Three Kingdoms open plug-ins everywhere

At least those aristocratic families who haven't completely lost their ambitions and still retain their blood and pioneering momentum will want to break into it.

At least some of the non-direct descendants of the major families want to break through to pursue their own value and ambition.

The map of thousands of miles of rivers and mountains is a Pandora's box, which can not only release the ambition of turning a family into a country, but also release the seeds of colonization.

Of course, Xu Ding also has a more appropriate term here, which is to pass on the contradiction.

Domestic conflicts can be diverted by expanding outward, aiming at each other's spearheads and fighting outside.

Leaving a way out for others, in the art of war, there are three encircles and one missing, and it is also applicable here.

After Xu Ding and the others left, Cao Cao studied the map for a long time, but he still couldn't calm down. Finally, he looked at where Xu Ding was leaving and murmured:

"Bokang is not kind! If everyone in the world knows about this, they will not be so active in fighting."

Liu Ye said with deep worry: "It is said that Marquis Weihai's strategy is unparalleled in the world, and seeing him today is really beyond compare. This skill is big enough and advanced. I believe he has been preparing for a long time."

"So Ziyang still has the confidence to defeat Bokang?" Cao Cao asked.

Liu Ye thought for a while and said, "It's hard to win, and it's also hard to take Qingzhou, but we still have to wait and see, at least we haven't chosen another path yet.

The pancakes Weihaihou threw out were too big, and it was easy to choke on them. "

"Put away the map first, let's go back, let's start the battle tomorrow, don't make Yuan Benchu ​​wait too long." Cao Cao was tired of picking up the map of thousands of miles of rivers and mountains, tucking it under his armpit like a baby.

Yuan Shao had been waiting for several days with the army under Pingyuan City. If Cao Cao didn't fight here, he would have to hold back.

No one is a fool, and no one is willing to be the first bird.

The relationship between Cao Cao and Xu Ding is the best among the princes. If Cao Cao doesn't fight, it won't push them into the pit.

Even Yuan Shaojun had prepared a good direction. When they came, they borrowed the way from Dongjun, but if something happened, they would withdraw from Qinghe County and return to Jizhou.

But then he would have to pay Gongsun Zan a sum of money. Although it was not much, Yuan Shao felt sorry for the fee.

After Xu Ding returned to Zhu'a City, he directly said to the generals: "After Cao Cao sends the letter of war tomorrow, the whole army will retreat and retreat to Licheng."

Ju Shou asked: "Why did my lord suddenly change the plan? It was a bit early to withdraw."

Xu Ding said: "Cao Cao is playing for real this time, not pretending. He didn't bring the cavalry to meet today."

What's the point of meeting without cavalry, he was just a bunch of infantry.

If Guo Jia is here, he will definitely add a tiger and leopard ride.

It's just that Guo Jia went to Pingyuan City to compete with Yuan's army.

So Ju Shou waited for a while before responding: "What the lord means is that Cao Cao's tiger and leopard cavalry are hiding and are waiting for an opportunity to attack."

Xu Ding shook his head and said: "Recently, the news sent back from the horse inspection team said that Cao Cao's tiger and leopard cavalry were not found, which means that he did not bring him to Jibei Kingdom, so where did his tiger and leopard cavalry go? They haven't fought since the tiger and leopard cavalry became an army. It’s only one battle, and the time to form an army is short, and they will definitely lose if they confront our army’s cavalry head-on, so they can only play a sneak attack, but the direction of this sneak attack is open to question.”

Ju Shou suddenly realized, and hurriedly said: "The tiger and leopard cavalry did not go east with Cao Cao, so he can go south. Cao Cao has always had the idea of ​​annexing Xuzhou. Yuan Shu attacked Xuzhou, and Tao Qian and Shuzhi focused on the west. With Yuan Shu's army, if Cao Cao's men go from Shanyang County to Xuzhou, Tan County, the state capital, may not be safe."

Silk!

Following Jushou's thinking, everyone imagined that Tao Qian's base camp was taken away, then Xuzhou fell, and Wang Xiu, Zhou Tai and others were surrounded by Cao Jun and Yuan Shu's soldiers.

The winner of the South Road will be determined.

Cao Yuan's allied forces marched northward from Langya County, attacked Huanglong and attacked Donglai and Beihai. In this way, they cut off the retreat of the Central Route Army, and the Central Route Army was surrounded.

It is quite dangerous for the Central Route Army to be besieged and attacked on three sides.

What a move.

It seems that the six princes divided their forces to attack, and there was not much intersection and connection. In fact, they made a big move.

"No! Cao Cao won't send someone to join forces with Yuan Shu. Cao Cao knows Yuan Shu's personality and behavior very well. He won't do such a kind and generous deed without compensation." Xu Ding knew Cao Cao too well, so he pointed to Mount Tai on the map and said: " Cao Cao's goal should be Mount Tai, and his Yanzhou Army will never be able to go north with peace of mind if Mount Tai is not pulled out.

Including the possible alliance between Cao Cao and Yuan Shu that you have guessed, if there is no Taishan County, Cao Cao and Yuan Shu can jointly attack Tan County and it will be successful, but Taishan is stuck in the neck of his eastward advance, and Cao Cao will not be controlled by others.

His goal must have been Taishan County from the very beginning, even all the time or even the only one. "

Looking at Xu Dingdian's hand in Taishan County, everyone felt enlightened again.

Right!

The fact that Mount Tai is in the county is the key to restricting Cao Cao's eastward development.

Yanzhou has the power to advance eastward if it has Mount Tai, but it can only defend passively if it loses Mount Tai.

"My lord, inform Zhengnan immediately, and let him be careful that Cao Cao's tiger and leopard cavalry detour to Xuzhou to attack the southern region of Tainan." Ju Shou quickly suggested.

Xu Ding shook his head and said: "It's late, there's no rush at this time, Cao Cao deliberately delayed a few days, and another day to meet with me, in order to attract our attention, and then paralyze us, for his tigers and leopards Ride to buy time.

If I guessed correctly, it was probably Chen Deng who advised Tiger and Leopard Cavalry. "

Chen Deng is from Xuzhou. Although the Chen family is destroyed, they still have connections in Xuzhou.

He wanted the Tiger and Leopard Riders to hide and enter the country, and attack the southern part of Taishan County by detour. The probability of success was above the ninth floor.

"Then what should we do, Cao Cao is so cheap, and Taishan County is handed over to him?" Dian Wei grumbled.

Ju Shou said: "That's not enough. Although the southern part of Mount Tai cannot be preserved, the essence and important town of Mount Tai are still in the north. Now notify Zhengnan, and Zhengnan will send troops to fortify Zhushui to prevent Cao's army from going north.

Moreover, Zhicai will also send troops to the south to support Taishan. We can't afford to lose Taishan County, and we can't lose it. "

Xu Ding nodded and said: "That's right, although Cao Cao took advantage of it first, but his cavalry is not in front of us, then he will have a hard time in the future."

Chapter 593

The next day, on behalf of the envoys, Cao Jun went to Zhu'a City to hand in the letter of war.

Very formal and retro.

The Xu Ding Department of Zhu'acheng also went out of the city to receive the envoy, took over the opponent's letter of challenge, and returned an equally polite letter of challenge.

The two sides exchanged letters of war, and then both bowed and saluted.

Just when Cao Envoy was about to leave, Xu Ding's envoy stopped him and said, "Your envoy, wait a moment."

"I don't know what's the matter with your envoy? But there is a problem with the war letter?" Cao envoy asked.

Xu Shi said: "There is no problem with the letter of war. I just want to ask your army on my behalf. Since the letter of war has been exchanged, you and I are enemies. Now that we can start a war, do you want to fight for generals?"

Fighting generals is a very primitive and retro way of dating, which can not only reflect each other's strength, but also improve the morale of one's own side and suppress the spirit of the other side.

But Cao Shi shook his head and said: "Our army has no such intentions, please tell the Marquis, we can go to war directly."
