Chapter 53: Never Stop
When Cao cào and Yuan Shao met with each other in Luoyang, the 50,000 troops he brought were indeed powerful soldiers and powerful soldiers. They were Cao cào’s strong army based in the Central Plains.\\[]

The purpose of doing this is also to paralyze Yuan Shao. Yuan Shao also hopes to consume Cao cào's military power through the Guanzhong War. Cao cào will let Yuan Shao get what he wants. What kind of situation Yuan Shao wants to see will create for him.
The surprise attack on Wuguan was Cao càochou's plan to go away. He expected that Yuan Shao would not dare to lead his army south to attack Wuguan when there was no movement in the Qing Dynasty.
This consideration is not a problem at all in Cao cào. ​​Not to mention sneak attacks, Zhang Xiu is probably more worrying than Guo Jia's situation.
Guo Jia had a strong pass to resist the enemy, and Zhang Xiu had nothing but tens of thousands of soldiers.
Zhang Xiu was also worried that Yuan Shao and Cao cào would not make a sound and the troops arrived in Wancheng.
When Cao was leading his army to attack Wuguan, he had already made plans. The Xiahou brothers left Luoyang with 50,000 jingling. A hundred miles east of Wuguan, there were 50,000 miscellaneous troops recruited by Cao.
After using it for one night, the Cicada escaped and replaced the pillars. The number of soldiers and horses in the hands of the Xiahou brothers did not decrease, but their combat power plummeted.
Cao cào is the person who sets up a situation behind the scenes, but it is difficult to accurately grasp the process and results of the Guanzhong war. No one could have expected any consequences and accidents.
There is a saying that gamblers’ victory is not to be clear about when to leave the gambling table, but to not take their seats from beginning to end.
Nine out of ten bets will lose, and no participants will be the winner compared to the dealer.
Cao cào is the dealer, but he is using Yuan Shao as his gambling book. He doesn't want to invest a single piece of chip in the betting game.
The 50,000 miscellaneous army was defeated and destroyed, and the pieces of armor were not left. Cao cào didn't care about his strength, but his strength, the money he had saved for many years of hard work, would never be moved.
Indeed, Cao cào has the confidence to be a hero, but he also wants to admit that in this game between the three companies, he cannot completely dominate the overall situation. Yuan Shao and Guo Jia, they will always make unexpected moves.
As long as his main force is not put into the battlefield, no matter what the result is, he will not be the one who loses his troops and generals.
Cao cào, who was sitting in the main seat, was now in surprise. He never expected that the generals stationed in Wuguan would dare to attack Cao's camp.
The comparison of the number of soldiers is obviously Cao Qiang and Guo Wu. The opponent did not defend but took the risk to attack. If the Xiahou brothers were prepared for a long time, the possibility of Wuguan falling would be very high.
The army was in danger and won with a consistent match. Cao cào thought about it and seemed that this was in line with Guo Jia's usual strategy of using troops.

After pondering for a while, Cao cào asked Cheng Yu to loosen the bondage of the Xiahou brothers, and then said, "You will continue to return to Wuguan with the remaining troops. This time, be cautious. When the situation is not good, retreat as soon as possible. If Wuguan is guarding and not fighting, you can feint attack several times to test the reality of Wuguan."
The Xiahou brothers were puzzled. They only had nearly 20,000 weak brigades left. Can these little troops conquer Wu Pass?
"Lord, but in addition to the original defenders, Wuguan now has four generals under Guo Jia, Gan, Gao, Xu and Dian. Their soldiers are probably less than 30,000."
Xiahou Yuan did not dare to ask Cao Cào for troops directly. If he gave them 50,000, no, even if he had 30,000 yuan, they would have a six-point chance of winning against Wuguan.
The general's confidence comes from the army.
He brought a group of old, weak and remnants of mobs to fight, and he had just returned from a crushing defeat and his morale in the army was depressed. The Xiahou brothers came to Wu Pass again and attacked the stone with eggs.
"It's ridiculous. If Gao Shun, Xu Chu, Dian Wei and Gan Ning arrive at Wuguan together, you are already dead, that's the other party's suspicious plan."
Cao cào sneered several times disapprovingly.
Although he was not present, he learned about the virtual reality of the enemy troops in Wuguan based on inference alone.
Xiahou Dun and Xiahou Yuan suddenly realized.
Cao cào's words make a lot of sense. If the Hu Guard and Jinfan Army arrived together, the two brothers would definitely die without a burial place.
Military orders are military orders. If one hundred or one thousand are unwilling, you have to take over as generals.
The Xiahou brothers were originally bound to apologize for their crimes, but they were praised by Cao cào and made contributions.
When they come to Wu Pass again, it is probably impossible to take revenge and relieve their resentment. The Xiahou brothers have become scheming this time. No matter whether the Wu Pass is false or real, they have to take 20,000 weak brigades and can only do everything step by step. If there is any slight disturbance, they cannot underestimate the enemy.
After the Xiahou brothers left, Cao cào took a sip of tea with a smile, looking refreshed.
Xun You stroked his beard and asked, "Why didn't your lord ask Yuan Shao for help?"
Previously, Xun You thought Cao cào would take this opportunity to let Yuan Shao divide his troops and weaken Yuan Shao to the greatest extent.
Cao cào closed his eyes, smiled at the corner of his mouth, and said lightly: "Yuan Benchu ​​is guarding against me. Only after all the soldiers and horses in Wuguan were destroyed will he ease his defense against me. Besides, when I go to ask for help now, Yuan Benchu ​​is 70% suspicious and three% happy. He will think, Cao Aman has always been able to fight, why did he lose so quickly? Will there be fraud? Haha, if Miaocai and Yuan Rang defeat all the 50,000 troops in one month, Yuan Benchu ​​will be overjoyed because I have suffered heavy losses, and he will definitely divide his troops to seize Wuguan at that time. After he conquered Guanzhong, it doesn't matter whether there is an emperor's imperial edict to grant him Wuguan. No one can do it."
After all, Xun You was not as good as Cao cào to understand Yuan Shao. Xun You thought about Cao cào's explanation and agreed with him.
When the news of Cao's army being defeated by the robbery camp in Wuguan reached Yuan Shao's ears, Yuan Shao laughed several times and said to Ju Su, Xu You and Guo Tu around him: "A few years ago, when Cao Aman attacked Dong Zhuo, he underestimated the enemy and advanced rashly. He suffered a crushing defeat in Xingyang, and almost lost his life. Today, he underestimated the enemy again. Guo Jia is not comparable to Dong Zhuo. Dong Zhuo can set up an ambush to beat Cao Aman and fled. If he underestimated Guo Jia, wouldn't the outcome be even worse? Hahaha."
Yuan Shao is actually quite generous, but as the best among the princes in the world, he wants to take advantage of the situation, he wants to sarcastically and also depends on the target. For example, Cao cào, a hero who commanded the princes, Yuan Shao couldn't help but gloat about his miserable defeat.
If Sun Ce, Han Sui, Ma Teng and others were replaced, Yuan Shao would not even have a comment.
It depends on a person's strength, it depends on his opponent.
Yuan Shao listed Cao cào as a hidden danger in the future, which at least showed that Cao cào had strong strength, and the princes that Yuan Shao looked down upon were too lazy to pay attention to their movements.
None of the three strategists agreed with Yuan Shao.
Xu You also met Cao cào as a young man. Before he defected to Yuan Shao, his relationship with Cao cào was closer than that with Yuan Shao.
When he and the Jizhou Mu Wang Fen planned to kill the monarch and support the new emperor, Xu You failed. Among them, Xu You hoped to get the support of Cao cào, but was opposed by Cao cào. ​​The Jizhou Mu Wang Fen was ordered by Emperor Ling to Yi three tribes, and Xu You could only go away to take refuge. If this was not the case, perhaps the target of Xu You would be Cao cào, not Yuan Shao.
Yuan Shao always had a domineering attitude towards Cao cào. ​​In this way, it was difficult for Yuan Shao to see Cao cào's true strength.
On the contrary, Xu You looked up to Yuan Shao and Cao cào, the young master in Luoyang Imperial City, and Xu You had not yet reached the class of playboys. He belonged to the bystander and could see clearly than Yuan Shao.
Who is Cao cào? He grew up playing tricks since he was a child, especially when Cao cào hit a wall several times in his career, and his ups and downs were even more hidden.
Today, Cao cào can be called a scheming and conspiring person.
Xu You didn't believe that Cao's army was defeated in Wuguan.
However, military information is not allowed to be played by others. If there is any mistake, the person who conveys the information will lose his head, so the information must be true.
Since Xu You doubted it, he could only speculate that it was Cao cào who was using the plan.
"Lord, no matter how much Cao cào underestimates the enemy, this defeat is too strange."
Xu You had no real evidence, only speculations and conjectures.
Yuan Shao sneered and said, "I also know that Cao cào cannot be defeated so quickly and so miserable. Humph, this battle report is probably exaggerated by 80%. He just wants to withdraw his troops using the reason for defeat and want to preserve his strength. Guess, when will Cao Aman come to ask me for help? Let me send troops to attack Wuguan?"
When Ju Su heard Yuan Shao say this, he breathed a sigh of relief and felt relieved.
As long as Yuan Shao is clear-headed, things will be easy to do.
Cao cào wanted Yuan Shao and Guo Jia to fight to the death, which was tacit.
Is the defeat in Wuguan true or false? Anyway, as long as Cao cào wants to withdraw his troops, Yuan Shao will definitely disagree.
If Cao cào insists on doing this, Yuan Shao's next move is to negotiate peace with Guo Jia, and then either fight Cao cào with Guo Jia, or he withdraws his troops.
In Wuguan, Guo Jia has already had a jiāo front with Cao cào.
However, before the Hangu Pass started fighting, Yuan Shao still had room to regret.
Moreover, as long as Guo Jia and Cao cào have always been hostile and there is no possibility of unity, Yuan Shao will lead the army back and forth.
O's consumption is nothing.
"According to my opinion, Cao Aman will come to ask for help from his lord if he doesn't leave for three days. Since the lord is in xiong, he will definitely not be fooled by Cao Aman."
Guo Tu flattered Yuan Shao at a glance.
Ju Su sneered on the side.
You can't say too much.
After all, Cao cào is a hero of the times, and it is common to act unexpectedly.
For three consecutive days, Yuan Shao did not wait for Cao cào to ask for help.
Their inference that Cao cào would withdraw his troops by taking advantage of his defeat was dashed.
On the contrary, Cao cào sent the Xiahou brothers to take the defeated soldiers and knocked on Wu Pass, and acted like a swearing to death, as if they were going to fight to the point where the last soldiers and soldiers were all killed.
After the Wuguan war report was posted to Zheng County, Guo Jia read the war report and sighed to the sky: Yuan Benchu, when will you wake up?
Yuan Shao's sword was used by Cao Cào without realizing it, and Guo Jia had no choice but to fight back.
If two tigers fight, one will be injured.
Cao cào's wishful thinking was wrong even before Guo Jia.
He did not expect that Cao cào would steal the dragon and turn the phoenix and use 50,000 weak brigades to exchange Yuan Shao's 200,000 soldiers and 80,000 soldiers in Guanzhong.
Cao cào made a profit and did not lose money in this transaction.
After the war at Wuguan, the beacon of Hanguguan rose again.
Zhang He led 30,000 troops.
Chunyu Qiong led 30,000 troops.
