Two days later, Guandu cleared up, and it was officially midsummer.
At the same time, Cheng Yu from Xu Prefecture also rushed over. Everything was going as Guo Yun had predicted.
Today, Cao Cao once again gathered his civil and military officials together. It could be said that they were the strongest lineup participating in the Battle of Guandu.
On the left were Cao Ren, Cao Hong, Xiahou Dun, Xiahou Yuan, Xu Huang, Guan Yu, Yu Jin, Li Dian, Yue Jin…On the
right were Guo Jia, Xun Yu, Jia Xu, Cheng Yu, Xun You, Yang Xiu…Beside
Cao Cao was Xu Chu, who was holding the Five Mountain-Splitting Axes.
"The Prime Minister has ordered me to come over. Is there something important happening?”
The first to speak was Guan Yu.
Outside Whiterun City, tens of thousands of Yuan soldiers were looking around. Once he left, danger would lurk everywhere.
After all, Liu Yan was not a general. If he were to encounter an enemy, no one in the entire East County would be able to fight him except Guan Yu.
The other generals didn't know what was going on and looked at Cao Cao worriedly.
With this gathering, there were a few vacant generals on the long battle line.
"General Guan, please wait a moment.”
Guo Jia said somewhat helplessly. Guo Yun was clearly in the middle of the army, but he had to wait until Si Shi to come over.
As soon as Guo Jia finished speaking, Guo Yun's voice came from outside."I'm here. I'm here to give you a good look.”
[Ding
! Congratulations to the host for punching in on time. Points 100.]】
Guo Yun heard the system notification and walked towards Guo Jia.
"Over there."
Xun Yu shot a glance at Guo Yun,""You're a Nakagami."
"I'm a strategist who gives advice to the lord. How can I stand with them?”
Guo Yun was very unwilling.
"You are the Zhonglang General!"
"I'm not going over anyway!"
"Why?"
Xun Yu was dumbfounded. Although the position was not very important, it was still a military tent meeting, so there had to be some rules.
Guo Yun whispered into Xun Yu's ear,""The smell is very strong. Can't you smell it?"
Cao Ren: "Convex ()"
Cao Hong: "(o) Convex"
Xiahou Dun: "(Convex XXXX = XXXX Convex)"
Guan Yu: "(XXXX x XXXX;)"
Everyone: "|"
This, can you blame us?"
Zhongxia rode his horses from all the battlefronts, so he could not avoid sweating.
"Stop fooling around, Mystic Immortal."
Seeing the generals rubbing their fists, Cao Cao said unhappily,""I have urgently summoned all the soldiers here because I have decided to engage in a life and death battle with Yuan Shao!”
What?
The generals who didn't know what was going on revealed shocked expressions.
The enemy was strong and they were weak. It was already good enough that they could hold off at Guandu. At least, they could rely on small-scale confrontations to temporarily gain an advantage. It had only been ten days, and they could not help but want to fight a decisive battle?
Which war didn't last three to five months?
Guan Yu was straightforward. His phoenix eyes narrowed as he said,"Prime Minister, isn't this too childish?"
"Generals, don't be anxious. This battle…"
"I'll win!"
Cao Cao did not answer Guan Yu's question. At this time, there was no need to explain anything to the generals.
Just listen to my orders.
Of course, other than Guan Yu, the other generals only looked at each other and no one asked any further questions.
After all, Cao Cao had so many strategists by his side. Since he had made this decision, they would just ask for orders to fight to the death.
"Report!"
The news that Cao Cao had been waiting for had finally arrived.
A scout hurriedly ran in.
"Reporting to the Prime Minister, Yuan Shao's messenger has reported that Yuan Shao refuses to negotiate peace!”
After the scout finished speaking, the camp fell silent. Other than the heavy breathing, there was no other sound.
The generals looked at each other in disbelief.
Cao Cao was dumbfounded.
Guo Jia, Xun Yu, and the others were also dumbfounded!
The plan was already set, and just when Yuan Shao took the bait, this guy actually became smarter?!
How is this possible?
Giving up the two seals was not a lack of sincerity. In Cao Cao's opinion, with Yuan Shao's arrogant personality, he would definitely accept the peace negotiations.
"Did something go wrong?”
Jia Xu frowned. In terms of strategy, he was not as good as Guo Jia. In terms of details, he was not as good as Xun Yu.
However, seeing through human nature and playing with people's hearts, he, Jia Xu, acknowledged that he was second in the Three Kingdoms, but no one dared to claim that he was first.
However, just as he had been deducing for two consecutive days and was confident.
He had been slapped in the face!
"Our army holds three prefectures. If we give them all, Yuan Shao won't believe it.”
"The two regions are the best choice.”
Jia Xu said slowly, his gaze looking at Guo Yun,"Mystic Immortal, what do you think?"
"There is no problem with Lord Jia's plan.”
Guo Yun was also very puzzled. She thought for a moment and said,"Could it be that we really have to bring the Son of Heaven over and use the mouth of the Son of Heaven to negotiate peace with Yuan Shao?”
Guo Yun had not forgotten about this.
But there were too many variables.
Putting aside whether the emperor would really stand on Cao Cao's side, what if the emperor defected to the enemy under the encirclement of Yuan Shao's 420,000 troops?
Once their plan was seen through, it would be impossible for Cao Cao's 120,000 troops to defend against the 420,000 troops.
Just as everyone was thinking about it, they were still puzzled.
Another scout ran in.
"Report!"
"Reporting to the Prime Minister, Wuchao has won a great victory.”
The scout looked around excitedly and panted,""General Zang Ba led 3,000 elite soldiers to disguise as Yuan Shao's army and ambush outside Wuchao. When the 2,000,000 dan of rations arrived, he burned all the rations of Yuan Shao's army!”
[What?]
Everyone widened their eyes in shock!
Even Guo Yun was stunned.
"How, how is this possible?”
The most surprised person was none other than Xu Chu. He quickly stepped forward and grabbed the scout."Are you sure?"
"General Xu!"
"Absolutely!"
"The scouts from the three armies saw the fire in Wuchao last night. The scouts from the left and right armies went to scout. General Zang Ba risked his life and fought valiantly with Chunyu Qiong, a fierce general under Yuan Shao, in the fertile fields. He only left after the fire in Wuchao burned out…"
Everyone looked at each other.
Was this a good thing or a bad thing?
No wonder Yuan Shao refused to negotiate peace!
The moment you invited him to negotiate peace, you set fire to his rations.
Even if Yuan Shao had a pig's brain, he would not believe that Cao Cao's peace negotiations were real!
It wasn't a war crime!
"Wouldn't I have made a great contribution this way?!”
Xu Chu's eyes suddenly lit up as he muttered to himself thoughtfully.
"
…You guys can leave first."
After a while, Cao Cao dismissed the generals and left behind a group of strategists to re-strategize. After Guan Yu and the others left, Cao Cao suddenly thought of something."Zhongkang, you broke through Wuchao and burned two million stones of rations.”
"Where, where."
Xu Chu grinned and scratched his head."This is all the credit of the abstruse immortal."
"En, Gongda, remember General Zang Ba's contribution and go back to Xuchang to be conferred the title of Marquis Ting.”
"My lord, there is no news of General Zang Ba's death?!”
Xun You asked in confusion.
"He didn't die. We'll delay the military aircraft!"
Guo Jia was speechless.
Guo Yun was speechless.”
"
Sixteen
days. It's been a full sixteen days, and Zang Ba hasn't sent any news back!"”
Cao Cao was furious. He took a deep breath and suppressed the anger in his heart as he explained,"Even if he wants to pretend to be an ambush by Yuan Shao's army, he should at least let the scouts inform him. If he delays our military's victory over Yuan Shao, I will kill him even if I have to burn another two million dans of rations!”
No wonder Cao Cao was so angry.
If he didn't interfere in such a matter, he would be talking about life with Yuan Shao at this moment.
Today, at 7 pm, it would be the time to break Yuan Zhou's army.
After a long time, Cao Cao calmed down a little. He asked hopefully,
"Everyone, is there any way to make Yuan Shao believe in my determination to negotiate peace?"”
