Chapter 140: Chasing the Central Plains

Chen stayed in the city, Cao Cao ordered the wounded soldiers to go to the city's medical hall to heal, he led everyone to the city, and saw that Yuan Shu's army had slowly retreated, and did not take advantage of the situation to attack the city.

Cao Cao stared into the distance and asked, "Zixiao, Wen Ruo, what are the casualties of the defenders in the city?" What about enemy casualties? How much grain and grass is left in the city? What is the morale of the soldiers in the city? What is the sentiment of the people? ”

"Yuan Shu's army attacked for a few days, suffered heavy casualties, and then stopped the strong attack, and our army now has 7,000 remaining soldiers, including 3,000 elites, 4,000 young and strong, and 4,000 young and strong killed in battle." Cao Ren arched his hand and said: "Yuan Shujun's combat strength is low, with nearly 10,000 dead and wounded. ”

"Okay, worthy of being my brother." Cao Cao stroked his palms and laughed, then turned around and patted Cao Ren's shoulder, his eyes full of relief and trust.

Cao Ren's eyes were hot, and he seemed a little overwhelmed, maybe he would always be the little brother of the flying eagle lackey who followed Cao Cao in front of Cao Cao.

Xun Yu arched his hand and said: "The grain and grass in the city can support for three months, our army has suffered heavy casualties, and the soldiers defending the city are afraid that Yuan Shu is transferring reinforcements from Runan, and the morale is low, and the people are frightened and at a loss. ”

Everyone knows that although Cao Cao is helping Yuan Shao to defend the south of Jizhou, but at this moment Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zhan are fighting fiercely, and I am afraid that it will be difficult to distinguish the winner within three months, so naturally there is no time to send troops to rescue.

Cao Cao bowed his head, was silent for a long time, and said: "Fengxiao, Gongda, if the whole city is poured into the army and goes out of the city to fight to the death with Yuan Shu's army, how many soldiers will be left in our army?" ”

If Cao's army goes out of the city to fight with Yuan Shu, the outcome is not yet known, but Cao Cao is even more afraid of fighting out the Chen Liu's garrison, even if Yuan Shu is defeated, Yuan Shu can also raise the Runan army, at that time, Chen Liu is also in danger.

"Pour out of the nest and break the enemy in one battle!" Guo Jia said again: "Abandon Chen Liu, lead Yanzhou, and become a hegemon!" ”

Everyone was shocked and looked sideways at Guo Jia.

"The Qingzhou Yellow Turban has risen, and it will attack Yanzhou in the future, Yanzhou Mu Liu Dai is mediocre, and he will not be able to pass, and he will die with the hands of the Yellow Turban!" Guo Jia ignored everyone's surprised gazes, and said: "Yanzhou is really controlled by the family lords, the squires and wealthy families, and the main force in Yanzhou to resist the Yellow Turban Army is the private soldiers of these families.

Everyone has selfish intentions, if the yellow turban comes to attack, those family gate lords will definitely try their best to preserve their own strength, and Liu Dai is mediocre, and he is even more incapable of commanding the private soldiers of these family gate valves, how can he be undefeated?

When Liu Dai died, the dragons of Yanzhou were leaderless, and they were like scattered sand, and there was no supernatural master who could turn the tide in the Yanzhou family, and at that time, the Yanzhou family would definitely ask Yuan Shao for help.

And at this moment, Yuan Shao can't even rush to the aid of Chen Liu, our army, how can he send troops to suppress the thieves?

If our army breaks Yuan's technique, it can prove the strength of our army to the Yanzhou family and Yuan Shao, and at that time, whether it is Yuan Shao or the Yanzhou family, they will support our army to enter Yanzhou.

To break the yellow scarf, the hegemony can be achieved! ”

Everyone was still in shock, and suddenly the enemy army under the city flew out several horses, and quickly rode to the city and shouted: "My lord asked Cao Mengde and Guo Fengxiao to go down to the city to get together!" ”

Cao Cao laughed loudly: "Lure me and others out of the city, and wait for the situation to cover up and kill, why don't you take Chen Liu, go back and tell Yuan Highway, don't be delusional." ”

The enemy soldier shouted again: "My lord is afraid that the Ming Gong is suspicious, and the armies of both sides are two miles away, and they all bring five guards to meet in the array. ”

Cao Cao frowned slightly, he knew that this was Yuan Shu's trick, but he couldn't guess what Yuan Shu wanted to use for a while.

"Promise him." Guo Jia was resolute, and then smiled faintly.

"Okay, two moments later, Cao will go to the appointment." Cao Cao replied loudly, looked sideways at Guo Jia again, and asked softly, "Does Feng Xiao know about Yuan's tricks?" What can I do? ”

Guo Jia saw that the enemy army under the city turned around and left, and said with a smile: "Have you forgotten Meng De, Lu Bu is also in Yuan Shu's army." ”

After Guo Jia's reminder, Cao Cao smiled slightly and said: "Yuan Highway wants to stab us, carving insects, but he dares to use it to offer ugliness." ”

"Feng Xiao is to be the way of others, and to govern others?" Cao Cao frowned slightly, and sighed lightly: "Fengxiao, the generals of our army are all seriously injured, and I am afraid that I will not be able to fight ......."

"It doesn't matter." Guo Jia waved his hand to interrupt Cao Cao, and said: "Lu Bu is also seriously injured, not to mention that our army still has Zixiao here, Yuan Shu secretly Chen Cang, and our army will be anti-guest." With that, Guo Jia put his hands on the city wall and stared at Yuan Shujun's camp.

"Brilliant plan!" Xun Yu arched his hand, walked quickly to Cao Cao's side and said softly: "Yuan Shu wants to kill the lord, the army will be defenseless, if our army pours out, it can attack it unprepared." ”

Xun You said again: "Our army needs to be divided into three routes, widely distributed with suspicious soldiers, two routes of troops for the defense of the city of young and strong, bluff to lure the main force of the enemy, all the way to the elite of the city, long drive straight in, straight to the Yellow Dragon." ”

Cao Cao said: "Leave the empty city in vain, I am afraid that Yuan Shu will fight back, if the return route of our army is cut off, the army will die in an instant." ”

Guo Jia smiled faintly and said softly: "It's okay, I have 3,000 soldiers, blocking Gongsun Zhan's 100,000 army, and he Yuan Shu will not dare to attack." ”

"That being the case, I have made up my mind, the soldiers are divided into three ways, I led two thousand young people, went out of the west gate, bluffed, and made a strong attack on Yuan Shu's army grain and grass, Zhongde and Gongda led two thousand young people, out of the east gate, bluffed, and lured Yuan Shu's army." Cao Cao paused for a moment, then faced Guo Jia and said: "Fengxiao, when it comes to fighting soldiers, no one can beat it, and the elite in the city will be led by you." ”

Guo Jia looked at Cao Cao's sincere eyes, with mixed feelings in his heart, and nodded lightly.

Cao Cao looked around, bowed in all directions, and said: "All the soldiers, the success or failure of our army, in one fell swoop, I hope that all the soldiers will fight bravely to kill the enemy!" ”

After that, Cao Cao ordered all the soldiers to gather their troops and horses, and he selected four generals with strong martial arts to go out of the city with Guo Jia and Cao Ren.

After a while, the three armies were ready, Chen Liu's south gate was opened, Cao Cao was the leader, Guo Jia, Cao Ren was beside him, and four fierce generals behind him, a line of seven people, rushed to Yuan Shu's army.

Behind Cao Cao and others, there are 3,000 elites in Chen Liucheng, 2,000 young men at the west gate and 2,000 young people at the east gate.

Guo Jia looked around, and saw that Yuan Shujun had six people riding horses and two miles in front of the formation, and the leader of them may be Yuan Shu, but Guo Jia had never seen Yuan Shu and did not dare to confirm it.

Cao Cao suddenly asked: "Our army leads Yanzhou, and Fengxiao has several layers of certainty, besides...... That Liu Daigui is the pastor of a state, how can he die easily. ”

Guo Jiadao: "Liu Dai lives and dies, I have my own arrangements, and when Yanzhou is taken, it is the beginning of our army's competition for the world......"

Cao Cao said again: "When Tao Qian was broken, a certain person once said arrogantly that he wanted to chase the Central Plains, but he didn't expect that this day would come so quickly. ”

"I am a small mortal, but my heart is also to the sky." Guo Jia looked up to the sky and sighed lightly, his expression was dazed, and he said: "Princes and generals, would you rather have a kind?" ”

Cao Cao was slightly stunned, his expression seemed abrupt, and he couldn't speak to himself for a long time.

Guo Jia raised his whip and pointed at the sky, and the three thousand soldiers behind him stopped instantly, Guo Jia said: "Mengde, Yuan Highway is ahead, I will wait for Yuan Shu to wait in a hurry." ”

Cao Cao smiled slowly: "Okay, let's go and see what means Yuan Highway has." With that, Cao Cao knocked the horse's belly lightly and led everyone forward.
