Dongping Country, by the Sishui River.
Cao Cao, who had traveled from Tancheng, returned to Yanzhou safely.
Although he was worried about Juan City, Cao Cao did not choose to directly send his troops there.
Cao Cao was worried that Zhang Miao and Chen Gong would occupy Dongping and cut off the main roads of Kangfu and Mount Tai. They would use the dangerous terrain to deal with him. He was prepared to take down Dongping first before fighting with Zhang Miao and Chen Gong.
As for Juan City, Cao Cao was good at using military tactics, so how could he give the enemy a chance to surround the city?
If they took down Dongping Country, they would be able to coordinate with Juancheng. They could attack and defend.
As Cao Cao set up camp, he sent people to investigate the situation in the Country of Dong Ping.
However, before the scouts returned, Cheng Yu, who had received the news, arrived at the Si Water Military Camp first.
"My lord has returned so quickly!”Cheng Yu was a little surprised.
Cheng Yu had thought that Cao Cao would need at least a month to return. He did not expect that in just half a month, the army would appear in the Country of Dong Ping.
Cao Cao was quite pleased with himself." I sank all my supplies into the Si River. I traveled lightly and simply. I traveled along the Si River with the wind. I could travel more than a hundred miles in a day!"”
"Ming Gong is wise!" Cheng Yu was filled with admiration.
Putting all the supplies into the Sishui River was not something an ordinary person could do.
However, to Cao Cao, Yanzhou was the foundation. If the supplies sank in the Si River, they could be rebuilt, but if Yanzhou was gone, no matter how many supplies they had, it would only benefit the enemy.
"Zhongde, how is the situation in Yanzhou?" After exchanging pleasantries, Cao Cao's expression became serious as he asked about the main matter.
Zhang Miao and Chen Gong's betrayal made Cao Cao's heart sink, but since things had come to this, he could only endure his grief and take back Yanzhou.
Cheng Yu's gaze became a little complicated.
"Zhong De, did Juancheng fall?" Cao Cao was shocked.”
Cheng Yu shook his head." Ming Gong, Juancheng, Fan County, Dong 'e, and Puyang are all here. After Guo Gong withdrew his troops, the Li family of Cheng County in Shanyang County raised their troops to kill the rebels and recaptured Juye City.”
"Chen Gong was defeated by me at Cang Ting Jin and almost captured alive by Jin Yun at Fan County. When he returned to Puyang, he encountered Han Hao's ambush and fled back to Chen Liu in a sorry state.”
"Most importantly, Zhang Miao and Lu Bu, whom Chen Gong was serving, lied that they were going to Mount Tai Road to ambush Ming Gong. They led more than ten thousand elite soldiers from Chen Liu to Shanyang County and headed for Xiaopei.”
"Xun Sima saw the reversal of the situation in Yanzhou and lobbied the nobles of the various counties. Now, other than Chenliu County and Jiyin County, the eight counties of Yanzhou have all been recovered.”
When Cheng Yu said this, Cao Cao felt numb.
Out of the eight counties of Yanzhou, only Chenliu County and Jiyin County were still under Zhang Miao and Chen Gong's control.
Therefore, I traveled all the way back to Yanzhou after half a month on the Si River. I couldn't eat or sleep well.
Xi Zhicai was also silent.
At the beginning, the three-win argument was used by Xi Zhicai to stabilize the morale of the army.
However, reality was even more magical than he had expected. They had painstakingly returned, but Zhang Miao and Chen Gong were both crippled!
"Zhongde, what is going on?”Cao Cao took a deep breath and calmed his emotions,""Juancheng, Fan County, Dong 'e, and Puyang, I'm not surprised that you can hold them. But what was going on with Lu Bu? Why did he kidnap Zhang Miao's 10,000 elite soldiers and run to Xiao Pei?”
Lu Bu had taken away these 10,000 elite soldiers of Chen Liu, almost crippling Zhang Miao!
All the counties in Yanzhou rebelled. Although it seemed like a massive rebellion, the soldiers in the counties were all a motley crew. The ones who truly decided the outcome were the elite soldiers that Zhang Miao had trained in Chenliu for many years.
These elite soldiers had participated in the battle against Dong!
In the end, Lu Bu kidnapped half of the elite soldiers, and Si Ni died in Fan County due to carelessness.
Zhang Miao's Chen Liu Army didn't even have five thousand men left.
Lu Bu's transfer of troops to Xiaopei could be said to be the key to affecting the entire Yanzhou war!
"It's Xianmou!"
Cheng Yu also took a deep breath. When he learned that Lu Bu had abducted Zhang Miao's 10,000 elite soldiers to Xiaopei, Cheng Yu was also in disbelief.
"Xianmou gave Lu Bu three plans."
"The worst plan is to kill Zhang Miao and Chen Gong in secret with lightning speed and announce to the public that they died in the hands of Ming Gong. While Guo Gong was attacking Juan City, they would attack Guo Gong's rear and then quickly advance to Mount Tai's entrance to ambush Ming Gong!”
Cao Cao was shocked." If Lu Bu is really like this, I will die without a burial place!" Unfortunately, this plan was too hasty. Even if he won, Lu Bu would lose the hearts of the people in Yanzhou and would find it difficult to establish himself in Yanzhou. Lu Bu had wild ambitions and would not choose the worst option.”
"Indeed!" Cheng Yu nodded. Seeing that Lu Bu had refused, Xianmou gave him another suggestion.”
"Let Lu Bu inform Yuzhou Governor Guo Gong of Chen Gong's Yanzhou strategy. He will not use any weapons to repel Guo Gong's army, then defend Puyang and lure Ming Gong into a fight.”
Cao Cao frowned." The worst plan is too fast, and the middle plan is too slow. Moreover, if we defend Puyang, our chances of victory and defeat are 50 - 50. However, this plan seemed to be targeted at Zhang Miao and Chen Gong. What's the best plan?"
Cheng Yu's eyes turned cold. Gather the army of Danyang, get millions of troops, and achieve the cause of becoming king and overlord!”
Cao Cao's eyes widened.
A moment later, Cao Cao's laughter rang out in the commander's tent,""Foolish Lu Bu, you're trying to sell your reputation as the overlord of learning!”
"But only such a domineering strategy can make Lu Bu go to Xiaopei willingly!”
"Use false pretenses to instigate them to come forward, cut off their support, and fall into death. If you get poisoned, you'll be in a bad position!"
"Xianmou's plan of going up the house and pulling out the ladder is even better than before!“
