Chapter 200 Fishing Enforcement [Subscription Request]

Tian Feng, Ju Su, Feng Ji, and Guo Tu.

Yuan Shao had eight senior advisers under his command. Except for those who were away on business trips, the four who remained in Yecheng were all in the palace.

Yuan Shao's eldest son, Yuan Tan, was also there. He had a compelling look in his eyes and was wearing a loose robe. He already had some of his father's style.

Yuan Shao sat in the main seat, with a wide belt around his waist, looking calm and composed.

The second place is Yuan Wei.

Everyone was looking at the map.

There is a red circle drawn on the map at the location of Xia Pi, indicating that it has been occupied by Cao's army.

"In addition to the fall of Xia Pi, the secret letter also brought another message, saying that Cao's army was stationed in the camp outside Xia Pi City, and there were lightning and thunder at night, and the sky changed."

Tian Feng said: "The analysis shows that Cao's army has a general who has made a breakthrough. Judging from his momentum, it is very amazing."

Yuan Shao nodded slightly, his eyes still on the map.

At this time, a person's breakthrough in cultivation is not enough to attract too much attention.

Everyone's attention was focused on the capture of Xia Pi.

Much faster than expected.

This put Jizhou in a very passive position.

"Lü Bu is really stupid, he only has force."

Yuan Tan said indignantly: "If it were any other general, with sufficient supplies, he would not have lost a fortified city in half a month."

"Xia Pi is low-lying. When the Marquis of Huaiyin was stationed in Xia Pi in the early Han Dynasty, he had raised this issue and made many precautions. He also added defense facilities to the upstream dam. Didn't Lu Bu think of preventing Cao's army from opening the sluice gates?"

No one else said anything, because it wasn’t actually Lu Bu’s problem.

It was Cao Ying's offensive and strategic planning that were beyond Lu Bu's ability to cope with.

Cao Cao's plan to seize and arrange the dam upstream of Xia Pi may have begun long before he sent out his troops.

This included inciting Lu Bu's subordinates to rebel. Judging from the results, it was by no means a temporary act.

It was too late for Lu Bu to respond.

Regarding the confrontation between Jizhou and Yanzhou, Tian Feng and Ju Shou were originally conservatives.

Initially, both of them suggested resting and recuperating before fighting again.

However, the fight between Yanzhou and Xuzhou gave them an opportunity, and they jointly proposed to go to war.

However, the speed at which Xia Pi was broken made them immediately alert - Cao's attack on Xuzhou was likely a trap for Jizhou.

"From the news sent back, it can be seen that Cao's army had accurately judged and prepared for the time when Xia Pi City would be captured.

If they wanted, they could have taken the city earlier or later."

Ju Su asked: "If that's the case, why did Cao's army choose now to break into the city?"

Tian Feng said: "Before the battle, they were not only thinking about dealing with Lu Bu, their target was Jizhou."

"Cao Cao and his advisers used the battle of Xuzhou as bait to lure Jizhou into participating, increase consumption, and strike at Jizhou's troops.

They are near Hanoi, and they must be ambushing us!"

Yuan Wei's heart sank: "Is it too late to withdraw the troops we sent out?"

Yuan Tan showed a little excitement and challenged:

"Father, let me lead 3,000 archers and 3,000 light cavalry to support the troops attacking Yanzhou. If we encounter Cao's army, I will teach them a lesson."

The bows and crossbows of Jizhou played a great role in defeating Gongsun Zan of Youzhou.

With full preparation, the Jizhou Army's crossbow team has increased from the initial 3,000 to more than 7,000.

Seven thousand soldiers lined up to attack with arrows raining down. Anyone who saw it would feel that they were invincible.

Yuan Tan led a powerful crossbow army and practiced it several times, with its power being extremely terrifying.

So he is very confident.

The advantage of Jizhou's powerful crossbow, once fully utilized, can defeat any opponent.

Yuan Shao glanced at his son.

Since he knew that Cao's army might have an ambush, he would not let his son take the risk.

"Send a secret message and immediately order the troops attacking Yanzhou to withdraw."

"Let Qu Yi lead the crossbow team to provide support!"

The order was passed on quickly.

Ju Shou, Tian Feng and others were not optimistic.

It may be too late.

Feng Ji pondered and said, "I have a plan that may be able to defeat the enemy.

Our army does not need to rush to retreat, but should turn from virtual to real and really attack Hanoi to revitalize the battle situation in Sili!"

"This move can reduce the risk of our army being ambushed, while maintaining the initiative. We can take the Sili border and head straight to Hanoi. There is no conflict on the route, and it is faster than retreating. We should still have time to send a secret message."

Yuan Shao, Tian Feng and Ju Su had a brief discussion and agreed to Feng Ji's arrangement.

Inside the account.

After the others left, Yuan Wei and Yuan Tan stayed behind.

The three generations of the Yuan family also had a secret discussion among their own family.

Yuan Wei whispered: "I contacted someone. To be more precise, the other party contacted me and was willing to join us.

He has a high position in Cao's camp and can get a lot of useful information."

Yuan Shao: "Is it reliable? How do you know it's not Cao Mengde's double agent? He is always suspicious. If someone really betrays him, it will be difficult for him not to discover it."

Yuan Wei thought for a moment and said, "It will take time to observe. It is hard to be sure at the moment."

"In addition, the Fu family and Chang'an both want to balance the situation and prevent either side from becoming too powerful. It may not be a bad thing for us to suffer some losses on the surface and push Yanzhou to the front."

"The Fu family secretly transported some supplies here, and wrote to say that they wanted to form a marriage relationship with my Yuan family."

Yuan Wei pursed his cracked lips:

"Besides, to deal with Cao Cao, we can send all of Yuan's assassins to carry out the assassination. If we can get rid of him, Yanzhou will immediately fall into chaos!"

Yuan Wei's eyes fell on the map again. The several counties in the north, the counties controlled by Jizhou and Yanzhou at this time, if combined, would already be half of the country!
What an achievement it would be if we could get them all!
……

in the afternoon.

Cao Cao, wearing a black official robe with dark red patterns, met with officials and gentry from all sides in Xia Pi City.

He is about to leave Xia Pi.

Cao Cao did not use his relatives or trusted men as the chief commander, but appointed Zang Ba, a former subordinate of Xuzhou and a recent surrenderer, to guard Xiapi.

This will minimize resistance.

Zang Ba was filled with gratitude for this. He never expected that he would be given such an important task when he first came here.

In fact, Cao Cao listened to Zang Ba's heart and knew what he was thinking.

This person only wanted to stabilize Xuzhou and had no intention of changing his mind.

In the evening, Wei Xu, who had also recently surrendered to Cao's camp, came to ask for a meeting.

He found out that Cao Cao liked to eat abalone.

And Xuzhou is on the sea.

He got some top-quality abalone, steamed it, and gave it to Cao Cao to enjoy.

"Governor, please try this. I have dared to presumptuously prepare food without your permission," Wei Xu said.

The abalone at both ends is plump and chewy, delicious, and steamed to just the right temperature.

Cao Cao ate a few and said: "You surrendered voluntarily, your situation is different, you should be treated better.

Do you want to work in Xuzhou, or come back to Yanzhou with me and make other arrangements?"

"I will follow the governor to Yanzhou."

Wei Xu felt that Cao Cao lacked a capable servant, or someone close to him.

He is the kind of lackey who can figure out the boss's intentions and arrange everything to make everything very comfortable.

If you can always stay with Cao Cao, you will definitely get a lot of benefits.

At this time, Wei Xu observed the situation and said, "Governor, that Madam Du is really a rare beauty. When the disturbance happened in the city, I hid her and sent people to protect her safety."

He wanted to offer the beauty as a gift in exchange for a better position.

"I'll send her to the governor's residence later?"

Even with Guan Yu's pride, he had to swallow his pride and beg Cao Cao to give him Madam Du.

It’s true that Cao Cao was somewhat curious about Mrs. Du.

But he won't delay his work.

"I will lead my troops to leave Xia Pi tonight," said Cao Cao.

Wei Xu immediately understood and prepared to secretly send the person to Changyi and keep him outside first, waiting for instructions on how to make future arrangements.

Night falls.

Cao Cao led his vanguard troops and marched quickly northward.

On the carriage, Cao Cao asked Xu Chu and Dian Wei, who were accompanying him, "I asked you two to select the soldiers of the Xianzhen Camp. Have you selected how many men can be incorporated into the Heavy Cavalry?"

"There are only three people in the preliminary selection." Xu Chu said first.

The Xianzhen Camp has set out towards the northwest to meet up with Zhang Liao.

There's a tough battle to be fought there!
The Xianzhen Camp is the most elite unit handed down from the Bingzhou Army.

The entire army was equipped with heavy armor, large shields, and two types of weapons: spears and long-handled hammers.

They used horses to carry armor and armor, so they were quite mobile. In actual combat, they would become dismounted heavy infantry, and every attack was invincible.

The soldiers of the Xianzhen Camp were selected by Lu Bu himself.

Cao Cao thought he could select a double-digit number of good players to join the heavy cavalry, but unexpectedly there were only three people.

It would take 800 years to gather 2,000 Tiger and Leopard Cavalry. This generation will die of old age, and the next generation will still be nowhere to be found... Cao Cao thought to himself.

He contacted Zhang Liao on the other side through the communication bead: "Did you fight?"

"We have entered the designated location and are waiting for the enemy to ambush us." Zhang Liao responded.

……

Northwest of Yanzhou, about to enter the direction of Silizhou.

Zhang Liao led his troops and lay in wait here.

He had been secretly called back by Cao Cao before, waiting to ambush the troops in Jizhou that wanted to attack Yanzhou's homeland.

Zhang Liao's location was not far from the Suanzao Camp where he had once fought against Dong Zhuo. The terrain was wide and conducive to gathering troops.

Even with tens of thousands of soldiers lined up in battle formation, it did not seem crowded.

"General, the news from the outpost is that the troops of Jizhou suddenly turned around and did not rush into Yanzhou as planned. They were just a little bit away from entering our ambush area." The scout reported.

"not coming?"

Zhang Liao was a little surprised:

"Jizhou is not slow to react. It doesn't matter. As the governor said, fishing enforcement. If the other party doesn't take the bait, throw a new bait."

"Notify the entire army to advance westwards and race against the enemy to the next ambush location!"

The entire army immediately took action.

……

The night is dark.

Cao Cao, who was in the car, suddenly turned his head to look outside, and his sight seemed to be able to penetrate the car wall.

Something unexpected happened... Jia Xu in the car disappeared in a flash, entering a hidden state protected by the Dunjia diagram.

Outside the car, Dian Wei and Xu Chu shouted in unison: "Who!"

boom--

Xu Chu soared into the air and rushed straight into the dense forest on the side of the road.

Dian Wei threw out a short flying spear, which flew into the forest like a stream of light.
