125 Heavy responsibility
(^_^ Ask for Sanjiang tickets, collect, recommend, and raise)
After Cao Zhang received the three scouts given by Cao Cao, he did not let them explore the so-called granary, because Cao Chang was sure that the granary was in the black nest, although he planned to suppress the Shi clan and killed Liu Bei, history would change, but these had nothing to do with Yuan Shao's hoarding of grain and grass in the black nest.

So after getting those three scouts, Cao Zhang and the others went together to draw a topographical map of the Wuchao with the people of Yanjin, and told them to be as accurate as possible.
In the next 20 days, Cao's army was mainly anti-guest, stealing grain roads, and feints, which made Yuan's army tired of coping, and in addition to shooting arrows at Cao's camp every day, he was no longer able to organize a large-scale attack.
After the thunderbolt was built, more than 30 thunderbolts advanced into Cao Ying, and the stones flew like raindrops towards Yuan's arrow tower and the turret, and with each launch, the force of the rope and lever of the thunderbolt would make a loud sound, and the sound was very amazing.
Within a day, all the arrow towers and turrets erected by Yuan's army were destroyed, and from this day on, Yuan's army and Cao's army began a long stalemate.
In the days that followed, Yuan Jun and Cao Jun did not have large-scale military operations except for some small fights on both sides of the strait, and it seemed that there was no way to take each other, Cao Ren and Xu Huang returned to the camp with Xiongnu archers and cavalry in early April of the fifth year of Jian'an, and they only burned 500 grain wagons and did not build again, because Yuan Jun had already sent a heavy army to protect the grain.
And in mid-April, a news reached Cao Ying, and a piece of the world was laid down in Jiangdong, and the famous Sun Ce died, at the hands of the young son of Xu Gong, the former Taishou of Wu County, and his disciples, and the cause of death was because he was attacked by a sneak attack.
Sun Ce used his death to interpret Guo Jia's sentence: 'Light and unprepared, although there are millions of people, it is tantamount to walking alone in the Central Plains, and will die at the hands of the horseman's speculation', this year, Sun Ce was only twenty-six years old.
After hearing the news, everyone's admiration for Guo Jia, a ghost talent, has reached the extreme, and there is no one else except Cao Jun's chief strategist.
But even the chief strategist couldn't figure out why Cao Zhangdare was so sure that he could find out where Yuan Jun's grain was stored.
One day in mid-July, when Cao Zhang asked Guo Jia about the candidate for the raid on the granary, Guo Jia finally expressed the doubts in his heart: "Jia thinks that he has a lot of experience in figuring out people's hearts, but he can't figure out where Yuan Shao is stockpiling grain, why is the third prince so sure?" Although the third prince does things without a trace, but he does not do things that he is not sure of, so it seems that the third prince does master the place where Yuan Jun has stored grain, and Jia wants to ask why the third prince can be so sure? ”
Cao Zhang smiled and said: "Mr. and Zhang have a master-apprentice relationship, and they are the elders who give Zhangguan Ceremony, since they should tell the truth, this matter is unbelievable, Mr. Don't be too surprised when you hear it." ”
Guo Jia said: "I would like to hear about it. ”
Cao Zhang said: "It was my witch Ji Yue who told me. ”
Guo Jia was surprised: "What? ”
Cao Zhang said: "In the past, Mr. asked me and my brother to raid the dog shooting, Ji Yue's mother said to the dog, the white rabbit is the word white rabbit, the rabbit was surprised when it met the dog, so the dog shot the dog and his name conflicted, staying here is very ominous, and then the dog was indeed killed by me and my brother in the shooting dog, before leaving, I asked Ji Yue to calculate the place where the grain was stored, she said that it was a place called Guandu near Yanjin, so Zhang was very sure that it was there. ”
Guo Jia sighed: "Such nonsense, the third prince will actually believe it!" ”
Cao Zhang said with a smile: "Don't underestimate the witches, they have been communicating with heaven and earth since they were children, although most of them are pretending to be gods and ghosts, but occasionally on a whim, they are very accurate!" Sir, don't make a noise about this, or someone will say that I disturb the morale of the army! ”
Guo Jia sighed: "I always thought that the third prince was wise, but I didn't expect that there would be times when I was confused!" At this time, Jia will not say much, I wish the third prince all his wishes come true. As for the candidates for the raid, Zhang Wenyuan is up to the task, Shi Jian and the third prince have also crossed paths before, and his subordinates and the third prince must cooperate much better than others. ”
Cao Zhang smiled: "Thank you, sir!" ”
Guo Jia sighed, said goodbye and left, obviously he was not optimistic about Cao Zhang, this reason was too weird, but even if Cao Zhang said that he was crossing the crowd, he was afraid that it would be the same weird, and he would have to spend a lot of time, it was really unnecessary.
Cao Zhang didn't care, the result would prove that he was right, so he asked people to bring up the drawn topographic map of Yanjin, according to those people, there are seven routes to the black nest, three of which are very secretive, and basically not walked, they are all roads that some hunters will take.
The reason why Wuchao got its name is because there is a water pool called Wuchaoze, which just meets the supply of water, and Wuchao is only forty miles away from Yuan's army camp, so Cao Zhang is very sure that Yuan's army must be there to store grain! After marking the location of the grain, Cao Zhang showed the drawings to Cao Cao, and asked for orders to attack the black nest.
Cao Cao is a master of the art of war, after seeing the terrain of Wuchao and the distance from the Yuan army's camp, he immediately thought that this place was likely to be the granary of the Yuan army, and he was immediately very excited, but he and Cao Zhang had the same idea, if you want to burn grain, you must wait until the dry autumn! Now there are still two and a half months before the golden autumn of October, and it is time to send people to secretly mobilize flammable materials such as hay and sulfur anointing oil.
Cao Zhang immediately recommended Shi Lian, at this time Shi Lian had been promoted to the lieutenant of the Chinese Military Academy, in charge of the four thousand halberd soldiers under the command of the two battalion governors, Cao Cao governed the army well, and knew the officials at the battalion governor level of his main army, not to mention that Shi Lian's position was already higher than that of the battalion governor, so Cao Cao also thought that this person was competent, and immediately called someone to call him in and secretly pass on the general's order.
After Shi Jian left, Cao Cao smiled at Cao Zhang: "My son is indeed a military wizard, I can guess you in such places!" Wu Chaoze's father also passed by, but he never noticed! ”
Cao Zhang's humility said: "Father, our army has been fighting with Yuan Shao for a long time, it shouldn't be a problem to imitate his banner, we can follow the banner to go to Wuchao to raid, so it will be more miraculous!" ”
Cao Cao smiled: "That's right! ”
Cao Zhang continued: "Raiding the enemy camp requires brave people to be the vanguard, and General Zhang Liao is extremely brave and can take on a great responsibility!" ”
Cao Cao was greatly relieved when he heard this, and said: "Ziwen now has the ability to know people, since this is the case, for his father, he will allocate 800 tigers and leopards to ride and 4,000 halberds under Shi Lian's command Yu Ru, and then order Wenyuan to be your vanguard, and in October, Ziwen will lead the army to break the black nest granary!" Yuan Shao knew that the granary was attacked, and he would definitely wave his army to attack the camp, so his father needed to sit in the camp to defend against Yuan's attack. ”
Cao Zhang's heart suddenly became excited when he heard this, he planned wholeheartedly and asked Guo Jia for advice on employing people, just to make Cao Cao believe that he already had the ability to know people, so that he could burn grain alone, and now he got what he wanted, and his heart was naturally happy!
He saluted, "The child shall live up to his trust!" ”
