Mythic version of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 375 Destined to Destroy Cao Bao

"Liu Xuande is a hero. He doesn't change his aspirations in wealth and power, but he doesn't change his heart in the palm of his hand. It's different from what you thought of ignoring Liu Xuande. I've long been sure that Liu Xuande came for me. In his heart It's important that Xuzhou didn't kill me, even if someone under Liu Xuande helped me cover up the incident in Xuzhou, as long as Liu Xuande knows the truth..." Cao Cao's face showed a bit of bitterness.

Cao Cao also knew that he had gone too far this time. If Liu Bei knew the truth of the matter, it was inevitable that he would never die because of his benevolence to the people under his rule, so Cao Cao was ready to fight Liu Bei, and even Cao Cao Also prepared to take advantage of Liu Bei's anger to take down Liu Bei in one fell swoop!
"My lord, don't take this matter to heart. Let's take down the elite soldiers of Danyang first and then talk about other things. After defeating Cao Bao's army, Xuzhou will be equivalent to defenseless for us in the short term." Cheng Yu said calmly. .

"Danyang veterans are indeed the elite left over from Tao Qian's rule of Xiliang. They are indeed powerful, but with Liu Bei behind, we still don't want to attack Cao Bao. Although this person doesn't understand military affairs, Tao Gongzu's Danyang veterans have gone through hundreds of battles. Even if you don't need to command, you can rely on experience to explode with great strength." Xun You said with a slight frown.

The most troublesome thing about elite troops is that they have participated in too many wars. In the end, even if they don’t need to command, they know what to do in what situation they are in. They don’t need orders at all, and they will rely on the battle situation to control their own actions. move.

When he said this, a gleam flashed in Xun You's eyes, and then he changed into the previous wooden expression again.

"This is really difficult to deal with. If so many elite veterans can be captured, it will be of great help to supplement our strength in Yanzhou." Cao Cao said enviously.

More than 3 veterans who have all experienced wars, and half of them are elite veterans who have participated in the Battle of Xiliang with Tao Qian, and the remaining half have also participated in some wars more or less. , It is a great supplement to Cao Cao who does not have too many veterans.

"Danyang soldiers are semi-mercenary troops. As long as we can capture the other party, we can incorporate them into the establishment." Cheng Yu echoed.

Then Cheng Yu thought of the fighting power of the Danyang veterans, and sighed again, "Cao Bao has no talent or morality, but even if Cao Bao is gone from the [-] Danyang elites, the commanders of the low-level generals such as centurion, military marquis, and Sima are all there. They are not so easy to defeat, they have experienced too many battles, and they don’t need a commander to know what to do under what circumstances.”

"I think it is precisely because of Cao Bao that we can easily win this battle," said Xun You, who was acting as a wood on the side.

"Gongda has a clever plan." Cao Cao said happily.

"Danyang veterans can be named as elites because they are mercenaries but they can order and prohibit." Xun You said expressionlessly, "The concept of executing orders has been engraved in their minds. For an excellent commander Said, you only need to believe in the fighting power of Danyang veterans, and then give orders at the right time, and Cao Bao's words..."

"This plan is brilliant!" Cheng Yu understood Xun You's meaning in an instant, laughed and clapped his hands and said.

Cao Cao understood what Xun You meant after thinking about it for a while, and he was also happy on the face. In this way, as long as Cao Bao is constantly forced to give orders, the soldiers in Danyang will sooner or later be confused because Cao Bao does not understand military affairs, and they will not attack themselves in the end. break.

"Since this is the case, there is no need to call Yuan Rang Miaocai and others back now. Every time there is a reinforcement army, the order of the Danyang soldiers will be confused. In the end, as long as the Danyang soldiers are in chaos, it will be easy to defeat them " Cao Cao said with a big laugh, he had already seen the hope of capturing the veterans of Danyang.

As for whether Cao Bao will issue orders indiscriminately, Cao Cao can guarantee that Cao Bao will issue many unrealistic orders at that time, because people who have never been on the battlefield will make that mistake for the first time, and more importantly, they cannot see the real situation on the battlefield. What is the situation like.

This will lead to a disconnect between reality and senses, as well as between the commander and his subordinates. The commander feels that the place that is obviously not dangerous is dangerous, and the place that is obviously dangerous is not dangerous to the commander. There was an error in judgment, and after three or two times, chaos can be said to be inevitable.

"We need to choose a place for the battle. As long as we fight in the next battle, Cao Bao, who has won consecutive battles, will definitely fight, and in order to show his generosity, he will definitely accept the battle place we choose, so we still choose a place suitable for large-scale battles. place." After Cheng Yu confirmed that this method was feasible, he turned his attention back to the map. Their goal was to expand their strength, not to kill many people in the place.

"Here." Xun You pointed somewhere on the map with his slender fingers, "Being kind to captives is also a kind of benevolence of princes, and 'don't kill those who surrender' can also wash away our previous negative influence. After a ten-day period, the soldiers can be taken out for persuasion."

Cheng Yu and Cao Cao looked at the plain at the confluence of the Yishui River and the Yellow River, and nodded. That place was used as a place for battle, and the ice surface was already a little unstable. The words of ten thousand people are absolutely unacceptable, and the weather in February of the lunar calendar has begun to warm up.

"If that's the case, let's go here. I don't believe that Cao Bao is capable of leading the Danyang soldiers to fight to the death." Cao Cao laughed.

"If there is no Cao Bao, there is still a certain possibility, but it is absolutely impossible now. Cao Bao is a man of great ambition and talent. If the situation is not good, he will definitely run away. This is an opportunity for us." Cheng Yu also said with a smile on his face.

Cao Cao quickly wrote the battle to Cao Bao, and after sending it to Pengcheng, he waited for Cao Bao's reply.

On the same day, Cao Bao's document was handed over without any modification at all. It even stated that if Cao Cao was not satisfied with the battle location, he could choose another place for the battle, and he wouldn't mind.

"Sure enough, he is full of confidence." Cheng Yu laughed after reading the letter, "This time the First World War ended Xuzhou's ability to resist, Cao Bao is worthy of his name!"

"Gongda, you don't seem very excited." Cao Cao wrote the order to the Xiahou brothers, and imagined how defeating Cao Bao would affect his own power.

"I'm thinking about what kind of style Liu Xuande would have if he launched an attack with Liu Xuande's character." Xun You said calmly.

"With Liu Xuande's benevolence, he would probably want to eat me alive after knowing the truth. Judging from the previous contact, it is very likely that he will attack me regardless." Cao Cao said without thinking.

[This is a good opportunity. If Liu Bei is captured, we will be able to advance and retreat freely. 】Xun You silently calculated, but he didn't know that this was what Jia Xu was betting on.
