At this time.

On the Guandu front.

Cao Cao already knew that Yuan Xi had left the camp.

This means that those behemoths are no longer under control.

Cao Cao wanted to concentrate 100,000 troops up and down to fight a big battle and inflict heavy losses on the Hebei army. However, Jia Xu and Sima Yi disagreed, and argued with reason in an attempt to stop Cao Cao.

"We have a total of 200,000 people in Guandu, Chenliu, and Huainan, and you said that these 200,000 people were used to severely damage the Hebei army regardless of life and death. I think the time has come now, Yuan Xi is not in the Guandu camp, and we don't have to face those giant beasts. What a great opportunity, why don't you agree? In the tent, Cao Cao asked Jia Xu and Sima Yi.

"Prime Minister, this matter needs to be cautious. Although Yuan Xi left, he left behind the military division, the generals Zhang Jaw, and Gao Lan, all of whom had 400,000 troops in their hands, and if they really fought, we would not be able to take advantage of it. Jia Xu said.

"What's more... Our previous preparations were in vain. Once defeated, Guandu's position will be unguarded, and Yuan Xi can take advantage of the weakness to enter. When the time comes, he will threaten Yanzhou. Sima Yi said.

"Such a good opportunity, just let it go.... Cao Cao was very unwilling.

"No way!"

He didn't listen to Jia Xu and Sima Yi this time, and said: "Half of our position in Guandu has been captured, and when Yuan Xi returns, it will definitely be breached." At that time, we will have no danger to rely on, and we will only be able to engage in war with them. And at that time, Yuan Xi had giant beasts, and it was difficult for our army to reach. It's better to take advantage of the fact that Yuan Xi has not come back now, and fight a decisive battle with the judge, Zhang Jaw, and Gao Ran. There may be a silver lining. ”

"Wenhe."

"Yes."

Cao Cao said: "I have already decided on this matter. Go and give the order now, and attack the enemy camp tomorrow at noon! ”

"Ugh...."

"Yes."

Jia Xu and Sima Yi could only follow the order.

Being a courtier, that's it.

You can offer advice, and the strategy will be adopted, and the strategy will be ignored.

Once the Lord has decided, it cannot be changed.

.........

Jia Xu passed down the order.

Early the next morning, all the Cao troops buried their pots and prepared to go on the expedition.

After getting the news, he hurriedly summoned the generals in the army to discuss countermeasures.

"Mr. Jeongnam, I wonder where you got the news?" Gao Ran asked. He has also been sending people to investigate, but there is no news about Cao's movements.

"I planted the fine work in the Cao camp, and it was sent back by the fine work, and the news is absolutely reliable." Judge the back.

"That's a good thing." Zhang Jaw smiled: "We have an army of 400,000, why fear him?" If he wants to come, let him come. I'm sure I'll be able to knock him down in less than two hours. ”

"Hahaha..."

The generals present laughed loudly, as if they had seen the dawn of victory.

"Hey! Hey! So what are you doing? Before the big war began, he despised his opponent like this. Don't forget, Cao Cao also had an army of 100,000. A few years ago, with 70,000 troops, he defeated the 700,000 ancestors of the lord. How can you underestimate it? "I still remember that battle, Cao Cao was as cunning as a fox, and he defeated Yuan Shao with only tens of thousands of people.

"Uh..."

The generals' laughter stopped.

Zhang Jaw stabilized his emotions, and arched his hand: "What Mr. said is that we should not underestimate the enemy. But with all due respect, Cao Cao's 100,000 people are not elite. Compared to our army of 400,000, it is much worse. ”

"General Zhang has a point, so... We don't have to worry about anything, just face it! Gao Ran also agreed to fight this battle.

Not only to fight, but also to fight.

wiped out all of Cao Cao's 100,000 people.

The judge seemed to have concerns, and said: "As far as I know about Cao Cao, he doesn't look like a person who doesn't have a city government, Jia Xu and Sima Yi are two old foxes, how can they provoke a battle that must be lost?" This doesn't make sense. So I firmly believe that Cao Cao must have a backhand when he does this. It's just that I still can't figure out what he's going to do. ”

Gao Ran said: "Sir, the last general feels that as long as we are sure that Cao Cao only has 100,000 men, and the location of the battle is within our control, he will not have any chance of victory. ”

"We will win this battle!"

"Victory!"

........

Everyone couldn't hold back their excitement.

In fact, the trial also wanted to fight and exterminate Cao Cao. In this way, when Yuan Xi comes back, he can not only wash away the defeat of Weihe, but also have a good explanation for Yuan Xi.

But on the other hand, once it fails, the consequences are unimaginable.

He can't afford to lose!

Zhang Jaw and Gao Ran couldn't help but be anxious when they saw the hesitation of the trial.

"It's strange, I did things boldly and resolutely before, how did my mother-in-law do it this time?" Gao Ran thought to himself.

"Sir, you'd rather make a decision. Didn't you say that Cao Jun is coming? Jaw said urgently.

"Good!"

The judge suddenly turned around and said, "Leave 100,000 people to guard the camp." Gather 300,000 horses and go to Xifengpo to set up a formation. Under my personal command, as long as Cao Cao dares to come, I will fight him to the death. ”

"Gao Guan."

"The end will be."

The judge said, "You are in charge of guarding the camp. You are not allowed to leave the camp without my orders. You must know that our grain and grass are all here, and we cannot be seized by Cao Cao, who is most short of food now. Also, our giant beast should be optimistic, don't let Cao Cao take the opportunity to set fire... ”

The trial is very comprehensive, and all the possible things are instructed to look up.

Gao Ran also knew that the responsibility was heavy, and responded: "The end will understand." ”

"General Zhangjaw, mobilize 300,000 troops and go with me." The judge walked towards the outside of the camp.

"No."

Seeing that Cao Cao's army was coming, he led 300,000 troops out of the camp and went to Xifengpo. Xifengpo is five miles away from the Hebei Army camp, is a long slope, the bottom is a plain, suitable for cavalry, chariots galloping, but also suitable for the formation to meet the enemy.

The judge chose to fight Cao Cao here, of course, because he wanted to give full play to the role of chariots and cavalry.

But...

Does Cao Cao still dare to come?

"Sir, Cao Cao is still two miles away. Look over there.... He raised his jaw and pointed into the distance. I saw that Cao Cao's banner was already flashing, and a large number of Cao troops, lined up in a phalanx, slowly walked over.

"How dare he come. Well, I'd like to see how he can defeat my army of 300,000! "The judge has already thought about it carefully, and he can't afford to lose this battle.

"General Zhang."

"Yes."

The judge said: "The pioneer battalion under your command, don't go to war. Just guard in the Chinese army. If Cao Cao still wants to attack the flank of our army like he did ten years ago, you will immediately lead your army to meet it. ”

"No."

Make up for the last loophole, and the trial will quietly wait for Cao Cao to come over.

Knock knock...

Cao Cao's army set up a formation, and the drums thundered.

A general ran out from the opposite side: "Bah! I am Xu Chu of Qiaojun, open jaw, do you dare to fight? ”

Xu Chu's challenge by name, if Zhang Jaw does not dare to face it, then he will lose in momentum.
