Cao Cao nodded and smiled,

"You have the same opinion as me."

Although the strength is slightly inferior to Yuan Shao, Cao Cao's men and horses are all trained in accordance with Yang Ling's training method.

Coupled with the blessing of all kinds of advanced weapons, the combat power is definitely not under Yuan Shao.

If the two sides are really head-on, it will definitely be a lose-lose situation.

Besides, if Yuan Shao wants to fight quickly, then Cao Cao can't do what he wants.

The two sides were at a stalemate, and with the advantages of Quyuan plough and high-yield seeds, Cao Cao was very confident that he could surpass Yuan Shao.

"Ziyi, what do you think?"

Cao Cao suddenly asked.

As soon as he asked, everyone turned their eyes to Yang Ling.

It made Yang Ling a little embarrassed.

He pondered for a moment, and then said,

"Back to the prime minister, Sun Tzu's Art of War has a saying, all those who fight, with the right fit, with the odd victory."

"The lord opened up a posture and fought a war of attrition with Yuan Shao, which can be regarded as a coincidence."

"But if you want to reduce your losses and defeat Yuan Shao completely, you still need to win by surprise!"

Cao Cao's eyes lit up, bowed slightly, and said with a smile,

"What Ziyi said makes a lot of sense, what do you think?"

"I think it makes a lot of sense."

Guo Jia nodded, but the conversation changed,

"It's just that Yuan Shao's subordinates are full of talents, and it is extremely difficult to win by surprise."

Yang Ling laughed,

"Prime Minister, the military advisor sacrificed wine, I forgot to tell you that Fu Zhu and Tian Feng have been imprisoned by Yuan Shao."

"What?"

Cao Cao, Guo Jia and others were all taken aback.

You must know that among the strategists under Yuan Shao, the one that Cao Cao feared the most was Frustration and Tian Feng.

One of them is strategic, talented, and the other is brilliant and strange.

Unexpectedly, he was arrested by Yuan Shao like this.

Cao Cao couldn't help laughing,

"Without the help of these two people, it would be easy to win Yuan Shao this time!"

"But even so, we can't be careless. After all, Yuan Shao's subordinates are not only Fu Zhu and Tian Feng, but also Xu You, Juan Pei and others. ”

Xun You reminded.

"Yes, Xu Ziyuan is quite difficult."

Speaking of Xu Youlai, Cao Cao's face was much more solemn.

Judging and matching, Feng Ji and the like, although they are famous, Cao Cao did not take them seriously.

Only Xu Yu made him jealous.

He was good friends with Yuan Shao and Xu You in the early years, so he naturally knew that Xu You's talent was extraordinary.

At this moment, Yang Ling suddenly smiled,

"Don't worry, it won't be long before Xu You will come to defect."

"Is that true?"

Cao Cao couldn't help but be stunned.

If Xu You defected again, there would be only a few strategists left under Yuan Shao.

"When did a subordinate say a joke?"

Yang Ling is confident.

Cao Cao thought about it, this is also true.

It's just that Xu Yu stayed well in Yuan Shao's place, how could he come to join him?

Seeing that Yang Ling sold Guanzi, Cao Cao was not good at asking again.

……

In the following period, Yuan Shao led a large army to arrive outside Guandu City.

It's just that Cao Cao ordered to hold the city and never go out of the city to meet the enemy.

Yuan Shao had no choice but to order someone to build a tower, pile up soil like a mountain, and shoot Cao Ying with arrows.

But Cao Cao also showed no weakness, and made a stone-throwing device called the Thunderbolt Car, which smashed all the buildings of Yuan Jun.

Yuan Shao ordered people to dig tunnels again, but Cao Cao once again saw through them and dug a long trench to resist.

The two sides went back and forth, their respective generals fought bravely, and the strategists were full of strategies, but neither could defeat the other.

Yuan Jun camp.

Yuan Shao's brows furrowed, a little sullen.

Cao Cao is not far away in the city of Guandu, as long as he enters it, captures him alive or kills him, he can welcome the Son of Heaven and dominate the world.

The city wall of Guandu is not very tall, but under the perseverance of Cao Cao and a group of military generals and strategists, it is extremely strong.

"Do you have any plans to break the enemy?"

Yuan Shao sighed and looked at everyone.

Guo Tu, Judge, Feng Ji and others, you look at me, I look at you, they are all silent.

They thought of all the ways they could, but they couldn't attack it.

At this moment, Xu You suddenly spoke,

"My lord, my subordinates have a plan."

Yuan Shao's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly said,

"Mr. Ziyuan, if you have any good plans, come quickly."

Xu You smiled confidently,

"Cao Cao's battle against our army this time can be said to be concentrated with all his strength, and the city of Xu will definitely be guarded against emptiness."

"If the lord is willing to divide a team to advance lightly and attack overnight, he can capture Xudu."

"As long as you take Xu Du and welcome the Son of Heaven, why can't you defeat Cao Cao?"

When Yuan Shao heard this, his expression was a little moved.

If you can really take Xudu, defeating Cao Cao is a matter of minutes.

Seeing that Yuan Shao was moved by Xu You's words, Guo Tu frowned, and immediately retorted,

"Then Cao Cao and Yang Ling are people who are used to long-distance attacks, how can they be defenseless?"

"As the capital, Xu Du is impregnable, and it is by no means easy to take."

"Sending men and horses to raid rashly will only waste troops in vain."

"Besides, the top priority is to arrest Cao Cao!"

Xu You pursed his lips,

"If Mr. Gongze thinks it's inappropriate, you can think of another way."

"This ......"

Guo Tu was snorting for a long time, but he couldn't say anything.

"Since you can't come up with any good ideas, why don't you try my method, what if it succeeds?"

Xu Yu said disapprerovingly.

Guo Tu wanted to say something, but Yuan Shao, who was sitting in the hall, said,

"Okay, don't quarrel between the two of you, this matter is very important, I'll think about it for a while!"

Seeing this, everyone had no choice but to give up and leave.

Guo Tu returned to the tent and began to be in an impotent rage again, smashing the things on the table.

Thinking of Xu You's appearance just now when he didn't put himself in his eyes, he gritted his teeth in anger.

Just then, a figure flashed in from outside the tent.

"Why are you here again?"

Guo Tu subconsciously thought that it was Wang Yousheng who had arrived.

But when I looked up, I found that it was Feng Ji.

"What do you mean by that?"

Feng Ji looked at Guo Tu inexplicably.

"Ah, it's okay...... It's okay! ”

Guo Tu hurriedly waved his hand and said with a smile,

"Mr. Yuantu, please take a seat, why are you here?"

Feng Ji didn't think much about it, and after slowly sitting down, he looked at the mess in the place and said with a smile,

"Presumably Gong is angry because of Xu Ziyuan, right?"

"Not bad."

Guo Tu didn't hide it in front of Feng Ji, and nodded generously to admit it,

"I just drove the frustration away, but I didn't expect another Xu Ziyuan to pop up, it's really unlucky!"

Feng Ji smiled and said in a low voice,

"I have a way to help you solve Xu Ziyuan."

Guo Tu was stunned for a moment, and then said with great joy,

"What's the best plan for Yuantu?"

"I just got the news that Xu Ziyuan's family members in Yecheng have been arrested and imprisoned for taking bribes. You can use this as a fuss and attack him. In this way, the lord will never trust him again! ”

Feng Ji said with a smile.
