    The crisis in Guangling was resolved, and Liu Ke spent a lot of money.

    The first thing is the arrows. The 600,000 arrows Guo Jia mentioned at the beginning have been almost used. There is a big gap between the arrows and the expected ones. There are very few arrows that can be recycled.

    In addition, the armor and weapons sent by Yuan Shao are worth millions of gold.

    But, it¡¯s all worth it.  The infrastructure of Guangling County has not been damaged and has been completely preserved.

    If the damage is serious, it will cost more than one million gold to rebuild.

    "Get ready, we will set off for Runan." Liu Kedao.

    "If Yuan Shu of Runan can still persist, our army can rest for three days before setting off." Liu Ye said.

    It may be true that Runan can persist, but Liu doesn't want to wait until that time.  Being able to control the battle outside Yangzhou is the greatest blessing.

    "Yangzhou has its own rules and efficiency." Liu Ke replied to Liu Ye.

    This sentence was profound. Liu Ye thought about it for a long time before he fully understood it, and he admired Liu Ke more and more.

    Liu Ke left all the second-line troops behind and set off with only 100,000 main battle regiments.

    In order to prevent Liu Bei from making a comeback, Guangling's defenders cannot be spared.

    Cao Cao¡¯s long-term siege and Liu Ke¡¯s sudden attack left only 150,000 troops. Liu Ke sent 100,000 troops, which was enough in quantity.

    The North Route Army was defeated and the Yangzhou Army was marching towards Runan.

    These two pieces of news were like a bolt from the blue.

    Cao Cao was so upset that he ordered the siege to be stopped today.

    "Yuan Benchu ??has failed more than he has accomplished, so you shouldn't trust him!" Cao Cao hammered the table with his fist.

    Xi Zhicai had long expected that the situation would change, but unfortunately he did not expect that Yangzhou actually persuaded Yuan Shao to rebel and succeeded.

    Thanks to Yuan Shao's efforts, Liu Bei and Gongsun Zan lost their troops and were unable to fight again.

    Yuan Shao then announced Liu Bei and Gongsun Zan's ambition to plot Jizhou to win everyone's sympathy, but the effect was still a little bit.

    But from Cao Cao's point of view, even if Yuan Shao rebelled, he wouldn't be able to cleanse himself by jumping into the Yellow River.

    "Now, the Marquis of Dongyang can concentrate his forces to deal with us. The situation is critical." Xun Yu said.

    "Tell me what you think." Cao Cao tried his best to calm down.

    "My lord, let's withdraw our troops and move the capital to Chang'an." Xun Yu suggested.

    ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????Is this a coward?

    Now that Chenliu is the temporary capital, it is very close to Xuzhou and not far from Runan. It is indeed not very suitable.

    And Luoyang was burned twice. Even after two years of repairs, it was still in tatters. Cao Cao was embarrassed to let Emperor Xian live in it.

    The only suitable place is Chang'an.

    "What happens after the capital is moved to Chang'an?" Cao Cao asked again.

    "Now that our army has suffered little loss, we should retreat as soon as possible to preserve our strength and capture Liangzhou. After capturing Liangzhou, our army can attack the Western Regions," Xun Yu said.

    The Western Region is infinitely vast, and there are infinite possibilities there.

    Xun Yu¡¯s suggestion is not unreasonable. Cao Cao has no choice but to lose his temper.  The only loss was Yanzhou.

    Yanzhou is Cao Cao¡¯s foundation. He didn¡¯t want to give up easily, so he turned to Xi Zhicai.

    "Wen Ruo's plan requires great courage, but it can avoid fighting with Yangzhou and is indeed beneficial to our army in a short period of time. However, the purpose of our army joining the alliance is to suppress the Marquis of Dongyang and seize the world!" Xi Zhicai  Authentic and full of emotion.

    Xun Yu listened intently and said, "I would like to hear the details!"

    "Besides my lord, the only princes who can compete with Dongyang Hou are Yuan Shao of Hebei and Sun Ce of Jingzhou. If my lord regresses, Sun Ce will be unable to hold on alone, and I'm afraid he won't be able to hold on for long. By then, Dongyang Hou will go north to capture Xuzhou and Qingzhou. Three years later  , capture Jingzhou and Yuzhou, and advance to Yanzhou, what can we do?" Xi Zhicai analyzed.

    Xun Yu understood what Xi Zhicai meant. The Yangzhou Group would develop into a behemoth. It would not be possible to solve the problem by staying in one corner, and sooner or later it would face the problem.

    ¡°However, he still has his own ideas.

    "Now, Yuan Shao has withdrawn his troops and preserved his strength. In the whole of Hebei, only Liu Yu is his stumbling block. I believe that with Yuan Shao's ability, Hebei will be wiped out within ten years. And what about us?" Xun Yu asked rhetorically.

    What Xun Yu said made sense, and Cao Cao also had a headache.  With the land in Hebei, Yuan Shao had the capital to fight against the Marquis of Dongyang, but what did Cao Cao have?

    Should Sun Ce be sacrificed?, in exchange for your own development time?

    With Liangzhou and the Western Regions, Cao Cao can attack when he advances and defend when he retreats. It would be even better if he could capture Hanzhong.

    "The Marquis of Dongyang is powerful. Avoiding can't solve any problems. He will only become stronger." Xi Zhicai said.

    "Now, without the three princes, it is impossible to overthrow Yangzhou. Even if the lord wins a battle, Yangzhou will only be injured. And once we lose, we will be doomed." Xun Yu said.

    If it were the six princes, it would still be possible to destroy Yangzhou, but now the hope is slim.

    The only place that can weaken Yangzhou is for Liu Yan to capture Jiaozhi and Sun Ce to capture Nanhai and control the entire Jiaozhou.

    Then Sun Ce continued to fight in Yangzhou in the South China Sea

    Cao Cao's army has no benefit at all. The only benefit is that it can push Sun Ce out and compete with Yangzhou.

    I have a headache!

    Now, Cao Cao's army is facing another crisis.  The funny thing is that the last crisis was solved with the help of Marquis Dongyang.

    "Miaocai, Yuan Rang, what do you two think?" Cao Cao said, starting to ask the generals for their opinions.

    "I will do whatever the lord says, and hit wherever you tell me." Xiahou Dun said honestly and honestly.

    "I'm not asking you to show your loyalty!" Cao Cao laughed and scolded, and then looked at Xia Houyuan.

    Xia Houyuan was much calmer and said: "Our army will guard the camp and wait for Sun Ce's army to break through."

    This is a good idea, but this kind of opportunistic thing cannot be done too much.

    Now, the only ally who can come in handy is Sun Ce.  Liu Yan, an old fox, might not necessarily help Sun Ce after taking over two-thirds of Jiaozhou's territory.

    Furthermore, the territories he attacked were all far away from Yangzhou, and there was Sun Ce in front of him to help him shelter from the wind and rain.

    Cao Cao suddenly felt a little envious of Liu Yan.  At the same time, he also felt a little regretful. He wanted to leave a little illusion to Yuan Shu, and the situation would not be so bad.

    How can this Yuan Shu be so capable at critical moments?

    If nothing else can be said, if Yuan Shu can be fooled into joining the Allied Forces, Lujiang and Jiujiang counties will definitely be defeated.  Then 700,000 troops surrounded Dongyang City. What could the Marquis of Dongyang do to resist?

    Unexpectedly, millions of allies have been defeated by Yuan Shu!

    Cao Cao was lamenting. His counselors knew it well but did not dare to bring it up.

    Because this was the biggest mistake of the alliance leader, which led to the current situation.

    If God gives him another chance, Cao Cao will definitely deceive Yuan Shu. Unfortunately, there is only one chance, and Cao Cao chose the opposite side.

    The current crisis for Cao Cao's army is due to Yuan Shao's insidiousness, which led to the defeat of the Northern Route Army, and Cao Cao's arrogance, which he felt that Yuan Shu was nothing more than a mantis in front of a million-strong army.

    In fact, Yuan Shu only needs to block Cao Cao.

    Moreover, as long as Cao Cao chooses to send troops from Xuzhou, he can ease the conflict between Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zan.

    Why did he get excited and want to teach Yuan Shu a lesson?  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
