Three Kingdoms: Cao Ying's mastermind, from nine to five

Chapter 33 Both Advance and Retreat Are Losses!Let go and forget it!
"What Zhicai wants to say," Cao Cao said with a smile.

But the look in Xi Zhicai's eyes is already speculative.

Zhicai has always known his own mind and is good at speculating. If it is said to use strategies, he often comes up with strange schemes, and he often has many whimsical ideas.

Now it seems that it is likely that the thoughts collided together.

"My lord, why don't you take this opportunity to design to lure Xuzhou soldiers out of the city?" Cao Cao's face immediately brightened with satisfaction when he heard this.

"Hahaha! It's not different from what I thought!"

Cao Cao was immediately full of energy, and his mind was no longer entangled. Before Xi Zhicai's words just now, he was indeed worried and troubled by his strategy of employing people.

At that time, when I heard that Zhang Miao and Chen Gong were colluding internally and externally to cause chaos in Yanzhou, the sense of depression in my mind was actually greater than the anger and panic.

Because of these two people, he treats them sincerely.

Zhang Miao is even his best friend, and he was with Yuan Shao when he was young. The three of them got along well and got along very well, but he never thought that such an old friend would choose to raise troops and make trouble when he left Yanzhou to fight. .

Moreover, Juancheng was almost captured, and the family members of the Cao clan would almost all fall into his hands and be fish for others.

Therefore, Cao Cao is doubting himself, whether he should use others to observe, always be on guard, and from now on, he can no longer trust others.

The more I think about it, the more I feel like I want to change, so that there is suspicion and hesitation.

However, after Xi Zhicai said something, Cao Cao regained his spirit.

Now the mind is clear.

"Decree that after three days, the soldiers and horses will retreat for [-] miles, hide in the mountains and forests, occupy the main roads with good soldiers, select the old utensils in the camp and discard them in the mountains, and don't use the luggage. Xiao Pei's direction."

"In addition, let Zi Xiao, Zi He, Zi Lian, Wen Ze and Li Dian all retreat, close to the Chinese army, and abandon several cities in the north and south."

"This time, I dare to predict that Tao Qian will definitely not let go of this opportunity!"

After all, Cao Jun has suppressed Xiapi for too long, and if he doesn't come out, the army's morale will definitely be messed up, which is no different from defeat.

Coupled with the rumors in the city, this Xiapi seems to be strong, but it is no longer so strong.

Tao Qian is a man who has experienced many battles, so he must understand the principles of military power and military spirit.

If he refuses to come out, then after a few days, when soldiers and horses come to attack again, he will definitely be able to take down the city in one go.

Because at that time, it can be said that there is no need to worry about the future, and they will attack the city with all their strength and fight bloody battles to the death.

It will make these Xuzhou Danyang soldiers who have already lost their morale even more frightened!
……

Order of the Armed Forces.

They gradually retreated within three days, and the general camp continued to retreat. Such movements were actually detected by Tao Qian on the first day.

At that time, he didn't know why he had to withdraw.

Tao Qian even thought that reinforcements were coming, but upon hearing the news, Yuan Shao, Gongsun Zan, Yuan Shu and others all refused to send troops at the same time, and there were only a few who could help.

It seems that Sun Qian only invited Liu Bei, and now he has just arrived from Qingzhou, and he will reach Tan County in a few days, but Liu Bei's troops are only 3000 to [-], which cannot deter Cao Cao.

As for why he came, Tao Qian still had no time to think about it.

At this moment, he was troubled by yet another news.

Civil strife broke out in Cao Cao's Yanzhou!
Lu Bu is attacking Puyang, and it seems that he is also fighting internally. Juancheng, Dong'e, and Fanxian have been sealed off for three days!

The land of Chenliu is also using troops!
As a result, Tao Qian couldn't hold back his excitement.

Fighter.

The reinforcements he was waiting for did not come, but he waited for such an excellent opportunity.

"No wonder Cao Cao will withdraw," Tao Qian sighed in a low voice, lost in thought in front of the case, suddenly looked up at the person who came to report, "Are you sure there is civil strife?!"

"Absolutely! Cao Cao's civil strife has broken out in Yanzhou, and all his soldiers and horses are attacking Xuzhou, but less than 1 people are guarding the border. When the villain gets a report, Yanzhou has already been sealed off!"

"Many people dare not enter and leave the city at will!"

"Lord!"

Cao Bao, who was standing beside him, stood up and clasped his fists immediately, "This must be a good time! We should send troops immediately to block Cao Cao's way, so that he cannot return to Yanzhou."

"In this way, he can be dragged into a dilemma. Invisibly, it will consume his army's morale and boost my morale. After that, Xiapi will definitely be able to defend, and even get back the lost city!"

"My lord, this matter needs to be considered again," Chen Deng said abruptly, but he was born too fair and handsome, and he was very young.

Generals in the army have always been disdainful for such an appearance, and because the two parties belonged to different factions, it attracted a lot of ridicule.

Cao Bao snorted coldly and said: "Yuanlong is good at politics, but not good at marching and fighting. Our army has been defending the city for several days. The morale of Cao's army is high and the momentum is huge. There is an endless supply of siege troops, which has already lowered the morale of the generals."

The most important thing is that Cao Cao's army is not an unrighteous army, but because of the rumors in the hearts of the people and soldiers, they are unwilling to work hard.

To put it bluntly, Cao Cao's proclamation is very effective. Many soldiers also feel that they have harmed their parents and suffered this battle, but they still have to work hard to defend the city. Their hearts are already extremely unbalanced.

It's just that Cao Bao couldn't say anything in front of Tao Qian.

"If we don't attack at this time, we have to abandon the city to save our troops and retreat to Tan County."

But Tan County does not have such a high city wall, and morale will be even lower at that time.

"Yuanlong, even if you don't lead the army, you should understand that defeat is like a landslide. Once the soldiers' morale collapses, it will really be like a landslide, which is irreparable."

"General..."

Chen Deng's expression was indifferent, his hands were still folded in his sleeves, he bowed and said calmly: "I don't know the art of war, and I have never led troops, but I understand that it is an advantage to defend against danger. Although it is difficult now, it is possible Reluctantly keep it."

"If you go out of the city, you are looking for changes. The good or bad of the variables is unpredictable. If Cao Jun is forced to abandon Yanzhou and attack Xu, wouldn't it be counterproductive?"

"From my point of view, it is still in accordance with the original policy, waiting for help."

"Waiting for help?!" Cao Bao blew his beard, and a look of contempt appeared on his slightly rough face. He stared at Chen Deng and said, "We can rely on ourselves now, why do we need help?"

"Furthermore, how can there be any reinforcements!? At the beginning of the alliance, it was agreed to be a big man, but now it is nothing more than fighting for territory and doing its own thing. The rest of the princes said it well. At this time, who is willing to come to help?!"

"There are no reinforcements at all!"

When Cao Bao shouted angrily, his anger had already risen, but in his desperation, one sentence touched Tao Qian.

At this moment, Tao Qian fell into deep thought.

Yes, you can rely on yourself now, why wait for the impossible reinforcements.

At least by attacking, the morale can be restored a little.

Otherwise, it's really just waiting to die.

"attack!"

Tao Qian's complexion was serious, the kindness and kindness he used to have when he was in power in the court disappeared, replaced by the seriousness and majesty of many years of fighting, and it appeared in his eyes that he was full of vigor and vigor when he was young.

"Cao Cao guarded the main roads with soldiers and horses, and the Chinese army retreated. Everyone, this is a real retreat, and it is by no means a suspicious soldier, because he can't afford to gamble."

"He must try his best to retreat to Yanzhou in order to preserve his territory, otherwise he will have nowhere to go. Cao Cao is panicked."

"In this way, the whole army should charge forward, and the soldiers and horses should move together to take Cao Jun! This battle must be won!"

"This is a god-given opportunity, the battlefield is changing rapidly, the hero should be brave and diligent!!"

Tao Qian waved his hand and immediately ordered to send troops!war!
……

Tao Jun went out of the city and pursued. After dozens of miles, he was surrounded by Cao Cao's ambush, and most of them were killed or injured.

"how so……"

In the main hall of the Yamen Office, Tao Qian heard the news that the Danyang soldiers were killed so that their helmets and armor were thrown away, and their teeth were almost gnawed.

Go out and be ambushed, and fall into Cao Cao's treacherous tricks!If you don't attack, you will lose your morale, and you will also surrender the city...

What can I do? !This Xuzhou City, is it really going to be handed over to others! ?

The rest retreated back to Xiapi and guarded the city gate, but this time, Cao Cao's army approached the city and directly pushed the camp another ten miles.

Threat day and night!

It can be said that the guards of Xiapi City were out of breath.
