Chapter 163 It's time to come out and bask in the sun
Chapter 163: It’s time to come out and bask in the sun.
"Brother Yi, why don't you speak?"
Seeing that Yi Xiaotian was deep in thought, Cao Cao hurriedly patted him on the shoulder. To be honest, he was in a hurry. The three armies were still on the front line. No matter what, he had to rush back.
"Brother Hide, I was thinking..." Yi Xiaotian put his chin in one hand. "I was thinking, if Yuan Shao goes south, how will he go south? What will be his route? Which place will get the news first?"
call out…
This series of questions, like a combination of punches, directly confused Cao Cao...
Let’s first talk about how Yuan Shao went south?
Of course... cross the river first. Whether it is Sili or Yanzhou, there is a rolling Yellow River across from Jizhou where Yuan Shao is located, so they will not fly over from the Yellow River!
So the second question is, what will the route be?
…It’s obvious, we must go to Guandu Port!
Wouldn't they attack Xudu by surprise and make a big circle to give Cao Cao as much time as possible to evacuate?
etc…
Thinking of this, Cao Cao suddenly realized a problem, and this problem was exactly the third question raised by Yi Xiaotian - which place would get the news first?
This question suddenly came to mind, and there were two big words on Cao Cao's forehead - Guandu!
That's right, if there is one place that will be the first to get the news about Yuan Shao going south, it must be Guan, Guan, Guan, Guandu...
Think about how big a deal this is.
Yuan Shao planned to attack Xudu by surprise, so he must mobilize his troops as soon as possible, and then attack Guandu with lightning speed... and then go straight to Xudu!
But the problem lies precisely here.
The news of Yuan Shao's journey south came from Xuducheng, not from Guandu...
In other words, Guandu was safe and sound, Yuan Shao did not mobilize his troops, and there was no sign of his troops crossing the river, so on and so forth... That means a lot.
Thinking of this, Cao Cao raised his eyebrows sharply.
Phew...he took a long breath. Yuan Shao suddenly attacked Xudu, but no news came from Guandu. There was only one truth - this was fake news!
OMG…
Cao Cao felt particularly scared. Thanks to Cao Ren's reminder, he thought of Brother Yi and rushed to Youjian Villa to have such a conversation with Brother Yi.
Otherwise, wouldn't he have to ruin the good situation on the front line because of this piece of false news? What's more, he would have to let Zhang Xiu chase and beat him from behind...
This guy, when he fled back to Xudu in a hurry and found out that the news was false, who was Cao Cao going to reason with?
Suddenly, Cao Cao had the urge to curse...
After all, he held back in front of Yi Xiaotian. He was a well-educated person and he had to control his emotions.
"Brother Yi, you asked these three questions well!"
Cao Cao couldn't help but speak, and at the same time, his arm rested heavily on Yi Xiaotian's shoulders...
It seemed that he was particularly excited... He didn't bother to control the strength on his arms, and almost pushed Yi Xiaotian to the ground.
"Brother Hide, you are so strong..." Yi Xiaotian complained repeatedly...
At this moment, Cao Cao realized that he had lost his composure and hurriedly went to hold up Yi Xiaotian's arm. "Brother Yi, I didn't pay attention. I'm sorry, I'm really sorry..."
"Brother Hiding? Is your problem solved?" Yi Xiaotian asked while waving his arms.
"Haha... It's solved, it's solved!" Cao Cao's expression became extremely relieved. "Fake, the news about Yuan Shao going south is fake news!"
Huo… Brother Hao’s IQ is very good!
Yi Xiaotian was slightly surprised. He was originally thinking that he had to explain it again.
Unexpectedly, after throwing out three questions, Brother Bao figured it out by himself. Sure enough, those who can do big business are smart people.
"Brother Hi, it's good if you can figure it out." Yi Xiaotian smiled slightly.
Cao Cao bowed his hands and bowed... "Brother Yi, now that I have figured it out, I will leave first. Cao Cao is still waiting for news about me!"
At this point, Cao Cao's tone became a little excited. "When I go back and tell him the news, it's time to stop the soldiers digging dangerous roads, and it's time to confront Zhang Xiu head-on!"
At this point, Cao Cao ordered Cao Ren to lead the horse. It was time to go back and prepare for the decisive battle.
Unexpectedly, as soon as Cao Cao turned around, Yi Xiaotian hurriedly called him to stop. "Brother Hao, why do you want to stop digging the dangerous road?"
Ah...ah...
Cao Cao didn't come to his senses for a while. Wasn't this... no need to evacuate? Why bother digging a dangerous route?
It's not like he can't beat Zhang Xiu.
It's just that Zhang Xiu and Liu Biao are huddled on Mount Anzhong like turtles now, which is quite troublesome... However, since Xu is fine, Cao Cao plans to fight with them, so there is no need to leave any escape route.
"Brother Yi? Cao Cao's temperament is... he will never retreat if he can advance. Now that the situation is excellent, it stands to reason that there is no need to spend a lot of time digging dangerous roads and preparing a retreat, right?"
"Brother Hiding, that's not what I meant!"
Yi Xiaotian narrowed his eyes, and immediately put his mouth to Cao Cao's ear. He deliberately lowered his voice. "Brother Hao, haven't you thought that this dangerous road is an excellent place for a decisive battle?"
Hmm...Dangerous road? Decisive battle?
Cao Cao was startled...
According to his idea, the dangerous road is only used for secret evacuation, so how can it become a decisive battlefield?
"Brother Yi? What do you mean? Will Zhang Xiu be stupid enough to fight Cao Cao on a dangerous road?"
The idea had just been raised... Cao Cao shook his head violently again, and his tone became more determined. "Even if Zhang Xiu and Liu Biao are so stupid, Jia Xu is so wise that he will never let them enter a decisive battle on a dangerous road!"
This time, Cao Cao paid special attention to Jia Xu.
The dangerous road was dug by Cao Cao.
What kind of ambush is there? What mechanism is there? Everything is unknown. If you force your way in, you won't be left with yellow mud and your crotch is rotten - you will die if you don't!
How smart is Jia Xu? How can he be so naive? With him, a decisive battle on a dangerous road is just wishful thinking.
Cao Cao just read this...
"Brother Hu is right. According to common sense... Zhang Xiu and Liu Biao will indeed not fight Cao Cao in a dangerous road, but they will pursue Cao Cao and pursue Cao Cao in a dangerous road!"
Yi Xiaotian's words came out one after another.
"Cao Cao can receive the news that Xu Ducheng is asking for help, then there must be someone who will bring this news to Zhang Xiu, Liu Biao, and Jia Xu... At that time, they will only think that Cao Cao is really digging for danger.
If we evacuate, how can we suspect that there is an ambush in the dangerous passage?"
"As for Jia Xu, in this situation where the intelligence is accurate, he just wants to stop him? Can he stop him? It's just..."
At this point, Yi Xiaotian deliberately let it slip, obviously he still had something to say.
But even what he said before this pass was enough to shock Cao Cao.
A good move will help you get the best of you...
Cao Cao realized that he could use the false news from Xu Ducheng to fake an evacuation and lure Zhang Xiu into a dangerous decisive battle!
It seems so.
Even if the news about Xu Ducheng is false, with Brother Yi's arrangement, the false news is more useful than the real news... It will even become the key to defeating Zhang Xiu and Liu Biao's coalition forces.
"Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful..."
Cao Cao exhaled a long breath, the emotion in his heart was wonderful and difficult to express.
Aren't Zhang Xiu and Liu Biao like a shrunken tortoise, holding out on the war-free card?
After such a torment, they are really turtles, and they have to come out to bask in the sun... No one can resist the temptation of chasing the enemy and attacking the "drowned dogs", right?
"Hahahaha" Cao Cao laughed sadly for a moment.
etc…
But soon, Cao Cao thought of something. He hadn't finished speaking to Brother Yi yet? Brother Yi was still trying to hide it?
