Chapter 197: Cao Cao's Offer
It would have been a good plan to divert the troubled water to the east, but who knew that it would be good water to lead it out, but he kept the troubled water to himself.
After knowing this, Huangfu Song was also very depressed, as uncomfortable as eating a fly, but he was helpless. After all, according to his letter, once successful, Bo Cai will inevitably send people north to rescue, and he must send his most powerful subordinates to rescue, it must be Fang Yun.
But on this basis, he himself also has the qualifications to go north to rescue. It's just that he, as a Qu Shuai, should have followed the most basic strategy, waited for the order to march in Changshe, and then attacked Luoyang with other troops, but now he rushed north like this, wouldn't it destroy the strategy set by Zhang Jiao at the beginning?
I thought that Bo was Zhang Jiao's disciple, and he would definitely not do such a thing that violated the basic strategy, so the one who went north must be Fang Yun. But in fact, such a thing still happened, Bo Cai went north, Fang Yun stayed, and he didn't know what to do now.
When he was struggling, he didn't want the guards to report: "Report to the marshal, Cao Cao has escorted a large number of military rations back!" ”
Huangfu Song suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, this Cao Cao is a rare leader of the younger generation, in terms of talent, he is much more clever than his nephew Huangfu Li, maybe he came over for details.
He called for his own soldiers and summoned Cao Cao, and soon a sharp man walked into the tent under the leadership of his personal guards.
At this moment, Cao Cao is only twenty-nine years old, which is the age of forging ahead. In his early years, when he was the captain of the northern part of Luoyang, he set up a five-color rod and killed the staff who knew the law and broke the law. but offended his nephew, the eunuch Jian Shuo. After that, there were many bumps. But he is also trying to save this rotten man. So far, the blood has not cooled.
"Marshal, this time Meng De finally got a large amount of military food in Luoyang, which is enough for our army for three months, and if you think that these three months are enough, it is enough for us to break the yellow scarf of the Changshe Society!" Cao Cao entered the account and first reported on his own work.
"Haha, Ben Shuai already knows, it's really hard Mengde!" Huangfu Song kindly lured him in. As for the so-called 'dried meat' before, they didn't take the initiative to mention it.
"The subordinates are responsible for supervising the transportation of military rations, and everything is just their duty." Cao Cao modestly returned, sharp does not mean that he does not understand accidents.
"Duty, you're so right! If those Yellow Turban thieves knew their duty, they wouldn't have so much to do! Huangfu Song suddenly showed a bitter face again.
"I don't know what happened to the Yellow Turban Thief, if the marshal can trust his subordinates, maybe they can discuss it?" Cao Cao knew that Huangfu Song was in trouble and was waiting to jump out, so a wisher also took the bait.
"That's ......," Huangfu Song was waiting for Cao Cao to take the bait. Since he was so knowledgeable, he also told the situation.
"It's really a big one. Troublesome. But I don't know what the situation is in the Yellow Turban Camp now? Cao Cao frowned, but immediately raised his head and asked.
"They gouged out the eyeliner all around, and we had no way of knowing the specific situation in the camp. If you want to find out what is going on inside, I'm afraid you have to use the 'dark blade'......" Huangfu Song looked at Cao Cao.
The Xiahou clan is the descendant of Xiahou Ying, but the real reason why today's people can't bully them is in this 'dark blade'. The family has this kind of private army, this is something that everyone knows, even the Han Emperor is not exempt from vulgarity, after all, his predecessor was so confused and hung up.
Xiahou Clan's 'Dark Blade' has been operated and cultivated for a hundred years, each of them is the elite of the elite, and he is also absolutely loyal to the Xiahou Clan, and he is the most trustworthy arm of the Xiahou Clan, and his strength can be in the top three in the Han Dynasty.
The Huangfu Song family also has such an institution, but it is not the opponent of the dark blade at all. The main reason for mentioning that organization at this moment is to hope that Cao Cao, who was originally from the Xiahou family but was later passed on to the great eunuch Cao Teng, can help mobilize the people of this institution and help him find out about the situation in the Yellow Turban Camp.
"The subordinates have been passed on to the Cao clan since their father's generation, and the Xiahou clan's 'dark blade' could not be mobilized...... Fortunately, this expedition, the ancestor of the Xiahou clan was worried about the safety of his subordinates, so he gave his subordinates three dark blades. Cao Cao said.
"If he can find out the truth of the enemy's army, he will succeed in the future, and this marshal will definitely vigorously protect Meng De to His Majesty!" Huangfu Song also gave his own price, in fact, he knew that it was to protect the Han Emperor, and it was better to say that it was to protect the ten permanent servants.
"Then, please wait a moment, General." Cao Cao nodded, took his leave, and left.
After a while, he came back again, obviously under orders, but it was not so fast to get accurate information.
Nothing can be done without accurate information, and it is not enough to rush at this time, and hasty actions often lead to the failure of the entire strategy. After all, war is like this, the main thing is to look at the result, and it doesn't matter if you lose a hundred battles during this period.
Subsequently, at the suggestion of Cao Cao, Huangfu Song also sent scouts, even if they resisted, they had to find out where they went. Of course, this is not something that can be known now, and we have to wait.
Time passed little by little, and the day went by like this.
It was not until noon the next day that the scouts came back to report, saying that they had indeed seen a large number of troops advancing towards the north, and the traces were very obvious. However, they couldn't get too close, and the other side was very well defended.
Cao Cao also came to report for the first time, saying that after a night of investigation, he learned that the main camp of the Yellow Turban seemed to have changed back to that sloppy situation, and the discipline of the entire army was very loose, and even standing guard was very lazy.
"Dashuai, you must be the one who went north is Bo Cai, not Fang Yun?" Cao Cao raised his own questions.
If the information is correct, the discipline of the Yellow Turban's main camp should have been rectified after Fang Yun arrived. And now the situation in the camp seems to have completely returned to the situation before Fang Yun arrived, so no one can doubt it.
It's just that what makes him most depressed is that even if it's a dark blade, there is no way to thoroughly check the other party's situation, and only one of the three dark blades who went to investigate the situation came back in the end. The other two tried to dig deeper into the camp. It didn't come back.
in this world. The only ones who can find the Dark Blade and get rid of them are one or two forces. At least Cao Cao had always thought so before, but now it seems that this yellow turban thief still has some means.
However, this made him even more curious, why is there such a scattered military camp and such a strong means of defense? That in itself doesn't make sense, it feels so different from what you see outside!
Now the only thing that is certain is. One army went north, in the name of Bocai; The Yellow Turban Thief returned to a casual situation, but it was said that it should be Fang Yun who stayed behind, not Bo Cai; There seems to be something special in the camp where any prying eyes are not allowed at all......
Gathering information one by one, picking out the most useful things in it, and then analyzing it, this may be the final result, and it is also the closest to the real situation.
"Dashuai, maybe it's not Bo Cai who is going north, but Fang Yun! The other party went north under the banner of Bocai. The specific purpose will need to be determined by subsequent intelligence gathering, but it is not necessarily impossible to make a false northward trip. Draw us into the strategy of attacking the main camp.
Perhaps for them, it is the most advantageous way to solve us first and then go north together. It's just that due to the lack of information at hand, this can only be regarded as a possibility, and it is not known how it is. Cao Cao expressed his opinion.
"If the other party's target is us, then why are they going north?" Huangfu Song didn't think about this possibility, but it was a fact that the other party went north, and he also took away all the family camps.
You must know that the families of many of the Yellow Turban Thieves are on the side of the family camp, if it is Fang Yun instead of Bo Cai who leaves, those Yellow Turban soldiers who stay behind are willing to see their families leave them?
"I can't rule out the possibility of a real trip north, but it's also possible that it's all or nothing to lure us in. They can even let the people in the camp fool us, and go back to the main camp themselves...... That's why the subordinates said that the follow-up information must be in place, otherwise it will be difficult to know their true intentions. Cao Cao arched his hand back.
"Ben Shuai understands, then let's do this first, formulate the following future strategies according to the two situations, and save too much time to think about it from the beginning." Huangfu Song thought for a while and proposed.
"As you wish!" Cao Cao also just wanted to say that.
The two discussed various situations for a long time, and Jiang Ren also participated in the discussion inside, during which Xiao Jiang Gan, who came over with his father to see the knowledge, also probed his brain, and showed adoring eyes to the three people who participated in the discussion.
The young man has a plot of worshipping heroes, and the heroes in the book and the story were too far away in the past, but the three people in front of him were the closest heroes to him at that time, and the husband should be like this!
"Fire attack?" In the end, Huangfu Song's voice couldn't help but be a little higher.
"Originally, it was planned to be used again at the end of summer when the north wind began to blow, the Yellow Turban Thieves camp was built on the forest, with high concealment but also great risk, coupled with the information obtained before, the camp was chaotic, and it was difficult to effectively evacuate if it was attacked by fire, and the damage caused would be greater." Cao Cao confessed frankly that he had no natural destroyer's instincts at all.
You know, he's going to burn a primeval forest in late summer and early autumn! In modern times, this thing is enough to be shot! It's just that this is ancient, and the forest is not worth much!
"It's just the beginning of summer, and there is only the southeast wind and the southwest wind, but there is no north wind!" Huangfu Song said worriedly.
"We don't necessarily need to light a fire in the north, we can light a fire in the south, and we can take advantage of the southeast wind!" Cao Cao laughed.
If it is more than 20 years later, after experiencing Chibi, he may know one thing: 'There may not be no east wind in winter, and there may not be no north wind at the beginning of summer'. But now he doesn't know that, so he can only suggest it.
"Wouldn't that burn us too?" Huangfu Song smiled bitterly.
"Our camp is not built on the forest, if necessary, dig some ditches around it, prepare more buckets in the camp, and defeat the Yellow Turban Thieves is just an easy task!" Cao Cao confidently returned.
"So, and let me think about it!" As the head coach, Huang Fu Song naturally couldn't agree hastily, and he could think about it, in fact, he had already said that this plan was very feasible.
Seeing this, Cao Cao was not reluctant and gave up. (To be continued......)
PS: Cao Cao is here! The second watch is also completed, if there are no accidents, that's it for today, thank you for watching! If it's in good shape, it will be added, but the probability is not great......
