Chapter four hundred and fiftieth Yin one-handed Cao Cao.
The process of Cheng Yu bribing Xu You was very easy. Even Cheng Yu himself never expected that he would bribe Xu You so simply.
Even before the words Cheng Yu prepared were used, Xu You agreed to serve Cao Cao. It can be seen that Xu You's dissatisfaction with Yuan Shao must have been in his heart for a long time.
After Xu You agreed, Cheng Yu quickly turned back to Xu Du and reported the matter to King Cao Cao of Wei. Cao Cao was one of the few decisive people in the world. After learning that Xu You's wish was an internal support, he immediately decided to send troops to attack Yuan Shao.
Cao Cao ordered the general Cao Ren as the main general and Cao Hong as the deputy general. He led 200,000 elite soldiers and 5,000 tiger and leopard cavalry to attack Yanjin Ferry, and took Dongjun to the capital of Yuan Shao straight to Yecheng.
In addition, the two brothers Xiahou Yuan and Xiahou Dun led 100,000 elite troops to Youzhou, blocking Yuan Shao's retreat for the army.
Cao Cao took advantage of the opportunity to seize Yuan Shao's hometown Yecheng when Yuan Shao captured Beiping. You know, in order to attack Youzhou, Yuan Shao had already drawn up most of the troops and horses and arranged them on the front line of Youzhou. Now Yuan Shao's territory is very empty.
Only Yecheng is considered a heavy army to guard. However, Yecheng has Xu You as an internal supporter, and now is the easiest time for Cao Cao to succeed in Yecheng.
Once Yuan Shao knew about Cao Cao's backstab and him, he was afraid that Yuan Shao would definitely send troops back to help, and that would be a bloody battle. That's why Cao Cao was preparing to take down Yecheng before Yuan Shao returned to the army.
Once the nest is taken down, Yuan Shao will really become a rootless duckweed, and the defeat is decided!
Jinling, Qinwang Mansion.
Today's Qin Wang Mansion is naturally the former Wu Wang Mansion.
"Awesome, this Cao is so hiding!"
"Now, Yuan Shao's territory is empty. He sent Cao Ren to attack Yanjin. Once the Yanjin Ferry is taken down, Cao Cao will definitely be able to take down Dongjun as quickly as possible. When this Dongjun is moving forward, it will be Yecheng."
"The 100,000 elite soldiers of Brother Xiahou do not need to be long. As long as Yuan Shao is blocked for two or three months, the Ye City will be changed." Li Chen couldn't help but exclaimed as he looked at the secret military information reports from the spies ahead.
"King of Qin, Brother Xiahou is afraid that he won't have to stop for three months. Since Cao Cao used this kind of trick, he would either burn his boats or he would have to take the lead in Yecheng. Cao Cao is not at the time to burn his boats now, compared to him, he has an inner support in this Yecheng!" Liu Bowen smiled and said confidently.
"Insider, I'm afraid it must be Xu You and Xu Ziyuan!"
"When Cao Cao was young, he was quite close to Xu You, and Xu Ziyuan responded to him, which was just a matter of fact." Jia Xu also echoed on the side.
"Qingzhi, based on the current situation, should we take Yuan Shu first, or should Cao Ai Meng go to Yuan Shao first?" Li Mu asked Chen Qingzhi.
Chen Qingzhi is a master of military law. After thinking for a moment, he said in a deep voice: "If our army does not care about casualties, it will be enough to take Yuan Shu for three months. But according to the current fighting style, it will probably take at least half a year."
"If Cao Cao's plan succeeds, I'm afraid he will take Yuan Shao first."
After Chen Qingzhi answered, Li Chen touched his chin and thought. Cao Cao liked to stab himself in the back and used a trick behind his back. If he hadn't taken Yuan Shao down yet, he might have to stab him in the back.
You know, nearly half of Huainan was built by Cao Cao's efforts. Now Li Chen is just eating it for nothing. Can Cao Cao feel good? There is no chance now. Once he has the chance, Cao Cao must get it back with his capital and profit.
However, if he attacked Yuan Shu at all costs, Li Chen felt that it would be a little more than worth the loss. You should know that for a prince, in addition to territory, population is also very important.
I just experienced a great battle in Jiangdong. If I were to fight Yuan Shu, it would be a huge loss to the soldiers.
Li Chen is in a dilemma now, and he is afraid that his troops will lose too much when attacking fiercely. However, the current style of fighting with siege as the main and attack as the auxiliary is too slow. If Cao Cao defeated Yuan Shao first, he would definitely stab him back.
Have it!
As long as you use evil tricks against Cao Cao first, you will not be afraid that he will use evil tricks against him.
Soon, Li Chenxin had an idea.
Li Chen paused and said to everyone: "Since Cao Cao wants to attack Yecheng in surprise, we cannot let Cao Cao follow his wishes. We should send someone to Peiping quickly and call Yuan Shao the branch office."
As soon as Li Chen said this, Liu Bowen and the other two looked at each other, thinking that the Qin King's idea was really clear.
As long as Cao Cao took Yuan Shao one step ahead of Li Chen, he would definitely use a trick against Li Chen. Since this is the case, it would be better for Li Chen to take Cao Cao one step first and delay his speed of taking Yuan Shao.
According to the theory of relativity, as long as Cao Cao took Yuan Shao slowly, it would be equivalent to Li Chen taking Yuan Shu faster.
"But, even if we send someone to notify Yuan Shao, the Xiahou brothers' troops will probably have been deployed by then. Even if Yuan Shao knows the purpose of Cao Cao's surprise attack on Yecheng, he will be afraid that it will be difficult to return to Yecheng for a while."
"We have to think of a way for Yuan Shao to break through the obstacles of the Xiahou brothers." Jia Xu said, twisting three strands of the goatee.
Li Chen's plan was just in line with Jia Xu's appetite. As the king and the king, he should use any means. At this time, he used a secret trick against Cao Cao, which was exactly the right thing for Jia Xu.
"Wenhe, we have a military master here! If someone else leads the troops and can be stopped by the Xiahou brothers, if we, Shuai Chen, is afraid that the Xiahou brothers will not be stopped!" After Liu Bowen said to Jia Xu, he asked Chen Qingzhi: "Shief Chen, I wonder if you were Yuan Shao, how could you break through the Xiahou brothers' block as fast as possible?"
Chen Qingzhi looked at the map, thought for a moment, and smiled slightly and said, "Yuan Shaobu was in the Beiping area, while Cao Cao's army was going to attack Yecheng. Yuan Shao's troops were less than 300,000, but the Xiahou brothers had only 100,000 troops?"
"Of course, if Yuan Shao fought hard, the Xiahou brothers would be able to stop him for more than a month."
"However, Cao Cao also had a flaw. Cao Mengde took advantage of the emptiness of Yuan Shao and wanted to attack Yecheng in surprise. But now, Cao Cao is also empty in his interior."
"If I were Yuan Shao, I would divide up 100,000 troops to go straight to Xudu. The little emperor is still in Xudu, which is Cao Cao's trump card. Once Yuan Shao makes a move to win Xudu, then the Xiahou brothers will definitely protect Xudu first. At that time, Yuan Shao can naturally rush to support Yecheng."
As soon as Chen Qingzhi made this plan, everyone couldn't help but lit up. Chen Qingzhi, who is good at fighting blitz, was indeed a surprise attack.
