Chapter 3205 Wrong
At Zhongtiao Mountain, the Cao army camp was in a strict and neat manner.
There are no large groups of people and chariots and horses in the camp, only strong armor and soldiers.
Cao Cao and Cao Xiu got in touch and were waiting for Zhang Xiu's surprise attack.
But after Zhang Xiu wandered around the Anyi area for a while, he shrank back again, missing whereabouts, so Cao Cao was waiting for a while.
The last news was that Zhang Xiu took the people north...
But the problem is that I'm really going back?
Or a fake shot?
Or have you exercised somewhere else?
These are all issues that Cao Cao must consider, and there is too little information that can be provided to him.
Cao Hong retreated and asked for help and food, leaving Cao Cao sitting in the tent speechless for a long time.
The failure of the branch is not a big deal, because since Cao Cao's war, he has not always had the upper hand on the local battlefield, but as long as he can win in the end, it will be fine.
Cao Hong was severely frustrated, and Cao Xiu was also exhausted. Now the strategy of luring the enemy to disperse and disrupting the opponent is basically declared a failure. What Cao Cao couldn't understand is that Fei Qian was really so sure?
He isn't afraid at all?
According to the description of the defeated soldiers who fled back from the front line, the Hussars and horses that appeared were indeed the elite cavalry that Cao Cao had the most troublesome. The elite cavalry with strict formations, skillful training, strong combat power and excellent equipment in the entire army.
Cao Cao couldn't help but sigh deeply.
If he had such a cavalry, why worry about the injustice of the world?
Unfortunately, such a powerful weapon fell into Fei Qian's hands.
Cao Hong's letter stated that he ambushed Sima Yi's cavalry with nearly three times his strength, but he could only defeat him in the end and failed to achieve the effect of complete annihilation. Although Cao Hong did not start this matter, Cao Cao knew what Cao Hong meant. Cao Hong was reminding Cao Cao that the cavalry was even more difficult than they had expected.
Cao Cao understood what Cao Hong meant, and couldn't help but feel angry and embarrassed.
Zhang Xiu is missing, and Fei Qian’s headquarters is still unknown.
Cao Cao originally wanted to lure Fei Qian into making mistakes, just like when he was facing Yuan Shao's powerful troops, he was waiting for Yuan Shao to make a mistake. But now Cao Cao suddenly discovered that his Montesquieu's military strategy seemed to have some problems...
Of course, at this moment, Cao Cao must not say it is his own problem.
Just as the ruling class never says that there are problems with their policies or officials, even if everyone knows that it is a problem and a big problem, when facing the emperor's new outfit, he still has to show that he looks so good.
Cao Cao actually vaguely understood what point his problem came from, but he could not admit it, so he could only make secret self-adjustment, and it was absolutely impossible to publicize it everywhere...
Simply put, Cao Cao began to correct and inspect himself.
As for the results found, I'm sorry, there is nothing to tell and will not be disclosed.
...
...
Yang Xiu was also thinking.
He got up, lifted the shed cover of the messenger's canopy car, and walked outside the car.
The cold wind at night made Yang Xiu's head, which was a little hot to think, gradually became a little cooler.
The bonfire looks so small in the wilderness.
The guard on duty stepped forward and asked if there was anything.
Yang Xiu waved his hand and said that it was just breathable, and there was nothing important.
The guard then retreated.
Yang Xiu walked forward two steps and stood outside the temporary camping site.
Yang Xiu could feel a faint gaze coming from behind.
That was the gaze of the Cao soldiers watching.
"Haha..." When the night wind blew, Yang Xiu felt a little cold.
There was also a piece of clothing in his car, a parting gift that Fei Qian gave him. The clothes were very warm, but he dared not wear them.
Yang Xiu understood that Fei Qian was demonstrating or showing his abundant military supplies.
And using this dress to use a plan...
Yang Xiu didn't want it at first.
However, what Fei Qian said made Yang Xiu bow his head and thank him and accept the robe.
"The envoy is to follow people and officials, and it means to be quick and fast. The heaven uses the time to send the earth to use materials to send the people, and the people use virtue to send the people. Since you think it is a envoy, why do you have to be private?"
Simply put, Yang Xiu came from Cao Cao and conveyed Cao Cao's meaning. Now that Yang Xiu returns, he also conveys Fei Qian's meaning. Then it doesn't matter whether the messenger's personal wishes want or not.
What is important is the responsibilities of the messenger.
There are naturally no entrainments in the robe.
All Fei Qian's plans were placed on the table.
Therefore, Yang Xiu had to bring it with him to show his openness and pretend that he could be just a robe...
"Yes, follow people, follow officials..."
Yang Xiu exhaled.
The son of the three young masters of four generations has now become a lackey!
Yuan Shang!
Yang Xiu!
Hahaha!
Yang Xiu wanted to laugh wildly, and laughed wildly towards the sky and the earth, but he finally just grinned and shook his skin.
The world has no way, and the universe is in disorder, what can we do?
This world should have been his, theirs!
He is the pride of heaven!
Fei Qian...
What was Fei Qiancai back then?!
Yang Xiu felt that he was no different from ordinary people. He had one nose and one mouth, two eyes and four legs, but the thumping waves caused new changes in the whole world that Yang Xiu could not understand.
Yang Xiu raised his head and tried hard to prevent the tears from falling in his eyes.
When he was in Luoyang, Yang Xiu didn't notice Fei Qian at all...
How glorious was Yang Xiu at that time?!
"The Luo River is gone slowly, and willow catkins fly at the bridge. The fishing boat sings the evening song, but only the old friends are sad..."
Yang Xiu chanted slowly, his voice floating in the air.
At the bonfire, a soldier from Cao's army moved his ears slightly.
...
...
Yecheng.
Cao Pi was very uneasy and always felt that something big was about to happen.
He calculated all the things that happened in these days and what he did, and then felt that he should have done nothing wrong...
What are the problems when distributing grain and grass?
no problem.
What's the problem with recruiting civil servants?
No problem, either.
Is there any problem with staring at all officials and ministers?
It's also OK.
So where is the problem?
Cao Pi couldn't think of it.
Anyway, it's not his own problem, it's definitely not his own problem.
But he vaguely felt that there was something wrong now.
This made Cao Pi feel chills in his heart.
Although Cao Cao concealed some unfavorable news on the front line intentionally or unintentionally, after Cao Pi asked, he learned a lot more or less.
The attack on Shangdang failed in a complete defeat, Hedong was defeated for a while, Youbei was beaten so hard that it could not raise its head. It seemed that everything was far from the original expectation.
Cao Pi seemed to feel that in the past few days in Yecheng, all the officials of all sizes were chattering, and some people were talking about something...
Cao Pi was panicked, but on the surface he still wanted to pretend to be in control.
Cao Pi had no contact with the cavalry before. Perhaps the closest time to the cavalry was when Fei Qian led his troops to join Cao Cao in Xu County.
At that time, although Cao Pi felt that the cavalry was quite powerful, he never expected that the cavalry would develop to this level today, which would cause such great harm to Shandong and Jizhou.
"The hidden abyss chants, the sea of ​​han appears, the Kun strikes the water and the mysterious sea changes..."
It seems to be a prophecy.
Is this a coincidence, or a layout?
Cao Pi hasn't thought it through yet.
He just knew that now, in Jizhou and Yuzhou, including other gentry children in Shandong, it seems that many people have some inexplicable relationships with Fei Qian...
It was like the guy secretly had something to do with Yuan Shao back then.
"Damn it...
Cao Pi gritted his teeth.
No matter what, since as the prince of the Cao family, we should naturally share the worries about the Cao family's foundation!
It would be fine if I didn’t know it before, but now that I know, I should do something instead of watching it!
"Have you not come yet?!" Cao Pi asked the guards outside.
The guard replied, "Oh...oh, here we come! Why don't you hurry up, the prince will summon you!"
Zhao Da hurriedly stepped forward to pay homage to Cao Pi.
『I want you to check...』
Cao Pi's voice fell down.
Zhao Da's face changed and he also replied in a low voice: "The prince... this is not easy to investigate..."
Cao Pi gritted his teeth.
How did Fei Qian contact people from Shandong? Or how did people from Shandong contact people from Shandong?
Cao Cao had clearly blocked the water and land roads and prohibited messengers from sending messages, but the people in Shandong would know more and faster than his prince!
It's even possible...
Someone in Shandong has long colluded with Fei Qian and is preparing to rebel?
There were many people in Yuzhou and Yanzhou who were flirting with Yuan Shao, which was a lesson from the past! It is hard to guarantee that these guys did not have any evil intentions in their hearts...
『A thorough investigation!』 Cao Pi's eyes were fierce, and he pulled a jade halberd from his body and threw it into Zhao Da's hand.『This is the moment of life and death! Just be sure to investigate!』
Zhao Da was stunned and bowed deeply.
"I am afraid... I will obey the orders of the prince..."
The voice seemed a little trembling, but if you look from the side, you can see Zhao Da hiding in the shadows while bowing down, showing some cruel smiles.
It was like a greedy jackal, seeing a rotten corpse.
...
...
The clouds rolled in the sky, and finally, Yang Xiu, whose legs and feet were already numb, slowly retreated out of Cao Cao's tent, and turned around the tent slightly, and sighed a long time.
The sigh seemed to contain deflation, helplessness, and a hint of panic.
There is only the place where he stands, but no place where he sits in the big tent.
This disappointed him a little, but it was a little bit natural.
No matter what, Yang Xiu still belongs to Heluo, is a surrendered general, a "follower" and a "follower" rather than a good general who can participate in the core military meetings...
Although I felt a little unhappy, this journey of the messenger was over no matter what.
It's finally over.
No, there is one more thing that Yang Xiu didn't say.
That dress.
Because Yang Xiu saw that there were many similar clothes in the big tent.
After all, Guanzhong and Shandong have already done a lot of trade, and whether the middle and senior officials of Cao's army are strategists or generals, they don't have that much money. Buy some good clothes to resist the cold weather here. What's the problem?
But if Yang Xiu took out the clothes in front of everyone...
Then something goes wrong.
Yang Xiu handed over his clothes to prove his innocence, so will other people hand over it?
If you hand over, it is inappropriate, and if you don’t hand over, it is also inappropriate.
Those people dare not hold a grudge against Cao Cao and Fei Qian, but for Yang Xiu...
Yang Xiu sighed slightly.
No matter what Cao Cao and Fei Qian are like, they are something that Yang can't afford to be provoked by now.
Although Yang Xiu knew that things were like this in the world, there were always some things in his heart that he could not let go.
It's like a thorn in the throat, but there's no way to tell it.
Yang Xiu stood there, calmed down slightly, and then slowly moved forward after he stood still with his expression and actions. He knew that he would have to hear the man's name many times.
Fei Qian.
Fei Qian...
Even if Yang Xiu didn't want to listen, he had to listen.
Follow the people, follow the officials...
Perhaps it is true, from now on... no, from earlier times before, the authority of this world has nothing to do with the Yang family. The Yang family can only be "following people and officials".
Yang Xiu couldn't help but shook his head and sighed.
The Yang guard who was waiting for the outside line came forward, but heard Yang Xiu's sigh and was stunned. Then he looked up at Cao Cao's tent and whispered: "Mr. Lang, this is...Prime Minister Cao..."
Yang Xiu waved his hand, "Nothing is wrong."
Looking back to find another chance to make it clear. After all, there were Cao soldiers in the queue to Pingyang. When Yang Xiu got the clothes, he immediately handed them over to Cao soldiers.
Whether there are entrainments or not, the Cao soldiers will naturally know.
So, it should be fine if you don’t mention this dress?
Yang Xiu said it was okay, but he felt a little confused.
The guard obviously didn't believe it, so he glanced at Cao Cao's tent. The person he was loyal to was not Cao Cao, but Yang and Yang Xiu.
Yang Xiu took two steps and found that the guard had not followed. He turned around and whispered: "Don't keep up!"
The guard responded and lowered his head, but the resentment on his face was obvious.
In the eyes of the guards, Yang Xiu worked hard to travel to Pingyang, but he didn't mention the credit, but he also worked hard, but now Yang Xiu seemed to be coaxed out...
Or if you use it, you will throw it aside.
Is Yang, the son of the three princes of the four generations, like a chamber pot?
Even if nothing else is mentioned, when Yang Xiu went to Pingyang, Duoduo risked death. Who knew if the cavalry would cut Yang Xiu with anger? Now that Yang Xiu is back, Cao Cao has neither reward nor compensation. He just said a few words and drove Yang Xiu out of the tent, and then the other counselors will stay in the tent.
Isn’t this obviously excluding Yang?
You should know that this time Cao Cao entered Guanzhong, Heluo also gave a lot of "support"!
The guards of Yang were deeply complaining.
Yang Xiu, who was walking in front, felt a little relieved of the heavy pressure. His work was indeed too tired. Not only was he physically exhausted, but he was also exhausted. So he just wanted to take a good rest at the moment, but he didn't notice the resentment expressions on the faces of the guards following him.
...
...
In Cao Cao's tent, Cao Cao narrowed his small eyes and frowned with thick eyebrows, and was speechless for a while.
On the left and right, Guo Jia and Dong Zhao were sitting, as well as a cadre and general.
Yang Xiu brought Fei Qian's reply.
Guo Jia was standing aside, staring at the reply written by Feng Feiqian on the table.
"If you want to fight, you will come and fight."
The pen tip is like a knife.
It made Cao Cao not feel very uncomfortable.
The lung tubes are a little painful.
The head hurts too.
In front of all the military generals and counselors, Cao Cao was embarrassed to rub it, so he could only frown and resist.
"The cavalry brought troops to the Western Regions and returned to Hedong. It can be seen that this son had planned it... In other words, before the cavalry sent troops to the Western Regions, he might have expected... Ming Gong would march into Guanzhong..." Guo Jia said slowly.
"Sacrifice! This is a bad thing... Don't be more ambitious and destroy your own prestige..." Dong Zhao said with some dissatisfaction, "The Ming Duke sent troops is a secret. Who can know it before sending troops?"
Guo Jia glanced at Dong Zhao and did not continue to explain. He seemed to understand naturally and did not understand anything. He didn't understand anything, which made Dong Zhao somewhat disdainful. He lifted up his beard and was about to say something, but suddenly he saw Cao Cao stretching out his hand...
『How to deal with this matter?!』
Cao Cao's voice was low and powerful.
No matter how much analysis is, the key is still to deal with it.
Judging from the reply to the war letter, Fei Qian did meet the challenge and boldly invited him.
But how to fight is still a huge problem.
If you only rely on a few words in writing, then you will rush straight to Pingyang, the kings and generals of both sides will be lined up under Pingyang, first scolding, explaining your righteousness, and then belittling each other. In the end, the three armies will be dispatched to fight each other. The winner is the father, and the loser is the son...
But this is the operation mode of the Spring and Autumn Period, and there is no need for the Warring States Period, let alone the present?
The war model at that time of the Spring and Autumn Period was a true gentleman.
Later, the "gentleman" was ruined by the "villain", which led to the absence of "gentleman". Whoever is the "gentleman" is the "gentleman", but it also has to be nice and beautiful in slogans and on the face, so more and more "hypocrites".
Cao Cao didn't mind being a hypocrite, but he was absolutely unwilling to be a Shabi. Therefore, he didn't believe a word about the reply written by Fei Qian, and he felt that this was the trap that Fei Qian created, waiting for him to jump down.
"Ming Gong, there must be ambush in Pingyang!" Dong Zhao said in a deep voice, "Now our army has not yet established itself. If we are greedy for merit and advance in order to fight in one battle, we will have many impatient troops, and we may fall into the will of the cavalry! It is better to continue to advance with a strong camp, swallow the whale and eat it, and settle Anyi first, and then enter Pingyang!"
After Dong Zhao finished speaking, most of the military generals nodded in agreement.
The news of Cao Hong’s failure cannot be concealed.
Then even Cao Hong could not withstand the beating of an unknown Sima Yi under the command of the cavalry, let alone the generals who did not even have a name? Sima Yi was so powerful. If he met Zhang Xiu, or other generals with some reputation under the cavalry, wouldn’t it be...
Of course, it is safer to follow Cao Cao's thigh.
Of course, this cannot be said. If you say it, you will be suspicious of your fear of war, so it must be called "safe".
But according to the original plan, can it really succeed?
Cao Cao had already developed suspicion.
Not only do you doubt yourself, but also everything.
After all, doubting others is easier than examining yourself, and it will also lead to a relief.
It’s not that the opponent is too strong, but that he is all teammates of the pigs on his side.
Guo Jia was on the side and guessed some of Cao Cao's thoughts. Guo Jia believed that what Cao Cao was worried about was that he felt that he had lost the soil, the familiar Shandong soil, so Cao Cao seemed to have lost his roots, revealing a little panic and uneasiness.
"Ming Gong, don't be defeated by the cavalry and aggressive generals." Guo Jia said slowly. He did not agree to attack Pingyang directly now, but the reason was different from Dong Zhao's. "The cavalry's actions are nothing but false and false..."
『Oh?』 Cao Cao really responded, 『Please speak filial piety."
"The tribes in Hedong have always changed their minds when they see the wind," Guo Jia said in a deep voice, "When they see profit, they are happy, and when they see strange thoughts, they have no fixed nature. Therefore, in Pingyang, there are people of various surnames... but they are not enough to rely on them."
"Isn't it enough?" Cao Cao's little eyes suddenly lit up.
Guo Jia nodded slowly, expressing his affirmation.
Chapter completed!
