"Gongda, Wenhe, Boda, Ziyuan, what do you four think?" In order to deal with Zhang Baiqi, Cao Cao also transferred Jia Xu and Xu You to the front line, except for Guo Jia, who was stationed in Tongguan, Cao's powerful strategists were basically in Chencang.

"Lord, my subordinates think that this is Zhang Baiqi's suspicious plan, I'm afraid Zhang Baiqi has other plans." Xun You, as a former military division, was the first to stand up.

"Lord, what Gongda said is reasonable, Tianshui was raided by General Zhengbei, the heavy support of the Xiliang army has been destroyed, and the defeat of the Xiliang army has been decided, Zhang Baiqi will not understand this truth, and from the perspective of General Xu's military camp, Zhang Baiqi's Yellow Turban influence is not strong, and Zhang Baiqi will not waste time on things that he is not sure of." Sima Lang was the second to stand up and echo Xun You.

"Gongda, Boda has a point." Cao Cao touched his beard and agreed with the two.

First of all, the defeat of the Xiliang Army is already difficult to recover, how can you fight without baggage? Zhang Baiqi knows this very well, Zhang Baiqi will not be stupid enough to do something that he is not sure of.

Secondly, although there are many Yanzhou sergeants who are grateful to Zhang Jiao and treat the matter of the search and arrest negatively, this is also human nature, after all, the soldiers are still loyal to Cao Cao and have not rebelled. In modern terms, it's just that the mind can't turn around for a while, and it's just a passive slacking off.

In the end, Zhang Baiqi's true intentions were what worried Cao Cao, Zhang Baiqi turned the tide of the battle from adversity many times, and this time Zhang Baiqi's plan was probably not so simple.

"What do you think of Zhang Baiqi's suspicious tactics? What is the real purpose of Zhang Baiqi? Cao Cao knocked on the desk and looked at the ministers under the tent.

"My lord, my subordinates think. The purpose of Zhang Baiqi's horse is to attack the east and the west. His real purpose was to get the army to withdraw from the Chencang area. Return to Xiliang and then plan again! Sima Lang arched his hand and replied to Cao Cao.

"Striking the West?"

"Lord, my subordinates think that Zhang Baicai's possible purpose is to disrupt our army here, and then concentrate his forces to recapture Xiliang, and after Zhang Baicai's successful raid on Tongguan, this battle can reverse the disadvantage of the Xiliang army." Jiang Ji also stood up and made his own analysis. Lu Rui's intelligence showed that there was an unknown Xiliang army lurking in the area of Meridian Valley, and the most likely target of the attack was Tongguan!

"Wenhe, what do you think?" After Cao Cao listened to the analysis of the two, he felt that it made sense, but was this really Zhang Baiqi's true thoughts? Cao Cao couldn't be sure in his heart.

"My lord, your analysis is reasonable, but my subordinates think that no matter what Zhang Baiqi's plan is, we should spread spies widely and try our best to collect intelligence. can act, so as not to fall for Zhang Baiqi's tricks. "Jia Xu is good at figuring out people's hearts. But the number of fights of Zhang Baiqi is blank, but according to some analysis, Zhang Baiqi can't be accurate!

"Oh? Even Wenhe suggested this, so it seems that Ben Sikong really has to be cautious. "Jia Xu is an old fox, after serving Cao Cao, he will always look at Cao Cao's face and act, now Jia Xu is so cautious, it seems that even he is not sure about Zhang Baiqi, as a lord, the most important thing is to use people and believe in people.

"Guys, what else do you think?" Cao Cao's tone changed, and he looked at the civil and military forces under the tent majestically.

There was silence, and Cao Cao's tone changed so that both civil and military knew that Cao Cao had already made a decision, and at this time he could only echo and not object.

"The last general (subordinate) obeys the orders of Lord Sikong!"

"Okay, this matter is decided, follow Wen He's advice, Wen He has to send more people to monitor the movements of the Xiliang army everywhere in Chen Cang."

"Yes, Sikong-sama!" Jia Xu stood up and arched his hand to receive the order.

"My lord, how to deal with those sergeants who violate discipline in the army?" One thing is settled, and then another, those negative sergeants are always at fault, how to deal with it, Cao Cao still needs to decide, after all, there are too many people, the Yanzhou Army is the main body of the Cao Army, the Qingzhou Army is the main body of the Yanzhou Army, and the remnants of the Yellow Turban are the main body of the Qingzhou Army.

"Gongda, what kind of person was Ben Sikong when he was young?" After Cao Cao listened to Xun You's words, he didn't deal with the matter directly, but asked Xun You another question.

"This?" Xun You was stunned, what kind of person was Cao Cao when he was young, this big man knows it, and he often goes to engage in other people's daughters-in-law's gangsters with Yuan Shao and Xu You, but, but how can this be said?

Everyone listened to Cao Cao's question, and their faces showed strange looks, this answer is not good, it is not okay not to answer truthfully, but it is a problem!

"Mengde, you were a ridiculous person when you were young!" Xu You relied on the fact that he was Cao Cao's old friend, and he was the first to stand up.

"Xu Ziyuan, you are so bold, you dare to arrange the lord!" As soon as Xu Chu heard Xu You's words, he was immediately furious, glaring angrily, staring at Xu You as if he was about to kill Xu You.

"Hey! It seems that Bufan is right, after being in a high position, everyone is afraid. Everyone, don't hide it, when he was young, he was an idle and good person, everyone, is this commonplace right? Ziyuan, that's right! Cao Cao looked at Xu Chu and Xu Yu and smiled.

"My lord?" Xu Chu was stunned for a moment and withdrew the steel knife in his left hand.

"Gongda, when the Han Dynasty was in turmoil, did you ever think of joining this company? You are optimistic about Yuan Benchu, but why did you join Ben Sikong later? Cao Cao patted Xu Chu and asked Xun Yu again.

"The lord is majestic and strategic, although he is young, but that is the past, and he believes that the lord is a person who calms the world, so he follows the lord." Xun You arched his hand and replied to Cao Cao, naturally, there were also a lot of compliments.

"Hahaha, although Gongda has a compliment, but it's right, this company is young and frivolous, who can't make mistakes? Those sergeants who cared about Zhang Jiao were just impressed by Zhang Jiao's kindness, and there was nothing wrong with them, so how could they punish him? ”

"Grateful people must be loyal people, today they are grateful for the grace of Zhang Jiao, tomorrow they will be loyal to our army. According to the Air Force Decree of the Division, only those soldiers who maliciously set fire to our army and betray our army will be punished with capital punishment, and the rest of the soldiers can be forgiven, and those who violate discipline will be replaced by corporal punishment. Wenhe, this matter is up to you! "Getting rid of the mole is of course the task of a poisoner.

"Command!"

"Gongda, you write a statement, although this time this time this time the sergeant who violated discipline forgives, but if there is a next time, this will not be spared!"

"Command!"

Cao Cao knows very well the truth that the law does not hold the people accountable, if they are all punished, who will fight for themselves? One piece and one relaxation is the way of the king, and Cao Cao can now use it skillfully.

As soon as Cao Cao's military order came out, Jia Xu immediately took action, eradicating some of the sergeants who betrayed Cao Cao, and at the same time forgiving most of the sergeants, so that the army quickly stabilized.

Just when Cao Cao was stabilizing the army's heart, Ma Chao had already taken advantage of the opportunity of Xu Huang to gather the sergeants to hold the Wuzhangyuan military camp, and took the main force of the Xiliang Army to bypass the Wuzhangyuan, enter the Longxi Trail, and march to Chang'an.

"Report! Lord Sikong, Chen Cang has moved. "On the second day after Ma Chao's main force left Chencang, the Xiliang sergeants from Chencang City, Chencang Mountain, and Sanguan also began to move frequently.

"Oh? Bring it to me? Cao Cao took the herald's bamboo slip and read it carefully.

Intelligence shows that in recent days, the reconnaissance cavalry of Xiliang near Chencang has suddenly decreased, and at the same time, the number of garrisons of Xiliang army in various fortresses seems to have decreased significantly, and they do not know where to go.

"Quickly order everyone to come to the Chinese military tent to discuss matters!" Cao Cao kept the bamboo slips on the side and gave orders to Xu Chu.

"Yes, my lord!"

"Everyone, what do you think of the Xiliang Army's movements?" Soon, Cao Jun's civil and military affairs arrived at the Chinese military tent, and Cao Cao let everyone read the information one by one.

"Lord, Zhang Baiqi is scheming, and his subordinates think that our army should act steadily, and tomorrow we can let the army attack the city and try the reality of the Xiliang army." Cheng Yu stood up and offered Cao Cao a steady plan.

"Okay, just follow Zhongde's plan." Cao Cao has been resting in Chencang for many days, and it is time to send troops again to try the reality of the Xiliang army.

"Report, lord! Chencang Mountain, Sanguan, and Chencang City were burned in three places, and they all burned. Just as Cao Cao was discussing with his ministers how to attack Chencang, shocking news came from his own soldiers.

"What, you say it again?"

"Back to the lord, Chen Cangshan, Sanguan, Chen Cangcheng has a big fire, it seems that the Xiliang army in these three places has withdrawn, and its whereabouts are unknown!" The soldiers reported the information to Cao Cao again.

Could it be that he fell for Zhang Baiqi's procrastination plan? Zhang Baiqi's suspicious plan in Wuzhangyuan was to burn down Chen Cang and withdraw from Chen Cang, so as to plan for the future? Cao Cao began to think quickly, could this be the purpose of Zhang Baiqi?

"Wenhe, Gongda, you quickly go and find out what happened to Chen Cang and where the Xiliang army went."

"Yes, my lord!" Jia Xu and Xun You took the order and left.

The fire in Chencang burned for two days and two nights before it was extinguished, after the fire was extinguished, Cao Jun quickly controlled the area around Chencang, judging from the traces left in the city, Zhang Baiqi had already made arrangements, poured fire oil everywhere, and at the same time filled in a lot of waterways and moats, the purpose was to keep the fire burning.

In the early morning of the third day, Cao's army entered Chencang and finally "captured" the first barrier in Kansai, Chencang County! (To be continued......)
