Three Kingdoms: the Search for a Saint Starts from Mistaking Cao Cao As His Father-in-law

Cao Cao laughed loudly, whipped his horse, and galloped away.

...

Three days later.

The emperor issued an edict, scolding Yuan Shao as a traitor to the country, and ordered Cao Cao, the commander, to mobilize his army north to attack the traitor.

Cao Cao then set up an altar to sacrifice to the sky in the north of Xudu, and announced his oath to go north.

Nearly [-] Cao's troops headed north, heading to the front line of the Yellow River to face Yuan's army.

The army headed north and arrived at Guandu City in a few days.

At this time, a strong fortress has been erected in Guandu, and the construction has been completed.

Cao Cao's army entered Guandu City, and Cao Cao sent scouts north to spy on Yuan's movements.

Cao Ang's tent.

Su Yi brought Lu Lingqi, Xu Chu, and a hundred Su family guards to meet at Guandu as scheduled.

within the tent.

Cao Ang hosted a banquet.

"Brother Su is true to what he said. He came as promised. I will honor Brother Su with this glass of wine."

Cao Ang was full of joy and raised his wine glass.

Su Yi smiled and drank from the glasses.

Put down the wine glass.

Su Yi asked: "Eldest son, Yuan Shao's vanguard army should have crossed the river by the white horse and surrounded the city of white horse."

This sentence surprised Cao Ang.

You must know that he has just returned from Cao Cao's tent, and the battle report in the direction of White Horse City will not be delivered until tomorrow at the earliest.

Therefore, Yuan Jun's movements at this time, he has no way of knowing.

"We haven't received the news yet. How did Brother Su know that Yuan Shao was going to send Yan Liangbing to surround the White Horse City?"

Cao Ang couldn't help but wonder.

"Have you received the news yet?"

Su Yi saw a few surprises in his eyes, so he asked Cao Ang to bring the map.

"Yuan Shao's army of [-] must have assembled in Liyang on the north bank, preparing to cross the Yellow River in the south."

"And the two most important ferry heads on the south bank, one is Baima, and the other is Yanjin."

"The white horse is the closest to Li Yang, so Yuan Shao definitely won't give up near and far, and he will definitely cross the river with the white horse."

Su Yi's hand gestured on the map.

Cao Ang nodded, thinking that his brother-in-law's analysis was the same as that of Guo Jia and Xun Yu before.

"Since Yuan Shao's army has already assembled in Li Yang, why didn't the entire army cross the river to surround the white horse, but only sent Yan Liang to lead the vanguard army to cross the river?"

Cao Ang nodded suspiciously.

"Yuan Shao is Yuan Shao after all, and he has Ju Shou and other wise men under his command. How could it be so simple to use troops?"

"Yan Liangbing surrounds the white horse, it's just a bait, it's just to lure Duke Cao's army, so that he can have a decisive battle with him in the white horse!"

Su Yi pointed the word "white horse" at the tip of his finger, and sneered at Yuan Shao's intention.

Cao Ang shuddered, looked at the map carefully, and pondered Su Yi's words in his mind.

After half an hour.

Cao Ang suddenly realized and nodded his head: "Brother Su said that Yuan Shao is most afraid of whether our army is in danger or not. The situation he most wants to see is that his father will fight him head-on!"

Su Yi sat down again and took a sip of wine.

"But Brother Su, how do you calculate that Yuan Shao will order Yan Liang's army to surround the white horse?"

Cao Ang sat down and asked curiously.

"Yuan Shao wants to lure Duke Cao to the bait, so naturally he has to put down a big bait."

"Then Yan Liang is the number one general in Hebei. If he can kill Yan Liang, it will definitely hurt Yuan Jun's heart. Besides this person, is there any other general in Hebei who is more suitable as a bait?"

Su Yi asked rhetorically.

Cao Ang just realized that, and asked urgently, "Then according to Brother Su's plan, if Yuan Shao really planned it like this, how would father solve it?"

"It's easy too."

Su Yi got up with the wine glass in his hand and came to the map again.

"Yuan Shao wanted to use Baimacheng and Yanliang as bait to lead Cao Gong to Baima for a decisive battle. Cao Gong naturally wanted to do the opposite. Instead of saving Baima, he led the army straight to Yanjin."

Su Yi's fingertips went westward along the Yellow River and touched the Yanjin Ferry.
