Chaos in Chang'an is not a matter of one day or two.
Cao Cao in Luoyang also received news.
Some aides suggested that he immediately send troops to guard Chang'an, which is the last place for them to retreat.
Cao Cao was seriously ill, but the state was in danger, and his son was in danger in Wancheng.
Cao Cao called some of his staff.
"Ladies and gentlemen, what do you think of the current state affairs?"
Cheng Yu, Jia Xu, Xu you, man Pang, and several other aides fell into deep meditation.
Man Pang got up and said, "Your Majesty, we should send troops to guard Chang'an. Now Chang'an is unstable, which will affect the morale of the soldiers in front of us."
This is a very serious problem. Cao Cao has thought about it several times.
He didn't immediately agree, and his face changed a few times.
"Cough cough ~" Cao Cao coughed a few times, and then said: "you, what's your opinion?"
The others were silent.
"All right." Cao Cao sighed and understood what people thought.
"Chang'an, let it be developed, and these aristocratic families dare not revolt."
It's not that Cao Cao doesn't understand that Chang'an chaos will affect morale.
But now they can't send troops to Chang'an.
There are not enough troops in the front line. If Luoyang falls, what's the use of keeping Chang'an.
If Hulao pass is broken, Luoyang is broken, or Wancheng is broken, Cao Cao group may collapse in an instant.
Even if their troops retreated to Chang'an, they were just surviving.
Even before long, Zhang Yu will attack Chang'an with his army.
Therefore, Cao Cao can not send troops to guard Chang'an, but must let Chang'an be restless.
In Chang'an, of course, Cao Cao will not completely ignore it, but he will not send many troops to manage it.
He plans to send 20000 troops to the base, and to be a second-line army.
It turned out that there were more than ten thousand troops in Chang'an City, so Cao Cao sent more people there.
There's no way. Zhang Yu has been besieged on three sides. He doesn't have many troops in his hand.
"In this war, we have no way out. Chang'an is not our way out. Once we retreat to Chang'an, we will die in three months." Cao Cao said to the crowd.
It's not pessimism, it's reality.
When they retreated to Chang'an, the morale of the army and the people would collapse in an instant. They would not even need Zhang Yu to send out a large army to attack, and they would be in chaos by themselves.
At this time, not only Chang'an but also Luoyang was not peaceful.
I don't know how many people have different ideas.
It's very normal.
Now it's too obvious that the general trend is like this, and it's hard for Cao Cao to hold on for long.
Cao Cao's counsellors, after the discussion, went back separately.
"Well, I was at yuan Benchu's first place, and later I came to Cao Cao's, and both of them made great contributions. But these two men are both rotten goods and short-lived ghosts. My life is miserable." On the way back, Xu you thought.
Xu you is greedy for money and lives and works for his own interests.
But now the people he attached to are going to fall, which makes him very upset.
Xu you was very clever. Before, Cao Cao could be separated from others, and he could accept it, so he actively offered suggestions for Cao Cao.
Xu you is very clever and has good ideas.
But now, he can see clearly that it is only a matter of time before Zhang Yu defeats Cao Cao.
The difference of national strength is several times, which is not a grade at all.
"What should we do? With my friendship with Zhang Yu, I still can't make him open to me. " Xu you said with self-knowledge.
When he came to join Cao Cao, he also came here with his name certificate.
Now, without the registration, how can he make Zhang Yu an exception?
At this moment, he has no nomination to use.
Xu you is very irritable, and after he goes back, he is alone in the room.
"God will kill me."
In fact, Xu you can't let go of such a large family property. He made a lot of money and property in Yuan Shaona, but after Zhang Yu came over, he had to abandon many of them.
A large number of real estate and farmland were directly confiscated by Zhang Yu.
Today, he still has a lot of property, which he brought out at the beginning, and later he made a lot of money with his ability.
Nowadays, although many of them have been changed into silver tickets, most of them are still farmland and real estate.
When Luoyang was stable, Xu you bought a lot of property, but now it's almost gone.
He was very unwilling.
It's not only him, but also many aristocratic families.
Many aristocratic families have been relocated several times. The original family is so big that there is no money left now. If Zhang Yu comes back, he will continue to lose 70%, which makes them feel too bad.
It's hard to be miserable, but what can be done.
"If you persuade Meng De to ask Ma Teng to fight with Liu Bei, maybe you still have a chance, or let Ma Teng attack Meng de secretly and give Zhang Yu a name certificate?" Xu you suddenly has a crazy idea.
It is not difficult to persuade Ma Teng to beat Cao Cao.
It's just that it may not do him any good.
Zhang Yu and Cao Cao are both smart people. He can't control all this.
Xu you hesitated.
It's too hard.
Let him go to Zhang Yu. If he can do it, he will do it at this time, but he has no chance at all.
"It's hard. In a few months, Zhang Yu will be killed." Xu you thought.
Ma Teng and Cao Cao have always been able to get along well. In fact, it's very simple. It's all because of Zhang Yu.
Ma Teng's strength is not as good as Cao Cao's, so he dare not take the initiative to attack.
Cao Cao didn't dare to attack Ma Teng. If he couldn't kill Ma Teng all at once, when Zhang Yu came, Ma Teng would attack his rear, so Cao Cao didn't move him.
Now, the balance between the two sides is about to break.
Xu you finally did not think of a way, in vain to stay in the study until midnight.
It was not only Xu you who couldn't sleep, but also Cao Cao.
Cao Cao can be described as internal and external troubles.
And the internal worries are very serious.
The internal worry is not only that Chang'an is unstable, but also that the aristocratic families in Luoyang are very afraid and want to escape.
Outside Hulao pass, Gao Shun is already preparing.
Zhou Yu had already taken the fleet on the Yellow River and approached Luoyang.
Jizhou, Shangdang and other places, the army is ready.
It's not easy to deal with three aspects.
Cao Cao knows that the situation is very bad. Maybe he can't keep it this time.
The national strength is too far apart. If we hold on this time, Zhang Yu can kill us soon.
He has sent for Liu Bei and asked for his support.
However, having learned from the past, Cao Cao's 100000 troops went to support Xiangyang, but he was directly swallowed. Therefore, Cao Cao had no confidence in whether he could let Liu Bei support him.
What Cao Cao didn't know was that inside Ma Teng, two voices were competing.
"Father, give him 30000 troops, and he can take Chang'an."
"In the past, we were afraid of Cao Cao. Now that Cao Cao is under siege, there is nothing to be afraid of."
Ma Chao goes to find Ma Teng and asks to attack Chang'an.
Ma Teng actually coveted Chang'an for a long time, but he didn't dare to fight before. His soldiers and horses were two or three times as big as him, and once he fought, he would get into big trouble.
Today, Cao Cao is very dangerous and may be beaten down at any time.
