Chapter 329: The decisive battle is imminent
"What? Zhong Dek was caught? ”
In Cao Cao's camp, he was also taken aback when he heard the news.
Cheng Yu was sent out to persuade Zhang Yan of the Black Mountain Army, Sima Yi told him, so he also knew it.
But now there is no news, and he was still a little worried, but now he didn't expect it, and his worries have become a reality.
Cheng Yu has been planning strategies for himself under his own hands, and Cao Cao naturally trusts him.
"Cao Gong, according to Zhang Baiqi's news, Zhongde was indeed taken by Guo Jia and imprisoned in Jizhou."
Sima Yi nodded and said, although he was not surprised, but no matter what, he naturally had to tell Cao Cao the news of Cheng Yu's arrest.
After all, Cao Cao is the master of these three armies, and even if he doesn't say it now, Cheng Yu will find out sooner or later if he hasn't returned to Cao Cao for a long time.
Besides, Guo Jia caught Cheng Yu, so he would naturally make a fuss about him, and Cao Cao would still know about it when the time came.
Therefore, no matter from which point of view, there is no need to hide it, because this is a very stupid act.
"Zhang Baiqi?" Cao Cao was stunned, "But that Yellow Turban Thief Zhang Jiao's eldest disciple Zhang Baiqi?" ”
When the Yellow Turban Army rebelled, Cao Cao also raised troops to suppress it, and when he suppressed the Yellow Turban Army uprising, he met this Zhang Baiqi.
Therefore, Cao Cao naturally has an impression of Zhang Baiqi.
Sima Yi quickly guessed, "Exactly, Gong Cao, then I'll invite people in?" ”
"Let him in, I'd like to have a good look." Cao Cao said with a smile.
At the beginning, this white horse relied on the demon method to stop his army, otherwise, how could he have just been a merit in the first place.
Now he wanted to see what this white horse had become.
With Cao Cao's nod, soon Zhang Baiqi walked in from outside the big tent.
When Cao Cao saw the white-haired man coming over, he was also stunned, "Zhongda? Who is this? This white horse shouldn't age so much, right? ”
At the time of the Yellow Turban Rebellion, this white horse was not too old, and now he looks white-haired, Cao Cao is naturally stunned and can't believe it.
"Zhang Baiqi, I've seen Cao Gong." Without waiting for Sima Yi to answer, Zhang Baiqi had already saluted and identified himself.
"Cao Gong, in the first battle, I was with General Tiangong, but I first learned the power of Cao Gong."
After hearing Zhang Baiqi's words, Cao Cao believed that the person in front of him was this Zhang Baiqi.
I didn't expect it to be like this now.
Zhang Baiqi looked at Cao Cao, seemed to understand Cao Cao's thoughts, and spoke again, "Baiqi is all thanks to Liu Wei today, so I came to help Cao Gong and take revenge." ”
After Cao Cao heard Zhang Baiqi's words, he nodded, so it was.
Just now, I felt strange why this white horse suddenly came to his camp.
Then Zhang Baiqi told Cao Cao everything that happened in Jizhou, including his determination to take revenge.
"Okay, since that's the case, then Cao Mou welcomes you to join." Cao Cao looked at Zhang Baiqi and said with a smile.
The enemy of the enemy is a friend, and since this white horse is also very argumentative, there is no conflict with himself at this point.
Besides, Zhang Baiqi is a person who knows how to demons, and with his help, it will inevitably be beneficial and harmless.
But soon Cao Cao looked at Sima Yi again.
"Zhongda, Zhongde has followed me for many years, and he was captured by Guo Jia at this time, but how can I save him?"
"Lord, let me lead a team of men and horses to kill directly in Jizhou, and take Jizhou down, are you afraid that you won't be able to save Lord Cheng?" Xiahou Yuan immediately spoke at this time.
Although Cheng Yu often says it in his ear, no matter what, Cheng Yu is his own person.
Now that Cheng Yu has been arrested, Xiahou Yuan is naturally uncomfortable.
The people around him, how the two have a holiday and how they quarrel is their own business, but now that Cheng Yu has been arrested, this nature is naturally different.
"Miaocai, you, you're still too impulsive, if you go to Jizhou like this, not only can't you save Zhongde, but you can't come back yourself." After Cao Cao listened to Xiahou Yuan's words, he glanced at Xiahou Yuan and sighed.
After Xiahou Yuan heard Cao Cao's words, he didn't speak a little stupidly.
"If you can take Jizhou, won't I let you go?" Cao Cao glanced at Xiahou Yuan and then continued to speak.
If Xiahou Yuan had such a ability, he would have already won the battle of Guandu, so why wait until now.
"Besides, if you want to save Zhongde, you don't need to go to Jizhou." Cao Cao glanced at Xiahou Yuan and then spoke again.
"Don't have to go to Jizhou? What do you mean, my lord? After Xiahou Yuan heard Cao Cao's words, he was even more puzzled.
If he said that he couldn't take Jizhou, he could understand that he was indeed too impulsive to say such a thing.
But now that Cao Cao suddenly said that he didn't have to go to Jizhou, Xiahou Yuan was naturally puzzled.
"The lord is right, Guo Jia captured Zhongde, he will definitely not kill him easily, but will tell Liu Wei the news, and Liu Wei will inevitably escort Zhongde to the Guandu camp."
Sima Yi nodded with a smile at this time and said, Cao Cao can see through this, Sima Yi is not surprised at all.
Cao Cao's talent, he didn't dare to underestimate it at all.
"That's right, Liu Wei will definitely not let go of this opportunity, so if we want to save Zhongde, we don't need to go to Jizhou to take risks, if we go to Jizhou, it will be tantamount to throwing ourselves into the net."
Cao Cao nodded after listening to Sima Yi's words, and what Sima Yi said was exactly what he wanted to say.
For smart people, there are some things that are not necessary to say, this is what to say to Xiahou Yuan.
However, after Zhang Baiqi on the side heard Sima Yi's words, he finally understood what Sima Yi said to him when he was in the big tent before.
It turned out that this was the reason why there was no need to go to Jizhou to save people, and Zhang Baiqi had a little more confidence in his heart at this time to take revenge on Cao Cao.
"In that case, my lord, we just have to wait quietly." After Xiahou Yuan reacted, he immediately answered with a smile.
"General Miaocai's words are not right or wrong." After listening to Xiahou Yuan's words, Sima Yi immediately shook his head and said.
"You scholar, whether it's right or not, you just say it directly, what does it matter to sell, what is right or not."
As soon as Xiahou Yuan heard Sima Yi's words, he immediately became impatient again, and then looked at Sima Yi and said.
"Isn't it strange that you people who read books say that you are halfway talking."
As soon as Xiahou Yuan's words came out, many people immediately laughed.
"I'm right, that's because we really have to wait, wait for them to escort people over, I said no, that's because we can't blindly wait for Liu Wei to act." Sima Yi looked at Xiahou Yuan with a smile and said.
Cao Cao nodded after listening to Sima Yi's words, "Looking at Zhongda's appearance, it seems that you already have a plan, so just say it and listen to it." ”
"Since they want to use Zhongde as bait, then we will simply pretend to be in the middle of the plan."
"But as Zhongda said, then how can we know when and where Zhongde will be escorted to Guandu." Cao Cao frowned and said.
If you only bet on Cheng Yu from Jizhou, then there are too many routes in it, so if you don't know, there is no way to do what Sima Yi said.
"Lord, have you forgotten, we don't need to check this route, and he will naturally tell us when the time comes." After hearing Cao Cao's words, Sima Yi looked at Cao Cao and said with a smile.
"But I ignored it, Zhong Da said." After Cao Cao heard Sima Yi's words, he immediately nodded and said.
Since Liu Wei wanted to lure himself into taking the bait, then he naturally needed to tell them the news.
So they didn't need to check at all, and Liu Wei would naturally tell them the news.
Immediately, everyone looked at each other and smiled.
Guo Jia naturally didn't know this, if he did, I really don't know if he would regret letting Zhang Baiqi go.
Liu Wei was in the camp at this time, and after the letter was delivered, Liu Wei continued to look at everyone.
"Now it's spring, the decisive battle is imminent, and we will cross the river tomorrow." Liu Wei got up and looked at everyone and said.
Cao Cao, I've been waiting for this day for a long time.
