Three Kingdoms: Stealing the Tiger Talisman and forcing Yuan Shao to become a monk

Chapter 466 Waiting for work at ease, waiting to go down the mountain!

"Wen Chang, I order you to prepare three thousand soldiers and horses, and set off from the northern foot of Changqing Mountain tomorrow, disguised as a food transport team heading to Qiao County! There must be no mistakes!"

Wei Yan hurriedly cupped his fists to accept the order, but there was still a bit of doubt on his face.

Seeing this, Yuan Tan just nodded and said: "Further to the east at the northern foot of Changqing Mountain, there is a small road that can directly lead to the vicinity of Qiaojun City. The mountain people know this news. Chun, I must know it too! As for why this arrangement is made, you should go down and think about it yourself, and don't miss the military situation!"

Wei Yan nodded quickly, and walked out of the Zhongjun tent with doubts.

The rest of Wenpin, Xu Shu, and Deng Ai all smiled knowingly after hearing Yuan Tan's order.

Xu Shu even bowed to Yuan Tan and said, "The teacher is very clever, and the disciples are really incomparable."

Yuan Tan waved his hand: "What kind of clever calculation is nothing more than the right calculation. It's just the thoughts of Cao Xiu and Cao Chun. Yuan Zhi, you should go down and prepare troops. If that kid Wei Yan hasn't figured it out yet, you can go and fight with him." Say it."

Xu Shu nodded immediately and exited the tent.

The rest of Deng Ai and Wenpin looked at Yuan Tan excitedly, and Yuan Tan said with a smile: "You two, at that time, Zhongye will lead the [-] government soldiers, and Shi Zai will also lead the [-] government soldiers. Equipped with Liannu weapons, ambush on both sides of Changqing Mountain, just waiting for Cao Xiu and Cao Chun to come out of the village to rob food!"

Wenpin and Deng Ai nodded knowingly, folded their fists and retreated.

But here, after Wei Yan left the tent of the Chinese army, he still looked confused. He vaguely grasped some key points under Yuan Tan's prompt.

But even though the layer of window paper was missing, I still couldn't figure it out.

After returning to the barracks, when the soldiers and horses were ordered, I was still thinking hard.

Under Yuan Tan's order, Xu Shu came to help Wei Yan prepare the disguise of the food transport team. Seeing Wei Yan's appearance, he smiled and said, "How about it, Wen Chang, haven't you figured it out yet?"

Wei Yan gave a bitter laugh, looked at Xu Shu and said, "Hey, Mr. Chang Shi, please stop showing off. What my lord said is so unclear and unclear. I really can't figure it out. Tell me, if you want me to pretend The purpose of forming the grain transport team is to lure Cao Xiu and Cao Chun down the mountain, I understand this truth."

Wei Yan paused, raised his hand to point to the vaguely visible banner with the word "Cao" on Evergreen Mountain, and spread his hands helplessly: "But Cao Xiu and Cao Chun are not fools. Could it be that when they saw our grain transport team, they didn't think twice about it?" , just hurriedly came down to rob food, there is no such possibility."

Xu Shu smiled slightly, but said calmly: "Why not?"

Wei Yan poked his neck: "I also went to investigate the military situation. The Changqing battalion has enough grain and no shortage of supplies. How could it be possible to risk going down the mountain just for this grain transport team?"

Xu Shu waved his hands and said with a smile: "Mr. Wen, you have abilities, and the teacher values ​​you a lot, but you still need to use your brains in everything. You can't just think about one thing, but think about more factors. A qualified commander, think about it, when I returned to the camp, which sentence was the most important among the information I told the teacher?"

"Which sentence is the most important?" Wei Yan was taken aback by Xu Shu's question, and subconsciously recalled Xu Shu's words he heard in the Chinese military tent before.

Evergreen Mountain is not conducive to cavalry charge?So Cao Xiu and Cao Chun can only go down the mountain if they want to fight?

But if you really want to go to war, you can just attack your own camp directly. Why bother with the grain transportation team?

and many more!

A bright light suddenly flashed in Wei Yan's eyes, and he looked up at Xu Shu with surprise!
"Could it be that, Mr. Changshi, you are saying that Cao Xiu and Cao Chun disobeyed Cao Cao's military orders?"

Xu Shu smiled slightly, looking at Wei Yan with more appreciation.

Originally, he only thought that Wei Yan was a reckless man, but his teacher valued Wei Yan very much, not even much worse than his junior brother.

Xu Shu was a little strange at first, but now it seems that although this Wei Yan is a bit reckless, he still has some talents.

At least with the inspiration of one sentence, you can quickly grasp the key to the matter.

This kind of keen intuition is also a very important ability for a general in charge of the army!
At that moment, Xu Shu nodded and said: "Exactly, Cao Xiu and Cao Chun disobeyed orders and disrespected them. Although the generals will not accept the orders of their rulers, and they are clan generals, even if they disobeyed orders, Cao Cao would not really punish them." After all, the battlefield is changing rapidly, and he is far away in Xuchang, so he can't see the actual situation here."

Wei Yan continued, his tone full of excitement and admiration!

"But no matter what, Cao Xiu and Cao Chun are both disobedient and disrespectful, so they have to give credit to see Cao Cao have something to say when they go back, and the grain transport team we sent out, in their view, is A fantastic opportunity!"

The more Wei Yan said, the more excited his tone became, and his eyes looking towards the direction of the military tent were full of admiration: "Marquis Qi is indeed far-sighted, it's better for me to wait!"

……

In the evening of the second day, Changqing was in the camp.

Cao Xiu and Cao Chun sat opposite each other. Cao Xiu said with a sad face: "Uncle, for the sake of our relationship, we should go back to Runan. Although it is a pity to abandon the Changqing Camp, uncle has given the order. , If we disobey orders like this, how can we explain to uncle when we go back?"

The uncle Cao Xiu mentioned was naturally Cao Cao from Xuchang.

Hearing Cao Xiu's words, Cao Chun lowered his head and didn't pay attention at all. He just drank tea cup after cup as if he was drinking. Finally, he put down the teacup with a bang, and said, "Xiu, do you think Uncle is incompetent and too reckless to lead an army?"

Cao Xiu shook his head hastily, but smiled wryly in his heart.

My uncle was good at everything, but he was too arrogant. He had failed many times in the past because of his arrogance.

Now he is facing off against Yuan Tan, his old opponent. He has [-] cavalry, including [-] tiger and leopard cavalry trained by his uncle.

Therefore, although Cao Xiu's official position is nominally higher than Cao Chun's, in terms of prestige in the army, Cao Chun, who personally trained tiger and leopard riders, is not much less than Cao Xiu.

So when Cao Cao's order came, Cao Xiu, who had always been prudent, immediately wanted to withdraw his troops and return to the camp, and retreated to Runan City to join Zhang Liao.

Rely on Runan's strong city to defend Yuan Tan's attack.

But once Cao Chun's stubborn temper came up, he couldn't be persuaded to go back. He had to fight Yuan Tan in this Changqing camp, and let Yuan Tan know Cao Chun's ability.

In desperation, Cao Xiu had no choice but to stay in the Changqing camp with Cao Chun.

Although Cao Chun has made it clear that Cao Xiu can withdraw directly, leaving only [-] troops for him is enough.

But how dare Cao Xiu do such a thing?

He was in the Evergreen Camp, but at the critical moment, he was able to persuade his uncle to calm down and not to do anything too messy.

But when he left, the whole camp became Cao Chun's monopoly. If all the [-] cavalry were trapped here, how would he explain to Cao Cao after he returned?
