Cao Cao's face was extremely heavy: "Don't Cao know this? If our army advances according to the order, it will be destroyed. If we resist the order, we will inevitably betray our relatives and divorce, and the people's efforts will be together, and the death is coming. This matter is really difficult to deal with, so Liu Yan's orders are changing every day is really hateful."

Guo Jia rolled his eyes and said, "Lord, my subordinates think that this may be Liu He's plan."

"Oh? How do you say this?" Cao Cao asked.

"When Guan Yu and Zhao Yun sent troops to attack Hanzhong, it was early winter. The mountains in Shuzhong were steep and easy to defend but difficult to attack. Advancing troops in winter was actually a strategy for the subordinates. Even with Guan, Zhao's courage was difficult to ascend to the sky. Although Liu Yan was an usurpation and rebel traitor to Liu He, he was just a slight disease and was not a problem. What kind of person Liu He was, how could he not know this? Since he knew, why should he take this risk and rush to march?"

Cao Cao looked thoughtful, and then he suddenly realized: "It's not bad, a word of filial piety makes me suddenly enlightened. It is clear that I know I can't do it, but I must have a deep meaning. This Liu He called him Hanzhong, but in fact, it was to lead me out of Jingzhou."

"Uncle, since I know it was Liu He's trick, I can't obey the orders. Our army now occupy Nanyang and is in full swing. The best way is to recruit new recruits after the beginning of spring, make a concerted effort to advance to Xiangyang."

Cao Shu said in a statement.

Cao Cao glanced at him and smiled and said, "The nephew Anmin is very willing to fight and his courage is commendable. You and An'er are really the talents of my descendants of the Cao family. However, this way of using troops is not just about military tactics, logistics, power, diplomacy, and even the general trend of the world, and people's hearts are closely related to the victory or defeat of the war. This matter needs to be carefully considered."

Cheng Yu sighed lightly: "Liu He received Zen and occupied the great righteousness of the world. Moreover, after he ascended the throne, he worked diligently and loved the people, and was quite popular with the people. He heard that he had recently rectified the court's principles and thunderous means, which shows that our army must also hold the same banner of righteousness if we want to fight against it, otherwise the people of the world and the knowledgeable people will surrender to our army. It was also for this that encouraged Liu Yan to be the emperor. I don't want to be trapped here now. This is really difficult to compete with Liu He. Even if we can escape this disaster, we don't know how many such decrees there will be in the future, but we are afraid that we will be unable to guard against it."

"Huh..." Guo Jia let out a slight surprise.

Cao Cao looked at him and said, "What, what did Fengxiao discover?"

Guo Jia said: "I suddenly remembered that Liu Yan issued an order to attack Jingzhou on that day. Such an order was already a little strange. Now I am urgently ordering our army to attack Luoyang. If we connect it together, it seems... it seems that someone in Yizhou is deliberately opposing our army, so he repeatedly slandered Liu Yan against his lord."

His words obviously made no one think of them.

"Yes, if that's the case, everything will make sense."

Cheng Yu's face was startled and said hurriedly: "Lord, if this happens, our army will be in danger. Liu He is eyeing him covetously, and Liu Yan is obsessed with slander, and he is in trouble with internal and external affairs, and attacks on both sides. Moreover, our army was defeated and its strength is not as strong as before. For the current plan, he can no longer care about his name. Luoyang must never go. He must take down Jingzhou as soon as possible, and then go up the river to advance to Yizhou in the name of clearing the emperor. Then among Liu Yan's sons, he will choose a weak lord and establish a new monarch, and then have the chance to be born."

Cao Cao's face was dark and did not agree immediately, but looked at several other advisers.

"What do you think?"

Xi Zhong stepped forward: "Advance is death, retreat is death. After thinking about it, only Zhongde's plan is the most secure."

"My subordinates also agree with this plan." Guo Jia said at the end.

Jia Xu looked at them but didn't say anything, which made Cao Cao suddenly confused.

"Wenhe has other tricks?"

Jia Xu was unwilling to speak, but when he saw everyone's eyes looking at him, he had no choice but to stand up.

"The subordinates think that the current plan should be one word."

Then he stretched out a finger: "Drag."

After saying that, he looked towards the north.

Cao Cao suddenly opened his eyes wide, his body stood upright in an instant, and he also looked to the north together.

"Yes, what Wenhe said is the most suitable for me."

He said to Cheng Yu: "You don't need to pay attention to Liu Yan's orders, just wait for the opportunity."

Cheng Yu, Guo Jia and Xi Zhong also seemed to remember something, and a look of pride appeared on their faces.

Outside Chenliu City, a burly man with his luggage on his way in a wilderness.

A heavy snow a few days ago has come to this day. Although the snow has begun to gradually dissipate, there is still a piece of snow on both sides of the road.

The strong man walked for a while, looked up at the front, and felt relieved when he saw the huge city, which was already close to him.

"It's almost here. The elder brother and wife are really good. In this cold winter, I have to urge me to come to Chenliu to meet Gao Shun and ask him to take me to Luoyang to apologize to Liu He in order to be valued by the court. Hi, what's this called?"

This strong man is nothing else, he is Dian Wei.

He originally hated Liu He deeply, and he determined that Liu He deceived Dameng and used his intellectual incompetence to work hard for himself. He was simply a traitor and evil person.

But that night, he fought with Deng Yuan and Zhao Yun at his doorstep, especially when he was fighting fiercely with Zhao Yun. Seeing that this man had excellent shooting skills and was calm, he felt a sense of mutual appreciation in his heart. After Zhao Yun explained it several times, Dian Wei vaguely felt that he might have misunderstood Liu He.

After that, his elder brother and the wife who was treated by the miracle doctor Hua Tuo in Luoyang City were always persuading him to clarify the misunderstandings and serve the court in the future. First, he would glorify his ancestors, second, he would show his ambitions, and third, he could fight side by side with Da Meng, which could be called the best of all three.

Later, Gao Shun defeated Cao Cao and occupied Yanzhou. Dian Weisi thought about it and decided to follow the advice of his brother and wife to come to Chenliu to pay homage to Gao Shun. He introduced himself to meet Liu He, the emperor of Han, so he set out here.

At this time, Dian Wei rubbed his stomach, looked at Chenliu's walls, and muttered, "I don't know if this general named Gao is a stingy person. I came to see him thousands of miles away, so don't even want to treat me to a meal. I often heard that the food in the imperial army was excellent, all of which were big white rice, vegetables, and even meat. Even if I received the reward from Zhang Miao Prefect, my family would not be able to live such a good life. If Liu He was really a good person, I surrendered to him and finally could eat and drink well every day. Well, it would be pretty good to think about it."

Thinking of this, he seemed to have smelled the scent of meat, lifted the package on his shoulders, speeding up his pace of progress.
