Chapter 971 Xun Yu's Foresight
"After Ma Mengqi dispatched troops to Kanto, he defeated the [-] high-ranking army in the first battle?" Cao Cao threw the newly obtained battle report on the case, making the Fufeng paper, which was neither thick nor thin, emit a crisp "crack" 'Voice.Carelessly squatting on the ground, stretching his legs and feet, reaching into his arms to scratch the itchy underarms.This unrefined behavior made Xun Yu, who was sitting opposite him, raise his eyebrows.

After the work in Xudu was over, Xun Yu was transferred to Guandu.Major affairs in the palace are decided by His Majesty.Xun Yu couldn't guess what kind of agreement Cao Cao and His Majesty had reached.But he can see clearly that Cao Cao cannot do without the banner of the emperor.And the world cannot do without Cao's current most powerful body protection.

In the past two months, Cao Cao and Yuan Shao, who were facing off at Guandu, each launched several tentative offensives, but neither of them took advantage of it.As soon as Ma Chao left the Kanto, he broke the siege of the Cao family on the west front. Such a trusted ally naturally made Cao Cao feel much better.

"I never would have imagined that a person with outstanding civil and military skills like Gao Gan would have a cold-hearted adviser to plan for him. It's unbelievable that Ma Mengqi, a world-class hero, can't even survive a single match. "Cao Cao lost his mind and tutted, his eyes never leaving the battle report on the case, just like a child seeing a favorite toy.As he spoke, he salivated and picked up the battle report again and read it over and over again.

Xun Yu finally couldn't bear it any longer: "Duke Ming, sit on the donkey..."

"This is before the battle. Wen Ruo doesn't need to be so rigid about etiquette." Cao Cao waved his hand, as if suddenly a little distracted, and muttered to himself: "From this point of view, our army's strategy seems to have to be adjusted in advance. Yes. Although Ang'er brought back the letter of alliance with the Ma family, I never imagined that Ma Mengqi would be so heroic, and he immediately attracted Yuan Shao's attention."

Xun Yu sat quietly opposite, seeing that Cao Cao's mind had been put on serious business, and he no longer cared about Cao Cao's debauchery and lawlessness, and asked unhurriedly: "My lord, since this is the case, are you planning to sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight? Advocating the use of troops against Yuan Shao?"

"That's right." Cao Cao restrained his playful smile when he heard the words, and nodded, "Ma Chao is very talented, and he is too overqualified to deal with Yuan Shao. Although it seems that Yuan Shao still sent troops to Guandu, he was defeated on the western front." Once the matter reaches Yuan Shao's ears, with Yuan Shao's supercilious temperament, he will definitely compete with Ma Meng. What's even more gratifying is that Yuan Shao never really regarded me as his opponent. This way, it will be more convenient for our army to act gone."

"Duke Ming is right, but although Liu Xuande is petty, he has a lot of tricks. Xuzhou has been under Liu Bei's rule for more than a year. Liu Bei must have regained people's hearts long ago. Moreover, Duke Ming had to slaughter Xuzhou back then, and the people of Xuzhou have already made people in Xuzhou treat Duke Ming well. How apprehensive. Sending troops to Xuzhou like this may not be so easy."

But Cao Cao didn't take it seriously, he waved his hand and said, "No one said that I was going to attack Xuzhou, and Ma Mengqi restrained Yuan Shao's main force. But Yuan Tan in Qingzhou was already ready to make a move against a certain family. Now that the alliance letter is in hand, let's turn around and attack Yuan Shao Tan, also does not violate the alliance between the two families."

"Duke Ming said to build plank roads in the open and cross Chencang secretly?" Xun Yu couldn't help stroking his beard when he heard the words, but he frowned randomly and said, "Even so, Duke Ming wants to fight against Yuan Tan and Liu Bei. grasp?"

"Yuan Tan is strong and middle-class, and his nature is just right to kill. He is very different from his father. It only takes a few rounds of feigning defeat, and he will be overjoyed and captured in one battle. At that time, Liu Bei will be caught by surprise when he suddenly descends to Xuzhou with this power. At least, Yuan Shu's tomb Although the dry bones are a piece of shit, the 20 troops under him can completely attract Liu Bei's main force to the southern line. A certain class will come down from the northern line and take Xuzhou like a bag!"

"Duke Ming mentioned Yuan Shu at this time, but Duke Ming's previous deployment has achieved results?" Xun Yu's face was as dark as water. Sort out all the omissions in the plan, and lay the foundation for Cao Cao's success in every step in advance.

"However, Yuan Shu has coveted Xuzhou for a long time. I heard that a certain person is willing to form an alliance with him in secret to attack Yuan Shao, and has already secretly sent twenty shi of military rations. The purpose is naturally to let me and Yuan Shao fight in Guandu for a long time, but I don't want it. Come to the Ma family to send troops to the Guandong. In this way, twenty shi of the army rations will be used to attack Xuzhou!"

"Yuan Shu has a small mind. If he knew what his lord was doing, how could he not make a big move? Although Ma Mengqi is a genius, if he suddenly stopped fighting with Yuan Shao, wouldn't Duke Ming fall into a situation where the north and the south will be attacked?"

"Wen Ruo," Cao Cao pondered for a while, his face became more serious, and he stroked his beard and said, "Do you think Ma Mengqi was really attracted by Cao's covenant? Ma Mengqi's ambition to dominate the world is well known , His military authority is incomparable. He sent troops to Guandong for the sake of the world. It seems that the Cao family used him, but at the same time, why didn't he use the Cao family?"

After a pause, Cao Cao sighed again: "How can a person who plots the world suddenly stop fighting in the middle of a battle? Don't talk about Yuan Shao's arrogant temperament. If Yuan Shao really pulled his face, Ma Mengqi would give up Jizhou Plump land?"

Xun Yu shook his head upon hearing this.Immediately, his face became a little ugly, and he said, "Ming Gong, although the Cao family and the Ma family reunited, it seems that Ma Mengqi does not want to completely break away from the Han family and become king on his own. But the more this is the case, the more terrifying it is. .”

"Ma Chao has always had the ambition to spy on the world. The New Deal and other reforms he created are sweeping the Han world with an irreversible trend. After Yuan Shao is cut off, his next target must be Ming Gong. Besides, from the overall situation , the Great Han has been united for many years, and the territory has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Ma Chao is not yet the year of the weak crown, but it is the autumn of annexation. Troubled times cannot exist for a long time. The so-called long-term division must be united. It is imperative to decide who is the real master of the great man.

After a pause, Xun Yu said again: "Ma Chao is so strong that everyone in the country is famous and fearful. Minggong must make preparations early."

Cao Cao nodded silently.

Since the rise of the Ma family, the speed of expansion has been astonishing. Under Ma Chao's internal and external cultivation, he has combined vertically and horizontally and used all methods.After several bloody and brave fights, Ten Tianxia has already occupied three points. This time, Yuan Shao's probing led to Ma Mengqi's 40 army, becoming the most powerful man in the world.

An army of 40, what kind of concept is this number?

If these soldiers are arranged in a phalanx, they will need a radius of more than ten miles; if they are arranged in a marching line half a mile wide, then the line can be lined up from Xingyang to Luoyang!
Every time Cao Cao thought of this, he was both envious and worried. On the other hand, he began to rebel against Dong Zhuo with his righteous troops, and now he has finally secured his seat in Yanzhou.However, years of wars have caused the states and counties to be destroyed, and four out of ten people have died. Although there are more than 30 soldiers on hand, every time troops are dispatched, the supply of food and grass is a big problem.Compared with the giant Ma Chao, it is like a small ant at the feet of a giant elephant.

Therefore, Cao Cao did everything possible to provoke a battle between Ma Chao and Yuan Shao.They just want to benefit from the fisherman and annex Xu and Yu states as soon as possible, so as to compete with the two states.However, although the wise plan is good, the process is extremely difficult, and the hardships and worries in the process are overwhelming for the individual.

"My life is up to me. The Cao family has the momentum it has today. I, Cao Cao, will definitely not give up easily." After all, Cao Cao is a hero. Under Xun Yu's reminder, instead of being disheartened, he stood up to fight Come, open your arms: "I am the intelligence of the world, and I will control it with the Tao, and I can do anything!"
