In the afternoon of the same day.

When the army is resting.

Cao Zhi's side, in order to be able to defeat Yuan Xi and Yuan Shang in one fell swoop.

Before you go.

Cao Zhi first took out the high-definition map of Youzhou from the system space.

Then he called Cao Ren, Cao Zhang, Jia Xu, and Xun Yun to his room.

In front of the map, he presented his plan for dividing his troops to everyone.

That is, let Cao Ren take 8,000 infantry, as well as Jia Xu and Xun Yun.

In turn, they visited the governors of nearby counties.

Tell them what is at stake, and let them join the court.

As for Cao Zhi, it is with Cao Zhang.

It was with 3,000 cavalry, running thousands of miles to take Jixian County.

Before Yuan Xi's army gathered, take Jixian County.

When Cao Zhi told everyone about this strategy.

Jia Xu remained silent.

Because, Cao Zhi's strategy is simply outrageous.

As we all know, the siege of a city is generally ten times the siege.

Even if there are not enough people, at worst, it will take five times as many troops to surround this city!

Siege can be divided into infantry and cavalry.

But the siege of the city is the work of the infantry.

As the so-called art industry has a specialization.

The advantage of cavalry, in coming and going like the wind, in mobility.

The advantage of the infantry is to besiege the city.

If Cao Zhi wanted to take 8,000 infantry to attack the city, Jia Xu could still think about it.

However, Cao Zhi actually said that he was going to take 3,000 cavalry to attack the city, which was undoubtedly a fool's dream.

Although Jixian County is not as good as Yecheng, it is mainly operated by Yuan Shao.

But Jixian County is also the capital of Youzhou.

Yuan Xi has been entrenched in Youzhou for many years, and the defense of Jixian County, even if it is not as good as Yecheng, should at least be comparable to Xuzhou.

If you say, it's someone else's plan.

Jia Xu would definitely think that this person is really farting.

However, when he heard this plan, he popped out of Cao Zhi's mouth.

Out of instinct, Jia Xu believes that Cao Zhi's plan is hidden.

Therefore, for the sake of his own safety, Jia Xu chose to obey.

As for Cao Ren.

After hearing Cao Zhi's plan, he was also stunned.

That's right, he and Jia Xu thought about going together, thinking that Cao Zhi was blindly commanding.

But fortunately, through this period of contact.

gave Cao Ren a deeper understanding of Cao Zhi.

So Cao Ren said:

"Zijian, can I trust you?"

"Hehe, uncle said that he laughed, I'm your nephew, you don't believe who I believe!" Cao Zhi blinked and said with a serious face.

"Okay, since that's the case, then I believe you this time!" Cao Ren said.

"Thank you uncle for your trust!" Cao Zhi hugged his fists and thanked him.

……

Plans have been made.

The next day.

In Lu Yu's thousand thanks.

Cao Zhi and Cao Zhang, with 3,000 cavalry, quickly left Zhuo County.

Their destination this time.

It is the capital of Youzhou - Jixian County.

At the same time, it is also the stronghold of Yuan Xi and Yuan Shang.

"Zijian, are you really sure that with the three thousand cavalry in our hands, we will take Jixian?"

"You know, it's a waste to use cavalry to attack the city, and besides, the number of cavalry in our hands is not enough!"

As soon as he left Zhuo County, Cao Zhang expressed the doubts in his heart.

Listening to Cao Zhang's words, Cao Zhang's heart couldn't help but warm.

Because, this doubt in Cao Zhang's heart is obviously not temporary.

And the reason why he has not said it until now.

Naturally, it is to take care of their own face.

thought that Cao Zhang, who seemed to be very arrogant on weekdays, would take care of his feelings.

Cao Zhi immediately said gratefully:

"Third brother, in the future, I will definitely make you the general of the expedition to the north!"

"Hehe, this is what you said, don't regret it!" Cao Zhang said with a smile.

"However, compared to the general of the expedition to the north, I am still curious, how did you rely on three thousand cavalry to defeat Jixian!"

"Hehe, this is easy to say, third brother, listen well!"

As he spoke, Cao Zhi put his mouth to Cao Zhang's ear.

"What, are you saying that within the Yuan clan, there will be subordinates who will rebel, and then cooperate with us to take Jixian County?"

Suddenly, Cao Zhang shouted.

Obviously, Cao Zhi's words shocked him very strongly.

"What's so surprising about that!"

Facing Cao Zhang's gaze, Cao Zhi explained:

"Since Yuan Shao's death, the influence of the Yuan family in Hebei has declined significantly;

Later, the three Yuan brothers fought for power, which led to the influence of the Yuan family declining again;

By the time our army conquered Jizhou and my father moved the power organization to Yecheng, the influence of the Yuan family in Hebei was already in jeopardy! ”

"Everyone knows that Hebei is already in our bag, and the defeat of the Yuan family is a matter of time!"

"However, because of Yuan Shao's kindness, these people did not choose to rebel in the first place!"

"But now, when my army is pressing the realm and living and dying, how much loyalty do you think those subordinates still have to the Yuan family at this time?"

"Especially after Yuan Xi buried 10,000 cavalry, where can they still sit and stay, so I dare to conclude that among Yuan Xi's subordinates, some of them will defect at this time and choose to take refuge in us!"

Cao Zhi took a breath and said his analysis.

And Cao Zhang, after hearing Cao Zhi's analysis, the whole person was like an enlightenment, and he suddenly realized it in an instant.

After thinking about everything, Cao Zhang smiled:

"Since you guessed this, then you were in the room yesterday, why didn't you explain it to all of us, so I was worried about you in vain!"

"Explain, how can I explain, saying that I guess that the Yuan family will have a traitor, and I went this time, is it to prepare to cooperate with the traitor?"

Cao Zhi smiled:

"If you're Uncle Cao Ren, do you believe it?"

"I don't believe it!" Cao Zhang's iron track.

"Yes, you don't believe it, let alone Uncle Cao Ren, you know, he has the power given by his father in his hands!" Cao Zhi said with a smile.

"Well, you convinced me!"

Seeing that whatever Cao Zhi said was his reason, Cao Zhang also completely believed Cao Zhi at this time.

"But, Zijian, are you really sure that Yuan Xi's men will rebel?" Cao Zhang confirmed again.

"Sure, surely, surely!" Cao Zhi said firmly.

In fact.

The reason why Cao Zhi dared to say this.

It's not because Cao Zhi can guess.

It's because before crossing over, Cao Zhi had studied the Three Kingdoms hard.

Cao Zhi remembers, in the original history.

When Cao Cao's army came to attack Youzhou.

Yuan Xi's generals, Jiao Touch and Zhang Nan, betrayed Yuan Xi and surrendered to Cao Cao.

Especially the focal touch.

He not only established himself as the assassin of Youzhou.

even led his men and horses to attack Yuan Xi and Yuan Shang.

Let the two brothers lose their troops, and in desperation, the two brothers defected to Wuhuan's Shan Yu.

Although, in this plane.

The person who attacked Youzhou was Cao Zhi;

The time to attack Youzhou has also advanced a lot.

But in the same way, the collapse of the Yuan family has also advanced a lot.

Cao Zhi believes that as long as Jiao is not stupid.

Then he should know.

At this time, what should be done!
