Yanzhou was lost.
Xuzhou is difficult to conquer.
Cao Cao had no choice but to order his troops to retreat from Yanzhou, wanting to take back his foundation.
Early July.
In a huge courtyard in Juan City.
Xiao Nan sat in front of a barbecue grill, mutton skewers sizzling with oil.
At the side, Xu Chu was eating a lamb skewer and taking a sip of iced green plum wine. He sighed and said,"Xinzhi, your cooking skills are much better than the chefs in the residence. Why don't we open an inn?”
"No!"
"In troubled times, merchants can't save their lives!" Xiao Nan shook his head and said lightly.”
"Alright then!"
Xu Chu said in disappointment.
"Young Master!"
"Young Master!"
Gan Mei hurriedly entered the mansion and said anxiously,"Prefecture Overseer Cao has retreated from Xuzhou!"
"As expected!"
Xiao Nan said indifferently.
"Xinzhi, where do you think Cao Gong is now?!" Xu Chu asked with a strange look in his eyes.”
Xiao Nan placed a bunch of meat skewers on the table, took a sip of wine, and said lightly,""Dong County has already lost half of its territory. Cao Cao only has Dong 'e and Nan' fan to defend. Lu Bu's army is gathered in Puyang.”
"Dong Ah?"
Xu Chu scratched his head and asked.
"F * ck!"
Xiao Nan's eyes widened, shocked by Xu Chu's train of thought. She said speechlessly,"He must go to Puyang to attack Lu Bu. Only then can he take back the East County and then Yanzhou. Why is he going to Dong'e now?”
"Eh!"
Xu Chu laughed foolishly.
"Young Master, can Cao Gong win?" Gan Mei asked worriedly.”
" The Cao army has been fighting for several months, and they have rushed back to Yanzhou. Let's not talk about the issue of morale, even the soldiers 'bodies can't withstand it. The defeat of this battle is already destined. In a few days, you will see the Cao army in Juancheng!"”
"Xinzhi!"
Xu Chu said excitedly," You're such a genius. If you join Cao Cao, you'll come up with a plan and I'll help. When the time comes, we brothers will conquer the world and be conferred the title of Marquis of Ten Thousand Families. Wouldn't that be wonderful?!"”
"Soon!"
"Soon!"
Xiao Nan's lips curled into a smile.
If there were no accidents, Cao Cao would ask him to leave his residence after his defeat in Puyang.
Moreover, he also wanted to see how strong Liu Bowen's template was. Zhuge Liang divided the world into three parts, and Xiao Xinzhi unified the country. Perhaps he would be sung in the future!
Dong Ah.
In the county magistrate's mansion.
Xun Yu, Cheng Yu, and Xiahou Dun had ugly expressions.
The chaos in Yanzhou caught people off guard and instantly caused the sky to collapse.
Moreover, Lu Bu's bravery was hard to resist. In just a few days, he had taken down half of East County.
"The two of you!"
Xiahou Dun said helplessly," My lord has arrived at the White Horse and wants to fight Lu Bu. I am a rough man, and you are all talented schemers. What should we do now?"”
"Wait!"
"If my lord wins, it won't be difficult to recapture Yanzhou. If we lose, we'll wait for my lord's decision!" Cheng Yu said in a deep voice.”
"Not bad!"
Xun Yu sighed.
Xu Yan's battle, no one had expected it to turn out like this.
Not only did Cao Cao fail to take down Xuzhou, he also lost Yanzhou. This made Yuan Shao of Piling heave a sigh of relief.
No one understood this childhood friend better than him. If Cao Cao was allowed to dominate Xu and Yan, the war between the two of them would probably begin within a few years.
A few days later.
The Battle of Puyang began.
Although the Cao army had the strength of the Ai soldiers, they were still no match for Lu Bu and his elite army.
Cao Cao was defeated.
Xuzhou had no choice but to retreat, and Puyang was defeated again.
He could only lead his army of less than 20,000 to retreat to Dong 'e.
July 12th.
At the Dong'e County Deputy Manor, everyone gathered once again.
Cheng Yu looked at the defeated soldiers and comforted them,""My lord, the defeat of this battle is not due to human strength, but fate!”
"Destiny?"
Cao Cao's expression turned ashen." If I had known this would happen, I would have listened to you. I would have settled the internal affairs of Pingzhou first before attacking Xuzhou. Now, not only have I failed to attack, but I have also lost Yanzhou. I'm afraid all the vassals are looking at me as a joke!"”
"Hey!"
Cheng Yu sighed.
"Zhongde, it's so hard for you to hide it from me!"”
"What?"
Cheng Yu said blankly.
"Didn't you tell my lord that if he couldn't take down Xuzhou within two months, he would be forced to retreat by the Yanzhou coup?" Xi Zhicai smiled bitterly. It really hasn't been two months, so stop pretending!”
"Me?"
Cheng Yu's expression changed." Zhicai, don't spout nonsense. How could I possibly badmouth the army?!"”
"My lord!"
Xun Yu glanced at the two of them and said in a deep voice,""Now, Lu Bu's army is at its peak. I'm afraid that this small city of Dong 'e can't be defended anymore. Should we go to Nanfan or temporarily move out of Yanzhou?”
"Juancheng!"
"Even if I, Cao Mengde, die on the battlefield, I will die in Yanzhou!" Cao Cao's eyes were cold.”
"Juancheng?"
Xun Yu paused.
"What's wrong with Juancheng?" Cao Cao asked as he sat on the chair.”
"I'm fine!"
Xun Yu smiled bitterly." There's nothing wrong with this place. It's just that the person the Lord asked me to keep an eye on moved to Juancheng after the army left. Moreover, he didn't sell it in the Chen Liu residence. It seems that he wants to move back in the future!"”
"What?"
Cao Cao and Dian Wei stood up abruptly.
Especially Cao Cao, he had decided to go to Juancheng at the last minute, and it was not something he had expected.
However, why did Xiao Nan go there? Could it be that there really were gods born with knowledge in this world?
