Chapter 203: Cao Sikong
The north is already roaring at the moment, the weather is cold, and the horn bow is difficult to control.
The armor on the body makes people feel a chill and biting, and the swords are difficult to unsheath because of the cold, so Xu Du Cao Cao and Yecheng Yuan Shao wisely chose to suspend the army for the time being, and the two sides of the confrontation fell into a state of stalemate, not to mention the war.
Because of the cold weather, Cao Cao's heavy troops and Yuan Shao's heavy troops were stationed on both sides of Qingzhou and on both sides of Jizhou, Cao Cao; He ordered Liu Yan, the Taishou of Dongjun, to hold the important land of Baima, and Yu Ban stationed heavy troops in the Yanjin area to assist in preventing Yuan Shao's army from crossing the river and driving south to Xudu.
Guandu was a frontal battlefield between the two armies, and the confrontation was the most intense.
Cao Cao stationed heavy troops in Baima, if Yuan Shao fought a decisive battle, Baima must be the most vanguard major battlefield for Yuan Shao's march to Xudu, and Guandu is the place where the two armies fought a decisive battle.
Now both sides are waiting for the beginning of spring next year, the weather will get warmer, and they have the idea of annihilating each other in one fell swoop.
Xu Du, Cao Cao was looking at the information that came up, with a sneer on his face.
"Fengxiao, sure enough, this Yuan Yao really came." Cao Cao's dark face suddenly rose a touch of innocent red, although it was not visible on the black face at all, Cao Cao took a shallow sip of wine.
The intelligence said that Yuan Yao had already arrived less than a hundred miles away, and he was only taking dozens of horsemen with him.
"My lord, I'm becoming more and more interested in His Majesty the puppet emperor of this Zhongguo." After seeing clearly that Yuan Yao only had dozens of horses, Guo Jia shook his head, and after a moment of thought, he said to Cao Cao playfully.
For the princes who have not established themselves in Huainan, Guo Jia naturally knows that winter is their favorite season, and winter can give Huainan a good chance to breathe, and if he can't send troops, then Huainan can seize the better days and train soldiers and horses in Shouchun and other places, even if he is a new soldier after a winter, he can also train his courage.
Yuan Yao only came with dozens of horses, so he naturally had this in mind. However, Guo Jia is not cold, because no matter how elite the Huainan soldiers are, they are not as elite as the remaining elites of the Yellow Turban Army in Runan, and they will still reap the benefits of the fishermen.
Guo Jia's doubts lie in the fact that Yuan Yao came to protect him without bringing the famous Gan Ning, Tai Shici, and Wu Anguo, who had been cured by the wind and his wrist.
"Oh," Cao Cao laughed as he listened, "Feng Xiao, what does this mean, is there any famous among these dozens of horses." Cao Cao's smile was mixed with doubts.
Because it's just a few dozen rides, what kind of fame can it be. Isn't what he Lao Cao wants to be a hostage, his own military advisor sacrificial wine Mr. Guo Fengxiao has already figured out the enemy's thoughts, and Yuan Yao is still stupid to come, isn't that just a dumbfounded, such a person, still need to be interested Cao Cao is really puzzled.
"Yuan Yao's child is nothing more than a pig porpoise," Cao Cao said with disdain.
"Lord, do you remember when Liu Xuande came to defect." Guo Jia asked Cao Cao, he was really more and more interested in Yuan Yao, a young man in his early twenties, even if he came to Xu Du, he only brought thirty soldiers and horses, is this self-confidence, or is this really just a porpoise
"How" Cao Cao saw Guo Jia's solemn face, and he was also puzzled.
"Ratpoise, isn't that really the case" Guo Jia was also puzzled.
"Lord, when Liu Bei and Liu Xuande came to join us, they were only dozens of horses." Guo Jia said to Cao Cao, "Liu Xuande has great ambitions, and the generals under his command are both brave and unsuitable, it can be said that if Liu Bei and Liu Xuande have territory, they will definitely be able to become the overlord of one party, he Liu Xuande is confident, but this Yuan Yao is also so bold that he only came with dozens of soldiers and horses, if this is the case, this Yuan Yao's courage and courage may not be underestimated." ”
"Fengxiao, you are too worried, you see that even if this Yuan Yao brings hundreds of elites, or thousands of elite soldiers, do you still want to come to Xu Du to rebel" Cao Cao didn't take Guo Jia's words to heart at all, Xu Du is empty and still has 30,000 soldiers and horses, unless Yuan Yao pulls all the Huainan soldiers and horses, otherwise no matter how many soldiers and horses he brings, it will be a death, in Cao Cao's eyes, Yuan Yao just sees through it, and this Yuan Yao is just a child, where can he have so much ability that Guo Jia thinks.
"No, my lord, you see that this Yuan Yao seems to be a person who buys the first place" Guo Jia still didn't give up, he didn't believe that Yuan Yao was a fool, just look at the policy of attracting the people and the previous big victory with Jiangdong, as well as the general Tai Shici's strategy to go to Wu County to capture Mrs. Wu, you can know that Yuan Yao must have his own charm.
"This" Cao Cao was speechless for a moment, when Yuan Yao asked Yuan Yin to be the Taishou of Runan before, he Lao Cao himself was still uneasy, no matter how bad Huainan was, he was also a small prince, if this person who could defeat the little overlord who had been crisscrossing Jiangdong turned around and bit him Lao Cao, although Cao Cao was not afraid, he would also be upset.
Therefore, this Yuan Yao must not be a second ancestor, and he must not be a gentleman or a second fool who came to die.
"And this Yuan Yao came to Xudu, and he only brought a general named Chen Dao, and Yan Xiang, a Wenchen." Guo Jia's eyes deepened, and he continued, "At the beginning, Liu Xuande never dared to take risks in person, and he also took Guan Zhang's second generation and Sun Qian, Sun Gongyou and Jian Yong's advisers, but this Yuan Yao did not bring famous ministers, did not bring strategists, and personally took risks, do you think this is reliable." ”
Cao Cao was also immediately alert, yes, this Yuan Yao carried thirty Yu Linwei and the two of them were not famous, this Chen Dao, Cao Cao had never even heard of the name, Cao Cao just knew that Yuan Yao had Tai Shici, Gan Xingba, and it was said that there were three fierce generals of Wu Anguo, and Yan Xiang, this is the person under the old man Yuan Shu, Cao Cao has met, but it is just a full number, Cao Cao does not take it to heart at all.
And the reason why Yuan Yao didn't even bring his advisers to ask questions was that Yuan Yao wanted to live in Cao Jun for the rest of his life
Impossible, if Yuan Yao wanted to defect to himself, he would have defected to himself a long time ago, Cao Cao naturally knew this truth, but Cao Cao didn't expect that if it weren't for Huainan having soldiers and horses, he would have been used as a watchdog, and Yuan Yao would have defected to him directly after Yuan Shu's death, then he would definitely have stabbed him.
Since the first reason is impossible, the second reason is that Yuan Yao has great confidence in himself to be able to leave.
Cao Cao soon felt that he had figured it out.
"Fengxiao, I see that you are still too worried, you and I have seen through Huainan's plan, but Huainan is still not clear."
Cao Cao's solemn gaze just now suddenly relaxed, because if it weren't for Guo Jia's plan, if Jiangdong crossed Xuzhou to attack his Cao Jun later, he would definitely let Yuan Yao go back to help resist, Yuan Yao had never been compared with Liu Xuande and others in his eyes, so Cao Cao dared to let go of power.
But Guo Jia saw through it, Guo Jia wanted to imprison Yuan Yao, and he would not let Yuan Yao leave.
Although they have made a plan, Huainan must not know, so I am afraid that Yuan Yao'er is still immersed in the dream of being able to return to Huainan.
"The lord said the same." Guo Jia was relieved after thinking about it, maybe what he thought was very simple, it was really just because Yuan Yao was scheming and had too much trust in Liu Ye's strategy, so he played it once, and he didn't think about the consequences of the failure of the strategy.
"But the lord still has to pay attention to this Yuan Yao, this child's policy of attracting the people, the plan is not small." Guo Jia continued to speak.
"Well, what Feng Xiao said is very true." Cao Cao nodded, and after listening to Guo Jia's words, Lao Cao's heart was settled.
Since Yuan Yao is just a guy the same age as his son, there is no need to overestimate him.
Smart people always complicate things, and in Cao Cao's eyes, Guo Jia is such a person.
"Come, drink, drink" Cao Cao smiled with a spring breeze on his face, this Yuan Yao is still here to send the head, this is great news.
After Yuan Yao came, he could not only take the opportunity to control Runan, but also prevent Huainan Yuan Yao and his cheap uncle Yuan Shao from ventilating the north and south to deal with him Cao Cao, and Yuan Yao also sent his own life to Lao Cao's nose, under Guo Jia's strategy, he Cao Cao could even take the opportunity to control Huainan, if possible, even "coerce the Son of Heaven to order Huainan", so that Huainan's soldiers and horses fought with Jiangdong to exercise the strategy of driving the tiger and devouring the wolf, it can be said that as long as it is used well, it is more than one stone.
Because Yuan Yao represents not only him, but also tens of thousands of soldiers and horses in Huainan.
Cao Cao drank a glass of wine, and suddenly felt that his heart was on fire, and a hot and refreshing breath rose between his chest and lungs.
"Thank you, Lord." Guo Jia also drank all the glass of wine in his hand, and he also felt that his lips and teeth were fragrant, and the aftertaste was endless.
This table of wine, Cao Cao drank a hearty one, Lao Cao is really happy, Guo Jia's strategy has been all broadcast, although Tian Feng under Yuan Shao is still continuing to be his loyal minister, but Guo Jia's Tian Feng's remarks spread according to Tian Feng's character in a winter will definitely make Yuan Shao suspicious.
As for Jiangdong's shadows, they have also begun to act, if nothing goes wrong, Guo Jia's strategy will definitely be able to shoot Sun Ce and cause chaos in Jiangdong.
In the battle of Guandu, at first glance, Cao's army was obviously weak, but as long as Cao Cao could resist the attack of Yuan Shao's previous army, the internal factions in Yuan's army would definitely be the root of Yuan Shao's defeat.
There are also Lu Bu and the wolf cavalry of the state, as well as a group of elite soldiers who have surrendered in the trapped camp, and it is inevitable to fight against Yuan Shao.
The position of the overlord of the north will soon be revealed, and Cao Cao is in high spirits.
"Lord, Huainan Yuan Yao has arrived thirty miles away from the gate of Xudu." Just when Cao Cao and Guo Jia were drinking, and the banquet was still thinking about how to win, so as to pacify the north, a scout continued to send news.
"It's coming," Cao Cao's eyes suddenly shook, "This Yuan Yao'er came so quickly." ”
Cao Cao didn't know that he had woken up from sleep.
"Thirty miles" Cao Cao ordered to go down, "The herald ordered Le Jin to lead a team of men to meet him." ”
Cao Cao deliberately accentuated the word "welcome", and it was almost time to Xu Du, but he couldn't let this Yuan Yao run away again
