Chapter 280: Surprise attack on Wuchao? No, the time has not come yet
"Brother Hi, have you brought a map?"
Yi Xiaotian was thinking...
If you just talk about it with words, it will definitely not be clear. It is better to point it out on the map.
Cao Cao turned his eyes and looked directly at Cao Ren. At this time, Cao Ren also cooperated with the carp and stood up. He hurriedly took out the map from his arms and handed it to Yi Xiaotian.
Yi Xiaotian moved another desk, put the two desks together, and soon covered the desk with maps... slowly unfolded...
This is a topographic map along the Yellow River. It records the topography from Liyang City to Yanjin Village, Baima Village, and then to Guandu Port. Naturally, it also includes the small ports and small towns, such as those located forty miles north of Yuan Shao's camp.
Wuchao on the south side of Yanjin Village...
It was precisely when he noticed the Wuchao that Yi Xiaotian's eyes suddenly lit up.
He pointed directly at Wuchao. "Brother Hao, I am very sure that the place where Yuan Shao hides his grain is at Wuchao!"
Hmm...Wuchao.
Cao Cao's eyes quickly found Wuchao, and together with that, he carefully observed the terrain near Wuchao on the map...
Cao Ren also came up, he was chirping.
"Brother, Wuchao is just a small place. It is surrounded by open mountains with an unobstructed view. It is impossible to ambush or hide soldiers and horses. If Yuan Jun stores grain here, there will not be many soldiers deployed there."
Speaking of this, Cao Ren shook his head. "Yuan Shao shouldn't be so confused as to hide the most important food and grass here? This is so unreasonable!"
Hearing this, Cao Cao just stared at the map coldly without saying a word!
To be honest, Cao Cao is smart enough and can often think of things that others don't think of. Of course, even he... will make mistakes, but once he is reminded, Cao Cao suddenly realizes something.
As if all of a sudden, Yuan Shao's tricks were revealed without reservation, as if the clouds had lifted up and the sun appeared...
There was even a moment...
Cao Cao felt that he knew what color underwear Yuan Shao wore.
"Haha...Yuan Shao, aren't you stupid?"
Cao Cao breathed softly and whispered. "The most dangerous place is the safest place. Yuan Shao was very clever in hiding the army rations this time. No wonder Cao Jun sent out countless scouts but failed to find the enemy's rations."
…That’s it, that’s it!”
With a fierce punch, Cao Cao hit the map.
"Brother Yi, you are wiser and can better understand Yuan Shao's thoughts..."
At this point, Cao Cao changed the topic. "I'm going to tell Cao Cao that tonight I will select a team of elite cavalry to fight to Wuchao overnight... The decisive battle is about to begin."
Cao Cao's whole body suddenly exuded a fierce killing intent.
To be more precise, Cao Cao has endured and suffered for a long time, and now he has reached the point where he has run out of ammunition and food and can no longer bear it.
Now that Brother Yi pointed out the place where Yuan Shao's army was storing food, Cao Cao felt that it was credible... It was urgent to burn Wuchao before the army's food was exhausted, and completely reverse the situation in Guandu.
This is the most critical moment, there is no reason to retreat.
As he spoke, Cao Cao suddenly became excited. This time he was so anxious that he didn't even bother to say goodbye to Yi Xiaotian...
However, it seems that Yi Xiaotian still has something to say here.
He grabbed Cao Cao...
"Brother, don't panic, the time has not come yet!"
Well... the time has not come yet?
Now Cao Cao's mood is as if tens of thousands of grass and mud horses are running wildly in his heart, and the whole person is eager to try. If someone says "the time has not come yet" and there is no guarantee, Cao Cao will punch it...
But it happened to be Brother Yi.
With Zhu Yu in front, Brother Yi has always made every move. Since he stopped him, he must still have concerns about this battle...
Cao Cao calmed down immediately. He turned around and asked urgently, "Brother Yi? The place where Yuan Jun's grain garrison was is exposed. Why do you say that the time has not come yet? Now... Cao Cao's camp can no longer sustain the grain for half a month.
Got it!"
Cao Cao's tone was extremely urgent...
The complete opposite is Yi Xiaotian's calmness...
"Calm down...calm down!" Yi Xiaotian slowly stood up and patted Cao Cao's shoulder gently. "Brother Xi, always stay calm..."
It seemed...it felt like Cao Cao's mood had calmed down a bit before Yi Xiaotian continued to speak.
"Brother Hiding, let me ask you, Cao and Yuan's camps are so close together...every move of both sides is under the eyes of the other side? If Cao Cao ordered his elite cavalry to surprise Wuchao, how could Yuan Shao not notice it?"
"If Yuan Jun rushes to help at the first time, then... this will not be a surprise attack, but a lone army that will go deep in and be captured! By then, the blame for the defeat of this battle will definitely have to be hidden from my brother!"
Ah...it seems, seems, seems to make some sense.
The more Cao Cao thought about it, the more he felt afraid that he had been careless and negligent, and almost made a big mistake on impulse.
With this in mind, Cao Cao patted his chest and slowly sat down again. Now he was much calmer.
"Brother Yi? Then... how to do it? How can we hide it from Yuan Jun's eyes?" Cao Cao asked urgently.
"First of all..." Yi Xiaotian organized his words slightly. "The camps of both sides are too close, which is conducive to Yuan Shao's positional warfare and not conducive to Cao Cao's surprise attack. Therefore, the top priority is to find a way to push back Yuan's army. The farther the distance between the two sides, the better."
The better…”
Huh...the farther the better?
Cao Cao's thoughts changed rapidly. According to Yi Xiaotian's idea, Cao Cao really thought of a way.
He quickly took out the manufacturing drawing of the "Thunderbolt Car" from his arms...
"Brother Yi? Cao Cao can use the range of this Thunderbolt Chariot to drive back Yuan's army!"
Yes, there is nothing wrong with Cao Cao's thinking.
The range of the Thunderbolt Chariot exceeds one thousand meters. In other words, if the camps of the two armies are within a thousand meters, he can use the Thunderbolt Chariot to continuously throw stones at Yuan's camp to force them back.
But...it seems that even if the distance between the two parties is more than a thousand meters, the distance is still too close and they still can't avoid each other's eyes.
When he thought of this, Cao Cao frowned again.
"Brother Hide, what you mentioned is also a method...but it still cannot solve the fundamental problem."
Yi Xiaotian seemed to see the melancholy in Cao Cao's heart. He pointed to a canal five miles north of Guandu Port...
"In my opinion, it is better to simply ask Cao Cao to dig a canal and flood Guandu Port. In this way, Yuan Jun will not be able to retreat even if he wants to."
Phew... Guandu Port was flooded.
Cao Cao was shocked... He discovered for the first time that Brother Yi was not only a ruthless man, but also a wolf killer. He dug canals and water flowed down...
Not only was this able to force Yuan's army back, but it also flooded the grain road at Guandu Port, completely cutting off supplies. This was simply a way to lose one thousand to the enemy and eight hundred to oneself!
But...it seems that only in this way can we get a chance to win in the battle between Cao and Yuan, and win the hope of victory!
Damn it, do it, try hard!
Cao Cao clenched his hands and took a deep breath, as if he had made up his mind.
He was about to open his mouth to express his attitude...but suddenly something occurred to him.
Wait, it’s still wrong!
It is true that digging canals to irrigate Yuan's military camp and forcing Yuan Shao back dozens of miles can provide a breathing space for the army that has been exhausted from long battles, and can also help him launch a surprise attack on Wuchao!
But...didn't Yuan Jun place any scouts to gather information along the way?
Thousands of fine knights could not make a sound even if their horses' feet were wrapped in cloth, but the moon was shining in the sky... under the scattered beams of light, the eyes of Yuan Jun's scouts were not blind, and they could still detect the news immediately.
And... Wuchao Tun, the important grain land, must have many checkpoints along the way. If there is no secret code to clear the level, what will happen to these checkpoints? Do you have to kill them one by one? In this way, wouldn't the surprise attack force be completely exposed?
.
Well…
Thinking of this, Cao Cao, who was originally in a relaxed mood, became nervous again.
The surprise attack on Wuchao seemed like a wonderful move to reverse the situation, but there were too many details in the process. If one mistake was not made, Cao Cao would probably be buried here and his soul would return to Kansai.
Thoughts on this…
Cao Cao only raised his eyes and looked at Yi Xiaotian with great longing.
At this moment, he can only place his hope on this omnipotent Brother Yi!
