Chapter 349: The sword is already hungry and thirsty
all of a sudden…
Cao Cao was in a state of confusion.
Brother Yi's convoy was plundered by the Xiliang cavalry. It would be incredible if he could escape.
However, Brother Yi did not escape. Not only did he not escape? He also... also set fire to burn the two thousand Xiliang cavalry. This is incredible enough.
The key is that Huben's soldiers were not damaged at all.
He was stunned and even captured one of Ma Teng's sons and one daughter. Who was robbing whom? Cao Cao, who knew the truth, almost shed tears...
He suddenly felt that the positions of hunter and prey had suddenly reversed.
Brother Yi and fifty tiger soldiers are the hunters, right? The two thousand Xiliang cavalry are all prey, right?
"Quick... let's send a letter by express delivery."
Cao Cao's tone was hesitant and stumbling... He hurriedly took the letter, opened it quickly, read it word by word, and read it carefully... The more he read, the more surprised he became, and the more he read, the more surprised he became.
My dear, the content in the letter is basically the same as what Huben Jun submitted!
The letter was written and sent by someone sent by Dianwei. There is absolutely nothing wrong with it. So... this... this is true. In Brother Yi's hands, thousands of Xiliang cavalry were wiped out in ashes. So... good means, so... so domineering.
s method!
Cao Cao was extremely shocked. He felt that he had underestimated Yi Xiaotian.
After all, he is an expert with unparalleled insight, judgment of the current situation, wisdom like a demon, and an infallible plan... A mere team of Xiliang cavalry, even if they are not fully protected, are really no match for him!
Ha ha…
When he thought of this, Cao Cao couldn't help laughing. "Wonderful...wonderful!"
He suddenly retracted all his original worries. He felt that the move of letting Brother Yi go to Guanzhong was simply wonderful.
Now that's good, Brother Yi gave the princes in Guanzhong a rather shocking showdown as soon as he arrived at Tongguan, not to mention that he still had two hostages in his hands. I'm afraid the next thing will be much easier to handle!
etc…
While his mind was racing, Cao Cao noticed a sentence mentioned in the letter. Yi Xiaotian released the enemy general, released Ma Teng's son and daughter, and even handed them back evidence of Ma Teng's rebellion. This...
Cao Cao, who was originally smiling, suddenly frowned a lot. What is the purpose of Brother Yi's step?
Logically speaking…
With two hostages in hand, he could negotiate terms with Ma Teng and even force them to withdraw from the war between Cao and Yuan, but now...
Cao Cao's mind was racing. For about ten breaths, he shook his head and still couldn't figure it out.
"That's all..."
Cao Cao waved his hand, thinking in his mind, "Brother Yi's move must be meaningful, we'll wait and see... If we don't guarantee it, the next time we receive a letter, the situation in Guanzhong will be stable!"
Thinking of this, Cao Cao grinned and smiled slightly... Brother Yi is always so unexpected, but he should relax when doing things.
At this moment…
"Mengde, Mengde..." A rapid and violent voice sounded outside the Chinese army's tent.
Cao Cao could tell that the person coming was none other than Xiahou Dun...
These days, due to the slow movement of the army, Xiahou Dun feels uncomfortable... so there is an extremely suffocating sound in his voice, like constipation.
"Yuan Rang...what's all the fuss about?"
Cao Cao was not surprised by Xiahou Dun's visit, and simply advised him to march quickly.
In the past few days, because of this matter, Xiahou Dun came to look for him almost every day... He was even more punctual than his aunt.
"Yes...it's a messenger from the north!"
Xiahou Dun seemed quite excited. "It was sent by that boy Yuan Tan, the boss of Yuan... It was said that the Yecheng brothers turned against each other. Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang were fighting. The whole Yecheng was now filled with sounds of killing and a sea of fire..."
It seemed that it was because he spoke too hastily and crisply, and also because Xiahou Dun was so excited.
Just after finishing this, he wanted to continue to say something... but found that his throat was stuck, cough... coughed twice quickly, and then continued to speak.
"Meng De, Yuan Lao San can't defeat Yuan Lao San. This time he sent an envoy to surrender to us and is willing to help us capture Jizhou... I thought to myself, why don't we go south? Just go north and kill him Yuan in one go.
The third oldest Jizhou! Isn’t it beautiful?”
Xiahou Dun's remarks finally came out...
Hey, Cao Cao's whole body was shaken, and his spirit was lifted... Good news just came from the west, and good news came back from the north one after another. There are so many happy events!
The current situation is exactly what Brother Yi predicted.
Even...Cao Cao was thinking, isn't this Battle of Jizhou a replica of the Battle of Xuzhou a few years ago?
Back then, Cao Cao used the strategy of two tigers to seduce Liu Bei and Lu Bu to conquer each other...
Then, Liu Bei, who was delighted to hear this, surrendered to Cao Cao, joined forces to conquer Lu Bu in one fell swoop, and successfully allowed Cao Cao to steal the fruits of Xuzhou's victory.
Now, isn't this Yuan Tan upright, upright, upright? Isn't it the same Liu Bei who used to run around with his head in his arms, as frightened as a bereaved dog? Then Yuan Shang's look of decline seems to be the same as Lu Bu's before he cooled off.
Watching the fire from the other side, reaping the benefits, now... the time has come, it is time to pacify Jizhou in one fell swoop and put Brother Yi's plan into practice.
hiss…
Cao Cao was overjoyed. "Quick, Yuan Rang, bring Yuan Tan's envoy to see me quickly!"
"Right outside the door!" Xiahou Dun shouted, immediately exited the Chinese army's tent, and brought Yuan Tan's envoy in...
"Little Xinpi has seen Duke Cao..." Seeing Cao Cao, Yuan Tan's envoy hurriedly knelt down...
Hmm...Cao Cao was slightly startled.
He asked with a smile. "You represent your master Yuan Tan, and I represent the great man Sikong? We each have our own masters. Why do you kneel to me directly when we meet?"
This was a joke. Cao Cao felt that Yuan Tan's subordinates were too cowardly.
The exchange of envoys between the two armies could not be more frequent.
But I have never seen an envoy kneel to Cao Cao as soon as he met him. It was so strange!
"As the saying goes, a good bird chooses a tree to roost in, and a good time chooses its master to do its work. I, Xinpi, am kneeling to the Lord of Ming, and what I seek is rebellion!"
Simpi is very good at talking...
This sentence directly shows that, hell, I am Yuan Tan's envoy in name, but in fact, I want to surrender to Duke Cao...
Xinpi? As soon as the name spread.
Cao Cao was slightly startled. He had the impression that Yuan Shao had this name in his group of advisers, and he could be considered the number one figure.
hehe…
Cao Cao was immediately happy. Sure enough, following Brother Yi's plan step by step, everything seemed to become much easier. Isn't he worried that he didn't have much information about the enemy? Yuan Tan's counselor took the initiative
Come vote.
Should this be said to be Cao Cao's luck? Or is it Brother Yi's careful planning?
Hahaha...whatever!
When he thought of this, Cao Cao laughed sadly. "Xinpi, you are right! Follow me and Cao Cao, you are following the court and the Yuan brothers. That is a traitor and a traitor to the party. You have made a very big move."
Wise decision, I, Cao Cao, am very pleased!"
"Cao Gongmiao praised it."
Xin Pi handed over his hand, and he directly told the truth. "Actually, Yuan Tan's surrender was not really a surrender. He couldn't defeat Yuan Shang. He wanted to use Cao Gong to defeat Yuan Shang and drive away tigers and devour wolves... He secretly sent Yuan Shang's troops to
Collect everyone and compete with Duke Cao again!"
Huh...Cao Cao exhaled.
All of a sudden, he had a feeling. He felt like he had seen through how many pairs of trousers Yuan Shang and Yuan Tan were wearing today. Xin Pi's information was simply too good to be true.
For a moment, Cao Cao had a feeling that Brother Yi was by his side.
This feeling is like playing a game with an opponent. He has definitely seen all the opponent's cards, and it is almost obvious that he is playing? In this way, how can he not win?
Cao Cao nodded meaningfully.
Then he asked... "What does Mr. Xinpi think? What should I, Cao Cao, do?"
"Send troops immediately to defeat Jizhou first, and then seize Qingzhou!"
Xinpi directly gave the most feasible suggestion and then explained it in detail.
"Now Yuan Shang and Yuan Tan have just fought fiercely in Yecheng. Therefore, Yuan Tan suffered a disastrous defeat, but Yuan Shang also won a disastrous victory. After the three great battles of Guandu, Cangting, and Yecheng, the Yuan family's foundation is about to be lost.
Both sides of them did not have many soldiers and horses, and Yuan Shang was extremely short of military resources, food and grass... If they could not ensure enough, Yuan Shang would use the help of Shen Pei to attack several big merchants in Ye City. At this time, Yuan Shang was angry and resentful.
, Duke Cao’s army passed by, they must have returned with a great victory without losing any blood! As for what happened next... after plotting to conquer Jizhou, Yuan Tan of Qingzhou didn’t let Duke Cao tease him at will!”
Well…
After Xin Pi's reminder, Cao Cao was very pleased. He felt that everything was stable!
But... it seems that because Xin Pi mentioned something about a big merchant, Cao Cao suddenly thought of a woman next to Brother Yi - Zhen Luo!
Yes, there is Erqiao in the south, the pretty Zhen Mi from Zhen Mi in Hebei...
Xin Pi's words should not be false, so... now that the daughter of the Zhen family has escaped and broke her engagement with Yuan Laoer, then... is the Zhen family in danger?
Cao Cao suddenly became distracted, and he became worried about the Zhen family...
But soon, Cao Cao calmed down. He knew Brother Yi's temperament. The so-called love for the house and the bird meant that Brother Yi probably had a plan for this calamity to the Zhen family in Hebei!
In this case... then...
After coming back to his senses, Cao Cao narrowed his eyes, with a hint of solemnity and solemnity in his eyes.
He waved his arms and immediately gave orders. "The three armies are ordered to set off immediately. They will only prepare food and grass for fifteen days. I will fight to Yecheng within ten days, and I will capture Yecheng within fifteen days at most!"
When it came time for Brother Yi to plan the most critical final battle, Cao Cao did not dare to slack off...
They simply broke the boat and went south slower than a tortoise. This time the Northern Expedition to Jizhou, haha... was faster than a rabbit! Withdrawal on the 30th, they had to make a beautiful comeback on the 10th!
"Here..."
"Here..."
Cao Ren and Xiahou Dun accepted the order...
In Cao Ren's view, the drama of "acting skills" on the way south is finally over. After the military strategy, the real battle comes next. This battle is related to Brother Yi's overall plan, and there is no room for error.
.
On the contrary, it was Xiahou Dun who was extremely excited.
Finally, he no longer has to go south like a turtle, and can finally go north to fight. For a fighting madman like him, there is only one sentence left - Xiahou Dun's sword is already thirsty!
