(PS: Second update.)

Affected by the distance and news channels, it was of course impossible for Deputy Director Tao to know that his father-in-law had given him an ideal excuse to start a war. After helping Boss Cao successfully attack Wuchao, Deputy Director Tao even came from the Wuchao battlefield.

He quickly evacuated, but in fact he did not go far. Instead, he lurked in Pushui area thirty miles east of Wuchao, continued to monitor Wuchao's movements through scouts and horses, and patiently waited for the winner of the Wuchao battle.

Regarding this, Tao Ji and Xu Chu, who assisted Deputy Director Tao in the sneak attack on Wuchao, were a little puzzled. Tao Ji simply asked Deputy Director Tao directly: "Second brother, since you are so worried about the safety of the Cao thief, why don't you

How about fending off Yuan Shao's reinforcements for him and buying him time to completely burn down Wuchao?"

"The battle of Guandu has not yet been decided. We cannot openly take sides yet. We must be sure of the winner before placing bets." Deputy Director Tao's answer was that of sitting on the fence and watching the wind, and added: "Besides, we are an army of gentlemen and an army of benevolence and righteousness."

, the moral army

, undeclared war and sneak attack on Wuchao are not too public now. We must prevent our wounded soldiers from being captured by the Jizhou Army and exposing their secrets. Therefore, we cannot stay on the battlefield to entangle with the Jizhou Army. We can only hide in the dark and wait for opportunities.

act.”

"Then what if the reinforcements from the Jizhou Army arrive in time and defeat Cao's bandits?" Tao Ji asked again.

"Then we will take advantage of the Jizhou army's opportunity to hunt down the thief Cao, and then launch a sneak attack on Wuchao." Deputy Director Tao smiled and replied: "The thief Cao personally led the team to attack Wuchao. The reinforcements from Jizhou will definitely not let this captured thief go."

If we have the opportunity to capture the king first, we will definitely pursue the thief Cao with all our strength. We have plenty of opportunities to finish the food supply for Wuchao for the thief Cao."

Tao Ji smiled and admired his cousin's thick skin and black heart. At this time, the scouts of the Junzi Army also sent the news of Zhao Yun's team arriving at Wuchao battlefield to Deputy Director Tao. He heard that the general leading the Jizhou reinforcements was

It's Zhao Yun, Tao who cherishes his reputation

Naturally, the deputy director was even more reluctant to join the battlefield. In addition to ordering the scouts to continue to closely monitor the movements of the Wuchao battlefield, he also sent out Qingqi squads to search and kill the surrounding Jizhou Army scouts, not giving the Jizhou scouts a chance to get close to the Junzi Army Brigade.

.

Fortunately, Boss Cao's team did not disappoint Deputy Director Tao. After a life-and-death battle, Cao's army finally defeated Zhao Yun's reinforcements, and quickly changed the colors of Yuan Shao's army and began to retreat to the remote mountain roads. After confirming the news, Tao

The deputy director did not hesitate and immediately ordered: "Send the signal and the entire army will return and retreat to Changyi."

"No!" Tao Ji agreed. He first ordered his soldiers to light up the smoke and summon all the troops to return, and then asked Deputy Director Tao: "Second brother, retreat now. What if Cao's team is intercepted by the Jizhou army?"

"There is nothing we can do. We can only look at Cao Cao's own luck." Deputy Director Tao shook his head decisively and said: "As long as Wuchao is destroyed, Cao Cao will have to lose all his five thousand Qingqi.

Thief Cao himself was able to escape back to the Guandu camp, and he won the battle in Guandu! We don’t have to worry about Thief Cao now. On the contrary, my father-in-law has to worry about him. If he unfortunately dies in the chaos

Among the army, we are the most troublesome."

He was also slightly free. Tao Ji, who never interfered in political affairs except leading troops to fight, rarely asked more, "Second brother, I have something unclear. Since second brother, you said it was because the Jizhou army was too strong and the Cao thieves defeated us.

He couldn't stop Yuan Shao, so he supported the Cao thieves against Yuan at all costs. In this case, second brother, why do you still say that if Yuan Shao died in the rebellion, we would be in big trouble?"

"Okay, it's a bit grown, knowing that you have thought about your brain." Deputy Director Tao, who sent Tao Ji's cousin, praised him, and then explained: "I don’t want Yuan Shao to die in the chaos, of course, it is not

I hope it will weaken the Jizhou army too much and give the Cao thief team the opportunity to grow rapidly. "

"Because of the current situation, the overall strength of the Cao thief still exceeds our army. It is not large that our army has a great chance of defeating with Cao thief alone. At the same time

Therefore, even if our army and Cao thief temporarily joined forces to resist Yuan, there will be a decisive battle of life and death sooner or later in the future. Then, the greater the Cao thief will make a bigger profit in this Guandu War, the stronger the team's opportunity to grow, and the more you will have the future of our army.

unfavorable."

"Yuan Shao is different. Our army and Yuan Shao have only conflicts of interests. There is nothing to wear and death that we don't have the same life and death. As long as our common enemy Cao thief is still there, our army and Yuan Shaojun will still have the opportunity to rebuild the old good together to destroy Cao, so we

It can only support Cao thief to defeat Yuan Shao's strength to weaken Jizhou in Guandu, so that it will not be able to threaten our army and Cao thief at the same time, and it must also rely on the help of Cao Cao's war.

It should not be allowed Yuan Shao to die in Guandu, because the party's struggle between Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang was too fierce. Even if Yuan Shao died, even though he could meet with Yuan Shang, he would also face the joint efforts of Yuan Tan and Cao thief ... "

"Huh?!"

Patiently explained to Tao Ji to give me guidance here. Deputy Director Tao suddenly moved in his heart, and his face also showed a worry. Tao Ji saw that Deputy Director Tao looked bad and asked, "Second brother, what's right?" Isn't there? "

"There are too many variables, I missed a possibility." Deputy Director Tao answered frankly. "Master Yue Zhang's southern sign, Yuan Tan also followed, and he must be with Lord Yuezhang according to the rules and habits.

If you want to kill your father or collude with the Cao thief to kill his father, it is easy to get back, but these two may not care about the situation, which is greatly not good for our army. "

"Yuan Tan kills Yuan Shao? Turching Cao thief to kill Yuan Shao? Holding his father Yuan Shao, how is this possible?"

In the end, Tao Ji's seeing is still less. It is inevitable that these concerns of Deputy Director Tao will inevitably feel a little incredible. Deputy Director Tao will also be too lazy to explain the sinister heart to the cinema of his head.

The possibility of his uncle in the battle of Guandu. At this time, all the gentlemen who were scattered around to search and killed the enemy scout all returned to the brigade. Tao Ji immediately asked Deputy Director Tao: "Second brother, Brother,

Do you order the troops back to Changyi? "

"No, Master Yue can hang up, but you can't hang up now! Be stable, you must make a arrangement." Deputy Director Tao groaned and answered the question.

On the side of the road, the name of Yuan Tanzi was crooked on the white silk, and then the white silk was handed over to a guardian of his own confidante, and he ordered him: "Turn into an ordinary people, bring this letter to Guandu, once it is brought to Guandu, once it is taken to Guandu, once it is taken to Guandu, once it is taken to Guandu, once it is taken to Guandu, once he will go to Guandu. Once you bring this letter to Guandu.

It was confirmed that the Cao thief withdrawn the Guandu camp, and immediately sent the letter to the Cao thief with my reputation. It is not necessary to say the rest. If the Cao thief was killed by the Jizhou Army on the road, then even if it was later, he immediately lurned back to Changyi to report to the letter.

. ""

The guard from Danyang agreed and quickly took out the civilian clothes brought with the army to change. Tao Ji on the side asked with confusion: "Second brother, what do you mean by writing Yuan Tanpifu's name and giving it to Cao Cao?

"

"Threatening!" Deputy Director Tao replied: "The thief Cao and Yuan Tan have been secretly communicating with each other for a long time, and Guandu's victory has been determined. There is no need for me to remind him to contact Yuan Tan secretly to take action. I deliberately made it superfluous to use the thief Cao's

With his cunning and suspicious character, he must be suspicious of me hoping that he and Yuan

Tan teamed up to get rid of his father-in-law, but he didn't dare to do so. Even if Yuan Tanpifu took the initiative to secretly contact the thief Cao, the thief Cao would definitely worry that getting rid of his father-in-law would only benefit our Xuzhou army in vain, and then he would not dare to catch him.

This is your chance to capture the thief first!"

Deputy Director Tao's intentions were a bit too complicated. Tao Ji, who had never heard Hua Rongdao's story, found it hard to understand. However, Tao Ji always admired his cousin's shamelessness and black heart, so even if he didn't understand, he didn't ask any more questions.

Just old

Acting in accordance with the order, he assisted Deputy Director Tao to lead the army back to Changyi. The guard from Danyang, who had been working as an ox and horse for the old Tao family since Tao Qian's time, sneaked to Guandu on foot, looking for an opportunity to deliver Deputy Director Tao's letter.

Go to Boss Cao.

………………

Okay, now let’s take a look at Boss Cao’s situation. Speaking of which, Boss Cao, who has escaped death countless times on the battlefield, is not only inferior to the three Taozi brothers in his escape skills, but his luck on the battlefield is even worse.

In the eight streets of Taozi's three brothers, due to the sudden coma of Yuan Sangong, Yuan Shao's army was in chaos. Cao Lao's team, disguised as Yuan Shao's defeated army, took a detour and returned to the Guandu camp. Leng was not attacked.

After being intercepted by half of Yuan Shao's army, despite walking an extra 40 to 50 miles, they finally returned to the Guandu camp when it was completely dark. Cao Cao's team in Guandu, who had been on tenterhooks for a whole day and night, suddenly burst into cheers.

As a result, morale was greatly boosted. From high-ranking generals to ordinary soldiers, they were absolutely confident in the victory of Guandu. Xun You, Guo Jia and other civil servants even cried with joy. They even called for God's blessing, and Boss Cao was blessed with great blessings.

There was more than one happy event for Boss Cao. In addition to the two famous generals in Hebei, Zhang He and Gao Lan, falling into Boss Cao's arms at the same time, Boss Cao's brother-in-law, Diannong Zhonglang General Ren Jun, finally sent a batch of food and grass that Cao Jun desperately needed.

, although this batch of grain and grass was only enough for Cao's army for half a month, Ren Jun also honestly told Boss Cao that this batch of grain and grass was already forcibly extorted from the wealthy families in Xuchang by Xun Yu. After half a month, it was already very large.

It is difficult to send follow-up food and grass to Boss Cao. But it doesn't matter anymore, because Zhang He and Gao Lan have already leaked the secret to Boss Cao, saying that the food and grass for each battalion of Yuan Shao's army is received from Wuchao every two days.

This time, the food and grass in the main camp of Yuan Shao's army was only enough for one day, so let alone half a month, even if it could only be used for seven days, Boss Cao would have enough time to completely defeat the main force of Yuan Shao's army.

What made Boss Cao even more ecstatic was that after the third watch that night, Mr. Yuan Tan actually sent his confidant Captain Liu Xun to contact Boss Cao, although Liu Xun did not explain his purpose to the notifying guards.

, but Boss Cao, who was three points slipperier than a fox, still applauded and laughed, repeatedly saying that Yuan Shao was done with, and regardless of his own exhaustion, he met with Liu Xun all night, and contacted and negotiated face to face with the secret envoy sent by Mr. Yuan Tan.

Yuan Tanzi concealed the absolute confidant of Guo Tu and Xin Jing to send Liu Xun and the boss Cao's secret contact. The purpose is actually very simple, that is, he hopes to stop the war with Boss Cao, and ask Boss Cao to rob the main force of Yuan Shaojun while the fire is robbed.

Yuan Tan took Yuan Jun back to Jizhou. When Boss Cao heard it first, he was secretly ecstatic, and then asked with a smile: "General Liu, as if your big son is not qualified to ask for me and a soldier,

Right? Yuan Shao is still there.

"My mother -in -law has fallen ill, and so far I have been unconscious." Liu Xun was not afraid of leaking military planes. According to the instructions of Yuan Tan, he explained: "Now the Jizhou Army is in charge of the Grand Duke's son.

Jizhou, the position of the military division was taken over by Mr. Guo Tu, so my eldest son can now be the master for the protagonist. "

"Yuan Shao is unconscious?" Boss Cao was even more ecstatic, and he said with a calm smile: "I'm afraid it is also temporarily the master. When the protagonist of Ru, Yuan Shao wakes up, in case he refuses to accept Cao Yuan and talk about it.

Continue to fight with me, so what is it? "

Liu Xun looked at the left and right Guo Jia, Yu You and others, and seemed to want Boss Cao to drive away others, but the boss Cao refused to give up.

They concealed. "

"Nuo." Liu Xun nodded helplessly, and lowered his voice and said: "The big son has a sentence to ask the villain to transfer the prime minister -if the prime minister can promise his peace, then my master will never wake up!"

The boss Cao's triangle was shot out of light, staring at Liu Xun fiercely, Liu Xun was panicked by Boss Cao, and quickly added: "My big son of my family also said that if the prime minister can grasp his sum of his summation, he supports him to become Jizhou.

Lord, then he will not only be aligned with the prime minister forever, but also fully support the prime minister to attack Xuzhou, help the prime minister to kill the father! "

"Yuan Tan's courage is really not small. He actually wanted his uncle to stand on his own. He used his force and Yuan Shang to fight for his position. I really saw him before."

When the boss Cao secretly praised, when he turned his head to see the left and right conspirators, he saw Yue You, Guo Jia, Cheng Yu and others, and they nodded slightly towards himself, indicating that he accepted Yuan Tan's request.

It is not that the character and the ancients of Xun You, Guo Jia, and others are old. When I heard a tragedy like a father and a father, they still clapped their hands. The key is to use the current situation. Yuan Tanzhen is really good for Cao Jun.

The pie in the sky has a hundred profits and no harm. The danger allows Yuan Tan to take it. The greatest interest cake is exclusively for Cao Jun.

The reason why Guo Jia and others are tempted are of course Yuan Shaojun is too strong. Although Wuchao Grain has been destroyed, and a group of Yuan Shaojun teams have surrendered Cao Jun, but Cao Jun wanted to remove the remaining more than 200,000 Yuan Shao

The army still has to prepare for a few tooths that have been collapsed. At the same time, even if Cao Jun can successfully win these more than 200,000 Yuan Shaojun, at most it only weaken Yuan Shaojun's overall strength, and it cannot completely reverse the trend of Yuan Cao's army.

Because Ji You and the Land City of Qingshi Prefecture are still in the hands of Da Yuan San Gong, hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses are still existing. Now I am afraid that only Da Yuan San Gong flees back to Jizhou alone.

, Re -form Cao Jun's overwhelming advantage.

But if Yuan Tan kills Grand Duke Yuan on behalf of Boss Cao, the situation will be completely different. Once Grand Duke Yuan is dead, neither Yuan Tan nor Yuan Shang will have the prestige and ability to reintegrate Jiyou and Qing Four Prefecture troops. No matter how many Yuan's troops there are,

They will all fall into endless internal friction and be unable to concentrate their forces to form an overwhelming advantage over Cao's army.

With the situation, Boss Cao can get twice the result with half the effort whether he wants to defeat them all or fish in troubled waters. It is even possible to kill the Tao Army in Xuzhou that threatens the most and then free up his hands to annex Jizhou - without the threat and containment of Da Yuan Sangong on the northern front,
