Old Cao panicked.
According to his and his strategists 'estimations, this Great General's edict should be able to delay him for at least two months.
However, Qin Chuan's declaration of war had shattered his fantasies.
This wasn't something that Qin Chuan had imagined out of thin air.
In history, in order to get rid of the shackles of the puppet emperor, Yuan Shao got Chen Lin to write a criminal denunciation. He looked down on the literary talent of ancient and modern times and instantly spread this denunciation across the world.
Even Cao Cao himself was full of praise for the letter.
Qin Chuan looked at the flustered Old Cao and wanted to laugh.
Every time he encountered such a thing, he was always more nervous than the people at the top. For a registrar to do this, it was no wonder Cao Cao's great cause flourished.
Qin Chuan briefly recalled the entire battle between Yuan and Cao.
The battlefield was not in Qingzhou, but in Baima and Guandu.
After pondering for a moment, Qin Chuan smiled mysteriously and said,
"I think this Yuan Shao is most likely creating a diversion.”
Although this was only Qin Chuan's speculation, it was enough to shock Cao Cao and Guo Jia.
A diversion?
The two people's faces were steady, already calculating the possibility of Yuan Shao's diversion in their hearts.
In terms of geographical advantage, Yuan Shao had no advantage. The normal strategy would be to send out a vanguard to suddenly charge into the hinterland and seize an advantageous position for the army.
Most importantly, there were many mountains and rivers in Qingzhou. Not only was it not conducive to the army's expedition, but even the logistics supply was easily affected by the weather and would be cut off.
Looking at these problems, Qingzhou was not a good place for Yuan Shao to use troops.
In fact, Guo Jia had also thought about this problem, but the long border line, from Bingzhou, Jizhou to Qingzhou, had more than ten places to go south. He could not be sure if the other party was trying to divert their attention.
If it was really a diversion, then where was his real target?
If not, it would be too late for him to defend Xu Prefecture.
Seeing Qin Chuan's confident look, Cao Cao smiled and filled his cup with tea.
"Then in the eyes of Old Brother Qin, how do we determine if he's creating a diversion? If it's really a diversion, where should Yuan Shao move next?”
Qin Chuan sighed and leaned back in his chair. He used the tone of a student who had yet to open his mind and said,
"Old Cao, Old Guo, it's such a simple question, and you can't even figure it out?”
Simple?
F * ck, we thought about it for an entire night and still couldn't figure it out.
You've already seen through Yuan Shao's movements?
The two of them could not help but doubt their lives.
Could it be that the gap between our intelligence and Qin Chuan's has really reached such an extent?
Guo Jia, who was feeling aggrieved, could not help but calculate again.
There was nothing wrong with the rations.
Only Qingzhou had any movements in the army.
They didn't bring out their supplies.
No problem!
"Brother Qin, tell me, what is the secret behind this?”
Qin Chuan sat up straight once again and took a sip of Old Cao's tea before speaking softly.
"It's very simple. Just look at where these two people are and you will know what Yuan Shao's intentions are.”
"Who is it?"
"Yan Liang is ugly!"
！！！
As soon as Qin Chuan finished speaking, Cao Cao and Guo Jia's minds instantly became clear. It was as if a piece of gauze that was blocking them had been removed and light had returned to them.
Damn it, how could I forget about these two people!
They were the generals of the Yuan Army, the vanguard of the army.
Although Yuan Shao doted on his three sons and allowed them to command hundreds of thousands of troops, the first battle of each fierce battle was always fought by these two people!
If he wanted to know whether Yuan Shao was really preparing to attack Xuzhou, he only needed to see if Yan Liang, Wen Chou, and the others were in Qingzhou.
The two of them looked at Qin Chuan at the same time.
Awesome, this was really awesome!
Even though this wasn't the first time Qin Chuan had given them such a shock, every time they felt this kind of enlightenment, they couldn't help but marvel at the disparity between them and Qin Chuan.
"Currently, Yan Liang, Wen Chou, and the others are stationed in Li Yang…"
After Guo Jia finished speaking, his eyes lit up and he exclaimed,
"Understood! Yuan Shao's true goal was to send troops from Liyang, occupy Whiterun City, and then go straight to Xuchang!”
Qin Chuan looked at Guo Jia with admiration.
"Yes, Old Guo's brain is still quite flexible.”
Guo Jia's face darkened as he giggled.
These words sounded like a compliment.
But he couldn't feel happy no matter what. It was too awkward.
However, Old Cao did not agree. He also wanted Qin Chuan to be sure, so he added,
"Then I should advise my lord to immediately send troops to reinforce Whiterun, right?”
"Old Cao, look at you. You're not as agile as Old Guo.”
Wrong again?
Old Cao felt wronged. His sense of existence was so low.
But…that wasn't right.
Could it be that Brother Qin thinks that the 8,000 soldiers of Whiterun City can defend against Yan Liang and Wen Chou?
"Old Cao, if the lord sends more troops to Whiterun at this time, wouldn't it be telling Yuan Shao that he has already seen through it and that he can still attack you?”
It seemed like…
It made sense.
Ah, what a headache. I can't keep up with Brother Qin's train of thought.
In the past, Cao Cao felt that he only needed to analyze which strategy was more useful.
Now that he had Qin Chuan, he knew how powerless he was.
"Cao, don't be discouraged. Work harder. You still have potential.”
Qin Chuan patted his shoulder and comforted him.
Was this considered a compliment?
"Actually, this matter is very simple. My lord only needs to send two people from my army to easily disintegrate Yuan Shao's plan!”
"Cloud Changyi De!"
This time, Cao Cao finally had a chance to fight back.
Before Qin Chuan could praise him, his entire body was trembling with excitement.
Although Whiterun City had few soldiers, the city was solid. With Yan Liang and Wen Chou's usual style, they would definitely challenge the guards to lure them out of the city.
At this moment, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei would suddenly attack and kill Yan Liang and Wen Chou!
At that time, the Yuan army would collapse without fighting.
"What did I say? Old Cao, you have potential.”
Qin Chuan looked at Cao Cao with a comforting expression, as if saying that he had not let down his cultivation.
Old Cao didn't care about these details. Now that he had a plan to defeat Yuan, he couldn't be happier. He immediately cupped his fists and said,
"What a pity. Brother Qin wants to choose one of my children to be my master. If I take you as my master, the hierarchy will be messed up.”
"But we brothers are both teachers and friends, hehehe…"
Anyway, as long as your Brother Qin is happy, I, Old Cao, am willing to be your lapdog.
Smells good, really good!
