Cao Cao shook his head and said: "Meng Qi doesn't know, if it is really some little people, the prime minister will not put it in his heart, the news from Ao Cang, in which the leader of the note only led more than 1,000 people, and retreated from the siege of 10,000 people, presumably a strong general in the Li army." ”

Cao Cao deliberately exaggerated it in order to attract Ma Chao's belligerent heart, and sure enough, Ma Chao didn't notice it at all.

Hearing that he was a powerful person, Ma Chao's eyes rolled slightly, and after thinking for a while, he said: "Okay, Chao is the leader, but Chao is leaving, and the headquarters should be led by the deputy general Pang De." ”

Cao Cao had heard of the name of Pang De, and knew that this person was a stable person, so he was a little reluctant in his heart, but he didn't show it at all.

"Hmm." Cao Cao nodded and said: "This is natural, but during the war, all actions must obey orders, otherwise military law will be ruthless." ”

Ma Chao was very confident in Pang De, so he naturally responded with one bite, as for Han Sui, Cao Cao let him lead a group of Xiliang generals to Xuchang with a few easy words.

In this way, Cao Cao used a different method to temporarily achieve internal stability, and also had more confidence in the upcoming decisive battle.

After Zhang Xiu came back from Cao Cao's tent, he did not make a big move, but secretly recruited his henchman Hu Che'er.

In the tent, Zhang Xiuzheng whispered something to Hu Che'er, and saw that the expression on Hu Che'er's face became more and more solemn.

After Zhang Xiu finished speaking, Hu Che'er asked suspiciously: "General, since Prime Minister Cao Cheng is a high-ranking official, why don't you go to Xuchang, why take risks and fight the unknown." ”

Zhang Xiu explained in a low voice: "What do you know, now fifty percent of the world has fallen into the hands of Li Huiyi, and Cao Cao only accounts for thirty percent, if it is not for the Son of Heaven, thirty percent is not." ”

"Now we have to collect the general's military power, so who knows if it will be poisoned in the future, why not take advantage of the opportunity to fight now."

Hu Che'er doesn't have any intelligence and doesn't know how to care about long-term, but he is a fierce general, listening to Zhang Xiu's analysis, I feel that this is really the truth.

"Okay, don't worry, the general will not act according to the plan, but afterwards, how can the general go to the Li army camp?"

Seeing this, Zhang Xiu said with some peace of mind: "Don't worry, there are opportunities on the road, you should be careful yourself, don't let people find anything unusual." ”

Hu Che'er thought for a while and said: "I didn't stay in the camp for a few days, I didn't go anywhere, and I didn't think Cao Cao would send anyone here." ”

"Nope." Zhang Xiu said: "You must do whatever you need to do as usual." ”

……

The two had a secret plot, Zhang Xiu was afraid that Hu Che'er would show flaws, and explained all the big and small things, and confirmed that there was no omission, so he left quietly.

Early the next morning, Cao Cao sent 200 soldiers to escort Han Sui, Zhang Xiu and others to Xuchang, and Ma Chao soon led the army to leave, and everything developed as Cao Cao expected.

A series of changes in Cao Ying, his own spies reached Li Huiyi's ears, and when he learned of these moves, Li Huiyi knew that the decisive battle was in these few days, so he immediately summoned his subordinates and others to arrange it.

The battle has dragged on for half a year, and some of the soldiers have already returned to their hearts, and it is a good thing for the soldiers on both sides to be able to settle the situation as soon as possible.

However, for Li Huiyi and Cao Cao, it is a matter of fear and thought, after all, this determines who will be the leader in the future.

Li Huiyi looked around the tent and said: "Everyone, the latest news from Cao Ying, the decisive battle should be in these days, in order to ensure the combat strength of the army, there is no order to dispatch in these days. ”

The decisive battle is imminent, physical strength and spirit are an important factor, and Li Huiyi does not want to lose because of some details.

After a pause, Li Huiyi continued: "At present, our army knows nothing about the Cao army's arrangement, do you have any good offensive and defensive suggestions?" ”

Compared with the number of Li Jun, it is still weaker than Cao's army, and being able to occupy the initiative is also a move that Cao Cao does not fight head-on.

This time, the two sides were officially tough, and Li Huiyi was inevitably still a little worried.

Guo Jia stood up and said: "General, no matter how the Cao army attacks and defends, with the current morale of our army, it shouldn't be a big problem. ”

Guo Jia is very confident that even if he can't win this battle, he won't lose, and at most it will be a draw, just because of his first plan.

Li Huiyi nodded and said, "How is that thing going, don't be unable to play then." ”

Guo Jia said with a smile: "Don't worry, general, most of them have been arranged, and only a few can't use them." ”

"Okay." Li Huiyi nodded a little in his heart and said, "In that case, you should also go back and rest together, and stay with filial piety." ”

Li Huiyi retreated from everyone, and when Guo Jia was the only one left, he asked with a worried face: "Fengxiao, you said that if Cao Cao is captured in this battle, what should I do?" ”

Li Huiyi has always been afraid of facing this in his heart, he doesn't care about others, but Cao Cao's historical evaluation is too high, his prestige and resourcefulness are first-class, and he can have such a power now, it can be said that most of it depends on himself, unlike Yuan Shao, who can control it by removing the family.

can kill him, Li Huiyi couldn't bear it, when he came to Luoyang, he was able to get an official body, Cao Cao can be said to have made a lot of effort in it, and it is not an exaggeration to say that Li Huiyi is a nobleman.

Crossing the river and demolishing the bridge will take revenge, Li Huiyi can't do it, even if he becomes an emperor one day, he can't be willing to be this lonely man.

Hearing this, Guo Jia already understood what he meant, and did not answer positively, but used transposition to untie Li Huiyi's knot.

"Cao Cao captured the general, what he will do, the general must know very well."

Yes, the incident in Beiying has only happened not long ago, and Cao Cao would rather take a dangerous move than leave himself a way to live, so what else is he struggling with.

"Hmm." Li Huiyi sighed heavily, patted his buttocks and collapsed the mat, and said: "It seems that this position is not easy to sit on, and many things are not in my heart." ”

Guo Jia smiled and said: "If you are not in your position and do not seek your own politics, the general will definitely think more in the future, and there may be more things that are not at will." ”

"Well, I hope it's over soon." Li Huiyi said inexplicably, and suddenly asked: "Fengxiao, you said that after this battle, how long will it take to be unified." ”

Standing at thirty, Li Huiyi has already passed thirty, and it seems that he wants to dominate the world as soon as possible.

Guo Jia thought for a while and replied: "It's hard to say exactly, but if there are no accidents, within five years, it should be unified." ”

"Five years." Li Huiyi said a sentence silently, looking at the tent door with both eyes, as if thinking about something, Guo Jia saw this, and did not bother, but sat silently and waited for him to come back to his senses.

Three days later, Guandu staged a scene of swords and guns, hundreds of thousands of people in two camps against each other, from the sky at a glance, densely packed with people, but except for the occasional sound of horses, it was surprisingly quiet.

Seeing that the formation had been arranged, Cao Cao sat on the car and waved his hand, signaling to move forward.

"Smack, smack!" The chariot soldier received the signal, waved a whip on the left and right, and drove the horses pulling the cart forward.
