Chapter 408: Cao Ren's Steady Victory

"Look it up."

Even though it was lit up a lot, it still looked a little dim, Liu Wei only said these two words lightly, which can be regarded as a summary of this matter.

Yuan Shao used facts to warn him that he should do things more simply.

Those who he once didn't like to see, don't reluctantly continue to look at them, they will still be unpleasing in the future.

Fortunately, such a thing will never happen on a large scale in the future.

The three dukes can recommend meritocracy to him, but they can't directly recruit him.

This road has now been basically completely blocked by Liu Wei.

The reason why he acquiesced in these things at the beginning was that Liu Wei still felt that his foundation was shallow and he needed to rely on Huangfu Song, Lu Zhi, and Zhu Jun, three people who had great influence in the government and the opposition.

Zang Dian arched his hand and asked, "Your Majesty, what is the point of investigation?"

Liu Wei looked at the little-spoken lieutenant he was carrying, and the more he looked at it, the more he felt that he looked like a god general enshrined in the temple, the treasure was solemn, but it was murderous, and he raised his eyes lightly and said, "The evidence is conclusive, go directly to prison." If you resist, kill them on the spot!"

"Obey!"

Zang Dian retired.

In the open curtain, gusts of cold wind and the roars of beasts came in one after another.

Liu Wei turned the brush in his hand and bowed his head in contemplation.

This is one of his favorite tricks when he was in school, and there is a certain probability that he will get the right of first refusal. But at the moment, it was just his unintentional move.

Qin An followed Zhao Ye's example, adjusted his breathing, and hid himself in the area where darkness and light met in the tent.

In the darkness is to not disturb the emperor, and in the light is to allow the emperor to discover himself.

A subordinate who is completely invisible, even the master will not be at ease.

This is the truth of life that Zhao Ye gave him.

It was also this sentence that made Qin An put away his contempt for Zhao Ye, the dead eunuch in his mind.

On the go.

Jia Xu, who came in a hurry, was blocked in the first line of defense for the first time.

"General Xu, I really have an urgent matter to see Your Majesty." Jia Xu said bitterly.

把守行在第一道防线的许褚站在营门外,让那简朴的营门都变得好像高大上了起来,恍若神魔禁行的禁地,他毫不留情面的对贾诩说道:「陛下已经歇下了,贾侍中有什么事还是明天再来觐见陛下吧。」

"It's about the military!" Jia Xu said anxiously.

The corners of Xu Chu's mouth twitched, "You said it earlier, you kept saying that there was something important, how do I know what was important!"

"Later, I will send someone to inform Your Majesty."

Jia Xu was stunned, so should he blame him or Xu Chu?

But in any case, since Xu Chu joined the criminal guard, he began to have a hard time seeing the emperor.

This bull-like tiger idiot is sometimes really difficult to deal with.

A moment later, the person who went to pass the word came out, Xu Chu nodded at Jia Xu, and turned sideways to get out of the way.

Jia Xu: ......

"Your Majesty."

Jia Xu entered the tent and saluted, and said straight to the point, "The envoy sent to Cao Ren's army has returned."

"What are Cao Ren's plans?" Liu Wei, who was still thinking about the court, put away his thoughts and asked.

Jia Xu took out a recital from his bosom, presented it with both hands, and said, "Your Majesty, this is the recital that General Cao Ren asked the scout to bring by the way, please take a look at it."

Liu Wei bowed his head, took the recital, and read Cao Ren's plan very carefully.

"Cao Ren said that our army should not lose big because it is small, and let go of Yuan Shao's two forward soldiers and horses, pretend to be defeated and retreat, and confuse Yuan Shao." Liu Wei said, "Our army is good at field warfare, and the Jizhou soldiers are good at defending, so we can't put the battlefield in Yecheng, so when Yuan Shao is given the opportunity to take the initiative to send troops, what do you think?"

"General Cao Ren's troops are indeed calm, and this strategy is very second." Jia Xu said, "The only thing that the minister does not dare to agree with is that the Jizhou soldiers are not good at defending the city, but the few strategists under Yuan Shao's account

Guard. The likes of frustration and judgment are all good at this."

"Although the Jizhou soldiers claim to have hundreds of thousands, the real strength should be less than 200,000, and it is a mixed army. The few strategists under Yuan Shao's account should know very well that fighting a field battle with such soldiers and horses will not be the opponent of my elite soldiers in the West Garden, so it is the best choice to stick to the city and avoid the edge of our army."

Liu Wei groped his chin, which was still countless times smoother than Zhao Ye, and said, "Since you said so, then the problem arises again, how could Yuan Shao easily release the soldiers and horses from the city and take the initiative to attack?"

Jia Xu smiled lightly and said, "Your Majesty, Yuan Shao is arrogant. Moreover, what Yuan Shao's account can speak to is not only the two of them who are frustrated and judged, but also Guo Tu, Feng Ji, Xu You and others. Guo Langzhong once mentioned that although Yuan Shao is only a hero, those people under his account have their own opinions, and they seem to be quite fierce."

"Those who are frustrated and judged will inevitably be opposed!"

Liu Wei nodded, "Guo Jia does seem to have said such things, when starting a business, if he can't work together, he has already failed halfway, and if he keeps up his efforts, even if I don't interfere, he will be dry himself."

"Cao Renzhi's opinion, you don't have anything to add, just agree?"

贾诩面色淡然,凝声说道:「陛下,平心而论,臣白日里所献之策,和曹仁将军的战术,算是各有所长,皆可为。」

"Although our army is better at field warfare, it is not afraid of siege. Moreover, Yecheng will be fought sooner or later, and the only disagreement between the minister and General Cao Ren is whether or not to let go of the enemy army that is blatantly preparing to attack the white horse."

After Jia Xu's words were finished, Liu Wei already had a very detailed strategy in his mind.

"Since you don't have any additional opinions, then accompany me to see Cao Ren's attack." Liu Wei said.

In comparison, it is true that Cao Ren's tactics seem to be more stable than those listed by Jia Xu.

And in this battle, what Liu argues for is stability.

Fight steadily and kill Yuan Shao!

Jia Xu's tactic was to destroy its vanguard and win Yecheng in one go.

And Cao Ren has one more tactic to lure the snake out of the hole.

But what Liu Wei considered was that Yuan Shao's military spirit was a very uncertain factor, and the strength depended on the situation.

But it is a fact that he has many soldiers, and if there are many soldiers, it will be easy to defend the city.

Unless Liu Wei made a move, he piled up all his troops and rubbed Yuan Shao's military heart under his feet.

Otherwise, if the siege war drags on, it will inevitably hurt the morale of your own army.

Jia Xu used his troops to win or lose a lot of the time, but this time, Liu Wei didn't plan to use his simpler tactics.

Even if Jia Xu had figured out the hearts of Yuan Shao and the strategists under his account, Liu Wei would rather go the extra mile.

Ma Chao was in Guantao, like a bandit entering the city.

On the second day of the Tunbing Pavilion Tao, he repeated his old tricks and set up a prison in the Pavilion Tao University to avenge the people's grievances.

Zhuge Yuan sat in the position where he had been sitting for several years, his legs were almost numb with fright, but he didn't dare to say anything.

For several days in a row, the gentry and wealthy in Guantao City could be regarded as suffering.

was almost stripped and cramped by Ma Chao, scraping the ground.

Gold, silver, goods, grain, and cloth were pulled out in carloads, and Zhuge Yuan had never seen such a prosperous time in the pavilion.

If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he wouldn't have imagined that Guantao had hidden so much wealth.

In the past, he called for building a road and paving a bridge, and the gentry who gritted their teeth and took hundreds of dollars, and none of the wealth he pulled out this time was less than dozens of cars.

Inexplicably, Zhuge Yuan felt very relieved.

Although this matter was coerced by Ma Chao, he handled the case.

Those thieves, none of them were wronged, they should be cleaned up like this!

On the day when Ma Chaoda set up a prison and avenged the people's grievances, Guo Tuqin led 13,000 horse infantry and horses to arrive at Guantao, and lined up with the outside of the city.

Ma Chao raised his troops and horses and went out of the city, and the two sides fought a big battle outside the city. Defeated!

Zhuge Yuan was watching the battle from the city tower at that time, and he watched the young general who should be brave and invincible in his eyes, leading the remnants of the army to rout, throwing away his armor and fleeing eastward, he was stunned at that time.

"You're gone, I'm ...... What should I do?" Suddenly, Zhuge Yuan panicked.

Even at that moment, he was born with the idea of flying off the city walls.

When Yuan Shao's soldiers and horses entered the city, the gentry in the city would inevitably come to complain.

As far as what he has done in the past few days, he is afraid that he will be eaten alive by those gentry in Guantao City.

"Shameless horse thief!" Zhuge was so angry that he cursed, and rushed down the city tower like the wind, ready to pack up his package and run away.
