Cao Cao, who rushed back here, did not dare to stop for a moment. He summoned a group of advisers and generals to deploy Yi Xiaotian's plan immediately. In terms of execution, Cao Cao has always been vigorous and resolute, not to mention this time... it is related to the pacification of the entire Liaodong.
The elimination of the remnants of the Yuan family was even related to Brother Yi's safety, and Cao Cao did not dare to be careless.
"Zixiao, you secretly led your troops to station at Hukou Pass, which is the junction of Jizhou and Bingzhou. The location is very important. If any high-ranking official has a disobedient heart, he will immediately raise the banner and clear the country like thunder and lightning..."
"Here..." Cao Ren accepted the order with his hands raised.
"Zhicai, Gongda, please quickly send envoys to the King of Xianbei and the Chanyu of the Southern Xiongnu, inviting them to pay attention to the situation in Bingzhou. If the senior officials do something wrong, order them to send troops to conquer!"
"Here!" Xi Zhicai and Xun You nodded...
call…
Speaking of this, Cao Cao exhaled and thought for a moment. "Miaocai, Yuan Rang, you should rush to Chang'an immediately to join Zhong Yao, order your troops and horses, and unite the princes in Guanzhong to prepare to go north at any time..."
Word after word came out, Cao Cao's military orders were in order, Cao Ren stocked up the main troops at Hukou Pass, ready to attack Bingzhou at any time;
Playing Zhicai, Xun You is responsible for uniting with Xianbei and Xiongnu, and rushing to help at any time;
Xiahou Dun and Xiahou Yuan cooperated with Zhong Yao and united the princes of Guanzhong and Yongliang to launch a northward attack on Bingzhou.
In this way, attacking Bingzhou from the four directions of east, west, south and north is not the "embattled on all sides" plan proposed by Yi Xiaotian!
Everyone nodded after hearing this...
It is true that everyone knows that Bingzhou is mountainous and easy to defend and difficult to attack, but Cao Cao's deployment this time is to spread the battlefield to all directions and break down the advantages of high-ranking cadres bit by bit.
It is said that a hero cannot be defeated by four people, and even a good man is afraid of being beaten by a group of people...
It’s okay if the high-ranking officials in Bingzhou don’t rebel. If they really want to rebel, how can they withstand the attacks coming from all directions?
If we focus on one thing and lose the other, it is only a matter of time before Bingzhou is encroached upon.
For a while…
Cao Ren, Xiahou Dun, and Xia Houyuan didn't feel anything yet, while Xun You and Xi Zhicai looked at each other, thinking more deeply.
Cao Cao's layouts are very exciting, but they are all based on the premise that high-ranking officials will rebel. In other words, will high-ranking officials really rebel? Based on the current situation in the north, if he forces a rebellion, he is not asking for it.
Perished?
Of course, Xun You and Xi Zhicai did not take the initiative to raise this question, but buried this question in their hearts. There is nothing wrong with Cao Cao's move to prevent it from happening...
only…
"Mr. Cao." Xi Zhi took a step forward. "Recently, I heard that the Wuhuan forces in Liaodong are ready to move. One of them, the Qiao King, has sent tens of thousands of troops to the border of Youzhou. I'm worried..."
Xi Zhicai didn't finish a sentence, but the meaning was very clear.
If Cao Cao followed Cao Cao's arrangement, although he could prevent the rebellion of Bingzhou's high-ranking officials,... facing the southward march of King Wuhuanqiao, his military strength would be stretched thin.
You can't... the main force goes to guard against tigers, but turn a blind eye to this hungry wolf - the Wuhuanqiao King tribe, right?
Xi Zhicai has heard a lot about the bravery and cruelty of King Wuhuanqiao.
"What's more..." Xun You also reminded. "Not only King Qiao, the largest tribe in Wuhuan, Tadun, is our real threat. They protect Yuan Shang and Yuan Xi. The meaning is very obvious.
, they want to fight against us. I heard that the number of Tadun tribe’s cavalry is no less than 70,000, and each of them is very good at bow and horse. Even our heavy cavalry, iron-armored tiger and leopard cavalry, may not be able to win in a battle on the plain!"
Speaking of this, Xun You and Xi Zhicai's faces suddenly darkened, looking very unhappy.
I originally thought that with the four northern states in my pocket, I would be able to live a peaceful life for a few days.
It's a pity, it's a pity, new problems are being thrown one after another, including the duplicity of Bingzhou officials, the absconding remnants of the Yuan family who are trying to revive, and the two tribes of Wuhuan and Huan are eyeing...
It seems that we are still far away from the dream of peaceful days!
"Are they Qiao Wang and Tadun of Wuhuan?"
Cao Cao repeated these two names that made Xun You and Xi Zhicai quite fearful, and then narrowed his eyes slightly.
At boarding time, the atmosphere in the entire government office was a little tense and cold.
But at this moment...
"Ha ha ha ha!"
Cao Cao laughed heartily. He suddenly stood up and walked to Xun You and Xi Zhicai. He reached out and patted their shoulders respectively. "You two strategists, don't worry. I have my own considerations for Wuhuan. They won't be able to stay around for long."
Got it!"
At this point, Cao Cao blinked his eyes and looked very confident.
Xi Zhicai and Xun You were confused after hearing this, and they were still thinking about asking more questions.
Cao Cao's voice came out one after another.
"Everyone, you must do what I tell you, Wuhuan, the remnants of the Yuan family, and Bingzhou, hahaha... all of this will be settled soon."
The laughter was hearty and the tone was even more determined.
In Cao Cao's view, there would be no flaws in Yi Xiaotian's plan.
He has properly deployed Bingzhou. As for Wuhuan, hehe, just leave it to Brother Yi. He will handle the affairs. What does Cao Cao have to worry about?
…
Xun You, Xi Zhicai and other Yingchuan counselors left first.
Xia Houdun, Xia Houyuan and other Qiao Peixun nobles also dispersed one by one.
Cao Cao did not dare to stop at all, and urgently summoned a group of generals...
They are Zhang Liao, Zhang He, Yue Jin, Yu Jin and Xu Huang.
It was completely different from his previous attitude when discussing matters. This time, Cao Cao was very serious and his brows were always furrowed. Anyone could see that the matter he was about to mention was extremely important.
"I'm afraid you don't know what I, Cao Cao, want to ask of you, right?"
After seemingly pondering for a long time, Cao Cao finally spoke.
Rarely, he mentioned the word "please" in his words.
call out…
All of a sudden, the five generals couldn't help but tremble. Is it necessary for the atmosphere to be so ecstatic?
"But according to Duke Cao's orders, we will definitely be utterly devastated!"
Almost in unison...
These five people are Cao Cao's most valued generals besides Qiao Peixungui. Each of them is brave enough to be picked out alone. Another point is that they are not reckless, but they are handsome men with both wisdom and courage.
"This time, I will send an envoy to Wuhuan to negotiate with King Qiao, the leader of the Wuhuan tribe. The envoy in the envoy is someone whom Cao Cao attaches great importance to. The negotiation of the envoy is also related to the situation in the north. The envoy's
Safety is paramount..."
Cao Cao first briefly mentioned the matter, and then gave serious instructions.
"I am escorting the mission. Others are worried, but I am thinking of the five of you! I want you to rush to Youzhou immediately."
"General Zhang Liao coordinates the military affairs of Youzhou and pays close attention to the movements of the Wuhuan army at the border. If the mission encounters any unexpected situation, it must rush to the rescue as soon as possible;"
"General Le Jin led a group of Qingzhou soldiers to escort the mission along the way; General Zhang He selected five hundred elite cavalry to lead the way; General Yu Jin was calm and responsible for collecting and delivering intelligence along the mission; General Xu Huang selected thousands of people to secretly disguise themselves as merchants
, rush to Wuhuan in advance and guard secretly along the way!"
hiss…
When news of this deployment came out, Zhang Liao, Xu Huang, Le Jin, Zhang He, and Yu Jin were all confused. They were stunned.
Speaking of which, they had received countless critical orders and made countless contributions...but...there had never been a military order, or rather...none of them had such a serious mission as escorting a mission.
For a moment, the five good generals looked at each other, and then all looked at Cao Cao.
At this moment, Cao Cao's eyes were very complicated, including perseverance, faith, worry...and reluctance.
In an instant, his eyes revealed completely different and completely different emotions...
Now, even if you think about it with your toes, you should understand that this is not just escorting a mission? There must be people in the mission that Cao Sikong cares about!
Otherwise, we would definitely not be able to defeat the five good generals who went into battle together, nor could we defeat Cao Cao's meticulous deployment, let alone make Cao Cao, the ruler of the north and the Central Plains, so serious and nervous.
Suddenly, everyone was very curious about this messenger...
Who is it? Who has such a great reputation? Can Mr. Cao treat him so seriously?
etc…
Suddenly, a person flashed across their heads. To be precise, a title flashed across their heads. Yes, it was the owner of Youjian Villa.
In the military camp, among the noble Qiao Pei and the talented people in Yingchuan, there seems to be a rumor circulating in a small area.
In ten years, the reason why Cao Gong was able to go from a complete loser to a current hero who now owns Qing, You, Ji, Bing, Si, Xu, Yan, Yu... out of the thirteen states in the world, he alone controls eight.
The person Cao Cao relies on is the owner of Villa Yi, who lives behind the curtain...
Could it be...
It was he who was sent as envoy to Wuhuan this time. According to legend, there was a villa - Master Yi?
