Chapter 159: Stop holding the army

Cao Cao and Mrs. Ding returned to Xuchang City

(In history, after Mrs. Ding left Cao Cao, she never returned to Cao Cao. Although Cao Cao couldn't bear to let Mrs. Ding go to visit and persuade her many times, Mrs. Ding did not respond or express any response. In desperation, Cao Cao found her mother-in-law and asked Mrs. Ding to remarry. Cao Cao was a person who only eats alone, and possessiveness was considered the first, no one dared to say second, but Cao Cao actually asked Mrs. Ding to remarry. What kind of mood is this? How deep does she love Mrs. Ding love her! Of course, even if Cao Cao said that Mrs. Ding would remarry her, who would dare to marry her? Wasn't she waiting to die? In the end, Mrs. Ding never got married until she died and was always in her parents' home. Cao Cao sent people to send money to her parents' home regularly. Although this is not in history, we can imagine that Mrs. Ding would have no worries about food and drink at her parents' home!)

(What Cao Cao said before his death that the person I feel most sorry for in this life is his Mrs. Ding. There are records in the Three Kingdoms. It can be imagined that the person Cao Cao loved most in his life should be Mrs. Ding. Before his death, he was still thinking about Mrs. Ding!)

(This novel is adapted here, I just want to give Cao Cao a comfort. Such a historical celebrity is concerned about Mrs. Ding for life. It can be regarded as seeing Cao Cao from another perspective, which is to give Cao Cao a flower. After all, everyone knows that Cao Cao is lustful)

Cao Cao put on his clothes and went out to the study. Xun Yu had not arrived yet. Cao Cao was drinking tea alone. He smiled and held the letter from Jingchu and Li Zhe to Cao Cao. It was the letter with the word "Jizhou"!

Xun Yu arrived and entered the study. Cao Cao looked at Xun Yu and said, "You are looking at this."

Xun Yu held the letter and said, "Prime Minister, this two-character Jizhou Weichen did not understand what it means."

Cao Cao said, "I'll tell you a story."

"The story of hunters and bears. There is a group of hunters hunting in the mountains. Suddenly, they encountered a big bear. The bear was as tall as a tree, so the hunter had no room to fight back and could only escape. But someone fell and didn't have time to run away, so the man didn't get up and just hit and died. But the bear turned around and turned to the man, but there was no response. The bear thought he was dead, so he gave up on him and looked for food directly. This man was saved. After all, he was just a commoner."

"But this bear killed my mother-in-law and father-in-law, almost killed Mrs. Ding, and almost killed me. What should you say do I do?"

Xun Yu said: "The chief ordered the army to catch this bear, so as to avoid cholera people."

Cao Cao said, "This is not urgent. Don't you understand the meaning of the story I told?"

Xun Yu replied: "Prime Minister, who is this bear referring to, and who is this person who pretends to be dead?"

Cao Cao said: "Li Zhe can see, why don't you understand? This bear refers to us, and this person who pretends to be dead refers to Yuan Shao, Jizhou."

Xun Yu was stunned and said, "Prime Minister, I have to keep a close eye on Jizhou right now. I can't let Jizhou salted fish turn over."

Cao Cao laughed and said, "Salted fish are good, but have you ever thought about it? You can see the fish floating on the water, but the fish under the water are terrible."

Xun Yu said: "The Prime Minister means, does Yuan Shao have foreign aid?"

"As soon as I ordered, I transferred 50,000 troops from Silizhou to garrison in Qingzhou, and let Cao Hong's cavalry fall 50,000 to ambush in eastern Jizhou."

Xun Yu said: "Prime Minister, then our Sili Zhou will be empty. How can we defend against Jingchu?"

Cao Cao laughed and said, "You don't understand, follow my orders. Since Li Zhe gave us this, he just told us that he would not fight with us, but wanted to reap profits or watch the fun."

After Xun Yu agreed to the promise, An sent him to the door. Cao Cao was suspicious and thought to himself, why is Li Zhe's eyes so clear? He could predict everything in front of me. Am I really not as good as him or have no capable people under his command?

In Yuzhou, Xu Shu had arranged all the defense zones in Yuzhou, and arranged more than one million people and hundreds of thousands of troops brought by Meng Huo.

On that day, Xu Shu, Guan Yu, Ji Ling and Meng Huo discussed in the house and said, "The population here in Yuzhou is already the population of the continent. Moreover, the house is built and the people live in peace. General Guan can return to Jingchu. You are not indispensable to the lord!"

Guan Yu said: "Military advisor, when will the last one set out?"

"Tomorrow, the faster the better. The lord should consider Nishikawa. Maybe he hasn't figured out which generals he has led, so he should be quick and he can contribute to the lord."

I had already written a letter to my lord the day before yesterday. Maybe it's time to come back today. You can prepare today. When the letter of my lord arrives tomorrow, you can leave!

After receiving the letter, Li Zhe kept looking at the map of the prefectures and counties by himself, staring at him without any reaction.

After one day and two days, Guan Yu's army had already prepared, but the lord's letter was too late and he was anxious to death.

On the third day, Xu Shu received a reply from his lord, and Xu Shu took the letter and opened it. It was the letter he of course gave Li Zhe, but there were four more words underground, "Don't move"!

After reading it, Xu Shu said, "General Chuanguan"

Guan Yu came to Xu Shu's mansion, and Xu Shu said, "Chen Yun doesn't need to leave anymore. The lord replied, asking you to keep your troops still."

Guan Yu didn't understand what he meant and said, "What does lord mean?"

Xu Shu said, "I don't understand. The letter was sent for five days. Maybe the lord has been exploring something in the past few days. It has not been decided. Now there should be a decision. So he issued an order to keep our troops still. There may be a new war not far away!"

Guan Yu was silent, and Xu Shu was also touching his beard and pondering. Xu Shu thought, opened the map and looked at Jizhou, looked at Xuzhou, looked at Yuzhou and Jingchu, and then looked at Qingzhou and Yanzhou. Suddenly, he understood!

Xu Shu said: "It seems that our Yuzhou is going to do our best!"

Guan Yu said: "Please make clear instructions from the military advisor."

"Please look at Yun Chang. Xu Shu pointed to Jizhou on the map. If Yuan Shao's Jizhou counterattack, it could lead to the chaos of the entire princes. In this way, Xuzhou might take the opportunity to attack Qingzhou. When they attack Qingzhou, we can attack Xuzhou and avenge Ma Su."

Guan Yu looked at the map, his eyes slightly opened and then said, "In this way, I, Guan Yu, will hit this head for a while."
