Guandu front line.


    In the camp, Cao Cao looked worried and haggard.


    For a long time, Cao Cao had a feeling that heaven did not fulfill people''s wishes.


    When Cao Cao took over Yanzhou, he took the lead, defeated millions of Qingzhou yellow scarves, surrendered hundreds of thousands of people, and formed the Qingzhou army.


    But the next few years were not so smooth.


    First, because of Chen Gong''s betrayal, his plan to seize Xuzhou died prematurely and was delayed for two years. This delay made the situation very different. When he wanted to expand again, he had nowhere to go except Yuzhou, the sphere of influence of Yuan Shu.


    Liu Biao in Xiangyang has millions of people who covet the land of Huainan. He can''t move. Moving is his sworn enemy. It depends on that Xiangyang has never appointed the governor of Yangzhou. He is waiting for two counties to start.


    It was not easy for Liu Bei and Lv Bu to unite in Xuzhou. Until the key year before last, Liu Bei felt the danger and finally broke with Lv Bu. In addition, Lv Bu''s counter attack eliminated this hidden danger.


    Today, the six prefectures of Yuzhou, except Runan, are all Cao Cao''s territory, but it is still not enough.


    Is Yuzhou rich? There is no doubt that Yuzhou has always been the richest place for the Han Dynasty, including Yanzhou, but it is also the place with the most aristocratic families. Especially in recent years, with frequent wars and unstable political situation, it is difficult for the people to make a living. Even if Cao Cao had implemented the policy of cultivating farmland, he could not restore people''s livelihood in an urgent time.


    If there is a natural disaster and famine, it is more difficult to recover.


    Therefore, compared with Yuan Shao, who occupied the four prefectures, Cao Cao''s strength was too weak.


    In the battle of Guandu, Cao Cao had only 200000 troops, but Yuan Shao had millions of troops. Even if Liu Bei divided 200000 to 300000 in Qingzhou, he is still not Yuan Shao''s opponent and can only rely on geographical advantages to support him.


    But now, Cao Cao feels that he can''t support it. Yanzhou and Yuzhou have been desolate in the past two years. If the stalemate continues, it is estimated that Yuan Shao will not be needed to attack, and Cao Cao will run away.


    "Wen Ruo, I really can''t support it." In the big tent, Cao Cao looked at Xun Yu and looked weak.


    Hundreds of thousands of troops with sufficient food and grass are too difficult to fight. Although many of Yuan Shao''s troops are dirty, with different generals, different combat effectiveness and counselors fighting openly and secretly, as long as Yuan Shao is the backbone and there is no danger of food and salaries, there will be no big problem.


    Cao Cao insisted for two years, and the rear also supported many troops, but up to now it is still less than half of the original. Although more reinforcements were killed, Yuan Shao''s rear support could far exceed Cao Cao''s.


    So Cao Cao felt unable to fight.


    Xun Yu also looks tired. Although he has strong strength, he has reached the realm of supernatural powers, and there are helpers such as Guo Jia and Cheng Yu, but there are more scribes in Jizhou. Tian Feng, Ju Fu, Guo Tu, Feng Ji and Xu you... Those are not good stubbles, which makes Xun Yu tired of dealing with them.


    "It''s been so long. If you give up now, your previous efforts will be wasted." Xun Yu said.


    "Why don''t I know?" Cao Cao smiled bitterly, "if you don''t understand the situation, how long do you think we can support?"


    Xun Yu was silent.


    "Filial piety, what do you think? Shall we surrender? " Cao Cao asked the sick young man who closed his eyes.


    "If you don''t want to give up, there''s actually another way." Guo Jia opened his mouth, causing a burst of cough and gargle, "just a little drinking poison to quench thirst, but also bear the curse."


    "Filial piety, shut up!" Xun Yu''s face suddenly changed.


    "Tell me!" Cao Cao seemed to grasp the straw and ignored Xun Yu''s obstruction.


    "The end of the year has come, and Xianbei and Wuhuan will come to thresh the Grass Valley again." Guo Jia took a sorry look at Xun Yu and said, "if you promise heavy profits, you can lead them south. There will be changes in the rear of Yuan Shao, and there will be changes. Our opportunity is coming. "


    "Of course, it''s not certain whether you can achieve it."


    "OK, that''s it!" Cao Cao also thought of the consequences. His face couldn''t help changing color. Finally, he made up his mind.


    "Lord..." Xun Yu and Cheng Yu wanted to talk to each other, but Cao Cao stopped them.


    "I know your worries," Cao Cao said sincerely, "but this is our last chance. As long as we can solve yuan Benchu as soon as possible and drive these aliens out of the Han Dynasty."


    He didn''t mention what would happen if he failed. Maybe everyone present subconsciously avoided this problem.


    "Tell Liu Bei to give him all Qingzhou and let him win Qingzhou as soon as possible. If he hesitates again, he will shoot and break up."


    ……


    Qi, Linzi.


    After receiving a letter from Cao Cao, Liu Bei also convened the generals to discuss the matter.


    As a private teacher, Liu Bei''s life is better than Cao Cao''s.


    He sent troops from Langya, and had defeated three counties of Beihai, Donglai and Qi. He was in a stalemate with Yuan Tan in Le''an.


    Although Liu Bei''s strength is not as strong as Cao Cao''s, he only temporarily expanded 100000 troops, but Liu Bei''s opponent is not strong! Liu Bei has three supernatural realm masters under his command. Although the quality of the literati is not high, such as the opposite, they have been winning the war.


    Over the past two years, Liu Bei''s strength has not decreased, but improved a lot. Seeing the erosion of Qingzhou, Yuan Shao sent Yuan Tan and his troops to resist Liu Bei''s attack again.


    Compared with Liu Bei, Cao Cao did suffer a lot.


    But now, Liu Bei must pay.


    You can''t just take advantage and do nothing!


    "Cao mengde is really anxious." After reading the letter, Jian Yong said with a smile, "but it''s no use urging him. We can''t get the front battlefield at all."


    "Is he sure to beat yuan Benchu?" Liu Bei asked.


    "It''s impossible. If you have this ability, you can wait until now?" Zhang Fei said.


    "Unless the grain road of yuan Benchu is broken, it is impossible. Yuan Benchu pays too much attention to grain." Mi Zhu said, "there may be external forces involved, but it is impossible. Xiangyang has no sign of moving troops. Who else dares to participate in this war? Expect those people in Xiliang? Or Zhang Yan and Li Le? "


    "No, Zizhong, you also ignored one side of power." Liu Bei''s face suddenly looked ugly.


    "Brother, you mean... How dare he Cao Cao do this?" Zhang Fei roared angrily.


    Growing up in Youzhou, Zhang Fei has seen too many cases of alien bullying Han people. He doesn''t dare to think what will happen if these people arrive in the Central Plains.


    "Cao mengde is a crafty man with a black heart. What can he do to win?" Guan Yu stayed under Cao Cao for some time and had a great say.


    "Third brother, if Cao mengde insists on doing so, we can''t stop it." Liu Bei is also from Youzhou. He knows the harm of alien races. "If you want to settle accounts, you can only wait for the war."


    "Cao Cao, I will never let you go." Zhang Fei repressed his anger and said to himself.


    ……


    Cao Cao''s action power was very fast. He immediately sent people to the Wuhuan departments of Youzhou and promised that as long as they helped themselves defeat Yuan Shao, Youzhou would be assigned to them as a horse farm after the war.


    Originally, Wuhuan was stationed in dahanbian county. Cao Cao wanted to give his territory to himself. Wuhuan was naturally willing, which meant a steady flow of population and wealth.


    Therefore, regardless of the distance to the west of Liaoning, Dayton summoned the departments of Wuhuan to discuss the matter of going south.


    At the same time, the Xianbei ministries also welcomed the envoys of Cao Cao.


    Soon, Xianbei and Wuhuan armies invaded the border and invaded the town. Because most of Youzhou soldiers and horses were transferred to Guandu, Yuan Xi couldn''t stop the Wuhuan army with a large number of internal help. He was soon beaten to Jixian County and hurriedly left the army to escape.


    After the destruction of Youzhou, the troops of Wuhuan and Xianbei continued to go south and enter Jizhou.
