Mrs. Bian is indeed resourceful, but she interferes with a woman, how dare she make a decision about the current situation?

But she and Cao Cao had three sons, and from the perspective of her mother, she had something to say, so she gritted her teeth and bowed and said, "Mr. Please let me have selfishness. I heard that Lord Liang treats Yuan Shao very well."

Mrs. Bian is a smart person who can stop talking, but she can also make Cao Cao understand.

Liang advocated that since Xiu treated Yuan Shao well, he could allow Yuan Shao's descendants to survive. Then you can definitely do it. Now that we surrender, the Cao family and the Xiahou family can continue.

certainly.

It is also inevitable that the end of being exiled to a wilderness, such as Yanzhou and Liangzhou.

But that's not possible, isn't it?

With such a large force in the Central Plains, the emperor could not let them be arrogant in the Central Plains.

Cao Cao felt a chill when he heard this and was speechless for a long time.

"Go down." Cao Cao sighed and waved his hand.

"No." Mrs. Bian felt a chill in her heart, but she didn't say much, responded softly, and turned around.

She knew that Cao Cao's long sigh was probably unwilling to accept it.

If Cao Cao was willing, he should have sent someone to surrender immediately.

"What a smart woman." Cao Cao looked at Mrs. Bian's back and shook his head slightly. If I had been determined to do my own thing and did not learn from Yuan Shao's surrender.

Then she, my women, and my sons, may not end up well.

"Zhang Xiu, this bastard, is the best in the world." Cao Cao was shocked when he thought of something, and his face turned ugly.

Zhang Xiu did it and sent people to Hebei to rob Yuan Xi’s wife Zhen.

He is really a hungry ghost in lust.

Cao Cao quickly shook his head and adjusted his mentality. If a person dies, he will be unconscious. Where will his wife and children go? What's wrong with handing them over to Zhang Xiu?

The question now is, should I reduce it?

Cao Cao thought for a long time, but after thinking for a long time, his head was almost broken, but he still couldn't figure it out.

"Hu" Cao Cao let out a breath, hesitated for a while, then looked up and said to the outside of the door, "Come."

"What are the lord's instructions?" A waiter walked in and saluted respectfully.

"Summon Cao Chun." Cao Cao said in a deep voice.

"No." The waiter responded and turned around.

Cao Cao immediately asked his maid to come in, change clothes for himself, and helped him sit down in the study, waiting for Cao Chun.

He wanted to ask Cao and Xiahou's opinions.

Should the Cao family and Xiahou family be tied to a chariot and killed Liang Zhuan Xiu with him. The Cao family and Xiahou family are very united. Now Xiahou Dun, Xiahou Yuan and others are guarding outside, so they can't ask them. But if Cao Chun agrees, then others will agree.

If Cao Chun disagrees, it will be useless even if he is unwilling to give up.

Don’t look at Xun Yu, Cheng Yu, Guo Jia, and Zhong Yao, who are outstanding in ability and loyal. But Cao Cao always knew that his roots were the heroes of the Cao family and Xiahou family.

Without them holding military power, Cao Cao would not be Cao Cao.

"Da da da da da."

Cao Chun came soon. Today he was wearing a white wide-sleeved robe and a Liu's crown. He was elegant and elegant. He could not tell that he was a war-produced general.

"Lord." Cao Chun bowed to Cao Cao and showed a very peaceful expression.

The failure of the cavalry duel did make him confused for a long time, but he had already emerged from that state.

Cao Cao looked at Cao Chun with admiring eyes.

Among the Cao and Xiahou generals, the Xiahou Dun he admired the most was Cao Chun.

Although Cao Chun is inconspicuous, he has the destiny of a general.

Cao Hong has a rough personality, while Xiahou Yuan is impatient.

"Zihe, sit down." Cao Cao politely asked Cao Chun to sit down. He did not go straight in, but asked, "What's the situation with the cavalry now?"

"Report to the lord. The last general has sorted out the defeated army and selected three thousand soldiers. Although it is not as good as the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, it is not far from that."

Cao Chun had a little more spirit in his eyebrows and said with a bow.

After the defeat, the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry was no longer established. He eliminated the weak and wounded soldiers, selected strong people, and reorganized them. He still had extremely strong combat power at present.

"Yes." Cao Cao nodded, and he felt slightly convinced.

if.

If they were forced to fight in the south and continue to resist Zhang Xiu, then a cavalry was very important. It represents the possibility of another northern expedition to the Central Plains.

If there is no established cavalry and powerful, then the south can only defend, without the possibility of advancing the Central Plains.

"Zihe. This time I came to you. It's for cavalry, but there is one more thing." Cao Cao told Cao Chun about the matter, and finally raised his head and said to Cao Chun, "What should I do? Please give me an idea."

Cao Chun understands what Cao Cao means.

The Cao family, Xiahou family and Cao Cao were both prosperous and both rich and both rich. Now that they continue to resist Liang and advocate Xiu, the risk is indeed very high.

Cao Chun also hesitated for a moment, and the scene of his wife and children flashed through his mind. But soon he calmed down and bowed to Cao Cao and said, "Meng De. I can only say about this matter. No matter what you do, we will support you. As for whether to continue to resist Zhang Xiu, then we have to ask your original intention. Why did you go out to the Central Plains when Dong Zhuo occupied Luoyang and attack Dong Zhuo?"

With a "boom", a lightning flashed through Cao Cao's mind and then exploded, and the rumbling sound continued. Cao Cao was both shocked and ashamed.

yes.

Why did I have to rebel soldiers to attack Dong Zhuo?

It is precisely because I am the descendant of the Han prime minister Cao Shen, and I am a loyal minister of the Han Dynasty. Although Zhang Xiu is strong now, he still has something to do. The water situation in the south is convenient and can withstand Zhang Xiu's infantry and cavalry.

The Yangtze River and the Huai River are all natural barriers.

The weather in the south is hot, and northerners are prone to diseases when they go to the south. Large-scale military use of troops in the south is a taboo.

Sun Jian was entrenched in the south, and his power was still stable for many years. Countless loyal ministers from the Han Dynasty gathered in the south.

If I withdraw my troops to the south, work together with Sun Jian and Liu Bei, and confront Zhang Xiu in the north and south, and Zhang Xiu sends troops south and the army becomes sick. We can select elite troops to defeat Zhang Xiu, confront the north and south, and even to explore the Central Plains again.

Even if Zhang Xiu died in battle.

Thinking of this, Cao Cao couldn't help but feel heartbroken. It was so powerful that the Liang Dynasty was so powerful that it made him desperate.

The only thing that can cause harm to Zhang Xiu is destiny.

As long as Zhang Xiu dies.

"Zihe. Thank you, I understand." Cao Cao took a deep breath and bowed to Cao Chun with a serious face.

These words are just what Cao Chun said. They are really good teachers and friends. He is not only a military general, but also a clan brother.

"Meng De, you are polite." Cao Chun's face showed a look of relief.

After meeting Cao Chun, Cao Cao felt very calm. He didn't have time to chat with Cao Chun anymore. Now he would not be a good thing to delay for a minute or a second.

Cao Cao sent Cao Chun away first, and then immediately sent someone to invite Cheng Yu, Xun Yu, Guo Jia, Zhong Yao and others to see him.

"Everyone, I decided to abandon the Central Plains and stand against Zhang Xiu with Sun Jian and Liu Bei."

"Now let's discuss how to withdraw troops." Cao Cao looked around the important officials and said in a deep voice.

"Lord is wise." Xun Yu's face showed joy visible to the naked eye, and the first one bowed his hand and said.

Cheng Yu, Guo Jia, Zhong Yao and others did not express their opposition, or were disappointed or depressed. Although Cheng Yu provided three ways to die in the Central Plains, surrender to Zhang Xiu, and fled to the south.

However, providing opinions is the responsibility of the adviser, and the decision-making power is in the hands of Cao Cao. No matter what Cao Cao does, he will support it.

"The withdrawal of troops must be carried out at the same time, secretly."

"Like Xiahou Dun and Cao Hong are in Shanyang County. When they ask them to withdraw their troops, they can only know. If ordinary generals and soldiers know that we have to give up the Central Plains and go to the south, the army may collapse immediately."

"In addition, Sun Jian should be asked to lead his troops north in advance to meet us. After a cavalry battle, Zhang Xiu's cavalry suffered a lot. However, Hu Cheer's 30,000 cavalry was a threat that cannot be ignored. Although Sun Jian was an infantryman, he could help us resist Hu Cheer's cavalry."

Xun Yu had a complete retreat plan in his mind and said to Cao Cao in one breath.

"Yes." Cao Cao nodded when he heard this. He was still very sure of Sun Jian's combat effectiveness. Sun Jian led his troops to fight against Qiang cavalry in Liangzhou, and that was not weak.

Cavalry is powerful as cavalry, and heavy armor infantry also has the function of heavy armor infantry.

Bow and crossbow, heavy armor.

They were defeated soldiers and their morale was sluggish. They were easily collapsed when retreating, and they were even less likely to resist Hu Cheer's 30,000 cavalry.

But Sun Jian can.

"There is nothing to hide from ordinary generals and soldiers. Of course, they cannot be told in advance if they retreat. If they know in advance, someone will tell the Liang army. After retreating to a safe place, let ordinary generals and soldiers know. At that time, it will be up to them to decide whether to go to the south."

After Cao Cao said this, he sighed and said, "If you deceive them, they will also contact Zhang Xiu secretly after going to the south. Instead, it will lead to unstability in the south."

"In other words, this is a test. Those who can follow me to the south are all loyal people to the Han Dynasty. If they go to the south, they will not betray us. For example, Liu Bei."

"What the lord said is." This is a little different from Xun Yu's plan, but he quickly accepted it and nodded.

It takes time to contact Sun Jian and prepare for withdrawing troops. After discussing with the important officials, Cao Cao decided to withdraw his troops a month later.

At the same time, withdraw troops in a planned and organized manner.
