Chapter 744: Making a Feint to the East and Attacking the West

This time Guo Daxian was killed, which aroused a strong reaction from everyone in Zhou Cang and Yang Feng. Several people wrote letters asking Huangfu Chaobo for permission to lead troops to fight against Cao Jun to avenge Guo Daxian.

However, Huangfu Chaobo did not agree to everyone's request for a fight. Not only Pang Tong and Huangfu Chaobo also saw the smell of conspiracy in Cao Cao's actions.

After Huang Zhong led the army to Chenliu, he sent a school of soldiers from the Huben Battalion to Donghun to assist Zhang Chao in defending the city. However, he personally led the army and rushed directly to Pingqiu to help defend Xiahou Dun's tribe.

On the 8th, news suddenly came from Hebei that Yuan Shaojun had made some changes. A year later, Yuan Shao raised his army again. Yan Liang, Wen Chou and Gao Gan's three armies rushed towards Han Fu's army. It seemed that there was a battle to bring Jizhou under control, and Han Fu immediately sent people to ask for help.

Fortunately, the defensive line negotiated by Huangfu Chaobo and others for Han Fu last year was approved by Han Fu and Zhang He. The six cities were defended by Zhang He and several generals. Now they are still barely able to block Yuan Shaojun's attack, just because of the war. There is only Zhang He, and the others can barely defend, let alone repel Yuan Shao's army's attack.

So after receiving Zhang He's report, Han Fu immediately sent people to Luoyang to ask for help.

After receiving Han Fu's letter asking for help, Huangfu Chaobo suddenly felt numb. Before Cao Cao could handle it, Yuan Shao jumped out again. After the discussion, Huangfu Chaobo ordered Hua Xiong, the commander of Baotao Battalion, to lead two lieutenants, Li Le and Mu Shun, and 20,000 men to Jizhou for support after the war, leaving a school of soldiers to be handed over to Hanoi Commander Wu Anguo to defend Hanoi.

Facing the increasingly complex and severe situation, Huangfu Chaobo and the other counselors found it very difficult, because so far, Cao Cao's purpose of sending troops has not been exposed.

In desperation, the three of them had no choice but to come to Luoyang Academy together and invite three veterans, Pope Fusong.

After reading the intelligence collected by Shadow, the three veterans were silent for a long time. They were experienced in the battlefield and saw that Cao Cao was wrong in provoking the battle of Chenliu. Even he dragged Yuan Shao into the water and gave people the opportunity. It feels like the two families united, dispersed Sizhou's forces, and then each occupied the territory in their own state.

After a long time, Huangfu Song suddenly asked: "Where is Cao Cao? Where are the other generals under him?"

After hearing this, Shi A quickly stepped forward and replied: "Three days ago, Cao Cao appeared in Xiahou Dun's army, and his flag is still in his army. As for the other generals of Cao Cao's army, Xiahou Yuan was still in Jiji five days ago." In the Northern Kingdom, Cao Ren was still in Rencheng Kingdom three days ago, and Cao Hong has been in Qiao County in the past few days. Due to limited manpower, the other generals have only paid attention to the generals of the Cao family. "

"Where are Cao Chun's Qingzhou soldiers?" Lu Zhi suddenly interrupted and asked;

"After Cao Chun's Qingzhou soldiers ambush General Guo's army, they have been among Xiahou Dun's army and have not gone to battle again."

After a long time, the three of them suddenly focused on one place, and then they said in unison: "Sound in the east and attack in the west!"

Huangfu Chaobo and others all looked towards where the three veterans were looking. It turned out to be Xuzhou, and they suddenly realized.

It turned out that Cao Cao's purpose was still here. Huangfu Chaobo was shocked and immediately asked Shi A to give an order to Meng Yi of Shuanghe City, asking him to send people to warn Ye Lai Xiang of Langya and Tao Qian of Xuzhou while quickly leading five thousand soldiers. Go south to Xuzhou again and try to rescue Tao Qian.

Yes, Cao Cao's goal is still Xuzhou. The reason why he made such a big noise is to disperse Sizhou's troops on the one hand, and to confuse Tao Qian on the other.

This was the first strategy proposed by Sima Yi after he became an official in Cao Cao. The big strategy was proposed by Sima Yi, and then refined by Cheng Yu, a fox, and the good old man Xun Yu, and finally decided to implement it.

A few months ago, after Sima Yi left Hanoi, he came under the rule of Yuan Shao and Cao Cao successively, because both of them are one of the most powerful princes in the Han Dynasty today, and another thing is that both families have a gap with Sizhou Mu Huangfu Chaobo , the two families will inevitably face each other in the future. However, after repeated comparisons, he decided to join Cao Cao.

After several months under Cao Cao, Sima Yi became outstanding because of his talents.

And stood out and quickly received Cao Cao's instructions. Sima Yi started planning this plan as early as this year when Huangfu Chaobo went to Hedong for the second time.

In fact, Cao Cao's life was not easy either. His territory was not small, but he was also stretched thin in terms of money and food. For example, Huangfu Chaobo has several allies that can be purchased from, but there don't seem to be many close friends around Cao Cao. Kong Min of Yuzhou, Tao Qian of Xuzhou, and Zhang Miao of Chenliu are all sworn enemies. Only Yuan Shao of Hebei has a close relationship. However, Yuan Shao has not yet occupied the entire Jizhou, and life is not so easy.

In addition, although Cao Cao has such a large territory and a lot of troops, Yanzhou is surrounded by enemies on all sides and there are many places that need to be defended, so the troops that Cao Cao can dispatch now are really limited.

Therefore, as soon as Sima Yi's strategy came out, he was immediately recognized by Cao Cao, because his strategy required the fewest troops and horses to go out. This was indeed a big temptation for Cao Cao, who did not have much food.

Subsequently, his strategy was approved by Cao Cao, and after perfecting it with his military advisers, Cao Cao began to implement it.

The main strategy was to unite with Yuan Shao to send troops to Sizhou's two allies. As for whether the two families could win their respective territories, it was up to them to decide on their own destiny. Of course, Cao Cao promised to send troops first.

In fact, Sima Yi's ultimate goal is Xuzhou. While everyone was focusing on the war between Yanzhou and Jizhou, Cao Cao quietly gathered tens of thousands of elite troops, quickly sneaked to the East China Sea, captured Tancheng with lightning speed, and then controlled the entire Xuzhou.

After repeated discussions, several people decided to send troops to attack Cao Cao, so as to relieve some pressure on Xuzhou. However, the place to attack needed careful discussion.

After repeated consideration, Pang Tong and his men finally set their sights on Puyang, and to attack Puyang, they had to capture Baima Port first.

So, Huangfu Chaobo decided to lead 10,000 personal guards and 10,000 Luoyang defenders, with the help of Zhou Tai's navy, to attack Baima.

Of course, in addition to these troops, Huang Zhong's Huben Camp also needed to send two schools of Huben Camp to attack together, trying to capture Baima in the shortest time, and then quickly mobilize troops to besiege Puyang.

After receiving the news, Huang Zhong arranged a school of Huben Camp soldiers to assist Zhang Miao's army in defending Pingqiu, but he led the Huben cavalry and the other two schools of soldiers to quietly leave Pingqiu and ride a detour to Baima County.

At the same time, except for one school left in Zhao Yun's Longxiang Camp to assist Huang Wudie in guarding Luoyang, the rest of the troops moved to Hulao Pass. Since a war was inevitable, Huangfu Chaobo's idea was to prepare for a war.
