Chapter 101: Too Clever to Calculate (I)

Yanzhou Jibei is located in the northwest of Linzi, and Qingzhou Jinan is actually only separated by a dry Jishui ancient road. If Cao's army wants to attack Linzi, it will send troops from Jibei and go all the way to the east, but it is only two hundred miles, which is the territory of Linzi; If you make a detour to Jinan, it is just half a circle, not to mention the effort, and it is easy to be noticed; It's really not like the handiwork of Cao Cao, the master of the art of war. If it weren't for self-defense, no one would have thought of it.

Cao Ren Cheng Yu and Jibei Cao Chun, who led the troops this time, also thought so! In the eyes of the donor Cheng Yu, this strategy is simply seamless, God bless Cao Cao, God gives me a good opportunity, God helps me! Such a good opportunity is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

At the end of the Han Dynasty, there were frequent wars, Qingzhou was short of food, and the displaced people were everywhere, which was the most active time for the Yellow Turban activities in Qingzhou. At this time, it is undoubtedly an excellent opportunity to give eye medicine to Lu Bu, who has just entered Qingzhou and has no food source. If he is lucky, it is not impossible for Lu Bu to fall into the quagmire of war and chaos, and it is not impossible to gain a foothold in Qingzhou. In short, what the Cao Jun forces didn't get, even if you Lu Bu got it, you had to make him a hot potato.

What's more, there is news from the inner line of Linzi that Lu Bu has not expanded his troops for a long time due to food problems, and he only has more than 20,000 troops when he is full, of which there are only 7,000 soldiers; Even if the combat power of Lu Bu's army is high, it is 100,000 Qingzhou Yellow Turbans that attack the territory, even if it is 100,000 pigs, it has to be busy for a while, and choose to attack Lu Bu's rear by surprise at this time, in Cheng Yu's opinion, Cao Cao smashed the 5,000 elite cavalry and the 10,000 elite infantry of Cao Chun's department in Jibei this time, which is enough to become Lu Bu's nightmare!

"Mr. Zhongde, we have already entered the territory of Jinan, which is only a hundred miles away from Linzi, should we immediately contact the Yellow Turban Han Guang Department and urge them to invade Linzi as soon as possible? Just in case! "Cao Ren was instructed by Cao Cao when he came, and everything on this trip must be obeyed by Cheng Yu's orders, and seeing Cheng Yu's confident look, he couldn't help but remind him.

"Jinan has admired the lord for a long time, and he will definitely not reveal our whereabouts! Besides, even if Lu Bu found out? The lord has the imperial court order to exterminate the Yellow Turban in Jinzhou, what can he Lu Bu say? Cheng Yu stroked his long beard under his chin, and his rather dignified face showed a little triumph, and said: "What's more, when I left the northern country, Yu had already asked Bodao to go to Zichuan country." Calculating the time, it's almost time to enter the territory of Linzi with those Yellow Turban thieves, Lu Bu is now too busy to take care of himself, don't worry, general! I waited and waited for the guard with peace of mind, but the message was. ”

"Wei Ke? Although this person is another branch of the Hedong Wei clan, but in the final analysis, he is just a businessman, why does Mr. Zhongde trust this person so much? Entrusting this matter to him? After Cao Ren heard Cheng Yu's explanation, he was also relieved. No matter how powerful Lu Bu is, he is still a human being, in the face of 100,000 Yellow Turbans attacking the city, even if he has the heart, he has no power to send soldiers to Jinan State, but there are 15,000 troops waiting here! It's just that Cao Ren had some doubts about Cheng Yu actually sending guards to do such an important thing.

"Since it's not far from Linzi, it's okay to tell the general!" Cheng Yu said with a smile: "This incident is really God's blessing, that Qin Xu erection, I don't know why I offended the people of Xuzhou, and was chased and killed in the Qingzhou Yellow Turban, which made many small Yellow Turban forces ready to move." It was under the cover of this incident that Cheng decided on the plan of this group of wolves to devour the tigers without being discovered. The grain, grass and goods that contacted the Qingzhou Yellow Turban this time were donated by Nawei from his own pocket! As the gold lord of the Yellow Turban Thief, it is most appropriate to send him to contact! ”

"Oh? I have only heard that this businessman is not profitable and can't afford to be early, and I have not heard the lord complain less on weekdays, why did he take the initiative to serve the lord's great cause this time? Cao Renjiu was by Cao Cao's side, knowing that although Cao Cao wanted to develop with the help of the Wei family's financial resources, he was very unhappy with Wei Ke's character and stinginess.

"It's just a matter of children, a battle of will, don't talk about people behind the gentleman, they are all ministers of the lord, don't say it, don't say it!" Cheng Yu's eyes flashed with contempt and said. Cheng Yu is very clear about how Wei is a person, but this time he was able to "mobilize" the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Han Guang Department, but Wei contributed a lot, and Cheng Yu didn't want to leave the impression that he liked to play right and wrong in front of Cao Ren, so he said a few words and stopped.

Cao Ren knew the meaning of the song when he heard it, and the corners of his mouth showed a hint of an ambiguous smile. Cao Ren was also present at Chen Liu's banquet that day, and Wei Ke's ugliness was seen in his eyes, but the other person he remembered was Cao Ren's smile on his face, and a trace of worry lingered in his heart.

Qin Xu! The name was like a spell, which made Cao Ren feel a little embarrassed when he thought of it.

Chen Liuyan swept Cao Cao's face, and the other victim of the night was next to him; After that, a child's play on the nameless hill, dozens of strange things that could emit flashes and loud noises, made Cao Jun's 40,000 elites trample on each other, and more than half of them were killed and wounded, so Cao Cao lay in bed for half a month before getting out of bed; The cavalry horses that came this time were not only deaf to the ears, but also specially prepared blindfolds to prevent accidents.

And although this time he used the hand of the Qingzhou Yellow Turban to deal with Lu Bu, and he and others led the troops to come to collect the profits, but when he thought that this matter had been mixed with Qin Xu from beginning to end, although Cheng Yu was full of confidence in this plan, and he was very contemptuous of Lu Bu and Qin Xu, but Cao Ren was stunned as if he was sick, and he was worried, for fear that something bad would happen.

Cao Renneng finally became the great Sima and general of Cao Wei, and I have to say that he is still very good at seeing people, and his ability to predict unknown dangers is far from being comparable to Cheng Yu, who loves to eat human flesh.

In fact, as Cao Ren expected, as long as there is Qin Xu and the things in it, it is not a good thing for the old Cao family.

In Linzi City, Lu Bu got the "good news" of Qin Xu's "compensation", and it was rare that he did not settle accounts with Qin Xu in the military discussion, and staged a scene of father-in-law teaching son-in-law, which disappointed Lu Bu's generals who planned to watch a good show. However, Qin Xu was not complacent because of this, after all, this kind of overstepping his authority once or twice can be said to be on the bow, and he has to overstep his authority like this; But after a lot of times, not to mention whether the generals of Lu Bu's army would have ideas, even Qin Xu himself was a little embarrassed.

Moreover, with the continuous mixing of Qin Xu's little butterfly, the history of the late Han Dynasty has changed a lot, Qin Xu's prophetic sense has gradually been unable to control the more and more confusing form of the future, and Xu You and others from the Yuan family are difficult to dedicate themselves for a while, and Lu Bu is not convinced; Originally, there was Jia Xu, an old fox who controlled the shadows and was very wise, but he had been using Jonaqiao through his bet with Qin Xu to be used by Lu Bujun wholeheartedly; Therefore, Qin Xu made up his mind that after this crisis, he would also get candidates for Lu Bu who were resourceful and resourceful, and who could be stationed in the core of Lu Bu's army. It also saves the time when his advantage is completely gone, so as not to make Lu Bujun go on a fork in the road due to decision-making mistakes.

After hearing the news of Lu Bu's announcement of Cao's army's movements, the momentum of silence that the generals had born because of the Yellow Turban's lack of a fight also rose. The combat power of the Qingzhou Yellow Turban is not high, and in the hearts of the veteran generals on the battlefield, it is just to relieve their hunger, how can they have the pleasure of fighting with the elite soldiers of the Cao Army! The little grudge that vaguely arose from the admiration of Qin Xu in his heart also disappeared completely, and his mind was all on who Lu Bu would take to "eat meat".

Due to the sudden increase of more than 100,000 yellow turban troops in Linzi City, the pressure on public security suddenly increased greatly; LΓΌ Bu finally decided to hand over the matter of appeasing the Yellow Turban army to Sima Zanghong of Qingzhou, leaving Song Xian's personal guard battalion and Hou Chengshen's bow battalion to stay in Linzi and listen to Zanghong's call. Lu Bu personally led Zhang Liao, Gao Shun, Cheng Lian and other generals to lead the three battalions of trapping, Xiaocai, and Feicai to attack to meet Cao's army. This resolution made some of the generals in the tent rejoice and some grieve.

"Lord, I'll go and join in the fun!" After Qin Xu saw that Lu Bu had finished arranging, he got up and said. This time, since Cao Jun had the intention of picking up dried fish and picking up cheap, the fake hand yellow turban dragged the main force of Lu Bu's army to attack Linzi from behind, with the steady nature of Cao Cao and Cheng Yu, the army sent would definitely not be too small. Although Qin Xu made Cao Cao suffer a big loss in the nameless hills, most of the soldiers were scattered, and Cao Chun of the Jibei Kingdom did not fight hard with Lu Bu, and he did not hurt his muscles and bones too much, and there were at least 20,000 troops available for mobility. But Lu Bu left the two largest number of battalions in Linzi, and the other three battalions were only 3,000 people, Qin Xu did not doubt the combat power of these three battalions at all, but it was not a good thing that the proportion of the number was too different, every soldier in Lu Bu's army was a treasure, and it was best to minimize and avoid casualties.

"What are you going to do? On the battlefield, it is the place where our warriors should be! Lu Bu squinted at Qin Xu, the corners of his mouth hooked slightly, and said with a smile: "What?" Didn't vomit enough last time? ”

"My lord listens to me!" That experience really made Qin Xu quit even his favorite barbecue, how could he forget that the crowd looked like they were looking at Lu Bu's face and forced to laugh wildly, which made Qin Xu helplessly said: "This time the Cao army crossed the border, the plan is very big, and the soldiers brought will not be too few." Although Xu has never doubted the ability of the lord and the generals, the strong army under the lord's command is the foundation of our army's foothold in Qingzhou, so why bother to come to the enemy for the sake of the source in vain? ”

"What about you? Do you have to go out with the whole army? But Linzi defense can not afford to lose! The second battalion of the personal guard and the divine bow should not be moved lightly! "These generals under his command, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is Lu Bu's life, although he is a little dissatisfied with what Qin Xu said about Cao Junbing, but it is related to the lives of soldiers, so Lu Bu can only endure and say.

"The lord laughed, there are not only three battalions to fight in Linzi City, there are at least 20,000 troops available!" Qin Xu said pointedly.

"You mean, those Yellow Turban soldiers who just joined?" When Lu Bu heard what Qin Xu said, he refused without thinking: "If it doesn't work, you also know how powerful these people are, don't say that fighting with the Cao army is to escape from our army when the time comes, I will thank God." ”

"Naturally, they won't be allowed to go up directly to kill, which will also make our army too unauthentic." Qin Xu said: "But let them be suspicious soldiers, it's still okay to play side drums." It can also let them really see the strong combat power of our army, stabilize their military morale, and kill two birds with one stone! ”
