Chapter 983 Xun Yu's Foresight

"After Ma Mengqi sent troops to Kanto, he lost 100,000 troops in the first battle?" Cao Cao toss the newly obtained war report on the case, making the thick wind-support paper make a crisp 'pop' sound. He lay on the ground and stretched his legs and feet, reaching into his arms to grab the itching under his armpits. This unmeanor made Xun Yu, who was sitting opposite him, raise his eyebrows.

After Xu Du finished the matter, Xun Yu was transferred to Guandu. The event in the palace will be decided by your majesty. Xun Yu couldn't figure out what kind of agreement Cao Cao and His Majesty had reached. But he could see through that Cao Cao could not live without the flag of the emperor. And the world is inseparable from Cao's most powerful body protection at present.

In the past two months, Cao Cao and Yuan Shao, who confronted Guandu, have launched several tentative offensives, but none of them have taken advantage of it. As soon as Ma Chao left Kanto, he relieved the siege of Cao's western line. Such a trusted ally naturally made Cao Cao feel much more comfortable.

"I can't imagine that such a high-level figure with literary and martial arts, and the cold-hearted counselor planning for it. It's incredible that Ma Mengqi and other outstanding heroes can't even survive a game. Cao Cao forgot his appearance and never looked at the war report on the case, just like a child saw his beloved toy. As he spoke, he picked up the war report again with saliva and looked over and over again.

Xun Yu finally couldn't stand it: "Ming Gong, sit down..."

"Before the battle, Wen Ruo didn't need to stick to the etiquette like that." Cao Cao waved his hand, as if he suddenly had some wandering things, and muttered to himself, "So it seems that our army's strategy needs to be adjusted in advance. Although Ang'er brought back the alliance with the Ma family, I didn't expect that Ma Mengqi was so powerful that he attracted all Yuan Shao's focus at once.

Xun Yu sat quietly on the opposite side, saw that Cao Cao's mind had been put on the business, and no longer cared about Cao Cao's illegal behavior. He asked slowly, "Master, in this case, are you going to sit on the mountain to watch the tiger fight, and don't you advocate using troops against Yuan Shao?"

"Not bad." Cao Cao restrained his hippie smile when he heard the words and nodded: "Ma Chao is extraordinary. It's too useful to deal with a Yuan Shao. Although it seems that Yuan Shao is still sending troops to Guandu, once the defeat on the Western Front reaches Yuan Shao's ears. With Yuan Shao's empty nature, he will definitely be a male and female with Ma Mengqi. What's more gratifying is that Yuan Shao has never really regarded me as his enemy, which makes it easier for our army to act.

"The public statement is reasonable, but although Liu Xuande is small, he has a lot of means. Xuzhou has been under Liu Bei for more than a year. Presumably, Liu Bei has long recovered people's hearts. Moreover, the Ming Duke had no choice but to slaughter Xuzhou, which made the people of Xuzhou more afraid of Ming Gong. I'm afraid it's not that easy to send troops to Xuzhou like this.

But Cao Cao didn't care about this and waved his hand and said, "No one said that I would attack Xuzhou. Ma Mengqi contained Yuan Shao's main force. But Yuan Tan in Qingzhou has long been ready to move to a certain family. Now that the alliance letter has arrived, we turned our heads to attack Yuan Tan, and we will not violate the alliance of the two families.

"Minggong said that Mingxiu plank road and secretly crossed Chencang?" Xun Yu couldn't help stroking his beard when he heard the words, but he frowned at random and said, "Even so, is it so sure that Ming Gong wants the enemy Yuan Tan and Liu Bei?"

"Yuan Tan is strong and powerful, and his nature is just killing, which is very different from his father. With only a few falsting defeats, you will be complacent and be captured in a battle. At that time, Liu Bei was caught off guard when he took this power to Xuzhou. At least, although the dead bones in Yuan Shu's tomb are grassy, his 200,000 troops can completely attract Liu Bei's main force to the southern line. Someone went down from the northern line and took Xuzhou like a bag!"

"Ming Gong mentioned Yuan Shu at this time, but Ming Gong's previous deployment has been effective?" Xun Yu's face is as heavy as water. Cao Cao is bold and courageous, but as Cao's most trusted mastermind, Xun Yu needs to sort out all Cao Cao's plans and omissions to lay the foundation for Cao Cao's success in advance.

However, Yuan Shu coveted Xuzhou for a long time. Hearing that someone was willing to secretly form an alliance with him to attack Yuan Shao, he had secretly sent 20 stones of military grain to support him. Naturally, the purpose was to let me fight with Yuan Shao for a long time in Guandu, but I didn't expect that Cao attracted the Ma family to send troops to Kanto. In this way, 20 stones of military grain will be used to attack Xuzhou!"

"Yuan Shu's temperament is small. If he knew that the lord did this, how could he not fight? Although Ma Mengqi is talented, if he suddenly dismisses troops with Yuan Shao, won't Ming Gong fall into the situation of north-south attack?

"Wen Ruo," Cao Cao pondered for a while, his face became more and more condensed, and he stroked his beard, "Do you think Ma Mengqi is really attracted by Cao's alliance? Ma Mengqi's heart to dominate the world, the world knows that his military power is invincible. He sent troops to Kanto for the world. It seems that Cao took advantage of him, but at the same time, didn't he take advantage of Cao's family?

After a pause, Cao Cao sighed again, "How can people who plot to fight suddenly strike on the way to the front? Don't say that Yuan Shao's arrogant nature is that Yuan Shao really pulls down his face, and Ma Mengqi will give up the rich land of Jizhou?

Xun Yu heard the words and shook his head. Then his face was also slightly ugly and said, "Ming Gong, although the Cao family and the Ma family have resumed their alliance, Ma Mengqi doesn't seem to want to completely leave the Han Dynasty and become the king. But the more so, the more terrible it is.

"Ma Chao has always had the ambition to peep at the world, and the new policy and other reforms he has created are sweeping the world of the Han Dynasty with an irreversible trend. After cutting Yuan Shao, his next goal must be Ming Gong. Moreover, from the perspective of the overall trend, the Han Dynasty has been unified for many years, and its territory has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and Ma Chao is not yet the year of the weak crown, which is the autumn of strong annexation. Turbulent times cannot last for a long time, and this is the reason why they will be separated for a long time. In the opinion of subordinates, it is imperative to decide by force who is the real lord of the Han Dynasty.

After a pause, Xun Yu said again, "Ma Chao is so strong that he is famous in the sea. Ming Gong must prepare early."

Cao Cao nodded in silence.

Since the rise of the Ma family, the expansion speed has been amazing. Under Ma Chao's internal and external cultivation, all the means have come out. After several bloody and brave fights, the world has occupied three points. This time, Yuan Shao's test led to Ma Mengqi's 400,000 army and became the most powerful valve in the world.

400,000 troops, what is this concept of a number?

If these soldiers are arranged into a phalanx, it will need a radius of more than ten miles; if they are listed as a half a mile wide army, then the queue can be lined up from Xingyang to Luoyang!

Whenever he thought of this, Cao Cao was both envious and worried. On the contrary, he began to rebel against Dong Zhuo. Only now did he finally settle down in Yanzhou's position. However, after years of war, the states and counties were dilapidated, and four out of ten people died. Although there were more than 300,000 soldiers on hand, every time they sent troops, food and straw supplies were a big problem. Compared with Ma Chao, a giant, it is simply a small ant at the feet of a giant elephant.

Therefore, Cao Cao tried his best to provoke the fight between Ma Chao and Yuan Shao. It is to make profits from the fishermen and annex the two states of Xu and Yu as soon as possible in order to fight against the two families. However, although the wisdom is good, the process is extremely difficult, difficult and worrying.

"My life is up to me. Cao has the current situation, and I, Cao Cao, will certainly not give up easily." Cao Cao is a hero after all. Under Xun Yu's reminder, instead of being discouraged, he got up and opened his arms: "I can do anything with the intelligence of the world and the Tao!"
