"How is the king?"

In Xiangping City, Gongsun Du's adviser generals surrounded Gongsun Du's room and anxiously asked the doctor out.

"Dear generals, I am incompetent!"

The doctor lowered his head and bowed his hand in fear, fearing that these vicious generals would get angry.

As usual, the doctor left amid the blame and pushing of the generals.

"Big Young Master, how are you doing?"

Gongsun Kang walked out of the room and was immediately surrounded by a group of generals.

"Don't make noise, my father just went to bed!"

Gongsun Kang signaled everyone not to make noise here and wait until everything goes out.

"My father was too much of Yoss, which caused the recurrence of old diseases."

Walking outside the yard, Gongsun Kang said to the strategists and generals.

"Have the doctor ever said how to treat it?"

Yang Yi hurriedly asked, Gongsun Du's health was not good, and he had seen all the doctors in Liaodong over the years, but there was no way to do so. Now that he can't afford this disease, he may not be a good sign.

"The doctor said he could only rest!"

Gongsun Kang did not say how Gongsun Du was in a state of illness. These things could not be spread, but the vague meaning was obvious. Gongsun Du was bedridden and could no longer manage the affairs in the city.

"But now that the enemy is in front of you, the king will not take charge of the war, what should I do?"

The generals said anxiously that they did not understand Gongsun Kang's meaning, but only knew that the enemy was outside the city and that Gongsun Du could not handle political affairs, so what should we do in Xiangping City?

"The king's illness is because he is too tired. In my opinion, let the king rest and the eldest son manages the affairs in the city."

Yang Yi took the words and said to those generals who had no brains or eyes at all. If he didn't say these people, he would probably never know what Gongsun Kang meant in his life.

"Big Young Master?"

The generals then realized that some of them had hesitation on their faces. Although Gongsun Kang was the eldest son of Gongsun Du, some of them were other descendants of Gongsun Kang. Among them, the one who supported the most was Gongsun Du's second son Gongsun Gong, who was a strong competitor to the title of King Liaodong.

"Now that the enemy is in front of you, you should follow the orders of the eldest son and expel the enemy first and then discuss other matters."

Seeing that there were generals unwilling, Yang Yi emphasized that the current situation was urgent.

"Reported, the eldest son, news came from outside the city that the enemy Guo Jia and Guo Fengxiao led the prefect of Liaodong, and now they have begun to recruit troops and threaten to reorganize the situation in Liaodong and Liaodong."

Just before the generals made a statement, a soldier ran in to report the report.

"What? That, Guo Jia dared to take the prefect of Liaodong by himself?"

When Gongsun Kang heard this, he was furious. Before he could inherit the official position of Liaodong prefect, Guo Jia dared to say that he would take charge of himself.

In the future, they were full of righteous indignation. Guo Jia led the prefect of Liaodong by himself, which was to reorganize the order of Liaodong. If Guo Jia was successfully appointed as the prefect of Liaodong, they would have nothing to do.

Although he was very angry, no one dared to say that he led his troops to destroy thieves like Guo Jia. The two defeats made them realize the reality that they were not opponents of those people.

Gongsun Kang looked at the generals and no one dared to lead troops to fight, which made him unable to say anything to send people to fight.

"Preserve Xiangping City and send troops when winter comes. Those southerners will not know how terrible the winter in Liaodong is!"

Gongsun Kang thought for a while, and finally said to the generals who frowned.

"Yes, the eldest son!"

The generals then smiled and bowed to Gongsun Kang and replied that Gongsun Kang's plan made them shine. The most terrifying thing in Liaodong is winter. Those southerners will soon see it. That was a good time for them to hunt in winter.

...

In Cao Cao's military camp.

"Tell me, Lu Bu suddenly withdrew, what should we do?"

Cao Cao rubbed his head with one hand and asked everyone in the military tent. Lu Bu's sudden withdrawal gave him a headache. The morale that had just been raised was low again. He had no intention of fighting. The enemy withdrew. The soldiers now only wanted to go back to Xuchang City.

"Lord, how can you go back before the battle has come true? Lu Bu is in Yingyang. Let's kill him now, defeat Lu Bu and then go to the court."

Cao Chun saluted Cao Cao and said, "He didn't want to go back to Xuchang just like this."

But unlike Cao Chun's insistence on fighting, Zhang Xiu and others were very interested in returning to the city. Since Lu Bu had retreated to Yingyang City, they no longer wanted to continue fighting.

Yu Jin and Ju Yi did not speak, but just lowered their heads and waited for Cao Cao to speak.

"Lord, you can't go back to Xuchang at this time."

Xun Yu spoke.

"Oh, what does Xun Wenruo think?"

Cao Cao's eyes flashed with surprise, and he looked at Xun Yu and asked.

"The lord is determined to fight against Lu Bu. Now that the war has only been halfway through. If you retreat at this time, you will be defeated. It will be difficult for you to rise again. At that time, Lu Bu will face Xuchang again, which is exactly what Lu Bu wants to see."

Xun Yu bowed to Cao Cao and said that he had analyzed all Lu Bu's battles. The most common use of Lu Bu's mental tactics is this kind of mental tactic. It does not take a single soldier, relying on a series of strategies to establish a psychological advantage, defeat the opponent in terms of morale, and then use a thunder strike to completely defeat the enemy with crushing force.

"Lu Bu wants me to retreat, but I will not retreat!"

Cao Cao slapped the short table in front of him, and Xun Yu's words made him firm in his mind that he would not retreat.

"Jun Xun Lingjun, if the army does not retreat, will it be a stalemate here? That morale will deteriorate. If Lu Bu comes again, how can he fight?"

A general who advocated retreating to Xuchang City looked at Xun Yu and asked.

"Now the soldiers in the army have been reorganized and the materials have been counted, so we can train troops here! It is said that General Ju's infantry formation is effective for Lu Bu's cavalry. Why not train troops here? First, to increase morale, and second, to intimidate Lu Bu. If Lu Bu does not come, then the lord will soon have a battalion of elite soldiers!"

Xun Yu glanced at Ju Yi, who lowered his head and said without saying a word. He was very curious about Ju Yi's cavalry that could compete with Lu Bu's cavalry with infantry formations.

"Train troops here? A good plan! It depends on whether Lu Bu has the courage to come!"

After hearing Xun Yu's words, Cao Cao laughed and looked at Xun Yu with satisfaction. It would be better to have a powerful adviser, and these troubles can be solved easily.

"General Ju, do you have confidence?"

Cao Cao asked, looking at Ju Yi, who lowered his head and said nothing.

"The lord has an order, and the subordinates will definitely complete it!"

Ju Yi stood up and respected Cao Cao, and he was calm and obviously very sure of this.

"Zihe, you go back to Xuchang and escort the food and grass!"

Cao Cao looked at Cao Chun who had been asking for battle and said that because the food and grass in the battle were burned before, his army could not last for a few days.

It is necessary for Cao Chun to go back to Xuchang. He went back to get food and grass to prove that he was still fighting on the front line, breaking the previous rumors and calming down the city of Xuchang.

"Yes, lord!"
