Survival Three Kingdoms

Chapter 242 The Found Fighter Plane

"Yuan Shao's army has been through battles for a long time, and the soldiers in Hebei are fierce and good at fighting. What should we do?" Cao Cao frowned. "Although our army's food and grass have been supplemented, it still cannot last for a long time." Yuan Shao couldn't fight, and Yuan Shao couldn't be exhausted. Cao Cao was a little impatient.

He glanced at Jia Xu, Jia Xu closed his eyes as usual, as if his soul was wandering away, so he had to turn his eyes to Guo Jia again.

"Don't worry, my lord. As long as we persevere for a while, Yuan Shao will definitely reveal his flaws. After all, Yuan Shao came from a long way, and the battle line is long, and the location is right for me. Yuan Shao can't fight for a long time, and the soldiers become homesick, and their fighting spirit gradually fades." Guo Jia said. "Confronting Yuan Shao head-on will put our army at a disadvantage. However, if we harass him from the side, Yuan Jun will inevitably be impatient and have a chance to fight."

"Then what does Fengxiao think?"

After listening to Guo Jia's words, Cao Cao felt a little more at ease. Although he had made various mental preparations before the war, it was still difficult to accept it when he actually faced it.Cao Cao was still afraid that Guo Jia was just trying to comfort himself.

"Steady our side and disturb the opponent." Guo Jia continued to explain: "The most urgent thing is to stabilize our army's food road first, not to be disturbed by Yuan Shao, to ensure that the food road is unobstructed, and to send people to harass Yuan Shao to increase his supply difficulties. "

"It makes sense. Feng Xiao will explain it in detail."

"It can be ordered that every tenth column should be formed into one, linking back and forth, with an interval of two miles, so as to shorten the distance between the front and back of the grain team, and use the regrouping to strengthen the guards to prevent Yuan Jun from attacking."

"Very good, I ordered Ren Jun to carry out the same. In addition, Cao Hong and Shi Huan took turns to inspect the grain road." Cao Cao was very happy with Guo Jia's constructive opinion. Xu's capital is not far from Guandu, so it would not take too much troops to do so. , but the response and combat effectiveness are rapidly enhanced.

"Who wants to lead troops to harass Yuan Shaoliang Dao?" Cao Cao asked, this is not a good job, and it might never return.

"Mr. Cao, leave this matter to me. I am willing to lead Xuzhou troops to attack." Zhou Cang volunteered. "Duke Cao and you all feel at ease stationed at Guandu."

"If Wei Guo goes out, he will be successful. I wonder when Wei Guo is going to do it?" Cao Cao was overjoyed.

"Yuan Shao must be on guard when he first arrives. I plan to send troops in a month. At that time, Yuan Jun will relax his vigilance. In addition, during this month, I will send more scouts to investigate Yuan Jun's grain transportation routes. At that time, reinforcements from Xuzhou and Runan will also Arrive, in order to hit a hit!"

Cao Cao glanced at Guo Jia, and Guo Jia nodded slightly.It seems that the reward this time has an effect, greatly mobilizing Zhou Cang's enthusiasm.The other generals who wanted to ask for orders saw that Zhou Cang asked for orders first, so they no longer competed with Zhou Cang. The Xuzhou Inspector and General Zhendong who were just appointed by others were about to show themselves, so why bother to fight him? His status is obviously higher than that of everyone, and his status is only under Cao Cao, who would dare to rob him.Going out to fight regardless of life or death, casualties are inevitable, isn't everyone happy to see a team that consumes Zhou Cang?

Cao Cao said: "Okay! Weiguo is ready to kill Yuan Shao by surprise."

Among Cao Cao's five advisers, Xun Yu is good at government affairs, and looks at the problem from the overall development trend.Xun You has a strong view of the overall situation and formulates strategies from a strategic perspective.Guo Jia has ingenuity and can find breakthroughs even in adversity and difficulties.Cheng Yu is a conspiracy theorist, and he judges his opponents based on his deceitfulness.There is also Jia Xu, who has vicious tactics and does not express his opinion easily, and most of his ideas are sinister and vicious.

In Cao Cao's tent, Zhou Cang kept suppressing his excitement, and the dangerous move of stationing troops in Runan worked.This was a strategy he had repeatedly deduced before he dispatched troops, and there was no time to discuss it with Zhou Wen and Zhang Jiong when the incident happened suddenly.By stationing troops in Runan to show his desire for credit and official position, to dispel Cao Cao's doubts, in exchange for Xuzhou, Xiapi and Pengcheng are too important, without these two places, Xuzhou is equivalent to defenseless in front of Cao Cao.

This move was really risky, and Zhou Cang's palms were still clenched in cold sweat.Thank you Liu Bei and Yuan Shao for giving me this opportunity.If it wasn't for the Runan change, I wouldn't have this opportunity, but the exchange with Cao Cao is not equivalent, so I must take the initiative to ask for orders to rob food.

Cao Cao didn't mention Donglai and Chengyang counties, perhaps because he was at war with Yuan Tan at this time, and these two counties would become bargaining chips in his hands in the future.The more Zhou Cang thought about it, the more complacent he became, and suddenly he shouted inwardly, "It's not a good thing to have too many chips. Isn't this arousing Cao Cao's suspicion?"Having too many bargaining chips in hand will only attract hatred and become cattle and sheep waiting to be slaughtered.

Thinking of this, Zhou Cang was in a cold sweat again. Why did he forget the rules he had set for himself: don’t get carried away, don’t underestimate the wisdom of the old people based on your own understanding of history, and don’t judge others’ judgments based on your own thoughts.

Cao Cao is notoriously suspicious.The more Zhou Cang thought about it, the more worried he became. After returning to Xuzhou, he decided to discuss with Zhou Wen and Zhang Jiong how to dispel Cao Cao's suspicion. In this regard, the two had more experience than himself.

"Brother Wei Guo, go slowly?"

Not long after Zhou Cang walked out of the big tent, he heard someone calling him, who was so affectionate to him?Looking back, it was Zhang Xiu.

"Guo Wei, oh, Mr. Zhou, after a few years of separation, I didn't expect to be able to fight today." Zhou Cang's identity is no longer what it used to be, and Zhang Xiu suddenly came to his senses.

"Why did General Zhang suddenly go away? You and I are still brothers. Back then, I lived in Chang'an as a guest and took care of brother Duomeng..."

"Brother, you are a shameful brother. You entrusted your family to me, and I failed to protect you properly. I still feel guilty."

"Hey, how can we survive in troubled times? Elder brother has done his best." Zhou Cang thought for a moment, he had no relatives in Guandu, so he really needed Zhang Xiu's help. "I have already found out that Cai Yan was taken away by the Huns."

"Don't worry, brother, I will definitely bring him back!" Zhang Xiu's chest slapped, it was too embarrassing for the majestic gun king of the North. "Your brother, if you need anything, just ask, and I will never hesitate to help you."

"Then thank you, Brother Zhang, if I have any difficulties, I will ask you for help..."

"Haha, fine."

Zhou Cang immediately sent someone to send a letter to Zhou Wen and Zhang Jiong, conveying the news of his promotion to Xuzhou governor.He ordered the two to lead the prefects of Pengcheng and Xiapi respectively, and send people to take over. They did not garrison troops for the time being, so as to appease Cao Cao.Ling Zhang Jai led the remaining [-] lightning battalion cavalry and old man battalion to join up.The reason why Zhang Jaw was adjusted was that Zhou Cang felt that he could not always lead the army in person, so he needed a commander. The other reason was that Zhang Jai had a friendly relationship with Yuan Shao's Gao Lan, and he wanted to use Zhang Jaw to win Gao Lan over to the army. own men.

He also sent someone to deliver a letter to Chen Dao, and immediately led the cracked earth camp to go north to Guandu. Don't worry about defense matters, Cao Cao sent someone to take over.Zhou Cang sent several scouts and scouts to find out the route of Yuan Jun's grain transportation.
