Peek at my diary, Cao Cao dominates the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 552 Breaking through mountains and rivers, heading straight for Wuhuan's lair!

After confirming that he will go out with the army, Lu Yan put forward some ideas again:
"Grand Duke Cao, the focus of this surprise attack on Wuhuan lies in the word 'odd'.

Therefore, I suggest that our army can send a suspicious army from Binhai Road to Jieshi, and the route to Liucheng. "

"Huh? Isn't this the route I originally planned to take? It turned out to be just a suspicious soldier?" Cao Cao was surprised in his heart, but his face remained calm, waiting for Lu Yan's next words.

Seeing that Cao Cao had no objection, Lu Yan continued: "After the suspicious soldiers are used to attract the attention of the Wuhuan people, the main force of our army can go straight to Liucheng from another road and wipe out the Wuhuan people in one fell swoop!"

"Is there another way?" Guo Jia and the others looked at Lu Yan in surprise, and said in their hearts, "So he was already prepared!!"

Cao Cao was overjoyed and asked, "Is there another way to go straight to Liucheng?"

"Go to Lulongsai, pass White Wolf Mountain, and then go straight to Liucheng!"

"Lu Longsai? White Wolf Mountain!"

Under normal circumstances, the road from western Liaoning to Liucheng is the Binhai Road (it can also be said to be the road of Shanhaiguan in later generations), which means walking along the sea.

But Cao Cao knew this road, and the Wuhuan people naturally knew it too, and they took this road when they entered Youzhou.

It is precisely because the Wuhuan people know this road, so when the Wuhuan people withdrew from Youzhou, their defense lines were also deployed along this route.

If Cao Cao took this path to surprise the Wuhuan people, the effect might not be satisfactory.

And if they marched along the route of Lulongsai and Bailang Mountain, they would be concealed enough to make it difficult for the Wuhuan people to guard against them.

However, marching from this route requires crossing mountains and ridges and crossing rivers; and if you want to march quickly, you must be very familiar with the specific roads, otherwise it is easy to get lost in the mountains.

In fact, Lu Yan only knew the general route. As for whether there was a specific route or which route he should take, he didn't know.

But it doesn't matter, he doesn't know, but there is one person who knows very clearly.

You guessed it right, he is Tian Chou!
Cao Cao looked at the second route proposed by Lu Yan on the map, and after thinking for a while, he asked, "If you lose your way through mountains and rivers on this road, I'm afraid all your previous efforts will be wasted."

After expressing his worries, Lao Cao subconsciously raised his head to look at Lu Yan.

However, Cao Cao saw that when everyone was frowning and thinking, Lu Yan was still smiling faintly.

"No, since Immortal Lu proposed this plan, he must have a solution!" After Cao Cao reacted, he immediately asked, "Mister, do you already know the specific marching route?"

Guo Jia and the others looked at Lu Yan together, but to their surprise, Lu Yan shook his head and said, "No, I just know that this route is feasible, but I don't know exactly how to get there."

Cao Cao and the others were astonished when they heard this, "Uh, this."

"I don't know, but one person does."

Cao Cao was pleasantly surprised: "Who?"

"Can you finish talking at once?" Guo Jia complained as he kicked Lu Yan's calf lightly.

"Don't make trouble." Lu Yan kicked back and then continued: "His name is Tian Chou, and he should be living in seclusion in Xu Wushan now. And Xu Wushan is just on the route of our army!"

"I've heard of Tian Chou." Xun You had been an official in the court for many years, and he had heard a little bit about Tian Chou's deeds when he was recruited by the three princes at the same time but should not be.Not only did the Sangong Mansion fail to recruit, Yuan Shao also sent envoys several times to invite him, and even granted Tian Chou the general seal, but Tian Chou still refused. These things have become a legend in the local area.

"Tian Chou is a strange man, he is undoubtedly a great talent. But it may be difficult to recruit him to serve as the lord."

Speaking of this, Xun You told everything he knew about Tian Chou.

After Guo Jia heard this, he immediately clicked his tongue and said in amazement: "There are so many capable people in the world, and this Tianchou has successfully attracted my attention."

"Such a strange person, I'm afraid it's not easy to recruit. Sir, what do you think?" Xi Zhicai looked at Lu Yan, wanting to see how sure Lu Yan was.

Lu Yan took a look at Xun You and the others, then looked at Lao Cao, and said, "Don't worry, when have I ever failed? The old man is the best at recruiting talents!"

"After all, the charisma value is almost full." Of course, it's hard for Lu Yan to say this.

Everyone thought for a moment, "That's right, Lu Hussar made a move, it's rare for a talent not to act."

Now that the final problem is almost solved, the next step is to send troops according to the plan.

After thinking for a while, Cao Cao ordered: "Gongda, I want you to secretly lead [-] suspects with Xu Chu, and under the banner of Mr. Lu and me, lead the suspects all the way along the Binhai Road. Remember, you must not engage in battle with the enemy!"

Xun You cupped his hands and said, "Here!" Cao Cao finally avoided Xi Zhicai and Guo Jia, and he was unwilling to take even the slightest risk for one of the two people he relied on most.

Cao Cao turned to Guo Jia and Xi Zhicai again, and said, "Mr. Lu will follow me to send troops to Liucheng, and then Youzhou will be entrusted to Zhicai and Fengxiao."

Xi Zhi has the experience of governing, and he has Guo Jia to assist him, so he replied without any hesitation: "The subordinates will calm down the various ministries in Youzhou as soon as possible, and guard the rear for the lord!"

"If there is any change in Xianbei, you can ask Jihou (Lu Bu) for help." Lu Yan suddenly suggested.

Xi Zhicai smiled and said, "Mr. reminded me!"

Guo Jia suddenly complained, "My father-in-law, you don't need to use it for nothing."

Lu Yan didn't bother to talk to Guo Jia anymore. He said to Cao Cao: "Take all the cavalry, you must know that if you don't die when you beat a snake, you will suffer from it. This time we must complete our merits in one battle and do everything in one fell swoop!"

Cao Cao laughed, stretched out the back of his hand and said, "Listen to Mr. Lu, go down in the first battle and slaughter Wuhuan! (And then there are Xiongnu, Xianbei, Jie, Qiang, and Di)"

"In one battle, Wuhuan will be slaughtered!" Guo Jia and others also stretched out their hands and put them on the back of Cao Cao's hands.

Helpless, Lu Yan had no choice but to put his hand up, "Fight down and kill Wuhuan!"

"drive!"

"Drive! Drive!"

Cao Jun and his party consisted of [-] dragon cavalry battalions, [-] wolf cavalry battalions, [-] tiger and leopard cavalry battalions, and [-] Xiao cavalry battalions.

Since the previous battle has not yet supplemented the establishment, there are only less than [-] cavalry for the time being.

Cao Cao listened to Lu Yan's advice, and his troops were swift, and he left all his luggage and only carried rations with him, and led the light cavalry to advance lightly.

With the cavalry marching at full speed, they arrived at Xu Wushan very quickly.

It is midsummer now, and the sun was still scorching a few days ago,

this morning,

The sky suddenly turned dark.

"clatter!"

Lu Yan stretched out his hand to catch a bean-sized raindrop that fell from the sky.

"It's raining!"

Lu Yan said to Cao Cao: "There should be a city in front of us. We must rush to it as soon as possible. Otherwise, people will easily get sick if we go on the road after getting wet."

Cao Cao ordered after hearing the words: "Send it down, speed up!"

"Accelerate! Accelerate!"
