While Ao Lie was rejoicing in subduing Guan Yu, Cao Cao was also laughing.

Dozens of miles away from the Han army camp, in the camp where 300,000 Cao troops were stationed, Sun Gong's father and daughter were particularly eye-catching. After saying goodbye to Ao Lie, they turned around and marched in the direction of Yecheng, but unexpectedly, the spies sent by Cao Cao saw the scene of Sun Yu kissing Ao Lie's cheek, and mistakenly thought that Sun Yu was Ao Lie's woman.

The reason why Cao Cao looked at Sun Gong's father and daughter and laughed was because he had just used his old experience to easily set out her relationship with Ao Lie from Sun Yu's mouth, Cao Cao knew that Ao Lie was not a lustful person, otherwise with his respect as a regent, he would never have only three wives, that is to say, Ao Lie is a person who values love and righteousness, and the woman who can be accepted by him must be his woman, although now Sun Yu has not gone further with Ao Lie, but it is only a matter of time before he has such a weighty weight in his hand, How can Cao Cao not be overjoyed, but Cao Cao doesn't plan to use this weight for the time being, although Cao Cao is a generation of heroes, but he has his own dignity, and he will not use it unless he has no choice but to use it, unless the situation is really critical and Cao Cao is powerless to reverse it, he will use Sun Yu's life to blackmail Ao Lie to retreat, and at present, it is far from that time.

After laughing, Cao Cao suppressed his smile, stretched out his hand to Sun Yu's father and daughter, and said to Cao Ren: "Take it down, send someone to guard it, get rid of one person, and punish a battalion!" The first battalion was basically maintained at about 2,000 people in the Han Dynasty, which shows that Cao Cao attached great importance to Sun Yu.

After hearing Cao Cao's words, Sun Gong, who had long known that he had fallen into the tiger's mouth, scolded: "Cao thief! Don't think that within a few years of my father and daughter's submission to the Northern Han Dynasty, they won't be able to grow the bones of the Northern Han Dynasty! The Merchant's House. It's not all copper, if you want to kill today, you will kill, if the old man opens his mouth to beg for mercy, he will be called Hermes-Epitek in vain! It's you, you traitor, you will never end well! Sun Yu grabbed Sun Gong's arm tightly, and without saying a word, there was nothing but horror in those smart eyes. There is also an unexpected look of determination, although the time with Ao Lie is only two days, but the feeling between each other seems to have known each other for a long time, therefore, Sun Yu is ready to die for Ao Lie, the moment she saw Ao Lie for the first time, she was ready for this, and she will not regret dying.

Faced with Sun Gong's scolding. Cao Cao didn't care at all, turned his head and said to the people around him: "Let's talk about it, now Ao Lie has returned, and he has brought back tens of thousands of elites." What are we going to do? ”

Xiahoudun stepped forward and said loudly: "Ao Lie has nothing to be afraid of!" At the beginning, he stepped on the company camp alone and killed dozens of generals of our army, and this shame has not been reported to this day. A certain person asked to be the vanguard of the army, and the new and old hatreds were sorted out! ”

Sima Yi immediately retorted: "It's not proper! Ao Lie is brave and witty. The subordinates and generals are all handsome for a while, and it is never advisable to attack strongly! In a certain opinion, the second battle can be outwitted, and it cannot be defeated. ”

Xiahou Yuan stood beside his brother Xiahoudun and asked Sima Yi rhetorically: "Zhongda, how do you say you can outwit?" Previously, our army and the Han army confronted each other for more than 20 days, but they failed to lure Xu Huang out, do you think Ao Lie is not as good as Xu Huang? ”

Sima Yi's eyes suddenly faintly shot out two fine lights, and then disappeared, raised his head and said in an orderly manner: "At this time and that time, Xu Huang's troops were equivalent to our army before, and they occupied a favorable location, so they naturally had to fight steadily and steadily, and such tactics were also in line with Xu Huang's character." But now that Ao Lie is here, with Ao Lie's character, defense is never his original intention, Yi has done a special study on Ao Lie, this person advocates offense, believes that offense is the best defense, according to the current situation of the enemy and us, I am afraid that the roles between each other will be changed, Ao Lie will definitely attack, then our army simply come to a defensive strategy, wait for the Han army to have a flaw, and then give it a fatal blow. ”

On the side of the general, Cao Chun asked puzzledly: "Ao Lie is extremely witty, and with the assistance of thinkers such as Feng Xiao Pang Tong, how can he easily expose his flaws to us?" ”

Sima Yi smiled: "There is no chance, then let us create an opportunity." Don't forget, the reason why Xu Huang's department was able to fight against our army for dozens of days was because his army had enough grain and grass, and he was not afraid of consumption at all, but with Ao Lie's turnaround, the Han army instantly had more than 70,000 mouths, plus their war horses, the daily consumption of people eating horses and chewing is a lot of expenses, and there may not be any problems in a few days, but Yi dares to conclude that within half a month, the Han army will definitely have the problem of insufficient grain and grass, even if Ao Lie collects grain and grass from other places from now on, It is absolutely impossible for the logistics troops to send supplies within half a month, so between the next ten days and half a month, it will be an excellent opportunity for our army to defeat the Han army. ”

When he said this, Sima Yi seemed confident, and he didn't seem to put the world-famous phoenix chick Pang Tong in his eyes at all, and his sharp eyes, like an eagle soaring for nine days, were full of the meaning of looking down in them.

Seeing Sima Yi's expression. Cao Cao suddenly felt uneasy in his heart, many years ago, Sima Yi was already famous, and Cao Cao also knew Sima Yi's talent, knowing that he was a rare talent, but for so many years, Cao Cao has not reused Sima Yi, just because Cao Cao felt that Sima Yi had the posture of looking at the wolf with an eagle, such a person is a double-edged sword, if used well, it can make the country as stable as a rock, but if you are not careful, you may be cut by this double-edged sword, like the legend, there is a scene of a fierce sword killing the master.

Cao Cao didn't want Sima Yi to take advantage of this opportunity to fight with the Han army to show too much talent, so Cao Cao pretended to say in a deep voice: "Zhongda's words are very reasonable, but what Miao Cai said can't be wrong, after all, Ao Lie is not an ordinary opponent, we should still fight steadily." In this way, after Gu thinks about it carefully, let's make a decision. ”

Sima Yi was stunned, he didn't expect his strategy to be shelved by Cao Cao, in Sima Yi's opinion, his suggestion is the only strategy that can defeat the Han army with a little certainty, once he misses the opportunity when the food and grass in the Han army camp is scarce, and wants to defeat the Han army, it is really a fool's dream. Sima Yi didn't believe that Cao Cao couldn't see this clearly, Cao Cao did this, obviously because he didn't trust himself too much, and he didn't want to take the opportunity to sit big. With a sigh in his heart, Sima Yi didn't say anything more, and like other civil and military officials, he saluted Cao Cao, and then walked out of the big tent backwards.

In the next half a month, Cao Cao followed the first half of Sima Yi's suggestion to hold on to the camp of the Cao army, and arranged the 300,000 army like an iron wall, so that Ao Lie, who advocated attacking, felt that he had nowhere to start, and forced Ao Lie to come to the Cao army camp every day to challenge, but he never got any response from Cao Jun. Just when Ao Lie was secretly worried that Cao Cao would launch a counterattack in the next few days, when the Han army was short of food and grass, Cao Cao made an unexpected decision, he did not follow Sima Yi's second half of the suggestion, but continued to stick to the camp, but only sent a large number of scout horses every day to spy on the movements of the Han army.

Of course, in addition to Cao Cao's distrust of Sima Yi, Ao Lie's camouflage of the Han army at the suggestion of Pang Tong was also another important factor that led Cao Cao not to act rashly. Ao Lie ordered the Han army to dig smokeless stoves as usual, cutting off the Cao army spies to judge the reality of the grain and grass in the Han military camp through the observation of cooking smoke, and at the same time Ao Lie asked Zhang Fei to temporarily lead the tiger warriors who only ate one-third of the usual food, and took the saved food to the blood killing army to eat, and then Ao Lie took the blood killing army to Cao Jun camp every day to challenge, creating an illusion that the Han army was not short of food for the Cao army, and finally under the action of multiple factors, the Han army finally passed the most dangerous days. Safely and soundly, I waited for the arrival of the follow-up grain and grass supply.

When Cao Jun's spies passed the news of the arrival of the Han army's grain and grass supply troops to Cao Cao, Cao Cao regretted it and secretly blamed himself for not following Sima Yi's advice. But this kind of remorse, Cao Cao is not superficial, as a monarch, even if Cao Cao knows that his decision-making has been wrong, he will never admit his mistakes, know his mistakes, correct his mistakes, and do not admit his mistakes, this is the truest portrayal of Cao Cao.

But when Cao Cao asked Sima Yi for advice again, Sima Yi had no way to save the battle, after all, the best time to attack had been missed, the fighter was fleeting, and if you couldn't grasp the opportunity, the opportunity would not favor you again. Therefore, Sima Yi could only suggest that Cao Cao continue to hold on to prevent the Han army from cutting off the grain route on his side under the leadership of Ao Lie, otherwise, the 300,000 Cao troops who went out this time would be in danger.

At the same time that Cao Cao couldn't come up with a better way to deal with it, he could only continue to hold on, and at the same time, there were some changes in the Han army, for more than half a month, Ao Lie, who had to come to Cao's army camp every day to challenge, suddenly did not come, because the Han army also needed to be repaired at the moment, and the Han army who had been hungry for seven or eight days needed to go through at least three days of nutritional supplementation before they could fully recover their combat effectiveness. To ensure that colleagues who have suffered from hunger can recover with peace of mind.

As a result, the two sides fell into a strange calm, entrenched in their respective camps without incident, looking at each other from a distance every day, but never sparked, but every soldier could have a hunch in his heart that the current calm was just a short calm before the storm was coming, and once the balance was broken, the two sides were bound to be endless, and at that time, I don't know how many soldiers would be buried in the battlefield......
