Chapter 318 Outside the Bureau
"My lord, how did he answer?" Even if he didn't ask, just Cao Cao's expression, Cheng Yu almost guessed the answer.
was fighting in front of the two armies, but Cao Cao's confidant Dian Wei, in the case of the unclear battle situation, Cao Cao did not turn back once on the way back to his own formation, obviously the negotiations failed to achieve the most ideal effect.
"Isn't that the set? I can't fool anyone, but I don't understand his true thoughts, I'm ashamed, I'm ashamed. Cao Cao shook his head and smiled bitterly, in the bursts of gold and iron strikes, it seemed intermittent, and Cheng Yu had to get closer to hear clearly.
"Still so tough?" Cheng Yu also frowned when he heard this.
It was his idea to throw out the news of Youzhou for testing, since he couldn't guess Wang Yu's true intentions, he simply didn't guess, and directly turned against the guest. The negotiations with Wuhuan and Xianbei were all carried out by Liu Yu, and Cao Cao didn't know how far he had go, and Wang Yu should have reacted somewhat when he suddenly threw out this fierce material.
With Cao Cao's ability to observe words and colors, when he is face-to-face, how can he be able to show some scrutiny, however, Wang Yu himself is synonymous with unreasonableness.
Cheng Yu didn't understand where a weak-crowned young man came from such a deep city, and he also understood that Wang Yu was pretending to be tough, but no matter what, the first temptation was a failure.
"Don't worry, no matter how deeply Wang Yu hides his true intentions, it can't be seamless, there will still be signs of revealing it after all. If he intends to plot against his lord, he will try to lure the enemy into this battle; If he is interested in General Liu, he will preserve his strength; Of course, he may also take advantage of our army's vigilance mentality, and take the plan as the plan, and take the retreat as the advance, or the advance as the retreat...... In short, the key to this battle is to calm down and brake statically, so that the calculation can be reversed. ”
Cheng Yu's tirade made Cao Cao bow his head again and again, but the others were dizzy. Whether it is Wang Yu or Cheng Yu, their thinking is to simplify the complex situation first, distinguish the priorities, and then re-complicate it, such a complex way of thinking, ordinary people will definitely not be able to keep up with the ideas.
To put it simply, because the two did not join forces, they had various opportunities to break through, so the target of Wang Yu's southward movement was either Liu Dai or Cao Cao. No matter how much he tries to hide it, this basic judgment will not be wrong.
It's more difficult to just make a specific judgment.
Under normal circumstances, Wang Yu attacked Cao Cao, and Liu Dai should cross the river to rescue. But Wang Yu is likely to be a false shot, attacking Cao is fake, and attracting Liu Dai is true. The strange soldiers have been ambushed near the ferry, and when Liu Dai began to cross the river, the ambushes were everywhere, and they attacked in half a crossing, and the strategies of each breakthrough were achieved.
However, if Liu Dai does not come to the rescue, or if he comes too late, Wang Yu may also fake the show and launch a surprise attack, solve Cao Cao first, make Liu Dai suspicious, and draw the ground as a prison.
Although Wang Yu's forces are weak, but the initiative is in his hands, as a passive party, Cao Cao can only try to guess Wang Yu's true intentions, otherwise he will fall into the dilemma of friendly troops being attacked or fighting alone.
guessed correctly, he could make a plan, focus on the anti-guest, and take advantage of Wang Yu's advance as retreat, when he attacked Liu Dai, he raided from behind the other party; Or let Wang Yu think that Liu Dai was in the middle of the plan, and when he attacked Cao Cao, let Liu Dai's army suddenly appear on the battlefield.
The war started in advance in order to avoid falling into Wang Yu's delaying tactics.
On the Qingzhou side, the several reinforcements that may appear are all on other missions.
Yu Ban's troops were to be stationed in Qingzhou; Gongsun Chan wants to return to Youzhou as soon as possible; The recruits recruited by Zhao Yun are even more far away in Changshan, one south and one north of Qinghe, which is very far away - at present, Jizhou is fighting everywhere, whether he can recruit soldiers, whether the recruited soldiers can become an army, and whether they will be blocked on the way back, are all unknown.
But there is no doubt about one thing, before Yuan Shao's main force arrives, the later the time of the war, the more beneficial it will be for Wang Yu.
This is a paradox, but it really happened, after discovering that the Qingzhou army was moving south, Cao Cao also urgently sent a messenger to contact Yuan Shao. Yuan Shao's people have not been found yet, but the intelligence of the Guangping war situation has been fed back.
The Montenegrin army couldn't defeat Yuan Shao's main force, but it ran fast, Zhang Yan was worthy of the name of Feiyan, with an army of 100,000, in Guangping, Julu, Xiangguo, and other areas, tossing and turning.
Yuan Shao desperately chased and intercepted, but he could only eat ashes behind his back. But he can't leave it alone, otherwise he will be in danger of being copied by Zhang Yan's nest, and now he is also in a hurry, and he is smoking.
In the guerrilla war, not only could he not collect grain and grass, but also the consumption and risk were also very large.
But in a short period of time, he was still at ease.
Cao Cao believed that Zhang Yan's actions would not be purely for the sake of vindictiveness, but in an effort to cooperate with the Qinghe battlefield to break through Wang Yu's various strategies and gain time. If you are satisfied with the situation of encirclement on all sides, do not seek progress, and only think about relying on friendly forces, King Qin's discussion of Dong is a lesson from the past.
The strength of the Qing and Youyou coalition forces is not as strong as Dong Zhuoqiang, but Wang Yu's strategic vision is much stronger than Dong Zhuo's, which is really careless.
Cheng Yu's strategy is based on this foundation. Tempting with military intelligence is the first step; Then there will be a test on the battlefield.
In terms of risk, both sides are almost the same, they are dancing on the tip of the knife, and whoever falls into the trap of the other party will only have one way to perish.
"Send someone to Pengcheng again......" As the dragon battle was going on in the center of the battlefield, Cao Cao suddenly burst out without a head.
"Peng Cheng?" Cheng Yu was stunned for a moment and reminded: "Lord, although Zang Ba is ambitious, but his courage is insufficient, unless the battle situation in Hebei changes, it will be difficult for Xuzhou to make a breakthrough, if it is too tight......"
The so-called Qiao woman is difficult to cook without rice, after Xue Li ran away, Xi Zhicai only left Cao Jun's 1,000 light cavalry, although Xuzhou is not strong, but if you want to open up the situation, this little soldier is far from enough.
If Cao Cao only thought about increasing the containment and making it impossible for the Qingzhou army to go north to rescue, maybe it would be self-defeating and could not solve Xu Shu, but he would be able to get into it.
It is true that Cheng Yu and Xi Zhi have a competitive relationship, but this relationship is a healthy competition, he will not be like those celebrities in Jizhou, just thinking about dragging his colleagues back, he is concerned about the overall situation.
For the current Cao Jun, Xi Zhicai's talent is indispensable.
Cao Cao shook his head and said: "The way to use troops is to clearly distinguish the situation and weigh it. Since it is difficult for Xuzhou to do anything, if it is entangled again, it will be stalked, and there is a danger of breaking each other. I mean, let Zhicai collect the troops. ”
Cheng Yu was taken aback: "Collect the troops? Give up Xuzhou? ”
He didn't expect Cao Cao to make such a decision. It is a very remarkable move to contain and weaken Xuzhou with more than 1,000 cavalry, and when the time is ripe, to cooperate with the army to advance eastward in one fell swoop, and to pocket this anointed land. Give up now, and the previous efforts are likely to be in vain.
"Give up for the time being and fight the battle of Hebei wholeheartedly." Cao Cao nodded, and when he looked up, a hint of calm and resolute color flashed in his eyes: "Zang Ba has been preparing to move recently, and his ambition has appeared, even if Tao Qian calms down the civil strife, his vitality will be greatly damaged, and it is impossible to deal with Zang Ba again, so no matter whether our army retreats or not, Qingzhou must leave a minimum of military strength to guard against Zang Ba." ”
"I see." Cheng Yu suddenly realized, "From Zhicai's withdrawal to the reinforcement of the Qingzhou Army on the southern front, there will always be ten days and a half months, such a long time, General Yuan should also ......" The more he said, the brighter his eyes became: "After Liu Yuanjun heard the news, he should not blindly stand still." ”
Compared with Wang Yu's psychological warfare, Liu Dai's attitude was originally very worrying. This person is full of aristocracy, greed and selfishness, even if Wang Yu doesn't use any schemes, he may not come to the rescue in time, if he is confused by Wang Yu's strategy, there will be more excuses to wait and see.
"Not bad." Cao Cao sneered: "When I sent someone to Pengcheng, I also sent a letter to Liu Gongshan by the way, telling him all the military information here, warning him that there may be ambushes on the north bank of the Great River, and the Qingzhou army of Mount Tai and Beihai is also being assembled, preparing to go north!" ”
"The lord has a clever plan, and Yu respects it." Cheng Yu praised sincerely.
According to common sense, to deal with people like Liu Dai, you have to coax and deceive, and you can't make him feel that the enemy is too strong, so as not to scare him away. But Cao Cao did the opposite, saying that the situation was very bad, which made Liu Dai have a sense of urgency and forced him to cross the river to meet the teacher.
He was not afraid of scaring Liu Dai away, because if Taishan's Huang Zhongbu really moved, then Liu Dai's back road had actually been cut off. Unless he runs west and takes refuge in Cao Cao's territory.
The cost of doing so was too great, and they ran to besiege with great fanfare, but they didn't even reach the shadow of the enemy, so they lost their armor and ran away. Even if you don't consider Cao Cao, Yuan Shao, or Wang Yu's revenge, Liu Dai's reputation is completely finished, and the plan to win the world will never be mentioned again.
As soon as the news arrived, Liu Dai could only give up waiting and seeing, cross the river as soon as possible, and meet Wang Yu with Cao Cao.
This person is not very bold, since he has been warned, before crossing the river, he will definitely be careful and careful, even if Wang Yu really set up an ambush, if he can't attack halfway, he can't help Liu Dai's 30,000 army, but it may evolve into a situation of fighting on both sides.
At that time, Wang Yu's advantages in fighting on the inside line were all gone, and the longer the time dragged on, the more beneficial it was to Cao Cao. Wang Yu is now single-handed, bluffing, and when the time comes, it will be liquidated together, so that his intestines will be repentant.
Cheng Yu took the order and left, and Cao Cao's eyes turned back to the battlefield.
In fact, except for people like him and Cheng Yu, the attention of the officers and men of the two armies has long been completely focused on the battlefield, because this battle between dragons and tigers is too fierce and exciting. (To be continued.) Please search, the novel is better and faster!)
