Cao Ren said, "Go and invite the military advisor to come over." ”

Cao Chun took the order, and after a while, Guo Jia walked in with a yawn.

As soon as he entered the account, Guo Jia asked Cao Ren: "General Zixiao, but the lord's army has arrived."

"No, it will still take a few days for the lord's army to reach Zhuyi." Cao Ren shook his head and said, "It's the sentry that monitored Yuan's army that came back and brought back a surprising piece of news. ”

"Surprising news" Guo Jia said, "what news"

Cao Ren stared at Guo Jia's eyes and said, "Yuan No's department did not turn back, but continued to go west. ”

"What, Yuan No's department continued to go west" Guo Jia couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this, this is not logical, how can Yuan Jun still go west and go west, it will take three or five days to come and go, and at that time, the army of the lord has already arrived in Zhuyi, and Yuan No's Xiaocai battalion can fight well, and it will not be able to pass Suishui.

If you can't pass the water, where can Yuan go

Could it be that Yuan really planned to nest in Runan to be a bandit

Cao Ren said: "Military advisor, Yuan Wei Xiao'er shouldn't really plan to change his course?"

"Impossible" Guo Jia shook his head categorically and said, "Peijun is the only way for Yuan Jun to live, whether he goes west, whether he goes to Dongjun, Chenliu County or Yingchuan Group, Yuan Jun can only be a dead end, no matter what else he is, a Yellow River is enough to block them, there is no ferry, why should Yuan Jun cross the river"

The Yellow River is not a small river like Suishui.

Suishui and Zhuyi can wade across the river, but the Yellow River is absolutely impossible.

What's more, there are naval patrols on the Yellow River, and if Yuan Wei thinks that he can cross the river by taking a few rafts or grabbing a few fishing boats, then he is too naïve.

"Yes." Cao Ren also felt that Guo Jia's words were reasonable, and frowned and said, "But it is an indisputable fact that Yuan Jun continues to go west, you say, what does Yuan Jia want to do?"

Guo Jia frowned and walked to the screen, pondered for a long time on the map, and said: "Playing with the mystery, Yuan is still playing with the mystery"

Cao Ren said: "Even if Yuan Wei Xiao'er is playing tricks, but his intentions are so painstaking, and he should have a plan to go west with thousands of horse infantry troops."

Guo Jia said: "It is nothing more than to lure us into pursuit, and then defeat us in the field, and then he can cross the Suishui east without hindrance, that's all." ”

Cao Ren said: "But the military advisor just said that going west can only be a dead end, why can't Yuan Xiao'er see this, why does he think that we will pursue?"

"This" Guo Jia was stunned when he heard this, which was also what he couldn't figure out.

No matter whether Yuan Que goes north and south, or even returns to Shansang County by the same route, Cao Jun may pursue, but only to the west, Guo Jia really can't think of a reason for Cao Jun to pursue, because going west is clearly a dead end, Cao Jun only needs to hold Zhuyi Water Village, just wait for Cao Cao's army to arrive, Yuan No will be defeated.

The Yuan army went deep into the hinterland of Yanzhou, which was nothing more than to cause some damage to Chongzhou, nothing more.

And judging from Yuan Wei's behavior in Lujiang County, Huainan County, this person is by no means a vicious person.

Cao Ren followed to the map and said, "The reason why Yuan Fu Xiao'er did this is that he should have tried something."

While speaking, Cao Ren's eyes subconsciously wandered back and forth on the map, and suddenly, Cao Ren's eyes focused on a certain place on the map, and he shouted: "It's broken."

Guo Jia was taken aback by Cao Ren's sudden shout, and hurriedly asked, "What's wrong with General Zixiao?"

"Yuan Wei Xiao'er of Qian County, he is going to Qian County" Cao Ren pointed to the map, and said angrily, "At present, although most of my Cao family's direct and close branches have moved to Xudu to settle down, there are still many side and far branches in Qian County, and the reason why Yuan Wei Xiao'er went west must be to go to Qian County to find the bad luck of my Cao clan, yes, it must be like this."

Cao Chun next to him was also taken aback, and hurriedly said: "Brother, then we have to hurry back to save Qian County."

"The two generals are overthinking." Guo Jia waved his hand and said, "Yuan Wei Xiao'er used to be in Longkang, and the rebels were desperate and refused to kill prisoners, and he was willing to take out the only grain in the army to Tuntian, which shows that this person is not a very vicious person, and he will definitely not be able to do such a thing as slaughtering the Cao clan." ”

After a pause, Guo Jia said again: "What's more, the city of Qian County is far stronger than the average county town, although Yuan No's cavalry battalion is powerful, but after all, it is a cavalry, good at field warfare and not good at attacking the city, so it is not so easy for the Yuan army to capture Qian County, Yuan No really wants to attack the city at all costs, I am afraid that before he defeats Qian County, the army of the lord has already arrived." ”

"Yes." Cao Ren and Cao Chun brothers breathed a sigh of relief.

Cao Ren said again: "Then I don't understand, what does Yuan Wei Xiao'er want to do?"

Guo Jia's brows furrowed again, and he couldn't figure it out about this.

Dividing line

On the official road from Dan County to Qian County, Yuan Jun is advancing mightily.

Yuan Wei pointed ahead with a horsewhip and said to Liu Ye: "Ziyang, the front is Qian County, I heard that Cao Cao is the Qian County clan, and now Cao Cao Gui is the current Sikong, and most of his direct clan relatives must have moved to Xuchang to settle down, but I think there must be a lot of Cao clan left in Qian County, right?"

As soon as Liang Gang Zhou Cang heard this, his face immediately showed a look of gnashing teeth and hatred.

Liang Gang and Le became friends, Zhou Cang became friends with Du Yuan and He Man, and now Le and Du Yuan and He Man all died at the hands of Cao Jun, and Liang Gang and Zhou Cang thought about revenge all the time.

At that moment, Liang Gang said in a deep voice: "Son, the last general will please wipe out the entire Cao clan to comfort the spirit of the sky." ”

The so-called extermination of the entire Cao clan means that all the children surnamed Cao in Qian County should be arrested and beheaded

Liu Ye was taken aback when he heard this, and said hurriedly: "Son, the reason why Cao Cao is criticized by the world's scholars is because he slaughtered Xuzhou in the name of avenging his father. ”

Liu Ye was also anxious, and such assertions as rebellion against the sky also came out.

However, Liu Ye is also really afraid that Yuan Wei's brain will be hot and he will start killing in Qian County, if this is the case, the little reputation that he had accumulated in Lujiang with great difficulty before would disappear in a blink of an eye.

Fame is not easy to accumulate, but it is easy to damage.

There is a saying that once you have done all the work, sometimes it only takes a small mistake to offset all the efforts you have made before, and this is only a small mistake, if it is a tyrannical act like slaughtering the city, it is enough to nail you to the pillar of shame in history, and even a hundred years later, there will still be scholars who will write against you.

Yuan Fu waved his hand and said: "Cao Cao's perverse behavior and bullying the monarch are his fault, how can I offend the innocent clansmen of the Cao family" After speaking, Yuan Que turned around and reprimanded Liang Gang, "Shu Chang, don't mention the matter of destroying the Cao clan to avenge the pleasure in the future, how can we be an eight-foot man and abolish the public for personal reasons"

Seeing that Liang Gang Zhoucang was still not convinced, Yuan Wei continued: "What's more, Qian County is Cao Cao's hometown, presumably the city is very strong, our army is deep into the enemy's territory, lack of siege equipment, how can we attack in a hurry, if you rashly attack, in vain loss of troops will not be said, in case of a long delay, Cao Jun led a large army to come back to help, then there will be no day." ”

Liu Ye breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly said, "Gongzi Mingjian." ”

The army continued to advance, and soon a majestic city appeared in the field of vision, presumably Qian County.

Yuan Wei visually measured that the height of the city wall in Qian County was four zhang, and a moat was dug outside the city, even if there were no elite soldiers in the city to protect it, it was still not easy to capture such a strong city.

Fortunately, Yuan Wei never thought of attacking Qian County, he only wanted to go to Xuchang now.

At that moment, Yuan Wei said: "Pass the order, the whole army will bypass Qiaoxian and continue to advance."

Yuan No's military order was quickly conveyed, and Liu Ye seemed to want to say something, but the words came to his mouth and swallowed back.

Yuan Wei saw Liu Ye's appearance of wanting to speak and stopped, and said, "Ziyang, but there is something you want to say to me."

Yuan Fu didn't ask, but as soon as Yuan asked Liu Ye, he couldn't hold back anymore and said, "Son, go ahead"

"Let's go, we must go forward," Yuan Wei said, "If we don't move forward, we don't put on a posture of marching into Xuchang, how can we lead the Cao army of Zhuyi out, and how can we cross Suishui east?"

Liu Ye said: "But the problem is, no matter how much fanfare we make, Cao Jun will not be fooled if he is afraid, because Cao Jun is not afraid of us going to Xuchang at all." After speaking, Liu Ye pointed to Qian County, and said, "We can't even beat Qian County, let alone a strong city son like Xuchang, please forgive me for speaking bluntly, this move is too wishful thinking." ”

"Wishful thinking, but not necessarily." Yuan Wei smiled, narrowed his eyes and said, "Calculate the time, Ma Zhong will almost arrive in Xuchang, hurry up tomorrow, the day after tomorrow at the latest, Zhuyi Cao Jun will inevitably catch up, Ziyang, believe it or not"

Liu Ye looked at Yuan No dumbfounded, but he didn't know whether to believe it or not
