"Yes, if all possibilities are not ruled out, there are three possibilities, one is a small group of men and horses that is insignificant, and the other is that the defenders in the area of Baima will cross the Yellow River, and the last possibility is the most dangerous. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info are also the least possible. Gao Shun saw through our army's plan and sent the army to entangle. ”

Cao Cao gasped, a guard like Gao Shun could see through Jia Xu's plan, and that Zhang Lang was too terrifying. He immediately stood up from the chair and walked in front of Jia Xu, his eyes full of disbelief: "Wenhe, what do you mean ......?"

"Since we can't guess, we might as well give it a try." Jia Xu replied.

"You mean, we sent an army to attack Jibei and test the strength of Gaoshun's troops?"

"Exactly!"

Cao Cao paused for a moment, but soon recovered to the confident overlord of the previous side, and waved his hand: "Okay, pass the order, and the army will attack Jibei and other places at noon." ”

Cao Cao wanted to have Liu Bei and Zhang Lang's main force to entangle in the future, so he was unwilling to consume too many troops to deal with Gao Shun, and the troops taken away by Zhang Tai were only about average, and at this time, even if the troops in his hand could not take Jibei, they were almost the same as Gao Shun's headquarters. If it is attacked at the beginning, the surname of Jibei at this time is very much, and it may not be said.

Above the tower of Jibei City, Gao Shun could see from a distance that the Cao army on the other side of the Yellow River was driving towards this side. The more than 50,000 people in Gao Shun's hands were not very sure about Cao Cao's 100,000 elite soldiers. Seeing that the other party was magnificent, he must have come with the need to take Jibei. If it is a hard fight, the troops in hand will last less than a day at most.

The rotational attacks in the past few days had made Gao Shun and his subordinates tired, and he could not lead his troops out of the city to cross the river, so he had to endure Cao Cao's bullying.

Just when Gao Shun was anxious about how to deal with it, he suddenly heard a scout report behind him: "General, General Bohai Zhou has sent an urgent mystery letter." ”

Gao Shun was so excited that he almost jumped up, although Cao Cao only had about 100,000 soldiers and horses in his hands, he did not gather Youzhou soldiers and horses to participate in this battle, otherwise, the disparity in numbers would be too great. At this time, Zhou Shan's letter undoubtedly made Gao Shun look at hope, and saw Ji and Youerzhou on the other side of the river stepping under his feet.

Hurriedly took the letter, Gao Shun carefully looked at Zhou Shan's battle report, at this time, the naval army base had been steadily established, and the number of troops had reached as high as 100,000. At this time, he was ready for battle, and was lurking in the Bohai Sea not far from the mainland, and began to attack when Gao Shun's order arrived.

Gao Shun looked at Cao Cao's troops on the other side of the river, and the dust was flying all over the sky. Gao Shun was full of confidence at this time, and ordered his troops to prepare to meet Cao Cao when the news was issued. The whole army was excited and jubilant.

About an hour later, Cao Cao began to order his troops to strengthen the Yellow River and test Gao Shun's reality, and at first the defenders on the banks of the river only counterattacked, and then began to fight and retreat. Weak performance.

The news that Cao Jun sent back made Cao Cao very excited, presumably Gao Shun really sent troops to Pingqiu and other places to intercept Zhangtai, and the defenders in Jibei were the real small forces at this time.

Jia Xu was a little skeptical, if there was really only a small force, he should make a strong counterattack or defense to deceive the enemy's eyes and ears, but why did he show weakness at this time? Could it be that there is a fraud? Tell his opinion to Cao Cao, who was excited.

After Cao Cao heard the news, his face immediately became gloomy, and he was just about to attack Jibei, but Jia Xu said such a key question. Otherwise, the army would inevitably suffer immeasurable losses.

"In the opinion of Wen He, what should our army do at this time?" Cao Cao asked solemnly.

Jia Xu didn't have his usual smile at this time, but frowned slightly: "In my opinion, our army doesn't know the other party's power at present, so let's wait for Zhang Tai to reply to the news before making plans." ”

Cao Cao thought about it carefully, but it was the only way, and only when he determined which side was the real strength of the army, he would dare to make a move. If Zhangtai is attacked by Gao Shun's regular army, then Gao Shun on this side is no one in the city, so he makes a false sense to confuse the enemy. If Zhang Tai was only attacked by a small force, he would have to defend it tightly to prevent Gao Shun's army from taking the opportunity to cross the river.

The next day, Cao Cao received news that Zhang Tai wrote in a letter: "Back to the lord, it has been confirmed that the troops attacked by our army are Gaoshun's regular troops, led by the general Zhang Liao himself. At present, a battle has been waged with our army at Liyang. The crossing of the river had to be postponed. After receiving this news, Cao Cao's brows were tightly knit for a few days, which can be regarded as truly relaxed.

"From Wenhe's point of view, Zhang Tai has started a big battle with Zhang Liao at Liyang, presumably at this time, the defense of the troops in Jibei is very weak, when will it not be fought at this time?"

Jia Xu was a little surprised, could it be that Gao Shun really saw through his plan? Put aside the doubts and analyze the current situation. As Cao Cao said, if you don't make progress at this time, when will you stay? After only a short period of thought and exclusion, Jia Xu responded to Cao Cao's question. This is indeed the best time to attack Jibei.

Cao Cao immediately ordered an attack on Jibei, in order to prevent Jiangdong reinforcements from supporting the Jibei battlefield, Cao Cao even ordered Xiahou Wei and Xiahou Ba brothers to go to Jizhou and Youzhou to lead the army to support the Jibei battlefield.

Cao Cao personally led a large army to attack Jibei, and the morale can be said to have soared into the sky. As in the previous attack, Cao Cao's vanguard first encountered resistance from small forces, and then these troops fought and retreated, and it was not until half of the men and horses crossed the Yellow River that Gao Shun finally ordered a counterattack.

Cao Cao had already determined that there were few men and horses in Jibei, and he would not be his opponent, and at this time, he understood Gao Shun's real counterattack as the end of a strong crossbow.

The two armies fought fiercely in Jibei, and before Cao Cao crossed the Yellow River, he saw that the vanguard had begun to retreat. Having just landed on the shore was hit hard. Later ships simply couldn't even get ashore.

Cao Cao shouted angrily: "The whole army listens to the order, Gao Shun's large army is entangled with General Zhang Tai at Pingqiu, and now Jibei is at the end of the crossbow, you must not be deceived by him." Kill me. Who dares to retreat from the disposition of military law. ”

As soon as these words came out, the scene was immediately calmed, and many of the withdrawn soldiers immediately turned their heads and attacked Jibei, while the troops who had not yet passed even accelerated the frequency of the pulp in their hands in the water.

Zhang Tai's 100,000 army was entangled with Zhang Liao for several days and could not figure out Zhang Liao's whereabouts, and he would be attacked and sneak attacked if he moved, and if he did not move, Zhang Liao would not move.

The rigidly entanglement made Zhang Tai unable to move, and the matter of the intensity of the Yellow River was repeatedly postponed. At this time, Zhang Liao also got the news from Gao Shun that Zhou Shan's water army was ready. Ordered Zhang Liao to send people to the shore of the Bohai Sea to inform Zhou Shan of the specific time of the attack.
