Now that the course has been decided, all that remains is the direction of the retreat. On one side, it is moving in the direction of Hakuba, and on the other hand, it is in the opposite direction, retreating directly to the south.

"No matter what the outcome of the Battle of White Horse is...... Cao Cao looked at everyone, "Yuan Shao estimates that he will receive news in the next two days, thinking that our main force has been sent to White Horse, and this side of the formation is empty." Although, in reality, we do have some emptiness. ”

"If we win, then Yuan Shao will think that we are converging with the main force, so he will naturally act cautiously. If they lose, then they don't need to be in a hurry, they can slowly pursue us in the back. To make them despise and abandon their guard, we must retreat in the opposite direction, that is, to the south, or to the west......" Cao Cao explained to everyone privately.

Originally, there was no need to even explain it, just just insist on doing it, so that the effect is better.

"Is this the 'history' you're familiar with?" After everyone left, Cao Cao looked at Wang Yong and asked.

"I don't know much about the beginning and end of the Battle of Guandu." Wang Yong shook his head, "This is the reason why I chose to keep a low profile, I only know the key to this battle, and I am not very familiar with the others." ”

"The Battle of Guandu......" Cao Cao looked at the map, "west of Yanjin and northeast of Zhongmu." If I use this strategy, then it is indeed possible that we will move in the direction of Guandu...... So has the 'me' of that world also used this trick? Well, it seems that it is useless to ask you......"

"It's just that as things stand, it's quite possible. In my speculation, it is estimated that in the Battle of White Horse, our main force will go directly, rather than just divide our troops. After all, there was no Yanzhou Legion in the original world, and there were no high-yield crops, in other words, in the Battle of Guandu, Yuan Shao could mobilize 100,000 troops, but we estimate that he could only mobilize 10,000 to 20,000 troops at most. Wang Yong thought for a while and said.

20,000 against 100,000, ordinary people estimate that they don't have the idea of fighting when they see this poor combat power. Of course, it cannot be said that there are 100,000 soldiers on the frontal battlefield, for example, now, Yuan Shao has 20,000 soldiers and horses in Qingzhou, and it is estimated that 10,000 to 20,000 soldiers will be placed in Hanoi, and finally the frontal battlefield can be regarded as 100,000 soldiers if the naval army is about 60,000.

Cao Cao had more soldiers than in history, and could deal with more unexpected situations, and even if conditions permitted, Liu Bei could defeat Yuan Tan, and then occupy Qingzhou, and provide support for the Guandu battlefield. Even if some of them are good, they can be used as a surprise soldier all the time, and Yuan Shao is caught off guard.

"Let's not talk about those ......," Cao Cao shook his head, "After tomorrow, we may run away in embarrassment for a while, which means that for a day or two, we won't even be able to make a fire to cook." I need a batch of dry food, enough for about three to five days. ”

"Understood." Wang Yong nodded, dry food has always been prepared, there is no need to prepare deliberately. Cao Cao's meaning was obviously not as simple as asking him to prepare dry food for three or five days, but to prepare dry food that 'tasted good' for three or five days.

It's better to have a little sugar, considering that you may not be able to have afternoon tea for only three to five days. Someone who is coquettish with himself in this way is actually quite cute...... The corners of Wang Yong's mouth lifted slightly, and he walked out of the tent.

Early the next morning, Wang Yong handed over a bag of dry food to Cao Cao. Last night, the whole camp was unfortunate, and the smell of grease permeated the air, and I don't know how many people twitched their noses, and they released poison in the middle of the night, making it difficult for many soldiers to sleep.

"What is this little ball...... Cao Cao asked as he took out a cracked little ball.

"Open dates, one mouthful. Eating four or five meals is almost enough to meet daily needs. Wang Yong replied.

There are about 40 mouthful dates in this pocket, which are prepared according to the amount of about three days.

"Isn't this just fried dough?" Cao Cao looked at it, smelled it, and felt that it was the same thing, at most, there were some white sesame seeds stuck to the outside, and after frying, they were extremely fragrant.

"Probably......" Wang Yong smiled faintly and didn't explain much.

"I'd like to see what's going on!" Cao Cao was curious, picked up one and ate it, one bite was naturally the extent that he could eat it in one bite, biting off the crispy skin on the outside, and the part inside was soft and comfortable. The fragrance of sesame seeds, as well as a sweet taste, is even more fragrant.

"There's sugar in this flour?" Cao Cao chewed this open date, the more he chewed it, the more fragrant it became, especially the sweetness was really unbearable, and he still wanted to eat it.

"When you mix the noodles, you add sugar to the water." Wang Yong replied, "And when you chew, the starch in the flour will be reduced to maltose in the mouth, which further enhances the sweetness." ”

"Are you sure this thing really has enough food for three days?" Cao Cao looked at Wang Yong when he heard this, and with the taste of this opening date, it is estimated that many people can eat it in a day or two.

"But this is indeed a three-day quota, and I have prepared four more to enter," Wang Yong said helplessly...... If you continue to make it, it is estimated that you will not be able to carry it, and forty pieces are a big bag.

"Okay, everyone is ready to prepare, we are ready to pull out the camp!" Cao Cao didn't bother to say anything, and ordered it directly.

Before Cao Cao pulled out the camp, he had already made a pre-battle explanation, Yuan Shao's army was moving south, thousands of cavalry, and more infantry were behind, and the headquarters lacked horses and could not engage head-on, so he could only avoid its edge and wait for the rear army to come and converge.

The strategy was reasonable, and they didn't say anything, so they pulled out their camps, took the dry rations, and headed west.

"Isn't it south?" On the way, Sima Yi asked Xun Yu in a low voice.

"This, who knows?" Xun You shook his head, anyway, he was initially sure that the direction of retreat was nothing more than west and south.

"General, why don't you release the scouts?" After walking for a while, Cao Xiu stepped forward to ask.

"We are retreating, not fighting each other. If we release scouts, won't we tell them that we are retreating in this direction? I'm going to make them think we're retreating south! Cao Cao replied.

"Okay......" Cao Xiu was actually a little unwilling, although there were thousands of enemy troops, but the tigers and leopards under her command were not weak. As long as it is used well, then even if the other party is thousands, it can slowly grind the other party to death.

However, Cao Cao wanted to go, but he had no choice but to follow. After walking like this for two days, a messenger from the white horse came to the rescue, and at the same time said that a large army was about to come to the rescue.

Naturally, Yuan Shao also received the news here, knowing that Yan Liang had fallen, and the 10,000 people who went there only came back less than 3,000 people, she almost beheaded Jiang Qi, and in the end, it was the four major military divisions who interceded to spare his life, but he was transferred back to Yecheng as a guard.

"Cao Cao actually sent the main force to Baima, that is to say, now her headquarters lacks war horses, even if the converging Yanzhou Legion has more than 10,000 troops in Chenliu, the key is the lack of war horses...... Do you know the approximate direction of Cao Cao's travel? Yuan Shao thought for a moment, and then asked.

"It seems to be going all the way to the west...... Maybe they sent someone to Hanoi to ask for help. Xu Yu replied.

"She wants to join the troops in Hanoi, but I don't want her to do so!" Yuan Shao clenched his fists.
