"Wenruo!"

Cao Cao suddenly turned around and glanced at Xun Yu.

There was clearly a hint of blame in his eyes.

This is your idea, Xun Yu, asking me to send out heavy armored cavalry, vowing to restrain the Yan army's Lian Nu..

But why didn’t you expect that Yan’s army actually hid such secret weapons?

Nearly ten thousand cavalry!

Was it lost in vain?

You, Xun Yu, miscalculated, and you cannot escape the blame.

Xun Yu With a long sigh, he raised his hands and blamed himself:

"Forgive me for being foolish. I never expected that Deng Mu could create such a magical weapon."

"The defeat of this battle cannot be blamed on me, so I ask your Majesty to punish me."

Xun Yu did not wait for Cao Cao to blame him. He took the initiative to plead guilty and took the responsibility on himself.

Cao Cao looked disappointed, pointed at Xun Yu, and wanted to question him on the spot.

At this time,

Cao Ang saw this and reminded him:

"Father, not to mention Xun Wenruo, even if Zhang Liang was reincarnated, how could it be expected that Deng Mu would create such an artifact as a horse-tripping nail?"

"Erchen thought that Xun Wenruo had tried his best and the defeat in this battle was indeed not to blame on him."

When Cao Ang reminded him, he winked secretly at Cao Cao again and again.

Cao Cao suddenly understood and swallowed back the words of blame on his lips.

In the end, he just flicked his sleeves and sighed helplessly.

There was nothing he could do, he It is indeed not the fault of Xun Yu.

How can a normal person imagine such an ingenious thing as a horse tripping nail?

Not to mention that Xun Yu could not think of it.

Even if he had the wisdom of all the counselors in Cao Wei, he would not be able to think of it. It has to come out.

This kind of thing is completely beyond the scope of common sense.

Furthermore, in the current situation, Xun Yu is the only counselor he can rely on.

If he loses this battle now, he will greatly blame Xun Yu. If Xun Yu was resentful, who could Cao Cao ask for advice?

After weighing the pros and cons, Cao Cao could only pinch his nose and suppress his anger.

"Now we have lost 10,000 cavalry, and Wen Chou has also died."

"How to fight the next battle, Wen Ruo, what do you have in mind?"

Not only could Cao Cao not blame Xun Yu, he also had to be shameless and ask Xun Yu for advice.

After pondering for a long time, Xun Yu raised his hands and said:

"Your Majesty, do you want me to tell you the truth?"

Cao Cao had a bad feeling, but he could only wave his hand:

"If Wen wants to say something, just say it. Xun

Yu then took a deep breath and said in a deep voice:

"Your Majesty, I think Yecheng cannot be defended now, and Hebei cannot be defended either."

"The best strategy is to abandon Yecheng and Hebei as soon as possible and move the capital to Guanzhong!"

As soon as this statement came out, there was an uproar all around.

Cao Ang, Ma Chao and other generals were all shocked. No one expected that Xun Yu's great idea was to move the capital to Chang'an!

"Do you want me to abandon Yecheng?"

Cao Cao's face darkened, and his stern eyes shot at Xun Yu.

"Our army lost nearly 10,000 cavalry, while the Yan army captured countless horses. The cavalry strength of the two armies was almost equal."

"With this kind of strength comparison, it is obvious that we can no longer carry out the strategy of robbing food."

"If this strategy of robbing food cannot be carried out, naturally Liu Bei will not be able to survive until Liu Bei runs out of food and retreats without a fight."

"As for the troops of Gongsun Du and Liu Zhang, they could only contain some of Liu Bei's troops, but they could not force Liu Bei to retreat."

"This means that this battle to defend Yecheng will become a protracted battle to compete for national strength."

"Except for Jizhou, most of the states controlled by Cao Wei are barren and remote places."

"The grain production and military resources are far less than those of the states controlled by Liu Bei."

"If the competition continues like this, I, Da Wei, will definitely be the first to be unable to hold on and fall apart."

"At that time, it will not just be as simple as losing the city of Ye, but it will most likely turn into a great rout, from losing the land to losing both people and land."

"Instead of losing both people and land, it would be better for us to voluntarily abandon Yecheng, even Jizhou and Youzhou, preserve the real country and retreat to the west."

"In this way, we not only preserved tens of thousands of elites, but also re-established a defense line"

"The north relies on the natural dangers of Taihang Mountain and sticks to the Bingzhou line."

"To the south, we can rely on the danger of Tongguan and hold on to the center of Guanzhong."

"At this time, we can rely on the advantage of our geographical location to offset our weakness of insufficient national strength, and we can win the battle evenly with the Yan State."

"After finding a good opportunity, the king will lead his army eastward out of Tongguan and recover the two rivers before it is too late!"

_

_ He calmed down again.

Xun Yu's analysis was all reasonable.

At this time, he also began to clearly realize that in terms of national strength, his Cao Wei was indeed no match for Liu Bei and Yan.

"What Wen Ruo said makes sense."

"If there is a protracted war, I, Cao Wei, will be the first to be unable to sustain it..."

Cao Cao stroking his short beard and muttered to himself.

At this time, his will had been shaken and he was already inclined to abandon the defense of Yecheng.

"Father, you absolutely must not do this!"

The crown prince Cao Ang suddenly stood up and objected sternly.

Cao Cao looked at Cao Ang.

Xun Yu frowned and looked at Cao Ang.

"Yecheng is the capital of our great Wei Dynasty!"

"Once the defense is abandoned, has Father ever considered what impact it will have on the people of Cao Wei?"

"I'm afraid that when the time comes, all the people from all over the world will think that Cao Wei is about to be overthrown, and they will all flock to Liu Bei!"[]

"Once such a situation occurs, not only will Jizhou and Youzhou be abandoned, but Bingzhou and Guanzhong will also fall apart!"

"Therefore, I believe that Yecheng must not be abandoned!"

"Hebei must not be abandoned!"

Cao Ang expressed his opposition in a stern tone and stated the reason for his opposition.

Cao Cao's body trembled and he couldn't help but shudder.

The words Cao Ang said were like thunder, constantly booming above his head.

The man who abandoned him to defend Yecheng The tendency was shattered in an instant.

After pondering and weighing for a long time,

Cao Cao nodded heavily and said in a deep voice:

Ang'er's words are reasonable. The gains and losses of Yecheng are related to the support of people's hearts!

"I will never give up easily"

"Otherwise, I, the subjects of Cao Wei, will lose their hearts and minds. Who would be willing to defend for my king!"

"Yecheng must not be abandoned, and it must not be abandoned easily!"

Cao Cao is absolutely incomparable and shouted without question...
