Xuzhou, Donghai County.

Tancheng was the capital of Xuzhou Prefecture during the period of Tao Qian, and later moved from Liu Bei to Xiapi.

And now, Cao Cao is in charge of Xuzhou.

The Xuzhou Prefecture Prefecture was transferred to Tancheng again.

In addition, he also specially moved the people of Xuzhou to the northeast. The main purpose was to increase the depth of Xuzhou city and thus make a better strategic layout.

Tancheng, in the general's mansion.

At this time, the atmosphere in the upper and lower houses was a little depressed, even solemn.

"Lord, how should our army deal with this battle? Zhuge Liang's third legion is already good, not to mention the two legions of Zhang Liao and Ganning assisted."

"I'm afraid there are nearly 100,000 soldiers in front of it."

Cheng Yu frowned slightly and said with a serious expression.

As soon as these words came out, everyone became even more silent.

Even Cao Cao narrowed his eyes slightly and fell into deep thought. There was no way. Zhang Xiu's power was overwhelming at this moment, and he could not compete with him.

As for the generals under Cao Cao, they all bowed their heads and said nothing. If they had beaten others, Xu Chuxiahou and others would have been shouting.

But when they beat Zhang Xiu, they dare not show off.

Zhang Xiu's slut is like a cheat, and he can't beat him, and he's even trampled on him.

When Xu Chu thought of this, he trembled.

When they beat other people, they can take the lead in charging, but when they hit Zhang Xiu, they are somewhat weak.

After a long silence, Xun Yu pondered and said, "Lord, Zhang Xiu is sitting in Jing, Yang and the three states, and now he has taken over the Central Plains and Yan and Yu states, and he will inevitably sweep across the Central Plains."

"And Xuzhou will surely calm it down."

“There are only three ways right now.”

Speaking of this, Xun Yu paused, looked up at Cao Cao, as if asking.

"Wen Ruo taught me." Cao Cao looked sincere.

"At present, Zhang Xiu has millions of soldiers and tens of millions of civilians. Although our army took down the three Koreans and formed the iron cavalry, and the soldiers and bravery have expanded a little, he is not a match for Zhang Xiu."

"Even if you try your best to fight Zhang Xiu and defeat Zhuge Liang, there will be Huang Zhong, Wen Pin, and countless legions. The battle is hard to win."

"So, Yu thought,"

"First, cede land and pay compensation, abandon the six counties and states in Xuzhou, and only retain Langya and several counties in Qingzhou, so as to retain vitality and wait for an opportunity to fight back."

"I think Zhang Xiuxin's occupation of the Central Plains should not seek too much war, and his main purpose of this battle was to unify the Central Plains and govern with Yuan Shao from the north and south."

"But this battle will shake our army's hearts and the people's hearts are unstable. Yu set it as the worst strategy and forced it to do it."

Xun Yu said carefully word by word.

"I don't agree to the compensation for land cedes."

"Even if I fight to the death, I will not surrender to Zhang Xiu." Cao Cao looked angry. He went to capture the three Hans and was preparing to seek the island country. Isn't these all for a fight?

In the end, does he have to compromise?

"Yes, even if you die in battle, you will not surrender." Xu Huang held the sword and shouted loudly.

"Hmph, although Zhang Xiu is not easy to deal with, he has a big scar on his head. He is afraid of a hammer, and he can't fight to the death." Xu Chu patted his chest and shouted loudly.

The generals also expressed their opinions and shouted loudly.

It must be that the generals under Cao Cao are still loyal, which is much stronger than Yuan Shao.

There are only a few generals who can fight for Cao Cao to death, and there are still many.

"Don't worry, lord,"

"Secondly, migrate the people to the northeast of Xuzhou, and tuck the Langya Kingdom, and even the Beihai Kingdom of Qingzhou. In addition, Tancheng is established as a strong city, with strong walls and clear fields around it."

"In addition, when General Yu Jin retreated, he had taken over Taishan County. There were houses on Taishan County that could store grain, and some plots of land could be planted in it."

"The lord can send a general to carry elite infantrymen, and it is best to be proficient in mountain warriors. He entrenched on Mount Tai, and is a horn with Tancheng, echoing from afar, and guarding the way to go north."

"In this way, the lord can protect the five counties and countries including Langya, Qi, Beihai, Jinan, and Donglai. At that time, they can station troops and civilians here. With the help of the Three Hans and the Evil Matai, they can wait for an opportunity to move."

"No matter how bad it is, the lord can retreat to the three Hans and unify the foreign races in the east such as Fuyu, Goguryeo, Sushen. Yu decided this plan as the central plan."

Xun Yu had a serious face and said seriously.

Cao Cao didn't speak and had a serious face. Do you really want to retreat to Sanhan? No, he doesn't want to, he doesn't want to leave his hometown.

But can you really defend Tancheng and Mount Tai? If you have the chance, the chance is relatively slim.

Of course, perhaps this is the optimal solution right now.

"Three strategies, what about the best strategy!" Cao Cao narrowed his eyes slightly, as if he thought of the three strategies Xun Yu said, and asked curiously.

"Give together the whole family and fight against Zhang Xiu."

"Zhang Xiu occupied most of the fertile land in the world such as Jiangnan and Central Plains. Although it has nothing to do with the terrain of Zhong, it also has the power of Qin swallowing the six kingdoms. If each family swept the snow in front of his own, it would probably last for up to three or five years."

"There will be no other sex in this world!"

"I believe that these Liu Bei, Yuan Shao, Liu Zhang and others also know that, so the best strategy is to challenge Zhang Xiu, and to abandon past grudges and focus on Zhang Xiu."

"Only in this way can there be a glimmer of hope."

"Otherwise, all the princes will just struggle to death and have no chance of winning." Xun Yu said clangly, his eyes as if they were torched. This is the last chance.

Now Zhang Xiu has more than 300,000 troops.

There were even tens of millions of people under his command. With Cao Cao, he could no longer compete with him, and he had no chance of winning. He could only join forces to destroy the embroidery.

Cao Cao's own troops were considered to be from the Three Hans, and there were still 70,000 to 80,000. Although Yuan Shao lost 200,000, he could recruit and mobilize the four states, so it would not be difficult to have a large army of 100,000.

But these soldiers are not elite enough.

In addition, the Wuhuan side should be able to draw some iron cavalry, and it is estimated that they can draw 200,000 troops with Cao Cao. As for Liu Bei and Liu Zhang, it is not difficult for the two of them to draw 150,000 troops.

Only by uniting troops in one place, just like the princes who fought against Dong back then, could they have a chance of victory. But if they had their own ulterior motives, the result would be that the six kingdoms would be destroyed separately.

"Haha, it's simple, but how easy is it? Now all the families are working hard to stabilize, especially Liu Bei. He betrayed me first, so how can I tolerate him?"

Cao Cao was angry and became angry when he thought of this.

At that time, he was kind enough to use him, but in the end this man rebelled against him, which was really disgusting. If he hadn't been his rebellion, how could he be so embarrassed with Guanzhong and his Central Plains?

"Lord, in the face of great trouble, we should abandon past grudges and share honor and disgrace." Cheng Yu persuaded.

"Even if I want, how could they agree? In the end, they still watched Zhang Xiu wipe out Xuzhou? I guess they would not send troops when my Cao Cao's head hangs in Xiangyang City."

Cao Cao was even a little irritable.

He didn't have to think too much. When he was killed, these people were probably still sweeping away the snow in front of the door. No one was willing to do his best, and the Six Kingdoms were destroyed at that time.

"Lord, the matter is up to people. If you sit and wait for death, I am afraid that no one will help you even if the city is broken." Xun Yu said comfortingly.

"But even if you want to implement the best policy, you need to implement the second best policy first and the second best policy."

"But while sending people to discuss the joint military with Yuan Shao, Liu Bei, Liu Zhang and others, they send people to pass on the tricks to Zhuge Liang, saying that our army is willing to cede land and seek peace,"

"This shows weakness and delay the time."

"In addition, the lord needs to send people to move people from all over the country to move to Langya Kingdom, so as to ensure the solid walls and clear the fields, and guard Mount Tai, Tancheng, and wait for the coalition to end the negotiations."

Xun Yu clasped his fists and persuaded him.

"The rest are all fine, but the migration of the people may arouse public anger. Although I have moved in advance after I arrived in Xuzhou, I am dissatisfied with it, but I am trapped in relocating again, I am afraid..."

Cao Cao frowned, not saying it clearly.

But he pointed to food and grass inside and outside.

Now that spring plowing has ended, if the people are moved, it may take a long time for these people to have no source of food crops.

At that time, if you only rely on the government, you will probably not be able to rely on it.

"Lord, Xuzhou still has some grain reserves, so you can last for a while. In addition, you can send someone to Jizhou to transport grain. The people of Jizhou are full of Yin Gu, and the grain has accumulated into mountains."

"I think Yuan Shao should know the key to the problem in front of him and would send some food." Xun Yu thought about this problem and couldn't help but say in a deep voice.

"Oh, Yuan Shao's battle really ruined the world. It's a pity, it's a pity, it's hateful." Cao Cao said for no reason. He was really angry by Yuan Shao.

"Forget it, just do it according to this."

"Cheng Yu, I will leave the matter of moving the people to you. As for forming an alliance with other princes, I will leave it to Xun You. Xun Yu, you are responsible for coordinating all kinds of things in various places."

Cao Cao began to give instructions.

"No," the three of them responded with fists.

After saying that, Cao Cao looked at Cao Ren and other generals again, and couldn't help but speak, "Xiahou Dun, let you be the vanguard general, lead 10,000 troops to Xiaopei."

"No!" Xiahou Dun responded incorrectly.

"Cao Ren, immediately summon the soldiers of various departments to reorganize the army tomorrow. The next day, the fire will start at the third day, and set off at the fifth day. I will send troops to Xiaopei with me, so I must buy time."
