After Cao Cao heard Cao Ang's words, he couldn't help but be surprised: "Zixuan, are you going to send them all out?" ”

"That's right, let's go together." Cao Ang nodded.

"But they are all gone, what should we do with Yuan Shao in the north, if he takes the opportunity to sneak attack, then our Luoyang will be in danger!" Cao Cao was a little worried about Yuan Shao.

Yuan Shao at this time, looking from the outside. is still the appearance of a male lord, so it is normal for Cao Cao to be worried.

And Cao Ang knew that although Yuan Shao was resourceful, he was indecisive, and the most important thing was that every time he made a choice, he could pick out the worst from a bunch of options.

"Father, rest assured, now Yuan Shao's primary target is Gongsun Zan of Youzhou, and he doesn't have the courage to attack us." Cao Ang comforted Cao Cao confidently.

Seeing this, Cao Cao couldn't help frowning and asked, "Zixuan, are you so sure that Yuan Benchu won't take advantage of our attack on Yuan Shu to give us a sneak attack from behind?" ”

In fact, Cao Cao is still a little worried about Yuan Shao, an old friend who grew up with him, has been ambitious since he was a child.

But Cao Ang is so confident, which makes Cao Cao unconfident.

In fact, what Boss Cao didn't know was that the reason why Cao Ang was so confident was not only because of his understanding of Yuan Shao, but also because of the spy agency under him, Yingwei.

As early as when Yuan Shu was about to become emperor, the shadow guard sent the news.

Therefore, Cao Ang also prepared for this early.

At the beginning, Cao Ang did plan to leave some generals and soldiers to garrison the north.

It's just that the news from Yuan Shao, the shadow guard, also came over.

Yuan Shao believed that Cao Cao and Cao Ang must have no money to send troops to fight anymore, so he shifted his strategic focus to the north, preparing to take Gongsun Zan in one fell swoop.

He Yuan Shao was in the south of the air defense, and it would be good if Cao Ang didn't go to get him, how could he go south to Luoyang.

What's more, the 30,000 forbidden troops around Luoyang, plus Dian Wei Xu Chu, commanded by Cao Cao, he Yuan Benchu couldn't take Luoyang in a short period of time, even if he was out.

When Cao Ang returns with soldiers and horses, then he Yuan Benke will be finished.

Thinking of this, Cao Ang carefully analyzed Cao Cao.

After finishing the matter, Cao Cao laughed a few times: "Originally, I knew that Yuan Benchu and the young man and boasted that I knew him very well, but I didn't expect you to know him better!" ”

Cao Ang also smiled slightly when he heard this: "As the so-called knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent is the only way to survive a hundred battles, if you want to defeat the enemy, you must first understand the enemy." ”

Cao Cao was also very satisfied with his son's words.

"Zi Xuan, how long do you think it will take for Yuan Shao to win Gongsun Zhan?"

"Three or five months, Gongsun Zhan, that guy, seems to have some talent, but it just seems, in fact, he doesn't have any great skills, plus his subordinates, there are no available generals and strategists, he can last for three or five months, and he has to rely on the depth of Youzhou."

"Depth? What does this mean? "It's the first time Cao Cao has heard of the word depth, so he is curious after all.

Cao Ang blinked when he heard this, and after thinking for a while, he explained to Cao Cao: "Depth, it is the surface meaning, but in fact, it is the size of a piece of land, take Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zan as examples." ”

"The territory of Jizhou is much larger than Youzhou, if Gongsun Chan and Yuan Shao's strength are reversed, then Yuan Shao can rely on the size of Jizhou to fight while retreating, and from time to time sneak attack Gongsun Chan."

"In this way, if his Gongsun Chan wants to take Jizhou, I am afraid that he will suffer heavy casualties."

"But the current situation, just the opposite, the depth of Youzhou is limited, and there is not much left for Gongsun Zhan, so it is good for him to hold on for three or five months."

"I'm afraid that this guy, with his brain pumping, gathers all the soldiers and horses together to fight Yuan Shao to the death, in that case, he may not be able to hold on for even three or five months."

Cao Ang analyzed a wave, for him, the longer Gongsun Chan persisted, then Yuan Shao's strength would be weakened by one more point.

This is a good thing for him to harvest Yuan Shao in the future.

But if Gongsun Zhan goes to fight to the death with Yuan Shao, and wants to settle the battle in one battle, then it is really no different from looking for death.

Gongsun Zhan's proud white horse righteous servant was defeated by Yuan Shao's halberd soldiers.

Although the essence of this class of troops is cavalry to restrain infantry, that is only ordinary cavalry and infantry.

For a special kind of heavy infantry like the Euphorbia, the white horse is from this kind of dexterous light cavalry, that is, pure white gave.

The white horse righteous servant rushed into the formation, and he couldn't rush the halberd soldiers who formed the battle formation at all.

And the huge halberd equipped by the Euphorbia can make those white horses be poked to death before they even reach them.

In addition, the range of the heavy crossbow equipped by the Euphorbia is on top of the light bow equipped by the White Horse Yicong.

As a result, whether it is close or long-range, Hakuba Yicong is no match for the Euphorbia.

It can be said that the purpose of the emergence of this special class of troops is to restrain Gongsun Zhan's white horse righteous servant.

People are afraid of being famous, pigs are afraid of being strong, who made you Gongsun Chan called General White Horse before.

The reputation of the white horse under his command is so loud, people don't target you, so who is it targeted?

It's just that what Cao Ang doesn't know is that Gongsun Chan will always pick out the wrong answer from a bunch of correct options.

At this time, Gongsun Chan had already gathered all his troops and was ready to fight Yuan Shao to the death.

……

Cao Ang's strategic focus at this time was not in the north, so he didn't use the shared vision to check the situation on Gongsun Zhan and Yuan Shao's side.

If he knew what Gongsun Chan had done, he would definitely scold the other party for being stupid.

Due to the existence of the shadow guard, Cao Ang had already known what Yuan Shu had done, so a few months ago, he began to dispatch troops.

And because of the implementation of the previous Tuntian policy, the generals who led the troops were not in Luoyang, and everyone didn't think it was strange.

And Cao Ang had already sent 300,000 troops, stationed in Geyang County and Anfeng County respectively, ready to send troops to Lujiang at any time to attack Yuan Shu.

It's just that the timing of this dispatch is not yet mature, and you need to find a few more cannon fodder.

That's right, cannon fodder!

This is also the reason why Cao Ang didn't continue to do it after he beat Yuan Shu with Liu Biao last time.

The hundred-legged insect dies but does not stiffen.

If Yuan Shu was forcibly killed, then Cao Ang would also suffer heavy losses.

In addition, there is Yuan Shao in the north, so he naturally wants to minimize the casualties on his side.

And Cao Ang naturally has a candidate for cannon fodder.

Aren't the two in Xuzhou good cannon fodder?
