I am the son of Cao thief, start the awakening of the tyrant system

Chapter 259 Arriving in Ji County, Deng Ai offers advice

In order to gain the upper hand, Cao Mao did not stay too long in Chang'an.

After cleaning the battlefield and packing up the food and supplies, he led his troops and marched towards the northwest!

Due to the chaos caused by the rebellion, there were few people along the way, and everything was barren.

When passing by a village, Deng Ai blushed when he saw the murdered villagers inside, and couldn't help cursing in a low voice,
"These dogs!"

Hearing his scolding, Cao Mao turned around and said softly,
"Shizai, those Hu people from the Qiang and Di tribes should be scolded, but the ones who should be scolded even more are Song Jian and others who have ulterior motives."

"If it weren't for their instigation, how could this rebellion be so massive?"

Deng Ai suddenly realized, nodded and said,

"So, if Song Jian and the others can be eliminated, will this rebellion be put down?"

"Not bad!"

Cao Mao nodded with a smile.

At this moment, there was a sudden "ding" in his ear,
"The host triggers the tyrant mission, destroys the Heshou Pinghan Kingdom, and kills all civil and military officials!"

Cao Mao's eyes flashed.

After Song Jian took control of Longxi County and the surrounding areas, he proclaimed himself king and canonized all civil and military officials.

This time, they brazenly marched and rebelled, and they really didn't know how to live or die.

The system only gave a few hundred points to complete the task of forcibly breaking into the emperor's bedroom last time.

This time, I can just complete the task of the tyrant and deter the barbarians in Liangzhou at the same time!

Thinking of this, a fierce light flashed in Cao Mao's eyes.

……

in a few days

Following the deaths of Hou Xuan and Liang Xing, the rebels retreated back to Liangzhou in a hurry.

Cao Mao and others went all the way unimpeded and arrived at a place less than ten miles outside the city of Ji County.

And according to the information brought back by the spies, there were a total of [-] rebels who surrounded Ji County.

And those rebels also knew the news of their arrival, and they were already fully prepared.

"I didn't expect a small Ji County to be able to resist for nearly a month. I don't know who is in charge of the city?"

Yan Liang looked at Ji County not far away, and a strange look flashed across his face.

Looking from the outside, Ji County is almost the same as Mei County.

They are all built with rammed earth, and the city is narrow in size, so it is impossible to hoard a large number of troops.

There are [-] rebels outside the city. If Yan Liang is in command, he is confident that they will take it within ten days.

But it happened to be such an inconspicuous city, and it insisted on holding on for nearly a month until Cao Mao and the others arrived.

At this time, Cao Mao and his party had already touched a small hill outside the city, carefully observing the situation on the battlefield.

"For this battle, do you have any suggestions?"

Cao Mao asked softly.

Wen Chou looked at the battlefield carefully, shook his head and said,
"Han Sui's generals are quite capable. There are no loopholes in the camp they set up."

Just when everyone was thinking hard, Cao Mao chuckled lightly,
"Shizai, do you have any tricks?"

Everyone's eyes lit up, and they also spoke one after another,
"Yeah, your kid has always been witty and clever, quickly think of a way."

"If you can defeat the enemy army, I will ask my lord to give you a first credit."

In the previous defeat of Liang Xing and Hou Xuan's troops, although Cao Mao was too brave and took the head of the enemy general among millions of troops, Deng Ai's credit was also in it.

Facing everyone's urging, Deng Ai couldn't laugh or cry,

"Several generals, don't be impatient, let me think about it."

With his hands behind his back, his brows were tightly frowned, and he looked at the situation on the battlefield from time to time, pacing back and forth.

At a young age, he has the demeanor of a top strategist.

"Have it!"

After some hard thinking, Deng Ai's eyes suddenly brightened.

He looked at Cao Mao and the others and said,
"My lord, I have two options."

"Speak quickly."

Ma Chao urged.

"If we can contact the defenders in the city and launch an attack at the same time. If the rebels are attacked from behind, we will have hope of victory."

Deng Ai smiled.

When everyone heard this plan, they fell into deep groan.

After a while, it was Cao Mao who shook his head,

"This plan is wrong."

"The defenders in the city don't know that we are coming to help, and we can't contact them. It is really difficult to launch an attack at the same time."

"Besides, after this period of persistence, the army in the city is probably exhausted."

"Even if they attack and cooperate with us, I'm afraid they will not be the opponents of the rebels."

"Don't forget that the main force of the rebel army outside the city is Han Sui's original team."

After questioning the soldiers who surrendered earlier, Cao Mao already learned that Cheng Yin, Li Kan, and Zhang Heng, among Han Sui's eight generals, were besieging Ji County.

Apart from Hou Xuan and Liang Xing who were killed by Cao Mao, Cheng Yi, Ma Wan, and Yang Qiu, together with Song Jian's men, were destroying Ma Teng's forces in other parts of Liangzhou.

Unlike the defeated rebels in Mei County, the 7 Ma Ke were not a mob.

They are all Han Sui's original team, and their strength far exceeds that of the Hu people.

"What the teacher said makes sense, but I didn't think carefully about it."

Deng Ai nodded, then smiled,

"But I have another plan, and the teacher will definitely agree."

"Stinky boy, have you learned how to play tricks? Tell me quickly."

Cao Mao scolded with a smile.

"The rebel army has 7 horses, and their food and grass consumption must be astonishing on weekdays. Their granaries must be nearby."

Deng Ai said slowly, without hurrying,
"We can take the opportunity to attack the granary. The rebels will definitely be very nervous and will send troops to support the granary."

"At that time, the rebel forces will disperse, which is our chance."

When he said these words, everyone looked at each other in blank dismay.

Seeing this situation, Deng Ai was a little at a loss, and said cautiously,

"Teacher, all... generals, but... but what... am I wrong?"

"That's right!"

Wen Chou laughed loudly, slapped Deng Ai on the shoulder heavily, and sighed to Cao Mao,
"Before I heard that the lord has accepted a disciple, I didn't take it seriously, but I didn't expect this kid to be so smart!"

"Having such a strategy at a young age, you must be a talent when you grow up!"

Yan Liang couldn't help but praise.

Being slapped vigorously by Wen Chou, Deng Ai grinned in pain, and said hastily,
"No... but this method... is good, but it has a drawback. We don't know where their granary is."

In ancient wars, if there were too many soldiers and horses, food and grass could not be placed in the barracks.

Firstly, it takes up too much space, and secondly, if the enemy attacks, it only needs to send a small number of people to burn the food and grass.

Therefore, when the army is dispatched, a granary is often built not far from the barracks, which is specially used to store grain and grass.

The place where the food and grass are located should be hidden, but also easy to defend and difficult to attack.

During the Battle of Guandu in history, Yuan Shao chose Wuchao as the location of the granary.

This location is an absolute secret, only Yuan Shao and his most trusted advisers and generals know about it.

However, Xu You betrayed Yuan Shao and dedicated the information that the granary was located in Wuchao to Cao Cao, and Yuan Shao's defeat was just now!

If Cao Cao hadn't burned down Yuan Shao's granary, the winner of the Guandu battle would not have been determined yet.
