Accustomed to Cao Cao's fuss, Cao Yuan just laughed.

Cao Cao ordered to summon the military generals to come to the big tent to discuss the matter.

A moment later, Guo Jia, Cheng Yu, Zhao Yun, Zhang Liao, Cao Hong and others all arrived.

When everyone saw that Cao Yuan had also arrived, their spirits were all uplifted.

Cao Cao swept everyone and shouted: "Send the order to go down, transfer all the escort grain, grass, soldiers and horses back to Yecheng, and immediately go down to the village on all sides to besiege Yecheng." "

The people looked at each other with a look of embarrassment.

"Sikong, Yuan Shang's cavalry is attacking my grain road from time to time, and our existing escort grain, grass, soldiers and horses are not enough to protect the grain team, if all of them are transferred back, won't the grain road be beaten into a sieve by Yuan's cavalry?"

Zhang Liao bluntly questioned.

The generals nodded their heads in agreement with Zhang Liao's words.

Cao Cao smiled and looked at Cao Yuan with a meaningful look.

Guo Jia saw the clue and hurriedly asked: "Sikong, could it be that the sub-guerrilla division has been offered to Sikong to crack the plan of the Yuan army's cavalry to rob grain?"

Cao Cao laughed: "Ziyou not only has a plan to crack it, he has already wiped out the last seven thousand cavalry of the Yuan family without spending a single soldier!"

In the big tent, the pot exploded immediately.

The generals were all pleasantly surprised, and their eyes looked at Cao Yuan.

"I don't know what a clever plan the Ziyou military division can easily break Yuan Shang's 7,000 cavalry?"

Guo Jia also asked curiously.

"Actually, it's simple, I just asked my concubine Zhen to write a letter to her father Zhen Yao before coming to Yecheng. "

Cao Yuan was unhurried and explained the plan.

It turned out that before he set off from Xudu, he expected that Yuan Shang would use the last cavalry to make a death struggle and raid Cao's army's grain road.

After the Yuan family's millions of grain and grass were burned in Guandu, the grain and grass military resources needed can only rely on the Zhen family to supply.

In addition to grain and grass, the Zhen family also had to supply fodder for Yuan Jun's war horses.

Cao Yuan asked Zhen Mi to write a letter to his father Zhen Yi, explaining the benefits and disadvantages to him, and persuading Zhen Yi and his son to turn their backs on Yuan Shang and submit to Cao Cao.

As a gift to Guishun, the Zhen family father and son wanted to start with the forage and get rid of Yuan Jun's war horses.

Zhen Yi is a businessman, who knows how to weigh the pros and cons best, and believes that the Yuan family will perish, so he naturally decisively chooses to fall to Cao Cao's side.

So, Zhen Yi and his son secretly made their hands and feet in the forage supplied to Yuan Jun's war horses, and poisoned 7,000 war horses in one fell swoop.

When the horses are gone, the seven thousand cavalry are useless.

The last hole card of the Yuan family was also wiped out.

And the letter sent by Xu Chu was Zhen Yi's good news, claiming that he had successfully poisoned Yuan Jun's war horse.

Guo Jia suddenly realized.

Cao Hong and other generals also suddenly became enlightened.

"Unexpectedly, Ziyou Junshi could think of using the Zhen family's chess piece to destroy Yuan Shang's cavalry without much effort. "

"This plan is really a stroke of God, and I admire it to the ground. "

Guo Jia bowed his hand to Cao Yuan, sincerely impressed.

Cao Hong and other generals and ministers saw Cao Yuan's methods again, and they were all amazed.

Cao Zhang, who was on the side, saw that everyone admired Cao Yuan very much, but he secretly frowned, and a disgust arose in his heart.

"Liu Bei's attack on Xu Du was unsuccessful, and most of them would do it to Liu Zhang, plotting to steal Yizhou. "

"Once the big-eared thief succeeds, he will be able to threaten me Wanluo and Guanzhong at the same time. "

"I thought that the battle of Yecheng must be resolved quickly, and we can no longer be as fierce as Guandu. "

"Only by breaking through Yecheng quickly can we return to the south in time and wipe it out before Liu Bei makes a move against Yizhou!"

Cao Yuanyang sprinkled and set the tone for Cao Cao's use of troops.

"Ziyou is reasonable, Yizhou has the danger of the Qinling Mountains, it is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and the big-eared thief must not be allowed to get it. "

Cao Cao thought so, but said: "However, Yecheng is the lair of the Yuan family, and the city is strong, so Yuan Shang has thickened the city wall in order to guard against our Tianwei cannon, and it may not be easy to break through Yecheng quickly." "

The voice fell.

Cao Yuan has not yet expressed his position.

Cao Zhang jumped up and said angrily: "What's so difficult about breaking Yecheng, my son asks my father to give an order to let my son lead the army to attack, and I will do whatever it takes to break through Yecheng for my father!"

The generals looked at each other, all of them were the third son of the Cao family, and the newborn calf smiled incomprehensibly.

"Zhang'er, it's good that you have such courage, but the siege of the city is not as simple as the war examples you read in the war books on paper. "

"Do you know how many times more soldiers and horses are needed to capture a big city like Yecheng, and how many sacrifices of soldiers and soldiers are needed to have a chance to break through?"

Cao Cao had a lot of complaints about Cao Zhang's recklessness, so he questioned him.

Cao Zhang was speechless, and he didn't know anything about Cao Cao's department.

"Fighting a war is not a child's play, and a soldier is not a simple number, you say sacrifice is sacrifice. "

"For my father, I know that you are eager to make meritorious contributions, but the more this is the case, the more you must guard against arrogance and rashness, learn the way of commanding the army from the generals, and learn the art of war from Ziyou and Fengxiao. "

"When you have the ability to lead the army, the Father will naturally give you a chance. "

Cao Cao took out his father's strictness and taught Cao Zhang again.

When Cao Zhang heard that he was asked to learn the art of war from Cao Yuan, he was immediately unhappy in his heart.

"The father's teachings were written down by the son. "

Cao Zhang's promise was serious, and he turned to Cao Yuan: "Ziyou Military Division's clever calculation, I would like to ask the military division, if we don't attack, how can we quickly break through Yecheng?"

Everyone heard the smell of gunpowder.

This is the third son of the Cao family, this is intended to embarrass Cao Yuan.

Cao Cao frowned, and immediately wanted to scold Cao Zhang.

Before the words came out, Cao Yuan smiled faintly and said: "I don't dare to ask Yuan, but it is a coincidence, I do have a plan, although it is not a clever plan, I should be able to break through Yecheng quickly." "

Cao Zhang was stunned.

With this kick, he kicked it to the iron plate.

Cao Cao's eyes lit up, and he happily asked, "What is Ziyou's plan?"

Cao Yuan pointed to the north and said lightly: "The northwest of Yecheng is adjacent to Zhangshui, so we will break the Zhangshui embankment and immerse the wall of Yecheng for ten days and a half months, and then bombard it with Tianwei cannons, are you still afraid that the bombardment will not collapse."
