"Tell me now, why after Yuan Shao sent his troops, he was victorious on the right path, and I could make a surprise attack from the east, why did I wait for Xu Zhen to spread the battle report of Wen Chou's killing before I was willing to move my troops?"

Cao Cao asked questions one after another, meaning to take the school exam.

He wants to test Cao Ren's true vision now, and what he is worried about is that Cao Ren already has the quality of a general and the quality of marching, but Cao Cao still wants to know if he has a global vision.

Cao Ren said with a smile: "After Bowen captures Yanjin, he can march to the rear of Yuan Shao's soldiers and horses at any time during the big war, whether we have this plan or not, there will always be people under Yuan Shao's command who will be worried, and they will inevitably be distracted on the right side, in fact, Bowen will not come at all." ”

"And on the frontal battlefield, once there is a surprise attack on the west side of Zihe, it will also affect Yuan Jun's mind, thinking that Bowen on the east side will also appear, so the army's heart is in turmoil."

Cao Ren was also talking, and suddenly he opened his mind, originally he didn't think about it so much, but now that he thinks about it, it seems that this is indeed the case, if there are no soldiers and horses on the left and right sides to go around, it will naturally not cause a riot, it turns out that the west side knows that it will be ambushed and still forces to raid, the real cleverness is here!

"Understood."

"Thank you, Lord, for teaching me."

"Hehe, hehe...... Cao Cao patted him on the shoulder, the more he looked at it, the more he liked it, Cao Ren was studious and diligent, this character and Bowen have become more and more like, in the future, he will be second to none among the clan generals in the Cao family.

Cao Ren put on a robe for Cao Cao, helped him up, walked around the tent for a while, waited for a little calm, and then asked, "Big brother, what should I do now?" ”

At this time, the army was still in full swing, but if he wanted to march, he might seize the opportunity to counterattack.

"Hmm......" The corners of Cao Cao's mouth twitched, and he looked at Cao Ren seriously and said: "I'll test you again, if you are the commander of the three armies, what should you do at this time." ”

"I can tell you first, if Bowen is here, he should still stand still, continue to train and approach, so that the three armies can move in an orderly and gradual manner."

Cao Cao understands Xu Zhen, and victory is not only a battle, Xu Zhen's favorite thing is to rely on winning battles to continuously expand the results obtained, including his own military morale and suppressing the enemy's military spirit.

This is Xu Zhen's good use of the strategy, and such a march, in fact, thanks to the majority of the elite soldiers under his command, not to win by numbers, as for Yuan Shao's use of troops, there are actually merits, flat soldiers and horses in front of the right combination and use of troops, aimed at the three armies to defeat, good use of advantages to suppress people.

Cao Ren thought for a moment and said: "Now we should wait and see what happens, advance slowly, first occupy all the main roads in the plain, and then investigate the terrain of various places, approaching Yuan Shao's camp, which makes him jealous, but he has to guard against it. ”

"The last general believes that although this battle was won, but it could not defeat Yuan Shao's army, his Chinese army can still gather, will not be scattered and fled, because the grain and grass are still there, if Yuan Shao's grain and grass can be burned, his army will retreat, so from Guandu to Liyang, it will be a smooth road, and if our army stops, in fact, we can also wait for Yuan Shao's rear to break out of the hidden disease, his Youzhou has not yet been pacified."

"Hmmm......"

Cao Cao was noncommittal, just thought for a moment, and recalled the several marching strategies that Cao Ren just said, which were actually very solid, and after thinking about it, the corners of his mouth immediately rose, nodded and said: "Yes, this is the way to fight steadily, the grain and grass are the most important, as long as Yuan Shao still has grain and grass, the soldiers and horses will not disperse, and those sergeants who escaped will return to the camp, and the generals of the various departments are still there." ”

"Although, Bowen told me a long time ago that when Yuan Shao sent troops, the grain and grass must be hoarded in the black nest, but I still have to wait, just according to what you said, advance the soldiers and horses first, and expand the results of the battle."

"Not only that, but I also have to write a letter and then go to Yuan Shao to have a look."

"Hmph."

Cao Cao put his hands in his sleeves and sat like a rich man, stupid and straight.

Five years ago, he never imagined that one day he would be able to win against Yuan Shao with ease.

Among the famous generals under his command, Yuan Shao is naturally the majority, but if you really want to talk about ability, I am afraid that people in the world have already made judgments.

……

That night, Cao Cao finished writing a letter, sprinkled hundreds of words, and sent it to Yuan Shao, the two armies had just fought, and the envoy was naturally inconvenient to pass, so the letter was sent to the cavalry close to the Yuan army's camp sentry, and then shot into a hundred steps away, and waited for people to pick it up before leaving.

However, to say that Yuan Shao is worthy of being the male lord of the land of Sizhou, even if he suffers a big defeat, the military camp is still strictly organized, the sentry posts are heavily guarded and do not let people enter and exit at will, and the guards outside are quite persistent, with a serious and indifferent expression, after picking up the letter, he ran to deliver it.

Yuan Shao had just woken up from a nightmare sweating profusely at night, and after the defeat, he was helped back to the main tent on the couch, and he immediately fell ill in a hurry, his chest was tight and dizzy, and he even coughed all the time, accompanied by slight weakness, and the strength in his body seemed to be hollowed out......

After waking up, I sweated, and now I still feel that my body is slightly hot, so I got a letter and put it on the case, and when I happened to report this letter, the main account was not there, Guo Tu, Xu Yu and several military advisors were not there, as for Tian Feng, Xin Ping and others did not fight so they did not bring it at all.

So the letter was put on the case, and the reason could not be shown to Yuan Shao, for fear that he would be confused in his mind after reading it, and maybe he would be in a state of anger and corruption for a whole day.

"Lord, it's better not to read this letter......"

Xu Yu bowed his hand, it was okay if he didn't speak, Yuan Shao immediately glared at him when he spoke, rubbed his head and sat up, his face was extremely ugly, today, including the soldiers and horses who did not return to the camp, a total of 70,000 people were lost!

Yuan Shao didn't know why the Chinese army could be defeated so quickly! Since Cao Chun came out, everything has been messed up, the situation on the battlefield is changing rapidly, and it is impossible to regret it, at that time, Yuan Shao was so anxious that he wanted to cry without tears, and he wished that these hundreds of thousands of people could obey his command wholeheartedly.

When I came back, I heard that it was Xu You who had been spreading the emotion that the rear was going to be ambushed, which made the officers and soldiers in the army uneasy, so Cao Chunyi raided, and everyone thought that there would definitely be Xu Bowen on the right side of the trail, after all, he had occupied Yanjin, and defeated Wen Chou's soldiers and horses and fled to the frontal battlefield.

But as a result, the east side was empty, there was no figure within thirty miles, Xu Bowen didn't come at all, the army didn't dare to retreat eastward, and spent tens of thousands of people on the road to greet him in a panic for no reason.

"Noise."

Yuan Shao snorted coldly in annoyance, which made Xu You suddenly shudder and take half a step back.

The rest of the people also looked at each other, not daring to say more, it was obvious that although the lord had woken up, his emotions were still irritable, so it was best not to provoke him.

The silent main tent was slightly embarrassed, and the civil and military were silent, and their faces were as if they were mourning, and the laughter and laughter on Cao Ying's side were simply two extremes.

After sitting for a while, Yuan Shao didn't want to speak, so he picked up the letter on the case and read it.

I just glanced at it and fell to the ground with a bang.

"Cao Ah is too much to insult me!!"

Xu You suddenly leaned back, although he didn't dare to speak, but his expression couldn't be more obvious.

At this time, in addition to showing off today's victory, he wrote a letter to ridicule the incompetence of the soldiers and horses under the command of Jizhou, and even if he had not won a big victory many times, he was also beaten to the point of losing his armor, and all the generals on the battlefield were combined, and his bearing when commanding was not as good as Cao Zixiao.

If you want to watch it, you have to watch it, and now it's comfortable, right?

"Cao Apu! Cao Apu!! ”

Yuan Shao was so angry that he jumped to his feet, walked around on the couch with his hands behind his back, and suddenly jumped down and squatted on the ground to pick up the letter, for fear that he had read it wrong, this second time, even the beard of his sideburns was trembling, and after reading it, it was another fall!

"Alas! Cao Apu! This man is treacherous and cunning, and he is filthy!! Him, he! ”

Yuan Shao subconsciously wanted to talk to Xu You, but he couldn't open his mouth, and after sighing a few times, his back hand was even more annoyed, and his face was flushed with sullenness.

Cao Cao said in his letter that the military war is not as good as his family, and if he is worried that the Yuan family will be destroyed in the future, he can send his wife and concubine to Xudu, and Cao must treat each other like Zhang Ji's widow, and no one can suffer the sisters-in-law.

How is Yuan Shao not angry about this, among his wives, there are people from the Yang family, and there are also daughters of the Jizhou clan, these are not to be said, the key is to grow up with Cao Cao since childhood, how can Yuan Shao not know his thoughts, when they are young, it is best for the two to peep at other people's brides, and they have to be happy every time they see it, who knows that this bastard today can actually talk about himself, and he will not grow at all!

How old are you! You're a prime minister now, and I'm also a general! How can you say such a thing at your age!!

Thinking of this, Yuan Shao went to read the letter again, and when he saw the last look, he was suddenly stunned, and stared at Xu Yu for a moment, staring directly at him.

Xu You must have been stunned, "Lord, what's wrong?" Why do you look at it this way? ”

"In this letter, Cao Cao also greeted you Xu Ziyuan, nostalgic for the love of his classmates back then!"

Xu You's face changed greatly, and he suddenly wanted to take an arrow to grab it, but Yuan Shao put it away, made him stunned for half of the walk, and immediately arched his hand and said: "I have been in the same class with him for three years!" There is absolutely no friendship at all, and at that time, I listened to Cai Yong, Lu Shi and other halls, hundreds of people, what is it, it is not the friendship that sleeps on your feet! This is Cao Cao in discord! Vainly trying to get the lord to remove from his military post. ”

"It shouldn't be," Guo Tu, who had never spoken, suddenly touched his chin and thought at this time, "What are you doing in addition to your military position?" Didn't today's Jun spread among the army to shake the morale of the army, leading to a great defeat? Only learn with your feet, Cao Cao should wish you were the master of the military advisors, how could you be the opponent of those strategists in Cao Ying? ”

"The battle of Yanjin, Baima, and Guandu, the strategies of Xu Zhen, Guo Jia, Xun Yu and others, which one of you guessed correctly, aren't they all being led by the nose?"

"Tsk."

Xu You stood up straight, suddenly felt weak, and looked at Guo Tu a little stunned.

Guo Tu wore a Khmer hat, his beard was slender and intact, chic and elegant, and he was smiling, but this smile made Xu You feel cold.

Lips and teeth are cold, you ran out at this time and suddenly said such a sentence, which is enough to make me fall into the bottomless abyss!

"It shows that Cao Cao is probably really grateful to you, I naturally don't think he will be so obviously separated, Cao Cao is not stupid, the lord is also the master, a letter is not enough to explain anything, the foot is not so eager to clear up, but it seems that the lord is dumbfounded, but as a military advisor, you are praised and missed by the enemy lord...... This is more insulting than spitting at you. ”

"You-" Xu You was really anxious, the old face brushed red, originally twisting his beard and thinking, after listening to Guo Tu's words, he almost didn't pull off his beard, and immediately explained: "This is discord, the purpose is to make the lord feel disgusted with me, and there is no need to dismiss him, as long as he hesitates in his heart when listening to the strategy, it will always be difficult to decide, he not only wants to ridicule and ridicule me, but also mess with my internal Chinese martial arts, provoke trouble, the lord must not be gullible!" ”

"Humph!"

Yuan Shao's face was cold, after today's defeat, he didn't want to use Xu You anymore, but because of his previous achievements, as well as the friendship between the two of them for so many years in the past, he couldn't say it, this letter happened to be used to talk about things, and took the opportunity to let Xu You retreat to logistics, no longer give orders, and if he really wanted to fight, he had to come in person.

Xu You saw the majestic expression of his lord and immediately understood what he was thinking, and immediately hurriedly arched his hand and said, "Lord! Today, if you are willing to listen to me, don't worry about whether to attack or not, you can deploy 10,000 troops on the left and right sides of the road first, block the attack, and the front can be attacked again in an orderly manner, and the victory or defeat is unknown, but the generals have not listened, why do you blame me for being alarmist? ”

"Presumptuous!"

"In my opinion, I'm afraid it's the military advisor, you secretly communicate with Cao Cao!"

"It's better to avoid suspicion, since there is such a three-year friendship with classmates, how can we be convinced? Today's defeat is because of this! ”

"Not bad! No wonder, our army is huge, it has never been so defeated, and today it was defeated by Cao's army, and the military division may not be able to escape the blame. ”

Xu You listened to this full speech, and as far as countless cold eyes could reach, he took a few steps back as if he had been knocked down by an invisible heavy hammer, and looked around incredulously.

I understand that this is for me to bear the responsibility for the crime, and in the name of disposing of me, the morale of the whole army can be boosted, otherwise it may be difficult for the morale of the three armed forces to recover the declining trend.

"Hehe, haha!"

Xu You immediately laughed at himself, and after thinking about this section, everything became clear when he looked at Yuan Shao's expression, and said to Yuan Shao: "In this case, I deserve to be punished, I don't know what the lord is going to do?" ”

Guo Tu squinted, stepped forward and bowed deeply, and said to Yuan Shao: "Lord, I have reported that Xu You's nephew was corrupt and perverted the law, and he had embezzled more than 3,000 gold, there are evidence accounts, his relatives have many benefits, and his disciples are not clean. ”

"Well," Yuan Shaoshen nodded thoughtfully, "Yes, Ziyuan...... I treat you well, but you secretly have this behavior, conniving at the family members to be greedy for military money and food, this crime should have been to die to thank the soldiers and civilians of Jizhou, but in your years of hard work and high achievements, in Youzhou when the strategy frequently defeated Gongsun Zhan's army, and dismissed the post of marching Sima, demoted to Gongcao, record rewards and punishments. ”

"This position is held by Feng Ji."

Yuan Shao glanced at him, looking righteous and silent, as if urging Xu You to hurry up and thank him.

Eh...... The chapter number is wrong... Find an editor to change it tomorrow, it should be chapter 191
