Cao Cao immediately summoned all the ministers to discuss the annexation of the six counties and eighty-one prefectures of Jiangdong.

Xun Yu stepped out and said, "Prime Minister, now we should send an army to the Chongzhou border to guard against Lu Bu while fighting against Yuan Shao!"

"Prime Minister..."

Many strategists have made their own explanations.

However, Cao Cao was not very satisfied.

He couldn't help but miss Guo Jialai very much. If Guo Fengxiao was by his side, he would definitely be able to give himself an excellent solution.

Cao Cao didn't know whether Guo Jia was alive or dead. He sent a spy to investigate, but there was no news about Guo Jia.

It’s like Guo Fengxiao has evaporated from the world!

Now, the battle between Cao Cao and Yuan Shao is still in progress, and there is no large number of troops to prevent Lu Bu.

He couldn't help but fall into anxiety.

Through the battle in Xia Pi, Cao Cao met a brand new Lu Bu, a talented and sharp-minded Lu Bu, which was very terrifying!

Cao Cao took a deep breath and looked at Sima Yi, who had not spoken. This was the talent he sent to invite and used some means to invite him.

Perhaps because of the sudden appearance of Ye Huai, the "butterfly", a flap of his wings, a butterfly effect occurred, and Sima Yi also took office in advance.

Some people and things in the Three Kingdoms also changed and no longer developed according to the original trend.

"Zhongda, do you have any opinions?" Cao Cao asked.

Sima Yi then stood up, bowed his hand and said half-deadly: "Prime Minister, I think we don't have to take care of Lu Bu at the moment, let alone send one army and one soldier to the border of Chongzhou. We should work hard to deal with Yuan Shao and eliminate him!"

"Why did Zhongda say this?" Cao Cao said.

Other civil officials and generals also focused their attention on Sima Yi.

Sima Yi said: "Prime Minister, Lu Bu annexed the six counties and 18 prefectures in Jiangdong. The most terrifying person should be Liu Biao, Jingzhou and Yuan Shu, Yangzhou.

If I expected it was right, now Liu Biao and Yuan Shu should stop their troops and form an alliance to fight against Lu Bu, who had not yet established a foundation in Jiangdong!

At this moment, Lu Bu was facing the two powerful princes, so he probably couldn't take care of himself, and had no time or ability to invade our Central Plains.

Therefore, I think that the Prime Minister's energy should be concentrated in the north and the battle with Yuan Shao.

As long as the Prime Minister defeats Yuan Shao and obtains his territory, the Prime Minister can become the largest prince in the world, with a force of at least 400,000. At that time, it will not be too late to deal with Lu Bu!"

Sima Yi's words opened a window for Cao Cao, making him feel enlightened.

"Hahaha! OK, Zhongda said it well!" Cao Cao laughed.

Xun Yu still stood up and said, "Prime Minister, this matter is just Sima Yi's guess. If Lu Bu sends troops to attack me, and the Prime Minister will use his main force to fight Yuan Shao, then I will be in danger!"

"Okay, I have my own complicity!" Cao Cao said.

Five days later.

Cao Cao's spies brought back news that Liu Biao and Yuan Shu had already stopped their troops and formed an alliance to send 220,000 troops to attack Lu Bu in Jiangdong.

"What a Zhongda! He guessed everything!" Cao Cao said in admiration.

After receiving this news, all the ministers also looked at Sima Yi with admiration.

As a result, Cao Cao could do his best to deal with Yuan Shao.

Although Yuan Shao's troops were much stronger than Cao Cao, Cao Cao was not afraid!

Yuan Shao was ambitious and talented, lacked courage, mean and ruthless, stubborn and self-righteous, had many soldiers but had unclear commands, and was arrogant but had different government orders.

In addition, if Cao Cao wants to get the world, then Yuan Shao is a hurdle that he cannot overcome no matter what.

Cao Cao immediately made important arrangements and sent generals to lead elite troops from Langyuan to Qingzhou, occupy Qi, Beihai and other places, restrain Yuan Shao, and prevent the Yuan army from attacking Xudu from the east;

Cao Cao personally led his troops to Liyang, Jizhou... At the same time, he built a fortress in Guandu area with his main force to block Yuan Shao's attack from the front...

At the moment when Liu Biao and Yuan Shu fought against Ye Huai, a war related to the northern ownership of the land of China was also in full swing.

If Cao Cao wins this battle, he will become the overlord of the north and admire the world.

...

Jiangdong, Jianye, and the provincial governor's office.

Ye Huai sat upright in the main seat, exuding a domineering aura of contempt for the world.

He had already obtained news through the Jinyiwei that Liu Yuan formed an alliance and led a 220,000 army to attack him.

Ye Huai looked around the generals and said, "How should this marquis deal with the Liu Yuan coalition?"

In the following time, the generals expressed their opinions, and Pang Tong also gave suggestions.

After hearing this, Ye Huai said majesticly: "The navy admiral Shi Lang obeys the order!"

"I'm here!" Shi Lang walked out of the queue and said.

Ye Huai said in a deep voice: "I will lead two treasure ships and twenty ships to form a fleet to the direction of Jiangxia, Jingzhou to block the Jingzhou Navy led by Huang Zu! After success, he searched along the river to Jianye, and sank Liu Biao's grain transport fleet, so that they could not transport grain and grass through water!"

"The last general will take the order!" Shi Lang clasped his fists and left the hall.

Ye Huai continued: "Xue Rengui, Zang Ba obeys the order!"

"The last one will be there!" The second one will be removed.

Ye Huai said: "I will let you and Mr. Pang guard Jiangdong together and follow the arrangements of Mr. Pang!"

"The last general will receive the order!" The two of them respectfully accepted the order!

Ye Huai continued: "Gao Shun, Zhang Liao, Qin Qiong obeyed the order!"

"The last one will be here!" The three generals will be out of the list

Ye Huai said in a deep voice: "You three follow me and lead the camp and 20,000 elite troops back to Xuzhou, giving Yuan Shu another invasion to the army of Xu and Erzhou, and hitting the head-on attack!"

"Yes, lord!" Qin Qiong, Gao Shun, and Zhang Liao bowed.

After the deployment was completed, Ye Huai led 3,000 camps, 2,000 Xuanjia Army (not summoned), etc. to Xuzhou.

There were Pang Tong, Xue Rengui and others in charge in Jiangdong, and there were more than 100,000 troops. Although these troops were mainly recruited, Ye Huai was not worried about Jiangdong at all.

There were not many soldiers in Xuzhou, and they were scattered to guard various cities. Facing Yuan Shu's 70,000 troops, Ye Huai was a little worried.

So, he personally led the elite troops to help.

...

Xia Pi City.

Chen Gong personally took charge of this city, and this city is the gateway to Xuzhou and has always been a place that military strategists must fight for.

Chen Gong arranged 7,000 troops here, and Xiaopei and Xuzhou City each had only 1,500 soldiers.

Yuan Shu's subordinates Ji Ling, Yuan Yin and Yuan Huan, led an army of 70,000 and had launched a three-day and three-night attack on Xia Pi City.

At this time, the defenders in Xia Pi City were reduced to 3,000, and more than half of them died in battle. The situation was very critical.

If there is no strong support, you can only hold on for two more days at most.

Chen Gong was also covered in blood and was even injured. Several generals around him were also denied the lottery, but they did not retreat.

Yuan Shu's army lost about 10,000 troops during the attack, and now there are nearly 60,000 people.

Ji Ling shouted at Chen Gong on the top of the city in a deep voice: "Chun Gong, don't resist, open the city and surrender quickly, otherwise, you will not see the sun tomorrow!"

Chen Gong and others heard the sound, their faces turned ashen and gritted their teeth tightly.

"Ji Ling, if you don't surrender obediently, I will let you not see the sun tomorrow!" At this moment, a loud shout suddenly came from a distance.

The sound rolls, like thunder.

Immediately afterwards, the sound of horse hooves shook the sky and the earth.

I saw a terrifying cavalry rushing into the sky on the road outside Xia Pi City.

The leader is a powerful general riding a maroon-red god-hearted horse and holding a square painting halberd.
