Chapter eight hundred and eighty dead end
It has to be said that Lu Bu's plan was very sinister, or very thoughtful.
As expected, Cao Cao's camp was in chaos due to this incident, and there were soldiers who fled every day.
Even though Cao Cao had already invested a lot, even if he was willing to kill people, there was no way, because all of them were eager to think about their family.
Moreover, in this case, the method of killing people is to fall into the lower level. The more you kill people, the easier it is to make soldiers disinterested.
Under such circumstances, they will only become increasingly disobey Cao Cao's arrangements, and will not temporarily feel very uncomfortable because of the quick knife killing.
Killing people with a quick knife is just a very superficial way. They still have to find a way to stabilize the morale of the army, otherwise the 200,000 army will really run away.
Moreover, Liu Bei and Sun Ce are not good people. If they see this in their military camp, they will definitely have some actions and even seize his military power.
That's why he was very irritable, but while they were irritable, they had no choice, because Cao Cao was really embarrassed now. He had neither military ration nor territory, and had only an army of 200,000, but he could not fulfill his ambitions.
So Cao Cao is very uncomfortable now and doesn't want to communicate with other people. I think Cao Cao is also a hero, but he actually falls into this situation.
Cao Cao was forced into this situation. He originally wanted to annex Jingzhou to complete his own business, but now, let alone complete his business, even his own life will be in danger.
It can even be said that their lives are in danger, and even if they have some safety, he is very uncomfortable, because the 200,000 army is really unable to deal with it.
After thinking about it, Cao Cao seemed to have no good idea, so he could only call his confidant to discuss it.
The confidant who is known as the talent of Wang Zuo is Xun Yu.
After seeing Cao Cao, Xun Yu bowed his hand and said respectfully: "I have met the general, why do you have to exchange my money for me?"
Cao Cao glanced at Xun Yu, then sighed and said, "You know the situation in Wenruo. Our 200,000 army is shaken and we may not have the power to fight again. Moreover, our food and grass were cut off by Liu Bei and Sun Ce."
"Now we can say that we are at a loss. If we don't do anything, we will probably be directly dragged down by the 200,000 army."
Xunyu didn't know the current situation, so he sighed after hearing Cao Cao's words, and then said, "The lord is right. Liu Bei and Sun Ce are too insane. They just want us to force us to a dead end."
Cao Cao also nodded and said directly: "I didn't react at first, but recently I realized that Liu Bei and Sun Ce actually joined forces to fool me, and they actually cut off my military rations together."
Xun Yu also analyzed for Cao Cao when he heard this, "It seems that the two families have reached an agreement. They want us to send troops to attack Lu Bu quickly. Fortunately, they are the fishermen who are profitable. Even if we cannot defeat Lu Bu, we can help them resist Lu Bu."
Cao Cao also thought of the key, and then said directly: "That's it. The intentions of these two people are extremely vicious. He wants our 200,000 army to face Lu Bu and use the lives of our soldiers to resist the enemy for them."
After hearing Cao Cao's analysis, Xun Yu immediately understood, and then said: "They used conspiracy and also used the method of persecution, but we have to say that if we didn't attack Lu Bu, they would really cut off our military rations."
"If we really have the military rations cut off, our soldiers will feel restless and will have some unimaginable things."
Hearing this, Cao Cao showed a ferocious smile on his face, and he said gloomyly: "Aren't they afraid? Will we directly attack Jingzhou and take Jiangdong with the flow? Are they not afraid to force us to rebel?"
After hearing this, Xun Yu thought about it and said directly: "They must have planned it. They will never make any mistakes. Since they dare to do this, they will never make any mistakes."
Speaking of this, Xun Yu seemed to remember something, and then said directly: "I received news two days ago that Liu Bei in Jingzhou has begun to strengthen the city defense. You said there is no war now, so what punishment does it strengthen? It is not to guard against us."
Hearing this, Cao Cao was furious and could no longer hold it back. He shouted loudly: "These bastards are too bullying. I am working with them sincerely, but they use this conspiracy to oppose us and force us."
Xun Yu sighed when he heard this, and then said, "People have to bow their heads under the eaves. We are now forced by them and have no military rations in their hands. This is equivalent to being held by them. As long as we have no food in our hands, they can control us at will."
Cao Cao actually understood very well, and he was not a fool, and he also knew what the situation was like now. His anger just now was just because he was so angry that he was too angry.
But now there is no way, and he doesn't even have a good strategy to deal with the current deserters.
Cao Cao, who was sighing now, looked directly at Xuan Yu, and then asked: "We are in a very difficult situation now, and it is likely to be shattered because of this. So what should we do now? Do we just obey them and treat us as fish to slaughter us?"
Xun Yu felt very sad when he heard this. Their situation is really not good now, and now they really need some other ways to open up the situation.
If this situation is not opened up, they will be completely exhausted here.
Perhaps their 200,000 army will completely escape and become a bossless person.
Or maybe their 200,000 army would be attacked by Liu Bei and Sun Ce, and then they would lose their troops and generals, and eventually they would end up in a different way.
The best way now is to let Lu Bu come to attack Jingzhou. Only in this way can they resist Lu Bu together and their military rations be delivered as scheduled.
If the military rations did not come and Lu Bu did not come, they could only take the initiative to attack Lu Bu, because this was exactly what Liu Bei and Sun Ce thought.
