Cao Cao pointed out a location on the map.

Everyone stretched their necks to look at each other, and then they also saw some joy.

『However, these reinforcements will not come here...』 After Cao Cao and others digested the news, they said slowly, "When I was studying military books in the early years, I felt that the six countries were not able to be united... Now I know that the defeat of the six countries is a long time... Qi Huan, Jin Wen, Qin Mu, Song Xiang, and Chu Zhuang were the five hegemons. If we talk about the number, Shandong was half of it and Qin was only one, so how could it rule the six countries? It was a ruling."

"Now, what order is the land of Shandong?"

Cao Cao looked at everyone and smiled, not knowing whether to laugh at himself or something else.

"A order from the King of Qin can adjust fish and rice in Sichuan, drive Western Rong and Hu cavalry, and control Qiang slaves in northern desert. The soldiers and people are united. Let's see if the emperor's order can be sent to counties and counties now? "

Everyone was speechless.

"Therefore, if there is a defeat now, Shandong can be one, then Shandong will eventually win. If Shandong is different now, it will also be a victory for a while, and it will eventually be defeated by Qin."

Although Shandong is not as scattered as Dong Zhuo's time, and the so-called eighteen princes, in fact, for Shandong, the superficial integration does not really form a synergy.

Cao's army now withdrew from the Heluo area. As one goes up and down, the Cavalry Army will enter the Heluo area. Although it can occupy Luoyang, it can attack Yanzhou, Yuzhou, Jizhou and other places on the surface, but in fact, just like Dong Zhuo back then, once the army goes deeper, it will be attacked by multiple places...

Of course, the premise is that Shandong must be in a consistent manner and form a unified cognition again.

This is very important.

Although Shandong's strength will be greatly weakened after this defeat, it also weakened the difficulty of Cao Cao's integration with various places!

Foreign enemies are strong and danger is approaching, and Shandong is facing the biggest crisis!

If it cannot be integrated together, Fei Qian will sweep the prefectures and counties, and the country will be overthrown.

Just like the Qin Dynasty back then.

These things were considered in detail before the war, but they could not be said in advance. After all, at that time, most Shandong people were very proud, thinking that they were big in Shandong, with vast land and abundant resources, rich in resources, outstanding people and spiritual...

After Fei Qian occupied Guanzhong, his power expanded rapidly. Cao Cao could no longer delay and could not stop fighting. However, he made preparations for both moves. If he won, he would naturally be fine, but if he lost, he would still have the final trump card.

This is one of them...

It's very difficult, of course.

What is the human heart difficult to control, and desire is like a deep abyss.

If Shandong cannot be in harmony, then Cao Cao will be useless even if he has three heads and six arms.

Therefore, winning may not be a good thing, and losing may not be a bad thing.

However, neither Lao Cao nor Guo Xun had expected that the Cao Xiahou family would suffer so many losses in this battle...

If the country wants to save it, the Shandong collective under Cao Cao's command must be strong enough.

If the Shandong collective wants to be strong, it is far from enough to rely solely on the taxes in Yuzhou and the strength of the Qingzhou soldiers. It must also do everything possible to weaken the opponent's strength.

If the Northern Region Army, the Guanzhong gentry and other prefectures and counties could be allowed to restrain each other under the rule of the cavalry, or even fight against each other, it would be the best and most labor-saving method.

Cao Cao defeated the two Yuans, occupied Jizhou Youzhou, Qingzhou and Xuzhou and later collected Jingzhou. He was secretly criticized, slandered, and abused by many people, even including his childhood friend, his relatives...

But what about now?

If Feiqian occupied more places, what would he encounter?

Cao Cao captured Jizhou and Yuzhou by force, and trampled on the bones of the two Yuans and climbed up. Then the people of Shandong thought that Cao Cao was in a wrong position!

Because according to Shandong's rules, it is "recommendation"!

I recommend this thing. After all, it has been three or four hundred years. Even monsters have become spirits. They are parasitized in the body of the man. If they tear them up, they will hurt.

Yuan Shao was in line with the Shandong process and was recommended, but Cao Cao was not!

If it comes to it, Cao Cao should actually be considered "lower defeated the superior"!

So, if the General of the Cavalry also conquered the various places in Shandong with force, what would the result be? How would the general of the world view the General of the Cavalry? Will the General of the Cavalry be accused by the people of the world as a rebel traitor of the Han Dynasty and become the second Dong Zhuo of the Han Dynasty? If everyone in the world believes that the General of the Cavalry captured Heluo and marched to Youzhou was the beginning of the demise of the Han Dynasty, will the various forces of the Han Dynasty join forces to deal with Fei Qian?

Of course, Cao Cao could not predict what would happen in the future, but he would try his best to spread this thinking and let Fei Qian take the same mistake as Dong Zhuo. At the same time, he would try his best to get rid of his position from the role of the occupier and become the world's "recommendation" that replaces Yuan Shao!

To make Cao Cao the world's people, well, it is mainly the only force in the hearts of Shandong people that can "save" the country!

Only then can the counties and counties that were originally against Cao Cao and disobeyed him and could truly gather under Cao Cao's banner and hold high the challenge of Dong... Oh, the banner of seeking the king, constantly launching a counterattack on Guanzhong, and finally achieving a decisive victory!

Let the people of the world know that today there is only Prime Minister Cao, and only Cao's army is still tenaciously protecting the emperor and saving the country!

Then the reason why Cao Cao wanted to occupy Jizhou before was to monopolize the power because he wanted to seek the king!

It was a helpless act that was forced!

Now Cao's army retreated from Hedong and retreated from Heluo, not only because of the strength of the Cavalry Army, but because of the rebellion within Shandong!

Cao's army was already at the end of their lives and could not support it. The crime was not Cao Cao, but the rebellion of Shandong thieves!

Of course, in this plan, Xun Yu and Guo Jia also ambushed some small thoughts...

Cao Cao guessed something.

He was very upset at first, but now...

Still unhappy, but it's not that strong anymore.

After Cao Cao finished talking to the generals, he looked around and looked at the expressions of everyone.

Everyone in the tent was silent and chewed carefully at Cao Cao's meaning inside and outside.

War is the continuation of politics.

The Cao army, Cao Cao, Fei army, and Fei Qian, the two armies fought here not only for the blood and casualties of the fight, but for the future route and the ownership of authority.

Cao Cao wanted to look at the loyalty of the Shandong people to the Han country and the loyalty of the emperor, so he could not leave the battlefield easily and evacuate Heluo, but was beaten back!

The more intact the Cao army was, the less nervous the people in Shandong were. On the contrary, if Cao's army was defeated, they would be beaten out and rushed back, and cried to the people of the world with blood and injuries. "It's not that the Cao family Xiahou family did not save the country or protect the emperor, but that the traitors in Shandong were causing trouble and pulling their backs! Today, except for Prime Minister Cao, there is no place in the world without rebellion and traitors everywhere!"

Under such circumstances, Cao Cao can kill these guys who jumped out and met with the cavalry without much hidden danger...

After taking the cream accumulated by these guys, it may not only make up for Cao Cao's losses, but also make the Shandong court richer!

Cao Cao looked around and said again: "If I issue an edict today to mediate... the time should be almost coming... And if we are defeated by the Cavalry Army at this moment... Then how will the people in the world view Cavalry?"

Cao Cao didn't expect any edicts to be denied.

To be honest, those who care about the emperor will respect the emperor without needing an edict. What's the use of no more edicts that do not respect the emperor?

Will Fei Qian respect the emperor?

Maybe, but his generals...

Therefore, there will inevitably be conflicts!

It is more or less the turn of Fei Qian to suffer the hardships and the sins Cao Cao suffered back then!

Cao Cao smiled slightly, looking confident.

Everyone looked at each other, "Lord, do you mean...we are going to retreat?"

Cao Cao nodded slowly, "From tonight, we will adopt a strategy of increasing the stove and reducing troops! We will start to retreat!"

As soon as Cao Cao finished speaking, he heard anxious steps coming from outside the tent.

"Prime Minister! Suoyang Pass is lost!"
Chapter completed!
