Chapter 1503: The Battle of Xuzhou (100)

Although Guo Jia's sudden idea is more like his wishful thinking, after all, this is unrealistic, everyone, including Guo Jia himself, is more willing to believe that this is Guan Yu's trick, just to wreak havoc in the territory, but this kind of destruction will not bring much benefit to Xuzhou, and it is even extremely dangerous, it is completely risky to do so, and it is precisely for this reason that Guo Jia suddenly came up with such an idea.

If he was Guan Yu, he would do this and find Cao Cao's grain point in the rear, so that it would bring huge benefits to Xuzhou.

If you have to say an idea close to the truth, then Guo Jia Energy believes in this most unlikely idea, after all, it is unrealistic for Guan Yu to use five hundred cavalry to mobilize their large army in Feng County, even if he makes Shanyang turn to the bottom, it is impossible to have much effect, after all, there are only five hundred people, let alone Cao Cao, even ordinary people who do not understand military affairs, at most they will only send a few thousand people over, let alone Cao Gong, it seems that now he only sent a few thousand troops.

And the transfer of these thousands of people is not in the way, so Guan Yu's purpose is obviously not achieved, but is this Guan Yu's purpose really like this, as everyone said, it is impossible, but in the same way, it is even more impossible to find the grain storage point, because he knows the location of the grain storage point, and the direction of Shanyang is obviously the opposite.

So Guo Jia just let all this go, he didn't say anything, just acquiesced in all the deployments made by Cao Gong, he believed that the pursuit of 2,000 people, the 500 people who infiltrated Shanyang would be quickly repulsed.

Sure enough, just when Fengxian sent 2,000 people all the way to Shanyang, when they entered Shanyang, the 500 cavalry of Xuzhou, who had been tracking by the scouts, suddenly turned their heads and returned to Peixian from Fanghe.

Come fast and go faster, the Cao army who chased all the way to Fanghe County was not reconciled, and chased for dozens of miles, but when they arrived at the border, they saw tens of thousands of Xuzhou troops, although they did not take the initiative to attack, but the Xuzhou army also did not plan to attack, it seems that as long as they do not enter the country, they can ensure that they are safe.

Cao Jun should obviously rejoice that if the Xuzhou army chose to attack at this time, their two thousand men plus eight hundred scouts would not be able to escape, so they would turn around and retreat, and at the same time transmit the news back to Cao Cao in Feng County as quickly as possible.

For the sudden thoroughness of the five hundred cavalry, the experienced Cao Cao was surprisingly calm after learning the news, although Guo Jia didn't say anything, but Cao Cao didn't know that the real purpose of these five hundred people would never be to mobilize them, so he sent two thousand people, just to be able to catch them, and it was best to learn the truth from them.

It's a pity that the Xuzhou army left too quickly, but the more so, the more Cao Cao can confirm his guess, Guan Yu has another purpose, although he is not as keenly aware of Guan Yu's purpose as Guo Jia, but at least he knows that Guan Yu has another purpose, and then he just needs to deal with it carefully.

However, there is one thing that must be said, that is, these five hundred people attacked Shanyang this time, and the destruction and harvest are still quite large, if they are simply sabotage, then this trip must be regarded as a bumper harvest, if there is another purpose, then sorry, nothing has been found, at least for now, although he does not know Guan Yu's true intentions.

The two sides became peaceful again, but within three days, the same news came from Xiao County, this time the enemy army not only had cavalry but also an infantry of more than 2,000 men, and after entering Xiao County, these infantry began to harvest wheat, while the cavalry plundered the village.

This news made Cao Cao furious, if he was still guessing that Guan Yu had other plans, then at this moment, what the Xuzhou army was doing in Xiao County was like Shanyang, and even intensified it made him have to believe that his guess was actually superfluous, Guan Yu just wanted to use this way to force himself to negotiate a truce as soon as possible, or that it was completely Liu Lan's order behind it.

This attack tactic is quite disgusting, not Liu Lan's style at all, but I have to say that this kind of attack is deadly enough for him, because he can't bear the destruction of grain anywhere, especially before the autumn harvest is approaching, this destruction is not only fatal, but also becomes food and grass to nourish the enemy.

Not only did they lose the grain of a county, but it was equivalent to subsidizing the grain of a county in Xuzhou.

This time Cao Cao did not continue to discuss, and directly sent troops to deal with these incoming Xuzhou troops, even if he could not recapture the grain, he would also solve all these incoming Xuzhou troops, and not one would be left, for which Cao Cao personally appointed and dismissed Xiahou Yuan as the commander, it can be seen that Cao Cao at this moment can be determined after the entry of the Xuzhou army twice, that is, Guan Yu may not have any real purpose, but just to sabotage, so this time he must be made to suffer, otherwise, In this way, Guan Yu will continue to send third, fourth, or even more cavalry into Yuzhang and even Yanzhou to attack and harass.

After Xiahou Yuan received the order, he left with his headquarters, compared to the previous pursuit, this time Xiahou Yuan brought 5,000 people, unconsciously Cao Cao was angry, and sent more soldiers, Guo Jia, who had not had too many admonitions, had been silent, Cao Cao did not take the initiative to ask him, and he did not dare to speak out rashly in this matter.

Obviously, at this time, even Guo Jia was a little unsure of Guan Yu's true intentions.

If it was just sabotage, then Guan Yu's plan was successful.

If Guan Yu was planning to mobilize the Fengxian coalition army, then in the same way, from the transfer of 2,000 people to the direct dispatch of 5,000 people from Xiahou Yuan's headquarters to the present, his intention can be regarded as a success. But Guo Jia just doesn't believe that this is the truth, because there is another bold idea in his heart, but this idea needs to be verified, and the other two ideas are not impossible.

If the three ideas he can think of are classified, then raiding and destroying is obviously the next choice, just for that bit of food, it really won't, after all, they won't be hurt by the food of a county, not to mention that the Xuzhou army doesn't have the strength to destroy the fertile land of a county, slaughter the people of a county, and may even be trapped by their pursuers, so this strategy is obviously the most unlikely.

And next, that is, in order to mobilize the Fengxian coalition army, obviously Guan Yu's purpose has been achieved, if this time there is no gain from 5,000 people, then whether Cao Cao wants to or not, he will have to send more people on the border, and he dare not say that he will prevent the Xuzhou army from entering, but at least they can't let them come and go like the wind, like entering a no-man's land.

But in this way, Cao Cao will inevitably divide his troops to garrison, and the number of points is uncertain, whether it is two thousand or five thousand, then it will definitely be a weakening for the Cao army on the frontal battlefield, whether it is Liu Lan's method or Guan Yu's purpose, it can be said that they are completed at this moment.

But Guo Jia is not good at saying anything, even if he knows many things, he is powerless to reverse them, not to mention that he can't make the most correct judgment now, he still needs to observe what kind of reaction the Xuzhou army that entered Xiao County this time.

He believes that this time he will be able to make a clear judgment, of course, in his heart, in fact, what he wants most is to be able to verify his original judgment.

However, it seems that this seems to be the best choice, obviously Guan Yu didn't expect it, otherwise he wouldn't be stupid enough to send troops to Xiao County again, this seems to be a move to harass the lord, but it is bound to make the lord take precautions, so the purpose of attacking the grain station will not be realized, and the gains outweigh the losses.

Since he wants to find the grain station, he must first be under the premise of extreme secrecy, how can he be so blatant, doesn't this mean that he has given up a great opportunity, so Guo Jia can judge that the purpose of the Xuzhou army has little to do with the grain station, if he is asked to make a choice at this time, he is more willing to believe that Guan Yu is to mobilize the Fengxian coalition army, find out the flaws, and then completely defeat them.

Guan Yu's wishful thinking is very loud, but it is destined that he will not gain anything, and it is precisely because of this that Guo Jia has not given any suggestions of his own, because Cao Cao has done his best, and he has nothing to do to make the situation better, so he can only wait for news.

Xiahou Yuan took his headquarters all the way to the south.

Rushing all the way, the distance of hundreds of miles seems to be nothing to Xiahou Yuan and his own people, this famous master of running, one of the biggest characteristics is that he is particularly fast, many times he can seize the opportunity when confronting the enemy because of his fast mobility.

Therefore, when he received Cao Cao's order, he accelerated the speed of the march, and he must learn the lesson of Shanyang's defeat, and the troops must not only be fast, but also concealed and not exposed, otherwise when they arrive in Xiao County, they are afraid that the Xuzhou army will run back to Pei County.

However, when they went all the way south, they suddenly found that the official road was blocked, and thousands of refugees came all the way to Feng County along the official road, blocking them on the road.

This time Cao Cao did not continue to discuss, and directly sent troops to deal with these incoming Xuzhou troops, even if he could not recapture the grain, he would also solve all these incoming Xuzhou troops, and not one would be left, for which Cao Cao personally appointed and dismissed Xiahou Yuan as the commander, it can be seen that Cao Cao at this moment can be determined after the entry of the Xuzhou army twice, that is, Guan Yu may not have any real purpose, but just to sabotage, so this time he must be made to suffer, otherwise, In this way, Guan Yu will continue to send third, fourth, or even more cavalry into Yuzhang and even Yanzhou to attack and harass.
