Survival Three Kingdoms

Chapter 257 Cao Cao's Choice
"Unfortunately, it was my trick that offended Yuan Shao and humiliated me in public. That's why I re-evaluated you two." Xu You said from the time Yuan Shao became the leader of the alliance, Yuan Shao was wrong in every way, and Yuan Shao was not as good as Cao Cao. "That's why I came to you."

Seeing Cao Cao's dubious look, Xu You gritted his teeth and said, "Let me tell Meng Deshi that I have feuded with Shenpei and Fengji. They slandered Yuan Shaojin and sent my elder brother and son to prison. Yuan Shao refused to let him go, so he could only use Meng De's soldiers to save him."

So that's the case, Cao Cao nodded, half convinced in his heart that it is Xu You's character that he must retaliate.No wonder Chunyu Qiong is popular with Yuan Shao, and Xu You is not a human being.At this time, it was close to the third watch, Cao Cao said: "Ziyuan is resting here, forgive me for not being able to accompany me, I will immediately call the generals to discuss matters."

In the middle of the night, Cao Cao urgently raised his account, and all the generals and counselors hurried over without knowing what was going on.Cao Cao briefly repeated what Xu You said. "What do you think?"

There was an explosion in the big tent immediately, and everyone began to discuss, mainly focusing on two points: one is whether Xu You is trustworthy or not, and whether he is an undercover agent sent by Yuan Shao.The second is how to defeat the 2 people in Wuchao, and the whole army may not be able to capture Wuchao.

Cao Cao felt dizzy for a while. "Feng Xiao, you go first." He still asked himself the chief think tank.

It's rare that Guo Jia didn't drink today, "My lord, if Xu You is pretending to surrender, why does he say that the place where the grain is stored is in Wuchao, and how can he say that there are [-] soldiers? It can be said that it is [-] or less, tempting us to wait." , Is it for acting more realistically?"

"Cough, cough, cough," Guo Jia coughed loudly, blushing on his face.Guo Jia's health has always been poor, and he didn't pay attention to self-control, so it got worse and worse, and he started coughing after autumn. "I think it's true that Yuan Shao used Wuchao as a place to store grain. Wuchao is only forty miles away from Guandu, and it's close to Wuchao Ze, which is suitable for use as a granary. Therefore, we should try it. Our army's food and grass are almost exhausted. Therefore, regardless of whether it is true or not, we must raid Wuchao."

Cao Cao was also paying attention to others when he heard Guo Jia's words, and he realized that Jia Xu had a little reaction and nodded slightly. "Wenhe, what do you think?"

"Ming Gong, Fengxiao has already been concluded, so why ask again?" The old fox still has his usual style. "Is there no better way now?"

Xun You said: "Although this is the case, my lord must take all precautions, just in case."

"I've already made up my mind. I'll personally lead five thousand tiger and leopard riders to Wuchao, and leave you to stand firm in the camp..."

"My lord can't, how can my lord take the risk himself? It's enough to send a general." Everyone discouraged.

"Zhang Liao is willing to lead the army!" Zhang Liao seized the opportunity to express himself.

"The battlefield is changing rapidly, and the opportunity for war is fleeting. It's not that I don't trust you, but I can only deal with it in person. Time is running out, and no further discussion is allowed!" Cao Cao directly issued a password. "Cao Xiu, Cao Chun, order Qi Tiger and Leopard Riders to set off immediately!"

"Mr. Cao." Everyone couldn't speak, but Zhou Cang could, he suddenly stood out and said.

"Wei Guo, are you trying to persuade me?"

"No. I still have [-] Lightning Battalions here, and I can go with Cao Gong. I am willing to go with Cao Gong and be Cao Gong's pioneer."

Cao Cao was so moved that he almost came down and hugged Zhou Cang. "That's great, please go to Weiguo to prepare quickly." Cao Cao glanced at Zhang Xiu from the corner of his eyes, and saw that Zhang Xiu was lowering his head as if he didn't realize it.

Guo Jia glanced at Zhou Cang. "My lord, it is estimated that [-] cavalry can break through Wuchao. But beware of Yuan Shao's plan to attack our Guandu Camp after he finds out."

"There is no room for loss in the base camp. Feng Xiao reminded you well! Zhang Xiu and Le Jin ordered you to strictly control the left road, Cao Hong and Shi Huan in the middle road, and trouble Wei Guo on the right road. Zhang Liao, you lead 3000 people. As support from all walks of life. Feng Xiao and Gong Da are deployed in the middle, and I am not in the camp and you two will be in charge." Cao Cao divided the long base into three war zones. What Jia Xu said was correct. Cao Cao had already figured it out clearly. and take countermeasures.

"Yes! My lord, don't worry!"

"Go back and prepare, let's go at the fourth watch!"

"Cao Gong, wait a minute." Zhou Cang came to Cao Cao and whispered in a low voice: "I mentioned the navy to Cao Cao last time, and now the navy is ready. While everyone's attention is now on Guandu, I will send someone to Tell them to attack, and you will get great success."

"Hahaha, good! Leave this matter to Weiguo."

Zhou Cang rushed back to the camp, and all the generals were already waiting.

"It's too late to go into details. Hua Xiong and Qu'a, order you two to order the Lightning Battalion immediately as the front team to follow me and Cao Cao to raid Wuchao." Zhou Cang directly ordered. "By the way, Junyi took out all the bottles and cans prepared by the army and brought them to the Lightning Battalion, and threw them all in."

"My lord, I will go too." Dian Wei said.Wherever Zhou Cang went, Dian Wei followed.

"Why did my lord go in person, Zhang Jaw is willing to go!"

Zhou Cang nodded, and then said: "Yuan Shao may come to attack the camp tonight, so the responsibility of defending the camp is more important than going out for an expedition. Junyi, Chen Dao, you must order Qi Panshi and the cracked soil camp to guard the right line of defense. There must be no mistakes. Jun Yi, send someone to notify Gan Ning immediately to attack Yuan Jun's water village, I don't want any more Yuan Jun's ships on the Yellow River!"

The reactions of the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry and the Lightning Battalion were very quick, and they were ready in less than two sticks of incense.In the dark, Cao Cao didn't find all kinds of bottles tied to the knights of the Lightning Battalion. He was very curious about Qu'a's appearance. No matter how he looked like Lu Bu, he might be an admirer of Lu Bu.As for Hua Xiong and Dian Wei, Cao Cao already knew how to be brave, and Cao Cao immediately ordered: Zhou Cang led the Xuzhou cavalry in the front, followed by himself, and the distance between the two armies was ten miles.

Jiang Qi has received orders to strictly inspect the camp to prevent Cao Cao from attacking the camp.However, Jiang Qi didn't know that Yuan Shao was using Wuchao as a bait, so he just went out to find a camp earlier than usual.Just ten miles away from the Wuchao camp, a scout came to report that cavalry was found two miles away. There were more than 1000 cavalry, claiming to be a team sent by Yuan Shao to patrol.

"Hehe, you still want to deceive me? Why didn't the lord send someone to inform me in advance? It must be Cao Jun's fake." Jiang Qi smiled slightly, and then frowned. How could such a small number of people come to attack the camp? Put it in your own eyes. "Go back and report to General Chunyu immediately, I will wipe out the incoming enemy here." Instead of returning to Wuchao, he formed an array on the spot to meet him.

"The archers are ready, wait for my order to shoot random arrows!"

It was four o'clock at this time, and the sky began to brighten a little.Seeing that Yuan Jun came to ask about it, Zhou Cang replied that it was sent by Yuan Shao, about three arrows away from Yuan Jun, Hua Xiong and Qu A tacitly divided into two teams, and suddenly rushed straight to Yuan Jun.
