"Since I promised the general not to let the general come into contact with the former leader, I will not break my promise." Chu Nan looked at Lu Qian and said with a smile: "Although Nan is not a gentleman, he is also a person who honors his promise. Whether it is you or Gong Ming,
Even the surrendered troops here will not fight against Cao's army, so the general can rest assured."
After hearing this, Lu Qian's expression softened a lot, and he clasped his fists and said, "Thank you so much, sir. I wonder what your orders are?"
"General, go to Cao Jun's camp and tell him everything about it." Chu Nan looked at Lu Qian and said, "You can say anything, there is no need to be taboo."
Well……
Lu Qian looked at Chu Nan in astonishment, wondering what kind of medicine Chu Nan was selling in his gourd, and frowned: "Do you really mean what you said?"
"Seriously, please ask the general to leave early. The day after tomorrow at the latest, Yuan Tan's troops will cross here and go straight to Jiyin." Chu Nan nodded and smiled: "By then, they will have no hope.
, this move can also be regarded as helping the general repay Cao Jun’s past kindness."
Lu Qian nodded silently. He didn't understand what Chu Nan wanted to do, but since Chu Nan took the initiative to speak, he naturally would not object. He immediately cupped his fists and saluted Chu Nan: "Thank you, envoy! After this incident, no matter what the consequences are, Qian
I am willing to serve you!"
"Go." Chu Nan waved his hand and said with a smile.
"Farewell!" Lu Qian agreed, turned around and left, ordered a group of men and horses, launched a battle formation overnight, and headed straight to Jiyin. Taishan County is close to Jiyin, and the distance is not too far. Even if it reaches the front line, the sun rises
Lu Qian could also arrive before.
"Lord, aren't we going to form an alliance with Yuan Tan?" Zhou Cang said as he watched Lu Qian leave.
"Yes." Chu Nan nodded and said, "We need to join forces to deal with Cao Jun."
"Then why..." Zhou Cang was even more puzzled as to whether this was considered betraying his allies.
"I let him get Ji Yin without a single blow. Do you think I look like a good person?" Chu Nan said with a smile.
Zhou Cang: "..."
Facing a person who never cared about face or brains, Zhou Cang didn't know what to say.
Xue Ti smiled and added: "And our covenant doesn't say we can't tip off the enemy, right?"
Zhou Cang looked at Xue Ti in astonishment. He thought he was an honest person like himself, but he thought he was also a dirty person. He felt inexplicably sympathetic to Yuan Tan.
"After Yuan Tan leaves, I will go to the front line. Brother Xiaowei will temporarily take charge of the position of Taishan Governor on my behalf." Chu Nan looked at Xue Ti and said, "Pei Yuanshao will be left to Brother Xiaowei."
Pei Yuanshao has been strengthened many times by Chu Nan. Although he is a blank slate general, Pei Yuanshao can now take on some important tasks. Although he is not as talented as Zhou Cang, his brain is more flexible than Zhou Cang. After the upgrade, his ability to command troops has also improved.
, there is still room for improvement in the future. Unlike Zhou Cang, although his talents are good, when his three talents are improved to the extreme, he is also a guard like Xu Chu.
Just be your own guard obediently.
Xue Ti nodded when he heard this. He already understood Chu Nan's ambition and knew what to do next.
Early the next morning, Chu Nan and Yuan Tan had breakfast together in a friendly atmosphere, and then discussed the details of sending troops. Yuan Tan was ready to send troops immediately, but was stopped by Chu Nan.
"Brother Xiansi, don't be anxious. I have sent people to inform the front line and coordinate well to avoid misunderstandings and affecting the friendship between our families." Chu Nan stopped Yuan Tan and persuaded with a smile.
"Yes." Yuan Tan nodded and said with a smile: "Zi Yan is determined. After this battle, we are willing to be friends forever!"
"This is natural." Chu Nan smiled and nodded.
The two of them each had their own secrets, but their faces were filled with smiles and they looked like close friends. Zhou Cang felt a little nauseous at the sight.
"Zi Yan, you guard... are not in good health?" Yuan Tan felt that Zhou Cang was a little awkward, and while Zhou Cang was out, he looked at Chu Nan with confusion.
"There have been frequent assassinations during this period, and he hasn't slept for more than ten days." Chu Nan sighed.
"He is truly a righteous man. I didn't expect that Ziyan would have such loyal and brave people around him!" Yuan Tan said with emotion.
【It would be a pity to follow you!】
After Zhou Cang came back, he obviously felt that Yuan Tan's attitude towards him had improved a lot, and he always asked questions, which made Zhou Cang feel strange.
Dongping, Shouzhang
Cao Jun's camp, Xia Houyuan, Cao Ren, Cao Hong, Cao Chun, Yu Jin, Le Jin and other Cao Jun generals gathered together. In fact, the territory that Cao Jun now occupies is not only Dongjun and Jiyin, but also Dongping County, and Dongjun and Jiyin.
Many places have already fallen into the hands of the Xuzhou Army.
Cao Pi, Cao Zhi, and Cao Zhang brothers sit on the throne. Cao Cao is dead, and Cao Jun must have a backbone. With the support of Xun You, Xia Houyuan, and Cao Ren, the generals have appointed Cao Pi as the leader.
At this moment, the soldiers of Cao's army were leaving and surrendering. There were still about 50,000 troops gathered with Shouzhang, preparing for a decisive battle with Xuzhou's army here. If they won, they would not only be able to take back the lost cities of the three counties, but also
Taking advantage of the situation, he recaptured Taishan County and other places, and continued to compete with Lu Bu for the Central Plains.
If you lose... it's all over.
"Zhang Liao and Gao Shun are already extremely difficult to deal with, and now there are two more generals, Huang Zhong and Wei Yan. They killed several of our generals in succession the day before yesterday." Cao Ren sighed and said, "If we can't reverse the defeat in this battle, I'm afraid I won't even be able to survive."
Zhang can’t hold on any longer!”
Xia Houyuan smiled and said: "Zixiao need not be so worried. Although our army lost a few cities, the losses of the Xuzhou army were not small. Unfortunately, Zhang Liao and Gao Shun were too cautious. They were determined to confront us head-on.
In this case, we no longer need to take chances, our army is a master of hundreds of battles, how can we be afraid of him!? Shouzhang will definitely be able to defend it!"
Cao Ren also understood that he should not say dejected words at this time, but after the news of the fall of Xuchang came out, the morale of Cao Ren's army was low, and many generals defected. If Lu Bu had not acted tyrannically, many civil servants would have left. Speaking of which,
For this, we have to thank Lu Bu for his so-called New Deal, which gave them a chance to breathe.
Cao Pi turned to look at Xun You: "Mr. Gongda, is there any way to break this situation now?"
Although he is young, over this period of time, Cao Pi has become somewhat like a king, and he behaves with a calmness that does not belong to his age. While everyone is happy, they can't help but feel sad. If it were not forced by the current situation, Cao Pi would
At your age, you should study harder and practice martial arts instead of worrying about the current situation like people like them.
Xun You sighed and said: "My lord, now our army must win a battle to reverse the morale of the army. In addition, we must hold on. If nothing unexpected happens, Gongsun Zan will be overthrown by Duke Yuan in the north in the near future. We only need to wait until Duke Yuan returns to the army.
We can ask Duke Yuan for help later."
"Yes, if Mr. Yuan can take action, Lu Bu now has a new victory in the Central Plains and his foundation is not yet stable. He will definitely be able to pacify the Central Plains in one battle!" Many counselors in the hall also agreed.
A shadow flashed across Cao Pi's face. Yuan Shao sent his troops south and was indeed able to contain Lu Bu, but did they still have a chance? To put it more bluntly, could he continue to be the lord?
The answer is yes. Apart from the Cao clan, most of them will defect to Yuan Shao. As for his life and death, how many people care?
With a forced smile on his face, Cao Pi nodded and said, "Sir, what you said is true. Unfortunately, the morale of the Xuzhou Army is so high and the food and fodder are endless. It is not easy for our army to win a battle."
Now the four generals facing them have a strength of close to 80,000, and they are all considered elites. Huang Zhong is unparalleled in bravery. Previously, Xia Houyuan, Cao Ren, and Cao Hong only managed to draw with them when they joined forces.
Zhang Liao was both wise and brave, and he almost controlled the overall situation. After several ambushes, Zhang Liao relied on his bravery and command to break out of the encirclement and turn defeat into victory.
Not to mention Gao Shun's trapped camp, when he was in Peijun before, Xun You planned a siege during his retreat. Tens of thousands of ambush troops were added to Yu Jin. Le Jin just couldn't break through his 800 men, and he insisted until Zhang Liao came to help. They had to
withdraw.
And Wei Yan, who fought fiercely with Cao Hong several times, was evenly matched!
With these four people, it is difficult to defeat them!
"It's not impossible." Xun You smiled.
"Sir, if you have any clever ideas, tell me quickly!" Cao Ren's eyes lit up when he heard this. They really needed a victory to restore their low morale.
"Although these four people are not weak, their identities are unknown!" Xun You said with a smile.
"Sir, what do you mean by this?" Cao Pi asked with a frown. He didn't find anything wrong with the other party's leadership.
"Zhang Liao and Gao Shun were each responsible for an army. They faced off against the two generals Miaocai and Zixiao respectively, and they had no subordinate relationship. Huang Zhong and Wei Yan were reinforcements. Logically speaking, they should be vassalized by the two generals.
However, as far as I know, these two men in Lu Bu's army belong to Chunan rather than Lu Bu. They belong to different generals from Zhang Liao and Gao Shun. Although they are loyal to Lu Bu's forces at the same time, they are not under their control.
It can be seen that in the previous battles, although these four generals cooperated with each other, they were fundamentally fighting on their own. If they can be divided and transformed, our army can gather elites to defeat them one by one, and at least one or two can be gained!" Xun You!
smiled.
Having said that, it is not easy to really do this. However, the opponent's problem is very obvious. It is just because these four generals are too strong that this shortcoming has never exploded.
What they have to do now is to cause differences within each other. Once these differences arise, the disadvantages of unclear ownership will emerge. No one will be convinced by the other. By then, they will be able to separate them!
"Sir, what you said is true, but how do you separate it?" Cao Pi suddenly realized that he didn't expect that the other party had such a big loophole.
Xun You stroked his beard and thought for a moment, then said in a deep voice: "This matter is not difficult to say."
"Please teach me, sir!" Cao Pi quickly bowed.
"My lord, no." Xun You stood up quickly and said, "You can try to contact the nobles from all over the country, raise troops to cause chaos in their rear areas, disturb their food routes, and try first to see if they can cause differences between the other parties. Whoever is responsible for calming down the rear areas will definitely not get the credit.
The battlefield on the front line is huge, so differences will naturally arise."
This is also the reason why Xun You has never used this strategy. Previously, the four generals fought separately, but now they are gathered together, and this shortcoming is exposed.
"That's it." Cao Pi nodded and was about to give an order when he saw Niu Jin, one of Cao Ren's men, striding in. He saluted Cao Pi and said, "My lord, Lu Qian, the cavalry commander of Taishan County, wants to see you!"
