Chapter 248: The mountains are high and the rivers are far away, we meet again in the world
Brother Yi mentioned... short and concise...
It seems that this is not important.
In Cao Cao's view, even though some of Yi Xiaotian's words seemed enigmatic, and even he still couldn't understand...
But it seems that Cao Cao has grasped the key point. Brother Yi's meaning is very clear. Guan Yu must be captured and must be won over... He is very important in the battle against Yuan Shao.
Another point...
Brother Yi's meaning is very obvious, Cao Cao cannot keep Guan Yu.
Cao Cao hasn't paid much attention to this yet.
Firstly... this time span is long. Xuzhou has not yet been conquered, so we can't think that far ahead now. Secondly, Cao Cao has always been good at winning people's hearts. When it comes to recruiting and surrendering enemy generals, no one in the world can be his opponent.
…
For this reason, the more Yi Xiaotian said that Guan Yu was unparalleled in loyalty, the more Cao Cao wanted to challenge him.
He really didn't believe that the final result would be... He originally set his heart on the bright moon, but the bright moon illuminated the ditch.
"Brother Yi...this time I, Ah Man, have learned a lesson again."
With this in mind, Cao Cao drank another bowl of wine, then stood up and said goodbye. "Brother Yi, the war situation is urgent. I will return to Xudu to meet Cao Cao immediately! As for... there is a magical weapon in the blacksmith shop,
I’ll send someone to deliver the deposit tomorrow!”
Speaking of this, Cao Cao rolled his eyes and seemed to think of something again.
He turned around and said meaningfully.
"By the way, Brother Yi, Brother Yi needs to take some time to visit this resort near Guandu Port recently... There are many villagers there who are eagerly waiting for your new owner. You also need to meet them.
ah."
"Besides, the Linhuang River over there is quite unique and elegant, just listening to the sound of the waves. It's just the right place for Brother Yi to take the beauty out for some fun!"
Speaking of this, Cao Cao suddenly thought of something.
"I almost forgot, there is another one! Just this morning, I heard that a large Yellow River carp weighing more than 20 kilograms was caught in the resort. I was thinking about when to catch it with Brother Yi! But
Don’t be too late, this big carp from the Yellow River will lose its fatness if it becomes thinner!”
Phew...a big carp from the Yellow River, weighing twenty kilograms.
Don't tell me, Yi Xiaotian's mouth really watered when he heard this. He had never eaten such a big one before traveling through time. I guess a pot can't hold it at all, right?
Is it braised? Or steamed?
For a moment, Yi Xiaotian was still a little fanciful...
"Brother Hi, you have said so. Then I am going to prepare. In a few days, I will take Lingqi, Zhaoji, Diaochan and the other girls to the resort in Guandu to see the roaring Yellow River and taste this twenty kilograms of gluttonous fish feast.
…”
Hahaha…
Hearing this, Cao Cao laughed loudly, and his mood suddenly became extremely sad, as if a big stone in his heart suddenly fell to the ground.
Brother Yi agreed to go to Guandu...
This is a good thing. When problems arise, you don't have to travel long distances to ask him for advice.
In Cao Cao's view, this is crucial for the upcoming war between Cao and Yuan.
The sound of horse hoofbeats echoed outside the restaurant.
Cao Cao and Cao Ren quickly disappeared on the official road leading to Xudu City...
Yi Xiaotian looked out the window to the north...looking towards the direction of Guandu.
My heart is full of yearning...
The rolling Yellow River flows eastward, and the waves wash away the heroes' tears.
Now, the entire Han Dynasty...all eyes must be focused on Guandu!
It was really a lot of effort to hide this from my brother.
…
…
On that day, Cao Jun hurriedly mobilized his troops and horses, and Cao Cao personally took command. The army quickly rushed to Xuzhou with thunderous momentum.
This is a dangerous move... and the key to this battle is one word - quick!
This decision and the deployment of the three armies surprised all the counselors.
Cao Cao's use of troops is completely different from his previous style of pursuing stability and progress...this time he is seeking victory in danger.
Speaking of which, Cao Cao was very convinced of Yi Xiaotian's analysis.
Cao Cao knew very well that Brother Yi was very good at understanding people's hearts, good at analyzing and judging his opponents, and he was very good at reading minds. What was even more powerful was that he could quietly seize opportunities from his opponents' character flaws.
This time the fighting opportunity was won because of Yuan Shao's slow character.
It turns out…
Seeking victory in a stable manner, stable tactics may not necessarily lead to victory. Cao Cao's surprise attack like thunder and lightning...received excellent results.
In just three days, Cao Cao's army rushed to Xuzhou, and its troops were invincible... In half a day, they could reach Xiaopei City!
At this time, facing the surging offensive of Cao Jun, the one who was most confused, distressed, and wanted to cry the most was Liu Bei who was stationed in Xiaopei...
He never expected that things would change so quickly.
Liu Bei was enjoying a happy life in Xiaopei just a moment ago...
At the last moment, a tip came from the front - Cao Cao was coming.
At first glance, Liu Bei thought the report was funny? He personally led dozens of cavalry to find out...
Unexpectedly, as soon as they left the city and rushed to a high place, they saw the overwhelming Cao army coming like a mountain torrent and a tsunami.
That's not even the point...
The key point is that Liu Bei recognized a wave of golden armor among them, a small group of five large and three thick troops. After staying in Xudu City for a long time, Liu Bei was no stranger to this group of troops. They were the Tiger Army who personally protected Cao Cao...
The Huben Army is here, which means...Cao Cao is here in person!
Fast...really fast...
In shock, Liu Bei's face turned pale. He still knew himself. In terms of marching and fighting, how could he be Cao Cao's opponent? There was no need to fight this battle.
So, Liu Bei failed to live up to his expectations and did something that was looked down upon...
Of course, this is not the first time he has done this.
Liu Bei slipped away and fled... He didn't even care about his third brother Zhang Fei who was stationed in Xiaopei City, nor did he care about the two ladies Gan and Mi who were waiting for his return in the middle of the government office. He didn't even care about the two ladies Gan and Mi who were waiting for his return in Xiapi City. He didn't even care about Xiapi City being ready to rush to help at any time.
His second brother Guan Yu...
Hurry, Cao Cao came quickly, and Liu Bei ran quickly... faster than a rabbit.
After all, he is a professional. He can put aside all distracting thoughts during the escape process. This is also a magical skill he has developed in the first half of his life!
Overnight, Liu Bei sprinted three hundred miles and slipped to the north of the Yellow River, slipping to Yuan Shao's territory in Jizhou...
As for Xuzhou...
As for his wife...
As for his brother... there are only eight words - the mountains are high and the rivers are far away, we will meet again in the world.
…
…
Xuzhou, ten miles outside Xiapi City!
"Ha ha ha ha…"
In the military camp of Cao's army, in the large tent of the Chinese army, Cao Cao and all the civil and military personnel couldn't stop laughing.
Everyone was laughing at Liu Bei because he ran too fast. Not to mention the rabbit, even the ostrich and even the cheetah couldn't catch up!
"Liu Paopao, Liu Paopao..."
Xia Houyuan laughed heartily and joked while laughing. "I thought my marching speed was fast enough, but I didn't expect that Liu Paopao could run faster than me... I was really convinced. In terms of speed, I was defeated!"
"
Hahaha…
Xia Houyuan's marching speed was well-known in Cao's camp, and there was a saying in the army: Xia Houyuan, the commander of the Dian Army, could travel five hundred miles in three days and a thousand miles in six days! That is to say, he could travel five hundred miles in three days and a thousand miles in six days.
…
Now, even he is willing to lose, which shows how fast Liu Bei can run!
Of course, everyone can hear that this is a joke and irony towards Liu Bei...
Cao Cao was laughing too...
In addition to laughing at Liu Bei for being too cowardly, he admired Yi Xiaotian's judgment even more.
Because, just now he got the intelligence... Yuan Shaojun stood still, and there was no news that he was going to take advantage of Liu Bei's containment to advance.
Sure enough...
In today's world, no one in the world can be as accurate as Yi Xiaotian when it comes to analyzing and judging opponents, reading minds, and exploiting opponents' weaknesses to capture opportunities.
So... next...
The situation in Xuzhou has stabilized, leaving only the last isolated city in front of it - Xiapi City.
Speaking of which, Guan Yu, the defender of Pi City, is quite capable now.
However, after all, he doesn't have many soldiers under his command, and their combat effectiveness is not strong. It's what Yi Xiaotian mentioned - he is not afraid of opponents who are like gods, but he is afraid of teammates who are like pigs. He really can't lead them!
Continuing to garrison the city is like a cricket shaking a tree and a mantis using its arm as a chariot.
However, Cao Cao did not choose to attack by force, but used Liu Bei's news... to lure Guan Yu out of Xiapi.
Now, Xiapi City is about to be captured, and Guan Yu has been surrounded... Cao Cao immediately sent Zhang Liao, who had a good personal relationship with Guan Yu, to persuade him to surrender...
He was thinking about Brother Yi's instructions. In the battle between Cao and Yuan, the god general Guan Yu was crucial!
I don’t know what the outcome of the persuasion to surrender was?
