dynasty. However, in these short few years, they have fought one after another.  die.  In addition to the surrendered Zhang Xiu, Zhong Yao, Wang Ping, Guo Huai, as well as Xue Ti, Jia Tu, and Sun Li, can it be said that Liu Cong is really the lord's nemesis?  Every battle was a defeat, and the losses were heavy.

    Jia Xu is said to have counted everything, but he suddenly discovered that he could count Pang Tong and Fazheng, but he could not count Liu Cong.  He also carefully studied several battles with Jingzhou and found that Liu Cong's military use was so imaginative that there was no trace of the antelope's horns!

    Cao Cao looked at Cao Pi and Cao Zhi in front of him, feeling even sadder.

    The defeat in the Battle of Chibi cost Cao Cao his best opportunity to unify the world.  Now on the surface, it seems that he is still in the north and has the strongest strength.  But what about the future?  Whether it is Cao Pi or Cao Zhi, who can be Liu Cong's opponent?  With people like them here, we always suffer losses.  If they are gone, can the northern hegemony be maintained?

    To hold on, you must have talents, but this talent

    "Wen He, who is this Gan Ning?" Cao Cao asked as he sat on the bed with the support of two maids.

    "This man was originally a water bandit on the Yangtze River, and later defected to Jiangxia Huangzu. After Huangzu was destroyed by Jiangdong, he disappeared. Until last year, he suddenly appeared under the command of Liu Cong, the shepherd of Jingzhou, and was named General Pingdong and Commander-in-Chief of the Navy.  .¡±

    "He was born a thief and bandit, but Liu Cong was able to classify him as General Pingdong and the Commander-in-Chief of the Navy. Changwen, what's wrong with this meritocracy?"

    "My lord" Chen Qun hurriedly knelt down, "My subordinate is wrong"

    Cao Cao's promotion of meritocracy hurt the interests of the family, and the important ministers headed by Chen Qun and other Yingchuan clan were naturally opposed to it.  Therefore, Cao Cao had to give in.  And he knew that after him, whether Cao Pi or Cao Zhi inherited the hegemony, they would no longer be able to implement meritocracy.

    "If it weren't for Gan Ning, how would Jingzhou's predicament be resolved this time?" Cao Cao looked at the people, and they all lowered their heads.

    Jia Xu¡¯s plan to secretly form an alliance with Jiangdong is not without poison. For Jingzhou, it is a drain on the bottom of the pot.

    The four-pronged army attacked Jingzhou with great momentum and was about to succeed. However, they did not expect that Gan Ning would lead a naval force across the Yangtze River, forcing Sun Quan to flee to Wu County. All the troops had to withdraw, resulting in all previous efforts being wasted and all the achievements were in vain.

    Jingzhou¡¯s strategy was obviously guided by an expert and was very correct.  But without Gan Ning, they couldn't implement it.

    "It is said that Liu Conghui knows people well and has many talents under his command. But I also know that you are all great talents. But if we cannot work together and put aside the concept of family background, how can we be Liu Cong's opponent?"

    "My lord, I know my mistake and I have been taught a lesson!" Chen Qun is a great talent, but he is the most important in etiquette and employs people who pay great attention to family status. He is a descendant of the Chen family in Yingchuan, and he has strong strength behind him.

    "Your Majesty, General Xia Houru wants to see you!" At this moment, a soldier came in to report.

    "JunlinJunlin is back, quicklylet him in quickly!"

    "My lord" Xia Houru knelt down in front of Cao Cao's bed as soon as he came in, with tears streaming down his face.

    "Jun Lin, it will be good to come back, it will be good to come back" Cao Cao quickly waved his hand and asked Xia Houru to stand up.

    Although Xia Houru's clothes have been changed, the fatigue on his face has not disappeared.

    When Li Yan led the army to attack Xicheng, Xia Houru escaped from the north gate, then changed into ordinary people's clothes and went to bedIt took a few days to escape back to Yecheng.

    "Jun Lin, what was the specific battle of Yicheng? How did your uncle die in the battle?"

    "My lord, we fell into Zhuge Liang's plan, and my uncle was killed by Guan Yu's formation!"

    "What? Zhuge Liang, Guan Yu?" Cao Cao was shocked when he heard this. The scout's intelligence only said that both the Wei army and the Hanzhong army were defeated by Liu Cong!

    Xia Houru then told what happened.

    "Liu Bei, Zhuge Liang, I will never spare you! Ah" Cao Cao felt a splitting headache when he got angry.

    "My lord my lord"

    "Send to the imperial doctor quickly!"

    Since Liu Cong met Hao Zhao once under the city, the Han army has not left the camp.

    Now is the harvest season on Guanzhong Road. Fazheng and Zhong Yao are busy directing officials to help the people harvest crops.  Since Luoyang had been completely occupied by Liu Cong, these officials also surrendered.

    The 800-mile Qinchuan River in the Wei River Basin is indeed a good place. It was here that the Qin State originated, grew and finally unified the world.

    Although the Wei army was stationed in Chencang and dispersed, they did not dare to leave the city and could only watch the Han army collect military rations from county to county.

    Liu Cong is very leisurely and not in a hurry.  Reports of various battles in Jingzhou came in one after another. Gan Ning caused chaos in Jiangdong, and Wu Hou Sun Quan was so frightened that he fled to Wu Commandery.

    Lu Meng and Lu Su withdrew their troops first. Not only did the four counties of Jiangxia and Jingnan return to Jingzhou, but the four counties of Jingnan also gained hundreds of thousands more people out of thin air.

    During this period, whether a prince was strong or not was closely related to the number of people in his territory.  Although places like Xiliang and Jiaozhou are large in area, the number of people is too small, and there are very few sources of food, grass and soldiers, so the strength of the princes is naturally weak.

    Although Zhou Yu captured Jiangling, the other armies withdrew and Chai Sang was lost. The supply of food and grass became increasingly difficult. In desperation, he had to withdraw his troops.

    Lu Xun also withdrew to Sanjiangkou, and the crisis in Jingzhou was completely over.

    Zhou Yu wanted to retake Chaisang, but Gan Ning had 15,000 troops, built two navy strongholds, and had 5,000 soldiers guarding the city, leaving Zhou Yu with no choice.  During the strong attack, Gan Ning was hit by an arrow again, which made him extremely angry and suddenly fell ill.

    "HaZhou Yu lost his wife and lost his troops!" After receiving the battle report, Liu Cong laughed a few times and went fishing on the Wei River.

    Of course he is waiting for news, waiting for news from Deng Ai.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
