Judging from the map, there is indeed only one route from Liu Zhe to Urasakatsu, Urasakatsu.

If there are two roads connected by Yongzhou under Cao Cao's commandments and the Central Plains, one is the road of Hangu Pass in Tongguan and the other is the Wu Pass. Then Liu Zhe only has one, just one.

Cao Cao looked at the map presented by his subordinates, his eyes flashed constantly. After staring for a while, he said to himself: "If you can capture Urasakatsu and cut off the connection between Hedong and Fengyi County, then no matter how many troops Liu Zhe has in Fengyi County, he will not be afraid."

Even if Liu Zhe had one million troops in Fengyi County, Urasakatsu was cut off and would sooner or later starve to death.

However, after talking to himself for a while, Cao Cao smiled bitterly. It was not so easy. Not to mention that Cao Cao could not get through Hedong, even if he passed, he would not be sure to capture Urasakatsu and defend it. Urasakatsu was Liu Zhe's lifeblood. Cao Cao did not believe that Liu Zhe did not station heavy troops there.

If you want to conquer Hedong and occupy Urasakatsu, it would be better to hope that Cao Ren, who was in Yongzhou, conquered Linjin and block Urasakatsu. This is more practical.

Mao Jie swore: "So, lord doesn't have to worry too much, and Liu Zhe is not a fool. He will not fight with lord in Yongzhou. After all, he may be subject to logistics. In comparison, we are better than him and the situation is more favorable."

Cao Cao was moved. It turned out that Mao Jie said so much to comfort him and not to get angry.

What a good subordinate, so considerate. Cao Cao was moved, and then he asked a difficult question to his considerate subordinate: "What if Liu Zhe had more than one route to Yongzhou?"

"More than one?" Mao Jie was shocked when he heard this. There were two words, and Mao Jie said nothing just now.

With two or more routes, Liu Zhe's logistics will not be restricted, and the source of material resources will be continuously transferred into Yongzhou. With the strength of Liu Zhe, he can really sweep away Yongzhou Liangzhou. Not to mention Cao Ren himself, even Cao Ren and Ma Chao and Han Sui join forces together are not Liu Zhe's opponents.

After hearing Cao Cao's words, Mao Jie and Man Chong's heart was first shocked, but after they looked at each other, they both saw the doubts in each other's eyes. Will there be a second question?

When Man Chong saw Cao Cao's gaze stopping at Tongguan, but his finger pressed at the turning point of the Yellow River, he understood.

Man Chong asked, "Lord, are you worried about Fenglingdu?"

Cao Cao nodded. He did not hide it from his two subordinates, and said, "Once Liu Zhe attacked from Fengling Dudu River, Tongguan will be very dangerous."

The importance of Tongguan is self-evident. If there were no Fenglingdu, Tongguan would not be so important. There was the Chang'an defense line in front and the Hangu Pass behind. Tongguan was not afraid of Liu Zhe's sneak attack in the middle.

But the Yellow River is 50 miles away from Tongguan. If you are so desperate, Fengling Du is there. Crossing the river from Fengling, Tongguan can be under the threat of a military attack.

After Cao Cao captured Tongguan, he once wanted to learn from Yanjin and build a city near the ferry like Baimajin. However, he saw that Liu Zhe did not set up heavy troops in Fenglingdu, and he did not want to be an enemy with Liu Zhe at that time. In order not to stimulate Liu Zhe, he did not order it, but just quietly strengthened the defense of Tongguan.

He and Liu Zhe forgot Feng Lingdu, but when it was really possible to provoke Liu Zhe, Feng Lingdu became a heart-wrenching problem for him.

"Lord, don't worry."

Mao Jie spoke out again and said, "Didn't the lord let Xu Rong go to defend Fenglingdu? Xu Rong does have some skills. Under his defense, Liu Zhe should not dare to cross the river."

Crossing the river is not a simple matter. If someone defends on the shore, crossing the river with a tough heart will only cause heavy casualties.

Cao Cao nodded when he heard this. Xu Rong was indeed capable, otherwise he would not have let Xu Rong be the prefect of Tongguan. He also sent people to greet him during festivals and festivals to buy his loyalty. He had sent someone to send letters to Xu Rong to defend Fengling Ferry. I believe Xu Rong would not disappoint him.

"Master..." Man Chong was about to say something when he suddenly saw a cavalry coming from the west quickly. It was the messenger who urgently transmitted information in Cao Cao's army.

"Military information is urgent!"

Before the messenger entered the pass, he shouted loudly: "Tongguan is lost, Tongguan is lost..."

When Man Chong heard this, his face suddenly changed. When he turned his head and saw that Mao Jie was already pale at this time, while Cao Cao's eyes were dull.

Cao Cao's face changed back and forth, red and white, and looked very exciting. Soon, his body swayed, and then a mouthful of blood suddenly spurted out.

"Xu Rong misled me..."

After Cao Cao finished saying this, he would fall out of the wall. If he fell down, he would probably have to explain his life.

"Lord, be careful..."

Man Chong, who was closest to Cao Cao, had quick eyes and grabbed Cao Cao as soon as possible. If he hadn't been quick hands, maybe Cao Cao would have explained it here today.

Cao Cao's subordinates rushed forward and supported Cao Cao, but Cao Cao was already in a semi-coma at this time.

"Hurry, carry your lord down!" Man Chong ordered that Cao Cao was half unconscious now, and Mao Jie was also hit by the news of the loss of Tongguan. For a moment, his face turned pale and he was confused.
