In the spring of the second year of Xingping, Cao Cao divided his troops to Cao Ren, and the two soldiers attacked Lü Bu in two ways, repeatedly using strange schemes, and the two armies used virtual and real to beat Lü Bu dizzy, and also recaptured the two important strongholds of Dongjun Juyang and Juye, which was the first major victory since Cao Cao and Lü Bu started the war.

Lu Bu couldn't hold his breath after eating, and immediately counterattacked after gathering troops with Chen Gong, but when they came to Juye, they saw Cao Cao's army fearless, lined up outside the camp, looking like a decisive battle, Lu Bu and Chen Gong were obviously scared by Cao Cao, so they chose to retreat, in fact, at this time, Juye only had a thousand people, and it was just Cao Cao's bluff to have no fear, because of Lu Bu and Chen Gong's retreat, they also missed the last chance to turn the tables.

The next day, when Lu Bu learned that the spies reported that Cao Cao was just a bluff, he was immediately annoyed and angry, so he immediately led the army to Juye, and saw that Cao Cao's army was still as fearless as yesterday, thinking that Cao Cao had set up an 'empty city plan' again, and waved his army to attack without saying a word, but at this time Cao Cao's army had arrived, and was waiting for Lu Bu to attack in ambush on all sides.

At this time, Lü Bu and Chen Gong had no confidence in defeating Cao Cao at all, and left Yanzhou with the remnants of their troops, and went to Liu Bei in Xuzhou.

Not because he is benevolent, but because he knows that Lu Bu is a restless lord, and putting Lu Bu in Xuzhou is a clever trick to lead the water to the east, and now there are remnants of Zhang Miao entrenched in Yanzhou Chen Liu, it is really not a good time to fight with Lu Bu, plus more than a year of war, Yanzhou is in ruins, at this time, it is necessary to annihilate Lu Bu by self-inflicted strength, and to keep Yanzhou's territory and prevent Liu Bei from picking up cheap, that is definitely to take care of his head.

"The difference between the hero and the bear is that the hero has a sense of the overall situation and knows how to make trade-offs, rather than blindly killing." On this day, after reading Cao Cao's family letter, Cao Zhang put it on the shore and said something to himself.

At this time, it was the early summer of the second year of Xingping, Cao Zhang was sitting in the study in a large mansion in Dongping County, which was the place where Cao Cao gave his wife and children a temporary residence, and now Cao Pi was obsessed with archery, and he took six guards to the outskirts of the city to shoot arrows, and returned to the city when it was almost dark.

Cao Zhang's family letter is not just a simple report of peace, but also a record of his strategy and gains and losses on the battlefield, although it is only a few sentences, but the situation on the battlefield, the quality of the strategy and the gains and losses after the war are clearly described, this kind of summary and induction of the writing ability is indeed superior.

Cao Cao is not only a poet, but also a master of war, he is the author of "Sun Tzu's Brief Explanation" and "Military Letters Receiving Essentials" two military books, so Cao Zhang also learned a lot from Cao Cao's family letters.

There was no one else in the study except Cao Zhang, because Cao Cao took the family to Xuzhou when he didn't bring a maid, and then came to Dongping County, and several Mrs. Cao only asked three maids from the Taishou family to take care of their daily life, Cao Pi and Cao Zhang were not young, so they only brought guards and did not take maids.

Only two of the six guards who followed Cao Zhang were guarding outside the study, and the other four were on standby in the barracks, and Cao Zhang would follow if necessary, when a subordinate walked in and said to Cao Zhang: "Third son, Mr. Mao Jue has arrived, is he still lecturing today?" ”

"Speak, of course! Please come to the study! Cao Zhang hurriedly said.

Mao Jie is one of Cao Cao's advisors, in Cao Cao's self-led Yanzhou pastor has been under Cao Cao's account, but has not been reused, in Dongping County received an idle position, since Cao Cao's family arrived in Dongping County he was ordered to teach Cao Pi and Cao Zhang to read and write, in Mao Jue's view this is a great opportunity for promotion, can help him quickly into Cao Cao's field of vision.

In Cao Zhang's impression, Mao Jue seems to be a very capable strategist, but he doesn't know how he has the ability, what is certain is that this guy can definitely be called backwards when he talks about books such as "The Book of Songs", "Chu Ci", "Sun Tzu's Art of War", and this person knows everything about the control military system in the late Han Dynasty, and what impresses Cao Zhang is that every time Cao Zhang gets Cao Cao's letter and reads the war situation to Mao Jue, this person can analyze the gains and losses clearly, so Cao Chang thinks that this seems to be only twenty-three, A four-year-old is indeed a talent.

Mao Jue went to the study under the leadership of his subordinates, and saw that there was only Cao Zhang in the study, and after saluting, he asked, "What do the third sons have to do today?" ”

It makes sense for him to ask, because every time he comes to teach, Cao Chang basically doesn't say a word when Cao Pi and Cao Chang are there, and lets him lecture, but since Cao Pi became obsessed with riding and archery, Cao Zhang is often taught alone, and he still remembers the first time Cao Zhang listened to the class alone and said to himself: "Sir, can you tell me about the official and military systems of the Han Dynasty?" ”

From that moment on, Mao Jue was secretly surprised, a five-year-old boy was actually interested in this thing? Seven-year-old Cao Pi likes to listen to "Chu Ci" and "Book of Songs", but whenever he talks about these, Cao Zhang will be interested, but that day when the two of them talk about the official system of the Han Dynasty, the third prince listens to it with relish, and often interjects to ask, up to the functions of the three princes, down to the state and county hundred officials, the details are asked clearly, and the military officials are asked from the commander to the general, Mao Jie has been sure from that day that the third prince will inevitably stand out among the sons of Cao Cao, this question is the foundation of governing the country, a five-year-old child is interested in this? What does that mean? Born to rule the world!

Later, something even more surprising happened to Mao Jue, in the absence of the second son Cao Pi, Cao Zhang repelled the guards, took out Cao Cao's family letter and read the beginning and end of Cao Cao's battle on the battlefield, and then began to ask him word by word, "If this was the case at that time, what should the details be?" After explaining, Cao Zhang began to ask about the gains and losses of this battle, such as how Cao Cao should deal with this small defeat in this battle, and whether he will be demoralized? How to resist Lu Bu's attack? Compared with Cao Cao's victory in this battle, should he take advantage of the victory to pursue, and for example, what is the benefit of recapturing Dongjun after occupying this place?

A series of questions asked Mao Jue sweaty, and he felt that he couldn't resist it, but Mao Jue was also a study tour, and he was also quite involved in the geography of various states, and he was familiar with military books, so he could also deal with the three sons like arrows, and at the same time answering the questions, Mao Jue secretly sighed, this third prince is really a prodigy, compared to the famous young Kong Rong, he is only afraid of it, and Kong Rong is rare and famous in the world, but the third prince has a soft spot for governing the country and marching to war.

After several separate teachings, Mao Jie is completely sure that this son will be a generation of Tianjiao who is both civil and military in time, and the text is not the literature of literary talent, but the literature of cultural governance and martial arts, so every time he sees Cao Pi not present, Mao Jie will first ask, "What does the third prince have today?" Because he knew that if he taught alone, the third prince would never be taught according to the routine.
