Chapter 199. Lure the enemy deeper
Cao Cao wanted to tempt Yuan Shao to cross the river to fight, this was undoubtedly a wise choice, first of all, if Yuan Shao was north of the Yellow River, Cao Cao could not attack and retreat, and would be in a dilemma.
Secondly, the three armies have not moved, the grain and grass go first, and the grain and grass crossing the river is too inconvenient, and the weather north of the Yellow River is somewhat different from Henan, so the army may be very uncomfortable.
"Sikong, if you want to tempt Yuan Shao to cross the river to fight, you must complete it as soon as possible, Yuan Shao has many generals, so he is naturally not afraid of delay, but we are different, our grain and grass will not last long." Xun Yu was worried, although he knew that Yuan Shao was usually very mediocre, but he still had some famous strategists under him, such as Xu You and Tian Feng, as well as Guo Tu.
But relying on Yuan Shao's temperament, he will definitely not easily believe in these strategists, he is a person, he is really confused when he is confused, but if he is shrewd, he is really smarter than anyone else.
"This Lone doesn't know, it's just a matter of strategy, and it is definitely not a momentary decision, but Lone must have given Yuan Shao a big bait, so that he has to cross the Yellow River to fight with us!" Cao Cao turned his back to his hand, and Yanran was confident.
The two of them walked along the embankment of the Yellow River, and the two of them continued to walk forward, and as soon as they took a few steps, Guo Jia came with great interest, saluted Cao Cao, and said respectfully: "Minister, meet Sikong!" ”
"Fengxiao, you and I have a heart-to-heart relationship, why are you still so polite, you don't have to be polite!" Cao Cao waved his hand, Guo Jia made such a move, it was indeed a little too rusty.
Guo Jia followed behind Cao Cao, standing side by side with Xun Yu, and couldn't wait to say: "Sikong, there is news from Qingzhou, the Xuzhou army led by Zang Ba has successfully attacked Qingzhou County many times, and only waited for Yuan Tan to return to Xuzhou as soon as he sent troops. ”
"Haha!" Cao Cao chuckled twice and praised: "Zang Ba, this kid is a bandit, not to mention that this strategy is really useful, reply to tell them that if you continue to attack, he Qingzhou will not want to be peaceful for a day!" ”
"Sikong, there is also bad news, there is a person in Xuzhou, that is, Changba, who has always been unwilling to submit, not only did not follow the order, but also robbed Xuzhou's military rations, this person has not been very peaceful!" Guo Jiayu reports.
Cao Cao looked at Xun Yu and asked, "Wen Ruo, what advice do you have for this matter?" ”
"Sikong, now we are fighting everywhere for many years, now our great enemy is Yuan Shao, we must not kill each other, once we kill Changba, Xuzhou City will be in chaos, Sikong, now we should focus on the overall situation!"
Cao Cao thought about it, this Changba is really not a good thing, Cao Cao once worshipped him as the county guard, and he readily agreed, but he didn't obey the order, what kind of dog thing is this, when he wins the battle, Cao Cao must be the first to kill him.
He waved his hand and said helplessly: "Forget it, tell Zang Ba, don't mess around, just send someone to pacify it!" ”
After a while, Lejin's herald came to report and said: "Qi Sikong, General Lejin marched west along the river, destroyed Yuan Shao's barracks north of the Yellow River, annihilated thousands of enemy troops, captured dozens of Yuan army generals, and specially sent me to inform Sikong!" ”
The movement caused by this attack is not small, not only the whole Hebei, I am afraid that the whole world knows about it, Yuan Shao wants to find a crack to get into at this moment.
Cao Cao was quite pleased, and murmured: "Okay, Lejin is heroic, and he really lives up to my trust, this time he did a good job, tell them not to delay, evacuate quickly, and join the army quickly!" ”
"Whoa!" After the soldier said a word, he quickly retreated!
At this moment, I have walked to the camp of the tiger and leopard riding, and I have been fighting hard for so many years, this is the time to witness the real chapter, it is the mule that the horse is pulling out to slip away.
Cao Cao sat on the upper seat, looked at the people standing under the hall, and couldn't help but feel very comforted, these veterans followed him to life and death, so that he had today's achievements.
"Ladies and gentlemen, this battle will determine the fate of the world, this will be an earth-shattering battle, it will be a battle that will leave a name for a thousand years, and it will also be a battle that will go down in history!" Cao Cao said in a low voice, with arrogance and arrogance in his words.
Cao Cao was born with a kind of imperial spirit, full of prestige when he spoke, and even more emperorly, he swept his eyes, and he felt a little afraid when he came to the hall!
"Zhang Liao Xu Huang listens to the order!" Cao Cao took out an arrow and said to Zhang Liao and Xu Huang.
Two people came out to respond: "The subordinates are here!" ”
"The two of you set up a camp in Guandu, pile up earthen ramparts, and prepare a large army to camp and station!" Speaking of this general, there was an uproar, this place is too far behind, far from the front line, how can it be possible to station a large army in this place, Xun Yu smiled slightly, it seems that this is the place where Cao Cao decided to fight Yuan Shao.
Zhang Liao and Xu Huang were stunned for a while, and withdrew after receiving the order, and the rest were stunned for a while, but they were restrained by Cao Cao waving his hand, and he said leisurely: "The rest of the people build ships and equipment, and they can't fight without my order, so go down!" ”
The generals could only retreat in anger, and seeing that all the generals were gone, Cao Cao asked, "How about the two?" ”
Cao Cao also has vanity, he asked this, of course, to let Xun Yu and Guo Jia praise him, Guo Jia stepped forward and said: "Sikong wants to fight Yuan Shao here, of course, it is good, but Yuan Shao will really be fooled, if he doesn't come, aren't we doing these things in vain?" ”
"Bait has been prepared here, I'm not afraid that Yuan Shao won't take the bait!" Xun Yu said: "It's such an attack and a sneak attack, Yuan Shao is afraid that he should have been unable to sit still!" ”
"Wen Ruo thinks Yuan Shao will definitely come?" Guo Jia paused when he spoke, and asked unexpectedly.
Xun Yu smiled slightly and said: "It depends on what kind of name the lord uses, Sikong and Yuan Benchu have known each other for more than 20 years, if you want to talk to Yuan Shao about wine, how dare Yuan Shao not come!" ”
Cao Cao laughed and said: "I hope Yuan Shao can still be as innocent as before, I know his character, he also understands my character, I didn't pit him less when I was young, he may come back to take revenge on me this time!" ”
Guo Jia couldn't be happy, his face was full of black lines, and he seemed to be preoccupied!
"Feng Xiao has something on his mind?" Cao Cao asked.
Guo Jia took a step forward and said: "I'm worried about a person, Jiangdong Sun Ce, this person has always been brave, with the demeanor of his father Sun Jian, if we start a war with Yuan Shao in the north, Sun Ce takes the opportunity to sneak attack the south of Yanzhou, we will be difficult to take care of, and then the left and right will be overwhelmed, how should we deal with it?" ”
