Cao Cao's words immediately let Le Jin, and Xu Zhu and the two of them were in high spirits.

One of the two was a personal participant, and the other was Cao Cao's most trusted head of the guard, and they were no strangers to Yuan Shao's southward journey. There is so much idle talk in the front, which can be regarded as getting to the point.

"Don't hide it from the prime minister, this king has won Yuan Shao's trust. At most, in January, Yuan's army will inevitably go south and take the white horse directly. Lu Yao spoke eloquently, and his words were full of strong confidence.

Cao Cao's pupils shrank, and he couldn't care about the gap between him and Lu Yao, and he groaned intently.

Whether Lu Yao can gain Yuan Shao's trust or not, he doesn't care. What he cared about was whether Yuan Jun would really take the white horse first when he went south.

Hakuba is only a river away from Liyang. Put yourself in their shoes, Yuan Shao would indeed capture Baima first to ensure that the army could cross the river safely. However, Yanjin's geographical advantages are more obvious. Going south along the river, Yanjin can be taken directly, which is equivalent to directly tearing through the defense line of Cao's army. At that time, if you go south to take Yangwu, you can go straight to Guandu, and it will not be far from Xuchang.

Will Yuan Shao take the white horse first, or go straight to Yanjin?

In Cao Cao's view, this multiple-choice question is a dilemma. Take the white horse first, focus on stability, and you can slowly figure it out. This is the last thing he wants to see. What he expected was that Yuan Shaobing would be quick and lengthen the supply line. That's where the opportunity comes in. And to take Yanjin directly, the emphasis is on winning by surprise and greatly reducing the difficulty. It can be described as good news for Yuan Shao. It was a big disadvantage for him.

All he was missing was time.

Thinking like this, he would rather Yuan Shao choose the outcome he least wanted to see. Take the white horse first, and then advance steadily, slowly trying to figure it out. As a result, he was able to gain enough time to lay out and let Yuan Shao jump into the pit.

So the only question is why Yuan Shao would listen to what Lu Yao said and go to fight the white horse first?

"Is this true?" Cao Cao asked in a deep voice, regaining his true character as a hero, completely forgetting how miserable Xiahoudun and the others were.

"This king has been fighting for many years, and he has never lied." Lu Yao smiled faintly, his eyebrows full of strong confidence. Because of this, he sent Jia Xu to Yecheng. With Yuan Shao's temperament of being afraid of wolves and tigers, I am afraid that he has already been tricked, and he has made up his mind to take the white horse first.

"Good!" Cao Cao could no longer contain the joy in his heart on the spot, and applauded.

Although Yanjin has a heavy army, the white horse is the focus of his plan. The northerners are not good at water. Separated by the vast Yellow River, Yuan Shao was not so easy to transport the army to the south bank. Coupled with the elite sailor in Lu Yao's hand, it is not too simple to delay time.

"The last general is willing to lead his army to the White Horse." When Le Jin heard this, he lost no time in taking the initiative to ask for reinforcements and led the army to Baima for reinforcements.

"Exactly." Cao Cao groaned slightly, gladly grateful.

Dongjun Taishou Liu Yan is not capable after all. If Yuan's army goes south to take the white horse, I am afraid that it will be difficult to support it alone. One more Lejin help, but also to win more time for a calm layout.

"The last general will try his best to keep the white horse from losing." Lejin was overjoyed, and made a military order on the spot.

Cao Cao laughed loudly, his mood was too good, and he looked at Lu Yao intentionally or unintentionally. See, this is our people, all of them are no worse than yours. He is still haunted by what happened to Xiahoudun and the others.

"General Le is here, there is more than one luck." Lu Yao said coldly.

Cao Cao: "......"

Lejin: "......"

Is it really good to say such depressing words in front of the parties when the expedition is about to go?

"The prince is too worried. The last general is not incompetent. Le Jin was so angry that he sneered coldly.

Lu Yao was noncommittal, ignored him, turned to Cao Cao, and said with a smile: "Although this king can be sure that Yuan Shao will take the white horse first when he goes south, he still needs to make a little arrangement. General Le is going to Baima, but he is afraid that it will be really fierce. ”

Cao Cao's expression froze.

That's right. The prince is a good and bad person. Since Lejin put into effect, it has shown good strength. In terms of martial arts, it is not inferior to Xiahoudun and other generals, otherwise he would not have let Le Jin and Li Dian go to Liyang. In terms of military strategy, Lejin is also outstanding, a proper good general. Now that the war has not started, Xiahoudun has already been folded, and Cao Hong's two generals, if Lejin is folded again, there will be fewer people available.

Thinking of this, Cao Cao smiled and said, "If the prince has any other arrangements, you might as well speak up." ”

Lu Yao smiled faintly and just looked at Le Jin.

Le Jin was also looked at by Lu Yao at this time, and his heart was furious. That's right, this is the King of Zhuya, I really took the initiative to jump into the pit, and I don't know how I died when I was killed by the pit. So he shut up at the moment, became a dumb and blind man, and turned a blind eye to Lu Yao.

"If you want Yuan Shao to take the white horse first, this king will pretend to obey and raise troops from Qingzhou to the south to contain the prime minister. Secondly, it was necessary to arrange for Uncle Liu to march west along the river, through the Mengjin garrison Luyang, in order to attack and harass Xuchang. Lu Yao said this, and stopped abruptly.

Cao Cao's face changed several times. Your sister continued, what does this have to do with the white horse?

Navy!

Cao Cao's heart moved, and he thought of the sailor in Lu Yao's hand again. Above the river, this sailor is invincible. And on land, it is also a force to be reckoned with.

Could it be that there is still a group of soldiers and horses hidden in the water division.

Cao Cao wanted to order someone to find Cangyue to inquire on the spot. However, Cangyue is still following the army on the way back to Xuchang. He had no choice but to give up, and tentatively said: "The prince has another strange soldier?" ”

Lu Yao smiled but did not speak.

Le Jin's face also changed at this time. Thinking about it carefully, when it was captured and put on the ship, the sailors were indeed strange, and the troops seemed to be a little more than ordinary ships. It's just that I was depressed at the time and didn't take it to heart. Now that I think about it, I'm afraid that the sailor is not simple.

"Prime Minister......" Le Jin thought of this, and wanted to tell Cao Cao the truth on the spot, but when he saw Lu Yao's meaningful smile, he couldn't help but feel nervous, and he didn't know whether he should say it in front of Lu Yao.

"If you have something to say, why hide it." Xu Zhu said in a muffled voice. He couldn't interject, and he couldn't understand what he was saying, and he was already bored. Cao Cao is the lord, Lu Yao is the prince, and these two fighters are just fine. What kind of garlic are you packing?

Cao Cao had already seen Le Jin's thoughts at this time, raised his hand to stop Xu Zhu, looked at Lu Yao and said with a smile: "The prince has already made a plan, but it is a certain abruptness." Maybe, according to the prince's opinion, when can he gallop to the aid of the white horse? ”

"When Yuan Shao went south, it was the day General Le left." Lu Yao smiled faintly, all kinds of strategies, all kinds of confidence, and Cao Cao and the others fell silent again.

"Won't it be late?" Lejin was silent for a moment, frowning. At that time, I was afraid that before I arrived, Yuan's army captured the white horse.

"This king's subordinates are not ornaments." Lu Yao said proudly.

Cao Cao and the others were stunned. When you think about it, it is. Lu Yao gained Yuan Shao's trust, and suddenly turned against Yuan Shao when the troops surrounded Baima, and then blocked the river with a naval division, so that he could still fight and destroy Yuan on the south bank of the Yellow River. On second thought, no. Destroying Yuan Shao's vanguard has no impact on the battle situation.

It's a pity.

Cao Cao couldn't help but sigh that Yuan Shao's good life was that there was such a Yellow River blocking it. If there is no Yellow River moat, destroy Yuan Shao's vanguard, and immediately wave the army north, you will definitely be able to bite off a piece of meat.

After cleaning up his mood a little, Cao ** Lang laughed: "Okay, everything depends on the prince." ”
