How could Cao Cao not understand what Xu Chu said?
but……
Just when Cao Cao was struggling, a man walked in from outside the tent.
This man is none other than Cheng Yu, Cao Cao's adviser!
"Duke Wei! Urgent letter!"
After Cheng Yu walked in in a panic, his expression was also very nervous. To be precise, he was a little excited, and then he said hastily.
With that said, Cheng Yu handed the letter in his hand to Cao Cao.
Hearing this, Cao Cao was also nervous. No matter what the situation is now, it is very urgent for him, Cao Cao, but he doesn't want any bad news.
After Cao Cao opened the letter, he was shocked.
There is nothing else written in this letter, except that Zixiu is back!
After Cao Cao saw such a letter, he was stunned. Then he saw his eyes brighten up instantly, and then his voice trembled a little.
"Zixiu... Zixiu has already returned!"
For such a situation, Cao Cao didn't know what kind of expression to use, or even what kind of mood he should be in.
In his heart, he longed for Cao Ang to come back and help him.
But the guilt in his heart stopped him, making him not pay so much attention to this idea.
Therefore, now Cao Cao is holding the letter in his hand, looking a little happy, a little excited, and even a little overwhelmed.
The reason why Cao Ang got the news was that Xun Yu wrote a letter directly after learning that Hefei fell and Huainan was defeated, and then sent the letter to Liucheng as the first thing.
In the midst of this, Xun Yu didn't dare to delay for a second, and he didn't dare to stay any longer. He ran away and killed several of the horses alone, in order to pass the news to Liucheng Cao Ang as soon as possible. .
It is precisely because of this situation that after Cao Ang got the news, it was only a few days later, relatively speaking, it was already many times faster.
After Cao Ang got the news, he also set off immediately. After arranging the situation in the western Liaoning, he quickly ran back from Youzhou, and after crossing the Yellow River, he set foot on his way back. Xudu's journey.
At this time, Cao Ang was about to reach Xudu.
After Cao Cao read the letter, he fell into contemplation, but now it is certain that Cao Ang will return, so no matter how embarrassed Cao Cao is, he has nothing to do now.
Thinking of this, Cao Cao's heart gradually calmed down. Maybe he and Zixiu should face this situation together. Maybe only in this situation can he get through this difficulty smoothly.
"Damn, I really didn't expect that everything would become so difficult after leaving Zixiu. I didn't expect that such a mess would still be handed over to Zixiu!"
Cao Cao felt very helpless, this Zixiu was already tired enough, and he hadn't rested for a long time, he was running around for the great cause of the Cao family, and there were so many beautiful wives in the family that he couldn't enjoy himself.
And now that the northern affairs have been dealt with, and they can't rest, so they are urgently involved in the war in the south.
For Cao Cao, such a situation is simply squeezing his own son!
However, no matter what he said now, it was useless. Cao Ang had already rushed all the way from the west of Liaoning, and he was about to arrive in Xudu at this time. The next step was to go to battle with his father and son.
After hearing what Cao Cao said, Xu Chu was also heartened.
This general really cares about Duke Wei. In such an emergency, the general would come back to help without saying a word. Such a situation is simply saving people from fire and water!
What makes Xu Chu feel very happy is that after the general arrives, the morale of the Cao army will definitely be boosted. After all, the general's prestige in the army is still very high. The most important thing is that the soldiers in this army The reliance on the general in his heart is also very heavy.
In the hearts of all the soldiers, this Cao Ang is the male god of victory who represents victory. As long as there is a general, it is victory, and it is a complete victory.
"Wei Gong, the news of the general's return to support is a good medicine for our army. If the news of the general's return is released, the morale of our army will definitely boil!"
Xu Chu then also said to Cao Cao in front of him.
It is inevitable for such a situation, and I don't want to see who is coming back.
Hearing this, Cao Cao nodded heavily. For such a situation, Cao Cao has always believed in it, because Cao Ang has never let him down.
After hearing what Xu Chu said, Cheng Yu also showed a thoughtful look, and then frowned, as if he was thinking about something.
When Cao Cao saw this, he was also a little puzzled, and then asked Cheng Yu, "I don't know why Zhong De has such an expression. Could it be that he doesn't agree with this method?"
Cao Cao's biggest advantage is that he is good at listening to the opinions of his subordinates, and it is precisely because of this that he was able to go so far.
Cheng Yu thought for a while, then nodded, and then said slowly: "That's true, I don't think it's very good to tell the news about the general's return now!"
"The news of the general's return will definitely boost morale, but there are too many ways to boost morale, and it doesn't have to be this way!"
"Besides, if the news of the general's return is heard by the Soochow people, such a situation is simply too passive for us, and Zhou Yu will definitely suggest that Sun Ce adjust his strategy."
"The general's prestige is outside, so the reason why Soochow Wu attacked when the general regained the land of western Liaoning was because he was afraid of the general's prestige?"
It can be said that Cheng Yu thought about it in great detail. Cheng Yu did not agree with the method of using a large army to boost morale.
After Cao Cao heard Cheng Yu's words, he understood in his heart that such a situation would indeed happen.
In the battle with Sun Ce and Zhou Yu, the two of them obviously did not pay attention to Cao Cao, and even came to attack Hefei while Cao Ang was going to recover the land in western Liaoning.
And it is precisely because of this that Hefei will be occupied by the Soochow army. Such things are already obvious.
Both Sun Ce and Zhou Yu suffered losses after the battle with Cao Ang, and they had already developed enough guard against Cao Ang in their hearts.
And if the news of Cao Ang's return is released now, then Zhou Yu will definitely advise Sun Ce to deal with it in the most appropriate way, and even not directly confront Cao Jun.
Now the window period for the battle itself is relatively short. If Soochow does not plan to attack and chooses to defend, then Hefei will definitely be secured by Soochow. By that time, even Cao Ang will be powerless!
...
Chapter 323
It is precisely because of this situation that it is not a wise choice to announce the news of Cao Ang's return now.
Instead of doing this, it is better to hide such news directly, and then wait until the general Cao Ang leads the soldiers to rush in front of the Soochow soldiers, and then reveal his name.
At that time, the effect produced will be even more shocking.
If this is the case, then choose to suppress the news of Cao Ang's return first, and then give them a blockbuster in Soochow.
Later, Cao Cao listened to Cheng Yu's suggestion. Now that Cao Ang is coming soon, what Cao Cao needs to do now is to support the army of Soochow.
As long as Soochow's army doesn't choose to defend, they will definitely be beaten to pieces when Cao Ang arrives!
Thinking of this, Cao Cao felt a little happy in his heart, and then said: "Come here, pass my order, now start to count the number of troops, regroup the troops, and start the counterattack!"
"Remember, our purpose is only to support the Soochow army, and then wait for the reinforcements to arrive. Don't confront them head-on!"
