Chapter 514 The Art of War is cloudy

Cheng Yu took the letter a little puzzled, and before he could check the contents of the envelope, he saw the words written on the envelope.

"Come and don't be rude?" Cheng Yu looked at the words on it, as well as the name left behind, and read puzzledly, "Fa Zheng Fa is filial piety?!" ”

Cheng Yu looked puzzled, who is this? I haven't heard of it.

"My good friend's apprentice, a very powerful teenager." A smile appeared on Xi Zhong's face.

Cheng Yu still has some interest in such a character, and said after a little thought, "Give a gift first, and then visit?" ”

"No, he's under Liu Bei!" Xi Zhong shook his head and said quite seriously, "The spiritual talent of understanding people's hearts is his!" ”

Cheng Yu was silent when he heard it, and then chose to open the letter, looked at the contents inside, and couldn't help frowning.

"In this case, each is his master, how can he write a letter to Zhicai, and you have to write so much..."Cheng Yu looked at the content of the letter, full of puzzlement.

"Haha, I take Liu Bei's heart as a calculation, he is naturally powerless, and the courtesy is still exchanged." Xi Zhong smiled lightly and said with emotion, "So he calculates with the heart of the lord and wants to see what I do." ”

"What?" Cheng Yu heard that Fa Zheng was calculating Cao Cao, and looked at Xi Zhong with a puzzled expression, wanting to know the reason.

"What the lord wants to avenge is the revenge of killing his father, even if it is because of my admonition, Cao Bao must die, if he does not die, we will have no chance to evacuate Xuzhou." Xi Zhong said, his face became solemn.

The longer they stay in Xuzhou, the more dangerous it becomes, because it's not their territory.

Although in this winter, the slaughter of the family, while looting the food and goods, there is no food crisis.

Except for Liu Bei, there was no attack from other princes, but after the beginning of spring, the other princes would not let go of this good opportunity, so they couldn't delay it for too long.

If possible, it's best to go back before the start of spring, Xuzhou is not a good place.

As for revenge against Tao Qian and the like, it can be postponed for a while.

"But according to what this letter says, isn't it okay for us to get rid of Cao Bao and then retreat?" Cheng Yu looked at the content of the letter, and seemed to be full of sincerity.

They will deal with Cao Bao first, and then they will retire with their belongings, so that they can suspend the revenge of the Lord Gazette for killing their father.

It also allows Liu Bei to protect Tao Qian and fulfill morality without losing troops and horses, which is a completely win-win situation.

At the same time, both sides did not have to lose a large number of men and horses for this, and they were able to preserve their strength, hold their own territory, and avoid Yuan Shao's southward movement or Yuan Shu's northward movement.

The words he wrote were so sincere that the reason was sufficient, and he almost believed it.

"Do you believe it?" Xi Zhong looked at Cheng Yu calmly.

Cheng Yu shook his head on the spot, and then there was a touch of gloom between his brows.

Being able to give his calculations to the enemy openly is not a kind of self-confidence.

This can't be called a calculation anymore, Huanghuang is righteous, Yangmou, what can they do if they know?

"So we must hurry up, this kind of thing, once it enters the node, it is difficult to counteract." Xi Zhong was very calm, and then turned his head to look at Fu Yangcheng, thoughtful.

"Is there a solution?" Cheng Yu closed the letter in his hand, looked at Xi Zhong, and asked with some hope.

"It is naturally impossible to storm by force, but it is possible to lure the enemy out." A slight cold glint flashed in Xi Zhong's eyes, and he said calmly, "Transfer 20,000 soldiers first, take advantage of the night, pretend to be cautious and go to Duyang, at that time, our army will only have 30,000 people, and Cao Bao's army is twice as large as ours, so he naturally has the courage to fight with us, in addition, gossip can be used to prompt other families to admonish and send Cao Bao out." ”

If Liu Bei doesn't come, Cao Bao may be difficult to come out, but when Liu Bei arrives, Cao Bao can't come out.

This is the only chance, and the only possible point in time.

"In that case, then I'll prepare first!" Cheng Yu thought about it for a while, and felt that there was no problem, so he said calmly.

"In addition to brushing the soldiers to get used to it, Zhongde, you have one more thing to do." Xi Zhong looked at Cheng Yu and said quite seriously, "Even if Liu Bei is in the north and our army is in the south, it is difficult to advance westward, there is no space there, so if you want to withdraw your troops, you must go to Pengcheng County, Pengcheng County has Surabaya and Weishan Lake, so we need ships!" ”

"Okay, let's get ready." Cheng Yu nodded after hearing this, it was a matter of the retreat of the army, and there was no room for delay.

After speaking, Cheng Yu turned around and left directly, preparing to search for ships around Surabaya and Weishan Lake for the use of the army.

Looking at Cheng Yu who was leaving, Xi Zhong's heart suddenly jumped twice, which was a little abnormal.

"Is it my delusion? No way, with the blessing of this talent, I can't make a mistake in my analysis. Xi Zhong turned his head to look at Fu Yang and muttered to himself.

Regarding Xi Zhong's plan, Cao Cao did not refuse in the slightest, and directly agreed to the request.

Even under this order, with only 30,000 troops, his life is likely to be in danger.

And this kind of pretended cautious transfer of troops was naturally discovered by the Xuzhou defenders in Fuyang City.

As the temporary supreme commander, Cao Bao showed a happy smile when he received the news.

Liu Bei arrived, and in order to avoid Cao Cao, who was caught between two ways, he could only divide his troops into two ways to relieve his pressure.

And the opponent he is facing will naturally not have too many troops.

As the spokesperson of the Cao family in Xuzhou, Cao Bao has a strong enough network of contacts.

Relying on the ability to pay in advance and make appointments in advance, Cao Bao could easily lend private soldiers from other families.

After all, Cao Cao's slaughter of the family was, in a sense, completely contrary to the family's norms.

Relying on this reason, Cao Bao could more easily gather his troops, regardless of the eyes of others.

Relying on more than 20,000 elite Danyang soldiers, plus private soldiers and servants from major families, the number of Cao Bao's army has swelled rapidly.

In a Fuyang City, the army is constantly expanding.

"The number of our army is far superior to that of the enemy, and there is no reason why we cannot be defeated?" Cao Bao withheld the information in his hand and said quite seriously, "What's more, the art of war is cloudy: if you double, you will attack, and now our army is twice as strong as the enemy, how can we be invincible?" ”

"General Cao is wise!! …”

"Hahaha..."Listening to the congratulatory voices around him, Cao Bao laughed on the spot.

Although there are a lot fewer families around and it seems a little empty, it is not without benefits.

At least he can share more places, and even help these families complete their revenge, and he can also gain higher prestige.

Taking advantage of this excellent opportunity, he led the army in his hand, completely defeated Cao Cao, and then relied on morality to persuade Liu Bei to retreat, Xuzhou was his final say, and Tao Qian couldn't suppress him.

Thinking of the bright future that may appear, Cao Bao felt more comfortable, and the smile on his face was even brighter.
