Three Kingdoms.

  Chapter 1614 A pitfall

   "Cao and Yuan are going to fight again..."

   Fei sneaked behind the table and handed the latest information to Pang Tong. Pang Tong took it, looked it over, and said, "Send troops from Hanoi? This strategy is not bad..."

  Fei Qian nodded and said: "I have already sent a copy to Cao Sikong..."

Preparations before the war require a lot of things. From time to time, it is said that you can go out immediately with two clicks on the mouse. Food, grass, utensils, and even soldiers’ clothes, shoes and socks need to be prepared, which is messy and cumbersome. Basically, at any time, Those who can be prepared within three days and can go out immediately are considered very orderly and strong soldiers. The central forbidden army in the pre-Qin period and the Habayashi army in the Han Dynasty were generally in this ranks. Generally speaking, those who can go out in battle within five to seven days are quite good. This is still a standing army. If it is a conscript, from the time the call-up order is issued to the end of the collection of the whole army, those who can go out within half a year are considered on time...

Hanoi is relatively close to Shangdang, and you can reach Shangdang by crossing the Taihang Mountain Trail. From Shangdang to Bingbeiguan, there are often fast horses on weekdays. In addition, because Yuan Shao and Cao Cao are at war, it is far better to be prepared for Cao Cao in the south than to be prepared. Fei Qian in the west is more strict, and Fei Qian has arranged some manpower in advance, so it is not too difficult to obtain relevant information before Yuan Shao sends troops.

   And in many cases, this information is basically public. It's like a large amount of concentrated transfer of grain, grass, equipment, and large purchases of salt and iron, which led to the sudden emptying of the market's inventory and soaring prices. The conclusion of the horse to act.

As for which direction to go, it's not easy to know, but considering the overall battle situation, Yuan Jun starting from Hanoi can only sneak attack the route behind Cao Cao's side, and the rest are not impossible, but rather unreasonable , and there are not many visible benefits. Unless you are full and sick, you will generally not choose other routes.

  For example, suddenly changing direction, marching north to Shangdang...

   Possibility is not impossible, but in the absence of any cooperation, Zhang He's partial army mainly composed of cavalry attacked Huguan for several months against the main force of Cao Cao's personal commander in history? Then the frontal Cao Cao has not been resolved, and immediately opened up a second front?

  Mustache back then was forced to do nothing because he had no choice but to open the second line, because only by taking the oil from the Caucasus and the grain from Kyiv could support Germany to continue to expand and digest, otherwise he would be eaten to death by himself...

   The specifics seem to be similar to those of the devils back then. To obtain the oil from Central Asia, the road to Southeast Asia must be opened up, and to open up Southeast Asia, the United States must be defeated, leaving the United States in a state of distress, and there is no air traffic control in Southeast Asia...

   So resources are the most important.

"Liang Dao is on alert..." Fei Qian clicked on the table, as if where the finger was pointing was the pot of the Shangdang, and then swiped to the side, "Although it is unlikely, it is still best to be careful... As long as Zhongmou's troops don't move, Shangdang's threat is not that great..."

  Pang Tong nodded, agreeing with Fei Qian's point of view, "Mostly, it still disturbs Cao Jun's retreat, it depends on how Cao Sikong responds... However, the master's intention is... to help Cao Sikong?"

Fei Qian was silent for a moment and said: "As I told you before, the Yuan family must fall...Only the noble family has a new way to go... The Yuan family has monopolized all the top paths of the noble family. ..."

  Pang Tong also fell silent, then suddenly looked at Fei Qian, there seemed to be some worry in his small eyes.

   "Do you think that one day I will become like Yuan?" Fei Qian noticed the change in Pang Tong, laughed and said.

  Pang Tong nodded slightly.

"My words... probably not..." Fei Qian laughed loudly, "But what about future generations... It's hard to say... So now the system is very important, very important, there is no better system, and the greediness of human nature is still the same What happened in history will repeat itself again and again..."

   "The system can guarantee..." Pang Tong hesitated for a while, and did not finish.

   "Nothing can be guaranteed..." Fei Qian shook his head and said, "It can only be slowed down...it can't be eliminated... As for how much we can slow it down, it depends on how much we can do... Let's encourage each other..."

  Pang Tong was stunned for a moment, nodded, and then returned to dealing with government affairs.

   "Oh, by the way, how did you arrange the last big incident?" Fei Qian also asked casually without looking up while processing the writing.

  Pang Tong completed the approval of the writing in his hand with a few strokes, and then opened another book, saying: "Isn't it according to the lord's intention to cultivate the iron of Daruo and the copper of Nanzhong secretly?"

Pang Tong blinked his eyes, with some doubts on his black bun face, he glanced at Fei Qian, "The iron of the big iron, divert the attention of the people in Sichuan and Shu, and then take the opportunity to take down the Nanzhong Copper Mine. When it is difficult to smelt iron, it will be too late to turn it into copper... Isn't that what the lord meant?"

  Fei Qian said "hmmm" twice, without looking up, and said, "Yes, yes, that's what I meant... Shi Yuan did a good job... By the way, let's go hunting in two days..."

   "Hunting?" Pang Tong suddenly raised his head, his eyes widened, "Really going? We need to arrange it in advance..."

   "No, no," Fei Qian knew what Pang Tong was worried about, and said, "It's not me, it's you..."

   "Me?" Pang Tong pointed to his nose, and the brush almost poked his face, "Why? I'm not good at bowing horses..."

   "You need more practice if you are not proficient!" Fei Qian replied naturally, "Hunting, outing, drinking, writing Fu..."

   "What?" Pang Tong was obviously dumbfounded.

   "Your parents have sent a letter..." Fei Qian laughed twice and said.

   "What?" Pang Tong still didn't respond.

"What does Mr. Pang mean, that you are old and young, you can either find another one in Chang'an, or Jing Xiang can arrange one for you..." Fei Qian chuckled twice, "I think about it, you should choose one yourself. Okay, I can't sit in the office all the time...cough, no, I'm always in the political affairs hall, and I want to participate in the activities of the nobles..."

   "Ah, ah?" Pang Tong widened his eyes.

   "General Cai of Jingxiang..." Fei Qian looked at Pang Tong with a smile, and said, "I heard that I recognized a younger sister from the Zhi family some time ago... It seems to be about the same age as you..."

   "Cai's again?" Pang Tong stared round his eyes, shaking his bun face, "Not right, not right..."

"Why don't you think about that? You didn't look for Guanzhong, but Jingxiang..." Fei Qian said, "The Kuai family doesn't get along with us. The Ma family are all boys, but the Huang family is pretty good. Why don't I go?" Write a letter, tell my father-in-law, let him also find a thoughtful sidekick as a relative?"

   "Uh, forget it, let me see for myself..." Pang Tong said with a sigh.

"That's fine." Fei Qian nodded and said, "Anyway, you should hurry up... I still remember what you said back then, that you could be happy with what the family arranged for you? Pushing and blocking?"

   "What do you mean it's coming to an end?" Pang Tong muttered, "It doesn't sound like a good word... Okay, I know about this matter, I'll hurry up, hurry up..."

   Fei Qian nodded, and then went back to work.

  For a while, I only heard the sound of flipping through bamboo slips and wooden tablets...

After a while, Fei Qian suddenly said again: "Oh, by the way, Shi Yuan, do you have a good horse... Do you want to go to my place to pick one, and practice it by the way, or you won't be able to climb it when the time comes ...Climb up and..."

  Pang Tong couldn't laugh or cry, and almost threw his brush away, "I'm not fat! I'm strong!"

   Fei Qian raised his head to the sky and let out a haha.

   Immediately, the two of them stopped talking again and concentrated on dealing with business.

   After a while, I suddenly heard Pang Tong say: "My lord, where do you... really have a good horse? I mean... a slightly better horse..."

   Feiqian laughed loudly, and beckoned to Huang Xu: "Take Mr. Pang to pick a good horse later!"

  Huang Xu replied with a smile.

  Pang Tong put down his pen and said, "Why wait? Go now! Farewell, farewell!" After speaking, he bowed his hands to Fei Qian and urged Huang Xu, "Go, go, go..."

Fei Qian laughed, waved his hand, and then watched Pang Tong and Huang Xu leave with a smile, then saw the Zhongxing Sword on the sword stand on the side of the table, and gradually stopped laughing, Can't help but think about it...

  …………………

  Different from General Hussars who has the mood to sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight, it is Alexander who really knows that Cao Cao is under the Tiger Mountain.

  Cao Cao was fully armed, standing on a small hill, looking around.

  This is a place more than 200 miles southwest of Luoyang. Originally, there should be a piece of cultivated land, and there were many villages, but now it is basically abandoned, forming a lot of weeds, and there are few people.

The wind is getting stronger and stronger, passing through the undulating hills, making whining sounds in my ears, the bushes and small trees on the slopes rustle together, and occasionally there is one or two howls from wolves or dogs. It was caught in the sound of the wind, and it sounded particularly stern when it came to the ears.

  Listening to the sound of the wind and the shrill howling, Cao Cao trembled slightly.

Last night, Cao Cao had a nightmare again. Although many details were blurred in the morning, Cao Cao still remembered that he dreamed of his son Cao Ang, standing not far away, staring at him , the eyes seem to contain a lot of emotions, so complicated that even Cao Cao can't distinguish clearly...

  It seems that Mrs. Ding is still there, but she is a little different. Anyway, she is staring at Cao Cao, and the eyes are full of resentment, fear and sadness, just like the eyes of Lu Boshe who died at his own hands back then.

The chaotic and unbearable dream, I don’t know if I was thinking too much, or what it meant. When Cao Cao woke up from the dream, he realized that those creepy curses that seemed to float out of **** were actually It's the wind.

   Maybe it wasn’t the sound of the wind, but the sound of curses floating from afar?

  Cao Cao is a little confused.

The rushing blood in the body still kept Cao Cao standing upright, with bursts of cold sweat on his back, and there was an indescribable cold when blown by the wind. Although it was already spring, he couldn't feel a little bit of it warmth.

Cao Cao knew in his heart that because of the deterioration of the situation and the death of Ang Er, he had fallen into a state of trance in many aspects, but he had no room to adjust or recover, so he could only grit his teeth and stiffen Therefore, this will inevitably bring about many follow-up problems, but Cao Cao understands that he has no choice.

   This time, it is indeed the most dangerous moment. If I show a little bit of depression, I am afraid that the only way to die is.

  Facing the wind, Cao Cao laughed twice. He seemed very relieved, but he was still trying to dispel the anxiety in his heart. Then he waved to the side and called Cao Hong.

  Cao Hong thought about Cao Cao and saluted, and then asked, "My lord, what are your orders?"

  Cao Cao didn't say anything about the battle plan immediately, but instead asked: "Zi Lian, it's windy today, can the soldiers have something to keep out the cold?"

  Cao Hong was stunned for a moment, then cupped his hands and said, "Reporting to my lord, the wind is strong up the slope, but it's okay down the slope. In addition, there are some felt cloths in the luggage, which is enough to keep out the cold."

  Cao Cao nodded, said: "Good." Then he stopped talking.

  Cao Hong was a little sluggish, why did you call me here? After blinking, Cao Hong turned his head and confessed a few words to the messenger, asking him to send the order for the soldiers to deliver Cao Cao's orders, distribute some things to keep them warm, and then came back, stood behind Cao Cao, and said in silence for a moment : "My lord, this... Yuan Jun will definitely come here?"

   From Hanoi to Yuzhou, it is normal to go through Luoyang, but if you don’t want to be discovered by people in Luoyang, then you need to go farther.

  Cao Cao closed his eyes, but the eyeballs under the eyelids were still moving: "It will definitely come here!"

  After a short pause, Cao Cao added, "Yuan Jun has been at odds with us for a long time, and we urgently need to seek a breakthrough. If our supply roads are attacked, civil strife will definitely break out...Yuan Benchu ​​is also thinking about General Hussars, so he dare not act recklessly..."

Cao Cao opened his eyes, and there was a fierce light in his slender eyes, "So Yuan Jun will come! We just plan to use the plan and send a food team to lure the enemy... When it enters the urn, we can take the opportunity to attack it! It's a big win!"

  In fact, Cao Cao himself had already calculated clearly before and after, so he explained more at this time, just to strengthen his confidence. Rather than explaining for Cao Hong to listen to, in fact, it was more about repeating to himself.

The news of Kuaima from Guanzhong also confirmed this point. General Hussars seems to have no plans to leave Guanzhong, or for the time being, although Cao Cao also knows that Fei Qian is waiting to be a fisherman, but only Taking advantage of this opportunity, defeating the Yuan family will allow him to unify the north and south of the river, and also have the strength and opportunity to contend.

Seeing Cao Hong nodding yes, Cao Cao cheered up, temporarily blocked all distracting thoughts in his mind, focused all his attention on the matter in front of him, and said in a deep voice: "So, let Mancheng send a food team to lure Yuan Jun out! "

   Is there anything more worthy of Yuan Jun's attack than the grain transportation team?

  If the grain team is really attacked, no matter whether it is from Luoyang or Yuzhou, it will also attack Cao Cao's rear, so if Yuan Jun gets the news, he will definitely attack!

   Zhang He, Zhang He, will you really jump into this pit?
