Chapter 449 A trip to Mount Tai

And in the tent of the Chinese army, Cao Cao was sitting on the ground with his head and knees crossed. On the ground in front of Cao Cao, a map of Yanzhou was spreading on the ground. Obviously, Cao Cao was thinking about the combat strategy against Lv Bu's army.

"Ming Gong hasn't had a rest yet? I've walked a lot today. I think Ming Gong is already tired. It's better to rest early and refresh yourself. Let's wait until tomorrow. Seeing Cao Cao's frown and the frost on his face, Guo Jia opened his mouth slightly to persuade him.

"Feng Xiao, now we are fighting with Lv Bu's army. We have been defeated in a row, and I still want to rest there." Hearing Guo Jia come in, Cao Cao's head did not reply. However, Cao Cao, who had been staring at the map at this time, seemed to have found something. Suddenly, he said excitedly, "Feng Xiao, come and have a look. We have always taken Yanzhou as our target. Now Lv Bu Chen Palace is already in Yanzhou. At this time, if we give up Yanzhou to attack Puyang, Puyang will definitely be empty. Cao Cao said suddenly as if he had discovered the New World.

"Oh, Ming Gong, today, does Ming Gong still want to fight against Lv Bu alone?" Hearing that Cao Cao was still trying to attack Puyang at this time, Guo Jia sighed and said something that Cao Cao didn't expect at all.

Cao Cao was shocked at first, and then looked at Guo Jia thoughtfully and asked, "Sir, please say something directly." Cao Cao naturally knew that Guo Jia was not a casual speaker. Since he spoke like this, of course there was a reason. Cao Cao didn't think about Guo Jia's idea. It's just that Cao Cao was very proud and felt that his strength was enough to deal with Lv Bu. Even if the other princes were stronger than Cao Cao, Cao Cao did not think highly of these princes in his bones. What's more, Yanzhou was his Cao Cao's territory, and Cao Cao did not allow it. His princes were involved, but at this time, in the days of the war, Cao Cao was defeated in both wars. Not only could he not defeat Lv Bu, but he lost his strength. Now even Cao Cao is a little worried about defeating Lv Bu and expelling Lv Bu from Yanzhou. Needless to mention other people, in the face of such a situation, Guo Jia said at this time. This sentence inadvertently fluctuated Cao Cao's heartstrings. Jian was as strong as Cao Cao, and he also hoped that he could find reinforcements and work together to deal with Lv Bu at this time.

"Ming Gong, at this time, the city owned by our army is no more than the city, Dong'a and Fan County. If our army can win quickly and drive Lv Bu out of Yanzhou, Ming Gong can become the lord of Yanzhou again. However, the number of soldiers in our army can't beat Lv Bu quickly. Now that our strength is greatly damaged, the soldiers and horses can only compete with Lv Bu. In addition, Lv Bu's city is a hundred times more than our army, and its strength has increased a hundred times that of our army. Once it is delayed, our army will not be able to fight. Therefore, if you want to deal with Lv Bu, you can only lead foreign soldiers into Yanzhou to solve the crisis of Yanzhou. Guo Jia said that he looked at Cao Cao again.

Cao Cao just nodded to signal Guo Jia to continue.

"Nanyang Yuan Shu has always been a great ambition. If the Ming Gong can use Huancheng, Dong'a and Fan County, Yuan Shu will definitely be willing to send troops to help. At that time, the Ming Gong only needs to set up a maze in the three places of Xuancheng, Dong'a and Fan County, and lead the army to take Sizhou directly. He can definitely take Sizhou, so that Lv Bu can's head and end at the same time. In addition, although Ma Teng in Bingzhou is a pawn arranged by Lv Bu in Hebei, Ma Teng was once a general of the imperial court, and he could not be willing to be used by others. Ming Gong can make Ma Teng meet one after another to attack Lv Bu together. I believe Ma Teng will also be very interested in this. For Guo Jia, since Yanzhou can't be taken back for a while, he might as well look a little farther. At this time, he found the weakness of Lv Bu's army's long front. In order to protect Sizhou, Zhang Liao and Hua Xiong only have 20,000 soldiers and horses in Wancheng, but Yuan Shu has 400,000 soldiers and horses, and Yuan Shu's advantage is There are many soldiers, and Cao Cao's advantage lies in the general and strategy. If the two can cooperate well, then they still have an advantage in the face of Lv Bu. In this design, a very important factor of Guo Jia is to use Yuan Shu's greed to give Yuan Shu three places in Huancheng, Dong'a and Fan County to show the sincerity of cooperation between Cao Cao and Yuan Shu, so as to pull Yuan Shu into the regiment in Yanzhou, while Cao Cao's goal is to aim at Sizhou, which is weak.

A few days later, Cao Cao rushed back to the city with his remaining soldiers and horses. He was not fighting with Lv Bu. He looked like he was going to make a truce with Lv Bu. However, anyone can see that this is the prelude to the upcoming storm.

"Lord, Cao Cao lost and left the city. I don't know what the master plans to do?" Knowing that Cao Cao had retreated from the city, Chen Gong found Lv Bu and asked.

"Why don't you say your opinion first?" Looking at Chen Gong, Lv Bu smiled and asked.

"Cao Cao is not a thing in the pool. Although he was defeated and retreated this time, although Cao's army had losses, it still had the strength to fight. At this time, I'm afraid that there was no other conspiracy to retreat. The lord might as well mobilized troops and horses to besiege the city to see what Cao Cao had in." With Chen Gong's understanding of Cao Cao, he knows that Cao Cao is definitely not such an easy person to admit defeat. What's more, Cao's army still has the strength to fight. Cao Cao has no reason to calm like this, unless there is a new plan.

"The public is not bad. That's what I think. Cao Cao is the hero of the world. How can he easily lose?" Hearing Chen Gong's judgment, Lv Bu also nodded affirmatively and then said, "In this case, we can't give Cao Cao any chance to breathe. You can start to raise food, soldiers and horses and prepare to attack Yincheng."

"Yes." Chen Gong nodded and answered, and looked at Lv Bu strangely and asked, "The lord is not in a hurry to send troops to the city. Is there anything else to do?" From Lv Bu's words, Chen Gong had felt Lv Bu's determination to destroy Cao Cao, but it seemed that Lv Bu was not as anxious as Chen Gong, so Chen Gong asked strangely.

"Hahaha, I really can't hide anything from the public station. I heard that Yanzhou is to the east. There are yellow scarf thieves on Mount Tai. They gather more than a hundred thousand people to gather in the mountains and forests, endangering the place. They have long wanted to go to Pingding and take it for their own use, but they have not been free. This time, Cao Cao retreated from the city, which happened to be an opportunity, so I wanted to lead the army to go. What does the public station think? Hearing Chen Gong's question, Lv Bu laughed and said.

"When the general said this, he also remembered that the strength of the Taishan thieves has gradually grown in recent years, which has caused a lot of trouble to the surrounding counties. If this harm can be eliminated as soon as possible, the Yanzhou border is also much more stable. It's just that the Taishan thieves gather in the mountains and forests, but it's not so easy to deal with. I don't know if the general can take it for his own use in a short time. As soon as he heard Lv Bu's words, Chen Gong immediately understood that he had been fighting hard with the Cao army for the past few days, and the losses of the Cao army were huge, but the losses of Lv Bu's army were not light, so Lv Bu wanted to take Taishan Guanhai for his own use to expand his military strength, and then send troops to deal with Cao Cao. Chen Gong naturally understood this, but it seemed to be a little urgent to kill at this time. It must be that the thieves of Mount Tai have lived in Mount Tai for a long time. Once they see Lv Bu's strong military strength and hide in Mount Tai, Lv Bu will have no choice. In this way, it is likely to delay Lv Bu's time and make Cao Cao have the opportunity to take advantage of it. Therefore, Chen Gong is also a little worried. It must be that this kind of time difference is not so easy to grasp.

"You can rest assured that when I go to Mount Tai this time, I only need to lead 5,000 wolf riders and Tai Shici's soldiers and horses, and the rest of the soldiers and horses will stay in Yanzhou. In this way, even if Cao Cao waved his troops, it will be enough to protect Yanzhou. In addition, the 30,000 Cao soldiers who were captured in the last battle with Cao's army, Gongtai also took the opportunity to train at this time. When I come back from Mount Tai, it will be Cao Cao's death. Although Chen Gong was still a little worried about Lv Bu's trip, Lv Bu did not seem to be worried about his confident appearance.

"The general will leave the matter of Yanzhou to me, but the general wants to subdue the Taishan thieves, so I'm afraid there are only a few soldiers and horses with him?" Although Lv Bu looked confident, Chen Gong still said with some worry.

"I have a plan for the Taishan thief, so you don't have to worry about it." In the face of Chen Gong's worries, Lv Bu smiled mysteriously and obviously had arrangements. It turned out that since he was in Sizhou, Lv Bu began to fight the idea of the Yellow Turban Army and was ready to take this huge power for his own use. However, the Yellow Turban Army in the area of Taihang Mountain was originally in the hands of Zhang Yan, but as soon as Zhang Yan died, the yellow scarf in the area of Taihang Mountain did not have a unified leader. Lv Bu wanted to collect them together, but there was There was nowhere to do it, so it was delayed. But now Lv Bu has the experience of subduing Puyang. This time, Lv Bu is naturally more confident in subduing the Taishan thieves. A few days ago, Lv Bu sent Pei Yuanshao to Taishan with some surrendered yellow scarf generals, and what Lv Bu wants to do this time is to show himself in front of Guan Hai. His own strength, so that Guan Hai was afraid and completely surrendered to himself. Therefore, Lv Bu only chose the most powerful wolf horse and iron chain horse army this time. As for taking Tai Shici forward, Lv Bu wanted to take this opportunity to go to Donglai Tai Shici's hometown. If possible, he would bring Tai Shici's mother back together. Last time Tai Shici let Cao Cao go, which was a test for Lv Bu. Over the years, Lv Bu's strength has developed too fast. Even around Lv Bu, there are many sympathizers of other forces, and these people are likely to look at others like Tai Shici in future battles. Since he has found Tai Shici this time, Lv Bu will Completely solve Tai Shici's problem. Last time he wanted to cut off his head. Although the effect was good, some well-sighted people can still see Lv Bu's intention clearly, and this time Lv Bu wanted to play emotional cards. Isn't Tai Shici a filial son? As a lieutenant of the imperial court, Lv Bu was a hero of the world. He went to invite the old lady in person. He treated the old lady like his own relatives. Will Tai Shici still have two minds? As the saying goes, grace and power are the real way to go.
