Chapter 166 I Leave My Wife and Daughter to You (Please Give Me a Monthly Ticket)

"Man!"

"Boy!"

"Rat!"

At the border of Qinghe State and Wei County, there is a famous Jie Bridge in history. Cao Cao, who used the strategy of luring the enemy, lost many battles and lost most of Qinghe County before attracting the main force of Fa Zheng's troops here, cursed three times, was so angry that he vomited blood and fainted, and fell off his horse.

It's not Cao Cao's fault that he has low tolerance, it's really Liu He who is such a bastard.

To be fair, when Fa Zheng's troops advanced here, under the condition of the frozen Yellow River, they could only rely on sea transportation and then transfer to land logistics, which was already in danger. If Liu He's army really dared to go all out, it was not impossible to cut off Fa Zheng's army's food supply, and then Cao Liu would jointly annihilate Fa Zheng's army at Jie Bridge.

But Liu He first fooled Cao Cao to fight to the death with Fa Zheng, and then took advantage of the confrontation between Cao Cao's army and Fa Zheng's army to attract Fa Zheng's attention, and abandoned his friendly army and fled, which simply refreshed Cao Cao's three views.

This is no longer a beggar-thy-neighbor thing!

Doesn't Liu He know the principle of "the lips and teeth are cold when they are gone"?

Cao Cao understood that unless there was a miracle like a meteorite falling from the sky, he would not have a chance to win, and even the Han Dynasty would be powerless to turn the tide.

"This child is the most unfaithful!"

After Cao Cao woke up, he felt a splitting headache, and his headache was in great pain. He couldn't help but curse again.

Guo Jia, Xun Yu, and Xun You also looked at each other in silence.

No matter how intelligent they were, they couldn't calculate that Liu He was not from this world at all, but a war agent who would leave this world in more than half a year.

Liu He's interests were fundamentally different from Cao Cao's.

If Liu He was a normal native, he would cooperate with Cao Cao to fight to the death in order to survive; but for war agents, unless they were really in a desperate situation, there was no need to take this risk.

[Anyway, the other war agents were probably killed by Dong Ze, and I could at worst get second place, so why take the risk! Just treat this mission as a one-time mission for him. If you have a chance to meet again in the future, you won't be so lucky! ]

Liu He retreated decisively.

He was able to fight in the wild outside the Great Wall for two years with great perseverance and trained an elite army. Naturally, he could also give up the battle in Jizhou where the possibility of failure was extremely high, and look for another opportunity.

[It seems that Youzhou can't be defended. Even if the ambush can be won, it doesn't make much sense. Instead, it's better to seize more territory and gain more war points! ]

[There was news before that Wuhuan and other northeastern tribes knew that the western grasslands were empty of troops and went to attack the nest of the Western Xianbei, so I can do the opposite, destroy the nest of Wuhuan and other tribes, and force these tribes to surrender! ]

[After defeating Wuhuan and the Eastern Xianbei, I can be regarded as nominally unifying the grasslands. It's not too much to be a "Heavenly Khan", right? ]

[What's next? Should I go to Liaodong, or enter Youzhou and fight a decisive battle with Dong Huang in Youzhou? Anyway, it won't be long before the end of the mission, and it doesn't matter if I lose the decisive battle. Or... a big detour, taking advantage of the opportunity when Dong Huang's army hit Jizhou and Youzhou, go south from Hetao or go around the western region to break through Liangzhou? 】

Unlike Dong Huang, who relied on Jia Xu and others for everything, Liu He, who only believed in himself, had a clear idea.

[In short, there is no need to defend Youzhou. First, seize food and grass, tire out the army, kill the big families to see if you can earn some war points and rewards, and then go out! 】

Liu He has made up his mind.

However, what Liu He did not expect was that his perfect strategy was resisted by most of his generals.

Liu He's main generals, such as Tian Yu, Tian Chou, Yan Rou, Qian Zhao, Xian Yu Fu, Xian Yu Yin and others, are all from Youzhou.

People in this era have a strong sense of localism. They may be indifferent to Liu He's army ravaging Jizhou, but they will never allow Liu He to ravage their hometown.

Furthermore, most of these people are not like Dian Wei and Xu Chu. They did not submit to others before submitting to Dong Huang, and they were not the former officials of others. Most of these people under Liu He were the former officials of Liu Yu. They followed Liu He because of Liu Yu.

Before, Liu He was invincible all the way, and he had the momentum of Guangwu's revival. These people were naturally willing to follow him, but now Liu He wanted to destroy his hometown without fighting a battle, and then drag everyone to the grassland to be barbarians. Who can tolerate this?

Brothers follow you, either for wealth and glory in this life, or for the sake of being famous after death. Can you satisfy one of them?

To put it bluntly, even if Liu He was determined to take these generals to fight Dong Huang in Youzhou and perish together, it would inspire the loyalty of the soldiers more than destroying their hometown and entering the desert in a panic.

Liu He calculated everything in strategy and tactics, but he did not calculate the people's hearts.

To put it bluntly, Liu He's personality is very similar to Chen Youliang at the end of the Yuan Dynasty. He has superior character and ability, but he doesn't understand people's hearts, or he doesn't care about people's hearts at all.

Faced with the resistance of his subordinates, Liu He's method of handling it was very simple and brutal. He directly used the name of treason to let the Xianbei archers, a special force recognized by the infinite war space, shoot the most violent Xianyu brothers to death with arrows, and then exterminated their entire clan, and built a Jingguan with their heads for public display.

Now, no one dared to resist him, at least no one dared to resist him openly, but these Youzhou generals, including Qu Yi, could not really be loyal to him.

The sight continued to return to Cao Cao.

Cao Cao and his confidants looked at each other in silence.

It was a dead end in front of them, and the only way to survive was to surrender.

"I am determined to die for the Han Dynasty, and you can do it yourself!"

Cao Cao covered his head and said, almost arranging his funeral.

It is impossible to surrender, his wife and daughter are still being raised in the palace by Dong Huang! How can a man endure such humiliation?

What's more, even if you surrender, will you definitely avoid death? Will my wife and daughter definitely not be humiliated?

Since there are so many uncertainties, it is better to fight to the death and achieve the reputation of a loyal minister!

To win a reputation during and after death, that’s all!

"Lord!"

Guo Jia and the other three burst into tears.

"Don't cry. If the three of you still think you are the master, please help me take care of my wife and daughter, and don't let me suffer the humiliation of Thief Dong again!"

Cao Cao said bitterly.

"Yes, Jia accepts orders!"

Guo Jia said with tears.

"Please also ask Wen Ruo to ask Lu Feng to come first for me."

Cao Cao arranged again.

"Lu Fengxian?"

Xun Yu didn't understand what Cao Cao meant by looking for Lu Bu at this time, because Lu Bu was not a direct descendant of Cao Cao, and his loyalty could not be guaranteed.

"In the old battle of Jizhou, Lu Fengxian betrayed Dong Zhuo and almost plunged Dong Huang into a situation of eternal disaster. Now Lu Fengxian's wife, concubines, and daughters have all been captured by Dong's thieves. He and Dong's thieves are sworn in, and there is no reason to surrender. I am willing to hand over all the cavalry under my command to him. He will take the cavalry and I will take the infantry, so that we may be able to fight Fa Zheng..."

Cao Cao revealed his plan.

When it comes to strategy, he may not be as good as Guo Jia and others, but when it comes to decision-making, he is better than everyone under his command.

"I'm afraid Lu Fengxian will escape without fighting!"

Xun Yu sighed.

"Where can I escape to?"

"Even if you escape, it would be good if you can add a little more trouble to Thief Dong!"

Cao Cao laughed.

Regarding Cao Cao and Liu Bei, Lao Huang felt that they should be regarded as heroes and should have a heroic death, instead of being inexplicable like clowns. Of course, Lao Huang’s pen is not strong enough and his writing is not satisfactory, so please forgive me.
