Chapter 1281: False Is Real, Real Is False
Bai Xiaowen was actually a little bit guilty in his heart.
Cao Cao, a well-known fraud expert, where is his real strategic intention?
Is it Anyang, or Wei County?
Regardless of Anyang or Wei County, the ultimate goal must be Yedu.
Anyang is the southern gateway, and Wei County is the eastern gateway, neither of which can be lost.
As the defensive side, although in the specific battle of defending the city, it has the defensive advantage of relying on the city wall, but in terms of grand strategy, it is easy to be led by the nose by the enemy.
Bai Xiaowen pretended to think about it, but decided to hang up:
"Everyone, wait a moment, let me enter the inner hall to meditate for a while."
Tian Feng, Dong Zhao and others were startled. Only Li Shuyi, Cecilia and Han Xu, three "confidant generals", followed Bai Xiaowen into the inner hall.
After entering the inner hall, Bai Xiaowen directly hung up the geographical map of mountains and rivers, entered the state of inner viewing, and injected spiritual power.
At the same time, imagine the images of Cao Cao, Xiahou Dun, Zhang Liao, Xu Huang and other senior generals of the Cao Army in turn.
On the geographical map of mountains and rivers, red dots appeared one after another.
After reading the first few, Bai Xiaowen is already determined.
These red dots, like a meeting, were densely crowded in Cao Jun's camp in front of Anyang City.
The so-called support for Cao Xiong is nothing at all!
"It seems that Cao Cao's main attack target is Anyang City." Cecilia said.
Li Shuyi said: "Did Cao Xiong be abandoned? He only has 3,000 people. After taking Fanyang, it is estimated that there will be less than 3,000. If he goes to attack Wei County, will the food and grass keep up?"
Bai Xiaowen said: "Cao Xiong was indeed given up. From this point of view, it is as I expected...Cao Cao has discovered that Cao Xiong is suspicious."
"Based on Cao Cao's IQ, he can indeed guess that it was Cao Xiong who poisoned Cao Pi and others. However, in Cao Cao's eyes, Cao Xiong is his own son after all. He can really use Cao Xiong as a bait and ignore him. Don't you care? This is too cruel." Li Shuyi said.
Bai Xiaowen shook his head: "I guess,
Cao Cao has even seen that Cao Xiong is not the previous Cao Xiong, but has been dropped. "
All three teammates nodded, thinking it was very possible.
Bai Xiaowen waved his hand and said, "Anyway, we will analyze and deal with Cao Cao's strategic base of attacking Anyang.
"First of all, Cao Cao pretended to support Cao Xiong and attack Wei County in order to trick us into sending troops to save Wei County.
"Secondly, if we want to mobilize troops, it must be mainly the troops of Dazhai, Zhang He, and Gao Lan in the west of the city.
"So, Cao Cao's goal is almost ready."
Cecilia said: "He wants to attack the camp in the west of the city."
"That's right, as long as we pull out the great stronghold in the west of the city, Cao Cao's army can surround Anyang City from all sides! Cut off the connection between Anyang and Yedu," Bai Xiaowen said. possible play."
Cecilia's mind turned quickly: "Can we do the opposite? When Cao Cao attacked our western camp in the city, we sent troops to attack Cao Cao's camp."
Bai Xiaowen shook his head and said, "A similar situation has already happened once in Guandu. Cao Cao is resourceful and resourceful, and he must prepare for his internal affairs when he goes out. In the camp, he must have left a strong general to guard him. If we fail to attack, the west of the city will be lost, and we will be defeated by Cao's army." The siege, that's unacceptable."
Li Shuyi said with a smile: "I know how to fight. I saw in Romance, the general counts the enemy's attack on the camp, and they always use ambushes, which can often defeat the enemy."
Bai Xiaowen laughed and said: "Shuyi is right, it's about the same as what I thought. However, I still have a plan. This time, I used the geographical map of mountains and rivers to see through Cao Cao's strategy. It is a great opportunity to tell the winner. Ambush The trick is just a small way, and it can't hurt Cao Cao; I want to take this opportunity to completely break Cao Cao's dragon veins!"
Interrupting Cao Cao's dragon veins is just a symbolic statement, just like killing the dragon in Go, it is a move that determines the outcome.
After a while, Bai Xiaowen returned to the senior military council room. He didn't talk about the process of using the geographical map of mountains and rivers, but issued general orders one after another, secretly deploying troops.
Although Tian Feng, Dong Zhao and other advisers were a little confused, they still trusted Bai Xiaowen's ability to use troops.
Bai Xiaowen's ability has been tested in actual combat, which is different from Yuan Shao.
Nothing happened that night, but Bai Xiaowen was a little surprised.
During the daytime of the next day, there was another urgent report from Wei County. After Cao Xiong's army formation, there was a lot of smoke and dust on several roads.
There are many banners such as "Fubo General Xiahou Dun", "Central General Zhang Liao", "Partial General Xu Huang", etc. I don't know how many soldiers and horses there are. The morale of the Cao army in Wei County was very high.
Many people under Bai Xiaowen's command, both civil and military, asked to fight to support Wei County, but Bai Xiaowen refused; Dong Zhao's suggestion to take the opportunity to attack Cao Jun's camp before Anyang was also rejected by Bai Xiaowen.
On the contrary, Tian Feng did not persuade him.
Someone persuaded Tian Feng that the matter was of great importance and he had to be advised.
Tian Feng stroked his beard and said with a smile: "The lord has a little bit of success in his heart, and his thoughts are exactly the same as mine. Why do you need to persuade me?"
Bai Xiaowen gave Tian Feng a thumbs up in his heart. Tian Feng must have understood Bai Xiaowen's thinking based on Bai Xiaowen's troop deployment last night.
Moreover, Cao Cao's "performance" was a bit too much.
I can't wait to tell everyone with drums and gongs that Cao Cao's main force is going to attack Wei County! You go to the rescue!
Soldiers are deceitful, the false is the real, the real is the false.
This move is somewhat useful against an indecisive master like Yuan Shao; but for a counselor of Tian Feng's level, it is a loophole; now it is used to deal with the cheating Bai Xiaowen, it is a dead end!
Bai Xiaowen made fine adjustments to last night's deployment, and strictly ordered all troops to obey the general's orders and not slack off.
...
At four o'clock, the night was dark.
From the camp of Cao Jun, a vanguard army quietly appeared, and went to Dazhai in the west of Anyang City at night to rob the camp!
This vanguard army, led by a general, was more than eight feet tall, had a majestic appearance, and held a horse-cutting sword. He was Cao Cao's favorite general Xu Chu. The army behind them, with their heads on their heads and horses bound on their hooves, moved forward quietly without making any sound.
Later, other troops of Cao Jun appeared one after another, keeping up with them in the distance.
Cao Cao was suspicious. Even though he had done so many preparations and used his own son (in the eyes of others) as a bait, he still would not throw all his troops into the camp. Xu Chu, who was prone to death, led three thousand soldiers and horses as a vanguard to investigate the situation.
If the enemy was really unprepared and the camp was empty, Zhang Liao and Xu Huang who followed behind would, under the leadership of Cao Cao, storm in and completely flatten the camp.
In fact, Cao Cao wanted to pull out this camp on the first day when he came to Anyang City. It's just that if you mainly attack the camp, it is difficult to capture it immediately, and you have to bear the baptism of arrow rain from the defenders at the head of Anyang City. The damage is too great and it is not worthwhile.
Therefore, Cao Cao resisted the desire to attack Dazhai, sent troops to attack Anyang City for two days, and never went to see Dazhai in the west of the city.
What for? It is to make the enemy unprepared and let the enemy mobilize the soldiers in the village to save Wei County!
Not long after, Cao Cao saw that Xu Chu was approaching Dazhai in the west of the city, but Yuan Jun hadn't responded yet.
A shrill cry yelled.
Xu Chu hacked to death the sentry in front of the gate of the village, and then he said hello, and three thousand soldiers and horses rushed into the village together!
"Successful! My son Yuan Xi, young and foolish, caught my trick!" Cao Cao jumped three feet high, and hastily ordered, "All generals! Come into the village and kill all the enemy soldiers in the village. Remove the last piece of wood!"
