Speaking of the last time Sima Yi received a fake military order, Cao Shuo said: "I will not accept the foreign military order, and if I encounter such a thing in the future, if the matter is urgent, I will first complete the task according to the original plan, and then follow the military order." ”

"That's what Childe said!" Sima Yi responded.

"But it's also a matter of prioritization." Cao Shuo said: "If it is an urgent military order and it must be executed immediately, it cannot be delayed for a moment. Postponement or immediate execution is up to you! ”

"Don't worry, Childe!" Sima Yi said: "I know how to distinguish these! ”

Cao Shuo nodded and didn't say anything more.

Thousands of soldiers braved the goose feathers and heavy snow, left Xudu, and advanced all the way to Wancheng.

At the same time, Zhang Xiu, who was stationed in Sui County, also received news of Cao's army's expedition.

In Zhang Xiu's room, Jia Xu sipped tea slowly, as if the upcoming war had nothing to do with him.

Unlike Jia Xu, Zhang Xiu kept walking back and forth in the house with his hands in his hands, anxious like ants on a hot pot.

"Jia Gong!" Zhang Xiu stopped and said to Jia Xu: "You have something to say!" ”

"Say what?" Jia Xu asked.

"Cao Cao's personal expedition, is it possible that you are not in a hurry at all?" Zhang Xiu said: "Don't forget, we killed his son......"

"The battlefield conquest sword has no eyes." Jia Xu said: "Even the son of the Cao family can't guarantee that there will be no mistakes on the battlefield. ”

"But this time Cao Cao is a pro-conscription!" Zhang Xiu said: "Wancheng has long been burned by Cao Zirong, although the county is stable, after all, it is a small city. I heard that Sun Bofu occupied Anhui City and could march to Jingzhou at any time, Liu Jingsheng couldn't take care of himself, how could he have the leisure to take care of us? ”

"A few days ago, the general recruited a lot of soldiers and horses." Jia Xu said: "Now that the number of people in the army has reached 20,000, is it possible that they can't even defend a county?" ”

"Jia Gong, don't mention those soldiers!" Zhang Xiu said: "I can't get angry when I mention them. Where they are soldiers, they are simply a bunch of farmers! ”

"They were originally farmers, and the general put clothes and armor on them, and then they became soldiers!" Jia Xu smiled slightly: "Since the general doesn't think that he can repel Cao Cao, then surrender to him!" ”

"Surrender?" Zhang Xiu waved his hand again and again: "If I put down my weapon, Cao Cao will definitely cut off my head to pay tribute to Cao Ang." ”

"Now that the general knows this, what else is there to worry about!" Jia Xu said: "Death horizontally and vertically, make some deployments now, maybe you can still live, what's the use of being in a hurry?" ”

"Jia Gong has an idea?" Zhang Xiu asked.

"Please send an envoy to Hebei and promise Yuan Shao that if he sends troops, the general will be attached to him." Jia Xu said: "In this way, even if Yuan Shao refuses to send troops, those under his command will think of sending troops to help." ”

Zhang Xiu didn't say anything more.

He frowned and thought for a while and said, "In this case, do we really want to vote for Yuan Shao?" ”

"Yuan Shao won't send troops at all!" Jia Xu said: "The general doesn't need to fulfill his promise!" ”

"Since you know that he is unwilling to send troops, what are you doing when you send an envoy to Hebei?" Zhang Xiu asked.

"Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zan are having a lively fight, so he refuses to turn against Cao Cao too early." Jia Xu said: "Although Cao Yuan will have a battle sooner or later, it is not now. The general sent people to Hebei, just to find a reason, and then to falsely spread the news that Yuan Shao was going to send troops. ”

As soon as Jia Xu explained this, Zhang Xiu suddenly understood.

He said with a sudden face: "Jia Gong's strategy, it turned out to be here!" ”

Smiling slightly, Jia Xu continued: "Does the general know how Cao Cao deployed?" ”

"Xiahou is the pioneer and is heading to Sui County." Zhang Xiu said: "Cao Zirong also led troops out of the city......"

"Needless to say, I also know that Xiahou is coming to Sui County." Jia Xu said: "Has the general ever thought about what Cao Zirong is going to do? ”

Zhang Xiu frowned, staring at Jia Xu without saying a word.

Cao Shuo's intention couldn't be more obvious, he just wanted to be sandwiched between Wanxian and Wancheng, and cut off the grain and grass sent to Suixian from all over the country.

Zhang Xiu did not answer, but asked Jia Xu rhetorically: "What is Jia Gong's intention when he asks this?" ”

"The key to this battle is not in Xiahou, nor in Cao Cao." Jia Xu said: "Whether you can win or not, the key is Cao Zirong!" ”

Zhang Xiu didn't understand too much, and looked at Jia Xu without saying a word.

Jia Xu continued: "Cao Zirong has a firm foothold, and the general can only defend the county. Cao's army is elite, but our army is all newly recruited farmers, where will it be their opponent? ”

"Does Jia Gong have any plans?" Zhang Xiu asked.

"Defeat Cao Zirong." Jia Xu said: "As long as he is broken, the county will be worry-free, and the general will also be worry-free!" ”

"Cao Zirong's subordinates are all veterans!" Zhang Xiu said: "Not to mention his immortal camp, even ordinary soldiers have been on the battlefield, and he must have been training all the time in recent months." Breaking Cao Zirong is more difficult than breaking Cao Cao! ”

"Before he fought, the general had no confidence!" Jia Xu smiled and said: "According to my strategy, Cao Zi will be broken!" ”

"What is the method of Jia Gong?" Zhang Xiu asked.

"The general is here!" Jia Xu said.

Zhang Xiu came to his side, and Jia Xu whispered something.

"Does this really work?" Zhang Xiu asked.

"Absolutely!" Jia Xu said: "Even if he can't break Cao Zirong's army, his immortal camp will be gone!" ”

Zhang Xiu thought for a moment: "Just rely on Jia Gong." ”

Zhang Xiu and Jia Xu were plotting in the county, and Cao Shuo led the army to bypass the county a few days later.

The first snow that falls in late autumn doesn't accumulate at all.

On the third day after leaving Xudu, the snow had completely melted, and after a few days of travel, the roads were dry, but the temperature was slightly cooler than before the snow fell.

"Childe." As he was advancing, Sima Yi said, "If you go a little further, you will be able to set up camp." ”

"How far is this from the county?" Cao Shuo asked.

"Forty or fifty miles." Glancing back, Sima Yi said.

"You can't set up camp yet." Cao Shuo said: "The closer we are to Sui County, the greater the variables. At least a hundred miles away from them. ”

Sima Yi didn't say anything more.

Pang Tong reminded: "Childe, do you think it's strange? ”

"Strange?" Cao Shuo asked, "What's strange?" ”

"We have bypassed the county, and it is impossible for Zhang Xiu not to send scouts to find out the news." Pang Tong said: "But he didn't move at all, doesn't Gongzi think it's strange?" ”

"Nothing surprising." Cao Shuo said with a smile: "That's how the war goes, each other is digging a pit for each other, and Zhang Xiu is just digging a pit for me." ”

"Childe knows what he wants to do?" Pang Tong asked.

"Didn't Shi Yuan see what he wanted to do?" Cao Shuo asked with a smile.

Pang Tong grinned.

Cao Shuo said: "Why don't we write our own opinions in the palm of our hands and see if the guesses are the same." (To be continued.)
