There are gentlemen in the Three Kingdoms

Cao Cao clenched his fists vigorously, and said in a low voice: "The little thief of the Tao family caused Cao to lose the emperor. Cao couldn't swallow this breath no matter what. He had to use the opportunity of exchanging prisoners to let you know. Cao's army is very strong."

On the north bank of the Yellow River, Yuan Shao Dazhai.

After Yuan Shao returned his soldiers and horses to Fan County, he suddenly stopped moving.

He summoned Tian Feng, Ju Shou, Xu You, Pang Ji and Guo Tu five people overnight.

"Duke Ming, why did you immediately stop your troops and not return to Yecheng as soon as you passed the north bank?" Tian Feng had the most straightforward personality, so he asked Yuan Shao first.

With a gloomy face, Yuan Shao said slowly: "Yuan wanted to return to the army, but suddenly figured out something."

Pang Ji looked at him strangely: "What did Duke Ming figure out?"

"Cao Ama!" Yuan Shao said word by word: "Recently, Yuan was overwhelmed by the emperor's establishment of court in Fan County. I will definitely not let it go, I expect that once everyone withdraws, Cao Aman will definitely raise his troops to attack the pottery merchants and avenge the robbery of the emperor!"

After hearing this, Ju Shou stroked his beard and pondered for a long time: "We are not familiar with Cao Cao, my lord, is this true?"

Yuan Shao chuckled and said, "I have known him for more than 20 years, how can I not understand him? Just like Cao Cao understands Yuan!"

At this time, Xu You stood up and spoke: "Minggong, don't you want to make a profit? Take this opportunity to eradicate Cao and Tao?"

Chapter 361 Ancient Battlefield Jiuli Mountain

In the tent of the Tao merchant, Tao Taifu and a group of generals and counselors are discussing the strategy of exchanging hostages with Cao Cao this time.

As the chief military adviser, Guo Jia was the first to speak out.

"At this time, the Son of Heaven has settled down in Fan County, and he has sold his officials to the princes of the world. The matter of establishing a dynasty alone has been acquiesced by the princes of the world. At this time, Cao Cao still has the heart to hijack the Son of Heaven again. Taking the Son of Heaven away from Liang Zhu's hands can be regarded as a rescue, and if he continues to act like this now, it will be a robbery."

Chen Deng agreed with Guo Jia's point of view: "Cao Cao's anger is hard to calm down, and he naturally thought of dealing with the Tai Tuo to avenge his deep revenge."

The pottery merchant supported his forehead and sighed: "As I expected, Cao Cao probably planned to take advantage of the opportunity of exchanging prisoners and take advantage of our army's unpreparedness to launch a surprise attack on us. A battle?"

Guo Jia said with confidence: "There are two ways of fighting, one is to take advantage of the opportunity of exchanging prisoners to charge into the battle, and the other is to charge after the exchange of captives and wait for our army to retreat. With Cao Cao's ability, decisively He doesn't know how to use the first method of warfare. One is too obvious and easy to be seen through by us, and the other is that the second general of the Xiahou family is a general of his relatives after all. If it is not a last resort, Cao Cao will not do it like this. After all, Cao Jun The main commander of the army is still Cao Cao's clan brothers, so it is easy to lose the clan's heart by acting like this."

The pottery merchant smiled and said: "Last time, in order to paralyze Cao Cao, I specifically asked him to exchange Jueying and Zhahuang Feidian for two generals of the Xiahou Clan. I used this method to get them in Shouyang Mountain. Lu Bu's red rabbit horse, so Cao Cao will not doubt me."

Chen Deng stood up and bowed to the potter: "Although that is the case, the hostages need to be exchanged seriously with Cao Cao, so as not to show any flaws."

The pottery merchant nodded and said, "Tao can save this matter."

After finishing speaking, the potter turned his head to Guo Jia and said, "After the hostage exchange, Cao Cao will drive his troops to chase after him, right?"

Guo Jia fluttered his sleeves and said: "After Cao Cao exchanged hostages with us, he thought that our army would be slack and would definitely chase after us. At that time, we need to find an advantageous place to set up a good position before we can fight Cao Cao. "

When the pottery merchant heard this, he couldn't help feeling a little lonely.

In the final analysis, the choice of terrain to fight Cao Cao was due to the fact that one's own side did not have a large and powerful cavalry.

After Zhao Yun captured Xiahouen alive, he once reported to himself that the tiger and leopard cavalry guarding Puyang were extremely powerful, and their combat power was stable above that of the white horse righteous, and that cavalry was just a branch of the tiger and leopard camp.

If they confronted the main force of the tiger and leopard cavalry led by Cao Chun, the cavalry and infantry of the Xuzhou Army would have no resistance.

But where should the duel with Cao Jun be?

At this time, Xu Rong stood up and said coldly: "The last general is a good place, suitable for my Xuzhou army to fight against Cao Cao!"

The potter hurriedly asked, "Where?"

Xu Rong bowed, then walked to the Pitu hanging on the screen behind the potter, and said while gesturing.

"The land of Fan County is the safe place for the emperor to live, and it is also the attention of the princes of the world. Cao Cao must not dare to fight our army here easily, so as not to be caught by other princes. In the end, Cao Cao will definitely wait. When our army returns to the border of Xuzhou, we will attack again, so that we can take the ancient battlefield of Jiuli Mountain and form an army to fight against Cao Cao."

"Jiuli Mountain?" The pottery merchant rubbed his chin and murmured.

"Exactly!" Xu Rong said loudly: "When the general came to Pei County from Jinling City, he went to Jiuli Mountain to investigate the terrain. There are too many cavalry, and it is inconvenient to use it. It has been a battleground for military strategists since ancient times! According to ancient legend, Han Xin set up an ambush on all sides here to defeat Xiang Yu, the overlord of Western Chu. If we drive our troops here, we may be able to fight Cao Cao.”

The potter's eyes lit up suddenly, and he suddenly realized: "I remembered. Since ancient times, there have been folk songs about the ancient battlefield in front of Jiuli Mountain. The shepherd boy picked up old knives and guns, and the wind blows the water of the Wujiang River, just like the concubine Yu is not the king."

Speaking of this, the potter stood up and told the generals: "Xu Rong, you lead an elite army and go to Jiuli Mountain to inspect the terrain first, so that our army can quickly deploy defenses after arriving at Jiuli Mountain."

Xu Rong cupped his hands: "No!"

Three days later, Cao Cao handed over the hostages with the potters as agreed.

The potter sent back Xiahouyuan and Xiahouen to Cao Cao, and Cao Cao sent his two famous horses, Jueying and Zhuohuang Feidian, to the potter.

Although it was just to paralyze Cao Cao, the pottery merchant was also happy from the bottom of his heart.

Ferrari has already been obtained, and now Jueying and Claw Huang Feidian are also obtained.

Three-quarters of the dream of collecting all the four luxury cars has been completed.

The potter named Jueying "Porsche" and Zhuohuang Feidian "Rolls Royce".

Looks like a Lamborghini.

After the exchange of people for horses was over, the Jinling Army hurriedly withdrew in the direction of Xuzhou.

At the same time, at the place where Cao Cao's main force was stationed in Qi Township, the main force of Cao's army was also ready to start their operations.

The generals of the Cao family, with Xiahou Dun, Cao Ren, Cao Hong, Pang De, Yan Xing, Cao Chun, Dian Wei, Li Dian, and Yu Jin as the main combat forces, are waiting for Cao Cao to issue an order to them to attack the Jinling army.

This time the confrontation was no longer any of the Cao's side divisions, but the main force of the Cao Bing army led by Cao Cao himself.

After Cao Cao himself gave a thorough speech to the generals under his command, he immediately ordered the various ministries of Governor Cao Ren to march straight to the rear army of the pottery merchants who had already marched towards Jiuli Mountain.

Seeing the soldiers and horses advancing one by one into the distance, Cao Cao's eyes narrowed slightly, as if he was thinking about something important.

Behind him, Cheng Yu came hurriedly, cupped his hands to Cao Cao and said, "Sikong, Jia Xu from Puyang has a letter."

"Jia Xu?" Cao Cao was taken aback when he heard the words, but for a while he didn't seem to remember who the other party was, and only after recalling for a while did he suddenly realize.

"So it was him." Cao Cao smiled and shook his head.

That old man, ever since he conspired with him to take away the emperor in Guanzhong, he never made a plan or offered a plan for himself.

If the old guy keeps quiet, Cao Cao will probably forget his name.

"What did he say in the letter?"

Cheng Yu received Cao Cao's authorization, and immediately opened Jia Xu's letterhead, read it quickly, and then said: "Jia Wenhe heard that His Majesty has established a dynasty in Fan County, and he specially advised Sikong to take revenge on the pottery merchants." count."

Cao Cao snorted coldly.

"If it wasn't for the Son of Heaven, he would have been disrespectful in front of Cao Mou all his life. Tell me, what strategy did he offer?"

Cheng Yu stroked his beard again and again, and said to Cao Cao: "Jia Wenhe advised Sikong, please bear with his temper for a while, and don't send troops to attack the pottery merchants easily."
