Cao Cao and Cao Zhen's father and son met, and after crying with emotion, Cao Zhen described what he saw and heard in Yecheng, including the capture of the trial, the Xin brothers captured Yecheng, Yuan Shang died, Yecheng was covered by various states and counties on all sides, and the heavenly opportunity was good, and he did not take the blame, etc., all of which were narrated like Cao Cao's inverted tube, and then summoned Zang Ba to let him fully describe the abnormal movements of the Yuan army in the Liyang camp.

After saving a ton of farts and fluttering one by one, I saw that the people in the tent were either bowing their heads in contemplation, or looking up to the sky and frowning, especially Guo Jia, Cheng Yu, and Xun You, who were even more brain-blowing, and their brainstrings were advancing at a speed of eighty kilometers per second, and they were whimpering wildly.

Cao Cao was also full of hesitation and suspicion, although it was his own Guo Jia's plan to raise Xin Ping's rebellion against Yuan Shang, and his own hope for success in this matter had great expectations, but when the facts were really in front of him, the hearts of the wise men of Cao Cao's army began to beat the drum non-stop.

The black figure swayed back and forth in the camp several times, but saw Cao Cao gently knocking on the table, and said with a puzzled face: "Xin Ping succeeded in capturing Yecheng, Yuan Shang returned to save and ponder, Zidan was released, and Zang Ba was suddenly escorted back to Jizhou. ”

When the words fell, he saw Guo Jia arching his hand and said: "Don't hide it from Ming Gong, early this morning, Guo also received a letter from Xin Ping in the camp, and the content is detailed and detailed. What General Zidan said is like a withdrawal, but there is some room for credibility. ”

Cao Cao nodded when he heard this, noncommittal.

There was also Xun Yu next to him who said in response: "Qi Ming Gong, since today, Liyang Yuan Xi, Tian Feng, and frustrated. Although Zhang He and others still sent troops to attack the camp, the frequency gradually increased, but the momentum was obviously not as good as before. It's a bit of a bluff, pretending to leave, and then coming back after a while. I suspect that the Liyang camp is now in turmoil, and Tian Feng and the others are just deliberately increasing the number of times they come to call for battle in order to hide people's eyes, and they want to retreat but have no way out, I am afraid that it is the time of dilemma. ”

Cao Cao nodded when he heard this, and suddenly said with a smile: "Having said that, how can the doubts in my heart still not be exhausted, how can I be helpless?" ”

This time, it was none other than the old man Cheng Yu who answered Cao Cao. But seeing this old tough guy pulling his beard fiercely, he said with a sneer: "If the Ming Duke is jealous, why don't you send troops to attack the Liyang camp of the Yuan army, watch its formation, and watch its camp." What about giving it a try? ”

Cao Cao nodded when he heard this, and said, "Good!" ”

Outside Liyang City, Yuan Jun camp.

At this moment, all the Yuan troops, under the command of the coach Yuan Xi, packed up their baggage, and took their luggage. The three armies are mighty, and they have the intention of collecting troops and returning.

It happened that Sima Yi came back from the camp of the senior cadres to discuss the military discussion, and when he saw this situation, he couldn't help but be startled, and hurriedly rushed to the tent to ask to see Yuan Xi.

"Subordinate Sima Yi, see Youzhou Mu!"

Yuan Xi still looked honest and honest, his eyes flashed, he raised his head with a clatter, saw Sima Yi, and said sullenly: "It turned out to be Mr. Sima, you are not in the Bingzhou military camp to assist your cousin, why did you run back to Liyang again?" ”

Sima Yi was not tactful when he heard this, and said bluntly: "Yuan Youzhou, when the lord left the camp, didn't we all discuss it, if you want to lead Cao Cao to the bait, you must put on a desperate battle, in order to seek death and be defeated, lead Cao Jun to the bait and ambush, and now Cao Cao is still going to attack, but you ordered the three armies to retreat, this is not to make it clear that you violated the military order when the lord left, once there is a change, the plan can not be implemented, don't you have a big incident!?" ”…,

When Yuan Xi heard this, he blinked his eyes, sighed, and said: "Although it is feasible to be ruined to lead Cao Cao to the bait in order to seek death, it is a plan to hurt the enemy by a thousand and fold eight hundred, how precious is the life of my Hebei soldiers, and it cannot be lost in this kind of thing, I mean, it is better to retreat and lead Cao Cao to take the bait!" The result is all the same! ”

Sima Yi stomped his feet and said angrily: "Yuan Youzhou, what you say is different, although now we are pretending that Yecheng was broken and the lord was ambushed and killed, but now there are many wise men in our army who are fighting against Cao Cao, if he retreats so easily, how can he not be easily ambushed in terms of the art of war, who is Cao Cao?" Can't even see this drawback! I'm afraid that when the time comes, I will inevitably miss a big thing! ”

Yuan Xi thought for a moment when he heard this, then nodded deeply and said, "Mr. Sima, what you said does have some truth!" ”

Sima Yi's heart suddenly felt relieved when he heard this, but Yuan Xi's next sentence almost made him vomit blood.

"But I can't listen to you, please forgive me!"

Sima Yi jumped up on the spot, three feet above the ground in anger, and said angrily: "What I said makes sense, you still don't listen to me?" So who exactly do you want to hear? Yes! ”

When the words fell, I saw a person walking into the tent from outside the tent with a smile, coughing heavily at Sima Yi, and said, "It's normal that he doesn't listen to you!" Because he wants to listen to the old man! ”

Seeing Tian Feng walk in, Yuan Xi's face suddenly showed a sincere smile.

"Is that you?" Sima Yi nodded at Tian Feng's nose and said in surprise: "Is it this bad idea you gave to the second son?" ”

Before he finished speaking, he saw Tian Feng's eyebrows raised, raised his hand and gave Sima Yi a loud hairy chestnut, and roared angrily: "What a gut!" At a young age, you dare to make such a big statement, and if you say the words of the old man, you dare to say that it is a bad idea! ”

Looking at Sima Yi, who was rubbing his head and looking at him aggrievedly, Tian Feng smiled heartily and said, "Don't worry!" Although the original trick was ruined in order to seek death, it was good, but the old man's trick of wild dog peeing, and the method of wanting to capture the old man is also quite effective. ”

Sima Yi: ""

A day later, Cao Jun's handsome tent was in the tent. Ran into a scout.

"What?" After listening to the scout's report, Cao Cao's eyes suddenly became cold, and he could almost freeze people's flesh and bones: "You said that the Yuan army of the Liyang camp pulled out the camp and withdrew for ten miles?" ”

Hearing this, the scout nodded hurriedly and said, "Back to the lord, that's exactly the case!" ”

"Are you sure you're not mistaken?"

"Lord, such a big thing, even if the villain eats ten guts, he doesn't dare to laugh at you, the lord!"

Cao Cao's right. The one-eyed blue wolf, the general Xiahoudun suddenly laughed and admonished: "Mengde." It must be that Yecheng is ruined, the Liyang battalion is unstable, and the morale of Yuan's army is low. Yuan Xi's boy can't help the stage, so he retreats, let's not rush at this time, but when? ”

Cao Cao thought for a while, shook his head and said: "Otherwise, although Yuan Xi is not worried, Tian Feng and others are all wise men in the world, and they are all famous generals, and there are also Sima Yi, Zhao Yun and several other strange flowers in Yuan Shangjun. It is not so easy to deal with, how can it do such an unwise thing of sudden retreat? ”

Guo Jia stood up, arched his hand at Cao Cao, and said, "Ming Gong is very good, let's wait for it slowly." ”

Another day passed. The scouts have returned the favor again.

"Qi Qi Sikong, Yuan Jun retreated fifteen miles yesterday and set up another camp."

Xiahoudun listened to it and hurriedly admonished: "Meng De, Yuan Jun has withdrawn again, if we wait any longer, I am afraid that we will miss the opportunity!" ”

saw Cao Cao sneering all over his face. said: "What's the panic, only retreating fifteen miles a day, it's clear that you're luring us, and you can't hide it from me!" ”…,

Xu Chu on the side said in a humble voice: "Yes! Play with him! ”

Another day passed, and the scout came to report again.

"How many miles did Yuan Jun retreat today?" Cao Cao's face was not good, and he knocked on the table and asked coldly.

The scout was stunned when he heard this, and hurriedly said, "How can Lord Sikong guess that Yuan Jun is withdrawing today?" ”

Cao Cao's spirit suddenly burst for a while, and he said happily: "Could it be that Yuan Jun didn't withdraw today?" ”

"No, it's withdrawn, it's been a full thirty miles!"

Cao Cao's face instantly stepped down again.

Cao Cao's side, Guo Jia touched his smooth chin, thought carefully for a long time, and finally got up and said: "Lord, the Yuan army is withdrawing more than a day, if they take this as a suspicious strategy, they really withdraw to Jizhou and recapture Yecheng, I am afraid of Xin Ping, the hard work of the two brothers of Xin Bi is all in vain, and we have also lost a God-given fighter, and the lord must not fail to check." ”

Cao Cao's face was gloomy, and he said, "But if this is Yuan Jun's strategy, what should it be?" Wouldn't we be caught in the net if we chase after us like this? ”

Guo Jia's side, Cheng Yu got up and said: "In this matter, the lord can choose elite soldiers to ride quickly overnight, and attack and harass the Yuan army under your banner, but don't go deep, take advantage of the night to see if you can lead out the ambush of the Yuan army, if there is an ambush, then order the light cavalry to retreat quickly, if there is no ambush, then the lord will lead a large group of soldiers and horses to attack it, isn't it wonderful?" ”

Cao Cao nodded when he heard this: "Zhongde's words are very good!" ”

So, at the enthusiastic request of the one-eyed blue wolf Xiahoudun, Cao Cao sent a group of soldiers and horses led by him to quickly advance to the rear of Yuan's army, while the rest of Cao's army was ready to go, displayed in the camp, just waiting for the news to return, and then attacked.

Xiahoudun's efficiency was indeed quite fast, and he was not under the urgent vanguard Xiahou Yuan, and soon, the scout he sent back brought back an important message.

Yuan Jun really has ambush soldiers!

After hearing the news, Cao Cao couldn't help but smile with relief.

"Hahaha, everyone, how's it going? Lonely to say, Tian Feng is a wise man in the world, Zhao Yun and Sima Yi are all in troubled times, where would they easily do such an unbearable thing? See? Sure enough, there was an ambush Yuan to let the general, did he let the ambush soldiers of the Yuan army be injured, and how much did the soldiers and horses under his command lose? ”

"Back to Sikong, General Yuan Rang has not been injured, and his soldiers and horses have not been injured to a single soldier, although the ambush of the Yuan army the night before was all over the mountains and fields, the momentum is quite high, but the speed is extremely slow, General Xiahoudun quickly evacuated, straight out of the Yuan army out of eight hundred miles, the soldiers of Hebei climbed like toads, and they couldn't catch up at all."

When the words fell, Cao Cao suddenly stretched out his hand, grabbed the soldier's neck, and said angrily: "Is what you said true or false? ”

The soldier was startled when he heard this, and hurriedly nodded and agreed: "Of course it's true!" ”

Behind Cao Cao, he heard Xun You laugh bitterly, sighed angrily, and said: "Virtual, real, real, virtual, there are capable people in the Yuan army, Sikong, it seems that the Yuan army has really withdrawn this time." ”
