Xu You jumped out and objected: "It's so inappropriate. Now Yuzhou is being suppressed by Huang Zhong's horse more than 200,000 cavalry, and the 1230,000 defenders are already overstretched. If Yuzhou falls, the flank and back door of the entire Huainan region will be opened, and the army commander Lu Bu will drive straight in, and the entire Huainan region will inevitably fall into a place of no return! Many civilian generals also agreed, and Cao Pi also felt a little puzzled and looked at Sima Yi.

Sima Yi said: "It is to induce Lu Bu's army to attack Yuzhou. The crowd looked puzzled.

Sima Yi hugged his fist at Cao Pi, "As Xu You said, once Yuzhou is lost, the impact on the battle situation will be extremely huge, so I simply use this as bait to worry about Lu Bujun." Once Cao Ren and Li Dian led the army to Huainan, Yuzhou was empty, and Lu Bu's army was bound to attack. However, although Ma Chao Huang Zhong's 200,000 cavalry was elite, after all, the cavalry was not good at attacking the city of Cuizhai, and if he wanted to attack Yuzhou, he would inevitably mobilize heavy troops from Xuchang to the south. ”

Since then, Xuchang has been empty, and the main force of our army set off from Chen Liuwuping at the same time to surround Xuchang. ……”

Xu You sneered: "Our army surrounds Xuchang, how can the Lu Bu army in Yuzhou not come back to help?" Once the army comes back, won't this encirclement battle be futile? ”

Sima Yi smiled and said, "It's just for them to come back!" Everyone was stunned. Sima Yi hugged his fist at Cao Pi and said: "After our army surrounded Xuchang, we only suppressed Xuchang with one force, but the rest of the army was ambushed on the road from Xuchang, Runan Road, Yuzhou......"

When everyone heard this, their eyes couldn't help but light up, and Cao Pi clapped his hands and said, "Wonderful! Coup! This is a plan to besiege the city! As long as the reinforcement army of Lu Bu's army is eliminated, the initiative on the battlefield will fall into our hands! Everyone praised one after another, but Du Xu You's face was ugly and jealous, but he had nothing to refute.

Cao Pi immediately discussed a specific strategy with the civil and military forces. The entire strategy proposed by Sima Yi can be described as impeccable, but there are two key points that are directly related to the success or failure of the entire strategy. According to Sima Yi's plan, after transferring 50,000 soldiers and horses, Yuzhou will only have 60,000 or 70,000 soldiers and horses, plus the local mobilized strong men, the total number can have a 150,000 appearance, although the number is quite a lot, but it is a big problem to resist in the face of the fierce and fierce Lu Bu army, according to Sima Yi's plan, Yuzhou must resist at least half a month to complete the strategic goal.

The second key point is whether Hefei can withstand the attack of Sun Jian's army. The original garrison of Hefei was 30,000, plus Cao Ren Li Dian's 50,000 soldiers and horses, with a total strength of 80,000, plus the local Zhuangding who had been assembled before, the total strength was 200,000. There are a lot of soldiers and horses, but the opponent is indeed a 500,000 land and water army, although Sun Jian's soldiers and horses are not as strong as Lu Bu's soldiers and horses, but after all, they are all regular military brigades, and the strength is far above the strong men who are temporarily recruited.

Xu You sneered: "Hefei, Yuzhou, if there is a mistake in any place, the whole plan will fall short!" Chao Cao Pi hugged his fist, "Lord! This plan is too risky and should be cautious! ”

Cao Pi frowned and said: "Now, if you don't take a risk, how can you turn defeat into victory?" Then he said categorically: "Just act according to Mr.'s intentions!" ”

Seeing this, Xu You hurriedly said: "In this case, it is better to gather all the strong men recruited from all over the country, go to Huainan, and besiege Sun Jian." ……”

Sima Yi categorically objected: "No! Although there are a large number of strong men recruited from all over the country, they have not received any training after all, and there are big problems with discipline and morale rehearsal battle formations, etc., and they can be used to defend the city. can only end up with a loss in vain! ”

Cao Pi thought so. Xu You secretly hated in his heart, he thought that Sima Yi was deliberately unable to get along with him.

Under the rule of the Cao family, the army was mobilized in various places, and the grain, grass, materials, and ordnance continued to converge to the front line, and all the state towns, counties, and towns were strictly guarded by the local conscripted people's army.

It was just nightfall, and a team of people and horses came to the south gate of Juancheng with a carriage. At this time, the city gates were closed, and there was silence inside and outside the city gates.

A knight rode his horse to the city gate, raised his head and shouted: "Cao Zhi Gongzi is here, open the city gate quickly!" ”

The captain of the city gate poked his head out, looked at it, and recognized that the person shouting below was indeed Cao Zhi's entourage, and saw Cao Zhi's car parked not far from the moat. The lieutenant knew that it was indeed Cao Zhi, and raised his voice: "Son, forgive me, because of the strict order of the lord, the city gate is only opened for one hour every morning and evening, and after that, anyone who does not have the leader of the lord will not be allowed to go along, and his subordinates will not dare to open the city gate without permission!" ”

In fact, he scolded: "Bastard! Who is Cao Zhigongzi, and does he also need to abide by this rule? Open the city gate quickly, or once the prince blames you, you won't be able to eat and walk around! ”

The captain was a little embarrassed, hesitated for a moment, but still didn't dare to open the city gate, and said loudly: "Please forgive me, the villain really doesn't dare to disobey the military order!" ”

Cao Zhi had already listened to what they said, got out of the car, and came to the city gate surrounded by several relatives, raised his head and scolded drunkenly: "You are just a dog of Cao Pi, and you dare to stop me!" Open the gates early, or I'll have to wait to see it!" Xiaowei said: "Please Gongzi Haihan, the villain really doesn't dare to disobey the military order!" Please go into the city tomorrow morning, the villain will kowtow and make amends! ”

Cao Zhi was furious, "You are clearly sent by Cao Pi's rebellious ministers and thieves to spy on me!" He murdered my father, did he want to kill me too! He patted his chest, "Come on!" Come and kill me! ”

The lieutenant did not dare to reply.

Seeing that Cao Zhi was open-mouthed, the entourage was afraid of causing trouble, so they hurriedly persuaded Cao Zhi back to the carriage. Cao Zhi scolded again in the car, but he couldn't enter the city after all. I had to obey the construction of an entourage, and went to the wild shop outside the city for one night, and entered the city tomorrow!

Early the next morning, Cao Zhi and his entourage entered Juancheng. The lieutenant who stopped Cao Zhi yesterday was already kneeling at the city gate. Cao Zhi saw him through the car window and hurriedly called for a stop. Get out of the car and walk up to the captain. Filled with rage, he snatched a whip from his attendant's hand, crackled at the captain's head and face, and scolded as he struck: "I will beat you disobedient brute!" I'll beat you up as a jackal who killed your father and took the throne......! ”

The entourage hurriedly stepped forward to persuade him, but Cao Zhi gave up, got into the car and left.
