After being abandoned by Liu Bei, Cao Cao begged me to be a military adviser

Juhu said: "What the two generals said is reasonable, but we still need to wait for the current situation to find a good opportunity!"

"Yeah!" Yuan Shang nodded slightly, rejected the two generals' request to fight, and ordered to stand still.

For several days, the two armies lived in peace.

Cao Cao couldn't sit still.

Immediately took Lao Xu to the rear army to find Liu Xian.

At this time Liu Xian was lying on the rocking chair and reading a book.

Lao Huang squatted on the ground and beat his legs.

Seeing Lao Cao coming, Lao Huang yelled: "Master Chicken, sit in your seat!"

"Yeah!" Lao Cao nodded and sat beside Liu Xian.

Liu Xian asked: "Brother Chicken came to see me again?"

"Yes!" Lao Cao nodded awkwardly.

Liu Xian asked: "Mr. Cao is not satisfied with your strategy?"

Lao Cao said: "I am quite satisfied, but I still have doubts!"

Liu Xian asked, "What doubts?"

Lao Cao said: "The main problem is that I don't know when Yuan Shang will come to rob the camp. Cao Gong has no idea!"

Liu Xian nodded: "Mr. Cao is in a hurry!"

"That's right!" Lao Cao nodded.

Liu Xian said: "It's okay, there is a way to play in a hurry!"

Lao Cao asked: "Then what is the way to play in a hurry?"

Liu Xian smiled: "Brother Chicken, do you still remember how Dong Zhuo firmly grasped the power and defeated Ding Yuan during the Ten Changshi Rebellion?"

Lao Cao nodded: "Dong Zhuo didn't have many soldiers and horses at that time, so he sent soldiers out of the city at night and again in the morning. The soldiers and people in Luoyang City were terrified when they saw Dong Zhuo's soldiers and horses entering the city continuously, thinking that he had tens of thousands of soldiers and horses! "

"That's right!" Liu Xian nodded, "Dr. Cao can follow suit!"

"Oh?" Lao Cao was shocked.

Liu Xian smiled: "I heard that after the eight generals left the camp, there were [-] to [-] troops left in the camp!"

"That's right!" Lao Cao nodded.

Liu Xian said: "The number of soldiers and horses makes Yuan Shang hesitant, but no matter how few soldiers and horses there are, Duke Cao himself is afraid of Yuan Shang again!"

"Yes!" Lao Cao nodded, and the words reached his heart. Although he took himself as the bait, he didn't dare to bet his life.

Liu Xian said: "You can send troops out of the camp after dawn, and return to the camp after dark. Outsiders may see that the number of soldiers and horses has decreased, but in fact it has not changed!"

Lao Cao smiled: "Sir, learn and use it flexibly!"

Liu Xian continued: "The soldiers are divided into two squads. One squad sleeps during the day and watches the night at night, and the other sleeps at night and patrols the night during the day. No matter how Yuan Shang investigates, the number of soldiers and horses is half!"

"Hahaha!" Lao Cao laughed loudly: "When Yuan Shang saw that my camp had only [-] to [-] soldiers and horses, he would definitely come to rob the camp!"

"That's right!" Liu Xian nodded: "In this way, Duke Cao's wish has been fulfilled!"

Lao Cao exclaimed: "I've been thinking about this question for several days but I can't figure it out. You are truly a genius!"

Lao Huang said: "Master Chicken, you are shooting yourself in the foot! In terms of resourcefulness, you still have to rely on our husband!"

Old Cao felt speechless, wanted to refute but didn't know how to refute.

Lao Huang said again: "Master Chicken, don't get me wrong, I just said it casually!"

"Hahaha!" Lao Cao laughed embarrassingly, and then said: "I won't stay any longer, come back another day!"

"Walk slowly!" Lao Cao waved goodbye directly.

Lao Cao shook his head and took Lao Xu out of the big tent.

After returning to the Chinese army, Cao Cao summoned Cao Ren.

Cao Ren clasped his fists together: "Prime Minister, what are your orders?"

Cao Cao said: "Tomorrow morning, you arrange 5000 people to go out of the camp to the surrounding counties and counties, and return quietly to the camp after nightfall!"

Cao Ren was puzzled: "Prime Minister, are you free?"

"Fart!" Cao Cao said, "This is Mr. Cao Ji's trick!"

"Brilliant plan?" Cao Ren immediately perked up when he heard the words.

Cao Cao said again: "This is called the strategy of empty soldiers. It makes Yuan Shang think that there are not many soldiers left in our camp!"

Cao Ren shook his head: "Even if you go out early and return late, you may not be able to hide it, right?"

Cao Cao laughed: "The soldiers in the battalion are divided into two squads. One squad drills during the day and rests at night. The other squad rests during the day and patrols at night!"

Cao Ren smiled: "This move is very good, even if Yuan Shang comes to rob the camp, he won't be afraid anymore!"

"Hahaha!" Cao Cao laughed, "How about it, do you understand now?"

"Mr. Cao Ji is really clever!" Cao Ren laughed.

Cao Cao asked, "Are there any doubts?"

Cao Ren said, "There is one more thing I don't know!"

"Say!" Cao Cao said.

Cao Ren said: "Mr. Cao Ji has been advising the prime minister for a long time, and he has made great contributions. I am afraid that he is unfair to Mr. Cao Ji by hiding behind the scenes. The military and military have long wanted to see Mr. Cao Ji's demeanor!"

"This matter!" Cao Cao shook his head: "I will think about it after Hebei is pacified!"

"Yes, Prime Minister!" Cao Ren clasped his fists and signaled with a smile on his face.

Not only Cao Ren, but the entire civil and military personnel in Cao Ying wanted to know what kind of legendary figure this Mr. Cao Ji was.

Even Guo Jia, who is far away in Xudu, has written many times to ask about this matter.

Chapter 100 Yuan Shang Besieged on All Sides, Cao Cao Attacked Jicheng

In the next few days, Cao Jun sent [-] soldiers and horses out of the camp every morning.

It looks like they are going to various places for reinforcements.

At night, the five thousand soldiers and horses would sneak back to the camp again.

Because soldiers work in two shifts.

A few days later, it seems that the number of Cao Ying has dropped sharply.

The news spread to Jicheng.

Zhang Nan, Jiao Touch, Ma Yan and Zhang Yi all came forward to ask for a fight.

"My lord, the number of troops in Cao Jun's camp has been halved. This is an excellent opportunity for our army to attack!"

"My lord, don't hesitate. If it is too late, our army will miss the opportunity when all Cao's troops return to the camp!"

"Don't come again when the opportunity is too late, my lord, think twice!"

Yuan Shang smiled and looked at Juhu.

"Yeah!" Juhu nodded: "Cao Ying has only 4 or [-] troops, which is already an excellent opportunity for our army to attack!"

"Okay!" Yuan Shang nodded: "All generals obey orders!"

"The last general is here!" The four generals clasped their fists in excitement.

Yuan Shangdao: "I will return to the headquarters immediately to prepare for the battle. Follow me out of the city to rob the camp at midnight tonight!"

"Obey!" The four generals snorted loudly, their blood surging.

Yuan Shang said again: "Sir, I will leave you eight thousand soldiers and horses to defend the city!"

"Obey!" Juhu clasped his fists in a signal.

Yuan Shang waved his hand, and the four generals retreated immediately.

In Jicheng, soldiers and horses were mobilized frequently, and Cao Jun's scouts soon found out, and immediately reported to Cao Cao.

Cao Cao ordered the army to strengthen its vigilance, and at the same time sent a message to the eight generals outside to prepare for the big battle.

At three o'clock that night, the gates of Jicheng opened wide.

Yuan Shang personally led [-] elite soldiers out of the city, followed by four generals.

Soon, Yuan Shang's troops approached Cao Jun's camp.

Yuan Shang pointed at the highest flag in the distance with his whip: "Over there is the Central Army of Cao Cao, and the highest flag is the Big Banner. All generals will follow me into the enemy camp and take the Central Army of Cao Cao directly!"

"Obey!" The four generals clasped their fists together.

"Raise the fire, charge!" Yuan Shang roared.

In an instant, [-] Yuan troops raised fire one after another.

"kill!"

As the roar sounded, countless Yuan Jun rushed into the enemy camp one after another.

After discovering the enemy, the soldiers on night watch immediately sounded the gongs and drums and sounded the alarm in the army.

Cao Ren immediately led the night watchmen to fight Yuan Jun.

The two armies fought endlessly.

Yuan Jun still adopted the strategy of creating riots and set fires everywhere in the camp.

As the two armies continued to fight, the fire in the camp became more and more intense.

All the army generals who were ambushing dozens of miles away saw this scene one after another.

Cao Hong, Xiahou Dun, Xiahouyuan, Zhang Liao, Zhang He, Xu Huang, Yu Jin and Li Dian.

Eight generals, divided into two groups.

Cao Hong, Xia Houyuan, Zhang Liao, and Zhang He will take the city of Ji.

Xia Houdun, Xu Huang, Yu Jin, and Li Dian led their troops back to Cao Jun's camp to help in the battle.

At this time, Yuan Jun has fallen into the quagmire of war.

Yuan Shang didn't understand it very much, and even said that he couldn't understand it.

In the beginning, he had an absolute advantage.

But the enemy quickly organized soldiers and horses to counterattack.

Casualties on both sides were almost one to one.

But even so, after fighting for more than an hour and a half, Cao Jun still had a steady stream of main forces.

Zhang Nan rode his horse and reported: "Master, Cao's army is fighting more and more, and there are probably more than 6 or [-] people!"

Jiao Touch returned with his troops: "My lord, the Chinese army has been defeated just now, and Cao Cao is not in the camp at all!"

Ma Yan said bluntly: "My lord, I'm afraid Cao Cao has already prepared, we have fallen into the trap!"

At this moment, Yuan Shang's mind went blank.

Cao Jun fought more and more, but Cao Cao was not in the big tent of the Chinese army.

All of this shows that Cao Cao has long been prepared.

But Cao Cao only has [-] to [-] troops, how could he suddenly double his strength?

Yuan Shang racked his brains and couldn't figure it out.

"There is something strange, withdraw, withdraw quickly!" Yuan Shang roared angrily.

"Quick retreat!" The generals shouted one after another.

Unfortunately, it's too late.

Four groups of people were killed outside the camp.

The leading general was Xiahou Dun who had suffered in the past.
