Three Kingdoms: The ghost plotter taught Liu Bei to seize Jingzhou first

"It seems that I have underestimated Deng Mu."

"This man's wisdom is truly extraordinary and hard to guard against."

Jia Xu stroked his white beard and sighed with emotion.

There was a sense of helplessness in his words.

That was the helplessness of Deng Mu's wisdom.

At this time.

Ma Chao threw down the urgent report and angrily folded his hands:

"Your Majesty, if Hanzhong is lost, the Han army of the big-eared thief will threaten my Guanzhong hinterland from the south."

"Guanzhong must not be lost!"

"I would like to lead an army into Hanzhong and help Cao Zidan defend Nanzheng, and then recapture Yangping Pass and defend Hanzhong!"

Ma Chao angrily asked for a fight.

Generals on both sides, such as Pang De, also asked for a fight.

Cao Cao clenched his fist and almost agreed to Ma Chao's request. 09

But just as he was about to speak, Jia Xu reminded him in a low voice:

"Your Majesty, I'm afraid that the troops we have on hand are not enough to reinforce Hanzhong."

"Even if we can barely squeeze out some troops and forcibly reinforce Hanzhong, I'm afraid that these troops will be useless."

Cao Cao's heart trembled, and he suddenly realized.

Counting on his fingers, it seems that he really has no troops to transfer.

All the troops were transferred to Jingxing Pass, Tong Pass, and Wu Pass to block the attack of the Han army.

These troops were just enough to stop the Han army's crazy attack.

The troops at these passes must not be transferred anymore.

Then they can only be drawn from the garrisons in the rear, Chang'an, Longxi and other places.

But if the garrison troops in these places are transferred away, what can they do if those who secretly communicate with Liu Bei take the opportunity to cause chaos?

Even if the garrison troops in these places are transferred to Hanzhong, there are only 10,000 or 20,000 people at most.

Including the current troops of Cao Zhen in Hanzhong, there are only 40,000 people.

Can 40,000 people defeat Guan Yu's 80,000 troops, defend Nanzheng, and even further recapture Yangping Pass?

Cao Cao has no confidence in Cao Zhen.

Not to mention that he has no confidence in Cao Zhen, even if he goes there himself, he may not be sure of victory.

After all, Deng Mu is by Guan Yu's side to give advice.

In this case, not only is it impossible to recapture Yangping Pass, but it is also possible that the 20,000 reinforcements will also stay in Hanzhong.

This is losing both the wife and the troops. (To read the exciting novels, go to Faloo Novel Network!)

"Hateful, hateful~~"

Cao Cao punched the battlement, feeling a kind of crazy pain.

"Wenhe is right, our troops are stretched to the limit, and we really can't help Cao Zhen."

"But what should I do? Should I just sit back and let Hanzhong fall?"

Cao Cao was unwilling.

Ma Chao was also unwilling, but he had no choice.

Now, after Jia Xu's reminder, he no longer asked for battle.

Because he also knew that even if he led the army himself and only brought 20,000 people into Hanzhong, it would be impossible to reverse the defeat.

At that time, 507 might not only fail to defend Hanzhong, but also might trap himself.

"Your Majesty, at this point, we can only cut off our own arms."

"Things have come to this point. Yangping Pass has been lost. Hanzhong is absolutely impossible to defend."

"Although this fact is cruel, we cannot but accept it."

"Hanzhong can't be defended anyway, why waste more soldiers? It's better to withdraw the more than 20,000 Hanzhong troops back to Guanzhong immediately."

"These 20,000 people are also precious to our Great Wei. We can't bury them in vain."

Jia Xu sighed and persuaded. []

Cao Cao's heart was shocked, and he shuddered suddenly. .
