I was kicked out by Sun Quan, and I turned to Cao thief

Chapter 260
Liucheng.

On the city wall, Cao Cao is wearing a big red robe, with a waist knife on his waist, looking out of the city.

Boss Cao's face was a little dignified. Obviously, the current battle situation is not optimistic.

Ta Dun turned into a ground mouse, and stopped attacking the city, digging tunnels in the direction of Liucheng.

Although Cao Cao ordered Cao Ren and Xiahou Dun to harass them from Jieshi Road and White Wolf Road respectively.

However, this can only slow down their digging speed, and sooner or later they will still have to dig under the city of Liucheng.

You know, this is the north, not the south.

If you are in the south, you are really not afraid of digging tunnels.

Because there is a lot of water in the south, wells can be dug on the spot and water can be poured into the tunnels.

However, the North is different.

The north is already arid, and the groundwater is very deep, making it difficult to dig wells.

The water source in Liucheng is only enough for the soldiers to eat, and it is simply unrealistic to pour water into the tunnels.

As far as the current situation is concerned, in three days at most, Taton will be excavated to the base of Liucheng City.

"Military division, if the coalition forces of the three races attack, how can we stop them?" Cao Cao asked Jia Xu.

Jia Xu stroked his goatee and said to Cao Cao, "Lord, fire and water have no mercy."

"Since you can't stop it with water, stop it with fire."

"When the enemy army attacks through the tunnel, we will spray fire oil from the city wall to stop the enemy with fire."

"Although the effect is not as good as flooding, it can also make the enemy suffer."

"However, we can only defend Liucheng. If we want to defeat the enemy, we still have to look at the progress of the young master."

Compared with the forces of Wuhuan, Xianbei, and Xiongnu, the forces in Cao Cao's hands are slightly insufficient.

Jia Xu still has confidence in defending Liucheng.

However, if he wanted to defeat the coalition forces of the three races, he had to wait for Su Ming to get the results and break through Wuhuan's lair.

Only when the coalition forces of the three races are panicked can they defeat the coalition forces of the three races more thoroughly.

Cao Cao and Jia Xu were chatting on the city wall. Suddenly, a messenger hurried over. He rushed to Cao Cao, knelt down on one knee and said, "Prime Minister, something is wrong!"

"Bingzhou, the senior cadres of Bingzhou rebelled."

Gao Gan was Yuan Shao's nephew. After Yuan Shao's death, Cao Cao occupied Yuan Shao's territory.Yuan Tan and Yuan Xi also fled to Wuhuan.

When the senior cadre saw it, he couldn't support himself alone.

So, he simply surrendered to Cao Cao.

Gao Gan is Yuan Shao's nephew, Cao Cao must not trust Gao Gan.

Originally, Cao Cao was going to transfer the high-ranking officials to Xudu and arrange a vacancies for him.

However, send another one of your own cronies to take over the position of senior cadres.

However, since Cao Cao has just occupied Yuan Shao's territory, there are many things in Jizhou, Qingzhou, and Youzhou.

Cao Cao was going to deal with the affairs of Jizhou, Qingzhou, and Youzhou first, and then deal with the affairs of Bingzhou.

After all, the other half of Bingzhou is in the hands of Xiliang Ma Teng.

The high-ranking officials did not pose any threat to Ma Teng, so Ma Teng was able to allow him to occupy half of Bingzhou.

If Cao Cao came, then Ma Teng would have to make a move.

Therefore, Cao Cao did not change senior officials for the time being, and wanted to wait for himself to free up his hands before doing this.

Who would have thought that before he could free his hand, the three tribes of Xianbei, Wuhuan and Xiongnu would attack first.

This time, after the three grassland tribes sent troops to surround Liucheng, Yuan Tan and Yuan Xi sent people to send letters to Gao Gan.

Let Gao Gan raise troops to rebel in Bingzhou to contain Cao Cao's troops.

Gao Gan is Yuan Xi, Yuan Tan's cousin, so here's the relationship!

Therefore, after receiving this letter, Gao Gan decided to rebel after thinking about it.

Now, Cao Cao's territory is too big.

He has now occupied Yuzhou, Xuzhou, Yanzhou, Sizhou, Qingzhou, Youzhou, Jizhou, and half of Bingzhou in name.

Of the thirteen prefectures of the Han Dynasty, Cao Cao occupied half of them alone.

The territory is too large, and it faces a very serious problem, that is, the serious shortage of troops.

At this time, except for the troops left behind in various places, all of Cao Cao's troops had been suppressed on the Liucheng battlefield.

Even so, his strength was seriously inadequate.

Gao Gan rebelled at this time. It can be said that a knife was inserted into Cao Cao's lung tube.

At this time, the three grassland tribes in the front may attack at any time, and the high-ranking officials in the rear rebelled again.

After hearing the news, Cao Cao really had a big head.

He really has no more soldiers to use!

At this time, once troops are transferred from Liucheng, the front line may be empty.

At that time, if there is a loss in Liucheng, the consequences will be unbearable no matter what.

"Military division, how should this be done!"

"Now, I don't care about my head, and I don't care about my head!" Cao Cao hurriedly asked Jia Xu for advice.

Jia Xu stroked his breath, at this moment, he had a solution in mind.

However, I don't know if Cao Cao is willing to listen.

Jia Xu's method is to give up half of Bingzhou. However, abandoning the territory of Bingzhou is not for high-ranking officials.

Instead, give Bingzhou to Ma Teng.

Directly use the name of the little emperor to issue an imperial decree, ordering Ma Teng to take charge of Bingzhou, and ordering him to lead his troops to encircle and suppress high-ranking officials.

In Jia Xu's view, Bingzhou is a tasteless place, tasteless to eat and a pity to throw away.

Cao Cao's current territory is large enough, and many places have just been acquired and urgently need to be governed.

Jizhou is a place of wealth and wealth, Yuan Shao's base camp, and this is the place where stability is most needed.

The only advantage of Bingzhou is that it is close to the grassland, can raise horses, and expand cavalry.

However, Cao Cao won the land of Qingzhou and Youzhou, and he was able to raise horses and expand his cavalry.

The most important thing is that Bingzhou is half of Ma Teng and Gao Gan.

When Cao Cao won this place, he had to send troops to garrison and defend it.

The annual military expenditure is not a small number!
Therefore, in Jia Xu's view, it is better to give Bingzhou to Ma Teng first, let Ma Teng wipe out the high-ranking officials, and stick to Bingzhou to resist foreign enemies.

When Cao Cao consolidated his territory and wanted to dominate the world, it would not be too late to win Bingzhou.

However, this is to make Cao Cao give up the territory he has already obtained.

Moreover, the relationship between Cao Cao and Ma Teng was not harmonious.Ma Teng once signed the clothes and belt edict to destroy Cao Cao.

Cao Cao has always been afraid of Ma Teng in his heart.

Therefore, Jia Xu had to sort out a set of rhetoric to persuade Cao Cao.

Jia Xu was thinking about how to persuade Cao Cao, but when he gave up, he saw another messenger rushing over.

Cao Cao has not recovered from the news of the rebellion by high-ranking officials!
Another messenger ran over and knelt down in front of Cao Cao.

Even though Boss Cao is a person who has seen the big world, at this moment, he feels a little uncertain!
