Chapter Seventy-Six: The Strategy of Cutting Dong
The sour jujube camp of the Kwantung princes
The spring breeze blew on his face, blowing Cao Cao's beard.
A pair of wise and treacherous eyes kept rolling in their sockets. It seems to be a bottomless abyss, and no one can guess what this not tall man is thinking.
As early as when Lu Bu left Luoyang to garrison Xingyang, Cao Cao knew that Dong Zhuo had asked Lu Bu to guard the Tiger Prison Pass, the east gate of Luoyang, for him.
Cao Cao looked at the direction of the Tiger Prison Pass with dark eyes and muttered: "We have to meet in the end"
"Mengde, what do you want?"
Just when Cao Cao was deep in thought, a deep voice interrupted his thoughts, Cao Cao looked back, and when he saw the person coming, Cao Cao showed a smile: "Originally, you came." ”
Yuan Shao, as the leader of the coalition this time, was dressed quite extraordinary, only to see him in a set of ink-colored beast swallowing Pixiu serial armor, the ink-black hair was combed without mess, pinned with a golden hairpin, and his beautiful beard was obviously carefully modified, every look and every movement. It seems that they all reveal the pride of the country's unparalleled soldiers.
Seeing Cao Cao standing in the spring breeze, Yuan Shao strode forward and stood side by side with Cao Cao, and from a distance, Cao Cao was a lot shorter than Yuan Shao.
Yuan Shao looked at the steep mountain in the distance with a cold gaze, and whispered: "What are you thinking?" ”
Cao Cao didn't speak immediately after hearing this, and only after pondering for a long time did he raise his head and ask, "Do you know who is stationed in the Tiger Prison Pass?" ”
Yuan Shao didn't know why Cao Cao asked, who was stationed in the Tiger Prison Pass didn't matter to them at all, because this time the Kwantung Coalition Army raised 300,000 infantry, and for any enemy, they would annihilate it with the momentum of devastating and decaying, but since Cao Cao asked, Yuan Shao still brushed the beautiful long hair on his chin, looked into the distance with deep eyes and said uncertainly: "Li Dao and Guo Yan are fierce generals under Dong Zhuo, and the Tiger Prison Pass is so important, presumably it is Li Dao and Guo Yan who are stationed at this pass?" ”
When Cao Cao heard this, he just shook his head with a smile.
Seeing that Cao Cao denied his conjecture, Yuan Shao's eyes lowered, and he glanced at Cao Cao with his spare eyes and continued: "Could it be Hua Xiong, the first general under Dong Zhuo? ”
Cao Cao still shook his head.
Seeing Cao Cao denying his conjecture again, Yuan Shao finally put down his left hand, and then asked with both hands: "Who does Meng De think it is?" ”
Cao Cao smiled, raised his whip and pointed in the direction of the Tiger Prison Pass, and said: "The Tiger Prison Pass has been a battleground for soldiers since ancient times, Li Dao and Guo Yan bear the name of the fierce generals of Xiliang, in fact, they are the village and the wild horseman, and there is nothing to be afraid of, and although Hua Xiong is brave, but he has no strategy, Dong Zhuoan dares to hand over this Xiongguan to him?" Therefore, in addition to being brave, the people stationed in the Tiger Prison also need to have a certain amount of resourcefulness. ”
When Yuan Shao heard this, he suddenly laughed insolently, stretched out his hand and patted Cao Cao's shoulder and said with a smile: "Meng De is too worried, there is no such person in the Guanxi Liang Army. ”
Cao Cao denied it: "The Xiliang army doesn't have it, but the Bingzhou army does, didn't you forget Lu Bu at the beginning?" ”
Hearing Cao Cao mention Lu Bu, his face immediately turned cold, his eyes immediately burst out with murderous intent, and he sneered: "It's just an arrogant person, if he really doesn't measure his strength to garrison the tiger prison, he will hang his head in the capital gate." ”
Yuan Shao hated Lu Bu very much, if Lu Bu did not lead the state army to join Dong Zhuo, Dong Zhuo would not necessarily dominate the Beijing Division, then he would not necessarily flee Luoyang, maybe he would continue to be good, and finally maybe he would take over the position of his uncle and father and become the mainstay of the Yuan clan in the court, and all his good wishes were destroyed by this person named Lu Bu, so in Yuan Shao's heart, he couldn't wait to immediately cut Lu Bu with a thousand knives.
Seeing that Yuan Shao despised Lu Bu, Cao Cao immediately advised: "At the beginning, don't underestimate any enemy, I think Lu Bu is very capable of enemies, so let's be careful." ”
Cao Cao wanted to say something, but Yuan Shao immediately stretched out his hand to interrupt Cao Cao's noise, and said coldly: "Okay Mengde, I don't want to hear you say this Lu Bu, let's talk about the military situation." ”
Cao Cao saw that Yuan Shao didn't listen to his advice, he sneered in his heart, he had no plan, if you want to suffer a little loss in the hands of Lu Bu, you will know how powerful he is, and don't lose the face of your fourth and third princes when the time comes.
Although Cao Cao thought so in his heart, he had a smile on his face: "Now that we have arrived at the sour date, in addition to you and me, there are Kong Ling, Liu Dai, Zhang Miao, Zhang Chao, Qiao Mao, Yuan Yi, Bao Xin, Han Fu is still supervising the grain and grass in Yecheng, and it is estimated that he will come in the future, the highway has arrived in Nanyang Luyang, or it will arrive in a day or two, as for Ma Teng, Gongsun Zhan, and Kong Rong are on the way at this time, it is estimated that the princes of the eighteen roads will be gathered in more than half of the month." ”
Yuan Shao nodded with satisfaction, he admired and feared Cao Cao's means of controlling the overall situation. If Cao Cao is his enemy in the future, it will be a terrible enemy, if Dong has the opportunity to kill Cao Cao this time, he will not hesitate to get rid of this childhood playmate, compared to the world, even if Cao Cao is his own brother, he will not hesitate to raise the butcher knife.
Yuan Shaowei pursed his lips and asked tentatively: "What good plan does Meng Deke have?" ”
Although there are more than 300,000 troops, Dong Zhuo also has 200,000, if he fights hard, it will also be a job to kill a thousand enemies and lose 800 himself.
Cao Cao stroked his short hair, his wise eyes flashed a glimmer of essence, and then he spoke: "The art of war has clouds:" Ten are encircled, five are attacked, and the enemy is divided, and the enemy can fight, and now the coalition army is twice as large as the Xiliang army, and the Xiliang people have been fierce since ancient times, and the soldiers from wherever they are war-loving maniacs, therefore, if we want to win, we must fight to the death, but we can turn disadvantages into advantages, I heard that the original account under the master Bo Chen Lin, wrote a good hand, Why didn't Chen Lin use the name of the Three Princes to draft a text to encourage the world? At that time, I am afraid that in addition to you and me, I believe that more princes will respond, and then we will be five times the enemy, or even ten times the enemy. ”
Cao Cao's eyes flashed and continued: "At that time, the people in Hanoi were originally in the introduction of Mengjin and Suojube, and the generals would stick to Chenggao, according to Aocang and Saiyuan Dagu, and control its danger, and the highway was stationed in Danxi with the troops of Nanyang, and entered Wuguan to shock the three auxiliaries, and everyone was deep and high, and Dong Zhuo and Lu Bu were not at war with the suspicious soldiers, and showed Dong Zhuo the situation in the world, so as to be able to kill Dong Thief smoothly. ”
I have to say that Cao Cao's plan for Yuan Shao is a superior strategy, but unfortunately Yuan Shao did not follow Cao Cao's words in the end, but after breaking the tiger prison, he did not move forward, giving up the best time to kill Dong thief, and finally Cao Cao wrote a poem "Pen Li Xing" in disappointment, completely turning this capable minister of the world into a traitor in troubled times, but all this is just a later story.
