Chapter 26: Calculation within Calculation (2)
When there were still two days away from Jizhou, it was as Xu Tian expected. Yuan Tan sent someone to send 20,000 stones of grain and grass, and wrote a letter to Xu Chu. The letter sang praises to virtue, which made Xu Chu despise Yuan Tan even more...
Xu Tian sat in the tent and looked at the silk silk in front of him. He wrote down his plan in detail, and after thinking it over again. Opening:
"Someone!! Please come to General Takan! ”
Soon, Gao Ran slowly walked into the tent and hugged his fist at Xu Tian.
"General Gao, it's a hard trip. Please give this letter to the Prime Minister yourself. The sooner the better! ”
Gao Ran took the letter and clenched his fists again and withdrew from the tent. Just as he was about to leave, Xu Tian followed.
"General Gao, this letter must not fall into the hands of the enemy. Please be careful!! ”
"The military advisor can rest assured, even if the last general is dead. Will also disappear with this letter!! ”
Gao Ran left, Xu Tian looked up at the gradually darkening sky, his eyes flashing......
Qingzhou, in the Thorn History Mansion. Guo Tu smiled at Yuan Tan and said:
"My lord, 20,000 stones of grain and grass have been delivered. Next, it's up to them to perform! ”
Yuan Tan didn't speak, and a cold light flashed in his smiling eyes...
The chessboard on the table is already covered with most of the chess pieces, black and white. It seems that the general is rushing into battle, and there seems to be a faint murderous aura...
Since receiving the letter from Gao Ran, Cao Cao has been playing chess here alone for almost an hour. His eyes sparkled, and he didn't know what he was thinking. As a sunspot fell, Cao Cao's eyes froze. Shut up and stood up...
"Someone!! Call Xun Yu and Guo Jia to come! ”
Cao Cao reclined on the couch beside him, his right hand supporting his head. Soon, footsteps were heard. Xun Yu and Guo Jia walked into the house one after another.
"Meet the Prime Minister!!"
"Sit down."
Cao Cao didn't open his eyes, and the two sat aside. Guo Jia's eyes glanced at the chessboard next to him, but he didn't speak.
"Wen Ruo (Xun Yu, the word Wen Ruo), what do you think of the current situation on the front line in Jizhou?!"
"Prime Minister, just now I was talking to Fengxiao (Guo Jia, the word Fengxiao) about this. This time General Xu was a little abnormal, he was not as we expected. led the troops to Jizhou, which made me a little impressed. ”
As he spoke, he and Guo Jia looked at each other and smiled. Cao Cao raised his left hand and pointed to the silk silk next to the chessboard.
"The answer is there, you see."
Xun Yu was stunned, looked at Guo Jia, and picked up the silk silk with some doubts. However, the more he looked down, the more serious his face became. Until he finished reading it, his hands even trembled slightly.
He swallowed his saliva and handed the silk in his hand to Guo Jia, who looked at him suspiciously. Cao Cao asked uncertainly:
"This is, this is Xu Tian's plan?!"
Cao Cao opened his eyes violently, turned over and sat up. He stared at Xun Yu.
"Yes, that's him. I have to say that even I admire his guts. He first befriended Yuan Tan and showed friendship with them. Then, he humiliated and angered Yuan Shang. Then, he planned to play a big drama with Yuan Tan and pretend to fight with them. lured Yuan Shang to attack behind him, and in the end, the two families destroyed Yuan Shang together. Capture Jizhou!! ”
Xun Yu suppressed the shock in his heart and said:
"This is just a plan he is going to give Guo Tu to them, and his real plan is for us to take advantage of Yuan Shang's troops and Jizhou is empty. Surprise attack on Jizhou, take it in one fell swoop!! ”
Cao Cao didn't speak, but glanced at Guo Jia, who was holding the silk silk and didn't say a word.
"Bonghyo, what do you say?!"
Wen Ruo is right, but this is only one of them, this Xu Tian is really not simple. He wanted us to take Jizhou and Qingzhou at the same time, and he said in the letter that he would let the Son of Heaven issue an edict to return Yuan Shao's title to Yuan Tan, I am afraid that it was to stabilize them, and once the edict came, Yuan Tan would personally go to receive the edict. Then Qingzhou..."
Guo Jia sighed, this Xu Tian's idea was really incredible. Seeing that Cao Cao and Xun Yu were both looking at him, he continued:
"The key to this plan is the timing of our troops, and if it is too early, it will be a surprise. If it's too late, it's just as much a failure. Xu Tian was fishing, he used the 50,000 army as bait, led the two big fish, Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang, and handed over the fishing rod to the prime minister. In the end, the fish is caught, or the fish runs away with the bait. It's up to the prime minister to close the pole!! ”
Cao Cao smiled and stood up.
"That's why I called you here to hear your opinions!"
"This matter is too serious, I don't dare to talk nonsense, I can only say, I can only say that the risk is too big, once it is lost. This ......"
Xun Yu said in a low voice.
Seeing Cao Cao's gaze, Guo Jia smiled slightly.
"It's the same as the Prime Minister!!"
Cao Cao laughed and flicked his sleeves. Walked out. Xun Yu and the two glanced at each other and were about to leave. However, the two of them saw the chessboard almost at the same time, and saw that the dangerous sunspot on the chessboard won after Cao Cao's last son...
After receiving the grain and grass from Guo Tu, the army camped in place and did not advance any more. Xu Tian and the three of them were waiting, waiting for Cao Cao's reply...
On this day, Gao Ran returned to the camp. brought back Cao Cao's reply letter and an edict from the Son of Heaven. The letter agreed to Xu Tian's plan, but the last line of words silenced the three of them.
"Cheng, worship will be the marquis. Defeated, come and see you. ”
Zhang He was the first to break the silence.
Now, the prime minister has agreed. So what do we do with our first step?! ”
"First of all, we have to have a place to stay, otherwise there is no basis. We will be very dangerous, I have already seen the map, Pingyuan County in the southeast of Jizhou. It is not only the gateway to the east of Jizhou, but also faces Qingzhou, which is the most suitable. ”
Xu Tian said slowly. Zhang He's eyes flashed
"I know the county guard of Pingyuan County, Han Li. The second son of the Han family of the Dashi clan in Jizhou, this person is a nerd. It has always respected the way of Confucianism, which is easy to deal with. But he has 60,000 men in his hands, and the plains are well fed, if he can't hold out. There's nothing we can do! ”
Xu Tian looked at Xu Chu, who had not spoken on the side, and then looked at Zhang He. Some hesitation said:
"Why don't we change to a good fight?!"
Xu Chu immediately stood up.
"Don't change, just a scholar. Look how I clean him up!! ”
