"What does Zhicai want to say," Cao Cao smiled without saying a word.

But looking at Xi Zhicai's eyes, he already had a guess.

Zhicai has always known his own mind, and is good at speculation, if he uses strategies, but he also has many strange ideas, and he often has many wonderful ideas.

Now it seems that it is likely that thoughts collided.

"Why don't you take this opportunity to design and lure Xuzhou soldiers and horses out of the city," Cao Cao heard this, and his face immediately brightened with pride.

"Hahaha! It's not different from what I thought! ”

Cao Cao was suddenly in high spirits, and his mind was no longer entangled, before Xi Zhicai's words, he was indeed worried and troubled by his own strategy of employing people.

At that time, when I heard that Zhang Miao and Chen Gong were colluding inside and outside to cause chaos in Yanzhou, the sense of frustration in my mind was actually greater than my anger and panic.

Because of these two people, he treats them sincerely.

Zhang Miao is his own little friend, he was with Yuan Shao when he was a child, and the three of them played to a big time, and they had a great relationship, but they didn't expect that such an old friend would choose to raise troops and make trouble when he left Yanzhou to fight.

Moreover, he almost took Juancheng, and at that time, almost all of the Cao clan's relatives and relatives would fall into his hands for others.

Therefore, Cao Cao is doubting whether he should use people to observe, always be on guard, and from now on, he must no longer trust others.

The more I thought about it, the more I felt that I wanted to change, so that I felt disgusted and hesitated.

However, after Xi Zhicai's words, Cao Cao regained his bearing.

Now it's natural to have a clear mind.

"Ordered, three days later, the soldiers and horses retreated for twenty miles, hid in the mountains and forests, and occupied all the key roads with elite soldiers, and the old things in the camp were selected and discarded in the mountains, and the carriages and horses were led to the direction of Xiaopei."

"In addition, let Zixiao, Zihe, Zilian, as well as Wen Ze and Li Dian all retreat, get close to the Chinese army, and give up several cities in the north and south."

"This time, I dare to predict that Tao Qian will definitely not let go of this opportunity!"

After all, Cao Jun has suppressed Xiapi for too long, and if he doesn't come out again, the army's morale will definitely be chaotic, and that is no different from defeat.

Coupled with the rumors in the city, this Xiapi seems to be strong, but it is no longer so strong.

Tao Qian is a battle-hardened person, and he must understand the principle of military strength and military heart.

If he refuses to come out, then in a few days, the soldiers and horses will attack again, and he will definitely be able to take the city in one go.

Because at that time, it can be proclaimed that there is no worries, and it is hard to attack the city and fight desperately.

It will make these Xuzhou Danyang soldiers who have already defended the army even more frightened!

……

Under the order of the three armed forces.

Slowly retreating within three days, the military camp continued to retreat, and such movements were actually detected by Tao Qian on the first day.

At that time, he didn't know why he was leaving.

Tao Qian even thought that reinforcements were coming, but when the news came, Yuan Shao, Gongsun Zhan, Yuan Shu and others all refused to send troops at the same time, and there were only a few people who could help.

Sun Qian seems to have only invited Liu Bei, and now he has just arrived from Qingzhou, and it will be a few days before he arrives in Tan County, but Liu Bei has only two or three thousand soldiers and horses, and he cannot deter Cao Cao.

As for why he came, Tao Qian didn't have time to think about it now.

At the moment, he was haunted by another piece of news.

Cao Cao's Yanzhou, there was civil strife!

Lu Bu is committing his Puyang, and it seems that he is also fighting inside, and the three places of Juancheng, Dong'e, and Fanxian have been sealed for three days!

The land of Chen is also using soldiers!

In this way, Tao Qian couldn't hold back his excitement in his heart.

Fighter.

The reinforcements he had been waiting for did not come, but he waited for such an excellent fighter.

"No wonder Cao Cao will withdraw," Tao Qian sighed in a low voice, falling into deep thought in front of the case, and suddenly looked up at the person who came to report, "Are you sure there is civil strife?!" ”

"Absolutely! Cao Cao's civil strife in Yanzhou has started, and all his soldiers and horses are attacking Xuzhou, only less than 10,000 people are guarding the border, and when the villain has to report it, Yanzhou has been sealed! ”

"Many people are afraid to enter and leave the city at will!"

"Lord!"

Cao Bao, who was beside him, immediately stood up and hugged his fists, "This must be a good time!" We should immediately send troops to block Cao Cao's way so that he cannot return to Yanzhou. ”

"In this way, he can be dragged into a dilemma, invisibly, it will consume his military morale, boost my morale, and then Xia Pi will definitely be able to defend, and even get back the lost city!"

"Lord, this matter still needs to be thought about," Chen Deng said coldly, but he was born too white and handsome, and he was very young.

The generals in the army have always been disdainful of such appearances, and because the two sides belong to different factions, they have attracted a lot of ridicule.

Cao Bao suddenly snorted coldly: "Yuanlong is good at politics, but he is not good at marching and fighting, our army has been defending the city for days, the morale of the Cao army is high, the momentum is huge, and the siege soldiers and horses are endless, which has already made the morale of the generals low." ”

The most important thing is that Cao Cao's troops and horses are not an unrighteous army, but rumors spread in the hearts of the people and soldiers, and they are unwilling to work hard.

To put it bluntly, Cao Cao's inscription is very effective, and many soldiers also feel that they have harmed their parents and suffered this battle, but they still have to defend the city with their lives, and their hearts are already extremely unbalanced.

It's just that in front of Tao Qian, Cao Bao couldn't say anything.

"If you don't attack at this time, you can only abandon the city to save your troops and retreat to Tanxian."

But Tan County, there is no such a high city wall, and morale will be even lower at that time.

"Yuanlong, even if you don't lead the troops, you should understand the reason that the defeat of the army is like a mountain, once the morale of the soldiers collapses, it is really a landslide, and it is irreparable."

"General......

Chen Deng's expression was indifferent, he still folded his hands in his sleeves, saluted, and said quite calmly: "I don't know the art of war, and I have never led troops, but I understand that it is an advantage to defend according to danger. ”

"If you go out of the city, you are seeking change, and the variables are unpredictable, if you force the Cao army to abandon Yanzhou and attack Xu, wouldn't it be counterproductive?"

"In the next opinion, it is still according to the original policy, and wait for help."

"Waiting for help?!" Cao Bao blew his beard, a look of contempt appeared on his slightly rough face, and he stared at Chen Deng and said, "We can rely on ourselves now, why do we need to wait for help?" ”

"Besides, how can there be reinforcements!? When the alliance was first met, it was said that the common party was a big man, but now it is nothing more than fighting for territory and doing its own thing, and the rest of the princes are talking well, really at this time, who is willing to come to help? ! ”

"There are no reinforcements at all!"

Cao Bao was angry, and his anger had already risen, but he was in a hurry, but there was a sentence that touched Tao Qian.

At this time, Tao Qian fell into contemplation.

Yes, you can rely on yourself now, why wait for reinforcements that are impossible to come.

At least if you attack it, your morale can be saved.

Otherwise, it's really sitting still.

"Attack!"

Tao Qian's face was pale, the kindness of the past when he was in the hall was gone, replaced by the seriousness and majesty of the war for many years, and the appearance in his eyes was the high-spirited appearance of his youth.

"Cao Cao guarded the soldiers and horses on the main roads everywhere, and the Chinese army retreated, everyone, this is really a retreat, and it is by no means a suspicious soldier, because he can't afford to gamble."

"He must do his best to return to Yanzhou in order to protect his territory, otherwise there will be nowhere to go, Cao Cao is already panicking."

"In this way, the whole army should charge, and the soldiers and horses should move together to take the Cao army! This battle will be won! ”

"This God-given opportunity, the battlefield is changing rapidly, and the male should be brave and diligent!!"

Tao Qian waved his hand and immediately ordered to send troops! War!

……

The Tao army went out of the city and pursued, and after dozens of miles, it was surrounded by Cao Cao's ambush troops, and most of them were killed and wounded.

"Why, it's ...... like this"

In the main hall of the government office, Tao Qian heard the news that the Danyang soldiers were killed and lost their armor, and their teeth were about to be crushed.

Attacked out and was ambushed, and fell into Cao Cao's treacherous scheme! If you don't attack, your morale will be gone, and you will also give up the city......

What can I do?! This Xuzhou City, do you really want to give it to others!?

The rest of the people retreated to Xiapi and guarded the city gate, while Cao Cao this time, a large army came to the city and directly pushed the camp ten miles away.

Day and night threaten!

Let the guards of Xiapi City be breathless.
