Invincible from the beginning of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 284 Cao Cao's advice, Zhang Ming's advice

Cao Cao didn't have many choices, Yuan Shao was too strong.

On the second day, Yuan Shao ordered the attack very early.

The difference is that this time Yuan Shao returned to the camp at the rear, while Yan Liang was in charge of the front line.

Yan Liang killed with an army of tens of thousands.

This time, when he attacked again, Zhang Ming blocked an entrance and did not attack, as long as he could contain some of the enemies.

The intensity of this attack was not great, but both sides responded with caution.

The two sides attacked and defended for a day, and there were thousands of casualties. If there was no result, Yan Liang withdrew his troops.

At night, both sides defended carefully.

Three days later, Yan Liang tried to attack at night, but without any results, he led his troops back.

The next day Yan Liang attacked three times in a row, but to no avail.

Two days later, Cao Cao also tried to attack at night, but was finally driven back.

The two sides attacked and defended several times, but there was no result.

Cao Cao was under increasing pressure.

At this time, there were also many rebellions in Cao Cao's rear, which was very unstable.

People's hearts have changed, and Cao Cao may be destroyed at any time at this time.

Under the crisis, Cao Cao thought hard and studied with Cheng Yu and Guo Jia day and night.

Cao Cao had a headache, but he still forcibly endured it and continued to study.

Cheng Yu and Guo Jia came to a conclusion that it must end as soon as possible, otherwise it would be very dangerous.

Cao Cao also wanted to, but his strength did not allow it.

"You two, what can I do?"

Guo Jia said: "My lord, I can only take a risk."

Take risks, now Cao Cao has been cornered.

There are many rebellions in the rear, and if it continues, the interior will disintegrate.

He is not afraid to take risks now.

"Do you have any plans?" Cao Cao said, rubbing his head.

Guo Jia said: "The only way to force Yuan Shao to retreat is to sneak attack on their rations."

"Ambush their barracks, even if we kill their [-] to [-] troops, Yuan Shao can quickly organize an army."

"There is only food and grass, and there is no way to supply it immediately."

Cao Cao sighed and rubbed his forehead frantically.

He has found out where the military rations are, and there are 2 troops guarding them. Even if they send [-] people there, it will be difficult for them to succeed.

Cheng Yu said: "My lord, the only way to take risks is to take several steps."

"The first, water attack, and the second fire attack, all at the same time, attacking east and west, fighting to the death."

Cheng Yu and Guo Jia explained the plan to Cao Cao in detail.

Cao Cao thought carefully.

Finally Cao Cao asked: "Feng Xiao, how sure do you think you are?"

"Three points."

Ten to three points.

"Three points is not too small, and we must take a risk."

Three points are low, at least there is still a chance.

If you don't take risks and continue to wait, the result is death.

At this time, Xun Yu in the rear had been putting out the fire, and many rebellions, although small in scale, had a great impact.

Cao Cao said: "Then start to act."

Start planning, no matter how difficult it is.

When Cao Cao began to prepare, Zhang Ming also simulated over and over again, and then asked the soldiers to collect the situation on the battlefield for tens of miles.

After the surrounding area was collected, Zhang Ming ordered to expand the scope and continue to collect more information.

Continuously synthesizing and calculating the news, no matter how Zhang Ming counted, Cao Cao had no chance of winning.

"Cao Cao, Cao Cao, I really broke my heart because of your victory or defeat."

"No matter what method you use, it is very difficult. It seems that I have to find a way to help you."

Zhang Ming is worried, Cao Cao can't just collapse like this.

Once Cao Cao collapsed, he would be under great pressure.

Therefore, Zhang Ming had to prepare.

However, Zhang Ming has nothing to do now.

Two days later, the scouts came to report.

"My lord, Cao Cao sent someone to cut off the flow of water at a hidden place upstream and prepare to flood it."

"Quick, mark the place right away."

Zhang Ming asked the soldiers to mark the place.

"this place"

Zhang Ming was speechless. This place is more than ten miles away. Even if he can store as much water as he can, he may not be able to submerge his knees by then.

Zhang Ming did not tell Yuan Shao about the situation.

However, Zhang Ming estimated that this should be Cao Cao's trick.

If there is enough water stored more than ten miles away, it can indeed flood them, but from the analysis of the terrain, there is not much water stored, and it will not do anything to them if it is washed down.

In this way, Zhang Ming judged that Cao Cao was using blindfolding.

Don't rush to tell Yuan Shao and the others now, wait until Cao Cao's plan is almost successful.

If Cao Cao continues to act, there must be other actions.

Zhang Ming made people pay close attention to Cao Cao's actions.

Four days later, the upstream interception has been almost done, and the water has been stored. We will wait for more water to burst the embankment.

Zhang Ming sent people to observe the water level. Cao Cao and the others didn't make the dam very high, and they couldn't make much of it in just four days.

Zhang Ming estimated that in two days, they should act.

When Zhang Ming was researching, he suddenly thought of a way to help Cao Cao and the others.

Zhang Ming exchanged a large amount of gasoline and put it in the barracks.

Inside the gasoline barrels were written words such as flammable, explosive, and caution.

Stored separately, put a lot.

After another two days, the water flow here dropped significantly, and no matter how stupid Yuan Jun was, he would find out.

In fact, Cao Cao and the others have not been discovered by Yuan Shao until now, Zhang Ming sent a large number of scouts to cover Cao Cao.

In fact, Cao Cao originally intended for Yuan Shao and the others to find out, but Zhang Ming didn't want Yuan Shao to find out.

On this day, Zhang Ming went to find Yan Liang.

"General Yan, my soldiers spotted Cao Jun storing water upstream and were about to flood us."

Yan Liang was shocked and hurriedly asked about the situation.

"General Yan, don't worry. My soldiers checked carefully. Even if the embankment broke upstream, our place is only flooded for military use, and people are still fine."

"That's not okay, at least our offense will be affected."

Zhang Ming said with a smile: "Why don't we set up an ambush, and when Cao's army comes to attack, we will destroy his army and abandon the barracks."

"Exchanging an empty barracks for Cao Jun's thousands or even more troops is completely cost-effective."

Yan Liang hurriedly asked for the detailed plan.

"Nowadays, we have to act like we don't know anything, and we don't do anything about it."

"Wait for Cao Jun to release the water, we pretend to be shocked, you wait to abandon the barracks and flee in a hurry, wait for Cao Jun to chase after him, and then lead the army to kill from the rear."

"When this army is wiped out, Cao Jun's reinforcements will almost arrive. We just abandon the barracks and cannot return to the original barracks because Cao Jun may also use this design to set up an ambush in our barracks."

Yan Liang nodded quickly, this plan is indeed feasible.

Zhang Ming said again: "We only need to take two days' rations, go downstream, and we can cross the river directly. Let me calculate that Cao Jun's release of water can only last for two hours. Even if Cao Jun comes after him, we will practice fighting with him." , Even if you fight out the army, it is still cost-effective."

Cao Jun wants to fight off their [-] troops, even if they are not prepared, they will have to pay a price of [-], and their camp will be in danger.
