Cao Jun and Xuzhou Jun were on guard and did not dare to move.

And Zhang Liao gradually moved away with his soldiers and horses, making the illusion that he was going to attack Yuan Xi.

In this way, Liang Yong was even more sure that Cao Ang was here to help Youzhou.

Liang Yong was entangled, and Cao's army of 100,000 could not turn a blind eye.

However, what he didn't know was that Cao Ang was also very anxious at this time.

Cao Cao didn't dare to rush into the army, so he stopped to rest and be on guard.

He called Xun You and Jia Xu in the big tent.

"The Xuzhou army will definitely regard us as enemies, if we go to war, wouldn't it just help Zhang Yu."

Cao Ang and they are going to make trouble, but they are facing an important problem, that is, their enemy is not only Zhang Yu, but also Yuan Shao's soldiers and horses.

If they don't handle it well, they will be besieged, and at the same time, they may have helped Zhang Yu.

In short, Cao Ang faced a big problem.

Now it has become a confrontation between them and the soldiers and horses of Xuzhou, which has helped Zhang Yu.

Jia Xu thought for a while and said: "The eldest prince, I'm afraid that the generals of Youzhou are deliberately leading both of us here, containing each other, and wanting to break the situation, one of the ways is to attack the soldiers and horses of Youzhou, and the second way is to retreat directly, so that the Yuan army in Xuzhou can go to support Yuan Xi." ”

Nowadays, no matter how resourceful they are, there is no good way, and there is no place for them to use them.

"Okay, in the early hours of the morning, we quietly evacuated and let the soldiers and horses of Xuzhou go to support Yuan Xi." Cao Ang said helplessly.

It was indeed helpless, although Cao Ang came with 100,000 people, he did not dare to intervene rashly.

One is that the food and grass have not yet arrived, and the other is the fear of being besieged.

In the early hours of the morning, Cao Ang and the others quietly retreated, and Liang Yong only found out after dawn.

Liang Yong did not dare to act rashly, thinking that the enemy was in ambush.

A large number of scouts were scattered, and in the end no enemy was found, so the action began.

Liang Yong continued to set off, this time his speed was very slow, and he did not dare to go fast.

Zhang Liao has been paying attention.

"General, the Cao army retreated, and they didn't fight." It was Xu Li's turn to be in charge of the investigation, so he reported.

"Expectedly, this Cao Ang won't work for us, we must find a way to get them to fight." Zhang Liao said.

Zhang Liao thought for a while and said: "Under the banner of the Cao army, give the Xuzhou army a surprise attack at night, I believe they will be fooled." ”

Either way, there's nothing wrong with deepening their hatred.

Liang Yong was careful when he marched during the day, fearing a sneak attack from the enemy, and at night they began to set up camp.

But in the second half of the night, the enemy troops appeared and attacked their camp, but fortunately they had been prepared and suffered little losses.

In the course of the pursuit, they confiscated scattered items, and the armor and weapons were suspected to be Cao's soldiers and horses.

There is no conclusive evidence, but Cao Jun is more likely.

Liang Yong had to be careful.

Although he attacked Liang Yong by impersonating Cao Jun, Zhang Liao still did not achieve his goal.

Zhang Liao was thinking about how to make the two armies fight.

While Zhang Liao was thinking, a letter from Zhang Yu arrived.

"I see, I see." Zhang Liao received a letter from Zhang Yu.

In the letter, Zhang Yu explained the strategy to Zhang Liao in detail, explained the purpose of Cao Jun, and the grand strategy, and at the same time gave Zhang Liao some suggestions.

After Zhang Liao studied it, he decided to say: "The lord stands tall and sees far, and he has completely figured it out."

Zhang Liao knew Cao Ang's purpose, and it was convenient to prepare.

"Order the whole army, speed up the advance, and remove the mark, the scouts are all moving, and kill Yuan Cao's scouts on a large scale." Zhang Liao ordered.

Both Yuan and Cao came to stop Zhang Liao and them from seizing Qingzhou, so he simply disappeared, leaving both sides without their goals and suspicious of each other at the same time.

Zhang Liao disappeared directly, and the two of them did begin to be suspicious, sending a large number of scouts.

The scouts of the three parties fought fiercely, and later Zhang Liaofang withdrew, and their scouts also fought fiercely.

However, they have been in motion, and they are all going in the direction of Qi State.

Two days later, they all arrived at the border of Qi, and the expected big battle did not appear.

The two armies were separated by more than fifty miles and were wary of each other.

Cao Ang was uneasy, and found Xun You and Jia Xu to ask, "Is there any conspiracy in this Zhang Liao?" ”

Xun You and Jia Xu both judged that this Youzhou must be holding back, but they didn't have much information and couldn't analyze it.

Unable to analyze it, Cao Ang could only order to be on guard.

And Zhang Liao is ready.

Zhang Liao and the others hid two hundred miles away, quietly waiting for the time.

"Xu Li, you personally take people to it, and be sure to intercept all the information that is in contact with Yuan Xi." Zhang Liaooh ordered.

"Yes, General."

Xu Li took the order and left with three thousand people.

This is the key to Zhang Liao's plan.

"The whole army is ready, attack tonight, let the soldiers have a good rest." Zhang Liao ordered.

During the day, a wounded scout rushed into the barracks that Yuan Xi had set up in front.

"Report, urgent information."

"Quick, take me to the general."

The soldier was badly wounded, still clutching the intelligence in his arms.

The soldiers guarding the camp did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly carried him in.

Someone rushed to heal him.

"General, this is information sent by General Liang Yong." With that, the soldier fainted.

The general opened the information, and the envelope was sealed, but it had been soaked in the blood of the soldiers.

The clay seal on the envelope is complete, and when you open it, you can see that the inside is soaked with blood, but the handwriting is still intact, and there are also their characteristic logos.

This complete letter is naturally very credible, and it was sent by Liang Yong, the general of Xuzhou.

"Cao Ang is really here to help Zhang Yu, and after Zhang Yu takes Qingzhou, Zhang Yu will help Cao Cao take Xuzhou."

"Tonight they will launch a surprise attack, asking us to cooperate and sneak attack Cao Ang's army in three ways."

The gist in his heart was that Cao Cao cooperated with Zhang Yu, and Liang Yong seized the opportunity to attack Cao Ang at night.

Because Liang Yong received the news that he would send troops to attack them at night, and they launched a surprise attack in advance, the other party must have been unprepared.

When it was almost midnight, Liang Yong also received a message.

The same ink, seals, and special emblems of the intelligence are complete, but the envelopes are also soaked in blood.

The general idea is similar to the information received by Yuan Xi, but on this letter, Yuan Xi ordered Liang Yong to send troops to help and attack Cao Ang together.

Liang Yong looked at the information, although it was a little strange, but he still ordered to start preparations.

These two letters were naturally forged by Zhang Liao, who intercepted a lot of information about Yuan Jun and forged them according to the markings and the prisoners' confessions.

The fake is very similar, but it is not true after all, so he can only use the method of blood and water to deceive Yuan Jun.

This is the conspiracy that Zhang Liao wants to design, it is not very clever, it depends on the timing of the design, and if the timing is right, the enemy will not suspect it.
