Judging from the current situation, it is unlikely that Cao Ying will stick to Yanzhou, Yanzhou's terrain is relatively simple, there is nothing to hold on to the dangerous place, with Cao Ying's current strength, there is only a dead end to hold on, looking at the map in front of him, Meng Ge got such a conclusion.

Meng Ge pondered for a while in the big tent, and suddenly asked: "Xiahou Lan, I think Cao Ying will definitely escape, so tell me where he should be allowed to escape?" ”

"Well, General, do you mean to put one side and keep the other?" According to the current situation, Xiahou Lan came up with the most direct answer, judging from the current strength, it is unlikely that he wants to trap Cao Ying, even if the enemy's troops are scarce, but his mobile surname has to be considered.

It is precisely because the number of enemies is not large, which also increases the difficulty of searching, although Cao Ying is still in Yanzhou, but Yanzhou is not small, and there are hundreds of miles in a radius, and it is not realistic to cover your own forces within hundreds of miles.

With Menggo's current strength, it is impossible to cover such an area, and if the force is doubled, then it may still be possible, but in order to cope with the southern expedition, the number of troops that Mengge can use now is not enough to cover the entire Dongjun, and if you want to solve Cao Ying, you still need a certain amount of calculation.

And Xiahoulan's words must be right, Meng Ge does intend to hold one side and force Cao Ying to where he wants, in Meng Ge's view, the most ideal position should be to force Cao Ying to the north, Yanzhou to the north is Jizhou, that is the original Yuan Shao's territory, but now it is the territory of the Yuan brothers, forcing the tiger into the wolf pack, maybe it can stage a dog-eat-dog show.

Of course, the biggest possibility is that the two sides formed an alliance because there was a lion on the opposite side to form a situation of common resistance to the enemy, and to the north, there is the Yellow River natural danger, which is the most likely direction of Cao Ying's action.

Looking at the location on the map, Xiahou Lan frowned and said: "General, if Cao Ying escapes to the north, then we have to cross the river and attack, which undoubtedly increases the risk, after all, with the Yellow River natural danger as a basis, Cao Ying can fight with our army, not to mention that the Yuan brothers will not sit idly by." ”

In the face of a strong enemy, the most likely way is to unite, which is not surprising at all, Cao Ying will definitely look for help, which is not surprising, but the problem now is not this, of course Meng Ge also thought that the other party will rely on the Yellow River natural danger, which is also an inevitable situation.

Meng Ge nodded and said: "Yes, there will indeed be the situation you said, this is also no way, now it seems that we can only drive Cao Ying into Jizhou, so as to seize Yanzhou, and then go east to capture Xuzhou, and Qingzhou is also within my plan, as long as this strategic goal is achieved, then Cao Ying and the Yuan brothers are not afraid." ”

After speaking, Meng Ge drew two strokes on the map, and from the two strokes, Meng Ge made it clear that what he wanted was to cut off the connection between Yanzhou and Xuzhou in the east, that is to say, Meng Ge did not intend to let Cao Ying go east, but only wanted Cao Ying to go north, and to the north was Jizhou, so that he and the Yuan brothers would make trouble, this is the best plan, if Cao Ying was released to the east, then Xuzhou and Qingzhou would not be easy to do.

With the funding of these two states, Cao Ying can quickly pull up his forces, and if he goes further north, he can rely on the dangerous defense of the Yellow River, so as to get a respite, which is not what Meng Ge wants to see.

Of course, this also increases the risk, if Cao Ying keeps going east, once he is caught up by the cavalry, then his fate will be sealed, but one thing is very important, Meng Ge needs to recover all the way to the place, and it takes a lot of time, so Cao Ying has plenty of time to evacuate.

Chen Liu's situation is like this, because of the need to recover the territory, there is too much time delayed, and many Menggo are a little impatient, he needs a more effective way, if Cao Ying continues to go east, then I am afraid that he will not be able to catch up with Ma Yue in the Year of the Monkey.

But if you let go of the territory along the way, it will be very dangerous, because there are still hidden dangers in these places, such as Bian Rang, this kind of person, ready to eat you at any time, I'm afraid you don't dare to leave it alone, there is a saying that ants bite elephants to death, Mongo doesn't want to capsize in the gutter.

After thinking for a while, Meng Ge said: "I think we must stop Cao Ying from going east, go, I have a new task to give him at eight o'clock, and he will definitely like this errand this time." ”

"Yes, I'll call him!" Xiahou Lan answered, and immediately went down.

Of course, Meng Ge's meaning is very clear, that is, to give full play to the role of the poisonous dragon camp, completely provoke Cao Ying, and force him to go north, although this method is not very kind, but Meng Ge likes it very much, he wants to know what will happen to Dian Wei and Mao Cao Ying.

After a while, Dian Wei ran over and said with a happy face: "General, is there any errand for calling me here?" ”

Meng Ge punched him and said with a smile: "Naturally, what am I looking for you to do, I'm full!" ”

As soon as he heard that there was an errand, Dian Wei patted his chest and said: "Then let's say, what kind of errand is it, as long as it can be done, the old pawn will help the general do it!" ”

"Okay, no more nonsense, come here!" After a few words of gossip, Meng Ge soon got to the point, Dian Wei also restrained a little, and leaned over with a solemn face, and there was a map in front of him, but Dian Wei couldn't see the doorway.

After pondering for a while, Dian Wei was puzzled and said: "General, if you have any tasks, just say it, what does it mean to look at the map?" ”

Meng Ge glanced at this guy, and said with hatred: "Usually let you study hard, but you just don't listen, to be honest, I'm really not at ease, but at the moment, only you can do it, and I am even more worried about others!" ”

"That's it!" Dian Wei didn't care at all, his skin was thick.

Meng Ge was not interested in talking nonsense with him, and then said: "Okay, you take a good look, Cao Ying now has four major places, the first is to the east, the east is Xuzhou, after Xiaopei is Xuzhou, the second is to the southeast, this is Shouchun, and you can go to Jiangdong if you go further; The third is through Jinan, starting from Dongjun, detouring to Qingzhou, and finally going north, entering Jizhou, this road is too much, taking Dongjun as a turn, the world can go, of course, he doesn't dare to go back to Chenliu, do you know what I want you to do? ”

Hearing this, Dian Wei just didn't understand, and immediately shook his head, saying that he didn't know what to do at all, of course, there was nothing strange about it, Cao Ying had so many ways to go, who knew where he would go in the end.

Without any nonsense, Meng Ge said with a rogue face: "I want you to entangle Cao Ying, wrap his hair, and after that, you tell him that in addition to going north, as long as he goes in the other three directions, then beat him so hard that he can't even recognize his father, understand?" ”

This took Meng Ge a lot of time, and this method was only capable of Dian Wei, except for the Poison Dragon Battalion, no one else could do it, because the Poison Dragon Battalion could disappear into the enemy's field of vision, and could attack the opponent at any time, and could hide in the darkness of the domain and give the enemy a fatal blow at any time.

Meng Ge carefully calculated, the other three roads, whether it is to go east to Xuzhou, or south to Shouchun, or to detour to Qingzhou, Cao Ying has to walk thousands of miles, but if Dian Wei pesters him, I am afraid that they will be eaten by Dian Wei before they get to the place, if he really goes in these three directions, that is when he will be killed.

Speaking of this, Dian Wei finally got his senses, and immediately said with great joy: "General, isn't this the same as dealing with the Kwantung princes at the beginning, as long as you entangle them, right?" ”

Mungo nodded and smiled, "That's it, no problem!" ”

Dian Wei patted his chest and said: "No problem, wrap it on my old man, keep it and let Cao Ying go east, he doesn't dare to go west!" Hey! ”

Meng Ge said: "That's enough, but I want him to go north, of course, if there is a chance to destroy him, that's great, you can just look at it, what to do, I won't emphasize it anymore, but there is one thing to pay attention to, be sure to ensure your own safety, I don't want you to have any damage, understand?" ”

"Yes, if it's okay, I'll go down and get ready right away!" Dian Wei was a little impatient, and Meng Ge didn't mean to keep him, and waved his hand to signal Dian Wei to go down.

For the safety of the Poison Dragon Battalion, Meng Ge is not too worried, even if Cao Ying trains the same army, he will not be able to eat the Poison Dragon Battalion, at most he will be sent to make trouble for himself, and then you punch me on both sides, I will bite you, if you fight in the vast jungle, no one on either side can help anyone.

Of course, Cao Ying has already entered the east, it will be even better, the poisonous dragon battalion will definitely teach him a profound lesson, no matter in which direction, it is not possible to reach it in one or two, in the process of this march, Dian Wei can give Cao Ying a heavy blow, and Meng Ge is of course happy to see this kind of scene.

However, he believed that Cao Ying would not give him such an opportunity, and if they wanted to get rid of the Poison Dragon Camp, their only way was to go north, go to the Jizhou region, and get rid of the entanglement of the Poison Dragon Camp through the Yellow River, the Poison Dragon Camp was not a god, it was impossible to fly across the Yellow River, and it was impossible for Meng Ge to throw them across the Yellow River.

As soon as this Dian Wei left, Xiahou Lan said: "General, can this work, if Cao Ying calculates, it will not be good for us, if we lose the Poison Dragon Battalion, it will be a big loss." ”

Meng Ge said calmly: "No problem, no matter how powerful Cao Ying is, he can only take care of one side, even if Cao Ying exerts all his strength, he may not be able to defeat the Poison Dragon Battalion, four times the strength of the Poison Dragon Battalion, presumably Dian Wei can also swallow it, if Cao Ying chooses to fight hard, then he is not far from death!" ”

As the most elite army under his command, Mongo has reason to believe that as long as they don't encounter any flash floods, if they want to defeat the Poison Dragon Battalion, it is probably impossible, on the contrary, they may be dragged to death by the Poison Dragon Battalion.

However, Meng Ge was also helpless, and sent Dian Wei to accompany Cao Ying, but it was not a way, and now Chen Liucai had just recovered, and then the counties and counties in Yanzhou would take a certain amount of time, but if you didn't put pressure on Cao Ying, it would definitely not work.

If you exclude Zhang Liao and Ma Chao, naturally there is not much of a problem, but the two of them still have to attack the city, and they don't have that kung fu for the time being, and many things have to rely on them, after all, the cavalry battalion has the widest combat radius, and if it encounters an emergency, the cavalry battalion can be mobilized in time to meet unexpected needs, which is also necessary.

In addition, for Cao Ying's three or four thousand men and horses, send a cavalry battalion, it is not necessary, and once Cao Ying hides in the city, the cavalry battalion is basically no way, let the cavalry attack the city, that is, to catch the blind, think about it, or the poisonous dragon camp is the most suitable, if Dian Wei goes, it is definitely enough for Cao Ying to drink a pot.

With the mobilization of the poisonous dragon battalion, the army is no longer calm, everyone is talking about this, what is the task this time, it is necessary for the poisonous dragon battalion to do, everyone knows one thing, the task of the poisonous dragon battalion is by no means so simple, and the poisonous dragon battalion has moved, so the big war is not far away.

However, Meng Ge did not give orders to others, or temporarily stayed in Chen Liu to recuperate, this way to kill, although the army has not gone through a big battle, but still a little tired, after all, Chen stayed in Luoyang, the distance is also quite far, almost thousands of miles away, even the forced march, although there has been no battle, but the army will always be a little tired.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, it is just time to take a rest, Mongo naturally has his considerations, but many people are not very happy, the poisonous dragon camp has tasks, but they still have to rest, and many people have come to the door.

Just when Meng Ge was checking the new camp, Ma Chao and Zhang Liao ran over, and when they saw Meng Ge inspecting the new camp, they immediately couldn't wait to run up.

One of his generals stood in front of him, and Meng Ge said with some surprise: "I said what's wrong with you, what are you all doing here?" ”

Everyone, you look at me, I look at you, and finally Xu Huang stood up and said: "General, that's the case, we saw Dian Wei dispatched just now, why didn't we have a task?" ”

Seeing this posture, Meng Ge fully understood, and Meng Ge had to say: "Why, my hands are itchy, and I want to beat Cao Yan!" ”

"Well, the general knows it, and he does have this intention!" Xu Huang touched his head a little embarrassed.

Everyone nodded one after another, taking the initiative to ask for battle, Meng Ge said with a funny face: "Forget it, I originally wanted to wait, since you are in a hurry, then it is up to you, and our army will set off, let's go back and prepare!" ”

This time, everyone was satisfied, and they went back to prepare, and it was said that it was time to go out, and they had to go back to prepare well, and they could be panicked, and they didn't fight a battle along the way, which was indeed a little unpleasant for these people.

Watching everyone leave, Meng Ge shook his head and said: "This is not good, these guys are worried about fighting all day long, but if there is no war in the future, then it must not make a fuss, do you have any ideas for the public stage?" ”

Chen Gong shook his head and said: "Is this, there is no way for your subordinates, the generals are eager to fight, this is understandable, where did the Weichen come from, besides, this is a good thing, and there is no war in the future, there are still many things to do, don't you, the general doesn't have to worry!" ”

"Yes, let's go ahead!" Mungo shook his head, just after a while, he thought about not fighting, this is still a shadowless thing.

Since Dong Zhuo entered Beijing, it has been almost two years, and this is just such a place, and the war is far from over, and there are still fights!
