Chapter 1058

However, if they withdraw from Hefei, it will obviously be a blow to the morale of the army and the prestige of Cao Cao.

Among other things, none of the generals in front of him would be convinced.

Therefore, it is very difficult for Cao Cao to make this decision, whether it is to withdraw or not.

"You also talk about whether to withdraw or not." Cao Cao asked several counsellors.

Several counsellors hesitated. They were literati and worried about more. It was difficult for them to make a decision.

A few people dare not speak easily, Cao Cao is very helpless.

"All the generals, go back and prepare for war."

Cao Cao is helpless. They are here. They put too much pressure on these civil servants.

Just now, one wants to go to Zhang Yu. Now they want these civil servants to give different suggestions. They are all afraid of being torn up by these generals.

Cao Cao said, "if we don't withdraw from the army, I'm afraid we must send a very trustworthy army to restrain the soldiers. Otherwise, once the soldiers are out of control and attack the people in the city, the matter will not end well."

Cao Cao has never made such a difficult decision.

He has always been very decisive.

Last time Zhang Yu forced him to abandon Liu Xie, he never made such a difficult decision.

Although all the generals left, more than a dozen counsellors did not dare to speak easily.

It's too hard to decide. They all know the seriousness of the matter.

I don't know if there will be any bad end in the future.

Once they say they will not retreat, none of them will come out. If the people in the city suffer, they will face even greater disaster.

For more than an hour, there was no one to talk to. Cao Cao asked people to move tables and chairs. A few people sat there. Occasionally, someone drank tea on the table, and then it was very quiet.

It's a big deal. Decision making is so difficult.

Zhang Yu didn't leave them much time, five days, they only had five days.

Five days, now almost two days have passed.

In fact, Cao Cao had only one day to make a decision.

Cao Cao waited for more than an hour, but no one spoke, so he had to take the lead.

"Tell me about it. No matter what happens in the future, as long as I'm still here, no one dares to move you. Besides, ang'er is kind and knows the overall situation."

Cao Cao should reassure them and assure them.

Several of their counsellors knew that Cao Cao would not attack them, but Cao Cao was old after all. Who knew if other people would settle accounts with them.

Cao Cao's method is so clever that he can control others.

Once Cao Cao is away, what will happen to them, or will someone come to their descendants to settle the accounts.

These are what they are worried about. Cao Cao, who has been forced to make decisions, can only make things clear.

People are still worried, but they don't have much choice.

If Cao Cao can't afford it, it means they can't afford it. They have to make a choice.

Cheng Yu said: "Lord, it's better to retreat. If you don't retreat, it's hard to control."

There are too many consequences of not retreating.

But Jia Xu said, "Lord, it's probably the best choice to let all the soldiers in the city go out to fight with Zhang Yu."

Jia Xu's proposal is very constructive. Before, they were all tangled about whether to withdraw or not, but they didn't think of other plans.

Now, Jia Xu gives them a better choice.

Zhang Yu just asked them to withdraw from the city. When they arrived outside the city, they also withdrew.

They can also accept a decisive battle outside the city.

In the city, Cao's army deployed 80000 troops, originally planning to resist them for 10 to 15 days, and then withdraw.

The original plan is to use several cities to hold Zhang Yu for about a year, and finally keep Shouchun City, and then their whole power will settle down.

Luoyang and Chang'an are not so difficult to recover. He believes in Cao Ang's talent.

Everything is well calculated. But Zhang Yu doesn't want them to go as planned.

In the northern battle, they lost several places in succession.

The most important thing is the loss of troops.

Zhang Yu likes to surround himself when he is fighting, and then attack from all sides, eating all the troops in his city at one go.

This is not the best way to play.

The best thing is to encircle the city and give the army hope that they will not fight to the end.

But Zhang Yu didn't do that. He attacked from all sides and fought to the end if he didn't surrender.

There is no other choice.

Zhang Yu did not expect that when Cao Jun went back, one veteran could be worth several recruits.

Zhang Yu lost more troops and didn't let Cao's troops have a chance to withdraw.

Only Zhang Yu dares to do this, and only Zhang Yu can afford it.

The reason is very simple. In this way, none of Cao's soldiers, whether soldiers or generals, can go back.

It's a big blow. Whoever is surrounded by Zhang Yu can't go back.

Cao Cao lost many generals and excellent soldiers in a short time.

In this way, Cao Cao must be very careful next.

Carefully, once an important general is surrounded by Zhang Yu, he has to find a way to rescue him.

Zhang Yu's fighting is so simple and rough.

During this period, Cao Cao really lost a lot, which he did not expect.

It's too far from the previous strategy.

At first, Zhang Yu's progress was really slow, but later it became faster and faster.

But Zhang Yu, does not consider the consequence at all.

When he lost more troops, he immediately replenished them from the rear. Now, the rear has been training new troops.

Zhang Yu will supplement as much as he consumes.

Keeping the whole army in a certain number all the time put great pressure on Cao Cao.

Cao Cao did not dare to neglect, so he immediately ordered the troops in Hefei to fight outside the city.

"Let XiaHouYuan lead 30000 troops to support, and the troops will be under his command. After a fight, the general will withdraw as far as possible, and the king himself will lead his troops to meet him."

Fighting is a must. It must be fought well outside the city. Otherwise, Cao Cao is afraid of Zhang Yu, which is no different from direct retreat.

Cao Cao finally made such a difficult decision. Although he controlled the influence to the minimum, it was very unfavorable to them.

"It's difficult."

Cao Cao sighed.

Zhang Yu, however, said, "after I came here, I used to bully more and less. If you have the ability, Cao Cao is just like Yuan Shu in those days. You should recruit soldiers at all costs."

Zhang Yu was not surprised by Cao Cao's choice. He began to order the army to pull out of the camp and set out for Hefei city.
