"Ziyuan, don't ask too many questions if you are a master or not..." Cao Cao said with a wisp of beard. "When you stay here for a long time, you will know everything."
Since...Cao Cao said so.
Xu You was too embarrassed to ask any more questions, so he simply threw out his plan. "Mr. Cao, I have a piece of secret information about Yuan Camp. All of Yuan Shao's food and grass are stored in..."
When Xu You finished speaking, Cao Cao pointed to the map and answered first, "Wuchao!"
Um...this...
If Xu You was just surprised in the previous conversation, now, his whole person has become extremely shocked.
Wuchao, Cao Cao actually knew?
Xu You's mind turned quickly. Could it be that...Cao Cao's scouts had come out? But...it doesn't make sense. Wuchao was the place where Yuan Shao had discussed with countless military advisors. The so-called most dangerous place is the safest place. Besides, there are many places along the way.
There are many levels set up. Not to mention Cao Ying's scouts, even a bird will not pass through. How could they be detected?
In fact, Cao Cao was also testing. After all, no one had verified the Wuchao proposed by Brother Yi. He needed more reliable information!
The extremely surprised expression on Xu You's face undoubtedly explained everything.
Wuchao must be Yuan Shao's place to store grain, and Brother Yi's judgment is as accurate and correct as ever.
Huh...Cao Cao exhaled, and the big stone in his heart finally fell to the ground safely.
"Cao Sikong, it seems that whether I, Xu You, come to your place, you can defeat Yuan Jun." Xu You sighed helplessly...
"Ziyuan, please don't say that." Cao Cao waved his hand. "Although I know that Wuchao is an important place for Yuan Jun to farm grain, this powerful medicine still lacks a primer!"
Um...Yiyin?
Xu Youduo is so smart, he immediately realized what...
"Haha" smiled, "Mr. Cao, ah Gong Cao, I am now convinced that there must be an expert by your side! As for this medicine guide...the secret code to Guandu, it is..."
…
…
In three days, a lot of things happened on the Guandu battlefield!
Liu Ye successfully improved the catapult into a thunderbolt chariot according to the manufacturing drawings designed by Yi Xiaotian. Countless boulders rose into the sky and were thrown straight to Yuan Jun's camp...
Those mounds of earth and arrow towers that troubled Cao Cao so much were like cannons blasting earthenware, and they fell apart in an instant.
This is not the point, the point is...Cao Cao can throw stones at Yuan's camp as he likes.
The key is that the power of these huge rocks is much greater than arrows, and the entire Yuan camp was smashed to pieces in half a day...
At this time, Yuan Shao collapsed!
I'm sorry, his technology tree is full, and Cao Cao's technology tree is not idle either... The situation has changed drastically, and now, it's him, Yuan Shao, who has to retreat.
In desperation, Yuan Shao ordered the three armies to retreat a thousand meters and set up camp again...
But before the new camp was set up, it was discovered that the water from the upstream canal was pouring down... The entire Yuan camp was washed to pieces again. Fortunately, Yuan Shao had many soldiers and could still defend it by erecting a human wall.
But... in desperation, Yuan Shao's camp retreated ten miles again.
call…
Looking at the scene where the canal water and the Guandu Walled City were also flooded, Yuan Shao couldn't help but sigh. Is Cao Cao crazy?
Of course, he didn't know that Cao Cao had already made preparations for flood control!
A large number of sandbags were piled up to block the raging canal water, and also gave Cao Cao and Guandu an opportunity to breathe and make a surprise attack.
…
Finally the fourth day...
Cao Cao stayed up almost all night. His eyes were always looking at the sky. He was waiting for Brother Yi's so-called solar eclipse... the so-called Tengu eclipse!
It came out after being called out for a long time...
Finally...the moment has arrived.
I saw the sun getting smaller and smaller, gradually turning into the shape of a crescent moon, a ship, and a sickle, and the sky gradually dimmed...
As the scope of the partial solar eclipse expands, the sun seems to be more and more powerless and can only emit the remaining rays of light. This feeling, even though it is already daytime, seems to have returned to the night before dawn.
Here we go, the Tengu Eclipse Day is really here!
Cao Cao was keenly aware of the opportunity, and he immediately ordered Cao Ren to order five thousand fine cavalry... and he rehearsed the strategy he had deployed early in the morning in his mind.
It seems... I always feel like there are some flaws.
According to Cao Cao's deduction, he led five thousand elite cavalry to surprise Wuchao, while Cao Hong led the remaining elites to hold on in Guandu...
When Yuan Shao heard that Wuchao had been robbed, he would definitely rush to help Wuchao and send troops to attack the Guandu camp at the same time.
At this time, there are two points to fight for. One is the speed with which Cao Cao can take down Wuchao, and the second is the protective power of Guandu.
Who knows, how Yuan Shao would send troops at this stall? Should he give priority to aiding Wuchao? Or should he make a desperate attempt to attack Guandu...
Cao Cao was unsure whether Wuchao could be successfully captured and Guandu could be defended...
The end of this battle was extremely dangerous and full of dangers... He actually started to retreat slightly in his heart.
But at this time.
"Mengde, Mengde..." Cao Ren hurried into the Chinese army's tent.
Cao Cao was still surprised. Didn't he order him to order troops? Why did he rush over here holding the bamboo slips high...
Don't wait for Cao Cao to ask.
Cao Ren has already handed over the bamboo slips. "It's Brother Yi...Brother Yi sent someone to give this bamboo slip to Mr. Hao. I didn't dare to delay, so I hurriedly sent it to my eldest brother."
As soon as I heard the word "Brother Yi".
Cao Cao's whole body trembled, and he hurriedly unfolded the bamboo slips, which were densely covered with small characters -
——The time has come. Master Hui must persuade Cao Cao to make a desperate move to capture Wuchao. There is no way to retreat in this battle. If we advance, Guandu will be victorious. The Yuan family will be destroyed. If we lose, the Central Plains will change owners. All our financial paths will be destroyed. This is
The key battle for Cao Cao to achieve hegemony is also the key battle for you and my brother to work together to expand business throughout the northern border. This battle...there is no room for failure!
Huo…
Cao Cao smiled awkwardly, "How did this happen? Brother Yi is still thinking about business!"
Thinking of this, Cao Cao clenched his fists slightly and murmured in his heart, if this battle is a big victory, how difficult would it be for me, Cao Cao, to help Brother Yi expand his business throughout the northern border?
Thinking of this...Cao Cao continued to look down.
——Yuan Shao has an indecisive character and internal civil and military rifts. Hearing that Wuchao was robbed, he will definitely abandon Wuchao and choose the main force to attack Guandu and encircle Wei to save Zhao! However, Wuchao is the food and lifeblood of Yuan's army. The battle in Wuchao is unknown.
The Yuan army on the front line was determined not to fight the battle wholeheartedly. Although there were few troops in Guandu, as long as they could hold on until the news of Wuchao's victory came back, the morale of the enemy army would definitely collapse. The entire army's attack would take advantage of the situation, which could induce Yuan's army to switch sides!
Huo…
In just a few words, Yi Xiaotian's handwriting on this bamboo slip analyzed almost all of Cao Cao's concerns.
The more Cao Cao listened, the more excited he became...
He immediately shouted, "Where is General Cao Hong?"
"The general is here!" Cao Hong stood up with his hands raised.
"Zilian, if Yuan Jun's army comes to invade, I don't care how many people he brings, you must hold on... you must hold on for three hours!"
At first, Cao Cao's tone was hesitant, but...in the end, his tone was shaken and his expression became much more determined.
"Zilian, I only need three hours. Yuan's army's food and grass will be burned, and the news of Wuchao's defeat will definitely come. At that time, when the enemy's morale is low and their morale is low, you can lead the army to attack and defeat Yuan's army in one battle.
"
Speaking of this, Cao Cao did not forget to order Xun You, the military advisor who stayed in Guandu. "Gongda, when Yuan Jun falls into a passive position, you must remember the four words 'make the best use of the situation to induce the enemy to defect'!"
Huh... Xun You exhaled a long breath.
Cao Cao's intention was very clear. He would first defend to the death, then wait for the situation to change and lead his troops to attack. Finally, wait for the enemy to fall into complete passivity and directly persuade them to surrender.
This battle hasn't even started yet. Has Cao Cao already planned it to this point?
