Peek at my diary, Cao Cao dominates the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 122 Showing the enemy to be weak

"Does the sound hit the west?"

Just when everyone was looking forward to knowing Xi Zhicai's detailed strategy,

Xi Zhicai looked at Cao Cao who was sitting in the main seat and asked with a smile:

"My lord, do you still remember the tactics Chang Sheng and Feng Xiao used when they defeated Yuan Shu's generals in Yingchuan?"

"Of course I remember, it seems to be a plan to call for help?" Thinking of the good deeds of Lu Yan and Guo Jia, Cao Cao suddenly laughed, "That fellow Zhang Xun, I'm afraid my heart has been hurt a lot."

Cheng Yu looked at the two copper coins on the table and said thoughtfully:

"Zhicai, what do you mean we pretended to attack Tan (tan) city, and then ambushed Tao Qian's reinforcements halfway?"

But Cheng Yu felt a little stiff no matter how he thought about it, and said:

"But we only have 6 people in total.

If we don't care about Pengcheng and divert to Tancheng, if Tao Qian doesn't go to the rescue, he will directly cut off our retreat
Then if we don't have logistical supplies, wouldn't we have to mess ourselves up? "

Cheng Yu's worry was justified.

The main thing here is Xuzhou, which is Tao Qian's territory, and the defense of Tancheng is no less than that of Pengcheng. Even if they pretend to besiege, they may not be able to attack.

If Tao Qian was a little smarter, instead of going to rescue, he took advantage of the situation to cut off Cao Jun's food road,
At that time, Cao Jun himself will become a turtle in the urn, and he will surround himself with a hairy man and order some help.
To Cheng Yu's doubts, Xi Zhicai only answered two words, "Divide the troops!"

"Divide the troops?" Cheng Yu was even more puzzled, "Tancheng has General Tao Qian Zang Ba leading [-] soldiers to garrison, how much can we divide to threaten Tancheng?"

"And after the division of troops, will Tao Qian sit idly by? What if he leads Pengcheng's soldiers out?"

Thinking of this, Cheng Yu suddenly caught something in his mind!
"That's right! If Tao Qian sees our division of troops, maybe he will see the right time and go out of the city to fight!"

Xi Zhicai nodded and replied:

"That's right, pretending to divide the troops, and then showing the enemy's weakness to lure the Pengcheng enemy troops out of the city.

If Tao Qian dared to come out, Pengcheng would be destroyed! "

Cao Ren was a little confused. Aren't these two strategies?So he asked aloud: "Then what does this have to do with Mr. Lu and Guo Junshi's strategy when they defeated Zhang Xun?"

"The military division didn't want to copy Changsheng and Fengxiao's strategies, but just borrowed from their ideas when they defeated the enemy."

Cheng Yu opened his mouth and explained for Cao Ren and other generals:

"There is a saying in the art of war: If you can, you can show that you can't; if you can use it, you can show that you can't use it; if you can use it, you can show it you can't;

The success of the schemes of longevity and filial piety,
It is to fully mobilize the enemy, while leading the enemy by the nose, and then lay an ambush on the enemy's only way, and finally defeat the enemy! "

Xi Zhicai went on to say: "We also want to mobilize the enemy this time.

But Mr. Lu and the others are using the enemy teammates as bait,

And we are just using ourselves as bait. "

This time, after some explanations from Cheng Yu and Xi Zhicai, everyone finally understood the key to these two strategies.

"Oh~~" Dian Wei patted his head, and after oh, he said, "I still don't understand."

"."

"Forget it, Lieutenant Dian, you can just charge forward and leave the brain to us." Cheng Yu said helplessly.

Dian Wei's muscles trembled when he heard this, he grinned and said, "I love hearing that!"

Cao Cao looked at Dian Wei with great interest, and thought:

"According to Mr. Lu, this guy is invincible in foot combat. I really want to see who is more lethal between him and Zilong on the battlefield!"

The strategy was decided, so Cao Cao asked Cao Ren and Xiahou brothers to cooperate with Xi Zhicai and Cheng Yu to implement it.

Seeing that his two counselors had decided on a strategy to defeat the enemy between questions and answers, Cao Cao was immediately relieved: "It is good to have a counselor like Zhong De who has ambition!

I used to rack my brains to come up with a strategy to defeat the enemy. They killed the enemy with just a few words, which is great.
When Feng Xiao returns to my side again, then I can really sit back and relax and take over the world! "

Chenliu County, in Lu Yan's house,

"Ah!" Guo Jia sneezed violently, which startled Lu Yan who was giving him an injection.

"I said Feng Xiao, can you stop sneezing at critical moments?
You are startled by this movement, what if I tie it in the wrong place? "

Lu Yan pinched a long silver needle and reproached with lingering fear.

"Maybe it's because I don't wear too much, I've caught a cold"

Guo Jia rubbed his nose, adjusted his posture to make himself more comfortable, and then said:

"Go on. I feel that your medical skills have improved a lot recently. After you gave the needles, your body is much more relaxed."

When Lu Yan heard it, he was pleasantly surprised: "Really? Then can I change my routine today?"

"." The fate of the little white mouse, when will it be big?

Tao Qian insisted on defending Pengcheng and refused to come out because he was afraid that Cao's army would be in full swing.

What's more, Cao Cao's soldiers and horses have more good generals than Tao Qian's, so going out is simply not a pleasure for himself.

It's a pity that Zang Ba, Sun Guan and others are not here,
Tao Qian couldn't come up with the kind of fierce general who could kill the enemy in front of the formation, so Tao Qian really didn't have much interest in activities such as fighting generals in front of the formation.

Regarding what Xi Zhicai said, would Tao Qian be fooled by pretending to divide his troops to attack Tancheng in the East China Sea, and then show the enemy his weakness?

Cao Cao felt that Tao Qian might be fooled!
Tao Qian didn't have any good advisors under his command,
Although there are Chen Gui and Chen Deng and his sons, one resigned and returned home, while the other has not yet returned and is acting as a lobbyist with Tian Kai in Qingzhou.

With Tao Qian's own ability, the chance of being fooled is not small.
Speaking of Chen Deng, I am afraid he should be Tao Qian's most capable adviser.

Chen Dengzi Yuanlong, what is his talent?

Liu Bei's comment may be enough to explain: "If Yuanlong has the courage to be civil and military, you should seek it from Gu Er, and it is rare to compare it."

Liu Bei's evaluation of Chen Deng means: "A hero like Yuan Long who is well-equipped with both civil and military skills and outstanding courage can only be found in ancient times. Today, it is difficult for all living beings to be as good as anyone."

In terms of knowledge of people, Liu Bei should be at the top level.

Although his evaluation of Chen Deng may be exaggerated, the person who can be evaluated by Liu Bei must have his uniqueness.

After Chen Deng was 25 years old, he served successively as Dongyang county magistrate.

Although he is young, he is able to understand the sentiments of the people, caress the weak and raise the orphans, and is deeply respected by the people.

Later, Tao Qian promoted him to be the captain of Diannong Xiaowei (Lu Yan: I am lucky to meet you), in charge of agricultural production in a state, development of water conservancy, and irrigation, so that the people of Xuzhou can live and work in peace and contentment, and rice can be abundant.

In peaceful times, Chen Deng was a capable minister, which was his political ability.

But Tao Qian didn't know that Chen Deng actually had good views on military matters.

Regarding Chen Deng's military skills, Sun Shiwan in history probably has the most say (狗头保健.jpg).

It's a bit far to say,

Tao Qian is a man who is proud of his talents and has few advisers around him.

And even if there is, will he listen to the counselor's strategy, and how much can he listen to?These are probably still problems.

Cao Jun has already made a plan to divide his troops and show the enemy his weakness.

So two days later,

Cao Jun began to organize several decent sieges.

However, Cao Jun's sieges were all thunderous and rainy,
Every time they just left hundreds of corpses and returned in embarrassment, and they never made any achievements.

"That's it?"

Gradually, Tao Qian began to feel,
"Cao Aman, you are nothing more than that!"
