Xuchang, on the main street.
A haggard, travel-worn knight was galloping on his horse.
"Get out of the way, get out of the way.”
"Military emergency report!"
The tall horse galloped in the direction of Sikong Mansion, leaving behind a trail of dust…
At this moment, in Sikong Manor.
Cao Cao and the other strategists had just begun their discussion.
"Wen Ruo, how is the battle between Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zan?”Cao Cao asked.
Xun Yu stepped out and cupped his hands at Cao Cao,""At this moment, Yuan Shao already has the advantage, and Gongsun Zan is retreating. It won't be long before Gongsun Zan is defeated by Yuan Shao!”
Hearing Xun Yu's words, Cao Cao frowned and looked at Guo Jia,""Fengxiao, what do you think?"
Guo Jia walked out." My lord, after Yuan Shao takes Gongsun Zan down, he will definitely make a move on Xuchang. We should prepare for it in advance."”
"Yes!" Cao Cao nodded,"Then what do you think we should do next?"”
Guo Jia thought for a moment and said,"At this time, Xuzhou has already been taken by us." The only threats to Xuchang were Rang City's Zhang Xiu, Western Liang's Ma Teng, and Han Sui!”
"Ma Teng and Han Sui have a deep grudge against each other, and they are two tigers fighting each other. They are self-defensive people, so they are not a big threat to Xuchang. Not worth worrying about!"
"And now, the biggest threat to Xu Chang is Zhang Xiu of Rang City!”
"Zhang Xiu!"
Cao Cao murmured.
At this moment, the scene of Cao Ang and Dian Wei's tragic deaths in Wan City appeared in his mind, and his heart still ached.
But he had to face it.
In fact, Cao Cao had always been planning to attack Zhang Xiu. After all, Zhang Xiu's Rang City was the junction between Jingzhou and Xuchang.
If Yuan Shao unified Gongsun Zan and led his army south, while resisting, Liu Biao took the opportunity to go north and threaten Xuchang, then it would be a bad thing.
Cao Cao looked at Guo Jia again and said,"Fengxiao, how is the progress of the letter of surrender I asked you to draft for Zhang Xiu?"”
Guo Jia replied,"I've already ordered someone to send it over. It's up to Zhang Xiu to decide!"”
"Yes!" Cao Cao nodded.
He had failed to attack Zhang Xiu many times, and Zhang Xiu was a thorn in his heart. If he could summon him to surrender, that would naturally be the best.
If he failed to recruit Zhang Xiu, Cao Cao would definitely attack Zhang Xiu with all his might. He could not let Zhang Xiu become a worry in his battle with Yuan Shao!
Just as Cao Cao was about to launch his plan to recruit Zhang Xiu.
"Report! Military emergency report, urgent!"
An anxious shout came from outside the hall. Cao Cao was stunned and straightened his back, shouting,"Send it immediately!"
Soon after.
A travel-worn scout was brought into the hall.
"What's so urgent?"
Cao Cao looked unhappily at the scout.
" Reporting to my lord, Young Master Cao Jun, he…he…"
The scout had been on his way, and the news was too shocking, so he couldn't finish his words.
"What is it? It was this unfilial son again. What had happened to him?!”
Cao Cao snorted with displeasure.
He was originally discussing the matter of Zhang Xiu's surrender with the civil and military officials in high spirits. Just as he was about to get excited, news of this unfilial son came. How could he not be angry?
A cold aura emanated from Cao Cao.
The other ministers also had helpless expressions. They shook their heads and sighed. That unfilial son of the Cao family was simply incapable of doing anything, but he was more than capable of ruining things.
His lord should be focusing on recruiting Zhang Xiu to surrender, but an unfilial son had been disturbing his lord's mind all day. What was up with this scout?
What could Cao Jun do that could be called a military emergency report?
Cao Cao also looked at this scout who had disrupted his plan. If it was some trivial matter, he wouldn't mind killing this scout.
The scout was clearly frightened by Cao Cao's imposing manner and replied in a trembling voice,"
"Cao Jun…Cao Jun, he took down Rang City!”
Silence!
After the scout finished his words, the conference hall of Sikong Mansion fell into dead silence…
"Can you repeat that?"
After a long silence, Cao Cao suddenly stood up, thinking that he had misheard. He walked to the scout, picked his ears, and asked again.
Under everyone's incredulous gazes, the scout replied in a trembling voice,"
"Cao Jun…Cao Jun, he took down Rang City! And he even refused Sikong's surrender…"
Silence!
The entire hall was still deathly silent.
Cao Cao's entire body seemed to have frozen. He sat on the chair in a daze, his eyes fixed on the scout.
Everyone in the hall was shocked and could not believe it.
After staring at the scout for a long time, Cao Cao silently walked back to his seat and sat down, his eyes lost in thought…
