Chapter 863 Cao Cao's Gambling

"More than [-] died, more than [-] were injured, and more than [-] escaped..." Cao Cao read the information in his hand leisurely, couldn't help but smile, turned to Xun Yu and Cheng Yu and said: " Wen Ruo, Zhong De, tell me, Yuan Benchu's Hebei Sitingzhu, are they all just at this level?"

"Perhaps." Xun Yu looked at the battle report in his hand, and he, who has always been rigorous and upright, couldn't help laughing at this moment: "However, my lord, don't take pleasure in this misfortune. Yan Liang and Wen Chou are both generals of tigers and wolves. , charge into battle, destroy the enemy and decapitate the vanguard, but he is brave and intrepid, and is useless. However, Zhang Junyi is brave and knowledgeable, and has a reputation. Presumably at this time, he has seen through the lord's plan to kill with a knife. If the minister is not bad, After a while, Zhang Zhe and Yan Liang will come to invite the lord to help in the battle."

"It's only natural," Cao Cao put down the battle report in his hand, suppressed the smile on his face, and said, "Sure enough, Lü Bu always makes surprises. Under the circumstances of running out of oil, internal fatigue and external troubles, he still resorted to clever tricks to kill Wen Chou. As a result, Yuan Shao's [-] troops killed more than [-] people in one night. Even if I personally went to the battlefield, my life would hang by a thread..."

"Could it be that the lord is afraid?!" Cheng Yu has always spoken arrogantly, and this is not the first time that he has said such disrespectful words.

However, Cao Cao seemed to have gotten used to Cheng Yu's way of speaking, and he was not even half annoyed by it. Instead, he nodded and said, "If you're not afraid, it's a lie. At the moment when the unparalleled God of War, the Great Halberd, was in the air, Cao really thought that I will never see the sun of tomorrow again. If it wasn't for the jade ring that Jieer gave me at that time..."

"Ming Gong, the battle report says that Lv Bu threw fire oil and rocks today, and also shot a lot of arrows... Moreover, when he set off for the expedition, Lv Bu actually brought five hundred of the most elite Bingzhou wolf riders with him." Cheng Yu beat After breaking Cao Cao's memory, he was immersed in his own thoughts, and then he suddenly looked at Cao Cao and said, "Ming Gong doesn't think this is the harbinger of breaking the boat?"

"Oh?" Cao Cao was taken aback for a moment, he couldn't care less about annoying Cheng Yu and angering him again.In fact, every time before Cao Cao was about to get angry, Cheng Yu could always say something important to divert Cao Cao's attention immediately.This time, of course, is no exception.

Sure enough, after reading the battle report, Cao Cao frowned slightly.However, based on these few vague phenomena, Cao Cao still couldn't conclude whether Cheng Yu's judgment was accurate. While pondering, he suddenly asked a very strange question: "Xia Houyuan, Yu Jin, how is the battle going?"

"My lord, General Xiahou attacked Waihuang in Chenliu County by surprise the day before yesterday, and General Yujin also sent troops into Fugou County. In addition, General Cao Ren still sent [-] troops to fight to the death in Yongqiu. Under such three-sided attack, it must be possible to attack Zhizhi today. So Chenliu, capture Zhang Miao alive!" Xun Yu picked up another battle report in his hand, and described the battle situation in Chenliu County concisely.

"Capture Zhang Miao alive?" Cao Cao sneered while stroking his short beard after hearing the words.The two long and narrow eyes unnaturally revealed some real murderous intent from the corner of their eyes.

Seeing this, Xun Yu was about to step forward to persuade him, but Cao Cao waved his hand at this moment, and said, "Wen Ruo needless to say, I know that Zhang Miao can't be killed for the time being, so let's capture him alive..."

"Not only do we want to capture him alive, but my lord also encourages and caresses Zhang Miao!" Cheng Yu spoke very bluntly, but he definitely hit the nail on the head: In the current situation, after Cao Cao led Yuan Shao to send troops, he did take the initiative.But if Cao Cao still wants to manage and consolidate Yanzhou, then Zhang Miao must not be killed. Not only that, Cao Cao has to show a magnanimity of letting go of the past, and use Zhang Miao as a model to appease the hearts of those powerful gentry in Yanzhou!

However, Cheng Yu was right this time as always.But today, he teased Cao Cao again and again, which has already aroused Cao Cao's real anger. Cao Cao suddenly turned his head to look at Cheng Yu, and said with a gloomy expression, "After Ping Lu Bu and the establishment of Yanzhou, Zhang Miao's dog's life, is it right?" Can I, Cao Mengde, kill or take away?!"

"This is natural. If Mr. Cao is interested, I heard that Zhang Miao's fourth concubine is as beautiful as a flower..." Cheng Yu's face remained unchanged, and he said these words calmly, as if he was talking about tomorrow's weather with Cao Cao. .

After Cao Cao fixed his eyes on Cheng Yu, he turned his face and smiled, patted Cheng Yu's back and said, "Zhongde, you really are a wonderful person. It's really lucky for Cao to get Zhongde." !"

Xun Yu, who was at the side, witnessed the conversation between Cao Cao and Cheng Yu, and his expression turned cold.But at the same time, he also knows that in troubled times, only a true traitor like Cao Cao who is daring to be the first can sweep the world and realize his grand ambition.It's just, this kind of lust for beauty and forbearance and bloodthirsty, don't you know? ...

Just when Xun Yu was thinking about running away, there was a sudden sound of hurried footsteps outside the tent. After hearing the sound, Xun Yu exchanged glances with Cao Cao and Cheng Yu, and the three of them understood one meaning at the same time: help is coming. !
Sure enough, when the tent door was lifted, Yan Liangqi with a resolute face and Yan Liangqi stepped in, bowed his hands and said, "Greetings, Mr. Cao!"

"Don't be too polite," said Cao Cao, who was already in the right position, and then waved his hand: "Don't be too polite. Tomorrow, Cao Cao and the two generals will work together to break through Puyang City. To repay Duke Yuan's great kindness!"

Seeing this, Zhang Jai and Yan Liang couldn't help but be surprised, but then they bowed and saluted: "Thank you Mr. Cao, I will retire at the end!"

He came in a hurry and left without saying a word.This kind of process made Zhang Jaw very appreciative - as a general, he only needs to follow orders like this, and act vigorously and resolutely.

Sure enough, he glanced at Yan Liang again, and Yan Liang, who couldn't help but speak, said, "Although Cao Cao is arrogant, he has won many battles with his military determination. Think about the noisy counselors and ministers when we sent troops into Dongjun. ,Why……"

Zhang Jaw was speechless, for this, he was also helpless and irritated, but he and Yan Liang showed a look of "sympathy for each other", and then they returned their accounts and prepared for the general attack tomorrow.

But these two people didn't know that just after they left, Xun Yu and Cheng Yu had a rare quarrel in Cao Cao's camp.

"It must not be done. Zhang Miao has not been defeated, and the hearts of the people are not yet united. If you send troops in such a haste, if Lu Bu is cornered and the beast will fight, our army will suffer a great loss!" This is Xun Yu's voice. Although the tone is not loud, the firmness in it is beyond doubt. of.

"The hearts and minds of Yanzhou are all in Puyang. Now that Lu Bu is gone, Chen Liu can go down in one go! Wen Ruo doesn't want the kindness of a woman. Although there will be heavy casualties tomorrow, Lu Bu will have to put all his eggs in one basket. We are sure to win. Sacrificing a few soldiers in exchange for my lord's return to Yanzhou as soon as possible, the gain outweighs the loss!" Cheng Yu's words are also very reasonable.

In fact, what the two of them said has always been correct.Just like Yuan Shao's famous scholars and strategists, they are all farsighted.However, this is the case, and the critical choice of trade-offs has become the key to testing their leadership ability.

Obviously, Cao Cao has made a choice since then.Therefore, he didn't need to explain more this time. What he did at this time was to lean slightly towards Xun Yu and ask, "Wen Ruo, what hidden secrets are there that make you worry?"

Xun Yu glanced at Cao Cao with a complicated expression, and once again believed in his idea of ​​choosing Cao Cao as the hero. However, after turning his eyes, he still said erratically: "It has been more than half a month since Ma Chao entered Xuzhou. Presumably at this time, he should I'm back..."

"Hmm..." Cao Cao took a deep breath, and his expression changed: "I was indeed negligent about this matter. Ma Chao's ability is ten times better than that of Lu Bu. When he enters Xuzhou this time, he will definitely attract Liu Bei's army. And he is cunning Ruhu, a surprise attack with troops is still better than a wonderful talent, if you just come back tomorrow..."

"So..." Xun Yu listened to Cao Cao's intentions, and stepped forward to persuade Cao Cao to destroy Chenliu County first, and then stay out of the matter, and seek development after watching Ma Chao and Yuan Shao compete.

However, Cao Cao raised his hand to stop Xun Yu this time, and said coldly: "So, this time is a gamble! If I win, I, Cao Mengde, will be able to take over Yanzhou like a broken bamboo. If I lose, I will directly provoke the Ma family." The giant crocodile... However, I, Cao Mengde, never refuse to gamble, so I sent an order to the whole army to inform Zhang Jai and Yan Liang that we will surprise Puyang tonight, without stopping!"
