Chapter 538 Cao Cao's finishing touch

Guandu.

Located upstream of the dry ancient canal divide.

Honggou, also known as Langtang Canal in the Western Han Dynasty, is adjacent to the Wanli Yellow River in the north, Mangshan Mountain in the west, Great Plains in the east, and Zhongyue Songshan Mountain in the south.

When King Wei Hui dug this canal during the Warring States period, he never thought that it would become a famous place in history.

In the past, Chu and Han fought for hegemony.

The gap is the Chu River and the Han border.

To the west of the chasm is Han, and to the east of the chasm is Chu.

Today, the west of Guandu is Cao, and the east of Guandu is Yuan.

Cao Jun's base camp.

Chinese army tent.

"Zhongda, look at the current situation, here... and here."

Cao Cao pointed on the map.

He liked to discuss with Sima Yi very much, and found that this young military adviser was very defensive.

During this period of time, several layout errors have been found and corrected.

"My lord, as long as Chen stays here, Yuan Shao will not dare to launch a frontal attack on Guandu." Sima Yi said affirmatively.

At this moment.

Another military advisor, Liu Ye, came in.

He is not a great military strategist, but he is a very balanced and outstanding figure in all aspects.

"My lord, the transformation of our army's catapult has been completed!"

Liu Ye was very excited.

Catapults in Middle Earth first appeared in the Warring States Period, and the most powerful catapults required more than 200 people to operate together.

Cao Jun's catapults have been improved with winches and pulleys, so they can launch farther and be more powerful.

Since ancient times, weapons and equipment have determined the victory or defeat on the battlefield, which is the most critical factor besides people.

Cao Cao was overjoyed, "That's great, let's go and have a look."

a while.

The forefront of Cao Jun's defense line is on the edge of the Guandu gap.

The huge deep ravine can be said to be a small canyon. It is very dangerous.

It has been cleared by Cao Cao, and there are no trees or bushes to cover it.

Anyone who wants to attack must pass through the open area in the middle.

"Get ready, let go!"

The machine hub is installed on the top, and the stones are fired, and the sound is like thunder.

A piece of rubble flew out under the shocked eyes of Cao Jun soldiers.

It fell very far away, about 200 meters by visual inspection.

This is a total of fifty catties of stones.

If it weighs twenty or thirty catties, it can fly farther.

It can fire shotguns, and it can also fire a large one.

A high-altitude parabolic is extremely deadly, even if it is just a small stone, this kind of forward momentum is more powerful.

Seeing the fearful eyes of the soldiers, Cao Cao laughed loudly and said, "Now that Guandu is defending, with such a powerful catapult joining in, it's like adding wings to a tiger. Liu Ye will make a contribution first."

"Don't dare to take it." Liu Ye said hastily.

Cao Cao stroked his beard, "This car is so powerful that it sounds like thunder. It can be called a thunderbolt car."

The soldiers looked very happy at the moment, as the defender had such a powerful thunderbolt car.

As long as the enemy dares to go down the ancient river, they will all die on the river bed.

at the same time.

Yuan Shao is discussing affairs in the big tent east of Guandu Honggou.

Hear the loud noise of thunderbolt car.

When he came out, he saw Cao Jun constantly throwing stones with thunderbolt chariots.

Ancient trebuchets, also pre-calibrated in areas with later artillery.

After visually measuring the enemy's position, launch it with the scale and strength measured in advance to achieve a quick strike.

Therefore, you will see in the war film and television that after the communicator reports the coordinates, the artillery fire will come immediately, and it cannot be done without preparation in advance.

Yuan Shao and the others could naturally see that the enemy's catapults were more powerful.

Therefore, I am deeply worried about this Southern Expedition.

Braving such long-range firepower, how many troops will be lost through Guandu?
Yuan Shao frowned, "I hope Tan'er can take down Chen Liu as soon as possible, so that we can go all out to deal with the enemies in Guandu."

……

Cao Cao laughed and returned to the big tent, he seemed really happy to join the Thunderbolt Che.

At the same time, although he had to give up Dongjun, judging from the current situation, it was beneficial to him.

Therefore, retreating to Guandu is a good strategy.

later.

Cao Cao gathered the generals with a beating drum, and rewarded Liu Ye in front of everyone.

Looking at the crowd, he said in high spirits: "Yuan Shao came here and never launched an attack. He was afraid that Chen Liucheng's army would attack him from inside and outside."

"The news came the day before yesterday that General Xia Houyuan was guarding very well. The army and the people are united. Yuan Tan has nothing to do."

Having said that, Cao Cao smiled again.

"My Lord, Military Advisor Cheng Yu is here." Xia Houen came in.

"Let him in now."

Cheng Yu was defending in Chenliu, and everyone paid attention to it.

"Mr. Cheng Yu, but what's the matter with Chen Liu?" Cao Cao asked hastily.

"This...." Cheng Yu saluted, "Master, General Xiahou wants to go out of the city once."

"Why?" Cao Cao must have asked.

Cheng Yu must have been in a dilemma, "My lord, please read it for yourself." After saying that, he took out Xia Houyuan's letter.

Cao Cao was puzzled and took it.

one look.

sheep!
I am very...

Cao Cao seemed to be able to hear the song of the sheep, and almost scolded him at that time.

Sima Yi and others naturally noticed Cao Cao's changing expression.

Cao Cao is Cao Cao after all, it would be too embarrassing if he had an attack, his face was very dark, and he said in a deep voice, "I approve."

Cheng Yu secretly sighed, "Here."

What is approved, others do not understand.

Sima Yi said: "My lord, what's going on?"

"This..." Cao Cao's face was gloomy, and he wanted to hide it, but sooner or later he would know about it.

He laughed out loud and said generously, "Look at it."

Follow the crowd to watch together.

Cao Cao looked a little embarrassed.

"This...sheep, what's the situation?" Sima Yi frowned, wondering if Yuan Tan was crazy, and Xia Houyuan was crazy too. Do you need to grab it?
"Um..., I am a sheep." Cao Cao pretended to be generous.

"Ah?" Advisor Liu Ye

"Oh!" The counselor was full of love.

"Uh..." Sima Yi said.

Cao Cao's face became embarrassing. The tolerance just now was especially shown, but it disappeared immediately.

Really, shame on you.

Cao Ren, Cao Hong, and Cao Xiu were confused, what's the matter?

Was it that shocking?

Come over to see.

"what?"

"Well!"

"Shut up!"

Cao Cao blushed instantly, realizing that he shouldn't have been so magnanimous.

It's not a matter of being generous at all.

Miscalculated.

When he saw the shocked eyes of his family brothers looking over, his face became hot, and he wished he could find a crack in the ground and sneak in.

Cao Hong didn't expect that Cao Cao would dare to tell the truth to his face, and hurriedly said: "My lord is as modest as you are, and you can pull a boat inside your stomach."

punting?Hold up a shit!

Cao Cao's face was ashen, and he was even more embarrassed by the reckless Cao Hongyi.

Everyone didn't dare to look at it, and hurriedly sent it back.

Immediately felt that this action still had to be approved, had to fight back, and had to snatch the sheep.

Being able to keep Chenliu well depends on the people in Cao Cao's hometown who love Cao Cao.If you don't take action, the people in the city will not be driven crazy day and night.

Cao Cao took a deep breath, "Beware of ambushes, go."

"Here." Cheng Yu was about to leave.

Sima Yi laughed loudly, "Wait a minute."

When Cao Cao's face was thin, he was furious: "What are you laughing at?"

Sima Yi said seriously: "Since ancient times, when two armies are fighting, the general's mentality is as important as the morale of the army. Yuan Tan is using psychological warfare to lure me out of the city. It is a two-pronged approach. If the lord gets angry because of this, he will fall into his trap."

Cao Cao's face is ugly, you are not the person involved, even if you know there is a plan for this matter, you still have to go out, right?If not, what would people in the world think of him as a hero?
Fight back anyway.

It's true that Sima Yi was not the person involved, but even if he were, he wouldn't get angry.

You must know that Sima Yi is the only one who dared to wear women's clothing in front of the enemy on the battlefield throughout the ages, and it was a women's clothing given by the enemy.

Later, he was chased as the founding emperor, and also the highest-ranking women's clothing tycoon in history.

This mentality, that must be leveraged.

Of course, Sima Yi didn't just persuade him verbally and bowed his hands.

His behavior was abnormal, Cao Cao frowned, "What do you want to do?"

Sima Yi said with a serious expression: "My lord, it's not as good as us...."

A lot was said next.

"...." A witty person like Cao Cao must have understood it, and burst out laughing, "Hahahaha, a clever plan, it's so wonderful."

Temporarily confused with everyone.

Cao Cao got up and said with a smile, "This way we don't have to go out of the city. Not to mention that Yuan Tan's plan to seduce me was in vain, but it was his mentality that collapsed at that time. Isn't it beautiful?"

You can still use such tricks!

"Ha ha ha ha……."

Everyone also laughed out loud, feeling that this counterattack was too sharp.

Can't help looking at Sima Yi with admiration.

Sima Yi chuckled, feeling that what he had just done was a stroke of genius.

By the time.

Yuan Tan, I just asked you if you were surprised or surprised?
Suddenly, everyone noticed that Cao Cao's face changed drastically.

"My lord?"

Where is this again, everyone was shocked.

Who knows, I saw Cao Cao showing a strange smile and beckoning to them, "Everyone, come here with your ears."

"What?" Everyone walked over suspiciously.

Cao Cao whispered and extended Sima Yi's strategy.

"Ah!" After everyone was taken aback, they immediately looked at Cao Cao with even more admiration.

Sima Yi took a deep look at the prince in front of him. If he was a genius just now, then Cao Cao's words were the finishing touch.

Without this finishing touch, it would not be called a work.

I admire you.

With such a development, Yuan Tan will be surprised and surprised, and will be defeated in a surprise attack, and his life will be in danger.

Sima Yi was so excited that he wanted to see Yuan Tan's death, so he immediately said: "My lord, then make it as big as possible, so that it will be more stable."

"Yes." Cao Cao nodded, and said to Cheng Yu, "I will send Cao Hong, Yu Jin, and Le Jin to help Xia Houyuan."

Cheng Yu was dumbfounded, he didn't expect things to change so quickly.

However, this counterattack was really too sharp.

Unexpectedly, Cao Cao and Sima Yi would improve according to Yuan Tan's strategy.

Not to mention treating the body in the same way as others, it is even better if there is a universe inside.

This plan will win.

It is really such a wonderful strategy that it has never been recorded in the Art of War.There is a deep feeling that after this strategy is over, this strategy will be included in the art of war.

Leave a name in history.
