He Qi's eyes lit up and he suddenly said, "Lord, what if Cao Cao could annihilate our army?"

"Annihilation of our army? Are you talking about annihilation of me and Huang Xu?"

"Yes, if Cao Cao can stick our army to Ruyang, and then siege our army, and even join the army of Qiao County, is it possible to encircle and annihilate our army!"

"Yes, as long as we are stupid, don't run away!"

"What about it? Our army mobilized General Lu Bu and Yuan Shao. Can we form a battle in Ruyang and wipe out Cao Cao?"

"All annihilation of Cao Cao? Is this... necessary!"

"But Cao Cao thinks that the lord has this necessary!"

Fang Zhiwen blinked, feeling a little amused. Will Cao Cao make mistakes again and again. Going so far along the wrong path? First of all, Cao Cao must ignore the situation where the three families are likely to attack Cao Cao together; secondly, why did Cao Cao decide that he needed to wipe out the main force of the Cao army? He just wanted to drive Cao's army to Jingzhou; and Cao Cao also needed to make sure that he would not run away and would organize the Battle of Ruyang!...

What a paranoid idea this has to be formed! Fang Zhiwen couldn't believe that Cao Cao's original intention was like this!

"This... is so strange!"

"Yes, I think it's too strange, but this idea is the most likely. It would be great if there is a way to verify it!"

"This is simple. Let's attack Ruyang quickly, and then you will know by looking at Cao's reaction!"

"This...is right!"

"Send an order to prepare for a strong attack, order Huang Xu and Tai Shi Zhaorong to assemble the guards and join forces with my guards to join the troops first. Jialan, you are also ready, and rush to the city under the cover of the cavalry to support me!"

"Yes, Master!"

Three guards that were close to the level of a powerful soldier attacked Ruyang City. Although Li Jin was very commander and wisdom, it was far from enough to see strong generals like Fang Zhiwen and Taishi Zhaorong. One city wall was soon captured by Fang Zhiwen, and Li Jin still wanted street fighting, but street fighting was a joke in front of troops like Fang Zhiwen, which had a large number of elite shooters and grassroots generals.

In the end, 20,000 defenders in the city were completely wiped out, and 10,000 were killed in battle and surrendered to 10,000. None of the people in the city escaped, and Li Jin also died in the chaos.

Fang Zhiwen captured Ruyang, which certainly alleviated the logistical embarrassment, but there was no need or condition to stick to the lonely city of Ruyang.

However, when Fang Zhiwen took Ruyang, Cao Cao's reinforcements strangely slowed down. On the contrary, news came from Qiao County that Cao Cao's envoy wanted to meet Fang Zhiwen.

Fang Zhiwen was quite surprised because it was not Fang Zhiwen's old friend Zhong Yao, but Cheng Yu, one of Cao Cao's right-hand men.

"Zhongde?! A rare guest! Cao Cao is really relieved, so he is not afraid that I will detain Zhongde. Could it be that Cao Cao has too many advisers?"

"Haha, Lord Fang was joking!"

The two of them exchanged a few words and then turned to the topic.

"Mr. Fang, I'm here to be ordered by the lord to ask Master Fang for a word."

"Oh? What do Cao Cao want to know?"

"My lord must first know, what does Lord Fang want? Does Lord Fang want the entire Central Plains?"

"If I want it, would Cao Cao give it to me openly?"

"Uh... Lord Fang was joking."

"Since that's the case, what did Cao Cao send Zhongde to do? Anyway, he knows it and doesn't know it anyway!" Fang Zhiwen smiled a little sneeringly, and Cheng Yu said to himself that a headache was in his heart.

"My Lord means that for the other party, getting Jizhou is the most urgent need. If Lord Fang can cooperate with our Lord, he can also get Jizhou! Now that Yuan Shao's heavy troops are all in Henan, as long as he defeats them in one fell swoop, and he is attacking Jizhou in large numbers, big things can be accomplished. It is much easier for Lord Fang to fight our Lord to death in the Central Plains!"

Fang Zhiwen looked at Cheng Yu with a smile: "Zhongde thinks that Fang Zhiwen is a fickle villain? The ancients said that he would like to others, and Cao Cao really followed the same thing! Haha..."

"Sir, be careful of your words. Our Lord upholds our orders and supports the country. Please do not slander them at will!"

"Haha, slander? It's just a fact that everyone knows about the world. Okay, it's meaningless to say this. Zhongde went back and told Cao Cao that I wanted to do it in Jizhou, but it's not time for Cao Cao to help with the planning. He has the skills, so he should think about whether he can pass this level!"

"Sir, if this is the case, you may suffer all three losses!"

"Everything is hurt! Haha... Cao Cao is too proud of himself. Okay, let's not discuss this matter. Since Zhongde has worked hard to come, I can't let Zhongde run away! Gongmiao, bring the drawings!"

"promise!"

He Qi stood up, walked forward a few steps, and handed a scroll of drawings to Cheng Yu. Cheng Yu frowned and stretched out his hands to take it politely.

"Mr. Fang, what does this mean?"

"Aren't you here with your duty? This is my reply to Cao Cao. You can tell if you open it and take a look."

Cheng Yu looked at Fang Zhiwen in confusion, slowly unbuttoned the rope on the scroll, and slowly unfolded the map. This was just a very ordinary map of the Central Plains, but the distribution of forces represented by different colors on the map was inconsistent with the facts. On this map, Cao Cao's power was not in the Central Plains, leaving only the little place in Jingzhou, and the entire Central Plains was marked with Yuan Shao's flag. This is Fang Zhiwen's answer to Cao Cao. What's even more strange is, did Fang Zhiwen know his purpose and prepared this map in advance?

As if seeing through Cheng Yu's doubts, Fang Zhiwen smiled and said, "I originally planned to send it to Cao Cao. Since Zhongde has arrived, please let Zhongde take it back and tell Cao Cao by the way, everyone is good, don't look too high at your ability. If there weren't Japanese people supporting Cao Cao behind their backs, how could Cao Cao have the situation today? Similarly, it is precisely because Cao Cao and the Japanese are unclear, so they have to pay off their debts today!"

"Sir, you can't say this..."

"Okay, everyone understands it. Zhongde should not think that I am a three-year-old child. There is no need to say this anymore. Zhongde just spreads the message. If Cao Cao is not convinced, I will wait for him in Ruyang."

"I understand this...
