Sun Jian would never retreat?
Xi Zhicai did not understand why Chen Xuan was so certain.
Chen Xuan saw the doubt in Xi Zhicai's eyes and explained,"
"Sun Jian is a veteran general on the battlefield.
"He once fought alongside Dong Zhuo against the rebels of Liangzhou, so he knows Dong Zhuo's capabilities the best.
"Now, he has won consecutively.
"Based on his understanding of Dong Zhuo and his knowledge of war.
"He's definitely aware of one fact now.
"Dong Zhuo is only pretending.
"Therefore, even though he was already short of food and his morale was shaken, he was still unwilling to withdraw.
"I went to Mount Ji Luo three days ago, and from what I observed, he has definitely been short of food for more than a day or two.
"If he wanted to retreat, he would have done so long ago.
"Sun Jian wants to take a risk.
"The reason why he hasn't retreated is because he hopes that the alliance army can restore their rations.
"And why would the alliance army supply Sun Jian with rations so easily?
"After all, as I said before, the dukes don't want Dong Zhuo to die. They only want to know how to prevent Dong Zhuo from dying.
"And Sun Jian won consecutively.
"This has caused the dukes to start worrying.
"What if Sun Jian accidentally killed Dong Zhuo?
"Therefore, the person in charge of the grain arrangement will not transport the grain for Sun Jian.
"Sun Jian will always be short of food until the day he is defeated.
"After that, the alliance army will resume supplying him with food.”
"Indeed, everyone has ulterior motives.”Cao Cao narrowed his eyes and sighed," This way, Sun Jian can only plunder the people.”
"Although Sun Jian is strong, he can't do anything like robbing the people for the time being." Chen Xuan shook his head.”
"However, even if he doesn't do it, his soldiers might not do it either.
"This has further aggravated the internal disunity.
"Therefore, Sun Jian's defeat is inevitable.”
Chen Xuan finally stopped.
"I see." Xi Zhicai was enlightened.
He stared at Chen Xuan with admiration.
"Just now, Xuan boasted that there are three ways to break the current situation."
"These three strategies all originated from Sun Jian's defeat.”
Cao Cao and Xi Zhicai once again focused their attention on Chen Xuan.
"The best plan.
"The mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind.
"Wait for Sun Jian's 20,000-strong army to be defeated by the Western Liang army and flee.
"My lord, you will lead the elites to ambush them. We will catch them off guard and attack them when they are unprepared.
"This plan will minimize our casualties and maximize our victory.”
"The middle plan is to cooperate with Sun Jian.
"My lord took the initiative to tell him that the Western Liang Army might attack.
"Our two armies will ambush Dong Zhuo together.
"With this plan, we can't just sit back and watch the tigers fight. We have to suffer heavy casualties and share the spoils of war equally with Sun Jian.
"The worst plan is to avoid the strong and attack the weak. This is the supplement to the middle plan.
"If the lord chooses the middle plan, but Sun Jian is unwilling to cooperate, then we can choose the worst plan.
"We've already told Sun Jian that he'll be attacked. Even if Sun Jian doesn't believe us, he'll be prepared.
"Therefore, Sun Jian, who was prepared, wouldn't be caught off guard and flee.
"As long as he can hold off the Western Liang army that attacked him for a longer time, our plan will succeed.
"My lord took advantage of the time gap between Sun Jian's army and the Xi Liang army to seize the Si River while the Wei River Pass was empty.
"Even if we can't win, we won't lose.
"And if we can't seize Mushui Pass in a short time, we will return to Mount Jiluo.
"With Sun Jian's army attacking from the front and back, we will definitely be able to deal a heavy blow to Dong Zhuo's army.
"This plan has the suspicion of being risky, and the results can be big or small.
"The bigger one can take the Lishui Pass;
"I have the confidence to defeat Dong Zhuo.
"As for whether it's big or small, it depends on whether the generals under my lord can command them.”
After Chen Xuan finished speaking, the three people in the tent fell silent again.
Cao Cao and Xi Zhicai were carefully analyzing the feasibility of Chen Xuan's three strategies.
Half an incense's time passed.
Cao Cao gradually became restless, his blood boiling and his heart surging.
He turned to look at Chen Xuan.
He saw Chen Xuan, dressed in a black dress, sitting on the seat with his eyes closed.
At this moment, Cao Cao had completely understood Chen Xuan's three plans.
Chen Xuan's Three Tactics sounded extremely simple.
But was it really that simple?
If it was really simple.
Why didn't anyone think of him, why didn't anyone think of him?
Today, Chen Xuan had grown from nothing to something, from zero to one.
All the analysis and deductions were seamless, reasonable, logical, and connected.
There was analysis, predictions, and different plans to achieve different results.
This was not simple!
Chen Xuan's abilities were far beyond Cao Cao's imagination!
Chen Xuan felt Cao Cao's burning gaze and opened his eyes.
Cao Cao grabbed Chen Xuan's hand and exclaimed excitedly,"
"Tai Ah is really my good assistant!"
Xi Zhicai sat at the side, feeling a little awkward.
However, Cao Cao immediately walked between Chen Xuan and Xi Zhicai.
He held Xi Zhicai's hand with one hand and Chen Xuan's hand with the other, gripping them tightly.
"With ambition and the help of Tai-ah, I, Cao Mengde, don't have to worry about not being able to achieve anything!”
The three of them then began to discuss the details of the plan. They did not finish a meal until midnight.
"We'll discuss it tomorrow."
Cao Cao sent the hungry Chen Xuan and Xi Zhicai out of the tent and watched them leave.
Looking at Chen Xuan's back, Cao Cao heaved a sigh of relief.
He was glad, but more than that, he was excited.
He took out a piece of silk from his bosom.
He unfolded it.
It was a silk painting.
It was a silk painting depicting Chen Xuan's appearance, and it was 80% similar.
Turning around and returning to his tent, Cao Cao placed the silk painting into the brazier and allowed it to curl and burn in the charcoal fire.
Chen Xuan's letter did seem to be written by Cai Yong.
However, it was better to be careful.
Cao Cao was not sure if Chen Xuan was a spy sent by someone else.
Even though normally, no one would send such an outstanding person as a spy.
However, it was always good to be careful.
He had not arranged any matters for Chen Xuan a few days ago because he did not trust Chen Xuan.
Having Chen Xuan come here today to give advice was to remove the suspicion they had towards him.
Cai Yong's son-in-law is indeed Chen Xuan.
It was just that Chen Xuan's performance in front of him today was really too astonishing.
It made him unable to suppress his ecstasy!
In ancient times, those who set up great things were not only outstanding talents, but also extraordinary talents to assist them. Only when there were many talents could they achieve great things!
The Duke of Zhou got Lv Wang, the Duke of Qin got Fan Sui, the Duke of Qi got Guan Zhong, and the King of Han got Zhang Liang. There was probably no better way than this!
He had very few friends, and there were almost no scholars who were willing to make friends with him.
His family could be considered as generations of public officials, and they were even once relatives of the imperial family. Their power was extremely high for a time.
However, the reason why Yuan Shao was willing to mingle with him was for the benefit of the family and to have an additional way to speak to the eunuchs.
Most of the other great clans looked at him coldly.
His birth was destined that only those poor families with no hope of rising would come to work for him.
Therefore, other than those who were talented in acting, they were all thieves.
And now, by chance, the heavens had actually sent him such a great gift!
Don't you think it's fate?
Cao Cao stared at the charcoal fire in a daze.
A gust of wind blew the curtains of the tent, and a few snowflakes came in.
The room suddenly turned cold.
However, the silk painting in the brazier was blown by the wind and burned violently.
Cao Cao's body and mind were warm.
