Chapter 847 The Prelude to the Battle of Yanjin

The target has been determined for the time being, and the rest is the direction of retreat.On the one hand, it is heading in the direction of the white horse, on the other hand, it is heading in the opposite direction, retreating directly to the south.

"Regardless of the outcome of the Battle of the White Horse..." Cao Cao looked at the crowd, "Yuan Shao will probably receive news within the next two days that our main force has been dispatched to the White Horse, and that this side of the formation is empty. Although in fact, we did It's kind of empty."

"If we win, Yuan Shao will think that we are converging with the main force, so he will act cautiously. If we lose, then they don't need to worry, and they can slowly chase us from behind. To make them despise us and give up our guard, we must To retreat in the opposite direction, that is, to the south, or to the west..." Cao Cao explained to everyone in private.

Originally, there was no need to even explain it, just do it alone, and the effect will be better.

"Does this count as the 'history' you are familiar with?" After everyone left, Cao Cao looked at Wang Yong and asked.

"I don't know the whole story of the Battle of Guandu." Wang Yong shook his head, "That's why I chose to keep a low profile. I only know the key points of this battle, and I'm not very familiar with the rest."

"The Battle of Guandu..." Cao Cao looked at the map, "West of Yanjin, northeast of Zhongmu. If I use this strategy, then it is indeed possible for us to move towards Guandu...so the 'I' in that world , Have you used this trick before? Well, it seems that it is useless to ask you..."

"Just judging from the current situation, it is very likely to be the case. According to my speculation, it is estimated that our main force will go directly to the Battle of White Horse instead of just dividing our troops. After all, the original world did not have the Yanzhou Army, nor did it have high-yield crops." In other words, in the battle of Guandu, Yuan Shao can mobilize [-] troops, but we estimate that he can only mobilize [-] to [-] troops to fight the battle." Wang Yong thought for a while and said.

[-] vs. [-], most people probably don't even think about fighting when they see the difference in combat power.Of course, it cannot be said that there are [-] troops on the frontal battlefield. For example, Yuan Shao has [-] soldiers in Qingzhou, and it is estimated that [-] to [-] soldiers will be placed in Hanoi. Wan Zhanbing.

Cao Cao has more soldiers than in history, and can deal with more emergencies. Even if conditions permit, Liu Bei may defeat Yuan Tan, then occupy Qingzhou, and provide support for the Guandu battlefield.Even if some of them are good, they can be used as a surprise soldier and catch Yuan Shao by surprise.

"Let's not talk about that..." Cao Cao shook his head, "After tomorrow, we may flee in embarrassment for a while, which means that for a day or two, we can't even light a fire to cook. I need a batch of dry food, enough for three to five About a day."

"Understood." Wang Yong nodded, dry food has always been prepared, there is no need to deliberately prepare.What Cao Cao meant was obviously not as simple as asking him to prepare three to five days of dry food, but to prepare three to five days of dry food that tasted good.

It's better to have a little sugar, considering that there may be no way to drink afternoon tea for only three or five days.Someone who acts like a baby with him in this way is actually quite cute... Wang Yong raised the corner of his mouth slightly and walked out of the tent.

The next morning, Wang Yong handed over a bag of dry food to Cao Cao.Last night, the whole camp was in a state of panic, a smell of grease permeated the air, causing countless people to twitch their noses, poisoning them in the middle of the night, making it difficult for many soldiers to sleep.

"What is this small ball..." Cao Cao asked, taking out a cracked small ball.

"Open the jujube and pack it in one mouthful. Four to five in one meal can almost meet the daily needs." Wang Yong replied.

There are about forty open-mouthed jujubes in this pocket, which are prepared according to the amount of about three days.

"Isn't this stuff just fried dough?" Cao Cao looked at it, smelled it, and felt that it was the same thing. At most, there were some white sesame seeds sticking to the outside, and it was very fragrant after being fried.

"Probably..." Wang Yong smiled lightly, without much explanation.

"I'd like to see what's the secret behind it!" Cao Cao was curious instead. He picked up one and ate it. Naturally, he could eat it in one bite. After biting off the crispy outer skin, the inner part was soft. It's very comfortable.The aroma of sesame seeds, as well as a burst of sweetness, are even more fragrant on the teeth and cheeks.

"Is sugar added to this flour?" Cao Cao chewed on the jujube. The more he chewed, the more delicious the taste became. Especially the sweetness was really unbearable, and he wanted to eat it even after eating it.

"When mixing noodles, sugar is added to the water used." Wang Yong replied, "And when chewing, the starch in the flour will be reduced to maltose in the mouth, further enhancing the sweetness."

"Are you sure this thing is really enough for three days of dry food?" Cao Cao looked at Wang Yong when he heard this, and it is estimated that many people can finish eating it in a day or two based on the taste of jujube.

"But it is indeed a three-day quota, and I have prepared four more to go in..." Wang Yong said helplessly.If you continue to make it, it is estimated that you will not be able to carry it, forty is a big bag.

"Forget it, everyone, get ready, we're going to pull out the camp!" Cao Cao didn't bother to say anything, and gave orders directly.

Before Cao Cao pulled out the camp, he had explained before the battle that Yuan Shao's army was heading south, with thousands of cavalry and more infantry behind. The headquarters lacked horses and could not fight head-on.

This strategy was reasonable, and everyone didn't say anything, so they broke out of the camp one after another, took the dry food, and then marched west.

"Isn't it Xiangnan?" Sima Yi asked Xun You in a low voice on the way.

"Well, who knows?" Xun You shook his head. Anyway, it was initially determined that the direction of retreat was nothing more than west and south.

"General, why didn't you release the scouts?" After walking for a while, Cao Xiu stepped forward and asked.

"We are retreating, not fighting each other. If we send out scouts, won't we tell them that we are retreating in this direction? I will make them think that we are retreating south!" Cao Cao replied.

"Okay..." Cao Xiu was actually a little unwilling. Although there were thousands of enemy troops, the tiger and leopard cavalry under her command were not weak.As long as it is used well, even if the opponent has thousands of dollars, it can slowly kill the opponent.

However, Cao Cao wanted to leave, so he had no choice but to follow.After walking like this for two days, the messenger from Baima came over successfully and said at the same time that a large army was coming to rescue.

Naturally, Yuan Shao also received the news that Yan Liang was dead. Of the 1 people who went there, only less than 3000 returned. He was transferred back to Yecheng as the guard.

"Cao Cao actually sent the main force to Baima. That is to say, her headquarters is short of horses now. Even if the combined Yanzhou Army has more than [-] troops in Chenliu, the key is the lack of horses... But I know Cao Cao probably marched. Direction?" Yuan Shao thought for a while, then asked.

"It seems to be heading west...maybe they sent someone to Hanoi to ask for help." Xu You came out and replied.

"She wants to join forces in Hanoi, but I won't let her join!" Yuan Shao clenched his fists.
