"Zhongde, you have done a very good job, in this way, the advantage of the Tiger Prison Pass will be gone, how we will deploy troops next, Zhao Yun has no way of knowing, in your opinion, what should we do?"

Cheng Yu is a person that Cao Cao likes very much, the shadow he can see from Cheng Yu's body, when he should be ruthless, he will never be soft, some people are behind Cheng Yu is a cunning fox, and some people say that he is a dog next to Cao Cao.

It is not a flattering, wagging tail and begging pug, but a dog that is loyal to the Lord and can help its owner bite.

Cheng Yu is usually relatively low-key, taciturn, and there are very few people close to him, neither as gentle and polite as Xun Yu, nor as free and easy and humorous as Guo Jia, Cheng Yu's silence can almost make people ignore him, but as long as he speaks, it will definitely make people's eyes shine, and there will be clever strategies.

At the beginning, Yanzhou was almost completely occupied by Lu Bu, and only three county towns were left, and it was Cheng Yu and Xun Yu who worked together to keep Cao Cao's hope of a final comeback.

It was he who was ordered to persuade Dong'e and Fan County to hold on and defeat the Lü Bu army who attempted a sneak attack.

Another time, Cao Cao's military rations were in short supply, and Cheng Yu did not hesitate to kill the villagers in his hometown, using their flesh and blood to make dried meat for Cao Cao to relieve his urgent needs.

Cheng Yu had been frowning and thinking about this question, and after a while, his face suddenly changed, like a jackal in the dark night suddenly showing its bloodthirsty fangs, and his originally dim eyes suddenly flashed brightly.

"Lord, what do you think Zhao Yun will do next?" Cheng Yu asked rhetorically.

Cao Cao pondered for a moment and replied: "Needless to say, the Tiger Prison Pass has lost its effect, and he will definitely transfer his troops to Mengjin to guard against us and Yuan Shao's troops." ”

"This is inevitable, I suggest dividing the troops into two routes, all the way to Hanoi, and you don't have to join forces with Yuan Shao, in addition to the Mengjin ferry, there are other places to cross the river, Zhao Yun doesn't know where we will cross the river from, we can use this to let him further disperse the troops, so as to lengthen the battle line, Zhao Yun's forces are not dominant, the more we divide the troops, the easier it is for us to seize the opportunity." As for the other way......"

When Cheng Yu said this, he suddenly lowered his voice: "We can secretly borrow Nanyang, and then attack Taigu Pass by surprise, and then go straight to Huanglong and attack Luoyang." ”

"Borrowing Nanyang?" Cao Cao twisted his beard, thought for a while, and gradually stretched his eyebrows, yes, this is a risky move, and it is also a wonderful move. ”

Cao Cao then asked, "Do we need to send someone to see Liu Biao?" ”

"No need, since Zhang Xiu's rebellion, Liu Biao's spearhead has turned to Sun Ce, just got the news, Sun Ce sent someone to negotiate with Liu Biao, wanting to temporarily strike the army, but Liu Biao was stunned and did not agree, Sun Ce insisted on using troops against Guangling, which is not a good thing for us."

Guo Jia also approached curiously, Cao Cao glanced at him, and didn't care, such an important secret, changed to others, and didn't want to get close at all, which shows that Guo Jia's status in Cao Cao's mind is extraordinary.

"Yes, yes, Zhongde's plan, really clever, Sun Ce and his father Sun Jian are exactly the same, every battle must be the first, the style is extremely brave, although the Jiangdong clan has repeatedly obstructed it, but Sun Ce is still bent on going his own way, this person is born with courage, and there is Zhou Yu by his side, Liu Biao wants to take advantage of Sun Ce and Chen Deng's glue to profit from it, must not escape Zhou Yu's calculations, the current garrison of Jingzhou soldiers in Nanyang County is very empty, even if our whereabouts are seen through by them, they can't stop us, Liu Biao's troops are dragged by Sun Ce, And the current Taigu Pass defenders must not have more strength, Zhao Yun would never have imagined that we would do this. ”

Cao Cao nodded, since Guo Jia and Cheng Yu agreed to this method, he naturally would not oppose it, winning by surprise has always been a great magic weapon that he relies on to fight in the Quartet.

At the moment, the relationship between him and Liu Biao is very tense, Zhao Yun must not have imagined that he would borrow from Liu Biao's territory, at the moment Zhao Yun's forces are concentrated in Tiger Prison Pass and Mengjin, this time digging up the water, Zhao Yun's troops will definitely transfer from Tiger Prison Pass to Mengjin, and will inevitably ignore the defense of Taigu Pass.

Cao Cao carefully thought and screened in his heart, and finally chose Xiahou Yuan.

Xiahou Yuan's best thing is blitzkrieg, to capture Taigu Pass, time can not be delayed at all, you must race against time, not only to go through hundreds of miles of running, but also to kill with a fatal blow, you must take Taigu Pass.

Cao Cao called Xiahou Yuan to him alone, "Miaocai, there is a difficult task to be handed over to you now, and only you can handle it." ”

Cao Cao looked at Xiahou Yuan with extremely serious and trusting eyes, Xiahou Yuan was not only his brother-in-law, but also his relatives, although the two had different surnames, they had the same blood on their bodies, because Cao Cao's father was from Xiahou's family to Cao Teng.

When Cao Cao made a fuss in the county and killed someone, it was Xiahou Yuan who took the blame for him and went to prison, and over the years, the two brothers Xiahou Yuan made countless military exploits for Cao Cao's hegemony.

In addition, Xiahou Yuan is Cao Cao's lieutenant general, he only took a hundred tiger guards to rob Yuan Xi's fiancée Zhen Mi to Luoyang, Cao Cao didn't expect that he not only completed the task excellently, but also got the Han Emperor Liu Xie to Yanzhou, so, in Cao Cao's eyes, Xiahou Yuan will definitely create a miracle for him again.

Xiahou Yuan was Cao Cao's lieutenant, and Cao Cao believed that Luoyang, the divine capital, was also Xiahou Yuan's blessed land.

"What's the matter? Let's put it bluntly, what kind of instigation at this time. "Xiahou Yuan is a rough man, not very literate, and once Cao Cao said that he was "General Baidi"

"Take Nanyang, surprise attack Taigu Pass, Miaocai, the key to this battle is all on you alone, can you do it?"

"Haha...... Mengde, don't worry, you've found the right person when you look for me, and you'll be on me. ”

Cao Cao repeatedly admonished, and then gave Xiahou Yuan 30,000 elite soldiers, Cao Cao did not tell others where Xiahou Yuan went, so as not to divulge the secret, in addition, in order to confuse Zhao Yun, Cao Cao ordered people to plant a flag on a high ground thirty miles south of the Tiger Pass, so the suspicious array was set up, one was to let Zhao Yun continue to stay in the Tiger Pass, and further disperse Zhao Yun's forces, on the other hand, it was to cover Xiahou Yuan.

Xiahou Yuan took away 30,000 people, and Cao Cao was about to make two or three moves outside the Tiger Prison Pass.

After arranging everything properly, Cao Cao drove his men to Hanoi without stopping, and at noon the next day, he set up a posture of crossing the river and attacking at a ferry thirty miles away from Mengjin.

Zhao Yun obviously took the initiative, but now he was led by Cao Cao's nose, and he was depressed in his heart.

Yuan Shao and Cao Cao chose two different ferries to march at the same time, Zhao Yun had to divide the troops and send generals to stretch the battle line, although there was the Yellow River moat as a support, but Zhao Yun also understood that once they broke through, even if there was only one way to cross the Yellow River, the consequences were immeasurable.
