Chapter 871 Zhang Liao's plan
Chapter 871 Zhang Liao's plan
Cao's army and Xuzhou's army were on alert, not daring to move.
But Zhang Liao gradually moved away with his soldiers and horses, making the illusion that he was going to attack Yuan Xi.
In this way, Liang Yong was more sure that Cao Ang was here to help Youzhou.
Liang Yong became entangled, Cao Jun's [-] troops cannot turn a blind eye.
However, what he didn't know was that Cao Ang was also very anxious at this time.
Cao Cao didn't dare to advance rashly, so he stopped to rest and be alert.
He called Xun You and Jia Xu in the big tent.
"The Xuzhou army will definitely regard us as an enemy. If we go to war, wouldn't it be just for helping Zhang Yu?"
Cao Ang and the others are here to make trouble, but they face an important problem, that is, their enemies are not only Zhang Yu, but also Yuan Shao's soldiers and horses.
If they don't handle it well, they will be besieged, and they may also help Zhang Yu.
In short, Cao Ang is facing a big problem.
Now it has become a confrontation between them and Xuzhou's soldiers and horses, helping Zhang Yu.
After thinking for a while, Jia Xu said: "My lord, I'm afraid that the generals of Youzhou deliberately lured us here to contain each other. If we want to break the situation, one of the ways is to attack the soldiers and horses of Youzhou. It is to retreat directly, so that Yuan Jun in Xuzhou can go to support Yuan Xi."
Now, no matter how resourceful they are, there is no good way, and there is no room for them to use them.
"Okay, in the early morning, we quietly evacuated and let Xuzhou's soldiers and horses go to support Yuan Xi." Cao Ang said helplessly.
It was really helpless. Although Cao Ang brought 10 people, he did not dare to intervene rashly.
One is that the food and grass have not arrived, and the other is that they are afraid of being besieged.
In the early morning, Cao Ang and the others retreated quietly, but Liang Yong didn't find out until after dawn.
Liang Yong didn't dare to act rashly, thinking that the enemy was in ambush.
A large number of scouts were scattered, but no enemy was found in the end, so they started to act.
Liang Yong continued to set off, this time his speed was very slow and he dared not go fast.
Zhang Liao has been paying attention.
"General, Cao Jun retreated, but they didn't fight." It was Xu Li's turn to investigate, so he reported.
"As expected, this Cao Ang will not work for us, we must find a way to make them fight." Zhang Liao said.
Zhang Liao thought for a while and said, "In the name of Cao Jun, I am sure they will be fooled if I give the Xuzhou Army a surprise attack at night."
In any case, there is nothing wrong with deepening their hatred.
Liang Yong was careful when marching during the day, for fear of the enemy's surprise attack, and they began to set up camp at night.
But in the middle of the night, the enemy army appeared and attacked their camp. Fortunately, they were well prepared and suffered little loss.
During the pursuit, they confiscated sporadic items, including armor and weapons, which were suspected to be Cao Jun's soldiers and horses.
There is no conclusive evidence, but Cao Jun is more likely.
Liang Yong had to be careful.
Although pretending to be Cao Jun and attacking Liang Yong, Zhang Liao still failed to achieve his goal.
Zhang Liao was thinking about how to make the two armies fight.
While Zhang Liao was thinking, a letter from Zhang Yu arrived.
"That's it, that's it." Zhang Liao received Zhang Yu's letter.
In the letter, Zhang Yu explained the strategy to Zhang Liao in detail, explained the purpose of Cao Jun, and the grand strategy, and at the same time gave Zhang Liao some suggestions.
After researching, Zhang Liao decided to say: "My lord stands tall and sees far, and I have fully figured it out."
Zhang Liao knew Cao Ang's purpose, so it was convenient for him to prepare.
"Order the whole army to move forward at an accelerated pace, and clear the marks. The scouts will move and kill Yuan Cao's scouts in a large area." Zhang Liao ordered.
Both Yuan and Cao are here to prevent Zhang Liao and the others from taking Qingzhou, so he simply disappears, making both sides lose their target and suspect each other at the same time.
Zhang Liao disappeared immediately, and the two of them really began to become suspicious and sent a large number of scouts.
The scouts from the three parties fought fiercely. Later, Zhang Liaofang withdrew, and their scouts also fought fiercely when they encountered them.
However, they have been in motion all the time, and they all headed in the direction of Qi State.
Two days later, they all arrived at the border of Qi State, and the expected battle did not occur.
The two armies are more than 50 miles apart and are wary of each other.
Cao Ang felt uneasy, so he called Xun You and Jia Xu and asked, "Is there any conspiracy in this Liao?"
Xun You and Jia Xu both judged that Youzhou must be harboring evil, but they didn't have much information to analyze it.
Unable to analyze it, Cao Ang could only order to be on guard.
And Zhang Liao was ready.
Zhang Liao and the others hid two hundred miles away, waiting quietly.
"Xu Li, you take people there yourself, and be sure to intercept all information related to Yuan Xi." Zhang chatted and said.
"Yes, General."
Xu Li took the order and left with 3000 people.
This is the key to Zhang Liao's plan.
"The whole army is ready to attack tonight, let the soldiers have a good rest." Zhang Liao ordered.
During the day, an injured scout rushed into the military camp set up by Yuan Xi in front.
"Report, urgent information."
"Quick, take me to see the general."
The soldier was seriously injured, still clutching the information in his arms tightly.
The soldiers guarding the camp did not dare to neglect, and hurriedly carried him in.
Someone hastened to heal him.
"General, this is the information sent by General Liang Yong." After speaking, the soldier passed out.
The general opened the information, the envelope was sealed, but it had been soaked with the blood of the soldiers.
The mud-printed letter on the envelope was complete. When I opened it, the inside was soaked in blood, but the handwriting was still intact, and there were also their distinctive logos.
This complete letter is naturally highly credible, and it was sent by Xuzhou General Liang Yong.
"Cao Ang really came to help Zhang Yu. After Zhang Yu takes Qingzhou, Zhang Yu will help Cao Cao take Xuzhou."
"They will launch a surprise attack tonight, and they want us to cooperate to attack Cao Ang's army in three ways."
The general idea in his mind was that Cao Cao cooperated with Zhang Yu, and Liang Yong seized the opportunity to attack Cao Ang at night.
Because Liang Yong received the news that he would send troops to attack them at night, and they launched a surprise attack in advance, the other party must have been unprepared.
When it was almost midnight, Liang Yong also received a message.
The same ink pads, seals, and special signs of the information are intact, but the envelope is also soaked in blood.
The general idea was similar to the information received by Yuan Xi, except that on this letter, Yuan Xi ordered Liang Yong to send troops to help and attack Cao Ang together.
Although Liang Yong looked at the information a little strangely, he still ordered to start preparations.
These two letters were naturally forged by Zhang Liao. They intercepted a lot of Yuan Jun's information and forged them according to the marks on them and the confessions of the captives.
The forgery looks very similar, but it is not real after all, so the only way to deceive Yuan Jun is to use the method of soaking in blood.
This is Zhang Liao's conspiracy. It's not very clever. It depends on the timing of the design. If the timing is right, the enemy will not suspect it.
