Although Ma Teng died, he was much luckier than Yuan Shu and Gongsun Zan. After his death, his sons and nephews had a grand funeral for him and planned to avenge him.

However, Yuan Shu and Gongsun Zan had no place to die. The glory before their lives was worse than that of ordinary people after their death.

After Ma Teng's funeral, all armies gathered in Wuwei, and Ma Chao and Mengqi were appointed 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 send Ma Teng's body was killed, Cao Cao already knew that this matter could not be done well.

Cao Cao was extremely distressed these days. The war with Yuan Shao may break out at any time. Now that Ma Chao has led the coalition forces to attack, there may be a risk of a fire in the backyard at any time.

"Fengxiao, what do you think should you do in the current situation?" Cao Cao looked at Guo Jia and asked him.

Guo Jia thought for a moment and pondered: "Ma Chao raised the coalition forces to attack 200,000. Although this coalition forces are a mess, if they want to defeat them, they will have to at least have an army of 100,000."

"Now our army is in short supply. If we mobilize 100,000 troops to fight Ma Chao, we are afraid that the front line will be defeated."

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

"The military advisor is right. Let's deal with Yuan Shao first. After dealing with Yuan Shao, it's not too late to go to fight Ma Chao!" Cao Ren echoed on the side.

Cao Cao was also a military expert, so he naturally knew that it was extremely unfavorable to start a war on both sides. Since he had to start a war on both sides, defending on both sides and attacking on both sides is obviously more beneficial than attacking on both sides.

When Cao Cao thought about it, he looked around the generals and asked, "I only have 50,000 soldiers and horses, who is sure to use 50,000 soldiers to block Ma Chao's 200,000 army."

Cao Cao finished speaking, and the generals of Cao's army sat in an ostrich-shaped manner, no one said anything.

It is a chore to block the 200,000 army. Moreover, Ma Chao's courage is known to everyone in the world, and this battle is not easy to fight.

Who in Cao's camp is best at defending the city? Naturally, Yu Jin is best at defending the city. Seeing that no one of his colleagues could stand up, Yu Jin had to stand up and bow to Cao Cao, "King of Wei, the last general is willing to lead his troops to the expedition."

Seeing Yu Jin stand up and volunteer, Cao Cao couldn't help but nod. It is well known that Yu Jin is good at defending the city, and Yu Jin is also very reliable in doing things.

Cao Cao walked to Yu Jin and reached out to pat Yu Jin on the shoulder. Cao Cao was short and Yu Jin was big and thick. He was afraid that Cao Cao would not reach his shoulder, Yu Jin owed his body slightly without moving.

"Tongguan!"

"Yu Jin, I will give you 50,000 infantry soldiers to order you to guard Tongguan for three months. After three months, I will forgive you for not guilty. But if Tongguan is broken within three months, I will have to take the head of your neck."

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

Yu Jin was more than nine feet tall and stood there like an iron tower. I saw Yu Jin bowed and said, "I dare 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 is lost within March, Cao Cao will chop Yu Jin's head. However, if they cannot defeat Yuan Shao within March, they will not know how many heads in the camp today can save.

After Yu Jin issued a 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 had 50,000 troops in his hands. Even if there was danger in Tongguan, he could at most block Ma Chao for three months. These three months can be said to be Cao Cao's ideal plan. It is very likely that Yu Jin might not be able to block Ma Chao for three months.

Therefore, within three months, Cao Cao must defeat Yuan Shao, otherwise he is very likely to be trapped in the siege of Yuan Shao and Ma Chao.

"Everyone, you can have a plan to break Yuan Shao's army." Cao Cao asked at the generals.

As soon as Cao Cao finished speaking, the generals in the tent turned into ostrichs again. How could these martial artists come up with any good plans?

"Military advisor, do you have any good ideas?" Cao Ren asked Guo Jia.

Guo Jia has not been idle these days, and this plan is still true. After pondering for a while, Guo Jia said to everyone: "This is a national war, and it is definitely not something that can be won overnight. If Yuan's army is to win within three months, it will be a surprise that it will not be possible."

When Cao Cao heard this, he was shocked. Since Guo Jia had made a strange plan, has he already had this so-called strange plan?

"military adviser?"

"Do you have a strategy?" Cao Cao asked hurriedly.

At this time, Guo Jia strode forward and came to the next to the map. Guo Jia pointed to the map and said, "Qi Ming is here!"

A group of generals came to the map and looked at the position where Guo Jia pointed!

"Wuchao!"

"It's Wuchao!"

Everyone said together.

Everyone present knows where Wuchao is. Wuchao is a city not far from Yanjin, only about 300 miles apart.

However, Wuchao's defense was extremely strict. Yuan's army's food, grass, weapons, and all military supplies were stored in the Wuchao transit station.

"Military advisor, this Wuchao is behind Yanjin. Unless our soldiers can have wings, how can we raid this Wuchao?" Cao Ren asked frowned.

This is true. Since Wuchao is Yuan Shao’s place to store grain, the location is naturally extremely particular, and the defense is extremely strict.

Unless Cao Cao can defeat Yuan Shao's troops head-on, they will be difficult to reach Wuchao. But then again, if Cao Cao can defeat Yuan Shao head-on, why should he attack Wuchao again?

At this time, Guo Jia turned his fingers and pointed at another city near Yanjin. This time, it was Guandu.

"Get Guandu!"

"We act like we divide our troops to fight Guandu. Once we move Guandu, Yuan Shao will definitely divide our troops to stop us. The forces of our two sides are diluted on the front lines of Guandu and Yanjin, and there will inevitably be loopholes in this."

"In this way, a small group of troops can penetrate into Wuchao." Guo Jia expressed his plan.

"The military advisor thought, how many people could we get into the vicinity of Wuchao?" Cao Cao asked.

"Three or five thousand people, at most, there are only three or five thousand people. In many cases, I'm afraid it will be difficult to hide it from Yuan Benchu's eyes." Guo Jia said seriously.

"Three or five thousand people, how can three or five thousand people get the Wuchao?" Cao Cao asked back.

You know, the defenders of Wuchao alone would not be as low as 20,000 soldiers? How could three or five thousand people attack the city guarded by these 20,000 people?
