After all, it was a big event, and both Tao and Cao's armies had to treat it with caution.

But the facts proved that Wuchao was indeed Yuan Shao's grain storage place, as the captured grain officer said, and it was guarded by [-] elite soldiers under Chunyu Qiong's command.

The information brought back by the spies of Cao Jun and Tao Jun is basically the same, and there are no omissions.

In this way, the matter of attacking Wuchao Granary is basically a certainty.

After knowing the news, not only the generals of the Cao army, but also the generals under the command of Tao Shang are gearing up and eager to try.

Everyone understands that this is a godsend opportunity to defeat Yuan Shao!If they can seize this opportunity to win the Battle of Guandu, the Yuan Group, a behemoth standing in the north, will surely collapse. At that time, the world will be a completely new picture.

The world will be reshuffled, and these princes and bosses are the biggest beneficiaries of actual benefits.

One word, cool!

Of course, this matter is definitely not easy to do. Before the battle, all the generals and counselors of Tao Jun and Cao Jun must sit together and speculate on this matter so that it will be foolproof.

The general guarding Wuchao is Chun Yuqiong, who was appointed as one of the eight captains of Xiyuan in the fifth year of Zhongping during the reign of Emperor Xiaoling. One of the important generals of the capital.

Many people in later generations passed on that this person was an alcoholic, but it was not the case.

In history, Chunyu Qiong was capable of using troops well. He was a general under Yuan Shao's command, and he was on par with Zhang Yun, Gao Lan and others.

Cao Cao had an old relationship with Chunyu Qiong in the capital, so he knew him better, so he analyzed the generals of Cao and Tao battalions objectively: "Chunyu Qiong was one of the eight captains of Xiyuan, and he was with me and Ben in the same year. In the same row at the beginning, this man's military use is a little tricky, and he is definitely not taking it easy. We need to attack Wuchao and Dazhai quickly. If we delay, we will be held back by Chunyuqiong. Whether or not we can retreat safely is difficult, and I ask all generals to be more cautious this time."

All the generals nodded their heads when they heard the words.

Tao Shangyan added: "There is also our Guandu Tuzhai, and we must leave heavy troops to defend it. If Yuan Shao sees me attacking Wuchao and sends troops to attack Dazhai, it will be a big loss."

Cao Cao laughed loudly when he heard the words, and said: "Brother Tao's words are true, and my heart is deep. Cao's intention is that we each leave half of the soldiers and horses, and five generals guard the camp in case of accidents. You see how?"

The potter nodded in agreement.

Cao Cao immediately ordered five trusted generals Cao Ren, Yan Xing, Shi Huan, Li Dian, and Jia Kui to guard the area.

Tao Shang said: "In this case, I will personally guard Dazhai on my side, and keep Zhao Yun, Xu Chu, Ji Ling, Guan Hai, and Xu Sheng by my side. As for half of my soldiers and horses, Chen Deng, Lu Su, Tai Shici, Xu Huang, Xu Rong, Gan Ning, Zhou Tai and other generals will lead them to Wuchao with Brother Meng De, and then they will be at the mercy of Brother Meng De."

Cao Cao was taken aback when he heard the words, and wondered, "Brother Tao is not going to go with Cao?"

The pottery merchant shook his head, and said: "Before the battle, especially for such a big matter as hijacking Wuchao's grain and grass, sending two generals to go there will inevitably hinder the mobilization, but it is better to let brother Mengde go there alone To use your skills, all the affairs of this big camp will be presided over by Tao, you and I have a clear division of labor, different responsibilities, and we don't need to disgust each other, wouldn't it be wonderful to act like this?"

Cao Cao didn't expect that the pottery merchant would be so upright in his work, and he couldn't help but feel very moved while being surprised.

"Since this is the case, I will let Xun Yu, Cheng Yu and others stay and guard with Brother Tao. If something happens, we can take care of each other."

The potter smiled slightly, but said nothing.

It was not enough for Cao Ren to stay, and Xun Yu and others had to be left behind. It was clear that he was worried about protecting Dazhai and wanted to watch himself.

However, this matter was mutual, and the pottery merchant was also worried about Cao Cao, so he let Chen Deng and Lu Su go with Tai Shici and other generals to prevent Cao Cao from playing any tricks on his soldiers.

Everyone can be regarded as tacit understanding of each other.

After the division of labor between the two princes was completed, at midnight, Cao Cao led half of the troops and went to Wuchao to cook food.

Cao Cao's plan this time is to order the soldiers in the front to use the banner of Yuan Jun. The soldiers hold small wooden sticks in their mouths and tie the horse's mouth to prevent the sound from disturbing the enemy. When they left the camp, each of them carried a bundle of firewood. When he was questioned by someone on the way, he replied: "The general is afraid that Cao Cao will attack the rear luggage, so send troops to strengthen the defense."

In this way, once they arrive at the headquarters of Wuchao, they can set fires wantonly without any delay, ensuring the maximum efficiency and timeliness of arson.

The pottery merchants stayed in Guandu Tuzhai to stick to their own village.

On the night when Cao Cao attacked Wuchao, none of the people in Guandu Tuzhai dared to sleep. After all, the matter was of great importance, and there were always changes and threats, and the leaders of the two sides needed to make adjustments at any time.

People who can still sleep peacefully under such circumstances should really stop messing around in this troubled world.

"yawn!"

The Tao merchant yawned unabashedly in the handsome tent, then counted the time helplessly, and sighed with emotion.

"If I stay up late all the time, it will cause acne and damage my handsome face."

Xun Yu and Cao Ren, who were sitting opposite him, looked at each other, black lines appeared on the back of their heads.

At this moment of life and death, this kid has a big heart.

Are you still in the mood to sleep?

Are you still in the mood to care about your looks?

Xun Yu took a deep look at the potter, and suddenly said to Cao Ren: "General Zixiao, not only the front camp, but the rear camp also needs to be deployed with troops, and the defense should be carefully deployed to prevent Yuan Jun from detouring and attacking."

Cao Ren stood up and nodded, "I'll make arrangements."

The pottery merchant turned his head and said to Xu Chu who was behind him, "You also go with General Zixiao and see if you can be of any help."

"promise."

When they were young, Cao Ren and Xu Chu disappeared into the handsome camp, leaving only the potter and Xun Yu among them.

Xun Yu looked closely at the potter, his eyes seemed to be glued to the potter's face.

The potter grinned and said helplessly, "Does it look good? My face."

"generally."

"Usually you look like a big girl, how about this?"

Xun Yu took a deep breath and said, "Master Tao, are you really planning to support the eldest son Xi as emperor?"

Chapter 552 Xun Yu's Inquiry

The potter thought with his toes, and he also knew that Xun Yu had deliberately dismissed Cao Ren, just to ask him about this matter.

As the leader of the Yingchuan gentry, this old boy is loyal and responsible to the Han family. Judging from his appearance, the degree of loyalty to the Han family is indeed not ordinary.

Some time ago, Guo Jia wrote a letter to this old boy to test the waters, but since then, there has been no news.

In fact, thinking about it, this old boy is called my son-in-law by Cao Cao, and the degree of compatibility with Cao Cao himself is not so high. It is really too difficult to make him betray him.

So, after Guo Jia told the potter about such a thing, the potter basically didn't say anything, and the matter was left alone.

But the pottery merchant really did not expect that Xun Yu would take the initiative to talk to him today.

On the occasion of this great battle, he was still thinking about the Han Dynasty, so it seemed that Xun Yu was really in a hurry.

After all, he was still in the Guandu camp. Even if Cao Cao had left, it was hard to guarantee that he would not be around. To do such a dangerous thing, it seemed that the old boy Xun Yu was really in a hurry this time.

This is a loyal minister, a loyal minister to the Han Dynasty.
