Liu Qi, the hegemon of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 714 Cao Cao's Decision

"I didn't expect such an accident to happen!" Xi Zhicai sighed.

He also did not expect such a situation to arise, which was completely different from his estimate, but it cannot be said that his estimate was wrong, but there were too many changes during the period, which caught people off guard.

For example, Tai Shici was in Sun Shangxiang's mansion, he didn't estimate this.

Moreover, even the ministers of the Wu state didn't know about this matter, let alone him. If they knew, the Han army would not be able to take advantage of it and directly attack Jianye City from the inside.

This is an unexpected situation.

Cao Cao nodded and said: "No matter what, the southern part of the Central Plains is now under the command of Emperor Han!"

Although there is still a Wu army led by Lu Xun, it cannot change the fact that the Han State occupies the southern part of the Central Plains.

"Your Majesty, now Han is not under the control of Wu, and our army has suffered a lot from resisting the Xiongnu and Karasuma. Emperor Han may take the opportunity to plan our territory, so we have to guard against it!" Xi Zhicai was worried. Said.

Previously, it was thought that Han and Wu were still in a stalemate, and their side was about to calm down the war between Bingzhou and Youzhou.

Then you only need to make arrangements first, and when the war situation in the two states is completely settled, you can directly send troops to oppress the Han State and let the Han State retreat from the Wu State.

Of course, it wasn't about helping Wu Guo.

But the state of Wu cannot be destroyed yet.

After all, Han State is powerful, and Wu State needs to contain it, so that Wei State can have time to recover.

Only then will it have the strength to fight against Han.

But they didn't expect that the state of Wu had already been wiped out before they could completely pacify the two states.

"It's not a possibility, but a certainty. Emperor Han will definitely take advantage of this opportunity, and when the Xiongnu and Karasuma are all driven out by our army, he will directly send troops to attack our country!" Cao Cao said with a flash of his eyes.

Without the restraint of Wu Guo, and his strength has been greatly reduced, it would be a strange thing if Liu Qi didn't think or act.

One must know that once Wu was destroyed, the Central Plains would be controlled by him in the north, while Liu Qi would occupy the south.

One mountain cannot accommodate two tigers.

The overlord of the Central Plains can only have one person, and there will be no accidents.

For this reason alone, it was enough for Liu Qi to have a reason to do something, let alone such a good opportunity.

The chances of winning and losing are quickly determined.

"Your Majesty, then...!" Xi Zhicai didn't know what to say.

Facing such a predicament, no matter how smart he is, he has no solution.

Because no matter what, the Han State will not allow them time to recover, and there is no restraint from the Wu State, let alone other forces that make the Han State scruples. It is an unsolvable problem.

Today's Han State can use all its strength without any scruples to attack their land of Wei State.

Of course Cao Cao knew what Xi Zhicai wanted to say, rubbed his head, and said: "According to our current situation, we can't hold off the Han army for long, even if we fight against it, we will only lose more than we win. !"

For such a situation, he also felt very headache.

It was unexpected for him to develop into the current situation, but it has become a fact, and he still needs to consider how to deal with such a thing.

"What do you think His Majesty should do?" Xi Zhicai asked.

Today's affairs are not something he can consider. This is a matter related to the survival of Wei, and Cao Cao still needs to make his own choices.

Most importantly, he didn't think of any solution, even if there was, he couldn't say it out of his mouth.

Although Cao Cao would not have the idea of ​​blaming him, the rest of the people might not.

And as far as he is concerned, he is not convincing. Even if he is the prime minister of the Wei state and has a lot of prestige in the Wei state, he cannot decide the fate of the Wei state.

How to make a decision is a matter for Cao Cao, the king of Wei.

heard.

Cao Cao fell silent.

He is also clear that even if the rest of the civil and military officials are not around now, they cannot be convened to discuss matters in a short time.

He didn't have much time to gather the crowd.

And the decision he made now is related to the survival of the Wei state.

Seeing Cao Cao was silent.

Xi Zhicai didn't urge him either. After all, such a decision still needs careful consideration, and it's impossible to make a decision immediately.

Just wait quietly.

a long time…….

Cao Cao watched the battlefield being cleaned up, and slowly began to build up the soldiers of the camp.

The light in his eyes also became firm, and he said: "Zhicai, take my sword and rush back to Chang'an quickly, and make arrangements, within half a month, you will withdraw from Chang'an and continue to go north!"

"I will send orders to the various places, so that the soldiers and horses from all over the place will chase the Xiongnu and Karasuma, go all the way north, and finally gather the soldiers and horses to join you!"

Cao Cao also expressed his decision.

"Your Majesty, this...!" Xi Zhicai was also surprised, he didn't expect Cao Cao to make such a decision.

It has been decided.

Cao Cao didn't have too many thoughts in his mind. Apart from this, there is no other way to preserve Wei.

Staying, nothing can be changed, and in the end it was only annexed by Han.

He waved his hand and said: "What Emperor Qi can do, I can do the same, and it's not like there is no chance of coming back, let's carry out the order!"

"promise!"

Seeing Cao Cao so determined.

Xi Zhicai also sighed secretly, and then complied. He also knew that Cao Cao's decision was the best decision, at least Wei Guo could survive.

As for returning to the Central Plains?

This is something worth pondering, at least it will not be better than the current situation of staying in the Central Plains, and it may be even worse.

Just keep an expectation in your heart!

"Your Majesty is leaving now, please be careful!" Xi Zhicai cupped his hands.

Now that there is such a decision.

He also didn't want to procrastinate, leaving now, rushing back to Chang'an, and making arrangements was the most appropriate.

After all, Han Guo didn't know when to act.

"Yeah!" Cao Cao nodded.

He didn't want to make such a choice, but in the current situation, he could only make such a choice.

As for another option, he hadn't thought about it.

But that would only increase the casualties in vain, causing everyone under his command to die, and it would be difficult to change the outcome.

If Liu Qi were replaced by Liu Bei, Sun Quan and others, then he would still have the idea of ​​Yibo, but it is not.

Moreover, even if there is enough chance of winning, Liu Qi will not relax his vigilance, giving him a chance to fight back.

Not to mention the chance of a fatal blow.

As soon as Xi Zhicai bowed his hand, he took Cao Cao's sword, turned his horse's head, and was about to take a few soldiers with him, then left and rushed to Chang'an.

Wait for Xi Zhi to leave.

Cao Cao didn't make any movements, his eyes were also flickering.

He did not expect that the fight between him and Liu Qi would end in such a situation, but this is the fact.

ah~
A faint long sigh came from Cao Cao's mouth.
