Three Kingdoms: Cao Ying's mastermind, from nine to five

Chapter 191 Chilling! !I'm the one to blame!

"Now tell me why Yuan Shao can win on the right path after sending troops, and I can succeed in a surprise attack from the east. Why do I have to wait for Xu Zhen to spread the battle report of Wen Chou's beheading before I am willing to send troops?"

Cao Cao asked questions one after another, meaning to test the school.

He wanted to test Cao Ren's real vision now. What he was worried about was that Cao Ren already had the quality of a general and marching, but Cao Cao still wanted to know whether he had an overall vision.

Cao Ren said with a smile: "After Bowen captured Yanjin, he could march into the rear of Yuan Shao's army at any time during the battle. No matter whether we took advantage of this, someone under Yuan Shao's command would always be worried and must be distracted on the right side. In fact, Berwen will never come."

"On the frontal battlefield, once there is a surprise attack by Zihe on the west side, it will also affect Yuan Jun's mind, thinking that Bowen on the east side will also appear, so the army's morale is in chaos."

Cao Ren was also talking, and suddenly became enlightened. He didn't think so much at first, but now that he thinks about it carefully, it seems that this is indeed the case. If there are no soldiers and horses on the left and right sides, then naturally there will be no riots. It turns out that the west side, knowing that they will be ambushed, still advocates a surprise attack. This is where the real genius lies!
"understood."

"Thank you, my lord, for teaching me."

"Hehe, hehe..." Cao Cao patted him on the shoulder, and the more he looked at him, the more he liked him. Cao Ren was eager to learn and practice, and this character was more and more similar to Bo Wen. In the future, he will be second to none among the clan generals in the Cao family. .

Cao Ren put a robe on Cao Cao, helped him up, walked around the tent, waited for a while to calm down, and then asked, "Brother, what should we do now?"

At this time, the army is still waiting in full battle, but if he wants to march, he may seize the opportunity and counterattack.

"Hmm..." Cao Cao's mouth turned down, he looked at Cao Ren seriously and said, "I'll test you again. If you are the commander of the three armies, what should you do now?"

"Let me tell you first that if Bowen is here, he should still stand still and keep training troops to approach, so that the three armies will move in an orderly manner."

Cao Cao knew Xu Zhen well. Victory is not just a result of one battle. What Xu Zhen likes most is to rely on victory to expand the results of the battle, including his own military spirit, and suppress the enemy's military spirit.

This is Xu Zhen's good strategy, and this kind of march actually benefits from the fact that he has a large number of elite soldiers and good generals. He does not win by numbers. As for Yuan Shao's use of troops, there are actually merits. Destroy and make good use of your advantages to overwhelm others.

Cao Ren thought for a moment, and said: "Now we should wait and see what happens, advance slowly, first occupy the main roads in the plain, and then survey the terrain and approach Yuan Shao's camp. Exhausted in strategy, constantly deploying troops to defend, but reluctant to withdraw, wait for the opportunity to move when Yuan Shao's formation is in disarray."

"The last general believes that although he won this battle, he cannot defeat Yuan Shao's army. His central army can still gather and will not be scattered and flee, because the food and grass are still there. If Yuan Shao's food and grass can be burned, his army will surely retreat. In this way, from Guandu to Liyang, it will be a smooth road, and if our army stops, we can actually wait for the hidden disease to break out in Yuan Shao's rear, and his Youzhou has not yet been calmed down."

"Um……"

Cao Cao was noncommittal, but just thought about it for a while, recalling the several marching strategies that Cao Ren just said, they were actually very solid. After thinking about it, the corners of his mouth raised, nodded and said, "Yes, this is the way to fight steadily. Food and grass are the most important. Yuan Shao still has food and grass, so the soldiers and horses will not disperse, those soldiers who fled will return to the camp, and the generals of all departments are still there."

"Although Bowen told me long ago that when Yuan Shao sent troops, food and grass must be stored in Wuchao, but we still have to wait. Just follow what you said, advance the troops and horses first, and expand the results of the battle."

"Not only that, I also want to write a letter and show it to Yuan Shao."

"Humph."

Cao Cao folded his hands in his sleeves and sat like a rich man, laughing foolishly.

Five years ago, he never imagined that one day he would be able to defeat Yuan Shao with ease.

Naturally, most of the famous generals under his command are Yuan Shao, but if we really want to talk about ability, I am afraid that the people in the world have already made judgments.

……

That night, after Cao Cao finished writing a letter with hundreds of words, he sent a sentry post to Yuan Shao. The two armies had just engaged in battle, so it was difficult for the envoy to pass, so the letter was to send cavalry close to the sentry post of Yuan Jun's camp. Then shoot it a hundred steps away, and wait for someone to pick it up before leaving.

But to say that Yuan Shao is worthy of being the hero of the land of the four states, even if he suffered a big defeat, the barracks are still in order, the guards are heavily guarded and people are not allowed to come in and out at will. After the letter, immediately ran to deliver it.

Yuan Shao just woke up from a nightmare at night, sweating profusely. After the big defeat, he was carried back to the bed in the main tent. He was short of breath and fell ill immediately, with chest tightness, dizziness, and even coughing all the time. Feeling slightly weak, the energy in his body seems to be hollowed out...

After waking up, I broke out in a sweat, and now I still feel my body is slightly hot, so I got the letter and put it on the copybook. When I came to report this letter, several military advisers including Jushou, Guo Tu, and Xu You in the main account They are not there, as Tian Feng, Xin Ping and others are not in the main battle, so they are not brought at all.

So the letter was placed on the case, and Yuan Shao could not read it in principle, for fear that he would be bruised after reading it, and maybe he would be out of breath and out of breath for a whole day.

"My lord, it's better not to read this letter..."

Xu You bowed his hands, it was fine if he didn't speak, Yuan Shao immediately glared at him when he spoke, rubbed his head and sat up, his face extremely ugly, including soldiers and horses who have not returned to the battalion today, a total of 7 people were lost!
Yuan Shao didn't know why the Chinese army was defeated so quickly!Ever since Cao Chun came out, everything was in chaos. The situation on the battlefield changed rapidly, and it was impossible to regret it. At that time, Yuan Shao was so anxious that he wanted to cry without tears.

It was only after I came back that I heard that Xu You had been spreading the mood of being ambushed in the rear, making the lieutenant uneasy, so Cao Chunyi made a surprise attack. Everyone thought that there must be Xu Bowen on the right path, after all, he had already occupied Yanjin. And defeated Wen Chou's soldiers and horses, and fled to the frontal battlefield.

But in the end, the east side was empty, there was no one within thirty miles, Xu Bowen didn't come at all, the army dared not retreat to the east, and for no reason tens of thousands of people rushed to meet them on the road in a panic.

"Noisy."

Yuan Shao snorted sullenly, causing Xu You to be silent, and took half a step back.

The rest of the people also looked at each other, not daring to say more. It is obvious that although the lord is awake now, he is still in a state of irritability, it is best not to provoke him.

The silent main tent was a bit embarrassing, both civil and military were silent, and each of them looked mournful, which was two extremes from the laughter and laughter of Cao Ying.

After sitting for a while, Yuan Shao didn't want to talk, so he picked up the letter on the copybook to read.

Just glanced at it, and fell to the ground with a snap.

"Cao A lied to me too much!!!"

Xu You immediately leaned back, although he didn't dare to speak, but the expression couldn't be more obvious.

Tell you not to listen, but at this time he wrote a letter to show off today's victory, but also to ridicule the incompetence of Jizhou's soldiers and horses. When the generals are added together, the bearing when commanding is no match for Cao Zixiao.

Just look at it, feel comfortable now?
"Cao A lie! Cao A lie!!"

Yuan Shao was so angry that he jumped up and down, walked up and down on the couch with his hands behind his back, then jumped down and squatted on the ground to pick up the letter, for fear that he might read the letter wrongly, even the beard on his sideburns trembled when he read it for the second time. Another fall!
"Alas! Cao Aman! This person is treacherous and cunning, he is extremely dirty!! He, him!"

Subconsciously, Yuan Shao wanted to talk to Xu You, but he couldn't open his mouth. After sighing a few more times, he became even more annoyed with his hands behind his back, and his face flushed with sullen anger.

Cao Cao said in the letter that the army is not as good as his family members. If he is worried that the Yuan family will be destroyed in the future, he can send his wife and concubines to Xudu. Cao Cao will treat each other like Zhang Ji's widow.

Yuan Shao is not angry at these words, among his wives, there are people from the Yang family, and there are also daughters from the Jizhou rich family. It's better for people to spy on other people's brides. Every time they see them, they have to talk about it. Who knows that this bastard can talk about himself today, and he doesn't grow up at all!
How old are you!You are now the prime minister, and I am also the general!How can you say that at your age! !

Thinking of this, Yuan Shao went to read the letter again, and when he saw the last glance, he suddenly froze, and stared at Xu You for a moment, staring at him straight in the eye.

Xu You must have been stunned too, "My lord, what's the difference? Why do you look down on me like this?"

"In Cao Cao's letter, he also greeted you, Xu Ziyuan, and missed the love of classmates!"

Xu You's expression changed drastically, and he immediately wanted to take a stride to grab it, but Yuan Shao put it away, making him stunned halfway through, and immediately cupped his hands and said: "I have been classmates with him for three years! There is no friendship at all. And at that time, what I heard was Cai Yong, Lu Shi and other halls, with hundreds of people in one school, it was nothing, it was definitely not the friendship of waiting to sleep! This is Cao Cao's alienation! He tried in vain to make the lord withdraw from his military post. "

"It shouldn't be," Guo Tu, who had been silent all this time, suddenly touched his chin and thought, "What are you doing besides your military position? Didn't you spread the word in the army today to shake the morale of the army, leading to a big defeat? Learn with one step, Cao Cao I should wish you could be the strategist's mastermind, how can you be the opponent of Cao Ying's counselors?"

"The battle of Yanjin, Baima, and Guandu, and the strategies of Xu Zhen, Guo Jia, and Xun You, which one of you guessed correctly? Aren't they all being led by the nose?"

"Tsk."

Xu You stood up straight, suddenly feeling powerless, and looked at Guo Tu in a daze.

Guo Tu was wearing a Khmer hat, with a slender and intact beard, chic and elegant, with a smile on his face, but this smile made Xu You feel chilly.

The lips are dead and the teeth are cold, you came out at this time and suddenly said that, it is enough to make me fall into the bottomless abyss!
"It shows that Cao Cao is really grateful to you. Naturally, I don't think he would be so obvious. Cao Cao is not stupid, and the lord is also a wise master. A letter is not enough to explain anything. I wouldn't be so eager to get rid of it. It seems that the lord is in a daze, but as a military adviser, you are praised and remembered by the enemy lord... This is probably more insulting than cursing at you."

"You—" Xu You was really anxious, his old face flushed red, he was twirling his beard and thinking, but he almost pulled out his beard after hearing Guo Tu's words, and immediately explained: "This is a divorce, the purpose is to make the lord feel good about me. If there is a quarrel, there is no need to dismiss me, as long as he hesitates in his heart when he listens to the policy, he will always be difficult to make a decision. He not only wants to ridicule and ridicule me, but also messes with my internal affairs and provokes troubles, my lord must not be trusted!"

"Humph!"

Yuan Shao's face was cold. After today's defeat, he didn't want to use Xu You anymore, but due to his previous achievements and the friendship between the two of them for so many years, he couldn't say anything. This letter happened to be used to talk about things. , took the opportunity to let Xu You retreat to the logistics, no longer offer advice and orders, and he had to come in person if he really wanted to fight.

Seeing his master's majestic expression, Xu You immediately understood what he was thinking, and hurriedly cupped his hands and said, "My lord! If you are willing to listen to me today, don't worry about whether to raid or not, and deploy [-] troops on the roads on the left and right first." However, if you block the attack, you can attack again in an orderly manner, and the outcome is unknown, but the generals never obeyed, so why blame me for alarmist talk?"

"presumptuous!"

"From my point of view, I'm afraid you are a military advisor, and you secretly communicated with Cao Cao!"

"It's better to avoid suspicion. Since there are three years of classmate friendship, how can I be convinced? Today's defeat is definitely because of this!"

"That's right! No wonder, our army is so powerful, we have never been defeated so badly, but today we lost to Cao Jun. I am afraid that the military division is to blame."

Xu You listened to the speeches of the whole room, met countless cold eyes, and stepped back a few steps, as if knocked down by an invisible heavy hammer, looking around in disbelief.

I understand, this, this is for me to take the blame and use the name of disposing of me to boost the morale of the entire army, otherwise the morale of the entire army may not be able to recover from the decline.

"Ha ha ha ha!"

Xu You immediately laughed at himself. After he understood this verse, everything became clear when he looked at Yuan Shao's expression. He cupped his hands and said to Yuan Shao, "Since this is the case, I shall be punished. I don't know how my lord will deal with it?"

Guo Tu squinted his eyes, stepped forward and bowed deeply, and said to Yuan Shao: "My lord, I have reported that Xu You's nephew was corrupt and broke the law. He once embezzled more than [-] gold. There are evidences in the accounts, and many of his relatives have commitments." Hui, the disciples are not clean, maybe there is indeed suspicion of secret communication in this expedition, and our army was defeated. However, if Xu You is dismissed this time, there are still hundreds of thousands of elite soldiers who can follow loyally, and the outcome is yet to be seen. We can see."

"Well," Yuan Shao nodded approvingly, "That's right, Ziyuan... I have treated you well, but you secretly acted like this, allowing your family members to embezzle the money and food of the Mo army. This crime should be punished with death to thank the soldiers and people of Jizhou, but Thinking of your hard work these years, when you were in Youzhou, you defeated Gongsun Zan's army frequently, and you were dismissed from the post of marching commander, reduced to a meritorious officer, and recorded rewards and punishments."

"This position is held by Feng Ji."

Yuan Shao glanced at him, with a look of great righteousness and concealment of kindness, as if he was urging Xu You to thank him quickly.
