In the Central Plains, in the camp of Cao's army in Guandu, Cao Cao got the news of Yuan Shao's defeat in the shortest possible time, and immediately gathered all the people under his command to discuss the next step of the marching strategy.

Now that the three counties in the north of Jizhou have fallen into the hands of Ao Lie, it can be said that two-thirds of Jizhou has fallen into the hands of Ao Lie, Cao Cao began to be a little anxious, he didn't want to get no benefits at all, so that Ao Lie could take over the entire Jizhou. Although under Ao Lie's control, Cao Cao had already taken half of Qingzhou from Yuan Shao, and also snatched food from the mouths of Liu Bei and Sun Ce, and won the three counties of Shangyong in the north of Jingzhou, but Cao Cao still wanted to get a piece of the pie in Jizhou, after all, Jizhou is the largest state in the Central Plains, and every county in Jizhou has amazing wealth.

Cao Cao said his meaning vaguely, expressing his desire to fight. Cao Cao's mood, everyone can understand, after all, Cao Jun and Ao Lie's Yan Army are nominally allies, if Ao Lie occupies the entire Jizhou, and Cao Cao fails to occupy even one county in Jizhou, it will be a bit of a fall, the world will say that Cao Cao is not as good as Ao Lie, sometimes, language can also kill, everyone is gold, Cao Cao does not want to bear the infamy of being a waste, otherwise it will have a far-reaching negative impact on his future ambitions.

But the wish is one thing, the reality is another. Responsible for stationing on the north bank of the Yellow River, and the Cao army confronted the chief general of the Yuan army, the trial match, strict nature, in the north ferry of Guandu dotted with a large array, the Cao army can cross all the ports that can cross the river are blocked, want to kill in Jizhou to attack the city, trial is a roadblock that needs to be solved urgently. And although there is no outstanding martial arts. But with amazing courage and extraordinary wisdom, if you want to break through the blockade line of the trial, it seems that the only way to attack is to fight hard, and you must defeat the troops of the trial in a battle, so that Cao Cao can reach out to Jizhou. In the case that the strength of the troops is almost the same, or even slightly inferior, Cao Cao knew that whoever crossed the river first in a hurry would already be at a disadvantage and attack it halfway. It can make it very easy for the judge to defeat his army. This is Cao Cao's eagerness to march. But I feel that there is nowhere to start.

After a short silence, Guo Jia, who was praised as a ghost talent by Cao Cao, stood up and said: "My lord, the shrinkage defense and key defense of the trial are like a solid turtle shell. It will be difficult for our army to bite through it. But the stronger the fortress. tends to fall apart from within. We should find a way to defeat this fortress from within the Yuan army and gnaw away the turtle shell of the Yuan army. ”

The affairs of the three counties of Jingzhou were temporarily handed over to Xiahoudun to be managed. Cao Ren, who returned to Cao Cao's side, asked, "We are not immortals, how can we make Yuan Jun's internal problems arise?" Could it be that a casual blow can blow away the 130,000 Yuan troops on the north shore? ”

Cao Cao's other great strategist, Xi Zhicai, spoke: "Zixiao (Cao Ren's character) General, Fengxiao doesn't mean that. According to Zhong (the name of the drama is Zhong), Fengxiao should refer to Yuan Tan's second ancestor. Perhaps, he can become a key to the victory of our army. ”

After listening to Xi Zhicai's explanation, Cao Ren became even more confused, and asked puzzledly: "Yuan Tan is Yuan Shao's eldest son, how could he turn his elbow outward and send the 130,000 Yuan troops on the north bank into dire straits?" ”

Cao Cao suddenly laughed and said: "Zixiao, you, your mind is like a javelin, straight and upright without flexibility, on the battlefield, when the two armies are facing each other, you can certainly charge into battle, kill the enemy, and the ability to arrange troops and grasp the fighter is not bad, but when it comes to strategizing, you are far worse than Fengxiao and Zhicai, the minds of the two of them are simply the Yellow River with nine winds and winds, which can throw you out of eighteen streets, you should ask them for advice in the future." ”

Turning his head to look at Guo Jia, Cao Cao smiled and said, "Fengxiao, are you already confident?" Guo Jia smiled back, and said very confidently: "Lord, Yuan Tan, like his younger brothers, are all well-known gentlemen, it is not difficult to make such a gentleman fooled, the lord only needs to send five dead soldiers to Jia, Jia can make Yuan Tan frightened, cross the trial, and withdraw the Yuan army arranged on the various defense lines, maybe, you can also use this to provoke the contradiction between Yuan Tan and the trial, and the command of the trial will be hollowed out." Speaking of this, Guo Jia was suddenly silent for a moment, and the smile on his face disappeared, replaced by a firm look, and continued solemnly: "Don't worry, lord, this time, Jia will definitely not mess things up again." ”

Guo Jia's last sentence made the civil and military under Cao Cao feel very puzzled, and they don't know what happened to Guo Jia, who has always been clever. Others don't know what to do, but Cao Cao knows very well that Guo Jia has been blaming himself for not succeeding in assassinating Sun Ce. However, this matter is limited to Cao Cao and Guo Jia, so Guo Jia did not say anything, if this kind of words are spread out, it may immediately lead to the rupture of Ao Cao's coalition army, don't forget, Sun Ce is Ao Lie's chief disciple, in the Yan army, Sun Ce's soldiers and horses Governor Zhou Yu led an army of 30,000 to help in the war, and the relationship between Ao Lie and Sun Ce is obviously very solid. Once the alliance is broken, then Cao Cao will really not be able to get the slightest benefit in Jizhou, and he will set up a strong enemy like Ao Lie for himself, which will really outweigh the losses.

For Ao Lie, Cao Cao, who now holds four and a half states and has more than 300,000 soldiers and horses under his command, is still quite jealous, Cao Cao clearly knows that between himself and Ao Lie, sooner or later there will be a battle, and the winner is the new spokesperson of the Han Dynasty, and the loser, needless to say, must be put in with his life. Before he was fully prepared, Cao Cao didn't want to start a war with Ao Lie.

Nodding to Guo Jia very tacitly, Cao Cao didn't mention the assassination of Sun Ce, but asked, "How sure are you?" Guo Jia calculated carefully, and then replied: "At least sixty percent." ”

Hearing Guo Jia's answer, Cao Cao said with a smile: "The two armies are facing each other, you can do everything, this divisive plan, not to mention that there is a sixty percent certainty, even if there is a one-percent certainty, you can also try it, Ao Mohan doesn't often say, wealth and wealth are in danger, this risk is worth taking." Zixiao, in the Tiger Guard, selected five skilled martial arts and clever soldiers. Leave it to Bonghyo to arrange the arrangement. ”

At this moment, Cao Rencai understood Guo Jia and Xi Zhicai's intentions, it turned out that they wanted to assassinate Yuan Tan, to knock on the mountain and shock the tiger, provoke the fear in Yuan Tan's heart, and then withdraw the Yuan army stationed at various ferries to his side to strengthen the protection of himself. Once the deployed Yuan army withdraws, even if it is only two or three crossings, there will be a hole in the strong defense line arranged by the trial, and the time comes. There is an opportunity on your own side.

After coming to his senses. Cao Ren hurriedly agreed, and then gave Yan Liang and Wen Chou a color, and the three of them saluted Cao Cao and walked out of the Chinese army's tent side by side. It is true that Cao Ren is the chief general of the Chinese army. But Yan Liang and Wen Chou are the main and deputy commanders of the Tiger Guard. As the elite unit of the Cao Army on the same level as the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry. The Tiger Guards also bear the heavy responsibility of protecting Cao Cao's safety, and belong to Cao Cao's personal guards, so even Cao Ren selects elite soldiers from the Tiger Guards. It must also be carried out by the presence of good faces and ugly people.

That night, the five elite dead soldiers of the Tiger Guards took advantage of the night to change into Yuan Jun's clothes and armor, and quietly entered Yuan Jun's back camp. Yuan Tan is an authentic second ancestor, in terms of being in the limelight, grabbing credit, and fighting wine and hunting, he is a good hand, but when it comes to leading troops to fight, he will become a complete coward, therefore, Yuan Tan chose the rear camp farthest from the front line as his temporary comfort nest, and the trial of the commander-in-chief of the three armies can only turn a blind eye to this, without Yuan Tan's trouble, he even has some unbegging for it.

Because of the relationship between Yuan Tan, the entire Yuan army camp did not have the slightest sense of tension about the imminent war, but it was a bit like going out to play, a scene of singing and dancing, even in the middle of the night, there were still the sound of silk and bamboo and the laughter of the singer, transmitted from the back camp. The loose defense gave the five Cao Jun dead soldiers an excellent opportunity, they infiltrated Yuan Tan's big tent, pulled out their short knives and slashed indiscriminately, killing more than a dozen singers and musicians one after another, blood splashed everywhere, but none of them really slashed Yuan Tan's body. Even so, Yuan Tan, who was frightened, still let out a howl like killing a pig, as if he had been stabbed by thousands of knives on his body, and even fainted in excessive fright.

When Yuan Tan woke up from his coma and saw that his big tent was in a mess, full of corpses and bloodstains, he couldn't help but let out a scream that was not like a human again, so that he could not faint for the second time. Under the persuasion of a group of guards, Yuan Tan came to his senses completely, and as soon as he woke up, Yuan Tan shouted hoarsely: "Young Master Ben was almost killed by the assassin!" How does matching work? Is this how he protects his master? Go, take the token of this young master, and go to the front line to send 30,000 elite soldiers back, this young master's life is very valuable. In Yuan Tan's tone, as the commander of the three armies, he was just a slave of his Yuan family.

Standing up calmly, Yuan Tan took out the steel knife on the waist of his guard, and towards the five Cao Jun elites who had died, it was a burst of indiscriminate chopping, eager to chop the five people who threw him into the face into meat sauce, completely ignoring the fact that what was now in front of him was just five corpses that were already dead and could not die again. Some distorted and perverted psychology made Yuan Tan fall into boundless madness. In the end, even the guards who had long been accustomed to Yuan Tan's bizarre behavior couldn't bear to look directly at his whipping behavior, and turned their eyes and looked away.

The next day, as soon as it was dark, the three 10,000-strong troops that had been assigned to the ferry port on the north shore appeared in Yuan Tan's rear camp. No way, although the trial is the main general, and has repeatedly emphasized that without his order, no one is allowed to leave his post without permission, but the general order that can be reviewed is no bigger than Yuan Tan's token, in the Yuan army, who doesn't know that Yuan Shao is the most spoiled heir? offended Yuan Tan, do they still expect good fruit to eat? The destruction of the future is considered light, and maybe Yuan Shao's head will be cut off directly.

Yuan Tan's absurd move immediately caused different reactions from the two people. Cao Cao on the south bank was very happy about this, and immediately took advantage of the Yuan army's withdrawal, and the follow-up troops had not had time to carry out the second defense, so that Guo Jia and Xi Zhicai stayed in the camp, and personally led 50,000 troops as the main force, Cao Ren led 10,000 troops as the left wing, and Lu Qian led 10,000 troops as the right wing, and crossed the river at the same time, the goal was to occupy the three north bank ferries abandoned by Yuan Tan.

While Cao Cao was happy, the trial was almost crazy! In order to prevent Yuan Tan from causing trouble for himself, he deliberately arranged for Yuan Tan to stay in the back camp, and he also ignored Yuan Tan's behavior of singing songs and disrupting military discipline at night, but he didn't expect Yuan Tan to cause such a big trouble for himself! It's easy to disarm, but if you want to rearm again, isn't it so simple? Not to mention that it takes a process to mobilize troops and horses, from the analysis of time alone, he already knows that it is too late to review the match, he doesn't believe that Cao Cao will let go of such an excellent opportunity, maybe, those assassins were sent by Cao Cao.

As the sky gradually brightened, very unfavorable news came one after another, first the three already empty ferries on the north bank had been occupied by Cao's army; Secondly, after gaining a firm foothold, Cao Cao waved his troops and drove straight in, and together with the troops on the left and right flanks, he broke through the defense of the other three ferries one after another; Then, the news of the loss of the entire line of the ferry crossing on the north bank came, which made the defense line of the painstaking construction collapse in an instant; This is not counting, the most desperate thing for the trial is that Cao Cao, who is deeply versed in the art of war, did not carry out any post-war rectification, led the army all the way to conquer Huaxian County, the southernmost Wei County in Jizhou, and the loss of a county seat is nothing to the huge Jizhou, but this is not just a matter of losing a county seat, Cao Cao took Huaxian into his hands, which is equivalent to having a solid base in Jizhou, and it is also equivalent to being behind the trial army, and he has hammered a nail into it, and he can unite the troops on the south bank at any time. Launch a flank attack on the army led by the judge.

By the time the army that was ready to replenish the defense was put in order, the situation had become irreparable. Silently glanced at the 30,000 army in front of him, and waved his hand weakly, and dismissed the 30,000 army that had just been assembled. Judging and knowing that the defense line on the north bank of the Yellow River has been declared aborted so far, he has lost the natural danger of the Yellow River, and there is no longer a barrier to rely on. Next, he could only shrink the defensive line and withdraw all the troops to the Guandu camp, just like Cao Cao drove a nail behind him, and the judge could only treat himself as a nail, firmly nailed to the throat of Cao Cao and the troops on the south bank of the Yellow River, waiting for Yuan Shao to send reinforcements.

Now, the judge can only pray silently, hoping that the troops he deployed at various ferries will not be killed and scattered too much by Cao Jun, otherwise, he will not even have the qualifications to be a nail. (To be continued......)
