Chapter 437: Calculation and Response

"Still not right." Guo Jia insisted on saying, "Lu Bu seized Yanzhou, and in order to gain the support of the scholars, Chen Gong has completely abolished our original official tuntian system. The arable land was redistributed to the nobles, and with the support of the majority of the nobles, the system of the year was completely restored. In this case, if there are ordinary people who come to help, then I believe it. The big clan came to help, I don't believe it! ”

"Although there are many scholars who have received the sweetness of Lu Bu, not all scholars support Lu Bu. How can you be sure that Tian doesn't really want to help us?! Cao Cao asked rhetorically.

"Even if the Tian clan is good for us, but now that the Tian clan is under Lu Bu's rule, if Lu Bu forces them to deceive us, then will the Tian clan dare not obey?!" Guo Jia couldn't help but say.

"As long as there is the slightest possibility, then I can't leave it alone! If the world knows that I, Cao Cao, completely ignore the help of others, then who will be willing to take the risk to help me Cao Cao in the future? What will the people of the world think of me Cao Cao?! Needless to say! I know that you have a point, but I still can't help it, it's a matter of principle. What we should be discussing now is how exactly it should pass. I need to be able to minimize the risks, ensure safety, and be able to escape if I encounter an ambush. Cao Cao said directly.

Guo Jia smiled wryly when he heard this, is this the second-rate strategy he said at the beginning? I knew it was a plan, but I still had to walk in. Of course, it may not be completely second-rate, because Cao Cao went for the possibility of "not a plan", not for the plan itself. However, there is at least a fifty percent chance that this is a conspiracy. Rounding it up, it's second-rate.

Ultimately. It was decided on the spot to divide the team into three armies, and if the door was really opened at that time. Then only send one team in, and the other two teams stay outside to answer in case of accidents.

Although such a contingency plan has been set, there are some problems that Guo Jia still has to confirm and study.

First of all, even if Lu Bu really went out of the city, how many people did he take away? How many soldiers are left in the city? Also, since Lu Bu left the city, have the number of ordinary people entering the city every day increased significantly compared to weekdays!

still remembers when Dong Zhuo entered Luoyang. In order to frighten the ministers of the DPRK and China, they specially sent soldiers to sneak out of the city secretly, and then led the troops into the city with great fanfare, making the illusion that soldiers were constantly entering the city.

So now, will Lu Bu also use the same means? It's just that the direction is the opposite. Take the soldiers out of the city with great fanfare, and then secretly let people dress up as ordinary people, or sneak back to the city in the middle of the night? This can create the illusion that he has not actually appeared, but has completely left the city on the surface!

Therefore, this is something that Guo Jia must determine first. Puyang is not a big city like Luoyang. Now that it is in the midst of war, although the city is not completely closed and ordinary people are not allowed to pass through (otherwise Tian's letter would not be sent easily), but during the war. There are definitely not many people entering the city. Therefore, if there is a problem in this area, it should be easy to detect

The other side.

"We sent a small group of soldiers and dispersed. Pretend to be an ordinary person and sneak back to Puyang City. Chen Gong said to Lu Bu.

Lu Bu was puzzled for a while. couldn't help but question,

"Sir, wouldn't that make it easy for people to see the problem? Although it is only a small group of people, it may not be a big deal, but since it is only a small group of people, it will not make much use of going back. So, it's better to do nothing, so it's easier to convince Cao Cao, right? ”

"I just want to give Cao Cao the illusion that we have sneaked back to the city, of course, in order not to make them completely sure that the whole thing is a conspiracy, so I can only send a small number of people back. This is to divert Cao Cao's attention, if there is really no problem at all, with Cao Cao's caution, he will definitely explore our whereabouts everywhere. If someone does find out, it won't be easy. Chen Gong explained,

"So, it's to give them a grasp of this, so that they mistakenly think that even if it's a conspiracy, we're all in ambush in the city. According to my speculation, Cao Cao will definitely divide his troops and move at that time, bringing only a small number of people into the city, leaving most people outside to respond. We surrounded most of Cao Cao's people who remained outside the city gate from the outside, so that even if Cao Cao could break through from the city, he would not be able to escape from our second encirclement outside! Chen Gong said.

"Haha! Terrible! With Mr. to help me, why worry about the great cause! Lu Bu suddenly laughed.

This time, not only to let Cao Cao have no return, but also to let the entire Cao army be completely defeated!

"No significant reduction compared to peacetime? How can it be! Guo Jia couldn't help but shout, is he really not afraid of death if he still runs to Puyang during this period?

"There's a problem, lord, there's obviously a problem! Lu Bu is already secretly sending troops back to the city! Guo Jia persuaded Cao Cao again.

"Bonghyo, you are obviously suspicious of this. As for why it has not decreased too much, it is because the people of Yanzhou still believe in us and know that we cannot do any massacres in Yanzhou, which is the embodiment of the people's will! Moreover, even if Lu Bu was really sneaking back, the number of people entering the city was smaller than in normal times, and it did not increase, that is to say, only a small number of soldiers could sneak back to the city, what use could this person do. Cao Cao shook his head and said,

"I think that if there is really a conspiracy, Lu Bu's side will never make a mistake on this kind of issue. At this time, they should make us believe as much as possible, not make us try to be suspicious. Today's situation is not only not provable to be a conspiracy, but more likely to be more convincing. Cao Cao analyzed, is this the legendary dialectic?

"Okay." Guo Jia also understood that it was impossible to persuade Cao Cao no matter what, "Since we have to prepare in advance just in case, then now we can directly imagine it from the perspective of 'just in case', if all this is Lu Bu's conspiracy, then first, there must be an ambush in Puyang City, and then, Lu Bu should still have at least half of his men outside the city." Then at that time, Lu Buna's half of the men and horses outside will only have two purposes at most, first, to attack the response we left outside the city, and second, to take advantage of the emptiness of our camp to directly run over and attack our camp! On both of these points, I think we have to guard against them. Guo Jia said.

"Take the opportunity to attack the camp? Ha! Cao Cao suddenly smiled, "If Lu Bu is really so stupid and sends half of his men and horses to attack our empty camp, then we can also take the opportunity to directly attack his empty Puyang City!" No matter how you look at it, this is also what we earned! Cao Cao said with a smile.

"In that case, then my opinion is that no one should be left to guard the camp, and all of them should be sent out to respond!" Guo Jia opened his mouth to suggest. (To be continued......)
