Ten days ago.

"In this way, I will go to Baima in person, except for Yan Liang."

Cao Cao's eyes reflected the fire, he hadn't gone out to kill the enemy in person for a long time, and it was time to try the sword in his waist.

Xun You nodded, Cao Cao personally set out to fight, and the first battle victory will definitely boost morale.

Guo Jia stood to the side, with a light smile on his face, but there were obviously some doubts in his eyes, and there were still some problems with this strategy.

Gu Nan still lowered his head, his hand on the grid, and his fingers tapped the hilt of the sword.

"That ······" Cao Cao spoke out and was about to settle the matter.

"General." Gu Nan's fingers stopped and raised his head: "This time, I can go and get a light ride." ”

Cao Cao was stunned and cast a puzzled look at her.

Yan Liang's troops will not be many after the division of troops, and even so, it would be too few to send only one light cavalry.

"After defeating Yan Liang, Yuan Shao knew that Zhongji was likely to send troops to intercept him."

Gu Nan said, looking at Cao Cao.

"If the general leads the army to go, and is stopped at the white horse and cannot return to Guandu, Yuan Shao can easily take down the empty Guandu and enter Xuchang in the south."

"But if I lead an army of light cavalry to attack Yan Liang by surprise, and defeat Yan Liang, even if Yuan Shao sends troops to stop me, the light cavalry is good at advancing and retreating, and it can be discussed in the long run."

Guo Jia put his hands behind his back, his suspicion was this, Cao Cao's troops were too small, and once he was divided into two sides, it would be easy to be broken one by one.

Cao Cao frowned, the risk of Gu Nan's approach was indeed much smaller, but doing so also put her in danger.

If Yuan Shao will send troops to block it, the number of people will never be small, and it will be difficult to fight with a light horse.

"Mr. Gu, is there a way to break Yuan Shao's pursuit?"

The bonfire was burning, and the night was a little cold, Cao Cao pulled his robe and looked at Gu Nan seriously.

"Crackling." A few sparks burst out of the campfire, darkening the faces of several people around the fire.

After probably being silent for a few breaths, Gu Nan said: "There is a way, but this method may have some risks." ”

"Mr. Gu said yes." Cao Cao smiled, he knew that Gu Nan would definitely have a way.

As for the risk, now his strength is far inferior to Yuan Shao, and this battle is extremely risky, so why is he afraid of dangerous moves.

"In that case, let's go to White Horse, and the general will go with me. However, the general does not have to attack Yanliang, he only needs to lead an army to garrison White Horse Mountain. ”

"White Horse Mountain is located in the middle of Guandu and Baimajin, and dangerous generals can quickly rush to the aid of any side."

"When I defeat Yan Liang, if there are pursuers, I will lead the pursuers into the White Horse Mountain, and the general will lead the army to ambush, and when he sees the pursuers, he will kill them in one fell swoop, and the pursuers can be broken."

This is one of them, Gu Nan paused for a moment after speaking.

"As for Guandu, I have to bother Mr. Guo."

His eyes moved to Guo Jia's body and smiled.

"Fengxiao, I remember you told me that you know a little bit of piano rhythm."

Hearing Gu Nan's words, the shallow smile on Guo Jia's face was slightly astringent, and he suddenly had a feeling of a chill behind him.

"You still understand something, Mr. Gu, what do you want me to do?"

"Fengxiao, you led an army to garrison Guandu, but the general and I are leading the army outside, and the strength of Guandu is insufficient, if Yuan Shao attacks strongly, he won't be able to defend it for too long. At that time, the general had to return from Baima Mountain to help, and Yuan Shao's pursuers would be difficult to break. So you may need to come and delay for some time. ”

Guo Jia's smile froze, and he felt that his back was getting colder and colder.

······

The news of Yan Liang's destruction came from Baima, and at the same time, Yuan Shao's main force also approached Guandu and established a camp, and the camp of 100,000 troops was about dozens of miles wide from east to west and Cao Ying. The soldiers stationed in Cao's camp stood on the camp wall every day and saw Yuan Jun's camp, and their hearts were like a sinking stone pressed on their chests.

Yuan Shao stood on his camp and looked at Cao Ying, the wind in the high place was strong, and the wind swept his robe endlessly.

Cao Cao didn't move for a few days, this is not like the Cao Cao he knows, in his impression, Cao Mengde always likes to seize the opportunity.

This inevitably made him wonder, but after thinking about it, with Cao Cao's situation, there should not be many defenders in Guandu. He also sent Wen Chou to chase Gu Nan's army on the white horse, and the defenders in Cao's camp should be even less. It's also normal to focus on defense.

Since you don't want to take the lead, then I'll come first this time.

Yuan Shao squinted his eyes and thought, turned his head, looked at the flag of Yuan Zi on the side, and stretched out his hand to pat it on the flagpole.

He has always disliked his half-brother Yuan Shu, when his mother died, he wore filial piety for his mother for six years, and the man was still in front of him, saying that his mother was a maid, why did he do this.

At that time, he didn't hold back, and knocked Yuan Shu to the ground with one punch. But now, he remembered a sentence that Yuan Shu had sent him.

The younger brother has lost the name of Yuanmen, and I hope that my brother will not live up to it.

Yuan Shao raised his head, and among the banners above his head, a Yuan character spread out in the wind.

Yuan Men, these two words are very heavy for him, and they have pressed him and his mother all their lives underneath. At this time, there is no one to press on his head anymore, but the person who liked to hold him and talk as a child is no longer there.

The soldiers and armor are in line, and the chariots are rolling.

Yuan Shao was wearing armor, riding a white horse, and carrying a seven-foot sword at his waist to lead the army in front of Cao Ying.

Surprisingly, there was not a single soldier on the barracks, not even a piece of armor in sight.

What's even more strange is that the gate of Cao Ying is so open, and the camp gate is empty.

Yuan Jun was like standing in front of an empty camp.

Yuan Shao frowned, stared at the big camp for a while, did not move, and said loudly.

"Cao Mengde, I'm Yuan Benchu, why didn't I avoid it?"

The sound came into the camp, and I don't know how long it took, and a man walked up to the camp wall.

He was a thin literati, wearing a crown on his head, wearing a green robe, holding a long piano in his arms, and a light smile on his face.

The literati was followed by two guards, and there was no one else.

He walked to the edge of the camp wall, smiled at Yuan Jun below, and said.

"Duke Yuan, General Cao knew that Duke Yuan was coming, so he specially ordered me to wait here. said that Yuan Gong liked the rhythm of the piano, and played a song for Yuan Gong when he poured. ”

Yuan Shao's eyes looked at the person on the camp wall, that person he knew, who used to be his master, named Guo Jia Guo Fengxiao.

He watched Guo Jia sit down leisurely, put the long piano in front of him, and gently stroked the strings with both hands, completely just playing the piano. It's like at this time, it's not tens of thousands of troops coming to attack the camp, but old friends visiting.

"My lord." A general with hanging eyebrows bowed his head to Yuan Shao's side and asked in a low voice: "Do you want to attack the camp?" ”

"Wait." Yuan Shao raised his palm and made a stop gesture.

Then he raised his head and called out to Guo Jia.

"Mr. Guo, where is General Cao?"

Guo Jia tried the piano sound, heard Yuan Shao's question, and replied with a smile.

"General Cao still has affairs to do, and after a while, he will be able to come to welcome Duke Yuan."

Yuan Shao fell silent and did not shout again, but looked at the empty camp gate thoughtfully.

"Deng!" While Yuan Shao was thinking, Guo Jia had already finished trying the piano sound, and raised his hand to pluck the strings.

The sound of the empty piano sounded, accompanied by the sound of the wind, and turned around in the array.

"Deng, Deng, Deng······" After a few more sounds, the piano music was played, and the music was soft, like a spring breeze, fluttering by.

The sound of this piano is moving, but it is incompatible with this battlefield, and it has a bit of a weird feeling.

Yuan Shao held his sword and hesitated whether to step forward, the more he couldn't see Cao Cao, the more hesitant he became.

No matter how small the Cao army in Guandu is, it is at least tens of thousands, so the camp gate is wide open, there must be an ambush. If you fall into the scheme, I am afraid that you will affect the situation, so you must not act without permission.

And Cao Cao's absence made him feel even more that the ambush in this camp was dangerous, he had known Cao Cao since he was a child, and he didn't like to be in danger. This kind of practice shows that there must be something to rely on.

Could it be that he had made some kind of alliance with Jiangdong Sun Ce or Liu Yan, so he dared to turn all his troops around, and the soldiers and horses in this battalion were actually comparable to him?

It's not impossible.

If this is the case, if he rushes in, there is no way back.

Thinking of this, Guo Jia's quiet piano sound also became like a song in Yuan Shao's ears, clanging.

The hand holding the reins clenched, Yuan Shao raised his hand and exhaled behind him.

"Withdraw!!"

He is not in a hurry at this time, Cao Cao is virtual or real, and he can slowly test it. On the contrary, if you venture rashly, you may be defeated.

So he chose to withdraw his troops temporarily.

Yuan Jun receded like a tide, Guo Jia's piano music gradually stopped, and the smile on his face stiffened a little.

He propped up the table, didn't stand up, raised his hand and said to a person next to him.

"Wen Yuan, help me."

Zhang Liao stood beside Guo Jia and held Guo Jia's hand suspiciously.

"What's wrong with sir?"

He was captured by Cao's army when Yanzhou was broken, and was finally persuaded by Gu Nan to surrender to Cao Cao's camp.

Guo Jia smiled and wiped the sweat from his forehead.

"I'm weak."
