Chapter Ninety-Six: The Clash of Top Strategists

& Back to the lord, the yellow turban thief is poisonous, raising 80,000 troops from Wei County to the south, and now he has crossed the Yellow River, and will enter the territory of Dongjun in a few days! In the Puyang Taishou Mansion in Dongjun, a brocade guard in a black brocade coat knelt on the ground on one knee, clasped his fists to Cao Cao, and told the news of Yu Poison's invasion.

& so fast. ”

Cao Cao muttered in a low voice, facing the civil and military forces below, and when he was about to ask each other, he suddenly saw a picture of Xi Zhicai who was not thinking about it below, frowned, and asked out loud with a hint of doubt: "Zhicai, why are you thinking so obsessed?" ”

Cao Cao's voice made the rest of the civil and military eyes focus on Xi Zhicai, who has been haunted since he entered Dongjun, Guo Jia, who was behind Xi Zhicai, saw that Xi Zhicai still didn't come back to his senses, so he quietly pulled his sleeve.

Xi Zhicai, whose sleeves were pulled back to his senses by Guo Jia, thought of his rudeness just now, and after first coming out of the queue to Cao Cao to confess his guilt, he said: "Back to the lord, I have been thinking about one thing just now, that is, the movement of the former Dongjun Taishou Wang Qiu, lord, don't you feel that this Dongjun Taishou is **quiet?" ”

Hearing Xi Zhicai's words, Cao Cao suddenly came back to his senses, thought about it, and indeed found that this Dongjun Taishou was quiet and unlikely, if it wasn't for Xi Zhicai's mention, he would have almost forgotten that there was such a person in Dongjun.

If things are abnormal, there must be demons, this sentence flashed in Cao Cao's mind like a thunderbolt, and Cao Cao, whose eyes suddenly became sharp, looked at the Jinyi guard below and asked: "Recently, what is the abnormal dynamics of the former East County Taishou Wang Qiuke?!" ”

The brocade guard was stunned, thought for a while, and said with a hint of hesitation and uncertainty: "Back to the lord, if there is any change in Wang Qiu in recent days, then there is only one thing, that is, I heard that Wang Qiu has become very irritable because he has been sick in bed for a period of time recently, and several of his staff have been expelled. ”

& Except for the staff?! ”

Xi Zhicai's eyes lit up, and something vaguely flashed in his mind, and he couldn't wait to ask: "Do you know where the staff members who were expelled went after leaving, and when was the specific time of each staff?" ”

&There are three of them, the first is when our army has just entered Dongjun, the second is when our army is besieging Puyang City, and the third is after our army captures Puyang City, and the departure direction of these three staff members is to Jizhou in the north. ”

As soon as Jin Yiwei's words came out, Cao Cao and Guo Jia's eyes changed one after another, and they almost understood something in their hearts at this time.

&Oh, it's really accurate and coincidental, the three expulsions of the staff were all in such a moment, and the direction of departure turned out to be Jizhou, it turned out to be like this, I didn't expect that the courage of this Dongjun Taishou was really big. ”

Xi Zhicai's eyes were bright, he turned to face Cao Cao, bowed his hand slightly and said: "My lord, if the humble position is not wrong, then the reason why Wang Qiu has been so quiet in recent days is to wait for Wei Jun's Yu Poison and prepare a two-phase attack to destroy our army!" Cao Cao's eyes narrowed, to be honest, Wang Qiu actually caught a cold in the world and joined forces with the Yellow Turban Army, which was indeed something Cao Cao did not expect, but that's all.

> Now that you know what the other side is planning, what do you think our army should do next? Cao Cao asked indifferently towards the civil and military forces below.

& Gong, Puyang City to the south of a hundred miles, there is a trail, the trail is surrounded by mountains on both sides, it can be described as precipitous, according to the humble position, do not send a general, ambush in the trail, once the enemy appears, you can take advantage of the situation to kill, kill them by surprise! "Wang Qiu wants to join Yu Yu and carry out a two-sided attack, then Xi Zhicai will fundamentally, so that this strategy will not be successful, as long as Wang Qiu is not allowed to successfully enter the territory of Puyang, let him be sniped on the trail south of Puyang, then the so-called two-sided attack is just an attic in the air, this so-called bottom of the kettle.

&& Then act accordingly, Xiahoudun! ”

& Will be in! ”

Cao Cao, who was at the top, looked at Xiahoudun who was out of the ranks, and said in a deep voice: "I order you, lead 10,000 troops, ambush and the 100-mile trail south of Puyang, once the enemy army appears, then immediately cover up and kill the past!" ”

After Xiahoudun heard Cao Cao's appointment, a light flashed in his eyes, and he shouted in a deep voice: "The last general is ordered!" ”

&

After Cao Cao nodded, he looked at Zhao Yundao and said, "Zilong, I will appoint you as the vanguard and lead the army of five thousand first!" ”

& Command! ”

After Zhao Yun received the order, Cao Cao continued to give orders: "Dian Wei, Xu Chu, Xi Zhicai, Guo Jia, you and the other four, follow me to lead 30,000 troops to fight against the poison!" ”

& Will be commanded! Cao Cao's four civil and military officers came out of the ranks and responded in a coaxing voice.

After letting Xiahou Yuan lead 10,000 troops to defend Puyang City, Cao Cao also led the army, a total of 35,000 people went north to meet the attack!

& in, I think the eyes of the people of the world are on Cao Cao and Yu Poison. ”

In the palace of the city where the former Dongjun Taishou Wang Qiu was located, an old man wearing a scribe's uniform and approaching the age of a sixtieth birthday touched his snow-white beard and said as if talking to himself.

This old man looks almost no different from ordinary old men, they are all the same old and kind, but Wang Qiu who is standing next to the old man doesn't think so in his heart, as long as he thinks of what this old man did when he first came, Wang Qiu can't help but shudder.

Wang Qiu, who was in awe and awe of this old man in his heart. After hearing this, he said almost flatteringly: "The military advisor is really like a god, and Cao Agui's every move can't hide from you, the military advisor, come to think of it, the strategy planned by the military advisor is not far from success at this time." ”

The old man glanced at Wang Qiu, did not speak, turned around step by step, as if enjoying the beautiful scenery, and left slowly, until he came to the gate of the mansion, he said: "The time is almost up, the general can lead the troops to set off, by the way, the general had better not take the trail a hundred miles south of Puyang, if the two strategists under Cao Cao are really the two boys that the old man knows, there must be a big gift for the general." ”

Wang Qiu didn't know if he hadn't come back to his senses yet, or if he really didn't know what the big gift in the old man's mouth was, so he asked stupidly: "I don't know what the big gift that the military advisor said?" ”

&Oh, that great gift is to send the general to meet the general's ancestors and ancestors! ”

The old man glanced at Wang Qiu, whose face was pale, turned around, and strode out of the mansion with a pace that did not look like an old man who was approaching the age of sixtieth year.
