    Yanzhou, Chenliu.

    This was originally a small town, but when Cao Cao raised an army to fight against Dong and became the prime minister of the Han Dynasty and took control of the court, Chenliu became a very important city.

    Even at the beginning, Cao Cao wanted to make Chenliu the imperial capital instead of making Xu County the imperial capital.

    Chenliu is very important to Cao Cao, not only because it is the place where he started, but also where his hometown is.  Moreover, Chenliu was the first important city used by Cao Cao to guard against Liu Zhe's army going south.

    Since Liu Zhe's people changed the Jizhou government from Xindu to Yecheng, Cao Cao's pressure has increased greatly. Chen Liu has been continuously strengthened and reinforced by Cao Cao, hoping to withstand Liu Zhe's army in the future.

    Now, Chenliu has become a large military camp. Cao Cao's 100,000 troops, which he cobbled together from here and there, have arrived in Chenliu to station themselves, making the entire Chenliu lively.

    After Cao Cao came to Chenliu, he also temporarily rested here in Chenliu. He planned to wait here in Chenliu for Liu Zhe's army to cross the river before setting off. After all, if a hundred thousand troops rushed to Yanjin City at once, it would be very difficult for him to do so.  Yanjin City is under great pressure.

    Cao Cao is now standing on the city wall, looking at the army outside the city, a hundred thousand troops, huge and spectacular. The military camps outside the city cannot be seen from Cao Cao.

    Without Liu Zhe's army of one million, Cao Cao would feel proud. How many people can have an army of one hundred thousand?

    But when he thought of Liu Zhe's million-strong army, Cao Cao couldn't be proud.  My own army of 100,000 is only a fraction of that of others. What a shame.

    Looking at the 100,000 troops under the city, Cao Cao felt depressed. This time he could muster the troops.  And Liu Zhe can easily mobilize an army of millions, and it is very annoying to compare people with each other.

    In fact, Cao Cao has a lot of soldiers and horses under his command, but these are the only ones that can be used. If they are deployed again, no one will be able to defend other places.

    In the direction of Taishan, tens of thousands of troops should be left to watch Liu Zhe's people. In the direction of Luoyang, tens of thousands of troops should be kept to watch Liu Zhe's people. Tens of thousands more troops should be sent to the direction of Xuzhou.

    In the end, Xia Houyuan was asked to bring most of them to reinforce him. Cao Ren was also asked to send tens of thousands of people to Wancheng to prevent Liu Bei, the crybaby, from attacking him. Shouchun was asked to retain people to prevent Sun Quan, the blue-eyed kid from Jiangdong, from causing trouble.

    "Cao Cao is very depressed. The territory is not small, but there are too many places to defend. Compared with Liu Zhe, Liu Zhe is still better.

    To the north, Liu Zhe is separated from him by the Yellow River, so he only needs to defend the Yellow River. To the west, Liu Zhe only needs to defend a few checkpoints such as Tongguan. To the east, he also needs to defend a few checkpoints.

    As for outside the Great Wall, although Cao Cao did not have exact information, he did not receive information that Liu Zhe would be harassed by foreigners outside the Great Wall. It is conceivable that Liu Zhe's border outside the Great Wall was not a big deal.

    "Damn Liu Zhe."

    When he thought that Liu Zhe was even happier than himself, Cao Cao couldn't help but greet Liu Zhe.

    But after the greetings, Cao Cao expressed his envy of Liu Zhe. It was so abominable. Why was Liu Zhe so happy?  And do you have to work so hard?

    "Tell me, what can I do to get Liu Zhe to retreat this time?" After greeting Liu Zhe, Cao Cao asked the counselors around him.

    This time, Cao Cao still brought out Yang Xiu, Sima Yi and other advisers, but he did not bring Cheng Yu. He asked Cao Zhi to stay in Xudu, and Cheng Yu was responsible for handling the affairs of Xudu.

    Xu Du is still Cao Cao's top priority. Even if Liu Zhe's millions of troops are pressing down on the border, Cao Cao does not dare to let down his guard against Xu Du. He still asks Cheng Yu to help him guard Xu Du to prevent Liu Zhe from sending people to mess up Xu Du.

    If Xu is lost, it will be useless to fight off Liu Zhe.  On the contrary, if Xu Du is still in his hands, even if he loses to Liu Zhe, Cao Cao still has a chance to make a comeback.

    Cao Cao¡¯s question made Yang Xiu, Sima Yi, Jiang Ji and other counselors look at each other in confusion. This time, even Yang Xiu, who liked to express himself very much, did not dare to answer Cao Cao¡¯s question immediately.

    Before, Jiang Ji went to Liu Zhe and got a clear answer from Liu Zhe, which was to hand over Sun Cheng and other rebels who had fled to Cao Cao's command.

    But anyone with a discerning eye can see that Liu Zhe is trying to embarrass Cao Cao with this request.

    Handing over Sun Cheng and others, Liu Zhe is still open to question whether he will retreat or not, but the blow to Cao Cao's reputation will be real.  If Cao Cao did this, not only would his subordinates be disappointed, but no one would dare to easily come to seek refuge with Cao Cao again in the future.

    Liu Zhe asked Cao Cao to do this, which was undoubtedly forcing Cao Cao to cut off his own future.

    Therefore, Cao Cao will not do this until the last moment.  But if he doesn't do this, Liu Zhe will not retreat unless Liu Zhe is defeated.??.

    But how easy is it to defeat Liu Zhe?

    Therefore, even smart people like Yang Xiu, Sima Yi, and Jiang Ji didn't know what to say, so they simply remained silent.

    "What? You have nothing to say?" Cao Cao was very dissatisfied when he saw that his men were silent.

    "Prime Minister."

    At this time, Yang Xiu spoke up. Although he had made mistakes before and Cao Cao did not hold him accountable, he was worried that Cao Cao would look down on him and not take him seriously, so he kept looking for opportunities to make up for it.

    "Just defeat Liu Zhe." Yang Xiudao.

    As soon as these words came out, Sima Yi and Jiang Ji both looked at him with surprise in their eyes. Is there any way Yang Xiu can defeat Liu Zhe?  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
