Rest for a night, the next day Zhang Fan withdrew the army out of Yangdu City, more than 100,000 troops mighty, divided into two ways towards Rencheng County and Jibei County, Yuan Shu's arrival is destined to have a great change in the situation in Qingzhou, at this time it is a little inappropriate to continue to find Cao Cao trouble, it is the best choice to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight.

"What a mess!" Cao Cao stood on the city wall, his eyes flashed with an unknown light, there was a trace of anger and hatred, and some sympathy, I have to admit that Zhang Fan is very similar to him in nature, if the two are not enemies, they will become very good friends.

Guo Jia sighed, things have exceeded his expectations, in fact, he has done very well, it may not be possible for another person to do so well, but after all, there are still some negligence, it is this carelessness that gives Zhang Fan a chance to launch a raid!

"Fengyun Chao has the advantage, but he retreats decisively, I think Yuan Shu's army is about to arrive in Qingzhou!"

"As soon as Yuan Shu came, we were the first to bear the brunt, but now we can't retreat at all, only a battle, the chaos can sit on the benefits of the fisherman, he really has a good calculation!"

Zhang Fan's every move is naturally difficult to hide from Guo Jia's gaze, if the raid is a conspiracy, then Zhang Fan's current actions are pure yang conspiracy, everything is on the bright side, but you can't break the game, this is the most embarrassing thing.

Yuan Shu is in Huainan, if you want to come you must take Xuzhou, through the East China Sea, Licheng to the north, and these places are Cao Cao's territory, Yuan Shao and Cao Cao have a big enmity, Yuan Shu came because of this, you can imagine what kind of predicament Cao Jun will face!

According to some intelligence, Yuan Shu sent nearly 400,000 troops this time, although it was not as elite as the main force of the Cao army, but it was also much stronger than the ordinary army, led by the general Ji Ling, with amazing combat power and terrifying destructive power.

Cao Cao's current situation is very delicate, Rencheng County has been taken by Zhang Fan, and it is destined that he will not be able to return to Yanzhou from here, and he will not even be able to transfer troops, horses, money, and food from Yanzhou, and relying on the Qingzhou County he has just obtained, I am afraid it will be difficult to resist Yuan Shu's soldiers!

Once Yuan Shu arrives, Cao Cao will inevitably face a thunderous offensive, the front is tight, and there is a dog jumping off the wall Yuan Shao in the rear, and Zhang Fan is watching from the side, this is simply a desperate situation!

Can't retreat, it's hard to defend, what can I do?

As powerful as Cao Cao, he can only sigh, unless he is willing to give up a qiē in Qingzhou and give up some large armies, otherwise he will not be able to break through, but this means that the previous efforts are in vain, leaving him with only Yanzhou, which is full of holes, can be said to steal chickens and rice!

"Stormy and chaotic, you are the first person to push me to this point, and you will definitely be the last!"

Although it is a sigh, there is a domineering spirit in Cao Cao's words, he has not given up yet, the heroes of troubled times, where he falls, he will stand up from there, and he will become more powerful!

As he spoke, Cao Cao turned his gaze to Guo Jia and the other strategists: "I wonder if you gentlemen have a plan to help me break the situation?" ”

Xun Yu was silent, he hadn't spoken for a long time, his brows were slightly locked, as if he was thinking about something, which made Cao Cao's heart alarmed, this strategist is good at everything, unparalleled in internal affairs, but it is too pedantic, loyal to the Han family, both to use it and to guard against it!

Guo Jia and Cheng Yu glanced at each other and said: "At this moment, our army is worried, and if we defend it, we will face a three-way threat, only by making dangerous moves, taking the initiative to attack, and trying to defeat Yuan Shu's army, so that it is possible to break the situation!" ”

Cao Cao's eyes lit up when he heard this, and after a while, he sighed lightly: "That's what I said, but how easy is it to say?" ”

Guo Jia smiled slightly, and said: "Although Yuan Shu has many soldiers and horses, Ji Ling is brave and strategic, and there are no outstanding strategists under his command. ”

Cao Cao naturally trusted Guo Jia, so he listened carefully to the plan, and after a while, he shouted a clever plan, and his face regained his confidence, and said: "This is not perfect, when you send someone to Xuzhou, strive to reach an alliance with Tao Qian, let him send troops to attack Yuan Shu from behind, cut off his back road, so that you can break the enemy in one fell swoop, foolproof!" ”

Guo Jia nodded, Cao Cao is also an excellent military strategist, often able to draw inferences from one another, touch the analogy, this is the monarch must have, and it is also the reason why Guo Jia will choose Cao Cao, only such a person can crisscross the troubled times and win the final victory!

Immediately, Cao Cao sent Xun You to Xuzhou, and the responsibility of this trip was heavy and there was no room for failure.

Cao Cao himself immediately began to count the soldiers and horses, and now he has a main army of 60,000 and more than 100,000 ordinary troops, a total of 200,000 people, although the number is far less powerful than Yuan Shu, but as long as the strategy is right, there may not be no chance of victory.

Leaving Xiahou Yuan to lead 80,000 troops to guard Yangdu, Yuan Shao to defend Beihai, and then leaving 20,000 troops to control the safety of the city under his command, Cao Cao led 100,000 soldiers and horses to attack, and the main army was naturally all in it, and quickly drove to Philadelphia, the East China Sea generation, ready for the big war!

Another two days passed, Cao Cao was ready, and at this time, Yuan Shu's army was about to cross the entire Xuzhou and come to the border of Qingzhou, and the war was about to break out.

From Xuzhou to Qingzhou must cross Wenshui, Wenshui and Bishui as a vein, straight to the sea, the water flow is turbulent, since ancient times the most ruthless water and fire, Guo Jia's strategy is also confirmed here, Wenshui is the first step to resist Yuan Shujun, although it may not be able to obtain very large results, but it must be able to frustrate its spirit, and the next plan has the possibility of implementation.

Two days was enough for Cao Cao to make preliminary preparations, and at this time, a sentinel came to report that Yuan Shu's army was already on the bank of the Wenshui River, led by Ji Ling, the general of Yuan Shu's army!

To say that Ji Ling is also a rare good general, his martial arts are unparalleled, but his personality is a little reckless, and he is so happy, but he can become the first general under Yuan Shu, and his strength is beyond doubt.

Compared with Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu is the son-in-law of the Yuan family, the first heir of the family, Yuan Shao is just a concubine, but Yuan Shao is even better in terms of talent, but it is not possible to ignore Yuan Shu's combat power, the Yuan family has four generations and three dukes, and there are countless protégés, Yuan Shu's army is the Yuan family's dead soldiers, and the loyalty is impeccable.

Regardless of these for the time being, at this time, Ji Ling led the first 100,000 troops to the bank of the Wenshui River, looked at Qingzhou from afar, and showed a sneer on his face: "Yuan Benchu, Yuan Benchu, haven't you relied on your talent to suppress the lord?" Why is he so defeated now, and he whispered to ask for help? After this, see who can shake the status of the lord in the Yuan family! ”

At this moment, Ji Ling was in high spirits!

There was also a general in the vanguard unit, General Lei Bo, who stepped forward: "General, do you want to cross the river immediately?" ”

Ji Ling waved his hand: "Wait!" ”

He raised his eyes and looked around, but saw that the other side of the river was endless, and there was no sign of the activity of soldiers and horses, and his heart was a little calm, but soon he found that there was a dense forest on the riverside, and when he looked around, he could still see the traces of someone stepping on horses, so he couldn't help but smile coldly, and after a pause, he shouted: "Cao Mengde!" Are you here? Don't hide, come out and see! ”

"Cao Mengde?" Lei Bo was stunned for a moment, immediately became vigilant, and looked at the other side cautiously.

After a long time, there was still no movement, Lei Bo couldn't help it a little, but seeing that Ji Ling was unmoved, he shouted again: "There are many mosquitoes in the depths of the jungle, and it is not easy to hide, and it can be regarded as suffering you Cao Mengde!" Since you have been discovered, why don't you come out to meet, do you have to be the shrunken turtle? ”

At this moment, there was a noise in the depths of the dense forest, Cao Cao rode out on horseback, with a wry smile on his face, and there were even a few fallen leaves above his head, looking very wolf, he walked to the river and sighed: "Our army is hiding so secretly, I never thought it would be discovered!" There are few people in Yuan Shu's army who have such eyesight, could it be that the general is Ji Ling, the first general of Yuan Shu? ”

Ji Ling laughed when he heard this: "That's right, it's exactly below!" ”

Cao Cao sighed again: "General Ji Ling is thoughtful, both civil and military, and he really lives up to his name, but my class has an axe!" ”

This time Ji Ling was even more proud, no one didn't want to listen to good words, he smiled and said: "General Cao praised it falsely!" ”

After a pause, his face turned pale, and he said: "Now that my lord is leading a million troops to attack, it is enough to sweep Qingzhou, and General Cao will definitely be defeated, so why not surrender?" I can hereby promise that if the general is willing to surrender, I will speak well in front of the lord to keep you from dying, and the future will be glorious and rich, just around the corner! ”

Hearing this, Cao Cao secretly pouted, the bullshit army of millions, only 400,000 horses to die, is really good at empty words, and he is not afraid of making people laugh off their big teeth?

Thinking like this in his heart, Cao Cao pretended to be struggling on the surface: "Although I know that I am invincible, I will never surrender!" The general may not know that there is an enmity between me and Yuan Benchu, and if I surrender, I will inevitably be harmed by him! ”

Ji Ling was displeased: "Yuan Benchu, a general of the defeated army, how can he make decisions for my lord?" ”

Cao Cao didn't answer, just sighed, which made Ji Ling more and more dissatisfied, and at the same time hated Yuan Shao deeply, because of Yuan Shao, the opportunity to persuade him to surrender was gone, and he lost a lot of merit!

Cao Cao showed that the enemy was weak, and he used a counter-strategy at an inopportune time, and he didn't know whether it would succeed or not, but at least the seeds were planted, and he left it for later.

The two talked for a while, Cao Cao didn't give an inch, he just refused to surrender, Ji Ling suddenly became angry: "Toast and don't eat and drink, do you have to raise an army to attack and take your head to finish the matter?" ”

Cao Cao was also angry: "I have Wenshui natural danger to guard, although the general is brave but difficult to cross, if I am you, persuade your lord to return to Huainan as soon as possible!" ”

Ji Ling was angry and happy: "My lord has come with an army of millions, the road is far away, and the loss of money and food is innumerable, how can he retreat so lightly?" ”

He sneered: "That being the case, then it will let you see the strength of my Huainan Army, and it will also open your eyes, and it will not be too late to turn back!" ”
