The Yuan Family of the Three Kingdoms I call the shots

Chapter 213

Cao Cao met Cao Zhen and his son, and after crying with emotion, Cao Zhen reported what he had seen and heard in Yecheng, including the arrest of the trial partner, the capture of Yecheng by the Xin family brothers, the death of Yuan Shang, and the capture of Yecheng by the surrounding states and counties. All of these things, like Cao Cao's, were described in reverse, and then Zang Ba was summoned to tell him all about observing Yuan Jun in the Liyang Camp. Abnormal movement and so on.

After saving up a ton of farts and putting them one by one, I saw people in the tent bowing their heads in thought, or frowning up to the sky, especially Guo Jia, Cheng Yu, and Xun You, who were using their brains and brains. The strings were advancing rapidly at a speed of eighty kilometers per second, whirring crazily.

Cao Cao was also full of hesitation and speculation. Although it was Guo Jia's plan to save Xin Ping's rebellion against Yuan Shang, and his side had great expectations for the success of this matter, when the facts were in front of him, he was able to The hearts of Cao Jun's wise men headed by Cao Cao began to beat drums non-stop.

The black figure swayed back and forth in the camp for several times, only to see Cao Cao gently tapping on the table, and said with a puzzled face: "Xin Ping succeeded in capturing Yecheng, Yuan Shang went back to rescue Shensi, Zidan was released, and Zang Ba was suddenly escorted back to Jizhou. Everything showed that something happened in Jizhou, but in my heart, why does it feel so inappropriate?"

When the words fell, Guo Jia cupped his hands and said: "To tell you the truth, Mr. Guo also received a letter from Xin Ping in the camp early this morning. Withdrawing, there is quite a bit of room for credibility.”

Cao Cao nodded when he heard the words, noncommittal.

There was also Xun You who spoke beside him and said in harmony: "Qi report to Ming Gong, since today, although Li Yang Yuan Xi, Tian Feng, Ju Shou, Zhang He and others are still sending troops to fight against the camp, the frequency is gradually increasing, but the momentum is obviously gone. It's not as good as before, it's a bit of a bluff, and they retreated as soon as they pretended to be, and then came back not long after. I suspect that there has been a disturbance in the Liyang camp, and Tian Feng and others are just deliberately intensifying the number of times they came to call for formations in order to deceive people's eyes and ears. If you want to retreat but can't retreat, I'm afraid it's a dilemma."

Cao Cao nodded when he heard the words, and suddenly said with a smile: "Even so, the doubts in Gu's heart still can't be completely eliminated, what can I do?"

This time, it was none other than the old man Cheng Yu who answered Cao Cao, but when he saw the tough old man pulling his beard fiercely, he said with a sneer, "If Duke Ming is afraid, why don't you send troops to attack Yuan Jun's Liyang camp?" , look at the formation, watch the battalion, and try it to the end?"

Cao Cao nodded and said, "Good!"

****************
Outside Liyang City, Yuan Jun camped.

At this moment, under the command of the coach Yuan Xi, all Yuan Jun packed up their bags, packed their bags, and packed their bags.

It just so happened that Sima Yi came back from the high-ranking camp to discuss military affairs. When he saw this situation, he couldn't help being startled, and rushed to the commander's tent to ask Yuan Xi to see him.

"Subordinate Sima Yi, see Youzhou Mu!"

Yuan Xi still had the simple and honest appearance, his eyes flickered, he raised his head flickeringly, and when he saw Sima Yi, he said in a muffled voice, "So it's Mr. Sima, you're not assisting your cousin in the Bingzhou military camp, why don't you help me?" Are you running back to Li Yang again?"

Sima Yi was not tactful when he heard the words, and said bluntly: "Yuan Youzhou, when the lord left the camp, didn't we all discuss it, if we want to lure Cao Cao into the bait, we must put on a deadly battle, and we will be defeated in a desperate situation. , led Cao’s army to take the bait, and now Cao Cao is not going to attack, but you ordered the three armies to retreat. This is not a clear violation of the military order when the Lord left. If there is any change in the plan, the plan cannot be carried out. Don’t you want a big accident!?”

Hearing this, Yuan Xi blinked his eyes, sighed, and said: "It is feasible to lure Cao Cao to take the bait in order to be ruined in a desperate situation, but it is a plan to hurt the enemy one thousand and lose eight hundred. How precious are the lives of our Hebei soldiers! , and can’t be lost on this kind of thing, I think it’s better to retreat and lure Cao Cao into the bait! The result is the same!”

Sima Yi stomped his feet and said angrily: "Yuan Youzhou, what you said is different. Although we are pretending that the city of Ye was destroyed and the lord fell to his death, there are many wise men in our army who are fighting against Cao Cao. If we retreat so easily In terms of the art of war, how can he not be ambushed easily? Who is Cao Cao? Can’t he even see this shortcoming! I’m afraid that when the time comes, he will definitely miss a big deal!”

Yuan Xi thought for a moment when he heard the words, then nodded deeply, and said, "Mr. Sima, what you said is indeed reasonable!"

Sima Yi felt relieved when he heard the words, but Yuan Xi's next words almost made him vomit blood in anger.

"But I can't listen to you, please forgive me!"

Sima Yi jumped up on the spot, so angry that he was three feet off the ground, and said angrily: "What I said makes sense, but you still don't listen to me? Then who do you want to listen to? Ah!"

When the words fell, I saw a person laughing and walking into the tent from outside the tent, coughed heavily at Sima Yi, and said, "It's normal that he doesn't listen to you! Because he wants to listen to the old man!"

Seeing Tian Feng walking in, a simple and honest smile appeared on Yuan Xi's face.

"It's you?" Sima Yi nodded Tian Feng's nose, and said in surprise, "You gave the second son this bad idea?"

Before he could finish speaking, Tian Feng raised his eyebrows and gave Sima Yi a resounding slap, and shouted angrily, "How courageous! How dare you say such a big word at such a young age, old man!" If you don't, you dare say it's a bad idea!"

Looking at Sima Yi who was rubbing his head and looking at him aggrievedly, Tian Feng smiled boldly and said, "Don't worry! It's good that the original move was ruined by seeking death, but the old man's wild dog move Peeing, the method of playing hard to get is also quite curative, you junior just hide aside and watch the old man perform obediently!"

Sima Yi: "."

****************
A day later, a scout rushed into Cao Jun's tent.

"What?" After listening to the scout's report, Cao Cao on the main seat suddenly had cold eyes, which could almost freeze people's flesh and blood: "You said that Yuan Jun from the Liyang camp set up camp and retreated. Withdrew ten miles?"

The scout nodded quickly when he heard the words, "Master, that's exactly the case!"

"Are you sure you read it right?"

"My lord, for such an important matter, even if the villain had the guts to take ten steps, he wouldn't dare to make fun of you, my lord!"

On Cao Cao's right, the one-eyed wolf, General Xia Houdun burst into laughter, and remonstrated: "Meng De, Ye City must be in ruins, the Liyang camp's morale is unstable, the morale of Yuan's army is low, and Yuan Xi's mediocre generation can't help you." table, so retreat, if we don’t rush now, when will we wait?”

Cao Cao thought about it for a while, then shook his head and said, "Otherwise, although Yuan Xi is nothing to worry about, Tian Fengjushou and others are all wise men in the world, and they all have the appearance of famous generals with their jaws high and their eyes wide open. In addition, there are Sima Yi, Zhao Yun and others in Yuan Shang's army. It's not easy to deal with a strange flower in the formation, how can you do such an unwise thing to retreat suddenly?"

Guo Jia stood up, cupped his hands at Cao Cao, and said, "Master Ming's words are very kind, let's take it easy."

Another day later, the scouts came to report again.

"Report to Sikong, Yuan Jun retreated another fifteen miles yesterday and set up another camp."

After hearing this, Xia Houdun hurriedly advised: "Meng De, Yuan Jun has withdrawn again. If we wait any longer, we may lose this opportunity!"

But Cao Cao sneered and said, "Why panic? I only retreated fifteen miles a day. It's clear that I'm trying to lure us. How can I hide it from me? Don't chase me!"

Xu Chu on the side said naively: "Yes! Play with him!"

Another day later, the scouts came to report again.

"How far has Yuan Jun retreated today?" Cao Cao asked coldly as he tapped on the table with a grim expression.

The scout was taken aback when he heard the words, and hurriedly said: "How could Master Sikong guess that Yuan Jun is withdrawing today?"

Cao Cao's spirit suddenly burst, and he said happily: "Could it be that Yuan Jun didn't withdraw today?"

"No, we withdrew, for a full thirty miles!"

Cao Cao's complexion instantly turned down again.

Beside Cao Cao, Guo Jia stroked his smooth chin, thought carefully for a long time, and finally stood up and cupped his hands to remonstrate: "My lord, Yuan Jun is withdrawing more and more every day. If they use this as a trick to suspect soldiers, they really withdrew to Jizhou To recapture Yecheng, I'm afraid that the hard work of Xin Ping and Xin Pi's two brothers will be in vain, and we will also lose a god-given opportunity, my lord must investigate."

Cao Cao's face was gloomy, and he said: "But if this is Yuan Jun's plan, what should we do? If I chase after him like this, don't I fall into a trap?"

Beside Guo Jia, Cheng Yu got up and said: "For this matter, my lord can choose elite soldiers to ride fast overnight, and use your banner to harass Yuan Jun, but don't go deep. Take advantage of the night to see if you can lure Yuan Jun's ambush. If there is an ambush, order Qingqi to retreat quickly; if there is no ambush, then the Lord will lead a large army of soldiers and horses to attack them, wouldn't it be wonderful?"

Cao Cao nodded when he heard the words: "Zhongde's words are very kind!"

Ever since, at the enthusiastic request of the one-eyed wolf Xiahou Dun, Cao Cao sent a troop led by him to advance quickly to the rear of Yuan Jun, while the rest of Cao Jun's troops were ready to go and displayed in the camp, just waiting for news When they come back, they will attack each other.

Xiahou Dun's work efficiency was indeed quite fast, not inferior to the vanguard Xia Houyuan. Soon, the scout he sent back brought back an important message.

Yuan Jun really had an ambush!
After hearing the news, Cao Cao couldn't help laughing out of relief.

"Hahaha, everyone, how are you? Let me just say it, Tian Fengjushou is a wise man in the world, Zhao Yun and Sima Yi are both dark and dark in troubled times, how could they do such a terrible thing so easily? See? Sure enough, there is an ambush Yuan Rang How is the general, did you injure Yuan Jun's ambush, and how much did his troops lose?"

"Reporting to Sikong, General Yuan Rang was not injured, nor was any of his soldiers injured. Although Yuan Jun's ambush was all over the mountains and plains the night before, the momentum was quite loud, but the speed was extremely slow. Pull Yuan Jun out for eight hundred miles, and the Hebei soldiers will crawl like toads, and they will not be able to catch up at all."

When the words fell, Cao Cao suddenly stretched out his hand, grabbed the soldier by the neck, and said angrily, "Is your statement true or false?"

The soldiers were startled when they heard the words, and hurriedly nodded in agreement: "Of course it is true!"

Behind Cao Cao, Xun You smiled bitterly, sighed generously, and said, "It's not true, it's true, it's not true, there are really capable people in Yuan Jun, Sikong, it seems that Yuan Jun really withdrew this time."
