Chapter 492: The Battle of Guandu (8)
It's night.
The city of Guandu is brightly lit. The people in the government will gather together. Cao Cao sat upright, swept his eyes, and said sonorously: "Yuan Shao's heart is in turmoil, if the Yuan army is cut off at this time, this battle will be won." ”
When the words fell, Xu Chuden came out with his fists clenched, and said with a fighting spirit: "The last general is willing to lead an army to attack the black nest." ”
Without waiting for others to speak, Cao Cao first denied Xu Chu's invitation to fight: "I want to lead the army in person." ”
There was an uproar below, and everyone persuaded hard.
"Your lord must not be so rash." Even Guo Jia admonished him on the spot, insisting on refusing to let Cao Cao take the risk in person.
It is true that the battle situation is just like Lu Yao's calculations, but after all, a sneak attack on the black nest is deep into the enemy's territory. What's more, Yuan Shao must already know the importance of the black nest, and he must arrange heavy troops to defend it to the death. Cao Cao went, and if he didn't do it, he would beat the dog with meat buns. In short, as long as Lu Yao's side can block the Yellow River, Yuan Shao's heart is in turmoil, and the overall situation has been decided. It's the same whether Cao Cao goes or not. Why take the risk and give Yuan Shao a chance to turn the tables.
"I've made up my mind." Cao Cao Hu stood behind the case, and his eyes were bright.
Where are Guo Jia and other civil and military officers willing to listen, everyone persuaded hard, and some even admonished each other with death. Fortunately, it was stopped in time and no one died. But no one knew that Cao Cao was just gambling for a while.
From the beginning of this battle to the present, Cao Cao was shocked. From the initial public expedition to Xuzhou, and then the later teaming up with Lu Yao to pit Yuan Shao, almost everything was carried out step by step according to Lu Yao's layout.
He was scared.
But at the same time he knows one thing better. If you want to compete for the world, the first thing is to have a fearless heart. But Lu Yao has now become his inner demon, and has become a hurdle that cannot but be crossed.
If you can't get by, you will meet in the future, and you will be three points weaker if you don't fight. If you can get by, then you will be brave and diligent in the future, and you will no longer have a fearless heart.
How to endure it.
Personally leading the army to attack the Black Nest is certainly an adventure, but it means a lot to himself. He wants to overcome Lu Yao's inner demon with a desperate situation, and crush his fear of Lu Yao with a life-and-death crisis, so as to be sublimated and become a hero who seeks to compete in the Central Plains again.
For this reason, he didn't even invite Lu Yao to come over to discuss the matter.
"Order Cao Ren, Le Jin and other generals, see the chaos of Yuan's army, and immediately send troops." Cao Cao didn't look at Guo Jia and the other civil and military forces, and ordered in a deep voice.
"Order Guo Jia, Xiahoudun, Cao Hong and others to sit in Guandu to restrain a group of strangers."
"Order Xu Chu, Xu Huang and other generals to send troops to attack the black nest with a certain army."
Orders are given in an orderly manner. Cao Cao arranged all aspects properly, and did not leave Yuan Shao the slightest chance to turn the tables. Finally, he hesitated for a moment, and a flash of anger flashed in his eyes.
"After leading the army to the battle, immediately capture the king of Zhuya, and treat him well, not slowly."
When the words fell, Guo Jia's expression changed slightly, and then returned to normal. He knew that Cao Cao's order was specifically for him. Now that Lu Yao has only more than ten guards left, it is a great opportunity to do it. But the alien has an immortal body, and if he kills it, he will be resurrected in other places, so Cao Cao only seeks to survive and capture, not to kill Lu Yao. And he is the only one who will carry out this order.
There is no other reason, and at present, only he can calculate in advance what means Lu Yao will use to get out.
After Cao Cao gave the order, he ignored the bitter admonitions of the congregation and left on the spot, without giving him the slightest chance. After he left, all the civil and military forces were in an uproar.
"The son of a daughter can't sit down, how can he let the prime minister personally take risks?" Xun You smiled bitterly.
"Tomorrow I will go on the expedition, and I will stun the prime minister. He will punish the prime minister one day, and a certain force will bear it. Xu Chu is more direct, and opening his mouth is an idea.
The rest of the civil and military forces expressed their positions one after another, and their core meaning was not as fierce as Xu Chu, but they also reached a unity. The prime minister must not be allowed to take risks in the current good situation.
"This is the meaning of the prime minister." Guo Jia suddenly spoke faintly.
"If the prime minister makes a mistake, a certain person will take your dog's head." Xu Chu was furious and wanted to teach Guo Jia a lesson on the spot, but fortunately he was stopped by the rest of the generals.
"General Xu, don't be impatient." Guo Jia smiled helplessly: "A certain party just figured out why the prime minister was willing to take risks. It's not that the prime minister is stubborn for his own use, but he has to do it as a last resort. ”
Where is Xu Chu willing to believe, he will be crazy again on the spot, but fortunately, Lu Yao is mixed in the middle, and most of the main generals of the Cao army have not been sent out. Like Xiahoudun, Cao Ren, Cao Hong, Le Jin, Xu Huang, etc., are not under him.
Guo Jia ignored him and told his guess as if talking to himself, especially emphasizing that Lu Yao had now become Cao Cao's inner demon, and he couldn't help but get rid of it.
After Guo Jia finished speaking, Xiahoudun and Cao Hong looked at each other and smiled bitterly. Lu Yao is also the demon of the two of them. They were really afraid of Lu Yao. Although Cao Cao was not killed by Lu Yao, his identity was higher than them after all, and he saw it more thoroughly, and naturally he was more afraid of Lu Yao. That last order must be said to be based on this reason.
"So-and-so went and captured that guy." Xu Chu turned around angrily and left.
"No." Without waiting for Guo Jia to speak, Xiahoudun and Cao Hong rushed forward and stopped Xu Chu on the left and right.
"Why are you holding me back?" Xu Chu was furious.
"That guy is cunning and cunning, and at this time, he is afraid of startling the snake. If you let that guy escape, wouldn't you miss the prime minister's big thing? Cao Hong hated and persuaded bitterly.
After all, he was also one of the first confidants to follow Cao Cao to fight the world. After Guo Jia's explanation, Cao Hong vaguely guessed that Cao Cao was thinking that he wanted to leave Lu Yao behind, and wait until after the Yuan army was broken to show off his might to kill the demons in his heart. So if you want to leave the cunning Lu Yao, you have to lay out carefully and not leave flaws.
This, it takes time to arrange.
Xiahoudun and other generals also persuaded hard, so they persuaded Xu Chu. Then Guo Jia was not polite and immediately arranged it.
Early the next morning, Cao Cao came to the school ground, counted 10,000 iron horsemen and left Guandu, bypassed the front-line battlefield far away, and went straight to Wuchao.
When Cao Cao led the army to leave, Guo Jia and the others immediately took action and surrounded Lu Yao's residence. After making sure that it was okay, Guo Jia and the others walked in.
"The prime minister wants to capture the king alive?" When Lu Yao saw Guo Jia and the others coming, he smiled faintly, and he didn't look scared at all.
"No, the prime minister has confessed that he needs to be treated by the prince. I just want to ask the prince to stay with peace of mind, and I will never dare to owe the prince a degree. Guo Jia smiled lightly and had a gentle attitude.
"This king is a stranger." Lu Yao smiled meaningfully.
Guo Jia shook his head and smiled, and said in his chest: "Don't dare to hide it from the prince, a certain has already laid down the upside-down Five Elements Array, and all kinds of methods of aliens are useless." ”
Cao Ren and the other generals were immediately relieved and laughed.
Reversing the Five Elements Array can reverse Yin and Yang, and block all means of escape, including teleportation charms, with the Qi of the Five Elements. It can be said that no one can escape from the heavily guarded upside-down Five Elements Array.
"Lord Wang, don't ask me to wait for it to be difficult." Lejin smiled in the crowd and regained his mind.
Lu Yao smiled faintly, and his eyes swept over the faces of Guo Jia and the others: "Okay, this king will stay and wait for the prime minister's good news." ”
