Cao Zhang sat back in the handsome seat and smiled at the three of them: "Yanyun guessed very accurately, this is already the best policy, because he can't stop Zhang Yan in the mountains and forests, so he will inevitably transfer back to the three counties to guard Huguan before Zhang Yan's soldiers come to the city, and then send troops to the three counties himself, so that Zhang Yan can't trap Gao Gan in Huguan, and he has also reached a position where he can attack and retreat, at this time he is in Sanxian, if I take the mountain road to avoid him, he will send troops to Jizhou, if I go head-to-head with him, it will be in his arms, He is in the county, I am outside the county, there is no geographical advantage, he wants to force me to fight quickly, I can only fight hard, in the final analysis, whether I am hiding or fighting, it is already in his calculations, Yanyun said that he is arrogant, not bad, but he has this capital.

Chen Zhi asked, "Why did the lord conclude that the senior cadres would be guarding in the three counties, instead of Huguan?" After all, these are also Yanyun's guesses. ”

Cao Zhang smiled and replied: "Because I figured out one thing just now, the general order from my father is to ask me to complete the task of entering Huguan before April 20, and I must block Gao Gan in Huguan, so that he cannot send troops to aid Yuan Shao, the three of them think about it, Gao Gan was transferred back to the three counties of the sergeant to guard Huguan, and he abandoned the people who rebelled against the imperial court from Yangping County and Bingzhou, and came out to duel with me in a hurry, even if he did his best, how many people could there be?" ”

Wang Ling replied: "Gao Gan Ren and the Prefecture Assassin Shi formed ten battalions, with a total of 20,000 elite soldiers. ”

Cao Zhang said with a smile: "That's right, 20,000 elite soldiers against my 5,000 sergeants, he thought he would win, so he sent troops, and he sent troops before Zhang Yan pressed Huguan, stuck between my father, between Zhang Yan and me, the purpose is to force me to fight, otherwise I will send troops to aid Yuan Shao, flanking my father, there are 20,000 high-ranking soldiers to go to Jizhou, Yuan Shao must have the courage, when my father counterattacked Yecheng from the Guantao Road, Yuan Shao will inevitably send troops at the same time as Gao Gan, and give my father a counterattack, instead of staying in Yecheng." ”

Xiahou Heng was surprised: "Could it be that the general means to let Gao Gan send troops to Jizhou, earn Yuan Shao to send troops together, and then fight with them?" ”

Chen Zhi said with a puzzled face: "In that case, how can the general let us block Gao Gan in the Huguan?" ”

Cao Zhang said with a smile: "It's very simple, my father is asking us to force Huguan before April 20, yes, it's not bad for us to block Gao Gan in Huguan, but if Gao Gan has come out, we still have to complete the task of these two people, we have to change it, not to block Gao Gan in Huguan, but to beat him back to Huguan." ”

Wang Lingqi said: "What do you mean by the third prince??" ”

Cao Zhang said with a smile: "Let the five thousand people change into the armor, beat my banner and force Huguan, join forces with Zhang Yan, rebuild the siege machinery, and have a strong offensive posture, Gao Gan will definitely think that I am going to attack Huguan, he will go to Jizhou to attack my father, and our five thousand sergeants put on the clothes of the people, grasp the whereabouts of Gao Gan, follow them, attack them at night on their way to Jizhou, let them roll back to Huguan, and inform Zhang Yan to occupy the three counties, and then ambush the sergeants in the valley, although there are three county sergeants and the rebels who retreated from Yangping to respond, We may not be able to wipe out all the high-level cadres, but even if he and them return to Huguan, I am afraid that they will not dare to come out again. ”

Xiahou Heng praised: "Brilliant plan! Gao Gan will inevitably rush with all his strength without worry, he would never have thought that someone would secretly pursue them, as long as we kill them back to Huguan, and then pretend to be Gao Gan's troops to continue to Jizhou, Yuan Shao will inevitably send troops to echo, and then Yuan Shao will taste the bitter fruit again. ”

Chen Zhi also smiled: "Yes, we don't need to join Yuan Shao at all, just go directly to the place where the general is stationed!" Yuan Shao naturally followed, my lord, this strategy is really clever! ”

Cao Zhang smiled: "This is not my strategy, but my father's instructions, he asked me to advance on April 20 to force the pot pass, and I want to block Gao Gan, be sure not to let him go to Jizhou, but how to act did not mention a word, Yanyun said that after Gao Gan's heart and style of action, I found that my father's general order was inconsistent, and the language was unknown, obviously I wanted to find my own way, if the words written in the letter to confuse the enemy were intercepted, they would be used, my father acted very cautiously, and never wrote the strategy in the letter, But Mr. Fengxiao is a heart-to-heart war everyone, and the enemy is like a god, and Gao Gan will be an exception? That's why I thought that my father said that April 20 was pressing Huguan in order to confuse the enemy, because he went to attack Guantao to confuse the enemy, and in the end he still had to fight back at Yecheng, but it was impossible for Yuan Shao not to know that Guantao returned to Yecheng, this was a conspiracy at all, not a conspiracy, but without a high-level army, how could Yuan Shao dare to go out of the city and fight with his father? Since my father wants to use Yang conspiracy, I can only use conspiracy, after intercepting Gao Gan, disguise his vanguard to attack my father, Yuan Shao sent troops to echo and only kill myself, so I completed the general order to enter Huguan and block Gao Gan on April 20. ”

The servants were greatly impressed after listening to it, obviously Cao Cao Guo Jia and Cao Zhang's Jiuqu ileum was not something they could guess, this is Guo Jia's tacit understanding of giving lectures to Cao Zhang, and it is the tacit understanding between Cao Zhang and Cao Cao's father and son.

Cao Zhang didn't quite understand it at first, but when it came to the first discussion, he understood the far-reaching plan of Cao Cao and Guo Jia, they expected that Yuan Shao was now in a slump but wanted to reverse the mentality, and also expected Gao Gan's arrogant mind, so he issued such a contradictory general order, let Cao Zhang figure it out for himself, Cao Zhang ignored that Wang Ling was from Bingzhou, but Guo Jia, who must have had no last resort, did not ignore it, so he knew that Wang Ling would inform Cao Zhang's high-ranking character, let Cao Zhang understand the intention behind this letter, and confirm what Wang Ling saidCao Zhang only needs to be doing one thing to know whether Gao Gan's actions and the meaning behind the letter are correct.

That is, send people to directly let the people kill from the mountain road to the city of Huguan, and then hide in the mountains with the sergeants, and then send Xizuo to observe from a distance whether there are well-equipped troops in the three counties, so that you can know whether the senior cadres are stationed in the county seat of one of the three counties as Wang Ling expected.

If there is, then act according to the plan, if not, he can directly take the sergeant to kill under the Huguan, but Cao Zhang knows that Wang Ling's guess is not far from ten, after all, this is the best countermeasure, Wang Ling can guess, Guo Jia must also be able to guess, so Guo Jia asked Cao Cao to write such a letter to him, which is a dumb riddle from Guo Jia's teacher.

Guo Jia has always liked to let Cao Zhang draw inferences from Cao Cao and understand more, which is also a game that master and apprentice often play, Cao Zhang understands Guo Jia's temperament too well.

So Cao Zhang said to Wang Ling: "Yanyun, order the 4,000 people left behind to make the illusion that 8,000 people are left behind, and then take 5,000 people to change into Zajia and the rest of the people to go to Huguan and Zhang Yan under my banner, I will send someone to inform you of the time to occupy the three counties and ambush the mountains and forests, and then I will hide in the mountains with Shu Zhi and Boquan with 5,000 soldiers, and you can leave us with easy to carry water and food!" ”

Wang Ling replied: "No! ”

Cao Zhang continued: "Boquan, immediately after entering the mountain, send people to the three counties to observe whether there are elite soldiers, remember to send dead soldiers, if they are discovered, don't come back alive, no matter whether there is a result or not, you must return to the army within five days." ”

Xiahou Heng replied: "No! ”

After Cao Zhang issued the order, he secretly said in his heart: "When the chess pieces are placed, it depends on whether you move right!" ”
