The First Military Division of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 104 Xi Zhicai's Conjecture
"This must be deceitful." Xun You saw that there must be something wrong with Liu Bei's sending troops to the Pi, "Guan Hai's [-] soldiers and horses to help the Pi are false, but it is true to lure the Lord's troops!"

"Of course, Chen Ziming and others knew that the lord should send troops to ambush Xiapi's reinforcements. There must be a plan later. If my guess is correct, Zhao Yun's soldiers and horses followed behind were for ambush." ​​Cheng Yu immediately perfected Xun You's conjecture.

"When Guan Hai encountered an ambush, he should pretend to be defeated and lead our army to chase to the place where Zhao Yun's soldiers and horses were ambushed, and then attack and destroy the Lord's soldiers and horses." This should be the second plan.

"The spies reported that Liu Bei's army came out of Gouqu City and came to our army. The flag was unfurled and the dust was flying. I don't know how many soldiers and horses there are. Liu Bei has no soldiers and horses to transfer in Xuzhou." Xun You finished speaking and buried his head. Think about it.

"My lord, you can send a large army to ambush in Qiuling. After Guan Hai leads the army to attack, he will definitely lure our army to ambush and chase after him. After the lord can send a general to ambush, wait for Zhao Yun's troops to come out, and the lord's army can be killed." Come out, cooperate with the inside and outside, and annihilate Guan Hai's soldiers and Zhao Yun's soldiers." Cheng Yu immediately began to plot.

"Liu Bei's army came out together, with a lot of flags and dust. First, I didn't want my lord to know that Zhao Yun's [-] troops were mobilized. Unfortunately, my lord's spies noticed."

"Secondly, Liu Bei's army must have wanted to hold back most of the lord's troops and prevent the lord from sending too many troops to rescue the soldiers who were ambushed by Zhao Yun." Cheng Yu finished his plan and waited for Cao Cao to make a decision.

"Zhicai, what do you think?" Cao Cao didn't make a decision immediately, but asked Xi Zhicai beside him.

"My lord, Chen Ziming and Xu Yuanzhi are both great talents. This plan seems complicated, but how can we hide it from us? I was thinking, what is the next plan?" Xi Zhicai didn't believe Chen Ziming and Xu Shu at all. For his ability, he was thinking, would Chen Ziming and the others have a plan to wait for Cao Cao.

"Liu Bei only has [-] troops in Xuzhou, and now he has all the tricks, so how can he have a conspiracy? If Guan Hai and Zhao Yun are all bait, only the Lord's army is his goal." Xi Zhicai suspected that Chen Ziming's goal was Cao Cao's army, Guan Hai and Zhao Yun sent out are all bait.

Cheng Yu and Xun You's faces changed. If it was true what Xi Zhicai said, then Chen Ziming must have a backup.

"But there are only 13 soldiers and horses. If you go to the fourth, there are only [-] people today. How can we break our army?" Ten thousand, and Liu Bei's soldiers and horses who came to Xuzhou were all in the ditch, how dare they fight Cao Cao decisively.

Cao Cao can afford to fight, the big deal is not to use the tens of thousands of soldiers here, Liu Bei can be killed, so Xuzhou can be his, he is not afraid of fighting, he is afraid of Liu Bei, if Liu Bei has not been fighting with him, Cao Cao has long been with Liu Bei It's done.

"My lord, can there be Liu Bei's reinforcements around?" Xi Zhicai really couldn't think of any way for Liu Bei to defeat Cao Cao's tens of thousands of troops left behind. The only possibility was that Liu Bei had reinforcements.

As for Liu Bei wanting to fight Cao Cao to the death, Xi Zhi didn't believe that Chen Ziming and Xu Shu would do such a thing. After all, Cao Cao had more troops than Liu Bei, and Cao Cao could afford it.

"Zhi Cai is at ease. There are my spies in Xuzhou. Liu Bei's army is all in Guqu, and there will be no reinforcements. Moreover, there are no Liu Bei troops stationed in the plains that are in contact with Langya. Liu Bei's troops are all in Xi'an, Jinan, Le'an and other places. Just in case the soldiers of Wubo County and Yuan Benchu's soldiers of Jizhou." Cao Cao was still very concerned about the transfer of Liu Bei's troops, so he arranged a lot of spies to watch.

"Xi'an, Jinan?!" Xi Zhicai heard that Liu Bei's other troops were in the north, suddenly thought of something, and hurriedly got up and walked to the map.

Xun You and Cheng Yu's expressions also changed drastically. They looked at each other and stood up hastily.

"Military division, but Mount Tai has changed!?" Cao Cao saw the expressions of several great advisers, and immediately realized that the army in his hands is now in Xuzhou, and Mount Tai only has [-] soldiers and horses. Although it is not many, the defense should be fine. , after all, Liu Bei's army is in Xuzhou.

"My lord, is there any news from General Cao Ren of Mount Tai?" Xi Zhicai hurriedly asked Cao Cao.

"I just came to report the day before yesterday. Everything in Mount Tai is normal. Zhang Liao's troops in Xi'an have not moved, and there are many spies from Cao Ren around Xi'an. It should be fine." Cao Ren sits in Bo County, defending against the enemies of Qingzhou, and reports every five days.

"Furthermore, yesterday Wen Ruo documented that [-] troops had been mobilized from all over Yanzhou to reinforce Mount Tai. Wen Ruo ordered [-] soldiers to station at Juping City in the north of Mount Tai, and [-] were hoarded in Fenggao to aid the Quartet." I just received the document from Xun Yu yesterday and let some counselors see if there is any problem.

"Bo County has General Cao Ren's [-] soldiers and horses. It is safe to defend against the enemy of Xi'an. Juping is an important place in the north of Mount Tai. It is best to station a large army. [-] soldiers and horses are in Fenggao to help the four directions. In this way, Taishan County should be safe." Cheng Yu agreed with Xun Yu's arrangement very much.

"Juping should have stationed a large army to defend against the enemies of Qingzhou and Jinan. Counting the time, the [-] soldiers and horses should have arrived in Juping." Take Taishan County.

"No, Mount Tai may have been lost!" Xi Zhicai said to Cao Cao with a serious face.

"Why did the military commander say that?" Cao Cao's face changed drastically after hearing Xi Zhicai's words. It was not that Cao Cao was dissatisfied with Xi Zhicai, but because he knew Xi Zhicai's ability, and he would succeed in every strategy.

Xi Zhicai said that there is a problem with Taishan County, the possibility is very high. If there is a problem with Taishan, then his Yanzhou will be threatened. After all, only Taishan County has a large army in Yanzhou.

"Time! If I were Chen Ziming, if I wanted to plan Mount Tai, it would be better when the lord's army entered Xuzhou. It has been nearly two months now, and it may be too late for Wen Ruo to send reinforcements!" Xi Zhicai said, frowning.

"Military division, Liu Bei's troops are all here. Qingzhou can mobilize as many as [-] soldiers and horses. How can we capture Bo County." Cao Cao still has great confidence in Cao Ren's defense of Bo County. Cao Ren is definitely a rare and good general.

"My lord, do you still remember that last year, the four armies attacked Qingzhou together? How did the lord destroy the grain and grass hoarded in Bo County by the Qingzhou army?"

"It's the soldiers and horses of Jinan County. Jinan soldiers and horses entered from the north of Mount Tai, passed through Juping, and went straight to Bo County. Now Liu Bei's soldiers and horses are repeating the same trick. Bo County is difficult to defend." Xi Zhicai looked at the map of Taishan County helplessly and said slowly.

This was the only way he could think of to break through Mount Tai with a small number of troops. Since the conquest of the guards in Xuzhou, Xi Zhicai had always put his heart on Liu Bei's army. After all, there was a terrifying Chen Ziming beside Liu Bei.

Looking at it now, he was still ahead of Chen Ziming, because although Chen Ziming was in Xuzhou, his eyes were on Mount Tai, and he didn't pay attention to places outside Xuzhou at all.
