w "Situ Wang Yun's old ministers of the three dynasties are highly respected and respectful; they protect the sages and respect the world. 144 Book! The Academy... Wang Situ and the imperial edict persuade Liu Bin to stop the army. Then Liu Bin described himself as a loyal minister of the Han Dynasty, and he would not refuse." Man Chong said bluntly.

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

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

For nothing else, Cao Cao had already thought through the matter thoroughly when he was not speaking. At that time, Cao Cao had realized that this matter could be completely resolved through diplomatic means. So Cao Cao regretted it at that time, and almost regretted it.

Cao Cao was extremely regretful: Why did he not put a low gesture to settle this matter when Liu Bin raised an army to question him? Although Sili was not rich, those who were stationed in the civilians were all his hard work over the years, and they were all gone. Even if Sili had to come back again, he would have to raise food and grass in Yanzhou and Xuzhou to support Sili. It would not be worth the loss.

However, although Cao Cao regretted it just now, Cao Cao was a person who did great things, and his superficial effort must not be leaked. Therefore, Cao Cao was silent at that time.

Later, Cao Cao's subordinates made plans one after another, and Cao Cao was very pleased with this. Although these people were not necessarily correct, they were all at the edge.

Man Chong's proposal was even more recognized by Cao Cao. According to Man Chong's strategy, the possibility of Liu Bin withdrawing was definitely more than 80%. After all, Liu Bin had already conquered Guandu the year before, after receiving the imperial edict, he still retreated. There was one or two. So this time, there was absolutely no problem with Liu Bin's possibility of retreating.

However, Cao Cao's inference that Man Chong analyzed the reason why Liu Bin sent troops was because he was assassinated, which was a despise of the inference that he was attacked.

Although Cao Cao did not have a deep friendship with Liu Bin, Cao Cao spent a long time with Liu Bin when he quelled the Yellow Turban Rebellion. Cao Cao succeeded in the first time in the slaves Liu Bin bought and sold. Cao Cao still had a certain understanding of Liu Bin. Then Liu Bin could never have used his own war for the sake of fame, honor and disgrace. As the saying goes: No profit can be brought up early. Then Liu Bin must have been driven by some interests, which is so powerful.

Therefore, Cao Cao still recognized Xi Zhicai's analysis in the purpose of Liu Bin's military mission.

After all, in the current world pattern, the area adjacent to Liu Bin is Sili and Xuzhou, except for Guandu, which is Sili and Xuzhou. To put it bluntly, it is a pit. In addition to being useful to himself and the Xiliang Army, it is for free to Liu Bin, and Liu Bin will never want it. And Guandu has built it like an iron bucket, and Liu Bin will definitely not earn the money to attack there. Therefore, the remaining ones are only Xuzhou can give Liu Bin some benefits. So Liu Bin's purpose of attacking the east and west must be to get Xuzhou.

However, although Cao Cao fully understood Liu Bin's strategic concept, Cao Cao was helpless.

Although Cao Cao killed too much when he attacked Xuzhou, it caused strong dissatisfaction among the aristocratic families in Xuzhou. Usually, although these people dare not show these dissatisfactions, the resentment in their hearts has been formed! Although Cao Cao wanted to deal with these people completely, the current situation in the world is at a crisis, and he still has to be guarded against other princes. He really has no distractions, and he does not want to make any internal troubles within himself at this critical moment. So he can only tolerate it temporarily! Also, there are some ministers under Liu Bin who have trapped from Xuzhou. Behind Xuzhou's relationship, if Liu Bin really wants to attack Xuzhou, the people in Xuzhou will definitely help Liu Bin, not Cao Cao!

As the saying goes: Knowing yourself and your enemy will never be defeated in a hundred battles. And the number of Liu Bin's troops has always been the biggest suspense in Cao Cao's mind. Although Liu Bin repeatedly claimed to the outside world that his troops were only 500,000. However, all signs of mobilization of troops could not be this number. Especially when Liu Bin conquered Guandu with 500,000 troops the same year before. Huang Zhong, under Liu Bin, also defeated the coalition forces of the Xiliang Army and Yuan Shu and others with 500,000 troops in Shouyang Mountain, which further illustrates this issue.

Therefore, Cao Cao knew that Liu Bin wanted to seize Xuzhou, but Cao Cao really didn't dare to conclude how many troops Liu Bin would use to implement this plan. And he was like Dong Zhao. Although Liu Bin used the strategy of beating east and attacking west now, he must not help.

Natunji received troops in Guandu and Sili, which could turn from virtual to solid at any time. If the troops in Sili were ignored, Hulao Pass has been broken. Those soldiers can definitely cut off the connection between Yanzhou and Guandu. At that time, Liu Bin had troops to attack Guandu's defenders in front and back, and Guandu's defense was not against the outside and inside. Therefore, the possibility of being easily broken by Liu Bin was not without. As long as Guandu was broken, Liu Bin drove straight into the sky, Chenliu and Xu Du would have to let him go. At that time, it would not be the only problem of Xuzhou. It would be a big problem with all Cao Cao's forces being destroyed.

Cao Cao's own family knows his own affairs. His troops are only more than 550,000 troops. Now the 200,000 troops defending Guandu are not required to be used. Xuzhou is coming from a tough situation, and the 100,000 troops that are shocked there are not allowed to be used casually. There should be 50,000 troops scattered in various places, and in order to supervise the local garrison and maintain local public order, they cannot be taken back. Among them, the 20,000 people who stay in Sili are not required to be considered. They must be reimbursed. And defending against

The 50,000 soldiers and horses of Zhang Xiu and Yuan Shu were not moved. Who can guarantee that those unrighteous people will not take the opportunity to make things difficult for themselves. In this way, only 150,000 soldiers and horses are left, and in order to solve the problem, there must be 100,000 soldiers and horses, so Xu Du is left with only 50,000 soldiers and horses. And these 50,000 soldiers are still unmovable. Not to mention that this Xu Du is the fundamental. The soldiers and horses must be left behind. The Yellow Turban Remnants who had just been conquered from Ma Chao would have been defeated without the suppression of tens of thousands of direct troops.

Therefore, how could Cao Cao not be guilty of this?

Therefore, when Man Chong offered advice, Cao Cao was very happy. He was furious and looked at him first. Anyway, Xuzhou was not under Cao Cao's Zhang's control. Of course, Cao Cao wanted to solve the current crisis first. When it stabilized later, he would find a way to solve Xuzhou.

However, the official Wang Yun proposed by Man Chong to send the order to pass on the order, which made Cao Cao extremely dissatisfied. Although Man Chong suggested that Wang Yun persuade Liu Bin, it was very reasonable and correct. However, Wang Yun was a person who made Cao Cao extremely worried. Although Wang Yun had performed very normally in the court in recent years, it was only when Wang Yun was also so ordinary when Dong Zhuo controlled the emperor, but in the end, Wang Yun brought out the emperor. This forced Cao Cao to be careful of Wang Yun.

Cao Cao thought to himself: Nowadays, officials of all sizes, except for those of his confidants, other officials are unreliable. Although all those officials have been under his control, their positions are still there, and their influence is still somewhat. If Wang Yun makes a name for himself, it will be a big blow to him. And now it is clear that as long as he gives Liu Bin a step and lets Liu Bin take a little advantage, Liu Bin will definitely withdraw. Whether or not he uses Wang Yun is the same. Why use Wang Yun?

Thinking of this, Cao Cao sighed even more: His subordinates still lack a comprehensive planner. Now, Cheng Yu is good at strategy, and can see Liu Bin's strategy of fighting against the west. Dong Zhao is good at politics, and can see that he has to be harmed. Xi Zhicai is good at calculations, and can see that Liu Bin is actually taking Xuzhou, and Man Chong is good at diplomacy. He can think of a way to blame him for justice and force him to retreat. He can be said to be the best among people. However, he only saw one aspect, but his grasp of the overall situation was still a little worse.

Cao Cao sighed secretly, but Cao Cao smiled with satisfaction on the surface. He said, "All the masters are indeed extraordinary talents. Under his wise eyes, Liu Bin has no way to hide his tricks. He just dissuaded Liu Bin but did not need to work. Mr. Wang. Zixiao had had some friendship with Liu Bin. He received the order to persuade Liu Bin that Zixiao was enough to be competent. Moreover, we already knew Liu Bin's tricks. But we can't make Liu Bin feel better."

After saying that, Cao Cao sneered.

Although Cao Cao sent Cao Ren to Youzhou to dissuade Liu Bin from advancing in the name of the emperor, Cao Cao still sent Xiahou Dun to send troops to Sili to recover the lost territory.

Xiahou Dun led 100,000 troops and took Cao Hong as the vanguard to head to Sili.

On this day, Cao Hong's troops and horses had already arrived eighty miles outside Hulao Pass. Cao Hong ordered the troops to stop the troops and camp.

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

Cao Hong was filled with aggrievance when he heard this. Why didn’t Cao Hong want to hurry to Hulao Pass to make achievements? But before leaving, Cao Cao repeatedly warned himself to use troops slowly. Just follow Liu Bin’s retreating troops and accept Sili intact. Never conflict with Liu Bin’s army to avoid causing a decisive battle with Liu Bin.

Cao Hong couldn't figure it out. Since he was so afraid of a decisive battle with Liu Bin, why should he send troops to counterattack Sili? Isn't it enough to just give this desolate Sili to Liu Bin? It's not enough to save himself as a vanguard.

But an order is an order. Especially Cao Cao's order. Even if Cao Hong couldn't figure it out, Cao Hong would still execute it without hesitation. Therefore, when Cao Hong heard Zhao Shen's questioning, he immediately glared at him and shouted: "Don't be too long-winded. This general has his own reason to make arrangements."

Zhao Shen was so scared that he dared not speak. While Cao Hong arranged for the troops to set up camp, he sent out a large number of sentry soldiers to guard the four, and strictly prevented the other party from coming here to steal the camp and rob the village.

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

Perhaps it was Cao Hong's sincerity that moved God. Cao Hong had just sat firmly in the tent of the place and had not had time to rest. A horse studded into the tent like a wind and reported to Cao Hong: "The general's great affairs are not good. Youzhou soldiers and horses are coming to attack the camp, and are coming here soon."

"Good come!" Cao Hong was overjoyed when he heard this and hurriedly shouted: "The person who came prepared a horse and carried a knife. I will fight in person." After that, Cao Hong walked out of the camp with great strides.

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

"About 300 generals."

"How many?" Cao Hong didn't react for a moment. He couldn't fall into the ground.

"Report to General! The troops and horses attacking in Youzhou should be about 300." The detective did not dare to be negligent. He quickly replied loudly to Cao Hong.

Cao Hong was immediately deflated. Isn’t it just a joke that three hundred people came to attack his vanguard camp? After all, his vanguard camp was also a large army of 20,000 soldiers. Those three hundred people came to attack the camp and grinding their teeth was not enough.

Cao Hong couldn't help but wonder: Could it be that Liu Bin and his lord have agreed? One is not allowed to take the initiative and ask them to politely send them away. One is giving gifts from a sporadic army and retreating in a simplified manner. What is this?

However, before Cao Hong could cheer up, the soldiers from Youzhou arrived. The number of these soldiers and horses in Youzhou was really the same as Cao Hong's horse probing said. There were about 300 people. But these 300 people were not like Cao Hong, but they pretended to retreat.

These three hundred people are actually attacking the camp. But these three hundred people are different from the way ordinary people attack the camp.

First, the three hundred people were cavalry. They were flying and raised the dust in the sky. Moreover, there was a torch inserted on their saddles. From a distance, they looked like a galloping fire dragon moving quickly. After Cao Hong's horse was exploring his horse from afar, he immediately came to report Cao Hong quickly, but in just a few words, before Cao Hong could walk out of the camp, these cavalry from Youzhou were already close to Cao Hong's camp.

Secondly, although these three hundred people came to the camp, they did not attack the camp gate, but surrounded the area outside Cao Hong's camp and ran quickly.

In the end, these three hundred people were not just walking around. They all fired their bows and arrows while they were speeding. The range of Youzhou bow and arrows was half way longer than that of Cao Cao's bow and arrows. Moreover, the arrows shot out were not ordinary feathered arrows. Instead, a rocket covered with grease was wrapped around the arrows.

After these rockets were ignited by torches, they shot into Cao Hong's camp, and Cao Hong's camp was in chaos. Although the camp that Cao Hong temporarily set up was not shoddy, it was not a fortress with earth and stone structures. The entire camp was made of wood and leather. These things were the ones that feared the most. But now there are three hundred people in Youzhou who do not fight or make trouble, but are just focusing on setting fires around Cao Hong's camp. Can Cao Hong's camp be unchaos?

Not to mention anything else, if each of these cavalry in Youzhou fires ten rockets, it is the total number of three thousand rockets. When it falls into Cao Hong's camp, there are three thousand fire points. What's more, these cavalry in Youzhou. Each of them fires not only ten rockets, but also moves around and sets fires, which does not give Cao Hong's soldiers a chance to put out the fire. In a short while, Cao Hong's newly established camp was burning into pieces.

Cao Hong was so angry that he wouldn't mention it. On the one hand, he quickly ordered his subordinates to put out the fire, and on the other hand, he rushed out of the camp after firing five thousand troops, preparing to destroy the troubled cavalry.

But the three hundred cavalry in Youzhou did not fight Cao Hong head-on. A general who was in charge looked at Cao Hong and chased him out loudly, laughing and shouted: "Youzhou Zhao Yun came to visit him. He came empty-handed and did not respect him. He had to light a fire for the general and drive away the coldness of the night. The general should not thank him. Say goodbye."

After saying that, Zhao Yun led his subordinates to leave.

Although Cao Hong was extremely angry, Cao Hong's subordinates were all infantry. Zhao Yun's cavalry ran away, how could Cao Hong's infantry catch up? He was so angry that Cao Hong 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 the treatment of Cao Hong. A general who also called himself Zhao Yun.

Although among Xiahou Dun's main force, there were 5,000 elite tiger and leopard cavalry of Cao Cao. However, the horses used by the tiger and leopard cavalry of Cao Cao were all military horses bought from Liu Bin. They were third-rate goods that Liu Bin could not use. Among the princes without horses in the Central Plains, how could Cao Cao's tiger and leopard cavalry be fooled? But compared with Liu Bin's first-class war horses, how could it be of the same level? They could only eat some dust behind Zhao Yun's troops.

However, this is not the end. When Cao Hong, Xiahou Dun and others had just cleaned up and set up camp again, the cavalrymen came back under the leadership of Zhao Yun. And if they were not talking, they would just set fire and harass them.

Simply put, Cao Hong, Xiahou Dun set up a camp once, and Zhao Yun led hundreds of people to burn it. The soldiers and horses he led seemed to be endless as if they didn't know what it meant to be tired. And Cao Hong, Xiahou Dun could not fight, and could not catch up. That was really anger.

In the end, Cao Hong was so angry that Xiahou Dun simply sent all his troops outside the camp to wait, and then went into the camp to rest one by one. Only then did he forget about it.

Turning around the world, Xiahou Dun met Cao Hong and talked about this matter. Both of them were extremely angry and scolded Zhao Yun for being despicable and shameless. However, while they were cursing, they were all wondering. How could Zhao Yun be everywhere? Although Zhao Yun was leading cavalry, he was running around and attacking him many times? And with such an intense marching, wouldn't Zhao Yun be tired? To be continued.
