Cao Cao hid behind the battlements, looking at the camp of Yuan Shu's army that was immovable, his brows furrowed slightly.

He knew too well who Yuan Shu was. He also roughly knew who Yuan Shu's subordinates were. He didn't expect the night attack to be successful, but he didn't expect the other party to be so tightly guarded and react so timely, and he was discovered before he could get close to the camp.

Yuan Shu has grown a lot during this time. If this continues, he may really be able to become Yuan Shao's fierce rival. In particular, this thing is bold and reckless, and the strength to dare to do anything is something that Yuan Shao does not have, cracking down on Haoqiang, collecting his land and property, and distributing the land to the surrendering troops, and getting tens of thousands of soldiers at once, Yuan Shao can't play such a big deal.

The wind rises at the end of Qingping, which seems to be a helpless move, but it may be a harbinger of great changes. Since the impulsion of quality, the people have changed everywhere, and finally evolved into the Yellow Turban Rebellion that swept the world, why did Dahan come to this point, he has thought about this question countless times. Relatives, eunuchs, and Haoqiang, these were the crux of what he thought, and he made a lot of efforts for this, but in the end they all failed.

But he never expected that Yuan Shu would embark on this road, and his methods were so violent, not only uprooting the big and small heroes near Wancheng, but also directly distributing their land to their subordinates.

Is this the right way to go? He's done so much before, and he's just missing this last step?

"General, general?"

Cao Cao was taken aback, only then did he realize that he was distracted, and hurriedly smiled: "Zhicai, what's wrong?" ”

Xi Zhicai's eyes were suspicious. "General, the first temptation is over."

"Oh, oh." Cao Cao rubbed his eyes and looked at the city. The fires in Yuan's camp were still lit, but the fires outside the camp were gradually stopping, and the soldiers who tried to attack the camp should have already rushed to the next location, but the second attack would not be very fast, because they would have to make a big detour to avoid Yuan's scouts, and it might not be until midnight. Then he remembered something else. "That...... The scouts were sent out? ”

"Sent out, a total of five groups, fifty people, marching from different directions, the route is secret, and they don't know each other."

"Good, good. Zhicai, with your help, I am much more relaxed. Cao Cao patted his forehead and was overjoyed. The sound is striking the west, the virtual is real, this trick is good. Zhicai, let me ask you something. ”

Xi Zhicai looked at Cao Cao. But Cao Cao didn't say anything, but walked forward with his hands behind his back, lowered his head, and walked forward for a distance before he opened his mouth carefully.

"Do you think it's feasible for Yuan Highway to divide the land to the tribes and boost morale?"

Xi Zhicai blurted out without thinking. "Drink to quench your thirst." After a while, he said: "Shen Zhen uses fierce medicine, although the biggest possibility is a life, but there is also a possibility of resurrection." ”

Cao Cao nodded in agreement, and then said, "I don't think it's Yuan Highway's decision, it's Sun Bofu's suggestion. ”

"Why do you say that?"

"He did it in Xiangyang, and the three thousand yellow scarves became his subordinates, and there are many more on the way. Why was Sun Jian able to hand over all the Jingzhou soldiers to Yuan Shu? Because there are tens of thousands of yellow turbans waiting for him in Runan. Cao Cao walked slowly along the city wall, and his voice was blown a little fluctuating by the night wind. It has been several years since the Yellow Turban Rebellion, but it will never end, and sooner or later this fire will burn up, but this fire of the Great Han ......"

Cao Cao suddenly stopped, opened his mouth, but did not say any more, and let out a long sigh inexplicably. He was depressed, stopped, supported the battlements with both hands, and slapped it twice.

Xi Zhicai tilted his head to look at Cao Cao, and suddenly smiled. "General, you want to emulate this strategy, but you're afraid of setting yourself on fire, right?"

Cao Cao didn't speak, but his eyes became hot. Xi Zhicai turned around and looked at the camp outside the city.

"This policy can't be said to be bad, but Nanyang is by no means the best place."

Cao Cao blinked, but didn't speak, just listened quietly.

Xi Zhicai paused, and then continued: "Nanyang is the emperor's hometown, eleven of the twenty-eight generals of Yuntai are from Nanyang, and the Yin family and the Deng family have produced five queens, and there are countless two thousand stones. They got the manor, they got tens of thousands of parts, and it will be the people of the world who will be offended. Even those who were not loyal to their former masters would accuse them of this, and who would want their hard-earned wealth to be taken away by them? ”

Cao Cao bowed slightly, but remained silent.

Xi Zhicai lowered his head. "I hate the Maison, but I have to admit that I can't do anything without the support of the Maison. Zhang Jiao can bewitch millions of foolish people, and the eight states will rise together, what can he do? In less than a year, he was dragged out of the coffin by Huangfu Song and beheaded. Generals, without a family, they are just a swarm of ants and can't do anything. Therefore, even if the general can't hold Wancheng, it will be difficult for Yuan Highway to gain a foothold in Nanyang. ”

Cao Cao blinked and suddenly smiled. "Zhicai, aren't all the scouts you sent out to inquire about the situation in Wuguan, right?"

Xi Zhicai turned to look directly at Cao Cao, and said word by word: "Although the general has the heart of benevolence, I can't help but manage a retreat for the general." The world is in turmoil, and the heroes are rising together, is the general willing to miss this big hunt? ”

"Me......" Cao Cao smiled without saying a word, was silent for a moment, and turned to pat Zhicai's arm. Just according to Zhicai. ”

——

As Pang Tong expected, overnight, Cao's army launched three raids. Although the battalions were well guarded, and Cao Cao did not take any advantage, he was also harassed. After not sleeping all night, many people's eyes were dark, and Yuan Shu was even more violent, shouting that he wanted to go out of the camp to give Cao Cao a little color. Yan Xiang couldn't persuade him, and when he was in a hurry, Sun Ce came.

"Bo Fu, you came just in time, quickly persuade the general."

Sun Ce smiled and arched his hand and looked at Yan Xiang. "Mr. didn't sleep all night?"

Yan Xiang yawned and said with a wry smile: "Don't dare to sleep." Last time in Shinye, if I hadn't fallen asleep in the middle of the night, how could I be in this situation today. This Cao Mengde is really hateful, always sneaking up at night. ”

Sun Ce couldn't help but want to laugh. Cao Cao really likes night raids, last time he attacked Yuan Shu in Xinye, and later attacked him outside the He family's manor, and now he has sent people to attack the camp.

"Sir, isn't he just relying on the city wall, let's break his wall to see what he can rely on."

Yan Xiang was startled and grabbed Sun Ce's arm. "Bo Fu, you can't be impatient, it's not bad for a few days."

"Don't worry, the baggage camp is almost ready, it's time for Cao Cao to taste our strength."

"him!" Yuan Shu jumped up all of a sudden, dancing with his hands. "Shorty, Naigong has put up with you for a long time."
