Chapter 237

"My lord, isn't it just Lin Ziyuan coming? Why must we retreat!"

Hearing about the retreat, Seeing Seeing Xiahou Dun was the first to stand up and object in the camp!

Although he and Lin Yang had already met during the Suanzao Alliance!

But no matter what!

Cao Cao was now a warlord controlling Yanzhou with over one hundred thousand troops!

Just because Lin Yang arrived!

They had to retreat?

Impossible!

Absolutely impossible!

You must know!

They had only taken two commanderies in Qingzhou, and there were two more they hadn't taken yet!

"That's right, my lord. Qingzhou is a place that must be contested. If we withdraw now, wouldn't it be cheaply giving it to Lin Ziyuan and Yuan Benchu!"

Cao Hong and the others on the side were also unhappy!

They had worked so hard to take Qingzhou!

And they were retreating!

Whether it would be occupied by Lin Yang had become a problem!

The generals in the camp all disagreed with retreating from Qingzhou at this time!

Xi Zhicai, Xun You, Man Chong, and others remained silent, silently watching this scene!

"You idiots, Lu Bu has already reached our doorstep, and you don't even know it!"

Throwing the bamboo slip, Cao Mengde looked like he was disappointed that his subordinates couldn't live up to expectations!

Those who spoke below were all Cao Mengde's trusted aides!

Seeing Seeing Xiahou Dun and Cao Hong were Cao Mengde's brothers!

Even Lu Bu invading Yanzhou and their rear being insecure was something they couldn't see—it was truly foolish!

Scolded by Cao Mengde, Seeing Seeing Xiahou Dun, Cao Hong, and others lowered their heads, not daring to speak!

Since Cao Mengde defeated the Qingzhou Yellow Turbans and incorporated the one hundred thousand Qingzhou soldiers!

The number of people coming to defect had also increased!

Among them, Xun Yu, Xun You, Chen Qun, Man Chong, and others had all joined his command!

This made Cao Cao's strength expand rapidly!

However!

Now looking at the situation of Seeing Seeing Xiahou Dun, Cao Hong, and others, Cao Cao had a headache!

The generals under him hadn't grown up yet!

Although his strength expanded quickly!

But the insight and leadership of Seeing Seeing Xiahou Dun, Cao Hong, and others hadn't grown rapidly!

"My lord, we are currently in a standoff with Yuan Benchu here. If we retreat rashly, I'm afraid it will provoke Yuan Benchu's attack!"

Cao Ren, on the side, expressed his opinion!

Lu Bu defected to Zhang Miao, the Administrator of Chen Liu!

This was indeed a threat to them!

Lu Bu!

Brave and unparalleled, no one could defeat him!

He had elite Bingzhou cavalry under his command!

Once he wanted to plot for Yanzhou, it would be a huge threat!

But!

Now they were in Shouguang, in a standoff with Yuan Benchu!

Retreating was not an easy thing either!

"Zixiao is right!" Cao Cao looked at Cao Ren with gratification and praised him, "So, we need to wait!"
