"Lord, why did you get such news?" Xun You listened to Ma Chao's first words when he returned, and a very ominous premonition suddenly rose in his heart.

Ma Chao subdued more than 300,000 people of the Montenegrin Army on dozens of horses, and had already discussed the recent conspiracy with Leping County, which was really a gorgeous diplomatic negotiation: When the news came, the core talents of the Ma family were no longer suppressed half a month ago, and everyone became jubilant - joining forces with the Montenegrin Army, within ten days, Leping County could be captured. And now that the Ma family is in full swing, the victory of the Quartet has indeed made everyone breathe a sigh of relief.

But now Ma Chao's words have made the entire hall return to the previous heavy and solemn atmosphere: the Yuan Cao War will end in the near future, and it is not in Jizhou!

"My lord, is this kind of news really groundless?" Yang Fu walked forward with some disbelief, and frowned: "My subordinates have reviewed all the military newspapers recently, and I learned that Cao Cao has been fighting fiercely with Yuan Shao these days. The two sides are in the high wall outside the city of Ye, laid out a battle area that stretches for dozens of miles, the daily front is constantly changing, showing a chaotic situation of dogs and teeth, once retreating, at least 20,000 soldiers and countless grains, grass, ordnance ....... lord, how can Cao Cao say retreat? ”

Ma Chao sighed, and after returning, he quickly reviewed the military report of the days he left Jinyang, and learned that the situation was indeed as Yang Fu said. Even, if you recall it carefully, it is the same as the situation in history when Yuan Cao was deadlocked.

In the past month, the struggle between the two sides can really be described as unpredictable. Cao Jun's first plan was a sneak attack.

On June 1, a strange astronomical phenomenon occurred, a total solar eclipse. Cao Cao didn't understand science, but he understood military aircraft, and took advantage of the day and night to lead the army to kill Yuan Shao's sharp spirit. So the first contact battle took place, but at this time, Yuan Shao's army was not leisurely, and they were all waiting for Yuan Shao's order. In the contact battle, Cao Cao's troops were too small to break through the defense of Yuan's camp, so he had to retreat to the fortifications on the periphery of Yecheng: the turtle did not come out, and all took the hard shell.

Yuan Shao thought from time to time, little Wang Ba, you finally don't dare to come out. Then give the order to storm! However, the fortress on the periphery of Yecheng was built by Yuan Shao for a year or two, and the quality of the building reached international certification, there was no moisture at all, and it was completely cheap Cao Cao, and the hard attack had little effect.

As a result, the camps on both sides began a fighting engineering battle. Yuan Shao called people to raise the earth mountain and build a tall building, which could overlook the Cao camp, and the soldiers shot down with arrows. This trick is very powerful, so that it rained arrows in Cao's camp, and everyone had to use a shield as an umbrella when they came out to urinate, and Xiao Jiji was shot accidentally.

Cao Cao held a meeting and encouraged everyone to take out small inventions and creations to deal with Yuan Shao. Cao Ying is also full of talents, and immediately Liu Ye sent skilled craftsmen to build a stone car, which Liu Ye improved to call the thunderbolt car, which is Cao Jun's magic weapon. The ropes and stone bullets used in the thunderbolt are custom-made, and the distance of the stone should be selected with different ropes and different weights. Therefore, as long as the operator understands a little arithmetic foundation, he can be much more accurate than the ordinary stone car, and the technology is no less than the winch stone car improved by the Ma family. The thunderbolt came out and beat the archers on the tall buildings of the Yuan camp to the point that they no longer dared to go up and shoot arrows.

When the plan failed, Yuan Shao came up with another plan and asked someone to dig a tunnel, it was best to dig directly into Cao Cao's office, and take advantage of the third watch in the middle of the night to drill out and kill Cao Cao. Of course, it doesn't matter whose office you dig into, anyway, you can use your strength to Dao Qibing and break through to Cao's camp. As soon as Cao Cao's scouts came back to report, Cao Cao was terrified, and if a bunch of soldiers came out from under the bed in the middle of the night, there would be no need to fight this battle. What to do, another master came up with a plan, digging a trench in the camp area, cutting off the tunnel, and no one wanted to sneak around. Yuan Shao saw that Cao Cao had dug a trench, so he had to give up, it is impossible for you to dig deeper than the trench.

These exchanges were only major events, in which sneak attacks and counter-sneak attacks, charges and counter-charges, scolding formations and counter-scolding formations emerged in an endless stream, and the soldiers in the camps on both sides could not even sleep well. Even, the two bigwigs, Yuan Shao and Cao Cao, have been assassinated many times by the other party's assassins, all of whom were intercepted by Gao Ran under Yuan Shao and Dian Wei Xu Chu under Cao Cao, and killed on the spot.

Therefore, in such a situation, no one with military knowledge would think that Cao Cao would withdraw at this time. Ma Chao was helpless, and finally had to speak: "I happened to save the head of the Zhen family in Zhang Yan's Black Mountain Army, and he told me the news." ”

When everyone heard the news, their faces couldn't help but change a little: the Zhen family was the largest merchant in the entire Jizhou, and a large part of the Yuan's military rations, in addition to the normal levy, was to seize the Zhen family's tenant land. And the head of the Zhen family, who returned to the Cao family, revealed the information that their grain and grass were going to migrate in the direction of Guandu, not because Cao Cao wanted to be cunning in the three caves. The only possibility is that Cao Cao will take the initiative to move the battlefield, break the stalemate between the two armies, and destroy Yuan Shao in one fell swoop.

"My lord, for the sake of the present, we would rather believe what we have than what we don't. The top priority at the moment is to ask Ma Jiajun to completely pacify and merge the state, take advantage of Cao Cao's plan to destroy Yuan Shao, send troops to Wei County and Yangping County, and cut off Cao Cao's road to the north in advance. In this way, the two states of Hebei are all in the hands of our army, and the Ma family is mighty! Xun You's eyebrows moved, and he immediately opened his mouth to break the situation of the Ma family.

Ma Chao didn't know this, however, after hearing about Xun Yu's plan, he shook his head imperceptibly and said: "Gongda, although this plan is wonderful, it is like a castle in the air, considerable but untouchable. Now the Ma family is in full swing, but it is impossible to pacify and merge the state before Cao Cao breaks Yuan Shao. And even if we can pacify and merge the state as soon as possible, we can't know the exact timing of Cao Jun's defeat of Yuan Shao. If the troops are sent early, it will inevitably startle the snake, provoke Yuan Shao's palpitations, and make Cao Cao's plan change; If the army is late...... If it's late, there's no need to say anything. ”

"Why do you have to raid Wei County and Yangping County?" Guo Jia raised his hand, showed a playful smile, and said slowly: "The lord's two worries are one of them. ”

Then he stretched out a second finger: "After all, Yuan Shao has an army of 400,000, even if Cao Gong can break it in one fell swoop, can he capture or behead Yuan Shao?" If Yuan Shao survives, then Jizhou is still Yuan Shao's world, and the Ma family can force Yuan Shao to Youzhou at most, and cannot completely annihilate the Yuan family, so what is the point of attacking Wei County and Yangping County so eagerly? This is the second one. ”

"Cao Gong is based in Yanzhou, and behind him is Qingzhou, and it is unwise to seize Jizhou with the Ma family but not Qingzhou. This is the third. Guo Jia bent his third finger.

Hearing Guo Jia's analysis, Ma Chao was convinced - this is the gap.

From this, it can be seen that our army cannot take Wei County and Yangping, and it is not an urgent matter. The top priority, in addition to pacifying and merging the state as soon as possible, needs to have a strategy, a poisonous strategy that can hit the nail on the head and completely destroy the Yuan clan! ”

As soon as Guo Jia said the word 'poison strategy', two images of two people involuntarily popped up in the minds of everyone in the hall: the old fox Jia Xu and the poisoner Li Ru.

It's a pity that these two people are now guarding Chang'an and can't come here to offer advice. Ma Chao's eyes rolled, and after looking around, he put his eyes on Guo Jia again: "Fengxiao, if you have anything to say, whether it is a poisonous strategy or a wonderful strategy, as long as it can destroy Yuan Shao, it is a good strategy!" ”

"Actually, Gongda has already said my policy. It's just that the location of the attack is a little wrong. Guo Jia's eyes flashed with a glint and he walked leisurely to the large desk covered with a cowhide map.

When Xun You heard this, he seemed to wake up suddenly, and nodded his head and said, "Sure enough, it's a millimeter of difference, a thousand miles of error!" ”

Hearing this, Ma Chao couldn't help but stand up and walked to the side of the map. Then, the foxes also found it interesting, and they came forward one after another, and took a closer look and thought. After a moment, everyone looked at each other, and they all stretched out their fingers and pointed to the same place: "It's here!"
