"Paper talisman volley, put 1

Rumble! A loud bang, accompanied by a dazzling light, completely submerged the soldiers gathered under the high city wall, with this loud sound, the sound of 'dangdang' sounded in the distance outside the city, and the soldiers of the Cao army retreated backwards like a tide, and the boulder crossbow arrows flying around in the sky slowly stopped.

"Holy! Exhausted. One player stretched his waist and swung his arms vigorously.

"Are you tired? Watching the merit value rise dramatically, why don't I feel tired! I suddenly felt that Cao Cao was very cute, and the merit points sent were really a lot 1

"Hehe, as far as your attack power is still 'whoosh', I think you just use a crossbow arrow to paddle water1

"Fool, Lao Tzu is in the crossbow formation, sharing the merits1

"That's not much, Cao Jun's defensive attributes are quite perverted, and he can't shoot much at once, or more than the paper talisman volley."

"Cut, speaking of which, Cao Jun's losses are not small, even if there are three or two thousand a day, ten days and eight days, one or two percent of the troops will be gone! Is Cao Cao sick? You have to climb such a high wall. ”

"Well, this question is a hell of a question, you can ask Cao Cao, or he was kicked in the head by a donkey1

"I think he had a big head attack, and then he was"

"It's nonsense, even if Cao Cao's brain is in the water, the group of strategists around him are in the water, don't talk nonsense if you don't understand, although the beasts on the forum are unreliable, but there are all kinds of speculations. You don't have long heads to see it yourself.1

"Well, that's it. I always feel that the public is justified and the mother-in-law is reasonable, so I never look at these saliva stickers1

"That's because you don't have the ability to discern, so stop making excuses for your low IQ1

"I'll go, get out of you, I'm not clean and upset, I'm too lazy to pay attention to you."

"Don't make noise. Then why do you tell me Cao Cao? Is it merciful to us that they have brought us meritorious deeds? ”

"I think Cao Cao must have a conspiracy, otherwise he is not stupid, even if he was wrong at the beginning, can he continue to be wrong now?"

"So, what is Cao Cao's conspiracy?"

"What if I knew I was still here? Cut 1

"Reverse cut! That is to say, it is the same as not saying it, I hate this kind of guy who can play tricks with his mouth the most, so I don't read saliva stickers. Speaking of which, the pros and cons have been said, but the result is not at all! Grass 1

Not to mention that the players in the city were confused by Cao Cao's conspiracy, the guards in the city were also unclear, and because they didn't understand, they were even more suspicious, and he also described the details of the battle in detail in his battle report to Yuan Shao. I hope that Yuan Shao can understand everything that is happening in Dingtao as clearly as possible, and he also attached his doubts and speculations at the end of the letter, of course, he can only doubt and guess.

In front of Yuan Shao was a stack of battle reports with open jaws, and every day he took the trouble to describe everything on the battlefield in Dingtao with a long battle report, which made Yuan Shao very satisfied.

Suspicion of jaw opening. Yuan Shao was also full of doubts, judging from Cao Cao's strategic arrangement. There is nothing particularly criticizing, on the one hand, Dingtao was chosen because Dingtao was important, on the other hand, I am afraid that there was also the idea of sending reinforcements, but Yuan Shao could not be easily fooled, so Yuan Shao has always maintained a very calm mentality, not in a hurry to reinforce Dingtao, but just sent cavalry to cruise around Dingtao to contain it, and wanted to see Cao Cao's plan clearly.

Now Cao Cao really attacked under the Dingtao City, according to Zhang Jaw's calculations, the exchange ratio between the two sides is about one to five, Zhang Jaw has the advantage of the strong city, but the advantage of the defenders is actually brought by a large amount of material consumption, if this goes on for a long time, there will be a shortage of materials in the city, and then this exchange ratio will not necessarily be maintained

On the one hand, Yuan Shao naturally hoped that Cao Cao would continue to storm Dingtao and stay under Dingtao City for a long time, so as to gain time for Yuan Shao to speed up the construction of Yanzhou. On the other hand, Yuan Shao was very worried, worried that Cao Cao would not be so tendoned, perhaps, Cao Cao had any unexpected way to conquer Dingtao? If Dingtao is really lost, then Yuan Shao's fun will be great.

Therefore, on the one hand, Yuan Shao wanted to continue to calmly stare at Cao Cao on the periphery, and on the other hand, he wanted to find and create fighters to relieve the siege of Tao, and at the same time, he couldn't help but have illusions in his heart, hoping to find an opportunity to form a fatal blow to Cao Cao, maybe he would be able to defend and attack at that time.

This is the contradiction of the general, on the battlefield, all kinds of choices actually seem to have advantages and disadvantages, hindsight everyone will do it, but at that time, there were not many people who could make the right choice under the chaotic appearance.

While pondering, Xiao Ji and Guo Tu walked in.

"My lord, my subordinates have arrived safely by sending supplies to fate, and I have come to pay the order 1 Guo Tu to give his hand.

Yuan Shao raised his head, smiled and waved his hand, "Very good, is it smooth along the way?" What's the condition along the way? ”

"My lord, the road is very smooth, except for the occasional encounter with some thieves, there are no accidents. The villages and towns along the way are all spring ploughing, and the situation is quite stable, but everyone is inevitably a little uneasy, for fear that Cao Jun will come over and ruin everyone's hard work. ”

"Humph! With the official here, Cao Cao didn't want to cross Dingtao by half a step. ”

Guo Tu smiled and said: "The subordinates also said the same thing to everyone, but the people are ignorant, and the distance from Dingtao is not far, so it is inevitable that they will feel uneasy."

"Well, you should sit down and rest first, Yuan Tu, do you have something to report?"

Xiao Ji nodded and said, "Exactly, my subordinates have received the latest information and have come to report it to the lord." ”

"Oh? Come. ”

"No. Lord, today from the Yongyang, Jishi, and Chengwu front line, the enemy's Inhuman troop activities seem to be increasing, but the strange thing is that there is no large amount of supplies going north, only the same as usual supply troop activities. ”

"What does it mean to increase? Quantity or range of activity? ”

"It's quantity! It is this point that makes people feel strange, it is said that the war under Dingtao City is now tight. It was precisely when a large number of Inhumans were needed to come to support, why did Cao Cao increase his manpower on the supply line instead? Our army has not acted accordingly? This is very strange. ”

Yuan Shao pondered when he heard this. Guo Tu curled the corners of his mouth and said: "What's so strange about this, the art of war has a cloud of 'can show what it can't', and there is a saying 'virtual is real, real is virtual', the reason why Cao Cao increased the activities of strangers in these places is to tell us that they are strengthening the defense of the logistics line, but in fact, it is likely that the troops on the logistics line are decreasing." ”

"Reduce? 1 Yuan Shao asked thoughtfully.

Xiao Ji's eyes flashed. looked at Guo Tu with a relaxed face, it seemed that Guo Tu just said casually, he had just come from Hebei, and he didn't understand the situation, so it was impossible to have an accurate judgment of the entire battlefield situation.

Xiao Ji thought for a while and asked, "But why did Cao Cao's logistics line reduce his troops?" Is he not strong enough? ”

"Hehe, Yuan Tu's words are strange. When is there any time when there is enough troops? The forces on the battlefield must not be endless, if that is the case, it is better to gather together to strike a thunderous blow! Now Cao Cao has reduced the number of troops on the logistics line, naturally in order to throw his troops to the front line. ”

"How do you know about the public rules?"

"Naturally, I guessed, I just came back from delivering supplies from Hebei, and I don't know the battlefield situation, so I naturally guessed. It can also be guessed from this that Cao Cao's remaining casualties in Dingtao are still relatively heavy, but is this so? ”

"Well, that's true1

"So, Cao Cao's attack on Dingtao must have the meaning of encircling the point to send reinforcements. Who knew that it was spied on by the lord, and the lord was just eyeing him from one side. But he is not in a hurry to step forward and fight, which inevitably makes Cao Cao anxious, if he wants to transfer the lord out, then he needs to create a critical situation in Dingtao, and if he wants to make Dingtao appear in danger of breaking the city at any time, then increasing troops is not an inevitable choice? ”

Yuan Shao nodded, stroked his beard and continued: "So in order to cover up this, and in order to ensure his own logistics security, Cao Cao had to mobilize the slightly inferior Inhuman troops to the south to bluff?" ”

"Well, this is actually easy to prove, that is, to see how the actual combat capabilities of these Inhuman troops are, if these are Inhuman troops with relatively low combat power, then the situation is more obvious1

Xiao Ji looked at Yuan Shao, Yuan Shao nodded and said: "This strategy is feasible, you only need to issue some tasks and let the Inhuman troops go there to do a little bit of activity, and you can know the truth." ”

"Lord, or there is an easier way1 Guo Tu said with a smile.

"What's the solution? Cao Cao's mobilization of troops must have been extremely secretive, and his own clan and Chengwu did not allow outsiders to come and go at will. ”

"Hehe, you don't have to go there, if the soldiers on the logistics line are transferred to the front line, then the size of Cao Cao's camp and the number of military tents will change, this is easy to find, Cao Cao's soldiers can't fall from the sky, if there are more soldiers on the front line, it is natural that there are fewer defenders in logistics1

"Isn't it possible to transfer it from the rear?"

"Yuan Tu, don't you even know that Cao Jun is moving troops from the rear?"

"This" Xiao Ji was asked, it is true, there has been no large force activity around Yongyang recently, and no information on troop movements has been seized from the surrounding areas, so Guo Tu's speculation should be correct, and his method is indeed feasible.

Yuan Shao frowned, and raised his voice slightly: "Yuan Tu, carry out these two things at once, be sure to find out whether the Cao Army has moved the logistics guard troops forward, if so, find out where it was transferred at any cost, maybe our opportunity to end this war as soon as possible has come1."

This subordinate obeyed1

Xiao Ji hesitated for a moment but accepted the order, no matter what, let's figure out the facts first, and then we can't do nothing because I'm worried.

The results were soon there, judging from the news summarized from all sides, Guo Tu's guess was confirmed, the number of Cao's army on the front line increased by thirty or forty thousand, and the Yiren operating around the logistics line were indeed a little unbearable, in addition, a reinforcement army of 50,000 was marching from Qian County to Yongnu, and according to the itinerary, it would arrive in two days.

Although the opinions of Xu You, Xian Pei and others are not very consistent, Yuan Shao believes that the opportunity to defeat Cao Cao has come! To be continued...
