Chapter 718
Chapter 734 Meng De’S Words Are Very Good!
As the sun rose, the flood of Chang’an City gradually receded.
After Liu Bian handed over all matters in the city to Jia Xu, he led an army of 50,000 people and ran towards Liu Bei’s retreat.
At the same time, Luoyang City welcomed a special guest today.
Cao Cao’s mansion.
Since the news that Liu Bian flooded Chang’an City yesterday and Liu Bei fled, Cao Cao felt extremely depressed.
He thought that even if Liu Bei didn’t use it again, with the strength of Chang’an City, how could he be able to resist Liu Bian’s army for a few months, and he was just able to free up his hands to expand his own territory and enhance his own strength, but he has not yet Action, Liu Bei’s side has been unable to resist.
One can imagine how depressed Cao Cao was after he got the news last night.
Fortunately, a special guest came today, which made Cao Cao look forward to it.
In the study, Cao Cao paced back and forth, waiting for the arrival of the mysterious guest.
“Master! Mr. Xu is here!!”9
Guo Jia’s smiling voice came from outside the door, which made the joy on Cao Cao’s face extremely obvious.
He hurried forward two 460 steps, opened the door of the study, and said heartily: “Wen Yuan, you really made me wait.
That’s right, the person Cao Cao is waiting for is Xu You.
After Xu You left Shouchun, he sent a letter to Cao Cao, and this letter made Cao Cao feel better.
Xu You walked into the study with a smile on his face, and bowed his hands to Cao Cao: “Meng De, you are too polite!”
“What kind of friendship do we have, we have played since childhood, so why should we be so polite?”
Cao Cao said: “I really hope that your life will be too difficult, Ziyuan. Yesterday, Liu Bei’s entire army retreated and Chang’an fell.
“Now that Liu Bian is so powerful, I’m really worried that he doesn’t have much time left for us!
Xu You obviously heard the news just now, he let out an “ah” in surprise, and the smile on his face faded instantly.
“Meng De, are you saying that Liu Bei has been defeated? How could it be so fast?”
“Liu Bei is not a crowd of 100,000 people, even if he is 100,000 pigs, he will not lose Chang’an City so quickly!”
Cao Cao smiled bitterly and said, “If we fight head-on, even if Liu Bei is in bad shape, it won’t be so useless. It’s really an extraordinary move by Liu Bian’s soldiers! 99
“Strange trick? How do you say this?”
Cao Cao said: “Liu Bian dug up the Wei River and spent more than ten days to lead the Wei River to Chang’an City. Facing the monstrous flood, what can Liu Bei do?”5
“Flooded Chang’an City?”
Xu You was surprised: “Doesn’t Liu Bian care about the hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians in the city? Isn’t he afraid of leaving a name for the ages?
“Chang’an City is the old capital of his ancestors of the Han Dynasty. How dare he have such courage?”
Xu You had an unbelievable look on his face, but he knew that Cao Cao would never lie to him in this matter, and now he was just sighing with emotion.
Cao Cao shook his head: “If you don’t get solid information, who can believe it?”
“However, Liu Bian didn’t put the life and death of the whole city at risk, he still left time for the people of the city to retreat.
“It’s a pity that Liu Bei can’t hold on to the end. If he is holding hundreds of thousands of people hostage, I really don’t believe that Liu Bian dares to do it. 35
“What a pity! What a pity!!
Xu You knew how dark he was (cdbi), and if he and Liu Bei exchanged views, Xu You was 100% sure that Cao Cao would never let any of the people leave Chang’an City. Buried with Liu Bian’s fame.
But now is not the time to sigh about Liu Bei’s failure, Xu You cleared his throat and said, “Meng De, this is not the time for us to sigh for Liu Bei, we have to have our own strategy.”
“Liu Bei’s defeat is only a matter of time, and whether he can successfully escape back to Yizhou is still unpredictable.
‘Even if he escapes back to Yizhou, how long can he last?”
“When I came, General Yuan clearly told me that he had decided to cooperate with Liu Bei’s actions, and even planned to join Liu Bei and give Liu Bei’s territory and troops to contain Liu Bian.
“Now that Liu Bei is defeated so fast, it seems that General Yuan’s last treasure is also wrong!
After Xu You said this, he stopped, and his eyes couldn’t stop looking at Cao Cao.
Cao Cao naturally knew the taste in Xu You’s eyes, he smiled and said, “Yuan Benchu has great ambition and lack of vision! With such a big advantage in Xiapi City, he was able to be defeated by Liu Bian for three days, which is laughable in the world.
“Now he is about to sacrifice everything for Liu Bei, but Liu Bei has already been defeated, and his abacus has failed again.
“In today’s world, the only person who can tolerate him is Cao Mengde, so why should he hesitate?”
Xu You didn’t answer, his eyes were slightly closed, as if he was about to fall asleep.
Cao Cao glanced at Guo Jia, who was on the side, and saw that he was constantly coloring himself, and he immediately understood.
He changed the subject and continued: “Ziyuan, I have written to you many times, hoping to get your help, but it’s just your relationship with Ben Chu.
“Now that he is going to a dead end, do you still want to follow?”
“As a friend, you have done your best, why should you die for him?”9
When Cao Cao said this, a ray of light shot out from Xu You’s eyes, and he slowly opened his eyes.
“Meng De’s words are very good!!”
