Yuan Shu looked sideways and asked: "Brother Yi, this time our army is divided, why don't you personally lead the troops as the vanguard?" ”

"Tao Qian is treacherous, our coalition army is fighting this battle to attack the fortification, but Tao Qian sent 3,000 cavalry, and the rest are the elite of Xuzhou, his purpose in doing this is not to break the enemy, but to show his strength to the lord, the strength of being equal to the lord, and the strength of our army as allies rather than subordinates." The young man replied.

Yuan Shu was furious when he heard this, and just as he was about to attack, he saw the young man raise his hand and suppress it, and said: "Cao Mengde, the outstanding people, and the strategists under his command are all wise men, and they will definitely make a decision to break Tao Qian first." ”

"It's a good plan for two tigers to compete with each other, and our army only needs to wait and see what happens, and then we can reap the benefits of the fisherman." Yuan Shu laughed angrily, and said: "With a righteous brother to help me, why worry about the hegemony, Tao Qian's move can be described as stealing chickens and rice." ”

Although Yuan Shu was angry with Tao Qian in his heart, he knew better that the princes of the world were divided, and his biggest opponent was Yuan Shao in Jizhou, and Tao Qian occupied Xuzhou, which could only be used as a help, not as an enemy, if he was strong, Tao Qian would definitely fall to Yuan Shao's camp.

"Our army is divided into 15,000 soldiers as the vanguard, and it is a suspicious plan to stay in front of them." The young man said again: "Lord, at this moment, our army should slowly approach the county, the soldiers are fast, and when our army arrives, they will already be defeated." ”

"Good." Yuan Shu was overjoyed and gave the order decisively.

……

……

Two days later, the county realm - one - this - read - the novel {y}{b}{d}{u}.

Cao Cao and others gathered on the valley, everyone knew that this place was the best place to set up an ambush, the breeze was blowing, Cao Cao rode his horse, and said: "There are masters under the Yuan Shu tent, the vanguard is fast and Chen stays as a conspiracy, and the army is slowly approaching for Yangmou, this person is a plan, the combination of yin and yang, not to be underestimated, the choice of our army, not much." ”

Cao Cao is really powerful, but he is a monarch, and he somewhat ignores his attributes of generals and strategists, if you talk about leading troops, Cao Cao is better than all the generals under his account, and if you talk about strategy, he is no worse than the five strategists under his command.

Cao Cao's art of war is worth mentioning, he once annotated "Sun Tzu's Art of War", and wrote a military book, called "Mengde New Book", this military book was not burned by Cao Cao himself, but it was destroyed when it reached the Tang Dynasty.

"Two days, it's hard to grasp the proportion." Guo Jia smiled indifferently and looked sideways at Xun You, and so did Cao Cao.

Xun You, who was on his side, glanced at the two of them, and said softly: "You have three strategies, the upper strategy is to lure the enemy army here, annihilate the main force of the enemy, the middle strategy is to feign defeat and retreat, lure the enemy deep, and wait for the enemy to win, and the next strategy is to go, retreat and stay." ”

The three of them are all masters of tactics, and the current situation is that Tao Qian's army is close at hand, and Yuan Shu's army still has two days to reach Qiaojun, and the three of them all know that even if they fight with Tao Qian's army, it will be a big defeat, after all, there is still a Yuan Shu on the side.

Guo Jia wanted to laugh, he felt that Xun You was quite interesting, he and Cao Cao asked him how to fight this battle, he had to give you an answer to the upper, middle and lower three strategies, and then put his playing style in the upper strategy and told Cao Cao.

In fact, the so-called upper, middle and lower three strategies are completely the self-preservation of the strategists, and they all know that the best strategies are good.

This middle and lower strategy is for the lord to choose, in fact, it is to save face for the lord.

The second point is also a move of self-preservation, if you use the best strategy to defeat, the strategist will shirk it, and my middle and lower two strategies are also quite good, hehe.

"The key is a lure word, the bait is big and the meat hurts, the bait is small and the fish is small, and Cao is in a dilemma." Cao Cao led everyone to gather in the valley, in fact, he had already decided to ambush the enemy here, he and Guo Jia, Xun You all knew it in their hearts, but they couldn't think of a good way to lure the enemy here.

After Cao Cao spoke, the three of them were silent, bowing their heads and pondering.

Guo Jia quickly thought about the response plan at this moment in his mind, and suddenly had an idea, and he thought about it, the thousands of years of tactical methods in his mind were not covered.

Guo Jia asked: "If it is a military fight, how many people can Meng De oppose?" ”

Cao Cao looked sideways and said: "With the horse lance in hand, thirty or fifty people, Cao is not afraid!" ”

Guo Jia said again: "Do you dare to ride with me in the midst of ten thousand armies?" ”

Cao Cao looked up to the sky and laughed, "Good plan!" Filial piety is like a ghost, if this battle is won, we will be famous in history! ”

Xun Yu wanted to speak and stopped, knowing in his heart that it was imminent at this moment, if he couldn't win by surprise, even if he retreated, the odds of winning were not high, so it was better to give it a go.

"The people will listen to the command! Ambushed on both sides of the valley, a certain and Fengxiao led the enemy army here and annihilated the enemy in one fell swoop! Cao Cao snorted, said that, rode his horse, and rode in the lead.

Guo Jia took the bow, held dozens of quivers, and followed.

Guo Jia and Cao Cao both knew in their hearts that if they killed 1,000 enemies, they would lose 800 themselves, and Cao Cao only had 8,000 soldiers under his command, even if they had exchanged two casualties and destroyed the enemy's army, it was useless.

The only way to win by surprise and try to save the soldiers under his command is to break the enemy army, so the three tacticians all think that an ambush should be set up.

If there are fewer soldiers sent to lure the enemy, it will not be able to draw out the main force of Tao Qian's army.

And although Guo Jia's plan is nine deaths and one life, it is the best policy at this moment.

After a short time, the two rode side by side to the outside of Tao Qian's camp.

"Mengde, the enemy commander will be your own family, one straw bale." Guo Jia immediately changed his words after seeing Cao Cao's resentful eyes: "Cao Bao, Cao Bao." ”

Cao Cao immediately shouted: "Rats Cao Bao, a certain Cao Cao, Cao Mengde, dare to fight with me for three hundred rounds!" ”

There was a period of harassment in Cao Bao's army, and they all looked at each other.

Guo Jia also shouted: "Xuzhou rats, a certain is Guo Jia, Guo Fengxiao, and so on, although there are tens of thousands of people, they are like ants in a certain eye, talking and laughing, and they are gone!" ”

The two looked at each other and smiled, and instantly turned on the taunt mode to face the enemy camp mouth like a river, gushing endlessly, spraying endlessly.

In Cao Bao's camp, there was no general order, and the soldiers did not dare to move, and after a while, the main general Cao Bao went to the front of the camp, looked up, and saw that there were two people scolding outside the camp, and there was no large army pressing the formation several miles away.

"Who are these two?" Cao Bao asked calmly, he is not stupid, although he is scolded, he will not rush up like crazy and fight hard.

The general arched his hand and said: "The one in armor is Cao Cao, Cao Mengde, and the one in green shirt is Guo Jia and Guo Fengxiao." ”

"What did you say!" Cao Bao was shocked, looked at it, and saw that Cao Cao and Guo Jia were like shrews, how could he believe it in his heart.

"The last general has had several encounters with Cao Cao, and it must be this person." The general raised his head and looked outside the camp, and said: "Although the last general and Guo Jia have never met, Cao Cao is here, and he is not far away." ”

Cao Bao suddenly wandered around the camp, with mixed feelings in his heart, he knew that these two people, one was Cao Mengde, the number one thug of the safflower double stick under Yuan Shao, and the other was Guo Fengxiao, who was famous in the world and resourceful.
