Becoming stronger from cutting Hu and Cao Cao

Chapter 489 Cao Cao is attacked by the enemy.

Although Ma Teng died, he was much luckier than Yuan Shu and Gongsun Zan.After his death, his sons and nephews buried him in a grand burial, planning to avenge him.

However, Yuan Shu and Gongsun Zan died without a place to bury them. The scenery in life was not as good as that of ordinary people after death.

After Ma Teng's funeral, all armies gathered in Wuwei, with Ma Chao and Ma Mengqi as the commander of the coalition forces, and jointly attacked Cao Cao's rear.

Yanjin Ferry.

Cao's army camp.

After learning that the envoy he sent to Wuwei to deliver Ma Teng's body was killed, Cao Cao already knew that this matter could not be done well.

These days Cao Cao is extremely distressed. A frontal battle with Yuan Shao may break out at any time. Now that Ma Chao is leading the allied forces to attack, there may be a danger of fire in the backyard at any time.

"Feng Xiao, what do you think of the current battle situation?" Cao Cao looked at Guo Jia and asked him.

Guo Jia thought for a moment, then pondered: "Ma Chao raised an allied army of 20 to attack. Although this allied army is scattered, if you want to defeat them, you need at least [-] troops."

"Now our army is stretched thin. If we mobilize [-] troops to fight Ma Chao, I'm afraid the front line will be completely defeated."

"King Wei, in my humble opinion, in this battle between us and Ma Chao, we can only defend but not attack. We only need to send a general who is good at defending, relying on the strength of the city wall to block Ma Chao's army."

"The military adviser is right. Let's deal with Yuan Shao first. After we have dealt with Yuan Shao, it's not too late to go to Zhan Machao!" Cao Ren echoed.

Cao Cao is also a military expert, so he naturally knows that fighting on two fronts is extremely unfavorable.Now that we have to fight on two fronts, it is obviously more advantageous to defend on one side and attack on the other side than to attack on both sides.

When Cao Cao thought about it, he looked around at the generals under his command and asked, "I only have 20 troops. Who is sure to block Ma Chao's [-] troops with [-] troops?"

When Cao Cao's words fell to the ground, all the generals of the Cao army sat like ostriches, and no one said anything.

Fifty thousand troops, blocking 20 troops, this is a hard job.Moreover, Ma Chao's bravery is known all over the world, and this battle is not easy to fight.

Who in Cao Ying is best at defending the city, naturally Yu Jin is the best at defending the city.Yu Jin saw that none of his colleagues could stand up, so he stood up, bowed his hands to Cao Cao, and said, "King Wei, the general is willing to lead the army."

Seeing Yu Jin stand up and take the initiative to invite Ying, Cao Cao nodded involuntarily. It is well known that Yu Jin is good at defending the city, and Yu Jin is also very reliable in his work.

Cao Cao walked up to Yu Jin and reached out to pat Yu Jin on the shoulder. Cao Cao was short and Yu Jin was tall and thick.Fearing that Cao Cao would not be able to reach his shoulders, Yu Jin bowed slightly forward calmly.

"Tongguan!"

"Yu Jin, I will give you [-] infantry and order you to guard Tongguan for three months. After three months, I will forgive you if the pass is broken. But if Tongguan is broken within three months, I will take your head."

"Do you dare to issue a military order?" Cao Cao asked.

Yu Jin is more than nine feet tall, standing there like an iron tower.I saw Yu Jin cupped his hands and said in response: "The last general dares to issue a military order!"

At this time, Cao Cao asked Yu Jin to issue a military order, which was to tell the generals in the tent that Tongguan could be defended within three months.They must also defeat Yuan Shao within three months.

If Tongguan falls within three months, Cao Cao will cut off Yu Jin's head.But within three months, if they can't defeat Yuan Shao, how many heads can be saved in today's camp.

After Yu Jin issued the military order in public, Cao Cao paced back and forth with his hands behind his back, with a cold light shining in his eyes.

Yu Jin only has [-] soldiers and horses in his hands. Even if there is the danger of Tongguan, he can hold off Ma Chao for at most three months.These three months can be said to have been Cao Cao's ideal plan.It is very possible that Yu Jin may not be able to stop Ma Chao for three months.

Therefore, within three months, Cao Cao had to defeat Yuan Shao, otherwise, he was very likely to fall into the siege of Yuan Shao and Ma Chao.

"Everyone, do you have a plan to defeat Yuan Shao's army?" Cao Cao asked the generals.

As soon as Cao Cao finished speaking, all the generals in the tent turned into ostriches again.These warriors, how could they think of any good strategy.

"Military division, do you have a good strategy?" Cao Ren asked Guo Jia.

Guo Jia has not been idle these days, and this strategy is still true.Guo Jia pondered for a while, and then said to the crowd: "This is a national war, and it cannot be won overnight. If you want to win Yuan Jun within three months, it will be impossible to use a trick."

Hearing this, Cao Cao was shocked.Now that Guo Jia has said a trick, does he already have this so-called trick?

"military adviser?"

"Do you have a strategy in your heart?" Cao Cao asked hastily.

At this time, Guo Jia strode forward and came to the side of the map.Guo Jia pointed to the map and said, "Here is the trick!"

A group of generals gathered next to the map and looked at the location Guo Jia was pointing at!
"Crow's Nest!"

"It's Wuchao!"

Everyone said in unison.

Those present knew where Wuchao was.Wuchao is a city not far from Yanjin, only about three hundred miles away.

However, the defense of this Wuchao is extremely strict. Yuan Jun's food, weapons, and other military supplies are all stored in Wuchao, a transfer station.

"Military Master, this Wuchao is at the rear of Yanjin. Unless our soldiers and horses can grow wings, how can we harass this Wuchao?" Cao Ren asked with a frown.

This is true, since Wuchao is Yuan Shao's grain storage place.The site selection is naturally extremely particular, and the defenses are extremely strict.

Unless Cao Cao can defeat Yuan Shao's soldiers head-on, they will be difficult to contact.But then again, if Cao Cao can defeat Yuan Shao head-on, why bother to attack Wuchao again.

At this time, Guo Jia's finger turned and pointed to another city near Yanjin.This time, it was Guandu.

"Go to Guandu!"

"Let's pretend to divide our troops to attack Guandu. Once we move Guandu, Yuan Shao will definitely divide his troops to block it. The strength of our two sides is divided between Guandu and Yanjin. There must be loopholes."

"In this way, a small group of troops can infiltrate towards Wuchao." Guo Jia revealed his plan.

"The military adviser thinks, how many people can we sneak into Wuchao?" Cao Cao asked.

"5000 people, at most it looks like 5000 people. If there are too many people, I'm afraid it will be difficult to hide from Yuan Benchu's eyes." Guo Jia said seriously.

"Three 5000 people, how can three 5000 people win Wuchao?" Cao Cao asked rhetorically.

You know, this Wuchao has no less than 2 soldiers and horses just for the defenders?How can 5000 people attack a city guarded by [-] people?

In other words, once Wuchao cannot be broken in a short period of time, the surrounding Yuan Jun will definitely be able to rush to support.
