The cold wind was like a knife, cutting every inch of exposed skin sharply, bringing bursts of stinging pain.

It was so cold at this time that it seemed as if even the air had frozen into frost.

Cao Cao stood on the top of the tower, his brows furrowed, his eyes intertwined with worry and unwillingness.

His eyes seemed to be able to penetrate the heavy haze and look directly at the Han camp, with worry and fear surging in his heart.

The successive setbacks hit his spirit like a heavy hammer, so that he unconsciously fell into a trance on this cold and windy city.

His eyes closed slightly, and the dream quietly invaded.

In that illusory dream, he seemed to have witnessed the Han army's retreat and the recovery of Fufeng City in sight.

Even worse, he seemed to see Liu Bei surrendered and knelt humbly at his feet, begging for forgiveness.

The more he thought about it, the more proud he felt. Cao Cao couldn't help but laugh out loud.

The laughter echoed on the empty tower, but it seemed particularly lonely and desolate.

Seeing this, Xiahou Lie hurriedly called out: "Your Majesty!"

This call was like thunder, instantly pulling Cao Cao back to reality from the illusion.

He opened his eyes, and the illusion in front of him disappeared, replaced by the boundless Han camp.

"I never thought that I, Cao Cao, would end up in such a situation, being forced into a desperate situation by that big-eared thief."

"The sky is blind, the sky is blind~~"

Cao Cao sighed to the sky, and his dissatisfaction with the sky was fully revealed on his face.

However.

After a brief sigh, Cao Cao quickly adjusted his mentality and turned his grief and anger into calmness.

After a moment of silence, he turned to the ministers and asked:

"My dear ministers, the siege of Yucheng by the big-eared thieves is a foregone conclusion. Our army cannot sit and wait for death!"

"If you have a good plan, now is the time to speak freely."

The ministers seemed helpless, all looked at each other, and no one answered.

The air was filled with a breath of depression and despair.

Finally.

It was still Jia Xu who spoke slowly, with a hint of helplessness in his voice:

"Your Majesty, Fufeng has been lost, and Yucheng may also be difficult to defend!"

"I think that the only way now is to break through to Wuding County while the enemy's encirclement has not been completed, and we may have a chance of survival."

Cao Cao did not speak, and his eyes looked outside the city again.

At this moment, the siege of the Han army has not yet been fully formed, and it seems that there is indeed a way out.

Abandoning the city and fleeing at this time seemed to have a chance to escape the siege of the Han army.

But at this time.

Sima Yi said in a deep voice:

"Your Majesty, Deng Mu is cunning. I think he deliberately left a gap. He must have asked Liu Bei to set an ambush and wait for our army to fall into the trap."

As soon as these words came out, Cao Cao's figure was terrified, and the idea of ​​abandoning the city and escaping was gone.

The top of the city fell into silence again, and despair was like a dark cloud, covering everyone's heart.

Just at this moment.

After hesitating for a moment, Yang Fu finally said again: "Your Majesty, I may have another plan..."

A gleam of light flashed in Cao Cao's eyes, and he asked eagerly: "What good plan does Yang Qing have?"

Yang Fu took a deep breath, pointed to the east and said:

"Liu Bei's army is mainly concentrated on the south bank of the Huangshui River, suppressing our Yucheng."

"And the camp on the north bank must be weak because of the Huangshui River, and the defense may also be relaxed."

"I have observed for several days and found that the Han army's food and grass are first transported to the north bank and then transferred to the south bank. This is an opportunity for our army to take advantage of!"

A gleam of light flashed in Cao Cao's eyes, as if he saw the hope of breaking the deadlock.

After a moment of silence, Cao Cao showed relief on his face and patted Yang Fu on the shoulder:

"The loss of Jieting and Yuncheng was not caused by war, so you don't have to blame yourself too much!"

"This is a critical moment. If you have any good ideas, please tell us everything." (To read the novel, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

Yang Fu's confidence doubled, and he continued to explain his plan:

"Our army can raid the Han camp on the north bank at night, burn their food and grass, and create chaos to attract the attention of the Han army."

"At the same time, our main force can take the opportunity to break out from the south, using the chaos as cover, and we can successfully break out."

When this plan came out, everyone on the top of the city was happy, as if they saw the dawn of hope.

Cao Cao nodded approvingly, secretly calculating the feasibility of this plan in his heart.

Yang Fu continued:

"So in view of this, I dare to suggest that we can use all the cavalry's strength, adopt a surprise attack tactic, cross the Huangshui River and attack the Han camp on the north bank, and burn the Han army's grain and grass base."

"Once the grain and grass are not guaranteed, the big-eared thieves will be forced to withdraw to the north bank and wait for follow-up supplies."

"In this way, this will give us a precious breathing space."

......0 ...

Cao Cao's eyes flashed with light, his eyes penetrated the cold wind, and looked at the Han camp on the other side of the Huangshui River.

A blueprint strategy has been formed in his mind.

"Bang!"

Cao Cao punched the battlement with a heavy fist and said happily: []

"Yang Qing's plan is indeed brilliant! What do you think?"

The generals were instantly ignited and nodded in agreement.

However, Xiahou Lie calmly questioned at this time:

"Your Majesty, this plan is wonderful, but the key lies in how we cross the Huangshui River."

"Our army has no boats, which is a big problem."

Cao Cao's face was stern, and then he suddenly realized:

"You are right, it is difficult to cross without a boat, so how can we talk about a surprise attack?"

Cao Cao looked at Yang Fu again.

Yang Fu obviously did not expect this section, and was helpless for a while.

At this time.

Jia Xu, who had been silent all the time, suddenly spoke:

"It is still midwinter now, and the weather may change at any time. Who knows, the weather may drop sharply in a few days, and the Huangshui River may freeze. Can't we cross the river on ice?"

Cross the river on ice!

These four words boosted Cao Cao's spirits.

After a moment's silence, Cao Cao said:

"Okay, we'll wait for the Huangshui River to freeze over, cross the river on ice, and launch a surprise attack on the Han army's grain camp!".
