Chapter 1053 You come and go

"Lord, why did you get such news?" When Xun You heard the first sentence when Ma Chao returned, a very ominous foreboding suddenly rose in his heart.

Ma Chao subdued more than 300,000 people of the Montenegrin army with dozens of riders, and has discussed the recent conspiracy of Leping County. It is really a gorgeous diplomatic negotiation: this news came that the core capable men of the Ma family have lost the depression of half a month ago, and everyone became jubilant - they joined hands with the Montenegrin army within 10 days. Then you can capture Leping County. And now the Ma family is in full force, and the victory of the four parties has indeed relieved everyone.

But now Ma Chao's words have brought the whole hall back to the previous heavy atmosphere: the Yuan Cao war will end in the near future, and it is not in Jizhou!

"Lord, is this news really groundless?" Yang Fu came forward in disbelief and frowned, "My subordinates have reviewed all the military newspapers recently and learned that Cao Cao is in a fierce battle with Yuan Shao these days. The two sides built a deep wall outside Ye City and laid a confrontation area stretching for dozens of miles. The daily front line is constantly changing, showing a chaotic situation of crisscrossing dogs and teeth. Once they retreat lightly, they will lose at least 20,000 soldiers and countless grain and fod ordnance... Lord, how can Cao Cao say retreat?"

Ma Chao sighed. After returning, he quickly reviewed the military newspaper that had left Jinyang and learned that the situation was indeed as Yang Fu said. Even, if you recall it carefully, it is still the same as the situation when Yuan Cao was in a stalemate in history.

In this month, the struggle between the two sides can really be described as unpredictable. Cao Jun's first plan was to sneak attack.

On June 1, a strange astronomical phenomenon occurred, a total solar eclipse. Cao Cao did not know science, but knew military opportunity. He led the army to kill Yuan Shao's spirit during the day and night. So there was the first contact war, but at this time, Yuan Shao's army was not leisurely and waited for Yuan Shao's order. And the solar eclipse on that day was not long, and it could not play a cover. In the contact war, Cao Cao's troops were too small to break through the defense of the Yuan camp, so he had to retreat to the fortifications outside Ye City: the turtle did not turn its head, but took all the hard shell top.

Yuan Shao thought, little bastard, you finally dare not come out. Then ordered a fierce attack! However, the fortress outside Ye City was built by Yuan Shao in a year or two. The quality of the construction has reached international certification, and there is no water at all. It completely cheaps Cao Cao, and the hard attack has little effect.

So, the camps on both sides began a fighting engineering battle. Yuan Shao asked people to rise to the earthy mountains and build tall buildings, overlooking Cao's camp, and the soldiers shot down with arrows. This move was so powerful that it rained arrows in Cao's camp. Everyone had to use a shield as an umbrella when they came out to urinate. If they were not careful, little jiji was shot.

Cao Cao held a meeting to encourage everyone to have small inventions and creations to deal with Yuan Shao. Cao Ying is also full of talents. Immediately, Liu Ye sent skilled craftsmen to build a stone car. The stone car improved by Liu Ye is called a Thunderbolt car, which is Cao Jun's magic weapon. The cables and stone bullets used in the Thunderbolt car are customized. For the distance of the stone, different cables and stone bullets of different weights should be selected. Therefore, as long as the operator knows a little basics of calculation, it can be much more accurate than the ordinary stone car, and the technology is no less than the improved winch stone car of the Ma family. The Thunderbolt car appeared and beat the archers on the high building of Yuanying to death, and he no longer dared to go up and shoot arrows.

If the plan didn't work, Yuan Shao made another plan and asked someone to dig a tunnel. It's better to dig directly into Cao Cao's office and kill Cao Cao in the middle of the night. Of course, it doesn't matter who's office it digs. Anyway, you can use the authentic soldiers to break through to Cao's camp. Cao Cao's scout came back to report, which scared Cao Cao. If a bunch of soldiers came out under the bed in the middle of the night, there would be no need to fight. What should I do? Some master came up with a plan to dig trenches in the camp and cut off the tunnels. No one wants to sneak around. Yuan Shao saw that Cao Cao dug a trench, so he had to give up. You can't dig deeper than the trench.

These exchanges are just major events, interspersed with sneak attacks and counterattacks, charge and counterattacks, scolding and counter-swearing arrays, and the soldiers in the camps of both sides can't even sleep well. Even, the two bosses, Yuan Shao and Cao Cao, have been assassinated by each other many times, and all of them were intercepted by Yuan Shao's Gao Lan and Cao Cao's Dian Wei Xu Chu and killed on the spot.

Therefore, in such a situation, anyone with military knowledge will not think that Cao Cao will retire at this time. Ma Chao was helpless and finally had to say, "I happened to save the owner of the Zhen family in Zhang Yan's black army. He told me this news."

When everyone heard the news, their faces couldn't help but change: the Zhen family is the largest merchant in Jizhou. In addition to the normal collection of grain, there is also a large part of the Zhen family's�� land. The owner of the Zhen family, who returned to the Cao family, revealed the information that their grain and fodder were going to migrate to Guandu, not because Cao Cao wanted to be cunning in the three caves. The only possibility is that Cao Cao wants to move the battlefield, break the deadlock between the two armies, and destroy Yuan Shao in one fell swoop.

"Lord, for today's plan, we would rather believe it and not believe it. The most urgent task is for the Ma army to completely calm down Bingzhou, take advantage of Cao's plan to destroy Yuan Shao, send troops to Wei County and Yangping counties, and cut off Cao Cao's road to the north in advance. In this way, the two states have entered the hands of our army, and the Ma family is very powerful!" Xunyou's eyebrows moved and immediately opened his mouth to break the situation of the Ma family.

Ma Chao didn't know this. However, after hearing about Xun You's plan, he shook his head slightly and said, "Gongda, although this plan is wonderful, it is like a castle in the air, which is impressive but untouchable. Now the Ma family is strong, but it is impossible to calm down Bingzhou before Cao defeats Yuan Shao. And even if we can calm down Bingzhou as soon as possible, we can't know the exact time for Cao's army to defeat Yuan Shao. If the army is sent early, it is inevitable to beat the grass and startle the snake, which will make Yuan Shao scared and make Cao Cao's big plan change; if the army is late... It's late, so there's nothing to say."

"Why do you have to raid Wei County and Yangping counties?" Guo Jia raised his hand, smiled playfully, and said slowly, "My lord's two worries are one of them."

Then he stretched out his second finger: "After all, Yuan Shao has 400,000 troops. Even if Cao Gong can break it in one fell swoop, can he capture or behead Yuan Shao alive? If Yuan Shao survives, then Jizhou is still Yuan Shao's world. The Ma family can force Yuan Shao to be trapped in Youzhou at most and can't completely annihilate the Yuan family. What's the point of such an urgent attack on Wei County and Yangping counties? This is the second."

"Cao Gongzu Yanzhou, and behind it is Qingzhou. It is really unwise that he and the Ma family captured Jizhou but did not take Qingzhou. This is the third." Guo Jia bent his third finger.

Hearing Guo Jia's analysis, Ma Chao was convinced - this is the gap.

"It can be seen that our army can't take Wei County and Yangping, and it is not urgent. The most urgent matter is that in addition to pacifying Bingzhou as soon as possible, there is also a strategy that can hit the nail on the head and completely destroy the Yuan family!"

Guo Jiayi said the word 'poison strategy', and everyone in the hall couldn't help but think of two people: the old fox Jia Xu and the poisoner Li Ru.

Unfortunately, these two people are now guarding in Chang'an and can't come here to contribute. Ma Chao turned his eyes, looked around, and then put his eyes on Guo Jia: "Fengxiao, if you have something to say, whether it is a poisonous or a clever strategy, as long as it can destroy Yuan Shao, it is a good strategy!"

"Actually, Gongda has already said this strategy. However, there is something wrong with the location of the attack. Guo Jia's eyes flashed with light, and he walked to the large desk covered with a cowhide map.

Xun You heard the words and seemed to wake up. He nodded and said, "It's really a thousand miles away!"

Ma Chao couldn't help standing up and walking to the side of the map. Then, the foxes also found it interesting and came forward to think carefully. After a while, everyone looked at each other, stretched out their fingers and pointed to the same place: "Here it is!"
