This news was so unexpected by Cao Cao that Cao Cao didn't react at the first time, thinking that his ears had heard it wrong.
Even Jia Xu, who had always been deep and moody, was slightly shocked, and a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes.
"Zidan, what are you talking about, why did Liu Biao withdraw to Jingzhou, didn't he want to rob the Son of Heaven, is he crazy" Cao Ang shouted in disbelief.
Cao Zhen made a bitter face and said silently: "After Liu Biao's previous defeat, he did transfer troops from Jingzhou and put on a posture of never fighting with the pottery merchants, but according to our detailed information, Liu Biao had to lead the army to retreat south because Sun Ce invaded Jingzhou on a large scale, Xiakou was besieged, and the rear was lost. ” Sun Ce invaded Jingzhou on a large scale, and Xiakou was besieged Another piece of astonishing news.
Cao Cao suddenly realized, and Jia Xu also suddenly realized, only then did he understand everything, it turned out that Sun Ce stabbed Liu Biao in the back.
"Sun Ce is quite wise, it stands to reason that he should take advantage of Liu Biao's time to drag the pottery merchants, and take the opportunity to wave his army north and seize Huainan, why did he go to help the pottery merchants in turn and attack Jingzhou This doesn't make sense, it doesn't make sense."
Jia Xu's indifferent face was as indifferent as water, and for the first time in his life, he was dazed, as if Sun Ce's actions were deeply puzzled and unable to see through the mystery.
"I heard that under the command of the pottery merchant, there is a lobbyist named Zhang Yi, this person is very good at lobbying, he persuaded Liu Biao twice to send troops, and helped the pottery thief stab us in the back at a critical time, could it be that he sent this Zhang Yi to persuade Sun Ce to fail" Cao Zhen guessed seven or eight points.
"Zhang Yi, it's this Zhang Yi again" Cao Cao struck a few times with his fist, and he hated as if he wanted to eat Zhang Yi alive.
He will never forget that when the potters were still in their fledglings, he went east to Xuzhou, and had the opportunity to strangle the potters in the cradle, and it was this Zhang Yi who persuaded Liu Biao to send troops to Xudu, so that he had to withdraw from the army, which gave the potters the opportunity to rise.
And in the previous battle to hold Xudu, if he could draw 6,000 soldiers and horses from Wancheng, he might still have a chance to hold Xudu.
As a result, it was this Zhang Yi who persuaded Liu Biao to send troops again, dragging down his key 6,000 soldiers and horses in Wancheng.
Now, it was this Zhang Yi who magically persuaded Sun Ce to attack Jingzhou, forcing Liu Biao to retreat, completely destroying his layout of fighting between the two tigers and profiting from the fishermen.
This Zhang Yi, with one tongue, actually destroyed Cao Cao's good deeds three times, how can he not hate it deeply.
"The situation is so clear, how much eloquence does this Zhang Yi have to convince Sun Ce to give up the best choice and help the potters instead" Cao Ang was dumbfounded, with a look of disbelief.
"No matter what means this Zhang Yi used, in short, he persuaded Sun Ce, under the command of Tao Shang, there is such a world-class eloquence, it is really surprising."
Jia Xu sighed lightly, with helplessness in his tone, this sigh invisibly attributed the responsibility for the failure of his strategy to Zhang Yi's accident, rather than his own strategy.
"It's hateful, this potter, there is a turnaround at the most critical moment, now Liu Biao has withdrawn, and the Son of Heaven has also fallen into the hands of the pottery thief, what should we do" Cao Ang's tone was anxious, a little out of proportion.
Cao Cao's face was also gloomy, annoyance was written on his face, and he glared at Jia Xu with a frown.
Although he didn't say it explicitly, there was a bit of blame hidden in that glare.
Jia Xu instantly felt a chill rising on his back, but his face was still as indifferent as water, without a trace of waves, and he arched his hand again, and said lightly: "Sun Ce's dispatch of troops is indeed an accident, but Sikong doesn't have to be discouraged, we still have a chance." ” "Wen He, how do you say this" Cao Cao's expression softened a little, and his eyes showed hope again.
Jia Xu said unhurriedly: "Although the pottery merchant has seized the Son of Heaven and has the Central Plains, but his biggest enemy next can only be Yuan Shao, and Yuan Shao will also regard him as the number one enemy. ” "Until then."
Jia Xu raised his hand and pointed to the east, "Whether it is Yuan Shaosheng, Tao Shangsheng, or the two of them are both defeated, they will also be greatly injured at that time. ” As soon as the words changed, Jia Xu smiled faintly again, "Of course, judging from the current situation, Yuan Shao has an absolute advantage, and most of the potters will be destroyed, but with the strength of the potters, even if they are destroyed, they will definitely make Yuan Shao pay a heavy price. ” Cao Cao was silent, his gaze sometimes looking west, sometimes east, uncertain.
He's hesitating, he's weighing.
After groaning for a long time, Cao Cao's scorched face resurfaced with the confidence that a hero should have.
He slammed his fist against the female wall, sighed, but said coldly: "Okay, let the pottery thief and Yuan Shao fight to the death, sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, and watch how the pottery thief was destroyed by Yuan Shao." ” Wancheng.
More than 20,000 soldiers of the Tao army are packing up, and the pottery merchants have passed down an order, telling them to prepare early.
"Lord, Liu Biao's army is still in the south of the city, and Cao Cao of Wuguan is also eyeing him, so now is the time to withdraw his troops easily."
The veteran Lian Po received this military order and rushed to question it as soon as possible.
Before the words fell, Yingbu, Zhang Xiu, Huo Qubing and other generals also rushed over, and like Lian Po, they felt some doubts about the military order of the pottery merchant.
The potter who sat on the top drank a glass of wine and said with a faint smile: "I don't expect that in the day, Liu Biao will withdraw his troops and return to the south, so naturally we must let the soldiers prepare early, and we can also return to Xudu as soon as possible." ” The expressions of all the generals changed, they looked at each other, and the suspicion in their eyes was even heavier.
"How can the lord conclude that Liu Biao will withdraw his troops?"
Lian Po continued to ask.
Before the Tao Shang's voice fell, the fourth lady Lu Lingji rushed into the hall and said with a look of surprise: "Husband, the Jingzhou army in the south of the city has pulled out of camp and retreated to the south. ” As soon as these words came out, Lian Po and other generals present all shook their bodies, and their eyes looked at the potters with surprise.
"The lord is like a god, and he actually expected Liu Biao to withdraw his troops, but, so good, why did Liu Biao withdraw his troops inexplicably?"
Yingbu shouted excitedly and in surprise.
Lian Po and the other generals were all surprised and puzzled, and looked at the potter, waiting for the potter to answer.
The potter smiled without saying a word, and only glanced at Chen Ping.
Chen Ping took a breath and said with a smile: "You don't have to be surprised, the drunkard I gave the lord a plan when he flooded Cai Mao's 30,000 army, and I had already offered another plan to the lord, asking Zhang Yi to rush to Jiangdong in the starry night to persuade Sun Ce to send troops to Jingzhou, Liu Biao's ass was kicked, and he naturally had to withdraw his troops and retreat. ” In a word, the mystery is broken.
The generals suddenly realized, and the doubts in their hearts finally came to their senses, and they looked at the potter's gaze with admiration.
"I didn't expect that the lord had already used Mr.
Chen's strategy so early to lay out a strategy to retreat, no wonder the lord was confident and didn't take Liu Biao's tens of thousands of troops in his eyes at all, so it turned out to be the case" Lian Po stroked his beard and sighed.
As soon as the wine in the cup was drunk, the potter looked to the north and sneered: "Liu Biao has retreated, Cao Cao's fisherman's plot to profit has been shattered, I expect that in just a few days, Cao Cao will retreat west to Guanzhong, and then we can return to the Central Plains and prepare for the final decisive battle with Yuan Shao." ” The generals' blood was boiling, and everyone's thoughts had been sent to Nanyang, and they flew to the Central Plains, already looking forward to the decisive battle with Yuan Shao.
As expected by the pottery merchants, a few days later, news came from Wuguan that Cao Cao Liule led 2,000 soldiers and horses to defend Wuguan, and retreated to Chang'an with 8,000 elites.
In Jingzhou, Liu Biaoliuwen led an army of 5,000 to defend Xinye, and he had led the main army to the south along the Han River to save Xiakou.

Cao Cao's new entry into the customs, Ma Han and other Xiliang generals were not attached, and Cao Cao wanted to completely pacify Guanlong, which was not an overnight thing.
As for Jingzhou, although Sun Ce is brave, Liu Biao is not a fuel-efficient lamp, Sun Ce wants to swallow Jingzhou, and he can't do it in a year and a half.
Looking around, the external environment of the potter has become relaxed in a short period of time, and now he can finally concentrate and prepare to fight with Yuan Shao.
On the same day, the potter led tens of thousands of troops, returned to the north, and went to Xudu.
As for Wancheng, it is an important place connecting Guanzhong and Jingzhou, and it is the southern gate of Xudu.
The potter then left the veteran Lian Po, led 5,000 elite soldiers to be stationed in Wancheng, and defended the south of Xudu.
In order to be foolproof, the pottery merchant transferred Chen Deng to Nanyang Taishou in the name of the imperial court, and as a strategist of Lian Po, he assisted him in guarding the northern counties of Nanyang.
Chen Deng, for the sake of family interests, had secretly colluded with Cao Cao in history, and the potter had always been jealous of this person.
However, this man is extremely talented, and the potter also appreciates it.
Today, Chen Deng was transferred to Nanyang, firstly, he could use his strategist to help Lianpo guard Nanyang, and secondly, he was also transferred from his hometown in Xuzhou, so that he cared about the interests of his family and did not dare to have two hearts, which could be regarded as killing two birds with one stone.
After the class master returned to Xudu, the potters could finally free up their hands and clean up the recalcitrant counties of the Central Plains.
Taishan County Taishou, who was loyal to Cao Cao, was defeated by Gao Shun and passed on his head to the capital to show the public.
The Taishou of Runan County, who was rebelled by Liu Biao, was also easily defeated by Huo Quai's iron cavalry, and after the Taishou was sent to Xudu, he was ordered by the potter to divide the corpses of the five horses to deter the disobedient heart.
Liu Biao's retreat to the south and Cao Cao's retreat to the west caused those who were lucky in the Central Plains to suffer a heavy mental blow.
And the potter snatched the Son of Heaven and possessed the trump card of righteousness, which made the resistance forces everywhere quickly collapse.
Less than half a month after returning to the division, the two states of Yanyu, which originally belonged to Cao Cao, and some of the Sizhou counties to which Luoyang belonged, were all subjugated to the iron cavalry of the pottery merchants.
In the autumn of that year, the war in the Central Plains was finally extinguished, and the pottery merchant jumped from Xuzhou to become the second largest prince in the world who held the three states of Xu, Yanyu and Henan, as well as half of Yangzhou and half of Sizhou.
Under the coercion of the pottery merchants, Liu Xie, the son of heaven, had to issue an edict to announce to the princes of the world that the pottery merchant was officially named the Great Sima, and the government was in charge of the government, and Suiyang, the place of Liang Guozhi, was used as the fief of the pottery merchant, and he was named the Marquis of Suiyang County.
Tao Shang is in a high position, as the so-called rising tide lifts all boats, and those civil ministers and military generals who followed him to the east and west have all been officially rewarded and appointed by the imperial court.
Lian Po, Huo Quzhi, Yingbu, Li Guang, Xu Sheng, Zang Ba, Fan Xu, Yang Youji, Zhang Xiu and other generals were all promoted to miscellaneous generals and were knighted as Pavilion Marquis.
Chen Ping, Zhang Yi, Chen Deng and other strategists were also named corresponding Korean Chinese officials, Lu Ban was in charge of ordnance manufacturing, and Bian Que was named Tai Doctor Ling, the head of the medical officer.
After sealing the group of officials, the pottery merchants then feasted all the civil and military forces in their own Dasima Mansion, one to celebrate, and the other to discuss the next step.
It was already nightfall, and shortly after the feast began, a scout hurried into the hall.
"Great Sima, Hebei urgently, Yuan Shao has broken through Yijing on the second day of the first month of this month, and Gongsun Zan committed suicide by fire." isjgy:
