"Fengxiao, what do you mean?" Cao Cao was shocked when he saw Guo Jia, and asked suspiciously.

Xi Zhicai also looked at Guo Jia in surprise, not knowing what difficult problems Guo Jia had figured out.

The confusion in Guo Jia's eyes has disappeared, replaced by the wisdom that sees through the miasma: "Ming Gong, we have fallen for Guan Yu's scheme, or rather, we have fallen for Zheng Xianmou's trick." ”

"Huailing City is a trap, a trap for Ming Gong."

Cao Cao and Xi Zhicai changed color one after another.

Xi Zhicai was stunned and said: "Fengxiao, your guess is too absurd, right?" ”

Guo Jia shook his head and said, "This is not absurd! At the time of Yicheng, Zhicai deduced that Guan Yu besieged Huailing City but did not attack it, because he wanted to encircle the point and send reinforcements to bring Sun Jian to Huailing. ”

"Defeat Sun Jian first, and then break through Huailing to capture Yuan Shu, and wipe out Yuan Shu's power in Huainan in one fell swoop."

Jia also agreed with this inference at the beginning.

Xi Zhicai doubted: "Since Feng Xiao also agrees with this inference, why has he been reluctant to give up in recent days, what are you thinking?" ”

Cao Cao also looked at Guo Jia in surprise: "Fengxiao, you said that this Huailing City is a trap for me, but what is the basis?" ”

Guo Jia sighed lightly: "These days, Jia has been wondering. ”

"In order to capture Yuan Shu and grab the first credit, the Ming Duke recruited the elite to the Huainan battlefield, but Liu Bei only appointed Guan Yu, which is too big."

"Jia has been thinking about where Zheng Xianmou and the rest of Liu Bei's soldiers and horses will appear, but he has not been able to grasp the essentials."

"It wasn't until Sun Jian made an appointment to fight that Jia woke up."

After a pause, Guo Jia's eyes fell to Cao Cao, and he said in a condensed voice: "The military struggle is only for profit." ”

"The biggest conflict of interest with Liu Bei is not Yuan Shu, not Sun Jian, but Ming Gong!"

"It's not difficult to destroy Yuan Shu, but there are not many opportunities to weaken the Ming Duke's military strength."

"Zheng Xianmou is the best at borrowing strength to drive tigers and wolves."

"Doesn't Duke Ming doubt it at all, why did Sun Jian give you a war letter to Ming Gong, instead of Guan Yu?"

"Guan Yu, it's the one who surrounded Huailing City!"

A word wakes up the dreamer.

Cao Cao and Xi Zhicai also gradually sensed that something was wrong.

Xi Zhicai held his chin and analyzed: "The purpose of the war book is to delay time, clean up the army, and give the tired soldiers a chance to rest." ”

"Perhaps, Sun Jian also issued a letter of appointment to Guan Yu at the same time."

But soon, Xi Zhicai denied this speculation again.

At the same time, he made an appointment with Cao Cao and Guan Yu, unless Sun Jian was stupid.

"Sun Jian really wants to recuperate, he can rest for two days before arriving in Huailing. There is no need to delay time with a war book. Guo Jia said again: "There is only one reason for Sun Jian to come in a hurry. Sun Jian had Yuan Shu's cronies in his army, so Sun Jian had to march quickly to the outside of Huailing City. ”

"And Sun Jian dared to be so big because Sun Jian knew that under this Huailing City, he only needed to repel Ming Gong!"

"Jia boldly speculates that Yuan Shu in this Huailing City is likely to have been captured alive."

"Let Sun Jian repel Ming Gong is the condition for Yuan Shu to get out."

"And one of them, Zheng Xianmou and Liu Xuande, must be in this Huailing City!"

"Only these two people are qualified to negotiate terms with Yuan Shu."

"Liu Bei wants to sit in Qingzhou, and he can't leave easily, so the person who stays in Huailing City can only be Zheng Xianmou."

Cao Cao was shocked and said: "According to the information we got before, Yuan Shu only had a hundred people fleeing into Huailing City, so doesn't that mean that at that time, Yuan Shu had already thrown himself into the net?" ”

"Yuan Shu's scolding battle with Guan Yu was deliberately done for me to see?"

Following Guo Jia's train of thought to recall the previous information, the more Cao Cao thought about it, the more frightened he became.

"What a terrible plan."

"I thought that Guan Yu just wanted to wipe out Yuan Shu and Sun Jian, but I didn't expect that the chess player in the dark wanted to wipe out Yuan Shu and me!"

"If I am defeated, not only will I lose the credit of capturing Yuan Shu, but I can also make the people of Yuzhou unstable, but Liu Bei can gain a lot of fame and official positions from this, and Guan Yu will naturally become the pastor of Xuzhou."

"But this Sun Jian, why should he be at the mercy?"

"Is it possible to send someone to lobby Sun Jian, promise benefits, and ask him to fight Guan Yu together?"

Cao Cao is also treacherous.

If Sun Jian can be connected to attack Guan Yu, then it will be Cao Cao who has gained fame for his meritorious service.

Guo Jia shook his head: "Difficult!" Since Sun Jian is here, the purpose is to seek fame. ”

"As long as he comes, Sun Jian will be able to obtain the name of loyalty; If you defeat Ming Gong, you can also get the name of bravery. ”

"Zheng Xianmou can't really let Yuan Shu go! Probably except for Yuan Shu, no one would believe that Zheng Xianmou would capture Yuan alive and release Yuan Shu after the operation. ”

Sun Jian also understands this truth.

"Therefore, Sun Jian is bound to attack Ming Gong!"

"Only by attacking the Ming Duke can Sun Jian gain the name of loyalty, righteousness and bravery. Fame is the key to Sun Jian's foothold in Yangzhou after Yuan Shu was escorted to Chang'an. ”

"Military struggle, only for profit!"

Cao Cao frowned: "If Sun Jian competes with me, Guan Yu will refuse to send troops on the grounds that the troops are besieging Huailing City." ”

"In this way, wouldn't Guan Yu be able to sit under Huailing City and watch me compete with Sun Jian, so that he can sit and reap the benefits of the fisherman?"

"If that's the case, I might as well go directly to fight Shouchun and capture Yuan Shu's family, which is also a great achievement."

Xi Zhicai agreed: "Taking retreat as advance, Ming Gong's policy is feasible." ”

Guo Jia shook his head again: "Ming Gong can't retreat." ”

Cao Cao was stunned: "Why can't you retreat?" Although I am controlled by Liu Bei, but now that Liu Bei is not here, how can Zheng Xianmou and Guan Yu order me? ”

Guo Jia sighed lightly: "If Ming Gong retreats, Sun Jian will chase after him." Unless Ming Gong retreats to Yuzhou, Sun Jian will chase after him. ”

"But if Duke Ming retreats to Yuzhou, won't he destroy his prestige?"

"Zheng Xianmou is aimed at the hearts of the people, and only by defeating Ming Gong can Sun Jian gain a reputation in Yangzhou after Yuan Shu was escorted to Chang'an, so Sun Jian can only advance and not retreat."

"For today's plan, only by defeating Sun Jian can Zheng Xian's plan be broken."

Cao Cao slammed the table and said angrily: "Is this the trap that Feng Xiao said? From the moment I stepped into the realm of Huailing City, I had already stepped into the trap. ”

"Once you step on the trap, you can't turn back."

"Hateful!"

Xi Zhicai was full of shame, and apologized: "If I hadn't persuaded Ming Gong to come to Huailing City, I wouldn't have let Ming Gong be tricked, please punish Ming Gong." ”

Cao Cao naturally couldn't punish Xi Zhicai, took a deep breath, and said with relief: "This matter is not Zhicai's fault, but Zheng Xianmou is too treacherous. ”

"Since you can't retreat, you can only attack."

"Rob the camp tonight, hit Sun Jian by surprise first."

Xi Zhicai sighed secretly and said no more.

Guo Jia pondered and said: "If Ming Gong wants to rob the camp, he must beware of Sun Jian's army against robbing the camp. The soldiers and horses can be divided into two teams, one team enters Sun Jian's military camp and sets fire, and the other team intercepts and kills Sun Jian's soldiers and horses who may be ambushed outside. ”

"If there is really an ambush outside Sun Jian's camp, the front team will turn around, the rear team will attack, and the front and back will attack, even if Sun Jian is brave, it will be difficult to save the situation of defeat."

Cao Cao stroked his palms and praised: "Wonderful! Although Sun Jian is brave, the soldiers under my command are not bad. will be calculated and give Sun Jian a hard lesson. ”

"This Huailing City is not the place where Sun Jian should come!"

The strategists use their tactics to calculate what the enemy has not calculated.

In terms of calculation, Guo Jia is obviously stronger than Zhou Yu, who is still a teenager.

It's night.

Cao Cao purged the three armies, left Han Hao to guard the camp, and at the same time took Cao Hong as the vanguard and went to Sun Jian's camp to set fire.

Cao Cao selected 5,000 elites, with the new military general Xu Chu as the escort of the Chinese army, and personally led Cao Ren, Xiahou Xuan, Xiahou Yuan, Le Jin, Li Dian, Shi Jian and other generals to cover Cao Hong's camp.

As for the Book of War?

was already thrown into the brazier by Cao Cao.

Cao Hong led his troops straight into Sun Jian's camp, and did not rush to the commander's tent, but directly set fire to the camp.

Really.

After Cao Hong's soldiers and horses broke into the camp, Sun Jian's soldiers and horses ambushed outside the camp directly cut off Cao Hong's retreat.

A young general riding a horse and holding a gun is Sun Jian's eldest son Sun Ce.

Sun Ce took the lead and went straight to Cao Hong's general banner: "Sun Ce is here, the thief general, you have won Ayu's plan." ”

When Cao Hong saw Sun Ce coming, he couldn't help laughing: "Sun Ce'er, do you dare to use tricks?" Guo Saijiu has already seen through your shoddy schemes, so let's leave your life! ”

"Remember the person who killed you, surnamed Cao Minghong!"

Hearing the plan, Sun Ce was shocked.

But at this time, Sun Ce and Cao Hong were already close at hand, and they couldn't retreat anymore.

"Cao family rats, and eat me a shot!" Sun Ce stabbed with a gun.

Cao Hong is also a brave man, where can Sun Ce be rampant, and the long knife slashes at Sun Ce like chopping wind and waves.

Outside the camp, Sun Jian also encountered the second team led by Cao Cao to rob the camp soldiers and horses.

"Wentai is brave and fierce, not one person can be defeated."

"Miaocai, Yuan Rang, Wen Qian, Man Cheng, four will be on it."

Cao Cao's eyes narrowed, and the four generals rode out and went straight to Sun Jian.

On Cao Cao's side, Xu Chu asked quietly: "Ming Gong, why don't you let Chu go with you?" ”

Cao Cao shook his head: "Zhongkang, the battle of life and death on the battlefield is aimed at winning. When you first joined my account, few people knew about your martial prowess. ”

"Later, you will find an opportunity to hit Sun Jian by surprise."

"If you can kill it, I will personally play for you and ask the Son of Heaven to ask for the marquis for you."

Xu Chu was a warrior conquered by Cao Cao in Qian County.

In terms of martial arts, it is far above Xiahou Yuan and Xiahou Yuan.

Cao Cao saw that Xu Chu was cautious and obedient to the law, and he was very fond of it, and secretly compared Xu Chu to Fan Xu.

Xu Chu clenched his sword tightly, said no more, and waited for Cao Cao's order.

For Xu Chu, it is natural to be favored by Cao Cao and obey Cao Cao's orders.

Sun Jian is indeed brave, and at the same time he is not afraid of Xiahou Yuan, Xiahou Yuan, Le Jin and Li Dian.

While the ancient ingot knife was wielding, Zu Mao and Han Dang also joined the battlefield and intercepted Le Jin and Li Dian respectively.

Xiahou Yuan and Xiahou Yuan fought against Sun Jian, regardless of victory or defeat.

Just when Sun Jian was struggling to resist Xiahou Yuan and Xiahou Xuan, a black-robed cavalry soldier was killed in the oblique stab.

Judging by their attire, they are no different from ordinary horsemen.

However, this black-robed knight is Xu Chu who has been waiting for the opportunity.

The slash in this oblique stab came, and Xiahou Yuan and Xiahou Yuan tacitly gave way to their positions.

Although Sun Jian had already seen this black-robed soldier, because Xu Chu's outfit was too deceptive, Sun Jian mistakenly thought that he was just an ordinary horseman.

By the time Sun Jian reacted, it was too late to resist.

Poof.

Sun Jian's ancient ingot knife was directly shaken away, and his right arm was weakly hung down.

With this oblique stab, Sun Jian's right arm was directly dislocated.

"Lord!"

Zu Mao's eyes were sharp, and he immediately gave up Lejin, went straight to Sun Jian, and blocked Xu Chu for Sun Jian.

Cheng Pu, Han Dang, and Huang Gai were also shocked to see the change, and they each gave up their opponents to protect Sun Jian.

When Xu Chu saw Sun Jian running away, he was immediately furious, and the big knife in his hand became even more powerful, directly beheading Zu Mao off his horse.

Sun Jian's eyes were split, and he was about to turn around and fight again.

But Cheng Pu held the reins of Sun Jian's war horse and did not allow Sun Jian to turn back.

Due to Sun Jian's defeat, Sun Jian's army, which had already been ambushed, lost its will to fight, and retreated to other camps one after another.

"It's a pity."

Looking at Sun Jian, who was gradually evacuating, Cao Cao sighed regretfully.

In the camp here, the baggage has already been transferred to another camp by Sun Jian, and even if it is burned, Sun Jian's military rations will not be damaged, so Sun Jian's army just has no will to fight, but it is not defeated.

If it is pursued and beaten fiercely, the soldiers of Sun Jian's other battalion will come out of the camp to rescue him, and the army will be wasted in vain.

"Zilian, why are you injured?" Seeing Cao Hong coming back with his right arm covered, Cao Cao couldn't help but wonder: "General Sun Jian is not in the camp, who injured you?" ”

Cao Hong smiled bitterly: "It's Sun Jian's son!" Although he was young, his martial arts were extraordinary, and Hong didn't notice it for a while, and was stabbed in the right arm by Sun Ce. ”

Cao Cao's eyes became serious: "Sun Jian has such a brave son, if you don't get rid of Sun Jian, it will be a big disaster in the future." ”

If it was just Sun Jian who was brave, Cao Cao really didn't take Sun Jian seriously.

But Sun Jian's son is also brave, and Cao Cao has to take it seriously.

The tiger father has no dog son, which means that Sun Jian has a successor.

"Withdraw to the camp!"

"Summons Guan Yu and invite him to kill Sun Jian together."

A hint of ruthlessness flashed in Cao Cao's eyes.

The news that Sun Jian was defeated by Cao Cao's camp was transmitted to Huailing City.

Looking at Yuan Shu with a shocked and disbelieving face, Zheng Ping shook his fan pleasantly: "Yuan Gong, Sun Jian is defeated." ”

Yuan Shu clenched his fists, a little angry: "Impossible! It's absolutely impossible! How could Sun Jian lose to Cao Cao? It must have been this guy who wanted to find an excuse to withdraw his troops, so he was defeated. ”

"Huang Yi, go to find Sun Jian immediately, if he dares to withdraw his troops, my father will not die with him."

Huang Yi was about to leave, but was stopped by Zheng Ping.

Zheng Ping shook his fan and suggested: "Duke Yuan, if you send Huang Yi to ask for the crime at this time, then Sun Jian may really withdraw his troops." ”

"Victory and defeat are a common thing in soldiers, Sun Jian came tired from afar, and it is also very reasonable to be defeated by Cao Cao for a while."

"It's better to let Huang Yi give Sun Jian a gift to show that Yuan Gong has no doubt about Sun Jian."

"I heard that Sun Jian's eldest son, Sun Ce, is brave and extraordinary, it is better for Yuan Gong to give Sun Jian a young daughter and marry Qin and Jin. Sun Jian must be grateful to Yuan Gong and live up to his loyalty. ”

Yuan Shu suddenly lost half of his anger, and after thinking for a while, he felt that Zheng Ping's proposal was quite good, so he instructed Huang Yi: "Go and give Sun Jian a gift immediately, don't snub Sun Jian with words." ”

"Tell Sun Jian that only if he repels Cao Cao, this duke can return to Shouchun."

"My father now only believes in Sun Jian. After returning to Shouchun, the guild will marry the little girl to Sun Ce as its own. ”

"In the future, the Sun family of Wu County will share the prestige of Yuanmen."
