Cao Ying and Yuan Shao discussed the plan of camping, and then went to Gongsun Zhan, he told Gongsun Chan about this plan, and asked Gongsun Chan to press the army as close as possible to the Tiger Prison, as close as possible, if the pressure was not close enough, to give the cavalry of the Fujiao Army a battlefield to move, at that time the cavalry to the cavalry, Gongsun Chan and Bai Ma Yicong had to consider not how to win the battle, but how to have the life to return to Liaodong alive!

Gongsun Chan listened to Cao Ying's words, of course, Cao Ying said it very politely, and raised Gongsun Zhan's important surname to an irreplaceable height, giving him enough face, but Gongsun Chan was still so annoyed that he was smoking!

Gongsun Zhan didn't know that this plan was made by Cao Ying, Cao Ying wanted to set up a second camp, on the surface, he shared hardships with him, and he couldn't find fault with Cao Ying, but he hated Yuan Shao to the core, Yuan Shao was too vicious, didn't he put him on the stove, and he would be roasted to death!

Gongsun Zhan said angrily: "General Cao, I don't know how I offended the Lord of the Yuan League, how did he actually send me to the front, although I had some unhappiness with him when I was in Yuancheng, but I won't die to the death, I'll ask him!" ”

Saying that, he was going to find Yuan Shao and talk about it well, if he couldn't say it well, then it would be no wonder that he didn't give face, so he simply pulled the team and went back to Liaodong, whoever loves to fight with Li Qin will fight, anyway, he won't shed this muddy water!

Cao Ying grabbed Gongsun Zhan and said, "General Gongsun is angry, if you want to say the reason for this, it is actually because you have been affected, and you have made amends for your sin!" He bowed deeply to Gongsun Zhan, and the expression on his face was very painful, as if he had suffered some great grievance.

Gongsun Zhan stopped and said strangely: "General Cao, where did you come from, why did you affect me?" ”

Cao Ying straightened his waist, sighed heavily, and said: "If you want to deal with Li Qin's cavalry, our coalition army has no good way, only to try to press the military camp down the pass, and not give Li Qin's cavalry a battlefield to move, but if we want to talk about the strength of the coalition army, Yuan Meng's lord is the strongest, and Ji is second, and the matter of pressing the military camp under the pass, naturally Yuan Mengzhu can't do it, he has to command the whole army!" ”

Gongsun Zhan said hesitantly: "Presumably, then General Cao can only press forward the barracks!" ”

Cao Ying nodded and said, "That's all it can be." But my army is mainly infantry, and there is a lack of fierce generals under my command, so I resigned to Yuan Mengzhu, which is not cowardice, but just due to ...... This, there are many reasons, I can't explain it clearly for a while, I have too many elders there, do they all have to take care of, so I have more worries! ”

After a pause, he said again: "Lord Yuan Meng saw that I was resigned, so he asked me not to be afraid, he arranged you in the first battalion, and said that he could keep me worry-free, so he said...... Alas, I have nothing to say now, but I still hope that General Gongsun will take more care of him when he is about to fight, and take care of him! ”

If you say it directly, it can be annoying at times, but if you turn a corner, the effect will be much better. Cao Ying didn't say how bad Yuan Shao was, but every sentence was arranging Yuan Shao's no, and he was still saying that he needed Gongsun Zhan's care, which sounded very dependent on Gongsun Zhan, for the generals, this was very comfortable, at least Gongsun Zhan was in a much better mood now.

Gongsun Zhan listened to Cao Ying's words, and then put down the mind of going to Yuan Shao's theory, he had nothing to do with Cao Ying, on the contrary, he still had some bad feelings towards Cao Ying, thinking that Cao Ying was a child of an official eunuch, and he could get to today's status by virtue of his background, but now listening to Cao Ying's "heart-to-heart" speech, the little evil feeling in his heart suddenly disappeared, on the contrary, he also had a feeling of hatred and hatred with Cao Ying.

Cao Ying saw that Gongsun Zhan's attitude softened, so he said: "The matter has come to this, if you go to reason with Yuan Shao now, I am afraid that not only will you not be able to let Yuan Shao take back his life, but also have a big quarrel, I came to help the prince, it is for the sake of the Han Dynasty, not for his own selfishness, so I know that he is not good enough in some places, for the sake of the overall situation, we still need to endure this breath!" ”

Gongsun Zhan also sighed and said, "Yes, for the sake of the overall situation, everything is for the prince!" However, if we press forward, Li Qin will not watch it, he will definitely send troops to fight, so how should we deal with it? ”

Cao Ying smiled slightly and said, "On the way to find you just now, I thought of a countermeasure, you and I can not only press the barracks forward until the gate is closed, but also camp safely and securely, without worrying about safety!" ”

Gongsun Zhan sighed and said curiously: "Where did this come from, General Cao, what are your clever plans, can you say it?" ”

Cao Ying said: "Li Qin has a good reputation, and his reputation has always been very good. There are only you and me in the tent, and there is no need to have any taboos, to tell the truth, except for those of us who support the crown prince, almost every person under Li Qin's rule says that he is good, this is because he has no time to harm the people, and secondly, it is related to the fact that he sent people to promote his good reputation, which is his strength, but I can turn this strength into his shortcoming! ”

Gongsun Zhan frowned, Li Qin has a good reputation, he knows it, if he wants to turn this advantage into a disadvantage, it is too difficult! Thinking in his heart, he said, "Destroy Li Qin's good reputation? It's so hard! ”

Cao Ying smiled: "It's too difficult to destroy his good reputation, but it's too easy to maintain his good reputation!" General Gongsun, please think about it, if Ye repairs a book now, this letter is public, ask Li Qin in front of the Fujiao Army, and ask him if he dares to have a dignified offensive and defensive battle with my Cao Ying, without using tricks against each other, only relying on the courage of the soldiers, you talk about it, how will he answer? ”

Gongsun Zhan didn't think about it, and said: "Of course he will agree, Li Lang is the most righteous, the world knows it, and righteous people naturally want to be upright, if he doesn't agree, won't it ruin his good reputation, and also ruin the reputation of the Fujiao Army for daring to fight...... Ah, got it! ”

Gongsun Chan had a smile on his face, looked at Cao Ying, and the two nodded together.

The next day, Yuan Shao gathered all the princes, told them about the camp, and arranged the order in which the princes of each road camped. None of the princes want to put the barracks in front, but they can listen to Gongsun Chan is the first way, followed by Cao Ying as the second way, they have nothing to say, someone takes the lead, or Cao Ying and Gongsun Chan, the strongest three-way princes have two of them on top, then they have nothing to quarrel about, follow the big slip and follow the mix, everyone has their own selfishness, don't say the second brother!

After explaining the battle plan for the conquest of Li Qin, he immediately began to act, and Cao Ying and Gongsun Zan moved forward and pressed towards the Tiger Prison Pass. Just as they were leading their troops forward, Li Qin received a letter from Cao Ying.

Cao Ying first sent people to the Tiger Prison Pass, the two armies fought without killing the envoys, and the messenger sent by Cao Ying was extremely low, and he could not be said to be like a dog in front of Li Qin, but it was about the same, this was specially ordered by Cao Ying, mainly to keep the messenger from being harmed. I'm afraid that Li Qin can do it without cutting off the envoy, but cut off a few parts of the envoy's body, which is unbearable, especially the messenger's tongue, which must be kept!

After Li Qin read the letter, he thought in his heart, this is the method of agitation, I didn't expect Cao Ying to use this trick, he wanted to use the so-called dignified and upright to block himself, and prevent himself from sending troops to attack, he thought it was beautiful!

Li Qin showed the letter to Jia Xu, and after Jia Xu read the letter, he smiled, didn't say anything, waved at the messenger, and motioned for the messenger to get out. The messenger breathed a sigh of relief, did not dare to delay for a moment, and ran out of the pass.

Li Qin said to Jia Xu: "Looking at your appearance, have you thought of a way to deal with it?" So fast! ”

Jia Xu laughed dryly twice and said: "This Cao Ying, as clever as he is, it is easy to clean him up, and after he comes, make sure that he can't cry!" ”

Li Qin smiled, in history, Jia Xu didn't repair Cao Ying so that he almost couldn't find the north, after a big war, not only his son and nephew were killed by Jia Xu, but even Dian Wei, the general, was broken, so he really couldn't cry!

Li Qin was very confident that Jia Xu would clean up Cao Ying, and he smiled: "What method to use, let's listen to it!" ”

Jia Xu stood up and said, "Let's go, let's go to the pass and say, I guess the messenger should be out of the pass, he will definitely shout out the content of the letter at the pass, and then say that you agreed." Do you want to make a bet, let's bet a copper coin! ”

Li Qin also stood up and said with a smile: "Okay, I bet with you." But how can Cao Ying's clever plan be worth only one copper coin, double, I bet two sons with you! As he spoke, he waved at the generals.

The generals laughed and followed the two of them to the pass.

As Jia Xu expected, the messenger's posture in the hall was extremely low, but as soon as he got out of the pass, when he arrived at a stone's throw away, his posture immediately became so high that he couldn't be higher, turned the horse's head, opened his throat and shouted at the pass, shouting the content of the letter, and he also repeatedly emphasized that Li Qin agreed, and was willing to come to a big battle of attack and defense in a dignified manner, until the Fujiao soldiers went out of the city to chase him, he fled, and he fled extremely fast, and the best scouts of the Fujiao soldiers did not catch up with him!

Li Qin stood beside the battlement, laughed, and asked someone to take two copper coins, which was considered to be lost to Jia Xu, and he said: "No wonder this messenger was so obscene when he was in the hall, it turned out to be a pitiful appearance, lest I cut off his tongue, if he didn't have a tongue, he would come in vain!" ”

Jia Xu said: "If Cao Ying is caught, then he can't be allowed to go back alive, killing him can deter those rebels." Didn't he say that he wanted to fight an offensive and defensive battle in a dignified manner, very good, let's fight him! He thought that the offensive and defensive battle must be the defense inside the pass, and the attack outside the pass, but unfortunately, he was wrong! ”

Dian Wei said: "Just now I thought Cao Ying's strategy was very good, we can only be led by the nose, now I listen to Lao Jia say this, there is a loophole in Cao Ying's plan, he didn't say who attacked and defended, this loophole let Lao Jia you find out, how can you not drill, you like to drill holes the most!" ”

Jia Xu said angrily: "You can say no, you love to drill holes!" ”

Dian Wei said seriously: "Okay, then I'll say what you like to hear, you are not a puppet ......"

Jia Xu snorted, and before he could say anything, he saw Dian Wei's expression change, and said triumphantly: "You are not a horseman, but an old horseman, and the old man is also a giant horseman!" ”
