Chapter 555 The Art of War
...

Cheng Yu took the letter with some confusion. Before he checked the contents of the envelope, he saw the words written on the envelope.

"Is it disrespectful to come and go without reciprocating?" Cheng Yu looked at the words on it and the name behind it, and said in confusion, "The law is upright, the law is filial and upright?!"

Cheng Yu looked puzzled, who is this?Never heard of it.

"My good friend's apprentice is a very powerful young man." A smile appeared on Xi Zhong's face.

Cheng Yu was still somewhat interested in such a person, so he thought for a moment and said, "Send gifts first, and then visit?"

"No, he is under Liu Bei's command!" Xi Zhong shook his head and said seriously, "The spiritual talent of understanding people's hearts belongs to him!"

Cheng Yu fell silent after hearing this, then chose to open the letter, looked at the contents inside, and couldn't help but frown.

"In this case, everyone is their own master, so why should I write to you Zhicai, and write so many..." Cheng Yu looked at the content of the letter, full of confusion.

"Haha, I used Liu Bei's character as a calculation, so of course he can't do anything. Reciprocity is the norm." Xi Zhong smiled softly and said with emotion, "So he used the Lord's character as a calculation and wanted to see what I would do. .”

"What?" Cheng Yu heard that Fazheng was plotting against Cao Cao and looked at Xi Zhong with confusion, wanting to know the reason.

"My lord wants to avenge the murder of his father. Even because of my advice, Cao Bao must die. If he doesn't die, we will have no chance to evacuate Xuzhou." Xi Zhong said, his face became serious.

The longer they stay in Xuzhou, the more dangerous it will be. After all, this is not their territory.

Although during this winter, families were massacred and food and property looted, there was no food crisis.

Except for Liu Bei, there is no attack from other princes, but after the beginning of spring, other princes will not miss this good opportunity, so they cannot delay it too long.

If possible, it is best to go back before spring. Xuzhou is not a good place.

As for revenge against Tao Qian, we can postpone it later.

"But according to what this letter says, isn't it enough if we get rid of Cao Bao and then retreat?" Cheng Yu looked at the contents of the letter and seemed to be full of sincerity.

They get rid of Cao Bao first, and then they retreat with the property, which can delay the lord's revenge for killing his father.

It also allowed Liu Bei to protect Tao Qian and fulfill his moral principles without sacrificing his troops. It was a win-win situation.

At the same time, both sides do not need to lose a large number of men and horses for this, and they can both preserve their own strength, defend their territory, and avoid Yuan Shao's southward movement or Yuan Shu's northward movement.

The words written were so sincere and the reasons were sufficient that he almost believed it.

"Do you believe it?" Xi Zhong looked at Cheng Yu calmly.

Cheng Yu shook his head on the spot, and then there was a hint of gloom between his brows.

Being able to communicate your plans to the enemy openly is a kind of self-confidence.

This can no longer be called a calculation, Huanghuang is right, it is a conspiracy, what can they do if they know?

"So we must seize the time. Once things like conspiracy enter the node, it is difficult to counterattack." Xi Zhong was very calm, and then turned to look at Fu Yangcheng, thoughtfully.

"Is there any countermeasure?" Cheng Yu closed the letter in his hand, looked at Xi Zhong, and asked with some hope.

"It is naturally impossible to attack by force, but you can lure the enemy out." Xi Zhong's eyes flashed with a cold light, and he said calmly, "First mobilize 3 troops, and take advantage of the night to pretend to be careful and go to Duyang. By then, I will There are only [-] troops, and Cao Bao has twice as many troops as we do, so he naturally has the courage to fight with us. In addition, rumors can be used to encourage other noble families to exhort Cao Bao and send Cao Bao out."

If Liu Bei doesn't come, it may be difficult for Cao Bao to come out, but when Liu Bei arrives, it won't be possible if Cao Bao doesn't come out.This is the only chance and the only possible time.

"In that case, I'll prepare first!" Cheng Yu thought for a while and felt that there was no problem, so he said calmly.

"In addition to adapting the soldiers, Zhongde, you have to do one more thing." Xi Zhong looked at Cheng Yu and said seriously, "Even if Liu Bei is in the north and our army is in the south, it will be difficult to advance westward. , it’s too empty there, so if we want to withdraw our troops, we have to go through Pengcheng County. Pengcheng County has Surabaya and Weishan Lake, so we need ships!”

"Okay, get ready right away." Cheng Yu nodded after hearing this. It was about the retreat of the army and there was no room for any delay.

After speaking, Cheng Yu turned around and left, preparing to search for ships around Surabaya and Weishan Lake for the use of the army.

Looking at Cheng Yu leaving, Xi Zhong's heart suddenly jumped twice, which seemed a little abnormal.

"Is it my illusion? It's impossible. With the blessing of this talent, it's impossible for me to make a mistake in my analysis." Xi Zhong turned to look at Fu Yang and murmured to himself.

Regarding Xi Zhong's plan, Cao Cao did not refuse at all and directly agreed to the request.

Even under this order, with only [-] troops, his life is likely to be in danger.

This pretense of careful troop transfer was naturally discovered by the Xuzhou defenders in Fuyang City.

As the interim supreme commander, Cao Bao, he smiled with joy when he received the news.

When Liu Bei arrived, in order to avoid Cao Cao being attacked by two groups, he could only divide his troops into two groups to relieve his pressure.

The opponents he faced naturally did not have too many troops.

As the spokesperson of the Cao family of the Xuzhou family, Cao Bao has a strong enough network of contacts.

Relying on the ability to pay in advance and reserve in advance, Cao Bao can easily lend private soldiers from other families.

After all, Cao Cao's behavior of massacring the family completely violated the family's norms in a sense.

Relying on this reason, Cao Bao could gather his troops more easily, regardless of the eyes of others.

With more than 2 elite Danyang soldiers, plus private soldiers and slaves from major families, the number of Cao Bao's troops expanded rapidly.

In Fuyang City, the military strength continues to expand.

"The number of our troops is far greater than that of the enemy. How can we be invincible?" Cao Bao withdrew the information in his hand and said seriously, "What's more, there is a saying in the art of war: if it is doubled, attack it. Now our army is twice the enemy's." , is there any reason to be invincible?”

"General Cao is wise!!..."

"Hahaha..." Listening to the congratulations around him, Cao Bao laughed on the spot.

Although there are fewer aristocratic families around it and it seems a bit empty, it is not without its benefits.

At least he can get more quotas, even help these families complete their revenge, and gain higher reputation.

Taking advantage of this excellent opportunity, he led the army in his hands to completely defeat Cao Cao, and then relied on morality to persuade Liu Bei to retreat. He had the final say in Xuzhou, and Tao Qian could not suppress him.

Thinking of the possible bright future, Cao Bao felt more comfortable and the smile on his face became even brighter.
