Cao Ang is very clear about such things, and Cao Cao, who is the person involved, understands that he can't understand it any more.
Such a thing is simply a nightmare for him Cao Cao.
When fighting Soochow, Cao Cao was also full of confidence, because now his son is conquering Wuhuan in the north, and he doesn't want to put all the burden on his son.
That's why they planned to confront Sun Ce and the others from Eastern Wu, and then waited for Cao Ang to finish his work and turn around to deal with Sun Ce and the others.
It was precisely because of this idea that Cao Cao did not conduct a detailed investigation of Sun Ce's strength.
Although there is no detailed investigation, Cao Cao still knows Sun Ce's strength. No matter how much he leaves, he may defeat himself, and it is impossible to attack Hefei.
But the facts made Cao Cao a little uncontrollable. Sun Ce suddenly seemed to become extremely fierce, and he beat Cao Cao so embarrassingly.
Cao Cao didn't expect this kind of thing, and what made him even more unexpected was that he would lose this important Hefei.
This kind of result is something he Cao Cao has never experienced. Since the Battle of Nawan City, Cao Cao has never experienced such a heavy defeat, let alone endured such a humiliation.
For this, Cao Cao was very angry and blamed himself.
The reason why such a situation happened is that Cao Cao has an unshirkable responsibility, so Cao Cao has no face to ask Cao Ang for help.
...
321 Chapter [-] Great Prestige
Although Cao Cao didn't have the face to ask Cao Ang for help, but now that the matter is urgent, it is no longer a problem that can be solved by face.
Those Soochow troops have already occupied Hefei, and now they will definitely attack Shouchun where Cao Cao is located.
And from Hefei along those rivers, you can reach Shouchun soon, and Shouchun belongs to the entrance of Yingshui at that geographical location. If Shouchun is also breached, it will be a big problem for Xudu. There is one less barrier.
What makes people even more nervous is that those Soochow troops are very good at water combat, and they even have the title of strong water master. If Soochow goes all the way along the Yingshui and directly hits the mainland of the Central Plains, it will be impossible. danger of reversal.
Soochow's navy is extremely powerful, so once they enter the Central Plains, those Central Plains troops will definitely be very difficult to stop.
Unstoppable, the rest is to flee in embarrassment, but on the Central Plains, Cao Cao's capital is still there, so all he can do is to move the capital.
Moving the capital is not the worst outcome for Cao Cao. If the Soochow army insists on it, then Huainan will be lost, and even some areas in Henan will be swallowed by Soochow.
Once such a situation occurs, let alone ten years for Cao Wei, even if Cao Wei is given 20 or 30 years, he may not be able to regain the lost place.
It is even more nonsense to talk about the situation of unifying the world. Not only will it not be able to unify the world, but it will even become a situation of constant opposition. Even Soochow will wipe out Cao Wei. It is not impossible for such a thing to happen.
"Wei Gong, the battle is so urgent now, our department has lost a lot of soldiers and horses and a lot of generals, at this time, please invite the general to come back to sit in command!"
"That's right, Wei Gong, the three generals under the general, Guan Yu, Zhao Yun, and Zhang Liao, if they appear here, they will not only increase our morale, but also improve our combat power. This is Hefei. It can be won in one fell swoop!"
After encountering such a situation, many generals felt a little impatient. For Cao Ang in the north, they even wanted to be transferred back to give advice.
They still believe in Cao Ang's ability very much, and in their hearts, only Cao Ang can save the current situation.
Xu Chu on the side felt very heavy after hearing the words of the other generals. This kind of failure was not only about Cao Cao himself, but also related to them generals.
"Wei Gong, these are also good suggestions, or else we can ask the general to come back and preside over the overall situation!"
Xu Chu was also very uncomfortable in his heart. Who is willing to hand over such a mess to the general?
But now there is no way to do this. Xu Chu is a general, he doesn't know how to make suggestions, and he doesn't know how to do this.
Therefore, after hearing what the generals said, Xu Chu also felt that it was safer to do this.
Under such circumstances, if you want to stabilize the situation or regain the lost place, you must send reinforcements.
And thinking that after moving the rescuers, the only one who could find him was Cao Ang.
It can be said that Cao Ang is their last hope. If Cao Ang can rush over, then there may be a slight chance for this battle or the land of Hefei.
Cao Cao was very entangled in his heart, and he was very clear about such things, but the reason why he didn't speak up was also because he had two concerns.
The first reason is that the communication is really inconvenient now.
If you want to call Cao Ang back now, you only need a letter, but the problem now is that Cao Ang is not idle, but regained Liaoxi and Liaodong in the north.
Therefore, under such circumstances, Cao Cao didn't know what Cao Ang was like now. If he recalled it hastily, wouldn't it have a great impact on Cao Ang's plan to recover the land of Liaodong and Liaoxi?
Such a thing must never happen. After all, if Cao Ang knew that Cao Cao was in trouble, he would definitely put everything down to rescue Cao Cao.
This made Cao Cao very worried.
Another point is that Cao Cao already felt extremely ashamed of such a situation. How could he have the face to send Cao Ang a message to let him come here?
Cao Ang considered the strength of Sun Ce and others, and also considered the occurrence of various situations, so when he went to recover the land in western Liaoning, he only brought some diehard members of the Cao family with him, as well as elite tiger and leopard cavalry, which was not enough. Ten thousand elite.
The reason why Cao Ang chose such a situation was firstly to deal with the attack of Sun Ce and others, and secondly to deceive others.
Therefore, there are still a lot of troops left for Cao Cao. It can be said that all the troops are in Cao Cao's hands.
But it was such a situation that the two sides that were originally evenly matched would end up with Cao Cao's failure. This situation simply made him unbelievable.
While unbelievable, it is also the endless humiliation, which can be said to be shy and anxious.
Cao Cao, as the general, has an indelible responsibility in this battle, so how should he face Cao Ang?
Although he is the highest general, no one dares to say that he is Cao Cao, but he is also the father of Cao Ang!
As a father, Cao Cao naturally hoped that he would impress his son as a brave, wise, and even dignified father.
But where is the majesty in such a situation now?
I have already lost Hefei, which has an extremely important strategic position, so what is the majesty now?
Simply a joke!
It was because of this that Cao Cao didn't want Cao Ang to come back, and even wanted to try again. If he could take Hefei back, he would still have some face.
However, Cao Cao already deeply understood in his heart that such a situation is already impossible to happen.
When Cao Cao was feeling anxious, Xu Chu, who was standing aside, reminded him again: "Duke Wei, I hope you can put the overall situation first!"
Although Xu Chu is a general, he seems to be able to see through Cao Cao's mind. He also understands this situation very well, so he wants Cao Cao to focus on the overall situation.
"Wei Gong, it's not long since Soochow took Hefei. If the general is called back now, you and the general will join forces, and our army's morale will be greatly shaken. Maybe some miracle will happen then!"
"On the contrary, if you don't recall the general now, it will be very difficult to do anything after the Soochow army firmly holds Hefei in their hands. By then, the Huainan area will become their pocket If you want to resist again, you will have no chance at all!"
Chapter 322 Pull it out and try
Although Xu Chu didn't have any tricks, he was a battle-tested general after all, and he was very clear about the situation before him.
