Peek at my diary, Cao Cao dominates the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 484 Come on, the road has been cleared for you!
"Hahaha!!" Xia Houyuan made a small joke, and everyone couldn't help laughing together, and the atmosphere in the Chinese army's big tent suddenly became a lot easier.

Cao Cao stroked his beard, and when everyone quieted down, he said, "In this way, Yuan Shang will have a lot to do along the way."

After Guo Jia calmed down, he cupped his hands again and said to Cao Cao: "Master, Jia thinks that you can send someone to Chen Yuanlong in Dongjun to send troops to cooperate with Zilong to capture Yangping County.

In this way, you can not only transfer Zilong's army without making Yuan Shang suspicious, but also occupy another state and county in Jizhou.

Why not do it when you can do more than one thing? "

"Okay, just follow Fengxiao's words!" Cao Cao felt that Guo Jia's proposal was very good, so he made a decisive decision and ordered: "Come here, pass on our military order to order Zhao Zilong and Xia Houlan to send troops to cooperate with Chen Yuanlong to attack Yangping County!"

"Order Dongjun to order the governor of Dongjun, Chen Yuanlong, to send out all his troops, and to cooperate with Zhao Zilong to occupy Yangping County!"

After the order was issued, Cao Cao looked at Wenwu in the big tent again, and said, "Yuan Shangke has less than [-] soldiers. If he dares to attack our army, our army can hold him back and wait for reinforcements from other routes to support him." .”

"At that time, whether we defeat Yuan Shang all the way, or simply defeat together with the defenders who left the city, the morale of Yuan's army will definitely drop to the bottom. Once the morale of the army is lost, there will be no obstacles for us to attack Yecheng."

"Duke Cao is right!"

Jian'an six years, May.

Zhao Yun, who was stationed in Wei County, suddenly received a military order from Cao Cao.

After the messengers conveyed Cao Cao's military orders, they withdrew from the county government.

After Zhao Yun carefully read it two or three times, he slowly put away the military order in his hand and fell into deep thought.

Xia Houlan rarely saw Zhao Yun so puzzled, so he stepped aside and quietly waited for Zhao Yun to think.

After about a cup of tea, Zhao Yun finally came to his senses.

Seeing this, Xia Houlan immediately stepped forward and asked, "Zilong, what kind of military order came from Mr. Cao? It makes you so puzzled?"

Zhao Yun handed the military order in his hand to Xia Houlan, and said: "Mr. Cao ordered us to send troops to take Yangping County. What I don't understand is that Yangping County is already in our pocket. Why send troops to take it at this critical period?"

"Huh?" Xia Houlan heard the words, read the military order carefully, and said in doubt: "Yes. If we leave now, wouldn't Yuan Shang be able to return to Yecheng unimpeded?"

Zhao Yun vaguely felt that Cao Cao's arrangement was not as simple as it seemed on the surface, but due to limited information, he really couldn't figure out the deep meaning of Cao Cao's move.

Asking Yuan Shang to return to Yecheng, isn't that asking for trouble for himself?
Or, did Cao Cao think of a way to defeat Yuan Shang and take Yecheng?

Can't figure it out.
Since you can't figure it out, then don't think about it, Zhao Yun said to Xia Houlan: "Ziheng, sir and Guo Jijiu are both by Cao Gong's side. Since the military order is like this, Cao Gong must have a deep meaning in this move."

Xia Houlan grinned and said, "That's right. When it's time to waste your brain, Mr. Zi and Jijiu will do it. We just follow orders."

Zhao Yun said to Xia Houlan again: "Go and gather the soldiers, let them have a full meal first, and then we will take five days of dry food and send troops to Yangping County."

"Received!" Xia Houlan clasped her fists to accept the order, turned around and walked out of the county office.

Dongjun, Puyang New City.

One day after Zhao Yun received the military order, Cao Cao's military order also reached Chen Deng.

Unlike Zhao Yun and Xia Houlan who were stunned after receiving the military order, Chen Deng quickly thought of the key point.

"It seems that my lord is planning to deal with Yuan Shang.
It's just a pity that I don't know the specific situation of Yecheng and Yuan Shang's army, otherwise I can more or less deduce the master's strategy. "

Thinking of this, Chen Deng couldn't help but secretly sighed:

"Hey, wouldn't it be a waste of my talent to keep guarding this three-acre land in East County?"

After Chen Deng vomited out more than a dozen pots of worms last time, he finally fully recovered after a long period of treatment.

Now his stomach has returned to its normal size, his face is no longer abnormally red, and his body looks a little stronger.

In the past, due to his poor health, Chen Deng couldn't fight with the army, and he couldn't even go too far.

But now that my body is better, my mind is full, and my thoughts are more positive when I am full of energy.

Although Chen Deng felt a little regretful because he couldn't guess Cao Cao's strategy, he still conveyed the order immediately after putting away the military order with an excited expression.

Today, Wei County bordering Yanzhou is mostly under the control of Cao Jun, Pingyuan County is under the control of ally Lu Bu, and only Yangping County is still hanging alone to the north of the Yellow River.

Walking out of the Sheriff's Mansion, Chen Deng felt that the sun was particularly bright today, and he murmured to himself: "Finally, I have another chance to belong to me. I, Chen Yuanlong, must be like Lu Huyqi, become a man with both civil and military skills and a history of history." The unparalleled national soldier who left his name!"

After a bloody battle between Yuan Shang and Yuan Tan, they retreated to the Guangzong area of ​​Jieqiao.

Although Yuan Shang won the battle with Yuan Tan in the end, the loss of Yuan Shang's army was not small.

"Military Master, where should we return to Yecheng from now?" Yuan Shang asked Guo Tu.

Guo Tu's face was exhausted. As a literati, his body was really overwhelmed by the long horseback riding.

After hearing Yuan Shang's question, Guo Tuqiang cheered up and replied, "My lord, I received news before that Cao Jun's vanguard general Zhao Zilong is now active in Wei County."

"Zhao Zilong?!" Yuan Shang suddenly heard Zhao Yun's name, and couldn't help shivering.

Turning his head back to look at the soldiers with low morale and almost all wounded, Yuan Shang said in his heart: "If you meet Zhao Yun's elite cavalry at this time, with my 3 people, I'm afraid it will be really difficult to stop him. .”

Thinking of this, Yuan Shang couldn't help asking: "Then can we bypass Wei County?"

Just when Guo Tu was about to answer, a scout flew up to report suddenly, saying: "Report! General! Our scouts encountered refugees fleeing northward from Yangping County. They said that a cavalry force entered from Wei County. Yangping County!"

"There are cavalry from Wei County to Yangping County???" Yuan Shang was very surprised, "How many cavalry does Cao Cao have?"

Guo Tu next to him thought for a while, and immediately said to Yuan Shang happily: "My lord, according to the previous information, I am afraid that Zhao Yun's cavalry invaded Yangping County!"

Yuan Shang's eyes widened, and he became even more puzzled, "Zhao Yun? Why did he attack Yangping County at this time?"

"It takes time for the message to pass. I think that Cao Cao should not know that our army has withdrawn from Qinghe County. He probably thinks that our army is still being restrained by Yuan Tan, so he sent troops impatiently, wanting to occupy Yangping County first." After that, we will mobilize the army to blockade the northwest line of Wei County. This will better prevent our army from returning to aid Yecheng!"

"He wants to besiege Yecheng, and now he wants to occupy Yangping County, completely blocking the way for our army to return to Yecheng. But how can he spare the extra army?"

"Dong Jun, Chen Deng!" Guo Tu said with a flash of light in his eyes.

Yuan Shang was stunned, "So that's how it is. What a cunning Cao Cao!"
