"Liu Xuande is a hero, he is rich and noble and does not change his will, but he holds power but does not change his heart, unlike what you thought before to ignore Liu Xuande, I was sure that Liu Xuande came for me a long time ago, in his heart Xuzhou is not as important as killing me, even if someone under Liu Xuande helps me cover up the matter of Xuzhou, but as long as Liu Xuande understands the truth...... Cao Cao has a trace of bitterness on his face.

Cao Cao also knew that he had indeed gone too far this time, if Liu Bei knew the truth of the matter, with his benevolence to the people under his rule, it was inevitable that he would not die, so Cao Cao was ready to fight with Liu Bei, and even Cao Cao was ready to take advantage of Liu Bei's anger to take Liu Bei in one fell swoop!

"The lord still don't take this matter to heart, let's take down the Danyang elite soldiers first and then talk about the rest, break the army of Cao Bao, Xuzhou is equivalent to no defense for us in the short term." Cheng Yu said with a calm face.

"The Danyang veterans are worthy of being the elite left over from the Xiliang period of Tao Qian, and their strength is indeed strong, but with Liu Bei behind, we still don't want to attack Cao Bao, although this person does not understand military affairs, but the Danyang veterans under Tao Gongzu have gone through a hundred battles, and even if they don't need to command, they can rely on experience to burst out with extremely strong strength." Xun You said with a slight frown.

The most troublesome thing for elite troops is that they have participated in too many wars, and in the end, even if they don't need to command, they know what kind of situation they are in, what they should do, and they don't need orders at all, they will rely on the battle situation to regulate their every move.

When he said this, a gleam flashed in Xun You's eyes, and then he changed to the same mumu expression as before.

"It's really hard to deal with. With so many elite veterans, if they can be captured, it will be of great help to our Yanzhou's strength. Cao Cao said with envy.

There are more than 30,000 veterans who have all experienced the war, and half of them are elite veterans who participated in the Battle of Xiliang with Tao Qian. The remaining half have also participated in some wars to some extent, and if this kind of army can be successfully integrated, it will be a great supplement to Cao Cao, who does not have too many veterans.

"The Danyang soldiers are semi-mercenary troops, as long as we can capture each other, we can include them in the establishment." Cheng Yu echoed.

Then Cheng Yu remembered the combat effectiveness of the Danyang veterans, and sighed again, "Cao Bao has no talent and no virtue. But even if the 30,000 Danyang elites don't have Cao Bao, they only rely on centurions and military marquis. The commands of Sima's low-level generals were not so easy to defeat, they had experienced too many battles, and they didn't need anyone to command to know what kind of things to do under what circumstances. ”

"I think it's precisely because of Cao Bao that we can easily win this battle." Xun You, who was working as a wood on the side, spoke.

"Gongda has a clever plan." Cao Cao said overjoyed.

"Danyang veterans can be named elite. It's because although he is a mercenary, he can be forbidden. Xun Yu said expressionlessly. The concept of executing orders has been engraved into their minds, for a good commander, they only need to believe in the combat effectiveness of Danyang veterans, and then give orders when the time is right, and Cao Bao's words ......"

"That's a brilliant plan!" Cheng Yu instantly understood what Xun Yu meant, laughed and clapped his hands and said.

Cao Cao pondered for a while and understood what Xun Yu meant, and his face was also happy, so as long as he kept forcing Cao Bao to keep giving orders. Sooner or later, the Danyang soldiers will be confused because Cao Bao does not understand military affairs, and finally they will be self-defeating.

"That being the case. There is no need to transfer Yuan Rang Miaocai and others back now, and every time there is a reinforcement, it will confuse the orders of the Danyang soldiers, and in the end, as long as the Danyang soldiers are in chaos, it will be easy to defeat them. Cao Cao laughed and said, he had already seen the hope of collecting the veterans of Danyang.

As for whether Cao Bao will give orders indiscriminately, Cao Cao can guarantee that Cao Bao will inevitably issue a lot of unrealistic orders at that time, because people who have never been on the battlefield will make that mistake the first time, and more importantly, they can't see what the real situation on the battlefield is.

This will lead to a disconnect between reality and sense, as well as a disconnect between the commander and his subordinates, where it is obviously not dangerous in the commander's sense that it is dangerous, and where it is clearly dangerous, in the commander's sense that it is not dangerous, this will be wrong with the judgment of the veteran, and the chaos can be said to be inevitable after three times and twice.

"We need to choose a place to fight, as long as we fight in a row, Cao Bao, who has won consecutive battles, will definitely fight, and in order to show his generosity, he will inevitably accept the place we choose, so we still choose a place suitable for large-scale operations." Cheng Yu returned his attention to the map after determining that this method was feasible, and their goal was to expand their strength, not how many people they killed in the area.

"Here." Xun You's slender finger pointed somewhere on the map, "Treating captives well is also a kind of benevolence of the princes, 'those who descend do not kill' can also wash away our previous negative impact, and the money, food and jewelry collected before can be taken out for persuasion after taking the Danyang soldiers prisoner for ten years." ”

Cheng Yu and Cao Cao both looked at the plain at the confluence of Yishui and the Yellow River, and both nodded, that place was a place for battle, and now the ice surface was already a little unstable, and it was feasible for a few people to wade through the ice, but tens of thousands of people were absolutely impossible, and the weather in February of the lunar calendar had begun to warm up.

"In that case, let's be here, I don't believe that Cao Bao has the ability to lead the Danyang soldiers to fight the momentum of a backwater battle." Cao Cao laughed.

"If there is no Cao Bao, there is still a certain possibility, but now it is absolutely impossible, Cao Bao is a person with great ambition and talent, once the shape is not good, he will definitely slip away, it is an opportunity for us." Cheng Yu also said with a happy face.

Cao Cao soon wrote a war letter to Cao Bao, and after ordering someone to send it to Pengcheng, he waited for Cao Bao's reply.

On the same day, Cao Bao's document was handed over, without any changes at all, and even noted that if Cao Cao was not satisfied with the place of battle, he could choose another place, and he would not mind.

"Sure enough, I am full of confidence." Cheng Yu laughed after reading the letter, "This battle ended Xuzhou's ability to resist, and Cao Bao is worthy of his name!" ”

"Gongda, you don't seem to be very excited." Cao Cao wrote an order to the Xiahou brothers on the side, imagining the impact on his own forces after defeating Cao Bao.

"I'm thinking about what kind of style Liu Xuande will be like if he attacks with Liu Xuande's heart." Xun You said calmly.

"With Liu Xuande's benevolence, after knowing the actual truth, he probably wanted to eat me, and judging from the previous contact, it is very likely that he will attack me directly regardless of it." Cao Cao didn't think about it.

[This is a good opportunity, if Liu Bei is captured, we will be able to advance and retreat freely. Xun Yu silently calculated, who didn't know that Jia Xu gambled on this. (To be continued......)
