Rebirth of the Three Kingdoms: The New Biography of Guan Ping

Chapter 37 Tarzan Thief

Twenty days later, when Guan Ping saw Cao Cao again, he had lost the vigor of the day.look
Twenty years ago, although he was ugly, he was full of vigor and vitality, that domineering look at the world and pointing at the world. Although restrained, he still leaked it from time to time, making tens of thousands of soldiers believe: Picheng, the prime minister can destroy it with a flick of a finger.

But now, he is still ugly, but the worry between his eyebrows makes him seem a few years older. Cao Cao, who is only 43 years old, has a few white lines in his unkempt beard, and his hair is as messy as weeds. With a thin body and not gorgeous clothes, he looks like an old farmer in the mountains.

At this time, he was sitting on the couch, staring at the general below. [

Liu, Guan, and Zhang in the north, Zhang Liao, and Guan Ping in the south, brothers Xia Houdun and Yuan in the west, and Cao Ren, Hong, Le Jin, and Li Dian who followed him.

Cao Cao's gaze swept across the crowd, but he didn't speak. His small eyes shone with an indescribable light; and from that gaze, Guan Ping knew that Cao Cao was not afraid, but worried.

Only those who are deeply worried about the future will try their best to plan for the future.People who are not afraid of death and failure generally die early and hardly achieve great things.

Only those who are deeply worried about the future and persevere tremblingly will become the final winners.From this point of view, Guan Ping is very similar to Cao Cao.

"Zang Ba, the bandit chieftain of Mount Tai, Sun Guan and others led [-] bandit soldiers to rescue Lu Bu. They have already arrived in Zheng State and will arrive in a few days. With the emperor's salary, you all give me some ideas." Cao Cao said slowly. Open your mouth.

"My lord, I would like to lead the troops to resist him and destroy him in the East China Sea. I will definitely not let him enter Xiapi County without a single soldier."

The one who spoke was Xia Houyuan, who was about forty years old. He seemed to be always steady, and he was especially relied on by Cao Cao.

Although this man was brave, he was not cunning, which also led to the tragedy that he was later beheaded by Huang Zhong.

"Miaocai, let me ask you, what kind of situation are you most afraid of when the city is besieged and your allies come to rescue?" Cao Cao frowned slightly.

Xia Houyuan thought for a while, and replied: "The most fear is that the inside should cooperate with the outside, and our army will be attacked by the enemy."

"Then you lead troops to attack. If Lu Bu leads iron cavalry to attack your back while you are fighting Zang Ba's army, how will you respond? I can't stop Lu Bu's cavalry."

"This..." Xia Houyuan was at a loss for words.

This is true for Cao Cao. What Lu Bu is to Cao Cao is that his cavalry is many times stronger than Cao Cao.

When Cao Cao first led troops to attack Xuzhou, Chen Gong's plan for Lu Bu was to let Chen Gong personally guard the city, while Lu Bu led the elite cavalry to station outside the city, and then crossed between Huai and Si, intercepting Cao Cao's attack from behind. food road.

And if Cao Cao attacked the city with all his strength, Lu Bu would lead his army to stab a knife in the back.In less than a month, Cao Cao's food supply will be exhausted, so he will definitely retreat. At that time, Lu Bu will lead the army to charge on the plain with cavalry, who can stop him?

What a clever strategy this was, making full use of Lu Bu's cavalry maneuvering advantage and Cao Cao's weakness of coming from afar and the food roads being easily broken.

But the facts have once again proved that a person's failure or success is by no means accidental.
