Liu Bei used sweet words to deceive Yuan Shao for a while, and then he let him go and ordered him and Wen Chou to go to attack Cao Cao together as a rear army to recruit Guan Yu.

Unfortunately, Wen Chou had just entered the battle and lost to Xu Huang and others, but was killed by Guan Yu in the first few rounds. Liu Bei did not dare to stay in Yuan Shao's army, so he fled to Jingzhou and ordered Sun Qian to inform Guan Yu.

Only then did Guan Yu know the news about Liu Bei, and he wanted to leave. When Cao Cao heard about it, he deliberately closed the door behind him. Guan Yu could only seal up the things Cao Cao had given him, and without moving a penny, he took his two sisters-in-law to Jingzhou.

Xia Houyuan and Zhao Yun stood behind Wei Zhongdao, looking at Guan Yu's leaving figure, frowning and asking in confusion.

"Sir, are you going to let Guan Yunchang go like this?"

Wei Zhongdao smiled slightly, looked back at Xia Houyuan, and said softly.

"Go down here and tell me that the passes along the way are not to stop Guan Yu from leaving. Let him go to Jingzhou."

"Liu Biao of Jingzhou is cunning and cunning. If Liu Bei goes to his place, he will definitely stir up troubles!"

Cao Cao truly loved Guan Yu. Hearing that Guan Yu left without saying goodbye, he ordered someone to catch up and gave him a brocade robe token so that he could pass the customs smoothly, which made Guan Yu feel a little ashamed.

Because Yuan Shao had defeated two generals, Yan Liang and Wen Chou, he couldn't help but raise an army and marched towards Guandu. The army was 700,000 strong, and they were encamped in the east, west, south, and north, and were connected for more than ninety miles.

Cao Cao led an army of 70,000 to resist Yuan Shao's attack, leaving behind Xun Ou to take charge of Xudu, Wei Zhongdao, Guo Jia, and Xun You to accompany the army to serve as staff and make plans to resist Yuan Shao.

The two sides fought for several days. In general, Cao Cao was at a disadvantage. After all, he lacked men and horses, and food and grass were scarce. He was not as rich and wealthy as Yuan Shao. He controlled the four states and had many soldiers. If it were not for the fact that he had no troops, he could resist Xiahou Yuan. The superb generals of Zhao Yun and others had defeated Cao Cao long ago.

In the large tent of the Chinese army, Cao Cao gathered the officials and generals to discuss matters. The atmosphere inside the tent was gloomy and heavy. It was obvious that the war situation was unfavorable, which made people worried.

Wei Zhongdao is sitting in the first place on the left, still looking lazy. Next to him is Guo Jia. He is full of ingenuity and has made Cao Cao very trustworthy. His status is higher than that of Xun You and Cheng Yu. points, second only to Xun or.

Guo Jia glanced sideways at Wei Zhongdao, winked, and signaled to him that as the head of civil servants, it was time for him to step forward. Wei Zhongdao rolled his eyes, was too lazy to pay attention to Guo Jia, and shook his head slightly, obviously not wanting to step forward.

Guo Jia had no choice but to look at Cao Cao's earnest eyes and had no choice but to stand up and go out of the queue and said to him.

"It is known to everyone that Liu and Xiang were defeated. The ancestors of the Han Dynasty were the only ones who defeated Xiang Yu. Although Xiang Yu was strong, he was finally captured. Jia stole the information and found out that Shao suffered ten defeats and Gong won ten. Although Shao's army was strong, he could not do anything. Shao has many rituals and rituals, and the public body is left to nature. This way is better than one. Shao is rebellious, and the public is obedient to lead the world. This righteousness is better than two... When Shao sees people hungry and cold, he feels pity for it. The shape is in the color, which cannot be seen, and may not be as good as it is. The so-called benevolent ear of a woman, when it comes to small things at present, is sometimes neglected. See, if you think about everything, everything will be helpful. This kind of benevolence is better than seven things. The ministers of Shao fight for power, slander and confuse chaos, and the public ministers follow the way, but cannot be infiltrated. This is clear and good. It is impossible to know what is right and wrong. Etiquette is not the correct way to follow the law. This article is better than nine. Shaohao is a false power. He does not know the key points of the army. He uses a small number to defeat the crowd. He uses the army like a god. The soldiers rely on it and the enemy is afraid of it. This martial arts is better than ten. The public has this. With ten victories, it will be easy to defeat Shao."

Guo Jia's argument about ten victories and ten defeats was so passionate and passionate that Cao Cao fought vigorously and applauded him repeatedly. Then he turned to look at Wei Zhongdao and asked for advice.

"Filial piety is a noble idea, but I wonder if Zhongdao can teach me?"

Wei Zhongdao stood up helplessly, glanced at the people in the tent, and said directly.

"Yuan Shao has nothing to fear. He is nothing more than a chicken and a dog. As long as we burn his food and grass, we will definitely defeat the 700,000-strong army in one fell swoop!"

Cao Cao naturally knew this truth, but the difficulty was that they had no idea where Yuan Shao's food and grass were hidden, so they could only stare blankly.

"How come I don't know what Zhongdao said? It's just that Yuan Shao's food and grass are secret and it's hard for us to find out where they are stored?"

Wei Zhongdao already knew where Yuan Shao's grain and grass were hidden, and he had used his powerful mental power to activate his mental talent to deduce it. Hearing this, he laughed.

"This is easy. I already know where Yuan Shao's grain and grass are located. It's in Wuchao. Tonight, Sikong can send troops to attack in a sneak attack. They can burn Yuan's army's grain and grass in one fell swoop and defeat an army of 700,000!"

Cao Cao was overjoyed and stood up and walked around. He still couldn't believe what Wei Zhongdao said. He frowned slightly and asked.

"Zhongdao, why are you so sure that Yuan Shao will store grain and grass in Wuchao?"

Just as Wei Zhongdao was about to explain something, he suddenly frowned and mentally sensed a person coming from outside the camp. He chuckled and said.

"If Sikong wants to know the truth, why not greet Xu You quickly? He has already arrived outside the camp and should be able to confirm that what Wei said is true!"

When Cao Cao heard that Xu You was visiting, he didn't care about anything else and ran towards the camp gate like a fool. He was very excited. He knew that Xu You came here at this time and must have taken refuge in him and could help him.

Xu You saw that Cao Cao had run away with his shoes and was in a mess. His eyes shone brightly. He was very satisfied with Cao Cao's reaction. The two held hands and entered the tent. At this time, all the civil and military personnel had left, leaving only the two of them to talk in detail.

Cao Cao had already learned that Yuan Jun's food and grass were in Wuchao, but he still respected Xu You very much. He bowed and bowed, making a gesture that satisfied Xu You's vanity, and then he spoke.

"Yuan Shao has no plans, refuses to listen to his words, and refuses to follow his plans. Today I have come to meet you. I ask you, Meng De, to take me in because of our past friendship!"

Although Xu You spoke with great respect, he addressed Cao Cao by his first name. Cao Cao didn't take it seriously and just kept talking.

"If Ziyuan is willing to come, I will accomplish something great! Please tell me how to defeat Yuan Shao, Ziyuan?"

Xu You was very proud. He sat up high and looked at the impatient Cao Cao. He chatted for a long time without revealing his plan. Cao Cao's expression changed slightly and he suddenly spoke.

"Ziyuan, did Yuan Shao store grain and grass in Wuchao?"

The wine glass in Xu You's hand suddenly dropped in shock, and he looked at Cao Cao in shock. He never thought that Cao Cao actually knew where Yuan Shao's lifeline was, and his role was greatly reduced.

"How does Meng De know?"

When Cao Cao saw Xu You's reaction, he already knew in his heart that what Wei Zhongdao said was right, and he was convinced, so he said with a smile.

"Although I know that Yuan Shao has stationed grain and grass here, I don't know the layout of Wuchao. Please ask Ziyuan to teach me!"
