Since Cao Cao asked this, in fact, Cao Cao had already made a decision in his mind, but he was also worried that he would fail.

If he makes a decision and fails, then his face is not good-looking. He must find someone to express his thoughts. In case of prevention, find a scapegoat first.

Everyone present understood Cao Cao's thoughts, so no one dared to speak out.

At this time, many people missed Yang Xiu in Chenliu.

Yang Xiu was good at guessing Cao Cao's thoughts and liked to cater to Cao Cao's thoughts very much.

If he were here, he would definitely follow Cao Cao's wishes and say what Cao Cao thought. He would definitely agree with Cao Cao's sending someone to attack Li Yang.

After all, Yang Xiu was a little naughty. Even if he knew that the water inside was very deep, he would not be afraid. Even if he was asked to take the blame, the power behind him could still save him from punishment.

So, everyone believes that if Yang Xiu is here, it will be the best. Unfortunately, Yang Xiu was left in Chenliu to assist Cao Ang to defend Chenliu, and he was not able to be here.

What a pity. Many people feel regretful and it is a pity that Yang Xiu is not here.

Everyone looked at each other and was silent, but they wondered why Cao Cao wanted to do this this time? Why did Cao Cao want to find a scapegoat?

Although strange, no one dared to ask.

"What? No one dares to speak?" Cao Cao said again when he saw his subordinates remain silent and his face was not very good-looking.

In fact, Cao Cao didn't want to do this, but he had to do this. Now that Liu Zhe's army is coming, he is likely to fail. If he fails, his reputation will be greatly hit, so he must be guarded against it.

"Prime Minister, why not listen to the opinions of others?" Xiahou Dun spoke out. The others he mentioned were the surrenders of Jingzhou.

Xiahou Dun sneered in his heart. He had already learned from the other people about the conflict between the surrendered generals in Jingzhou and Xiahou Yuan and Cao Hong.

Xiahou Yuan is Xiahou Dun's brother, and Cao Hong is the same. Therefore, Xiahou Dun has no good impression of the surrendered generals in Jingzhou.

Therefore, Xiahou Dun spoke out, actually digging a hole for the arrogant Jingzhou surrendered generals and letting them jump down.

Cao Cao glanced at Xiahou Dun, then looked at the other subordinates. His expressions did not change. He nodded and signaled that people would call the people from Jingzhou.

The surrendered generals in Jingzhou led by Kuai Yue, Wang Jie, Han Song and others were quickly called. They had no idea that Cao Cao discussed Li Yang with his subordinates here.

After being called, Cao Cao once again told him what he meant, let Kuai Yue and others know what was going on.

Xiahou Dun and others thought they wanted to take some verbal talk to make the people from Jingzhou speak out, but what they didn't expect was that after Cao Cao finished speaking, they had not asked their opinions.

Han Song spoke out.

"Prime Minister, this is a clever plan."

Han Song said with joy: "The Prime Minister should send someone to attack Li Yang as soon as possible. Once Li Yang is captured, Liu Zhe will definitely be defeated."

It's so cute. Looking at Han Song's eager answer, Xiahou Dun and others couldn't help but praise Han Song in their hearts. It was so cute.

After Han Song said this, others didn't have to worry. Anyway, the scapegoat Cao Cao was looking for was ready.

"Prime Minister, General Han said it well." With Han Song's beginning, others dared to speak freely, and many of them agreed to send troops to attack Li Yang.

Since the information on Liu Zhe's food and grass being stored in Li Yang is real, there is no reason not to attack.

Even if Cao Cao knew where the enemy's food was, he would send people to attack him, not to mention that Cao Cao was at a disadvantage now and did not see the hope of victory. If he did not send people to attack him, even if Cao Cao agreed, no one would agree.

Everyone didn't say anything just now because they were worried that they would be the first to speak out. If they failed at all, they would be regarded as a scapegoat by Cao Cao in the future. Now that they already have a scapegoat, what reason can they not agree with it?

Kuai Yue, Wang Jie and others felt strange to the warm answers of Cao Cao's subordinates. They had not fully understood Cao Cao, so they did not realize anything.

"Prime Minister, let your subordinates take their people." Xiahou Dun went out to fight. Although he had dug a hole for the people in Jingzhou just now, Xiahou Dun actually did not want Cao Cao to fail in the sneak attack on Li Yang, so he volunteered to take his people to sneak attack Li Yang himself.

In fact, Xiahou Dun takes people in person as the best choice. After all, Xiahou Dun's strength is there, even if he encounters an ambush or a strong enemy, he can turn the tide with his own strength.

But beyond everyone's expectations, Cao Cao shook his head and said, "No, you must stay in the camp."

"You just came, and if you suddenly disappeared, it will definitely arouse Liu Zhe's vigilance. You and Miaocai will bring people to fight every day to attract Liu Zhe's attention."

Cao Cao's words made the people present nodded, and this is the same reason. As soon as Xiahou Dun came here, he couldn't avoid the battle. Everyone would doubt it. After all, Xiahou Dun was not a cat or a dog.

The strength is there, and it is the focus of Liu Zhe's attention. If something is wrong, it will arouse Liu Zhe's suspicion.
