    w "Situ Wangyun, the veteran ministers of the three dynasties, are highly virtuous and respected; the protector of the saint is still respected by the world. 144 Book! Court  Wang Situ brought the imperial edict to persuade Liu Bin to stop the army, and Liu Bin called himself a loyal minister of the Han Dynasty.  I will definitely not refuse." Man Chong said bluntly.

    Wang Yun?  Cao Cao had a question mark in his heart.

    To be honest, Cao Cao still recognized and looked down upon Man Chong's words before.  But now he is somewhat disappointed with Man Chong.

    For no other reason, Cao Cao had already thought things through before he said anything.  At that time, Cao Cao had already realized that this matter could be resolved through diplomatic means.  So Cao Cao felt a little regretful at that time, and he almost turned green with regret.

    Cao Cao felt extremely regretful: Why didn't he settle the matter in a low profile when Liu Bin was raising troops to investigate?  Although Sili was not a rich man, those settlement points were all his hard work over the years, and they were all gone in one fell swoop.  Even if Sili has to come back again.  Then we have to raise grain and grass from Yanzhou and Xuzhou to support Sili.  The gain outweighs the loss.

    "However, although Cao Cao regretted it just now, Cao Cao is a man who does great things, and his superficial efforts must not be leaked.  That's why Cao Cao kept silent at that time.

    Later, everyone under Cao Cao came up with suggestions one after another, and Cao Cao was very pleased with this. Although what these people said was not necessarily correct, they were all on the sidelines.

    And Man Chong¡¯s proposal was even more approved by Cao Cao.  According to Man Chong's strategy, the possibility of suggesting that Liu Bin withdraw his troops is definitely more than 80% certain.  After all, Liu Bin had already conquered Guandu the year before.  After receiving the imperial edict, he also retreated.  Where there is one there are two.  Therefore, there is absolutely no problem with the possibility of Liu Bin withdrawing his troops this time.

    However, Cao Cao looked down upon Man Chong's inference that Liu Bin sent troops because he was assassinated.

    Although Cao Cao did not have a close relationship with Liu Bin.  But after all, when Cao Cao was putting down the Yellow Turban Rebellion, he got along with Liu Bin for a long time.  The first time Liu Bin bought and sold slaves, it was Cao Cao who succeeded.  Cao Cao still has a certain understanding of Liu Bin.  It is absolutely impossible for Liu Bin to come to fight with him for some vain honor and disgrace.  As the saying goes: If there is no benefit, you can¡¯t afford to be early.  Then Liu Bin must be driven by some interests, so he would go to war in such a big way.

    Therefore, Cao Cao still recognized Xi Zhicai's analysis regarding Liu Bin's purpose of sending troops.

    After all, the current world situation is where he and Liu Bin are adjacent.  Apart from Guandu, there are Sili and Xuzhou.  And that Sili.  To put it bluntly, it's a trap.  Apart from being of some use to himself and the Xiliang Army, it was given to Liu Bin for free, and Liu Bin would never want it.  As for Guandu, which has been built by himself, it is like an iron barrel. Liu Bin's attack there is definitely not worth the gain.  So that's what's left.  Then only Xuzhou can still provide Liu Bin with some benefits.  Therefore, Liu Bin's purpose of attacking east and west must be to get Xuzhou.

    But.  Although Cao Cao fully understood Liu Bin's strategic vision.  But Cao Cao was helpless.

    Although Xuzhou was captured by Cao Cao with real swords and guns, it was precisely because he killed too many people when he attacked Xuzhou that it aroused strong dissatisfaction among the aristocratic families in Xuzhou. Normally, these people would not dare to show their dissatisfaction.  , but the resentment in my heart has already formed!  Although Cao Cao wanted to completely deal with these people, the current crisis in the world meant that he had to be on guard against other princes.  He really didn't experience distraction, and he didn't want to let any internal trouble happen to him at this juncture.  So I can only tolerate it for the time being!  There are also some ministers under Liu Bin's tree who came from Xuzhou. Behind the connections in Xuzhou, if Liu Bin really wants to attack Xuzhou, the people in Xuzhou will definitely help Liu Bin and not Cao Cao!

    As the saying goes: Know yourself and your enemy and you can fight a hundred battles without danger.  The number of Liu Bin's soldiers and horses has always been the biggest suspense in Cao Cao's mind.  Although Liu Bin repeatedly claimed that his military strength was only 500,000.  But for all the signs of troop mobilization, it can't be this number.  Especially when Liu Bin captured Guandu with half a million troops the year before last.  Huang Zhong under Liu Bin also defeated the Xiliang Army and the coalition of Yuan Shu and others at Shouyang Mountain with a force of 500,000, which further illustrates this problem.

    Therefore, after Cao Cao knew that Liu Bin wanted to seize Xuzhou, Cao Cao really did not dare to judge how many troops Liu Bin would use to implement this plan.  And it's exactly what Dong Zhao said.  Although Liu Bin is now using the strategy of making noise in the east and attacking in the west.  But it absolutely cannot be ignored.

    The soldiers and horses gathered in Guandu and Sili may turn from imaginary to real at any time.  If it causes Si Li to ignore the troops and horses.  Now the Hulao Pass has been breached.  Those soldiers and horses can definitely cut off the connection between Yanzhou and Guandu.  When the time comes, Liu Bin will have his troops to attack the defenders of Guandu from both front and rear.The defense of Guandu is not only external but not internal.  Therefore, the possibility of being easily broken by Liu Bin is not impossible.  As long as Guandu is broken and Liu Bin drives straight into it, Chen Liu and Xudu will be left to their own devices.  By then it will not just be Xuzhou¡¯s problem.  It's a big problem that all Cao Cao's forces are destroyed.

    And Cao Cao¡¯s own family knew their own affairs.  My own military strength is really only more than 550,000 soldiers and horses. There is no need to consider using the 200,000 soldiers and horses currently defending Guandu.  Xuzhou came here with force, and it cannot be used casually to frighten the 100,000 soldiers and horses there.  There should be 50,000 soldiers scattered across various places. In order to supervise the local settlements and maintain local security, they cannot be recovered.  Among them, there is no need to consider the 20,000 people who stayed in Sili.  All must have been reimbursed.  As for the 50,000 soldiers and horses defending Zhang Xiu and Yuan Shu, they cannot be moved. Who can guarantee that those unjust people will not take the opportunity to embarrass themselves.  In this way, he only had 150,000 soldiers and horses left, and to deal with Sili, he needed 100,000 soldiers and horses. In this way, Xu Du was left with 50,000 soldiers.  And these 50,000 people are absolutely unable to move.  Not to mention this is fundamental.  It is absolutely necessary for soldiers and horses to stay behind.  Just the remnants of the Yellow Turbans who had just been conquered by Ma Chao would have been a huge disaster if they were not suppressed by tens of thousands of direct descendants.

    Therefore, how could Cao Cao not feel guilty for this.

    So when Man Chong offers advice.  Cao Cao will be very happy.  If you can't wait to raise your eyebrows, look at the present first.  Anyway, Xuzhou has never been under Cao Cao's control.  Of course Cao Cao wanted to resolve the immediate crisis first.  We will find ways to deal with Xuzhou later when it becomes stable.

    But Cao Cao was extremely dissatisfied with Wang Yun, the official messenger proposed by Man Chong.  Although Man Chong suggested that Wang Yun should persuade Liu Bin, it was very reasonable and correct.  But this Wang Yun was a person who made Cao Cao extremely worried.  Although Wang Yun's performance in the court in recent years was very ordinary, but when Dong Zhuo controlled the emperor, Wang Yun was also very ordinary, but in the end it was Wang Yun who got the emperor out.  This forced Cao Cao to be careful about Wang Yun.

    Cao Cao thought to himself: Nowadays, there are officials of all sizes in the court.  Except for these confidants, other officials are unreliable.  Although those officials have all been evaded and controlled by themselves.  But their official positions are still there, and they still have some influence.  If Wang Yun gets the limelight because of this, he will dominate the court.  That was quite a blow.  And now it is clear that as long as he gives Liu Bin a step up, and at the same time let Liu Bin take advantage.  Then Liu Bin will definitely retreat.  It's the same whether you use Wang Yun or not.  Why bother using Wang Yun?

    Thinking of this, Cao Cao sighed: He still lacks someone who can make an overall plan.  Among the people under his command now, Cheng Yu is good at strategy and can see Liu Bin's strategy of seizing the east and attacking the west.  Dong Zhao was good at political strategy and could see the dangers that had to be deserved. Dramatists were good at calculation and could see that Liu Bin was actually taking Xuzhou. Man Chong was good at diplomacy and could think of ways to force him to retreat with righteousness.  Dao can be said to be outstanding among people.  However, they only saw one aspect, and their grasp of the overall situation was still somewhat poor.

    Cao Cao sighed secretly, but on the surface, Cao Cao showed a satisfied smile.  Said: "All the gentlemen are indeed of unparalleled talent. Under the discerning eye, Liu Bin's tricks are undetectable. Just to dissuade Liu Bin, there is no need for Mr. Lao Wang. Zixiao has dealt with Liu Bin and has some friendship.  The purpose is to persuade Liu Bin, and Zixiao is qualified for the job. And we all know Liu Bin's tricks. But we can't make Liu Bin feel better."

    After saying this, Cao Cao sneered.

    Although Cao Cao sent Cao Ren as envoy to Youzhou to dissuade Liu Bin from marching in the name of the emperor, Cao Cao still sent Xiahou Dun to send troops to regain the lost territory.

    Xiahou Dun led 100,000 troops and marched towards Sili with Cao Hong as the vanguard.

    On this day, Cao Hong's troops and horses had arrived eighty miles outside Hulao Pass. Cao Hong sent an order to stop the troops and set up camp.

    Zhao Shen, Cao Hong's deputy general, asked: "General, we are not far from Hulao Pass. Why not drive some distance and set up camp outside Hulao Pass. This will also prepare the camp for General Xiahou."

    Hearing this, Cao Hong felt aggrieved. Why didn't Cao Hong want to rush to Hulao Pass to make great achievements?  But before leaving, Cao Cao gave him many instructions.  Warn yourself to use your troops slowly.  Just follow Liu Bin's retreating troops and take Sili back intact.  There must be no conflict with Liu Bin's army to avoid a decisive battle with Liu Bin.

    Cao Hong can¡¯t understand.  If you are so afraid of a decisive battle with Liu Bin's troops, then why send troops to counterattack Sili? Why not just give this desolate Sili to Liu Bin?  Save yourself from being a boring pioneer.

    But an order is an order.  Especially Cao Cao's order, even though Cao Hongzai couldn't understand it.  Cao Hong will still notContinue to implement it hesitantly.  Therefore, when Cao Hong heard Zhao Shen's inquiry, he immediately glared and shouted: "Don't be nagging. I, the general, have my own reasons for making arrangements."

    Zhao Shen was immediately too frightened to speak.  While Cao Hong arranged for all the soldiers to camp and go down to the stronghold, he also sent out a large number of sentinels to patrol and guard the four sides, so as to prevent the other party from stealing the camp and robbing the stronghold.

    But deep down in Cao Hong's heart, he was really looking forward to Liu Bin's troops coming to steal the camp and rob the stronghold. In that case, Cao Hong would be able to fight a good battle without violating Cao Cao's orders.

    ¡°Maybe it was Cao Hong¡¯s sincerity that moved God.  Cao Hong had just sat down in the big tent that had been set up, and he hadn't had time to rest yet.  A detective horse rushed into the tent like the wind and reported to Cao Hong: "General, something bad happened. Youzhou soldiers and horses came to attack the camp and are rushing here."

    "Well done!" Cao Hong was overjoyed when he heard this, and shouted quickly: "The people are coming, prepare their horses and carry their swords. I, the general, will fight in person." After saying this, Cao Hong strode out of the camp.

    Halfway through, Cao Hong suddenly remembered something, so he turned to the scout and asked, "How many soldiers and horses came from Youzhou to attack the camp?"

    "There are about three hundred people back to the general."

    "How much?" Cao Hong didn't react for a moment.  He was so dazed that he fell onto the ground.

    "General! The number of soldiers and horses coming from Youzhou should be about three hundred." The scout did not dare to neglect.  He quickly replied to Cao Hong loudly.

    Cao Hong was discouraged at this moment.  Isn't it a joke that three hundred people come to attack your vanguard camp?  After all, my vanguard camp is also a large force of 20,000 soldiers and horses.  The three hundred people who came to attack the camp were not enough to grind their teeth.

    Cao Hong couldn't help but secretly wonder: Could it be that Liu Bin could discuss it with his lord?  One is not allowed to take the initiative, and is asked to send them off politely.  A sporadic troop sent gifts and made a pretense of retreat.  What is all this about?

    But before Cao Hong could regain his composure, Youzhou's troops arrived.  The number of these soldiers and horses in Youzhou is really the same as what Cao Hong's scouting horses said.  That's about three hundred people.  But these three hundred people were not pretending to retreat as Cao Hong thought.

    These three hundred people actually came to attack the camp.  But the way these three hundred people attack the camp is different from that of ordinary people.

    First, these three hundred troops.  That's Isshiki's cavalry.  The speed was so fast that it raised dust all over the sky.  Moreover, there is a torch on their saddles, and from a distance, it looks like a galloping fire dragon moving quickly.  Cao Hong's scouting horse was seen from a distance.  He immediately came to report to Cao Hong, but in just two words, Cao Hong had not yet walked out of the camp.  These Youzhou cavalry.  Then we are close to Cao Hongyingpan.

    Secondly, although these three hundred people came to attack the camp.  But they did not storm the camp gate, but surrounded the area within a stone's throw of Cao Hong's camp.  Speeding quickly.

    The last three hundred people didn¡¯t just come to run around.  They all fired their bows and arrows while running at high speed.  The range of Youzhou's bows and arrows is half farther than the range of Cao Cao's bows and arrows.  And the arrows shot out are not ordinary carved feather arrows.  Instead, it was a rocket with a piece of grease-soaked cotton wool wrapped around the arrowhead.

    After these rockets were ignited by torches, they shot into Cao Hong's camp, causing chaos in Cao Hong's camp.  Although the camp Cao Hong temporarily set up was not crudely built, it was not a fortress made of earth and stone either.  The entire camp.  They are all made of wood and leather.  These things are most afraid of fire.  But now the three hundred people in Youzhou neither fight nor make trouble, they just focus on setting fire to Cao Hong's camp.  Can Cao Hong's camp be kept from chaos?

    Not to mention anything else, these Youzhou cavalrymen each shoot ten rockets, which is a total of three thousand rockets.  If it falls into Cao Hong's camp, there will be three thousand ignition points.  What's more, these Youzhou cavalry.  Each person not only fired ten rockets, but also moved quickly to set fires everywhere, giving Cao Hong's soldiers no chance to put out the fires.  Not long after, Cao Hong's camp was just set up.  Then the fire broke out and burned into one piece.

    Forget about Cao Hong¡¯s anger.  On the one hand, he quickly ordered his men to put out the fire, and on the other hand, he ordered five thousand soldiers and horses and rushed out of the camp, preparing to eliminate the troublesome cavalry.

    But the three hundred cavalrymen in Youzhou did not confront Cao Hong head-on.  One of the generals saw Cao Hong chasing him out, and laughed loudly and shouted: "Zhao Yun of Youzhou has come to pay a visit. It is disrespectful to come empty-handed. I have to light a fire for the general to drive away the cold night. The general doesn't want it."  Thank you. Farewell."

    After saying that, Zhao Yun led his men away from Juechen.

    Although Cao Hong was extremely angry, Cao Hong's men were all infantry. Zhao Yun's cavalry ran away, but how could Cao Hong's infantry catch up?  Cao Hong was so angry that he screamed and ate Zhao Yun's dust, watching Zhao Yun and the others go away.

      At the same time, Xiahou Dun's large army also enjoyed Cao Hong's treatment.  One of the generals also called himself Zhao Yun.

    Although Xiahou Dun is among the main force.  Cao Cao has five thousand elite tiger and leopard cavalry.  But the horses used by Cao Cao's tiger and leopard cavalry were all military horses bought from Liu Bin.  It was a third-rate thing that Liu Bin had no use for. Among the princes without horses in the Central Plains, Cao Cao's tiger and leopard cavalry could still bluff.  But compared with Liu Bin's first-class war horse, how could it be on the same level?  They can only eat some dust behind that Zhao Yun's soldiers and horses.

    But this is not the end.  When Cao Hong, Xiahou Dun and others had just tidied up.  When they set up camp again, the cavalry came back under the leadership of Zhao Yun.  Moreover, he just started setting fires and harassing people without saying a word.

    To put it simply, if Cao Hong and Xiahou Dun set up a camp, Zhao Yun would lead hundreds of people to burn it.  Zhao Yun and the soldiers and horses he led seemed endlessly tired as if they didn't know what it meant to be tired.  However, Cao Hong and Xiahou Dun could not defeat them, and they could not catch up with them.  That was so infuriating.

    In the end, Cao Hong and Xiahou Dun were so angry that they simply sent all their troops to wait outside the camp, and then entered the camp one by one to rest.  That's all.

    Turning around, Xiahou Dun met with Cao Hongyan to discuss this matter. Both of them were extremely angry and cursed Zhao Yun for being despicable and shameless.  However, while the two were cursing, they were both puzzled.  How is it possible that Zhao Yun is everywhere?  Although Zhao Yun was leading cavalry, he traveled across two places and attacked many times. How could this be possible?  And with such an intense march, wouldn¡¯t Zhao Yun be tired?  To be continued.  If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly votes.
