Chapter 257 Yan Liang is also the first to pretend to be a god in Hebei
Chapter 257: The best pretentious general in Hebei, Yan Liang
call…
Make noise in the east and attack in the west, use light troops to cover the attack!
Cao Cao took a breath and thought about it carefully.
Before he could figure out the meaning, Yi Xiaotian's words continued to spread.
"Brother Hide, you have to understand one fact, that is, the strength of Yuan's army is always superior to that of Cao's army. If Cao Cao wants to defeat Yuan Shao, the first thing he needs to do is to disperse, mobilize Yuan Shao's troops, make them run exhausted, and make them focus on one thing at the expense of the other!"
"Besides, Yuan Shao is very suspicious, but we can't wait for him to take the initiative to make this hesitation. We have to do something to bring out his suspicious temperament...for example..."
At this point, Yi Xiaotian shut his mouth and gave up.
This made Cao Cao anxious. The enemies were all coming to kill him. Brother Yi was still in a leisurely mood, so he was just trying to get away with it!
"Brother Yi..." Cao Cao couldn't wait to put his face on Yi Xiaotian's mouth. "You...you should tell me that this is imminent...the situation will change again if we fail to protect everything later."
"Haha..." Looking at Cao Cao's anxious look, Yi Xiaotian smiled slightly. Suddenly, he found that Brother Miao was jumping up and down like a monkey...
Ahem...
Seeing that "monkey"'s face was about to explode with anxiety, Yi Xiaotian coughed without any hesitation and said loudly.
"Brother, let's not rush to save Baima Village. The most feasible way is to persuade Cao Cao to personally lead the main force to Yanjin and look like he is preparing to cross the Yellow River to attack Yuan Shao's rear... In this way, Yuan Shao's
Suspiciousness will inevitably arise again, and he is worried that the rear will be captured by Cao's army, so he will move the main force westward to prevent Cao's army from crossing the Yellow River from Yanjin north."
"When Yuan Jun's attention is focused on the west side, Cao Cao only needs to send a general to quickly return to Baima, advance lightly and forcefully, and create a time lag. In this way, he can form a local military advantage in Baima, and there is no need to worry about Yuan Shao's attack.
Rushing for reinforcements...at the very least, it buys time for the rescue of White Horse City."
"When the time comes, Yan Liang, the famous general from Hebei, will definitely be caught off guard!"
Speaking of this, Yi Xiaotian clicked his tongue and asked solemnly. "Brother Hide, taste it carefully! This is the so-called 'attack in the east and attack in the west with light troops'."
Phew... As soon as Yi Xiaotian's specific plan came out, Cao Cao was shocked.
However, this surprise soon stopped, and he was overjoyed.
——This method is good.
The more Cao Cao got, the more he felt that Brother Yi's strategy of attacking in the east and attacking in the west with light troops to cover the attack was very clever.
He once again took advantage of Yuan Shao's suspicious weakness, which not only prevented Yuan Shao from rushing to rescue Yan Liang's tribe, but also attracted Yuan Shao's main force, so that he did not dare to act rashly...
This is simply a further improvement of Cao Cao's plan to flank Cao Cao, making it foolproof!
Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful…
What kept popping up in Cao Cao's mind was the big word "Miao", which was even more wonderful than the Miao Crisp Corner.
Cao Cao was about to praise him.
But as soon as the words came to his lips, he suddenly thought of something.
Wait, no... This strategy is wonderful, but there is still a huge problem in the middle, a difficult problem that has not yet been solved.
That was the time for Yuan Shao to suddenly wake up and the combat effectiveness of our Qingqi...
You know, even if Yuan Shao fell into the trap and moved the main army westward, when Cao's army advanced lightly and returned to Baima, he would wake up immediately and send reinforcements immediately...
In other words, Brother Yi's plan can buy some time for Cao's army, but in fact it cannot completely eliminate Yuan Shao's reinforcements.
On Cao Cao's side, the actions and speed of sending an admiral to fight back against White Horse were down to the last detail...
If it were early, Yuan Shao would see through their intentions.
If it's too late, Baima Walled City will be lost.
It can be said that Brother Yi's plan is a critical moment, and it is also a gamble. It is just a big gamble where the winning or losing is completely in his own hands!
You have to be fast enough, fierce enough, and brave enough to be foolproof.
Also... Yuan Jun was commanded by Shuangsha of Hebei in this battle, and Yan Liang, one of the Four Court Pillars of Hebei, which general should he send to blitz him?
Xia Houyuan may march quickly, but in terms of martial arts, he may not be Yan Liang's opponent.
Xiahou Dun acted impulsively. He might be able to kill Yan Liang with his martial arts skills, but he always had a series of unstable factors.
As for Dian Wei and Xu Chu, their martial arts were good, but commanding troops in battle was not their strong point.
Brother Yi put it simply, send a general back to Baima and advance with ease. Damn, who is this general? How to choose?
Cao Cao suddenly felt like he was beating his chest, and his facial expression became stiff, like a fossil solidified in amber.
Yi Xiaotian noticed his expression and asked curiously.
"Brother Hide, there's something wrong with your expression. Why do you feel like you're about to cry?"
"well…"
Cao Cao sighed heavily.
"Brother Yi, there is nothing wrong with your plan, but if I think about it carefully... this is also a big gamble. If Cao Jun doesn't kill Yan Liang's tribe within a short period of time, and Yuan Shao reacts and sends reinforcements to help Baima, then...
But tigers come in at the front door, and wolves come in at the back door..."
Cao Cao immediately put aside the doubts in his mind... and his whole person seemed extremely nervous.
Unexpectedly, Cao Cao was in trouble, but Yi Xiaotian was still very relaxed. He even grinned and smiled.
"Brother Hiding, how do you increase other people's ambitions and destroy your own prestige? Why do tigers come in at the front door and wolves come in at the back door... If the tiger at the front door is killed before the wolf at the back door arrives, then the wolf at the back door will definitely be deterred.
Just fearful and unable to move forward... Isn't the White Horse Walled City defended?"
Uh...kill the tiger?
Cao Cao trembled all over, Brother Yi really couldn't stop talking without saying anything surprising.
Doesn't this just circle back to the previous question? Who should be sent to blitz Yan Liang... He has to be fast, have high martial arts skills, and have excellent troop leadership. Looking at Cao's camp, only Zhang Liao and Xia Houyuan can barely do half the job.
Where can I find someone who is fully qualified?
With this in mind, Cao Cao continued to ask.
"Brother Yi... can you tell me? Who in Cao's camp has the ability to enter the wolf at the back door and directly kill the tiger at the front door?
At this point, Cao Cao knocked on his forehead... Anyway, he racked his brains and couldn't figure it out.
But at this moment, a name blurted out from Yi Xiaotian's mouth.
His voice was loud and clear, and his tone was extremely determined...
It's as if once this person comes out, Hebei General Yan Liang is nothing more than a chicken and a dog, or a fish in a net or a bird in a cage, unable to escape no matter what...
As for his name——
——"Guan Yu, Guan Yunchang!"
Along with Yi Xiaotian's clear voice, the names of Guan Yu and Guan Yunchang appeared vividly, and it seemed that for a moment, the entire dark night was illuminated for a moment!
Well…Guan Yunchang!
Cao Cao was startled, and he quickly knocked on his forehead. Why didn't he expect such a great general?
Yes... Guan Yu and Guan Yunchang, he was skilled in martial arts, marched quickly, and commanded strong troops...
Back then, when he faced Hua Xiong, a fierce general from Xiliang, he beheaded him with one blow. If he could not save his life, he would face Yan Liang...
Cao Cao felt fascinated. He vaguely felt that the strategy proposed by Brother Yi and the person recommended by Brother Yi... were a perfect match. If they went to rescue Baima and attack Yan Liang, it might be feasible, it could be done.
However...Cao Cao still has some small questions in his mind.
He immediately proposed. "Brother Yi, it is true that this attack in the east and west has bought time for our army, and Guan Yu's strength is also quite reassuring, but... if Yan Liang shrinks and drags him down... to stand firm and wait for help, then..."
This was Cao Cao's last concern.
It’s no wonder he thinks so, but any military general with a brain will definitely choose to stand firm and wait for reinforcements when faced with an enemy on both sides...
Yan Liang is a famous general in Hebei, so he should still have this insight, right?
Cao Cao looked troubled... It seemed that throughout the night, because of the battle situation, his expression never improved.
But at this time.
Hahahaha... Yi Xiaotian let out a hearty laugh.
"Brother Hiding...you probably don't know Yan Liang's weaknesses yet, right?"
Ah...Yan Liang? Weakness?
Cao Cao was startled, and before he could think about it carefully, Yi Xiaotian's words came out one after another.
"Yan Liang has a huge weakness - pretense. The so-called pretense will be struck by lightning...Brother Zhi, how about we make a bet. I bet that if Guan Yu goes to battle, Yan Liang will survive a face-to-face encounter!"
In a nutshell…
What came to Yi Xiaotian's mind was a famous general who was very pretentious in history - Hebei General Yan Liang!
As for how pretentious it is...
When Yi Xiaotian thought of it, he couldn't help but smile.
