In July 202 AD, Cao Cao, who was confronting Yuan Shao Zhongyuan, felt that the time was ripe to attack Gaoyuan, so he ordered Cao Ren to guard Guandu, and Cao Hong gathered troops to support him.

And himself, with Jia Xu and Guo Jia as military advisors, Cheng Yu and Xun You as strategists, Xiahou Yuan, Xiahou Dun, and Xu Chu as generals, Li Dian and Le Jin as the vanguards, and Xiahouen, Cao Chun and others, raised 50,000 infantry and marched into Mengjin.

This time, the strength of the army has lost its previous superiority. But Cao Cao thought that in the past, there were advantages and always failures. Although there is no advantage in strength this time, Sima Yi's internal response will win instead. Therefore, the decision of this expedition is Sima Yi, not the number of troops.

Moreover, this time, he took out his newly built 5,000 tiger and leopard horses, which were specially designed to deal with the wolf riders in Bingzhou.

Cao Cao is rearming for war.

Hanoi District, State Governor's Office, Council Chamber.

Gao Yuan put down the information in his hand and said, "The secret agent of the special intelligence guard has sent back the news that Cao Mengde has left Xu Du. It seems that our Cao Gong is planning to attack in person. ”

While he was pleased that the military information was transmitted back in time, he was a little worried about Cao Cao's personal expedition.

Cao Cao is not easy to deceive.

How to fight this battle must be carefully studied.

"Do the two military advisors have a strategy?" Gao Yuan couldn't help asking.

Cao Cao only thought that Sima Yi was an internal response, so he dared to attack Gaoyuan. This battle is all about Neiying. And for Gao Yuan, the same is true.

When Sima Yi considered it carefully. Xu Shujin said: "Lord, how Cao Mengde will use internal response is the focus of this battle. The most important thing at the moment. It made Cao Mengde even more convinced that Sima Junshi had defected. ”

Sima Yi was very embarrassed when he heard this.

Gao Yuan nodded slightly, and said in his heart that Xu Shu was right, this matter still needs to be calculated, and it is useless to think too much now. He asked: "Yuan Zhi, in your opinion, how to strengthen Cao Mengde's heart?" ”

Xu Shu stroked his beard and smiled: "This matter is also simple, you can let Sima Junshi send a handwritten letter to Cao Mengde." Sima Junshi said: I will suppress Meng Jin's battle report. and urged Cao Mengde. Hurry up to prevent changes! ”

Gao Yuan nodded again and again, this Mengjin ferry must be let out. Otherwise, Cao Cao would not be able to go ashore, and it would be difficult to completely annihilate the river. And Xu Shu's plan can logically let go of Meng Jin, and it can make Cao Cao think that he has played the role of Sima Yi. Killing two birds with one stone is indeed a clever plan.

So, Gao Yuan asked Sima Yi to write a letter immediately.

Sima Yi picked up the pen here and waved it. However, after Gao Yuan looked at it, he felt that the writing was not good, it turned out that Gao Yuan did not mention a word in this letter, he shook his head and said, "Zhongda, this is not good." Cao Mengde was suspicious. You should mention me in this letter, and it's better to scold. ”

Sima Yi was embarrassed, it wasn't that he didn't want to write. is afraid to write. However, with Gao Yuan's facilitation, he had to write another one.

At the same time, Gao Yuan sent another military order to Yan Rou, which roughly meant: When Cao Cao crossed the river to attack Mengjin, he resisted with all his might, and then chose the opportunity to retreat to the county town of Hanoi.

A day later.

Outside the city of Luoyang. On the south bank of the Yellow River, Cao's army camp. The Great Tent of the Chinese Army.

Cao Cao was on the top of the tent, and the martial arts were standing under the tent, he frowned, looking at the battle report sent by Sima Yi urgently. When he saw that Sima Yi scolded Gao Yuan for being despicable and shameless, crossing the river and demolishing the bridge, unloading the mill and killing the donkey, he nodded with deep feelings. He could see in the letters a strong resentment like a cunning rabbit and a dead lackey, and his suspicions were greatly reduced.

After Cao Cao read it, he raised the letter in his hand, passed it to everyone to read, and said: "Sima Zhongda, as Gao Mengyan's military advisor, will suppress the battle report, and our army will take the opportunity to storm Mengjin and catch Gao Mengyan off guard." ”

A big war is about to break out, and as a qualified commander, the strategic intention and tactical use must be clear. Therefore, Cao Cao then asked, "What do you think of this battle?" How can we make good use of Sima Zhongda? ”

Cheng Yu's eyes rolled, and he immediately went out of work, and said: "Since Sima Zhongda will suppress the battle report, then Gao Mengyan will become blind and deaf, but he can march in a hurry and attack the county town of Hanoi at night." Let Sima Yi do the inner should open the city gate, Gao Mengyan must be defenseless. ”

Everyone nodded in favor when they heard this, but Guo Jia was silent and looked at Cao Cao.

As for Cao Cao, he has repeatedly lost to Gao Yuan, and he is afraid of heights and is quite suspicious. Although he had decided to enter the army at this moment, he felt that he should still take precautions. When he saw Guo Jia's gaze, he knew that Guo Jia also thought the same.

Therefore, Cao Cao felt that he had to take precautions, shook his head and said: "This plan is not appropriate, if Gao Mengyan is on guard, wouldn't he invite you into the urn?" That was the ...... last time. Speaking of this, Cao Cao shuddered for a while, he almost died last time, and he also lost Xu Huang and Yu Ban.

Thinking of Xu Huang and Yu Ban, Cao Cao was heartbroken. He later figured out that it was because he was just rescuing Xiahou Yuan and chilling the hearts of the two generals. But he couldn't help but scold Gao Yuan for being despicable, he was a thief for this kid.

Gao Mengyan is cunning and cunning! Thinking of this, Cao Cao shook his head violently.

Jia Xu, Cheng Yu, Xun You, Xiahou Yuan and other generals, who have followed Cao Cao for many years, know that their lord is suspicious, and even his own internal response must be kept.

Since the civil war in the city has been denied, it can only be a field war.

Cao Cao always loses to Gao Yuan, which makes his advisers very self-blaming, Xun You used his brains and said, "Lord, then it's outside." Gao Mengyan will definitely go out of the city to confront our army, and at night, let Sima Zhongda burn down the barracks. Just ask the soldiers who are sleeping soundly in the middle of the night, and if they don't know what they are doing, they will definitely break up. ”

Guo Jia shook his head and said, "Gao Mengyan's training method is strange, I heard that what is the right step, even the direction of the chopsticks that the soldiers eat requires the same. ”

Jia Xu couldn't help but say: "This is an excellent method of training discipline, and the lord can learn from it." ”

Cao Cao's face sank when he heard this, and he said in his heart that he was thinking about the strategy here, how could he talk about training soldiers. But he thought about it and felt that it was a good training method. Snorted coldly and said, "Gao Mengyan can't do anything else, the ghost tricks are all over the place." The plan for the night attack was inappropriate. If Gao Mengyan's soldiers were not chaotic, he would have planned it, and wouldn't our side have been tricked instead. ”

Xiahou Yuan and the others glanced at each other. Xin said that when the lord faced Gao Mengyan, he was too careful.

However, being careful to travel the ship of ten thousand years, Cao Cao thought so, so a more secure method was needed.

At this time, Jia Xu spoke up and said, "Lord, why don't you do it." I wrote to Sima Zhongda, this person is also very capable. He was in the army of Gao Mengyan. Know more, see what he can do, the lord is making a choice. ”

Guo Jia nodded, and said in his heart that he was worthy of Lao Jia Xu. This trick took some money from the bottom of the kettle, and immediately grasped the initiative.

Cao Cao was overjoyed, and felt that this was the most stable way to deal with Gao Yuan, and slapped the table and said: "What Wen He said is very true, let Sima Zhongda figure it out by himself." When we achieve the effect we want, we will enter the army. If we don't reach it, we can get out of it. ”

Everyone glanced at each other, and they felt that Cao Cao's courage in facing lofty issues was very different from that of the previous battle. Why do you always want to protect yourself first!

However, Cao Cao still made a decision, and he wrote back to Sima Yi on the one hand, and on the other hand, on the same night. An army of 50,000 troops was mobilized and an offensive was launched against the Mengjin Ferry.

Night, night is deep.

The meeting hall in Hanoi Mansion was brightly lit, and he took Yan Rou's battle report and said to the generals: "Cao Cao launched an attack at dusk today, and I want to come." There will be news from Zhongda soon! ”

Zhang Liao got up and clasped his fists and saluted. Sonorous and powerful, "Lord, the three armies are ready, just wait for the lord's order!" ”

Zhao Yun and the others got up and said in unison: "I am willing to follow the lord and raise the prestige of our army all over the world!" ”

Gao Yuan was relieved to hear this, put down the battle report in his hand, and motioned for the generals to sit down.

At this time, Sima Yi strode out of the conference hall and said solemnly: "Lord, the news of Cao Mengde has arrived!" ”

Gao Yuan smiled, it seemed that Cao Cao had entered the pit by himself, so he said, "What did he say?" ”

Sima Yi was a little worried, "Lord, Cao Mengde did not say the timing of his march and the details of his internal response, but asked his subordinates to give him a method of internal response, and he cooperated with his subordinates to advance. ”

Gao Yuan's brows furrowed when he heard this, and his joy was gone. Obviously, Cao Mengde is not easy to deceive, this is to retreat as advance.

"Could it be that Cao Mengde saw something?" Sima Yi was even more worried. As soon as he said this, the generals in the hall were also worried.

However, Gao Yuan smiled and said: "Don't guess, I know Cao Mengde, he is just suspicious." I once heard that Cao Mengde didn't even believe in his personal attendant, and in order to prevent the attendant from getting close at night, he threatened to kill people when he was sleeping, which can be seen! ”

Subsequently, he made it easy for everyone to discuss how to "respond internally" to Cao Cao.

Xu Shu immediately came up with a safe method, "When attacking the city, open the door and dedicate the city." ”

Gao Yuan immediately sent out a detailed work to spread this "method of internal response" in the name of Sima Yi.

However, when Cao Cao received it, he immediately vetoed it. Cao Cao was also a fast horse, and returned the news, and said: "This method is not appropriate, let's think of another method." ”

It was the early morning of the next day, and along with the news of Cao Cao, there was also the news that Yan Rou was preparing to retreat.

Since Cao Cao's side has not yet "communicated" well, Gao Yuan approved Yan Rou and insisted until tomorrow afternoon. Leaving with this news, there was also a detailed work that went to Cao Cao, and the news sent to Cao Cao was: "When Gao Yuan sent troops to meet the battle, he started an incident in the army, and attacked inside and outside. ”

These two internal methods are surprisingly consistent with Cao Cao's strategists' thoughts. This comes from the rebellion of the subordinates in ancient times, which is nothing more than the sacrifice of the city or the uprising in the camp.

However, Cao Cao was deeply affected by the "dedication of the city" and "the camp", and he was afraid that there would be some cups and snakes in the high school, so he was stunned and did not accept it.

So on the morning of the next day, Gao Yuan, who received Cao Cao's feedback, said in a heavy heart: "Cao Mengde doesn't accept this, he doesn't accept that, what is he doing?" Yan Rou can't hold on, could it be that Cao Mengde has seen through our plan? ”

After Gao Yuan finished speaking, he looked at Xu Shu and Sima Yi. (To be continued)
