"The lord has already thought about attacking Jinan?"

Cao Cao looked at Guo Jia in front of him, and said with a straight face: "Guandu can't fight, and Puyang in Dongjun is defended to death by Xiang Ao, what if you don't attack Jinan?" ”

Guo Jia sighed slightly, and said in a deep voice: "If the lord insists on attacking Jinan, Jia has a plan. ”

"Where did the plan come from?"

Guo Jia straightened his body and said: "Xi Zhong and Jia Nai were friends when they were young, and people in the world talk about who knows Xi Zhong best, and Jia must be." ”

"The drama is talented and strategic, and it is not inferior to Jia. If you want to let the drama into the urn, it is not a matter of one or two plans. ”

Cao Cao looked at Guo Jia solemnly, did not urge, and waited for Guo Jia to come slowly.

"Xi Zhicai led the Eastern Army of Yanguo to cross the Yellow River by force, although the casualties were not small, but after all, they had entered the boundary of Jinan. Spending such a big price to invade Jinan, if we don't treat the drama as a desperate situation, we will not give up if we want to come to the drama. ”

"In this case, the lord can first garrison Dongjun, pretend to use Dongjun as a breakthrough to force the Yellow River."

"And then recruit troops in the whole of the Chen country."

"Recruiting on a spree? Why? Cao Cao was a little puzzled. Although Chen Guo is weak now, after all, the foundation is there, and there is no realm of exhaustive military force for the time being.

"Give Xi Zhong the illusion that my Chen State is not strong enough."

"Illusion?"

"Hmm!" Guo Jia nodded emphatically and said: "Regardless of whether you believe it or not, as long as you put this illusion out." ”

"What about faith? What if you don't believe it? ”

Guo Jia smiled mysteriously: "Don't worry, Rong Jia said slowly." ”

If you believe it, it's easy. Xi Zhicai will definitely wave his army south, cross Mount Tai, and break into the hinterland of Yanzhou. At that time, the lord only needs to ambush the soldiers near Mount Tai, and he will be able to play a surprise game. ”

"If it doesn't work, it's easy. The lord ordered the three armies to launch a fierce attack on Qingzhou. ”

When Cao Cao heard this, he was stunned for a moment, and then nodded suddenly.

"And then?"

Cao Cao saw that Guo Jia didn't speak for a long time, and thought that Guo Jia was selling Guanzi again, so he took the initiative to ask.

Guo Jia smiled lightly and said: "The ambush is just an appearance, what the lord has to do is that the ambush is just to reveal the defeat and lead the drama into the hinterland." If the whole army is pressed into Qingzhou, the lord can withdraw all the troops of Dongjun, and Xiang Ao of Yecheng will have an empty city plan. ”

Guo Jia said, Cao Cao nodded clearly. The strategy is also simple, combining fiction and reality, throwing out the bait, whether Xi Zhicai is fooled or not, either the decisive battle in Qingzhou, or the lure out of Xi Zhicai's army, and eat Xiang Ao's Eastern Army.

Although the possibility of success is very high, in Cao Cao's view, it does not seem to be of much help to Chen Guo's current situation.

Cao Cao paced back and forth in the military tent, constantly thinking about how to deal with Xiang Ao in his mind.

"Now that Chen Guo is in danger, the gains and losses of one city and one pool, one state and one county are no longer so important."

Cao Cao's words made Guo Jia stunned, and then he looked at Cao Cao in amazement, and said uncertainly: "Does the lord want to lead Xiang Ao to a direct decisive battle?" ”

Cao Cao nodded indifferently and said softly: "The competition between a city and a pond can naturally give Wu Chen a chance to breathe, but Liu Bei in the west has lost most of the territory of Yizhou, and Sun Ce of Wu has lost Jingzhou. ”

"In that case, we must lure Xiang Ao out."

"How?" Although Guo Jia already had the answer in his heart, he still couldn't bear to ask Cao Cao.

"Kill!" Cao Cao said with a fierce face: "Xiang Ao is a person who attaches great importance to affection and righteousness, and has deep personal relations with many generals under his command. If Xi Zhicai is killed in Qingzhou at this time, I think Xiang Ao will go crazy. ”

Guo Jia wanted to persuade Cao Cao to play loyalty, but it seems that his lord's analysis is now very correct, and now he can only provoke Xiang Ao and let Xiang Ao fight a decisive battle with the lord, whether it is life or death, the battle will be won or lost.

"Hey..."Guo Jia sighed slightly, and said uncertainly: "Xiang Ao is very close to the soldiers under his command, but Xi Zhicai has followed Xiang Ao for a long time, and there must be a lot of guards around him." ”

seems to be telling the truth, but it seems to be persuading Cao Cao to dispel the idea of plotting loyalty.

Cao Cao glanced at Guo Jia and chuckled: "What if there are guards, this king has no intention of sending someone to assassinate him." ”

"Huh?" Guo Jia was stunned for a moment, and asked puzzledly: "What does the lord mean..."

"Booby-trap!" Cao Cao sank his face and said gloomily: "Introduce Xi Zhicai into the territory of Yanzhou, catch turtles in an urn, and then..."

Cao Cao said, raised his right hand and made a throat-cutting motion in front of his throat, and the killing intent in his eyes surprised Guo Jiadu.

Perhaps Cao Cao was about to go crazy because of Xiang Ao's might, and after deciding, Cao Cao recklessly began to dispatch a large army and start to attack the drama of Jinan Middle School in Qingzhou.

At this time, Qingzhou Jinan National Governance Office Dongpingling (now west of Zhangqiu, Shandong).

"Lord Taiwei, a letter from King Yan."

Xi Zhong frowned slightly, took the letter from the guard's hand, and read it carefully.

After a few moments, Xi Zhong placed the letter on top of the candle and burned it to ashes.

"Ordered the three armies to march east into Qi (present-day Linzi City, Zibo City and Linqu City, Shandong)."

"No!"

The guards took the order and left, spreading the military order of Xi Zhong to the three armies. Soon, the army led by Xi Zhong sent troops to Qi State.

Cao Cao never imagined that when he led his army to lure Xi Zhong out of Qingzhou, Xi Zhong's army actually marched east to kill Qi State.

After getting the news, Cao Cao almost didn't laugh.

Since Xi Zhong led the army eastward into the Qi State, Cao Cao immediately gave up all the previous strategies, did not make a feint attack in Dongjun, did not make any unusual moves in Guandu, occupied the Qi State as quickly as possible, and then sent troops to Le'an State (hundreds of miles around the mouth of the Yellow River).

After capturing the states of Qi and Le'an, Cao Cao immediately set up heavy troops along the Yellow River and resisted the army of Yan on the other side of the Yellow River.

"Father, it's not good!"

Xiang Ping rushed into Xiang Ao's official residence in Yecheng and yelled with worry on his face.

"Panic what?"

"Cao Cao suddenly sent troops, occupied the State of Qi and the Kingdom of Le'an, and surrounded Taiwei Xizhong in Qingzhou."

"What!" Xiang Ao exclaimed in surprise and stood up violently: "This king just issued a military order to let Xi Zhong advance eastward, why did Cao Cao appear in Qi State?" ”

"There's an inner ghost?"

Xiang Ao's face was very ugly at this time, and he was also very ruthless.

"Probably not." Xiang Ping frowned, and said with concern: "It seems that Cao Cao originally planned to send troops to Qi State, but he happened to meet Taiwei Xizhong's army marching eastward. ”

Xiang Ao was slightly stunned when he heard this, and then hurriedly came to the front of the map and looked back and forth on the map for a long time.

"Quickly send an order to Gao Shun and attack Dongjun!"

Xiang Ao looked very anxious at this time, and even longed for the appearance of rushing to the front line, and said with some panic: "Cao Cao's target is not the army led by Zhicai, but Zhicai himself. ”

"What?"

"Cao Cao is the original realm lord of this world, and countless people in history have commented that Cao Cao is the hero of the world. Cao Cao confronted the king on both sides of the Yellow River for several years, without the slightest advance, and now the army of Wu Yan is always looking like it can easily take the world, Cao Cao will inevitably jump over the wall in a hurry, forcing the king to fight a decisive battle with him. ”

"If you want to persecute this king, what method does Ping'er think Cao Cao will choose?"

Xiang Ao's analysis made Xiang Ping's face ugly. Xiang Ao came to this world, in addition to showing force and wisdom beyond ordinary people, what is still fresh in people's memories is the importance of love and righteousness.

If you want to anger Xiang Ao, then kill the closest people around Xiang Ao. For example, Xi Zhong.

Xiang Ping didn't dare to hesitate, and said hurriedly: "Father, don't worry, Ping'er personally leads the army to attack Dongjun, and must let Cao Cao withdraw his troops to help." ”

Xiang Ao didn't speak, his face was low, and he nodded solemnly.

At this time, in Qingzhou, Cao Cao's army of 100,000 had surrounded the elite regiments of less than 50,000 loyal to Xi.

"Brother Zhicai, can you come out and talk?"

Guo Jiaze's horse was in front of the military formation, and shouted loudly towards the army led by Xi Zhong.

After a long time, Xi Zhong slowly walked out of the military formation under the protection of a group of guards.

"Brother Zhicai, long time no see."

Xi Zhong smiled lightly and waved at Guo Jia: "It's been a long time, it seems that Fengxiao's body is well-nourished." ”

"Thanks to the blessing of Zhicai, Jiazhi's stubborn illness has been exhausted."

"That's good!" Xi Zhong nodded with satisfaction, and then said with a straight face: "I don't know what General Fengxiao shouted in front of the battle?" ”

After two or three sentences, Xi Zhong ended the conversation and brought the topic back to the battlefield.

Although Feng Xiao couldn't bear it, he still arched his hand to the drama in a businesslike manner, and replied loudly: "My lord Cao Cao is a man of benevolence and virtue, with his own ambition, he wants to support the Han family and return the people to peace." Brother Zhicai is the best man in the world..."

"Hehe, why is General Fengxiao so hypocritical, he is in such a situation, and he still wants to help the Han family?"

Belch! Xi Zhong's interruption made Guo Jia stunned for a moment, and then said with a slight anger: "My lord Cao Cao came with the determination to kill Brother Zhicai, Jia Nian and the two of us were friends in the past, I don't want to see Brother Zhicai die heroically, is Brother Zhicai so unappreciative?" ”

"Kill me? Hahaha! Xi Zhong laughed arrogantly: "Since you want to kill me, why does General Feng Xian look like he is persuaded to surrender?" Ridiculous? ”

"Xi Zhicai, you..."

Guo Jia was so blocked by Xi Zhong that he couldn't speak, so he had to look at Xi Zhong viciously. Guo Jia took two deep breaths, calmed himself down, and said in a deep voice: "Even if General Zhicai doesn't care about his own life and death, it's best to think about the tens of thousands of soldiers under his command. ”

"Answer Captain Ben, the soldiers of the Yan Kingdom, what should I do if I am in a desperate situation?" Xi Zhong did not answer Guo Jia's words, but raised his voice.

"Fight to the death! Fight to the death! Fight to the death! ”

Xi Zhong looked around at the soldiers, nodded with satisfaction, turned his head to look at Guo Jia, and smiled disdainfully: "I think that Feng Xiao's ability to understand the confidant of his former friend is not wanted... Hehe! ”

Xi Zhong's reaction made Guo Jia really angry. I think about Xi Zhong's life, and I don't want Xi Zhong to be so ignorant of current affairs.

"In that case, then don't blame my lord for being ruthless!" Guo Jia said fiercely, turned around and drove his horse into the military formation.

"Woo woo woo..." The sound of the horn suddenly remembered, and 100,000 Cao troops rushed up.

"Kill! Kill! Kill! ”

The 100,000 Cao army launched a charge, their fierce faces like hungry wolves, and they treated the Yan army as lambs.

"The soul of Yan Huang, fearless! Kill! ”

Xi Zhong shouted, contrary to the usual command of the rear army, waved the long sword in his hand, and rushed towards Cao Jun to kill.

Xi Zhong's example made the morale of the Yan army, which was originally not low, even higher.

"Kill! Kill! Kill! ”

The soldiers of the Yan army did not have a look of fear on their faces, as if they were the dominant side, and they charged towards the Cao army without hesitation.

At the junction of Qi State, Jinan State and Taishan County, the smoke of gunpowder was filled, and today's war broke out.

There is no strategy on either side, and the only way to win is to kill, endless fighting. Only by killing all the enemy troops and killing them cleanly, each has a chance to live.

Although Cao Jun does not have the firm belief of Yan Jun, there will be brave men under heavy rewards, and warriors under heavy punishments. Under the supervision of Cao Cao's battle camp, Cao Jun also ignored life and death and launched a charge against the Yan army.

Swords collided, fists and teeth were wrong, and as long as it wasn't their own allies, both sides used the most desperate attacks.

Especially where Xi Zhong was, the endless Cao Jun rushed in the direction of Xi Zhong.

Although Xi Zhong is Xiang Ao's adviser and plans in the rear most of the time, Xi Zhong has not let go of the practice of swordsmanship. When you go to the battlefield, you will not be soft in the slightest.

Under the protection of elite guards, Xi Zhong has already slashed and killed more than a dozen Cao army soldiers.

"Xi Zhong, suffer death!"

With a burst of shouts, Xiahou Yuan suddenly appeared in the middle of the battlefield, and rode his horse towards Xi Zhong to kill him.

Like a tiger descending from a mountain, the long knife in Xiahou Yuan's hand kept slashing left and right, slashing the Yanguo soldiers who were blocking in front of him to the ground.

"Protect the Captain!"

The brave escort commander shouted, rushed to the front, and exchanged hands with Xiahou Yuan.

The guards who protect Xi Zhong are the elite divisions trained by Xiang Ao himself, and they are all comparable to second-rate generals. The commander stepped forward to fight, and the guards behind him would not look at him. Dozens of people were left to continue to protect Xi Zhong, and the rest of the more than 100 people all flocked towards Xiahou Yuan.

"Humph! Mantis arm as a car! Xiahou Yuan snorted fiercely, the speed of rushing and killing did not decrease by half a point, if he could kill, he would kill, and if he could not kill, he would quickly dodge. Xiahou Yuan's characters are not fighting, but to kill Xi Zhong.

It's a pity that both Xiahou Yuan and Cao Cao underestimated the strength and bravery of the guards Xiang Ao sent to Xi Zhong.

The guards who were not killed by Xiahou Yuan did not give up, but cooperated with each other to pass through the enemy army and besiege Xiahou Yuan.

"Xiahou Pifu, if you want to get close to the Taiwei, kill us!" The commander of the guards shouted loudly, and used the most powerful tricks in his life to kill Xiahou Yuan.

Xiahou Yuan didn't expect these guards to be so difficult, as if they couldn't be cut to death, even if they were seriously injured, they would drop their horses and armor, making it difficult for them to move an inch.

Although the Guardian Commander was more powerful than the guards, he was still not Xiahou Yuan's opponent. In a duel, the Guardian Commander was smashed out and fell into the crowd. Seeing that Xi Zhong was surrounded by the soldiers of the Yan Kingdom, protecting him and retreating backwards, Xiahou Yuan was anxious, raised the long knife in his hand, and threw it at Xi Zhong.

The long knife with a whistling sound appeared in front of Xi Zhong in the blink of an eye.

"Be careful, sir!" The quick-eyed guard shouted in a panic and pounced in front of Xi Zhong.

With a soft pop, the long knife thrust into the guard's chest and fell above the hilt. Before the guards behind him could relax, the momentum of the long knife did not weaken, and with the body of the guard, it thrust into Xi Zhong's heart with a pop.

"Captain!"

"Your Excellency!"

The guards exclaimed, their faces frightened, angry, and guilty!

"Protect the Captain, quick, protect the Captain!" One of the guards roared frantically and ordered a dozen or so guards to continue to protect Xi Zhong, who was already bleeding from the corners of his mouth.

"Brothers, kill Xiahou Yuan, kill Xiahou Yuan!"

The guards went crazy, roared angrily, raised the long knife in their hands, and rushed towards Xiahou Yuan.

The speed made Cao Jun stunned. Cao Jun, who staggered past the various guards, naturally wanted to leave the Yan army guards who rushed towards Xiahou Yuan, and kept slashing at the Yan army guards.

However, the crazy Yan Army guards didn't seem to feel the sharp pain coming from their backs and shoulders, and they still kept rushing and killing, and dozens of guards soon came to Xiahou Yuan's face.

Xiahou Yuan no longer had a weapon in his hand, and in a panic, he easily pulled out the arrows in the quiver on the horse's back and used them as weapons, constantly harvesting the lives of the guards.

However, the guards were too desperate, and gradually, the Yan army guards raided Xiahou Yuan's side, either with weapons, or with fists and feet, or with mouths and teeth, attacking Xiahou Yuan.

Two fists were invincible to four hands, and Xiahou Yuan was quickly overwhelmed by dozens of guards.

"Hurry up and general!" The stunned Cao Jun soldiers reacted at this time, roared angrily, and rushed towards Xiahou Yuan's battle group.

The Yan army guards on the periphery did not stop resisting, cutting people when they saw them, and biting them if they didn't have weapons. Half an hour later, Xiahou Yuan was finally dragged out by Cao Jun from the Yan army's guards.

Yes, dragged out. At this time, Xiahou Yuan was no longer in human form. The flesh and bones of the left and right cheeks were bitten hideously, and the major arteries in the neck were still spurting blood outward. The armor on the whole body had long since been removed, and all that was left was a torn underwear with countless tooth marks.

"Kill!"

Just as the battlefield was getting hotter and hotter, an army of ants suddenly appeared on the periphery of the battlefield, and most of them were cavalry.

The leader is none other than Xiang Ao, who has already made Cao Cao a little afraid.

10,000 feathers killed the camp, and under Xiang Ao's shout, like a sharp sword, rushed into the back camp of Cao Jun.

Followed by 20,000 elite cavalry of the Yan Kingdom, 10,000 heavy armored infantry and tens of thousands of elite Yan Countries.

Cao Cao, who was hiding in the military formation, ordered a retreat the moment he saw Xiang Ao leading the appearance.

Cao Cao didn't know how Xiang Ao let tens of thousands of cavalry cross the river to help the battlefield so quickly, and he didn't have time to think about it, Xiang Ao's cavalry was a powerful world.

Cao's army retreated, but Xiang Ao ignored it and hurriedly looked for Xi Zhong's figure in the army.

"Lord!" With a loud shout, Xiang Ao hurriedly looked for the sound.

"My lord, we failed to protect Lord Taiwei!"

The guard slammed his knees and said with a crying voice.

Xiang Ao turned over and dismounted, and strode in front of Xi Zhong, who was half-hugged by the guards.

"Ugh! Ahem, Lord... Lord! ”

"Zhicai, don't speak!" Xiang Ao was grateful to stop Xi Zhong, turned around and shouted frantically: "Healer! Healer! Come over to this king! ”
