Chapter 1043: Conspiracy and Gambling


Mu\Can\Wenxue: Cao Cao stood on the enemy watch tower, and Yuan Jun's formation was vaguely visible in the distance.

What made him uneasy was that Yuan Jun did not rush to launch an attack, but slowly began to build a camp.

These camps are very simple, but their layout is like fish scales, stacked on top of each other and connected in circles.

But it was these things that made Cao Cao a little frightened.

Yuan Shaojun obviously changed his mind and planned to fight a protracted war.

This is not good news.

These fish scale strongholds are not strong enough, but they are easy to support each other.

Once they are repaired, they can cover the craftsmen to continue building a little further forward, and they can repair them right under the enemy's nose in one go.

It will be like a millstone, slowly and powerfully grinding away the last drop of blood and food of Cao Jun.

"It seems that the repeated defeats have finally made Yuan Shaoxue wiser."

Cao Cao shook his head and walked down to look at the enemy tower uneasily.

Cheng Yu, who was on the side, saw this and said slightly displeased: "My lord, Yuan's army has lost all courage.

As long as our army holds the city and defends it tightly, if there is another ingenious plan to attack the enemy, Yuan's army will inevitably be defeated and flee in the course of time."

"Zhongde, you don't know something.

Yuan Shao is not exactly the indecisive and arrogant guy you think.

If everything goes as before and the Yuan family is in a state of arrogance, Yuan Shao may play tricks and make mistakes again and again.

But now Yuan Shao is with us at Ma's house Both places have suffered losses.

The Western Front has completely fallen, and the Eastern Front has cowered and dared not move rashly.

Now that the 700,000-strong army has been beaten down to only 400,000 left in his hands, he will shed those dirty swords like a rusty sword.

Dirty and rotten rust once again reveals its compelling edge."

Hearing this, Xun Yu also nodded in agreement: "In this battle, if Yuan Shao only brings one strategist, our army will be defeated.

But he has too many capable men under his command, and each one has a louder voice.

Yuan Shao is also a face-loving man."

People will naturally be immersed in vanity and play tricks, causing the nine-headed birds to fly away and finally fall into the dust.

Originally, I only hoped that Yuan Shaoneng could do it.

If he could expose his biggest flaw and be hit by our army, even if he repented, he would not be able to do anything again.

But now that the Ma family has brought out Yuan Shao's shame in advance, he only needs to be bold and strategic.

If you gather your troops' morale and advance slowly, you will still have a chance of winning.

The camp in front of you is the best proof that Yuan Shao can put down his pride and fight our army with all his strength."

"The biggest problem now is that Yuan Shao has hidden his weakness very well, and there is nothing we can do."

Jiang Ji followed behind the three people.

Under the light of these three people, he seemed not to be affected at all, and was still a little cynical.

He said: "Yuan Shao is currently The biggest reliance is sufficient troops and abundant food and grass.

In terms of military strength, if they really fight with Yuan Shao, they may not be able to achieve success for a year and a half.

The only thing that can be moved now is food and grass.

As long as Yuan Shao's food and grass are burned, it will become a problem.

The straw that broke the camel’s back” "Food and grass."

When Cao Cao heard this word, he couldn't help but show a bit of worry: Jizhou has had bumper harvests for three consecutive years, and its savings are enough to support an army of more than 700,000 in foreign expeditions.

In comparison, Cao Cao's situation is much more embarrassing.

Now, even the army is forced to work in the fields, which makes the people of Jizhou laugh at them.

Now in order to fulfill the alliance with the Ma family, Cao Cao had to dispatch troops to help in the battle.

This situation made Cao Cao, who was much lower than Yuan Shao, temporarily sad.

Cao Jun's food and fodder could not last more than two months.

Everyone present knew this situation.

Although Cheng Yu was the main combatant, he couldn't help but regret at this time: "It's a pity that Xi Zhi was sent to Hedong by the Lord.

If he is here, then Jing'an Cao may bring some information."

"Unlikely."

Xun Yu shook his head and said: "Since Yuan Shao has changed his strategy and Ma Chao burned down the Wen County granary, he will naturally pay more attention to the protection of grain and grass.

Besides, Gao Lan's Red Eagle Cavalry, If Yuan Shao deliberately protects himself, even the shadow of the Ma family would not be able to know where Yuan Shao is storing food, let alone Jing'an Cao."

The problem was stuck at this point, and the atmosphere was a little awkward for a while.

Especially Cheng Yu and Xun Yu mentioned Hedong and Xi Zhicai.

Everyone knew why Cao Cao did this, but the problem was that the last card to check Ma Chao was really scary.

At the moment, everyone tacitly avoided this topic and returned to the matter of Yuan Shao's army and food.

"Let's leave it like that for today.

Send an order to all the troops to defend carefully."

Seeing that the three of them were in confusion, Cao Cao also knew that he couldn't think of any clever strategies today, so he immediately made this decision.

However, when walking back to his sleeping tent, Cao Cao couldn't help but turn around and asked Xun Yu: "What is Ma Chao's military strength now?"

"Not so good."

Chasing Chunyu Qiong to Shanyang, followed by After that, they directly destroyed Yuan's army on the western front.

Now they have divided their troops into three groups and wantonly captured Bingzhou's counties.

Everyone surrendered wherever they went.

If Bingzhou had not always been a place where dragons and snakes were mixed, I am afraid that Bingzhou would have been ruled by the Ma family by this time.

Next.”

"However, even so, under such an offensive, Ma Chao will still be able to capture the entire territory of Bingzhou in less than a month."

Cao Cao saw Xun Yu hesitate and couldn't help but complete what Xun Yu had not said.

Then he looked to the west and said unwillingly: "The Wei family in Hedong, a line that the Cao family managed with great difficulty, will probably be completely cut off by the Ma family."

"My lord, if you follow the opinions of my subordinates, it is better to give up on the east side of the river."

Xun Yu's gentle and jade-like face showed a hesitant look for the first time, saying: "The Ma family is now in great military power, and Ma Mengqi has been After conquering Hanzhong, He will no longer kill the captives harshly, but will win over the people with his righteous and benevolent attitude.

This plan will undoubtedly bring justice to the world.

Once Xi Zhicai's incident in Hedong is exposed, what our army will face is the madness and violence of the Ma family. revenge."

At this point, Xun Yu paused for a moment, seeing that Cao Cao had listened to his suggestion, and continued: "Now that Yuan Shu's side is being held back by Sun Ce, but if our army doesn't come out, Sun Ce will be unable to support him alone, and he will eventually fight against Yuan Shu."

Stop.

That Yuan Shu has always been narrow-minded and jealous.

There must be revenge, and the Lord must be filled with hatred in his heart; and Liu Biao of Jingzhou, although he is standing still at the moment, but as soon as Yuan Shao is defeated, Liu Biao will not hesitate to take the initiative, provoking us if the Cao family provokes the Ma family again.

Three parties besieged us, it’s too late to regret.”

Xun Yu's words are precise and conclusive.

Although it is inevitable that there is a suspicion of implication, ancient strategists have always needed this sense of crisis to prepare for a rainy day.

After saying this, Cao Cao was also worried about what he said, and he couldn't help but said: "In this case, you send a message to Xi Zhicai, warning him to act with caution and make decisions.

If possible, turn that matter into a The sharp blade buried in the heart of the Ma family emerges at the critical moment and plunges the Ma family into chaos."

"That's very good."

Xun Yu nodded in agreement, and when he was about to leave, someone suddenly came and reported: "My lord, your Majesty has a secret decree for you."

Cao Cao received Liu Xie's secret letter, his eyes brightened, and he hurriedly walked to the map hanging in the tent.

After searching for it for a while, he said in surprise: "It turns out to be this place."

Xun Yu didn't know what was going on, but he didn't want to get involved with Duke Cao and His Majesty.

But just as he turned to leave, he was called by Cao Cao: "Wen Ruo, do you think this plan is feasible?"

" "It's too incredible," Cao Cao said.

"That's right."

Not much progress will be made "If my lord is brave, you might as well take the gamble."

By the end of his sentence, Xun Yu's tone had become passionate and sonorous, and his gentle and gentlemanly demeanor was gone, as if he was a gambler who was eager to try out a wonderful bet.

"Gamble" Cao Cao smiled, and a flash of light suddenly appeared in his eyes: "This is indeed a gamble, but I, Cao Mengde, have never been afraid of any gamble."
