Chapter 326: Guandu (16)

Maybe it's really as Lu You said: the mountains and rivers are full of doubts, and the willows and flowers are bright and another village. Just when Cao Cao and Du Chen had a headache about this matter, Xu You did have other thoughts in his heart, although history has undergone a lot of changes under the influence of Du Chen, but sometimes fate cannot be changed by manpower.

At the beginning, Xu You was indeed quite powerful under Yuan Shao, but with the Battle of the White Horse, Xu You completely lost his trust with Yuan Shao, and Xu You may still have some opportunities when Liyi has not yet risen, but now that Liyi covers the sky with one hand, Xu You's life has obviously become very difficult.

At this time, Xu You can also see through Yuan Shao's situation here, when you gain power, you are surrounded by the jealousy of the villain, but when you lose power, there are countless people who fall into the well, this feeling of fighting for power makes Xu You feel very tired.

For Xu You, he doesn't yearn for a life of fighting for power, Xu You just likes to collect money, and the reason why he fights for power is just to make it more convenient for him to collect money.

Although Yuan Shao didn't blame himself too much, Xu Yu is such a smart person obviously knows that Yuan Shao has lost trust in him, and very importantly, all his family members have been brought to justice, but the fire has not yet spread to himself.

He has lost his trust in Yuan Shao, and his desire to collect money has obviously come to naught, and now it's time to think of some other ways, otherwise he will definitely not have any future under Yuan Shao.

Thinking about it, Xu You naturally thought of Cao Cao, although Cao Cao had Du Chen covering the sky with one hand, but Xu You knew that Du Chen was obviously not a person who could not tolerate people.

Moreover, Xu You obviously knows. Today's Cao Jun is in dire straits, if he helps Cao Jun at this moment, then his position will inevitably rise because of this, as the so-called, the icing on the cake is a small matter, but sending charcoal in the snow will definitely make Cao Jun remember his own life. It's definitely a good thing for yourself.

Moreover, Cao Cao is still his best friend, no matter what he says, Cao Cao will not embarrass himself too much, not to say that he will definitely reuse, but at least he will not let himself die,

With a decision in his heart, Xu You began to prepare, although he was not trusted by Yuan Shao. But Xu You still knows a lot of private things in the Yuan army, especially one very important point, that is, Xu You accidentally learned the location of Yuan Jun's grain storage.

This matter has always been entrusted to Koji Yi, and Koji is obviously a very cautious person, hiding the grain very secretly, but he didn't see it inadvertently. Xu You learned about the location of Koyi's grain storage, and he also sent someone to confirm the matter. There is nothing false about this.

In order to secretly hide the food, Koji Yoshishi obviously did not send too many generals to guard it, and this is definitely an opportunity, a turning point.

With such a big bargaining chip, Xu You was confident that he could gain Cao Cao's trust and be entrusted with an important task from Cao Cao. Xu You smiled secretly in his heart, as long as this plan can be successful, Cao Jun will definitely be able to achieve the final victory in this battle.

However, now is not a great opportunity, in my own calculations. Cao Cao obviously did not reach the point of exhaustion, and now although Cao Cao's situation is quite dangerous, he obviously did not break his bones, so the more he appears in a time of crisis, the more he can reflect his own value of existence.

Du Chen didn't know that quietly, things had taken an unexpected turn, these days, Cao Jun's situation has obviously become more and more difficult, he used to have three meals, but now it has changed from three meals to two meals and one soup.

In this regard, although the soldiers in the Cao army had some complaints, but fortunately, there were Cao Cao and Du Chen, two high-ranking and powerful people, who could suppress the situation, and the Cao army had experienced a lot of arduous battles, but such a difficult situation, Cao Jun obviously had not experienced it.

Cao Jun's lack of food somewhat made Cao Jun, who had experienced a hundred battles, feel a little fluctuating in his heart, and Du Chen obviously had no solution except for hard persuasion, even if he was smart and world-famous, where would he conjure up enough grain and grass for the soldiers to use.

Cao Jun has nearly 30,000 troops, and the consumption of grain and grass is obviously a huge number, and he is indeed very troubled, but for Du Chen, he is obviously not in a hurry as Xun Yu, after all, he is in charge of the rear, and every grain and grass dispatch has to pass through his hands, and he is obviously more anxious than himself.

But although Du Chen was anxious, the fighter plane did not change at all, and Yuan Jun obviously knew that the Cao army was in a crisis now, and they continued to send troops to provoke the Cao army, and the Cao army was not afraid to fight, but the two sides obviously won and lost each other.

The combat effectiveness of the Cao army is indeed very strong, but without the support of sufficient physical strength, so if the battle is long, it is obviously difficult for the Cao army to support, and the lack of sufficient food and grass has caused the morale of the Cao army to plummet, coupled with the fact that the war is not going well, the morale of the Cao army is obviously even more sluggish.

Helpless, in addition to these two words, Du Chen obviously didn't know how to describe his mood, watching Cao Jun's soldiers become more and more cowardly, Du Chen really didn't know how to solve it, he had never tried such a helpless feeling.

Over the years, Du Chen has also led his troops to fight a lot of battles, he has always been named the god of war by the soldiers of the Cao army, and the battles led by him are almost all victorious, but this time, he really has no way, and Du Chen also feels that the donkey skills are exhausted.

Today's Du Chen is no longer full of confidence in the past, he has a solemn expression on his face for a long time, and the soldiers of the Cao Army rarely see the confidence of the Taiwei in the past, which makes the soldiers of the Cao Army, who were not very morale very strong, even more unwilling to fight.

It was already night, Du Chen was lying on the bed and couldn't sleep, but suddenly there was news outside the tent, saying that Cao Cao called him to discuss matters, Du Chen was slightly stunned, he couldn't think of why Cao Cao suddenly called himself to discuss matters, could it be that there was something wrong here.

Du Chen hurriedly turned over and got out of bed, and then got up and walked towards Cao Cao's camp, Du Chen soon arrived at Cao Cao's camp, and Cao Cao was standing with his hands in his hands, and Cao Cao heard some noise at the door, hurriedly turned his head, and just saw Du Chen, whose face was a little pale.

Although under the dim light, Cao Cao could still see Du Chen's slightly pale face, Cao Cao frowned slightly, obviously, he knew that Du Chen had obviously not slept well in the past few days, but Cao Cao also shook his head, he was no better than Si Lang, what way to say to others.

"I don't know what Meng De is so anxious about." Seeing Cao Cao, Du Chen hurriedly asked, obviously, Du Chen was very worried about the war in front of him,

"There's something I can't hold up my mind about, so I'm calling Silang to discuss it." Cao Cao said in a deep voice, his expression was obviously a little hesitant, and Du Chen seemed to see a glimmer of hope in it, from Cao Cao's eyes, Du Chen seemed to see a trace of excitement, for yesterday, Du Chen had never seen such a look in Cao Cao's eyes.

In this regard, Du Chen's heart obviously also gave birth to Ranran's hope, although Du Chen didn't know why Cao Cao was like this, but he obviously had some decisions in his heart, there must have been something big, a major event that affected the victory or defeat of Guandu.

"Cao has a friend named Xu You, he was originally an important adviser under Yuan Shao, and now he can't get along with Yuan Shao, so he came to Yu Cao, and he brought a news, he knows Si Lang, you are looking for a place where Yuan Jun has been hoarding grain and grass for a long time." Cao Cao said with the corners of his mouth raised, but Du Chen could see that Cao Cao was obviously suppressing the excitement in his heart.

And when Du Chen heard the news, he was immediately shocked, it was obvious that God still favored Cao Jun very much, and just when Du Chen thought that he couldn't hold on, a savior appeared, just like history.

Seeing Du Chen's thoughtful expression, Cao Cao asked, "Silang, do you think this matter is not feasible?" ”

"If you want to achieve great things, you don't have to be informal." Du Chen squinted his eyes and said, now this opportunity has been waiting for Cao Jun for a long time, Du Chen will definitely not give up, "Now that the arrow is ready to fly, I have to send it, do you still think that our army still has a way out." ”

"That's what I think, it's a back-to-back battle." Cao Cao said in an extremely domineering tone, at this time, Cao Cao had obviously recovered the domineering spirit of the princes, which made Du Chen also shocked,

And Du Chen nodded simply, "Chen thinks that our army will win this battle." Du Chen was full of confidence, he knew that Cao Jun had shrunk for so long, and whether he could win it or not depended on this battle, but Du Chen believed that the victory in this battle was predictable.

Cao Cao nodded, and then said: "This battle is very important to our army, so Cao wants to personally lead the army to surprise attack the Yuan army's grain camp, and I hope Silang you can garrison the Guandu camp." ”

Although Du Chen was a little worried, he thought about it for a while, Cao Cao's strength was obviously not low, and with the protection of Xu Chu and the Seven Martial Seas, Du Chen obviously believed that Cao Cao was very safe.

Cao Cao obviously saw what Du Chen was thinking at a glance, he smiled heartily, and then said in a deep voice: "Instead of worrying about the safety of Cao, it is better to worry about your own safety, as far as you are concerned, there is no problem with you alone and ten." ”

Du Chen can be sure that Cao Cao's words are not false at all, with Cao Cao's strength, his weak body is definitely not Cao Cao's opponent, but this task must definitely put life and death out of the way, otherwise it is really difficult to succeed.

"Okay, don't worry, I'll definitely return to camp safe and sound." Cao Cao came to Du Chen's side, and then patted Du Chen's shoulder.

Cao Cao said it very easily, but in Du Chen's opinion, he seemed to have the feeling that a strong man would never return. (To be continued......)
