Chapter 198. Insidious and cunning Cao Mengde
Cao Cao even under several counties, unstoppable, everywhere he went, in an instant, Yuan Shao's soldiers and horses collapsed, of course, thanks to the courage of the tiger and leopard horse, but also thanks to his own training of the army.
But at such a moment of success, Cao Cao suddenly ordered to stop entering the palace, sent Le Jin as the vanguard, and went west to kill, focusing on Hanoi County!
Yuan Shao never dreamed that the city that Cao Cao had acquired in one fell swoop would all be withdrawn in an instant, but he just ordered the generals not to act recklessly, and those who violated the order were beheaded to show the public!
The Yellow River is surging, Cao Cao's camp is stationed on the south bank of the Yellow River, looking at the yellow water of the river, Cao Cao is suspicious, and his heart is heavy.
"What is there to hide?" Xun Yu asked faintly, although Cao Jun took the lead in this battle, and had Guo Jia's "Ten Defeats and Ten Victories" as a comfort, Cao Cao was still a little panicked about this battle.
If it weren't for the last resort, who would fight with Yuan Shao, the difference in economic strength between the two was too great, so Cao Cao had always been worried, if it wasn't for this battle, he Cao Cao would not have made such an unwise choice.
Cao Cao waved his hand and didn't answer, just stared at the Yellow River tightly, there are many things in this world that actually exist, just like this Yellow River, ever-changing, I don't know what is going to happen in a trance, and I always feel a sense of unease.
"With this Yellow River natural danger, it is not easy for us to defeat Yuan Shao, not to mention, his general Yan Liangwen is extremely effective, I really don't know who under my command can withstand these two people!" Cao Cao sneered, although he often called Yuan Shao a brother when he was young, he looked down on this guy in his heart.
Yuan Shao was anxious for quick success, but his head did not have his own aura, which also made Yuan Shao prepare a lot of black pots for Cao Cao, now thinking about it, Cao Cao still feels that he owes Yuan Shao a lot!
It's really uncomfortable!
"Wen Ruoke knows why Lone wants to withdraw the army?" Cao Cao pretended to ask mysteriously, although he knew that Xun Yu knew the answer, but he still asked with an appetite.
"This is not as difficult as Xun Yu, for the general, do not worry about victory, first worry about defeat, if our army goes forward, it is a lone army to go deep, if Yuan Shao sends people and horses to come, our army's battle line is too long, there must be some can not be connected, and the advance can not attack, retreat can not defend, will inevitably fall into a dilemma!"
Xu Chu on the side said a little unconvinced: "Ling Jun's words are a bit of a fuss, but I don't know that Xiang Yu, the overlord of Chu, was put to death and then reborn, and it is still unknown that our tiger and leopard riders are involved today!" ”
Cao Cao looked around and glared at Xu Chu fiercely, he didn't speak in an instant, or rather, he was shocked by Cao Cao's eyes.
"Xu Chu, do you know why Xiang Yu was put to death and then came to life?" Cao Cao asked.
Xu Chu shook his head, he is a rough person, how can he know so many things, this simple allusion is still heard from other people's mouths.
Cao Cao looked at Hebei and said with a smile: "That's because he can't help it, otherwise, who wants to bring his team to the Ghost Gate, you must know that once you make a mistake, you will lose everything!" Our victory is only a small victory for a while, if Yuan Shao mobilizes troops and horses from all walks of life to come to the aid and surround my tiger and leopard cavalry on the north bank of the Yellow River, the lives of thousands of my soldiers will be lost! ”
Xu Chu nodded thoughtfully, he still didn't understand, in fact, he said it more clearly, is it because his hard power can't beat Yuan Shao!
"Sikong, do you think that the generals under Yuan Shao are only Yan Liangwen and ugly, although these two people are powerful, but they are also a momentary bravery, Yuan Shao is a person, he doesn't know how to use people, so many generals have been delayed by him, and there are many generals and strategists who are going their own way, if Yuan Shao has the same mind as Sikong, I'm afraid the world has already been unified!" Xun Yu said with a smile, praising Yuan Shao and not forgetting to bring Cao Cao with him, this is the terrible thing about Xun Yu.
"Except for Yan Liangwen and Chou, I'm afraid that Yuan Shao can't send anyone to come, when the princes of the Eighteenth Road crusaded against Dong Zhuo, Yuan Shao didn't praise the two generals under him, since Yuan Shao attaches so much importance to it, it means that even if these two people are bad, they are not far behind!"
Xun Yu nodded thoughtfully, there are simply too many talents in this era, if it is replaced by another era, Yan Liangwen is ugly, and he can definitely be called a master's level, but people have to die more than people, and goods have to be thrown away, and it is normal for the two of them not to be brilliant.
He coughed and said: "Sikong, in fact, Yan Liangwen is ugly and ugly, he has two generals under him, one is Gao Ran, the other is Zhang He, especially Zhang He, his wisdom is unparalleled, not only has the ability to command troops, but also can be used according to people, according to local conditions, he is a general!" ”
Cao Cao had heard of this person, if he had the opportunity, he would definitely snatch these two people, it was really a pity that such a talent was placed with Yuan Shao.
"Wen Ruo, since you know my intentions, you should guess that I want to lure Yuan Shao across the river to fight with him, otherwise, if there is a stalemate across the river and it is delayed for a long time, it must be us who will collapse first, and after crossing the river, no one will be the opponent of the lone tiger and leopard horse, and when the battle line is extended, even if Yuan Shao has a divine soldier descending from the sky, Lone can let him fall little by little!" Cao Cao clenched his fists and expressed his determination.
Xun Yu nodded and responded: "What Sikong said is very true, the minister thinks that Yuan Shao will definitely cross the river to fight a decisive battle with the lord, and when the time comes, isn't his vanguard Yan Liangwen ugly, the lord only needs to send someone to cut them off, and there are not many generals under Yuan Shao who are worthy of great responsibilities!" ”
"I haven't thought about this, it's just that Yan Liangwen has always been used, and my generals are probably not his opponents!" Cao Cao sighed and said.
"I'm afraid I've forgotten someone!"
Cao Cao frowned and said: "You mean Guan Yu, it's not that I don't believe him, it's just that I promised Guan Yu that once he has made a contribution, let him go to Liu Bei!" I'm afraid he'll leave! ”
Xun Yu smiled and said, "Didn't Sikong hear that Liu Bei is under Yuan Shao's account now?" ”
Cao Cao looked stunned and said, "What do you mean by this? ”
"Think about it carefully, once Guan Yu kills Yan Liangwen Chou, will Yuan Shao play back Liu Bei, then the two will definitely turn against each other, at that time, Liu Bei's life and death are worrying, and once Liu Bei is killed by Yuan Shao, Guan Yu will have nowhere to go, and he can only follow the lord!"
Cao Cao laughed, looked at the Yellow River and said, "Good strategy!" ”
