Chapter 742: The soldiers are divided into three ways

It is said that the three most important heirs of the Cao family staged a good show of fighting for power in front of the spirits of Cao Ang and Cao Song. On the surface, there is still some brotherly love, but in fact, the future of falling apart, life and death, and seven steps into poetry began today.

Speaking of the battle situation with Yuan Shu, the three intriguing children of the Cao family have surprisingly unanimous views. In fact, including think tanks like Sima Yi and Yang Dezu, no one will be optimistic about Yuan Shu, which is like a dry bone in the tomb, but although Yuan Shu is weak, the surrounding forces are too strong, will they sit back and watch Cao Cao destroy Yuan Shu and be indifferent?

Therefore, the surrounding battle situation is the key to victory or defeat, as the so-called pulling a trigger and moving the whole body, no matter which direction of the southeast, northwest, and northwest is under pressure, it will shake Cao Cao's determination to eliminate Yuan Shu. Even if the hatred of killing his father is not shared, he can't afford to lose his base. As a military strategist, Cao Cao is surrounded by advisers like rain, and he will never be completely carried away by any hatred.

Based on this judgment, Sima Yi had already pointed out on the road that Yuan Shu had a grudge against Sun Ce and had no friendship with the Qinglong Army, and the only way to request support was to seek the north. And Zhangyang, who crosses the river in the north, has been absorbed by the Qinglong Army, and the Hexi Corridor is basically a mess, only Yuan Shao of Jizhou is the same brother, and may be able to become the direction of Yuan Shu's escape.

Sun Ce had just won the round again, and his vitality had not recovered, and he was not afraid to attack the Cao army in Xuzhou with the remnants of his army. But Guan Yu in the north is not necessarily, Zhou Budo himself is a wise man, if Yuan Shu can say that Yuan Shao can move Yuan Shao, and Zhou Budo will cross the Yellow River to attack Yanzhou, plus Juancheng Guan Yu all the way, I am afraid it will shake the foundation of Taishan County.

Therefore, Cao Pi's Lingqian gambling contract was based on the defense of the northern border. Although Cao Pi did not have a military map in front of him, he still said: "The strategic points on the first line of the Yellow River are Mengjin, Yanjin, Guandu, Baimajin, and Luokoudu. ”

Cao Zhi nodded slightly and said, "Chen Liu, Zhang Liao, and Chen Gong have been wavering in their attitudes since Lu Bu disappeared, and I don't know if I can persuade him to return to obedience." ”

Cao Pi took a deep look at Cao Zhi and ordered everyone to go to the screen, and everyone dispersed, even Sima Yi and Yang Xiu stood outside the mourning hall. Only three brothers remained in the mourning hall. Cao Pi smiled slightly: "Sure enough, it is the same as what the fourth brother hero saw, and my gambling contract started because of this." ”

"My father personally fought with Yuan Shu, and Yuan Shu was difficult to resist and would inevitably flee north. Baimajin is the closest to Luoyang, and it can be said that Yuan Shu must pass through. If you can ambush a group of people here, then Yuan Shu can be captured in one net. ”

Cao Zhang's blood became hot when he heard this, and he hurriedly asked, "Second brother, if you can capture Yuan Shu alive with your own hands, you can solve the hatred in my heart." Let's talk about the bet? ”

Cao Pi raised his eyebrows and said: "The three of my brothers will catch a lot, and the three troops will take the initiative to attack and burn the soldiers outside Yanzhou." This will not only defuse the potential danger of enemy attack, but also take the opportunity to consolidate the defense along the Yellow River. ”

Cao Zhi asked, "Which three roads?" ”

Cao Pi said: "You and I are three brothers, each with their own troops, all the way to Chenliu, surrender Zhang Liao and Chen Gong, open the Guandu ferry to cross the river, go straight to Liyangjin, and block the escape of Yuan Shu Baimajin; The other way went straight to Juancheng, fought with Guan Yu, pinned down Guan Yu, so that he could not send troops to Taishan County, if he could win the battle, then open the ferries around Yanjin, cross the river to harass Puyang and Yecheng, so that he could not send troops to meet Yuan Shu; The third route starts from Taishan County, crosses the Luokou Jindu River, takes the plain directly, if it can succeed, then along the west of the Yellow River to the north bank of the important town Puyang, if it can succeed, the middle and lower reaches of the Yellow River will be the whole line for my Cao family control. ”

Cao Zhang's blood boiled when he heard it, and when he heard this, he stood up and said passionately and generously: "I heard that Guan Yu Qinglong slashed both sides of the Yellow River, and I would have thought that I would meet him. Juancheng this way, brothers, don't rob me! ”

Cao Pi and Cao Zhang glanced at each other, and both nodded and said, "Very good!" ”

Seeing that both of them agreed with his opinion, Cao Zhang stood up and rubbed his hands, as if the Fang Tian painting halberd in his palm had cut Guan Yu's head. His 30,000 soldiers are about to arrive in Qianjun in a few days, and if they go north immediately, I am afraid that it will not take three or five days for the troops to be directed at Juancheng, which naturally takes a big advantage in terms of travel time.

Cao Zhi was happy when he saw Cao Zhang, looked back at Cao Pi and said, "Second brother, it depends on the will of heaven whether you and I can succeed!" ”

After that, he picked up a bald pen in front of the spirit and wrote a "white horse", which represented playing Chen Liu; wrote another "Luokou", which represented the Pingyuan and Puyang, so he handed over the two paper lots to Cao Zhang, and asked him to put one in one hand and put it behind him.

Cao Zhang exchanged paper lots several times behind his back, and even he himself no longer knew what was written on the paper lot in his hand, Cao Pi picked his left hand and opened it to see, but it was a "white horse".

Cao Pi laughed and said: "It seems that the will of heaven is like this, with the majesty of my father, are you still afraid that Zhang Liao will not surrender?" "In fact, the biggest temptation of this passer-by is naturally to wait for Yuan Shu, who can wait for the rabbit in Liyangjin and wait for the defeat and escape, to throw himself into the net, so it is naturally the most likely way to build peerless military feats.

Cao Zhi drew all the way to the plains, relatively far away from Yuan Shu, and said with a light face: "Since it is a bet, how can it be considered a win?" If you win, what do you say? ”

Cao Pi's eyebrows fluttered and said: "We will each send troops, and whoever lays the set goal first will be the winner." The winner takes all, and all the military exploits this time are counted on his head. ”

Cao Zhi was shocked when he heard this: "If I defeat Puyang first, even if you catch Yuan Shu, will it be considered my credit?" Cao Pi groaned: "To be clear, my target is Chen Liu and Liyangjin, the third brother's goal is Juancheng and Puyang, and the fourth brother's goal is Pingyuan and Puyang, and the one who wins the target city first is the winner." ”

Cao Zhang frowned slightly and said, "If I break through the Yellow River with my fourth brother at the same time and besiege Puyang at the same time, whose credit is it?" Cao Pi said with a smile: "If the two roads attack together, forgive the small city of Puyang, and it can't be resisted." In this way, whoever captures the Puyang City Lord's Mansion first will win. Cao Zhi and Cao Zhang both nodded in goodness.

Cao Zhi once again performed calligraphy, and the dragon flew and the phoenix danced to write a gambling contract. The three brothers knelt before the spirit and pressed their handprints on the pact, and the pact was established. Cao Zhi said again: "The matter is serious, and we need to send someone to report to my father for approval immediately!" ”

Cao Pi shook his head when he heard this, and said proudly: "Fourth brother! The so-called soldiers are fast, and the so-called generals are not subject to the orders of the kings outside, my father is busy dealing with the front line, and the affairs in the rear are naturally in charge of our three brothers. This matter is settled, I only need to repair a letter and inform Jia Liangdao, who is sitting in the rear. ”

It turned out that Cao Jun was out this time, and it was the Confucian general Jia Kui Jia Liangdao who stayed in the imperial court to suppress the formation. Since he was going to send troops, he naturally had to say hello to him, which could be regarded as informing the imperial court. The imperial court issued a court report, even if it agreed to send troops, it would naturally be copied to Cao Cao on the front line. And Cao Pi's wishful thinking, of course, is to become the real master of the rear, because the Jia family is one of the families who firmly support Cao Pi.
