On the bank of Feishui River.

After burying the soldiers of Wancheng who died in the battle of Wancheng, Cao Cao took Xun You, Cheng Yu and others back to Cao Jun's tent.

Today, Wancheng is in ruins.

Naturally, it is impossible for Cao Cao's 150,000 troops to continue to station troops here.

At present, Cao's army can either continue to advance westward and join forces with another 350,000 troops led by Xiahou Dun.

Or, withdraw the troops from Wancheng, return to Xuchang first, and then advance westward.

Inside the tent, Xun You, Cheng Yu, and all the generals from Cao's camp were all looking at Cao Cao.

At this moment, Cao Cao naturally understood what these people meant.

Now Xiahou Dun's other army has captured part of the Sili area including Luoyang, but Chang'an has been defeated because of Li Jue, Guo Si and others.

It has been difficult to advance for a long time.

For Cao Cao, it now coincides with the defeat of Wancheng.

At this time, returning to Xuchang may be the best choice.

Once the news of this failure is passed back to Xuchang, Xuchang may become unstable.

However, Cao Cao felt hesitant in his heart.

Return to Xuchang?

What to do?

There is still no news about Dian Wei and Cao Ang.

How will he face Xi Yu and his wife after he returns?

The eldest son Cao Ang is the most important person in his Cao family.

His favorite son is Cao Ang!

This time I brought the other party out, partly to help Cao Ang establish prestige in the army, and also because I wanted to personally lead the other party to grow.

And now, my son is gone!

I don’t know whether I will live or die!

Under such circumstances, Cao Cao pretended to be fine on the surface, but his heart was already bleeding.

"Gongda, Zhongde!"

"I intend to continue marching westward and merge with Xiahoudun as soon as possible!"

For Cao Cao, he doesn't know how to return to Xuchang now, and he doesn't know how to face those people.

For now, the only choice is to continue heading west.

If we can capture the entire Sanqin land in this battle, then...

Then at least it is worthy of Cao Ang and Dian Wei...

The point is.

The current defeat of Wancheng is actually not a big blow to Cao Jun.

As Cao Cao spoke, everyone in the tent nodded subconsciously.

Wancheng's impact on the entire Cao army was only minimal.

Of course you can continue heading west.

It’s the day!

After Cao Cao discussed with Xun You and others, he led the army out of camp that afternoon and marched straight to Chang'an.

At the same time.

That night in Wancheng, after Zhang Xiu fainted, he woke up when the sky was bright.

When Zhang Xiu opened his eyes, he realized that he had been led out of Wancheng by Hu Che'er and others.

Now, the soldiers and horses under his command are not far from Jingzhou.

"It's a pity that we couldn't kill the thief Cao!" Zhang Xiu opened his mouth and cursed.

At this time, he led the soldiers to Jingzhou for a short time.

Halfway through, the army was blocked by the Jingzhou Army sent by Liu Biao.

When Zhang Xiu saw that the people coming were Liu Biao's Jingzhou Army, he immediately stepped forward and dismounted to inform Wancheng of the details.

On that day, what happened in Wancheng had already appeared before Liu Biao's case.

After originally receiving the information that Zhang Xiu had joined Cao Cao, Liu Biao regretted it.

The purpose of sending a large army this time was to prevent Cao's army from suddenly turning south.

Now, after Zhang Xiu and Cao Cao fought in Wancheng, and even almost killed Cao Cao, Liu Biao was still a little excited.

Immediately, Liu Biao sent Wen Ping to lead the Jingzhou army north to prevent Cao Cao from turning south.

Unexpectedly, I met Zhang Xiu and others who were fleeing with their troops on the way.

If Zhang Xiu hadn't reacted quickly, the two armies would have almost fought.

"Please also inform Mr. Liu that I am here to support Mr. Liu!"

Now that Wancheng is lost, Zhang Xiu has no way out.

The only choice now was to vote for Liu Biao again, but Zhang Xiu had given up hope as to whether he could still stay in one place.

……

And as the matter in Wancheng ended, in just three or two days, the results of the entire Wancheng were spread throughout the world.

The princes in the world only knew that Zhang Xiu surrendered and rebelled again, but they did not know the underlying reason.

As for the news about the Zou family, only a few people know about it.

Zhang Xiu didn't want to mention it more. He only said that Cao Cao had insulted him and said nothing more.

There have been a lot of speculations about what happened in Wancheng.

Some people say that Zhang Xiu is dissatisfied with the treatment given by Cao Cao.

Some people say that Cao Cao did bully Zhang Xiu.

There were different opinions, but the princes just regarded it as a joke.

However, after Cao Cao's defeat in Wancheng, the direction of the world began to gradually change.

At that time, Cao Cao had already joined forces with Xiahou Dun.

However, after the army arrived in Chang'an, it was still a stalemate.

Cao Cao's troops were stationed outside the Weishui River and Tongguan respectively. They were blocked by natural passes. Although he had an army of 500,000, it was difficult to advance in a short time.

If you want to conquer the pass and cross the Wei River, you have to consume a lot of manpower.

Because of Wancheng's defeat, Cao Cao became a little cautious this time and did not rush to advance at the first time.

And at this moment, news came out later.

Yan, Zhang Xiu and the Jingzhou Army attacked Nanyang and other places from the rear. In a short period of time, Zhang Xiu had occupied Nanyang.

At the same time, the Jingzhou Army seemed to be about to make a move.

Except for Jingzhou Liu Biao.

Lu Bu and Hanoi Zhangyang, who were in Bingzhou, seemed to have begun to march into the Sili area from the north to the south at this time.

Within Xuchang, another military report came, saying that Yuan Shu's army had begun to attack Yuzhou.

All of a sudden!

All the princes in the world seemed to be eyeing him, Cao Cao.

Liu Biao and Zhang Xiu from Jingzhou and Zhang Yang and Lu Bu from Hanoi approached Cao Cao's army from the north and south respectively.

Now there are Li Jue, Guo Si and others from the west who have entrusted him in front of Tongguan.

The current situation seems to be surrounded by three sides.

The same interests made these people start to move towards him in unison!

Cao Cao was shocked!

He did not expect that just after the news of Wancheng's defeat spread throughout the world, these princes were like wolves that had smelled it.

Follow the wind and here we come!

……

When the princes of the world looked at the wind and moved, Xiyu had been back for a long time in Xuchang.

Xi Yu originally thought that after he returned to Xuchang, Lao Cao would be back in a few games.
To be continued...
