Just then.

Dian Wei hurried in and delivered the latest intelligence about Puguan.

Cao Cao took a look and his face changed drastically.

"Puguan has been lost!"

Cao Cao exclaimed.

The ministers around him all changed their expressions when they heard what Cao Cao said.

Instantly, the palace hall was in a panic again.

Cao Cao's face was pale, and the intelligence in his hand was like a hot potato, which made him feel unprecedentedly threatened.

Guanzhong, the heartland of Wei, is now in danger of being forced by Liu Bei's army.

"Your Majesty, the situation is now at the critical moment of survival, and we must make a decision quickly!"

Pang De was excited and broke the panic atmosphere.

Cao Cao raised his head and glanced at Pang De:

"Pang Lingming, what do you mean?"

Pang De stepped forward and said firmly:

"Puguan is the main road to Guanzhong. Once it is lost, the overall situation of Guanzhong will be lost."

"I am willing to lead the army to recapture Puguan and never let the enemy army penetrate into Guanzhong."

As soon as these words came out.

Ma Chao frowned and bowed:

"Recapture Puguan is important, but the enemy is numerous and we are few. The city has been lost, how can we recapture it?"

"I think it is better to retreat to Chang'an, regroup, and use defense as offense."

After hearing this, Cao Cao was silent.

Then, his eyes turned to Jia Xu who had been thinking.

Jia Xu sighed, stroked his beard and said softly:

"Your Majesty, Puguan has been lost, and Guanzhong is in danger."

"I think you might consider moving the capital to Jicheng, while leaving heavy troops to guard Chang'an to delay Liu Bei's offensive rhythm."

Cao Cao was shocked. He did not expect Jia Xu to suggest that he move the capital to Longxi.

Cao Cao fell into silence.

He frowned, thinking about the pros and cons of the three people's suggestions. This decision may be related to the future of Wei.

After a while, he looked at his three ministers again, and everyone's expression looked extremely serious.

"Pang Lingming, I know you are brave."

"But in the current situation, with the current strength of our army, it may be too difficult to retake Puguan." (To read the novel, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

"As for you, Ma Mengqi, your suggestion is conservative but safe, but the capital of our Wei is in Chang'an. Once it falls, the Wei will be over!"

Finally, Cao's eyes finally stopped on Jia Xu:

"Jia Wen, do you think moving the capital Is it really feasible?"

Jia Xu nodded and bowed:

"Moving the capital is an extraordinary measure, but it is also an expedient measure."[]

"Jicheng is located at a higher altitude, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and it also has Longshan as a natural barrier."

"If the capital is moved to Jicheng, will our Wei be safe?"

"At the same time, leaving heavy troops in Chang'an can also ensure that Guanzhong will not fall quickly."

"When Liu Bei's army is under the old city and has been unable to capture it for a long time, Your MajestyThen lead the main force out of Longshan and return to Chang'an."

"With internal and external cooperation, Liu Bei will surely be defeated!"

Jia Xu spoke eloquently about his overall plan.

Cao Cao took a deep breath and finally made a decision:

"Follow Jia Wen's plan and prepare to move the capital to Jicheng."

"Pang De, Ma Chao, you each lead your troops to assist in the retreat and ensure the safety of civil and military officials (king's). "

"This is the autumn of the country's survival. I hope you will be loyal to your duties and live up to my expectations."

The decision has been made.

The atmosphere in the tent was solemn, and everyone felt the heavy burden on their shoulders.

Cao Cao stood up, looked at everyone with a firm gaze, and bowed:

"This is a move related to the future of Wei. I hope that whether you are willing to move the capital or not, you should unite as one and overcome the difficulties together! ”

Ma Chao, Pang De and others were startled, stood up immediately, and agreed in unison..
