Cao Cao said in the main camp: "With Cao's understanding of Yuan Shao, he knows that his ambition is great and talented, his courage is insufficient, he is mean and unkind, he is stubborn and self-serving, he has many soldiers and his command is unknown, and he is arrogant and has different government orders.

Although we lost the first battle now, we won with determination and perseverance, confidence and the concerted efforts of all the soldiers!

We will not fail, this time, we have to redeploy and think about how to use Yuan Shao's weakness to attack him.

Do you have confidence in avoiding his edge and finding a way to attack his weakness? ”

The soldiers clasped their fists and replied, "Yes!" ”

Cao Cao nodded with great satisfaction and said, "Now I have decided to use the hundreds of thousands of troops I can concentrate to resist Yuan Shao's attack.

Where is Zang Ba? ”

I saw a burly man step forward, clasped his fists and replied: "The last general!" ”

"I now order you to lead your elite troops from Langyu into Qingzhou, occupy Qi, Beihai, Dong'an and other places, contain Yuan Shao, consolidate the right flank, and prevent Yuan's army from attacking Xudu from the east."

Zang overbearing: "The last general takes the order!" ”

Cao Cao then said: "Yu Ban out of the ranks!" ”

"Please give the Lord's order!" Yu Ban came out of the column and said with his fists clenched.

Cao Cao said: "I now order you to lead 2,000 cavalry to guard Yanjin, an important ferry port on the south bank of the Yellow River, and assist Liu Yan, the Taishou of Dongjun, who is guarding the white horse, to prevent Yuan's army from crossing the river and driving south." ”

Yu Ban received the military token and replied loudly: "The last general obeys the order!" ”

Cao Cao then said: "Cao Ang, Chu Feng are out of the ranks!" ”

"Please give the Lord's order!" Cao Ang and Chu Feng came out together, Shi Li said.

"The task of the two of you is to pacify Guanzhong and win over Liangzhou to stabilize the flanks." Cao Cao commanded.

"The last general obeys!"

Cao Cao himself led his troops into Liyang, Jizhou, and set up his base camp in Guandu to block Yuan Shao's attack from the front.

Judging from the above arrangements, the strategic policy adopted by Cao Cao was not to divide troops to guard the south bank of the Yellow River, but to concentrate troops, hold key passes, focus on fortification, and wait for work at leisure, and strike at the rear.

Because Yuan Shao had many troops and Cao Cao had few soldiers, and the Yellow River could be crossed in many places, if the division of troops to guard the code could not be prevented, it would not only be difficult to prevent Yuan's army from moving south, but also make his already inferior forces more dispersed.

In addition, Guandu is located in the upper reaches of the chasm, on the verge of Bianshui. The chasm canal connects Tiger Prison, Gong and Luo Yao Pass in the west, and goes down to Huaisi in the east, which is the barrier of the north and east of Xudu, and is the important and contentious place for Yuan Shao to seize Xudu. In addition, Guandu is close to Xudu, and the logistics supply is also more convenient than Yuan's army.

The first head-to-head between Cao Cao and Yuan Shao ended in Cao Cao's defeat and retreated to the Yellow River, where he was stationed at Guandu.

After recognizing his Yuan Shao's gap, Cao Cao began to focus on defense and strike backwards, seeking a chance to turn the tables.

After all, the current Yuan Shao is really very powerful, so that he can't touch his edge, so he has to retreat to the second.

Cao Ang rode a war horse, and his interest was average, because he wanted to go to the battlefield with Cao Cao, but he was arranged by Cao Cao to the rear, guarding Guanzhong, and winning over Liangzhou.

In fact, Ma Teng and others in Liangzhou have already come to help Cao Cao, and they have already started a war with Yuan Shao, so they don't need to be wooed much.

Such a task is so easy that Cao Ang, who originally wanted to go to the battlefield, is not in a very good mood now.

In fact, he didn't understand what Cao Cao meant, because Cao Cao and Yuan Shao fought, he himself was not too sure, if he really died on the battlefield at that time, at least there would be a descendant, an heir.

Even if he dies at that time, Cao Ang will be able to ascend to the throne and become the new master of the Cao family, leading everyone to resist Yuan Shao together.

Therefore, Cao Cao was naturally unwilling to let Cao Ang go to the battlefield with him, so he arranged him to the rear to pacify Guanzhong and win over Liangzhou.

"Don't you understand the mind of the lord?" Chu Feng stepped forward and asked.

Cao Ang said in a low mood: "I understand, how can I not understand my father's thoughts, but I just want to go to the battlefield with my father, even if I die, I have to die together."

As for the heir of the Cao family, he can give it to Zihuan, he is now twelve years old, and he is also a smart person, he can be a good heir! ”

Chu Feng patted Cao Ang's shoulder and comforted, "Do you really think that the second son can inherit the great cause well and lead us to continue to resist Yuan Shao?"

Don't talk about the family in Yanzhou, let's just say that the second son is only twelve years old, and his talent is not obvious, who knows how talented he is, and whether he can lead us to continue to resist Yuan Shao?

No one knows, and the people who know the second son are only the lord and you, most of the people are not convinced, can the second son deter these people?

Only you, who have followed the lord to fight in the south and the north for many years, have also established a lot of credits, and his talents are obvious to everyone, if the lord is real, you can also give everyone the confidence to continue to resist Yuan Shao.

Continue to complete the great cause and unify the world. ”

Cao Ang said helplessly: "But ......." ”

Chu Feng directly interrupted Cao Ang's words and said: "There is nothing to do, now that the military order of the lord has been issued, we must follow the completion of the military order to pacify Guanzhong, win over Liangzhou, and stabilize the flanks."

Although we didn't go to the battlefield, we were still helping the lord and helping everyone, which was also a great credit.

Don't underestimate this task, the lord also has a deep meaning, not only to let everyone have confidence, even if there is a real accident, someone will inherit it, but also to stabilize the rear. ”

Seeing that Cao Ang had already listened, Chu Feng continued: "Now that the lord is fighting a decisive battle with Yuan Shao in Guandu, we need the strong support of our rear, and we must ensure that the minimum grain and grass can be supplied.

There is also to prevent those big families in Guanzhong from taking the opportunity to cause chaos, disrupt our army, and disrupt the lord's plan.

Wooing Liangzhou is also so that Ma Teng and Han Sui can do their best to help us, instead of wanting to fight and retreat now! ”

Cao Ang slowly regained his confidence, clasped his fists and said, "Thank you, I know what to do." ”

"Thank you, these are all things I should do, eldest prince, you give orders, we will all listen to you." Chu Feng replied.

Cao Ang looked at the soldiers who followed him, one by one, looking at him hopefully.

"Now that our army is fighting in Guandu, although we can't go to the battlefield, we still have more important things to do than go to the battlefield to kill the enemy.

The whole army obeys the order! Go with me! ”

Cao Ang raised the halberd in his hand and said loudly.

"Let's go!"

With Cao Ang's army suppressing, those ill-intentioned people in Guanzhong and Yanzhou and other places did not dare to rebel, after all, they did not have enough people, and most of them were expropriated by Cao Cao.

Now with this little strength, I really don't dare to make trouble.

The people who followed Cao Ang, but Chu Feng, who killed people without blinking, killed a lot of county officials when he was inspecting Yanzhou.

Its prestige is far and wide, and even children know that Chu Feng is a fierce god and evil spirit.
