Chapter 294: Making Cao Cao Cry

Cao Cao and Yuan Shao discussed the camping plan, so they went to find Gongsun Zan. He told Gongsun Zan this plan, asking Gongsun Zan to try his best to press the army to Hulao Pass, and press as close as possible. If the pressure is not close enough, it will give the Fujiao cavalry a battlefield for the cavalry to move. At that time, the cavalry against the cavalry, Gongsun Zan and Baima Yicong had to consider not how to win the battle, but how could they have the life to return to Liaodong alive!

After hearing Cao Cao's words, of course, Cao Cao was very polite, and raised the importance of Gongsun Zan to an irreplaceable level, giving him enough face, but Gongsun Zan was still so annoyed that he was filled with smoke!

Gongsun Zan didn't know that this plan was made by Cao Cao. Cao Cao wanted to set up a second camp, but on the surface he was sharing hardships with him. He couldn't find out even if he wanted to find Cao Cao's faults, but he hated Yuan Shao to the core. Yuan Shao was too vicious. Isn't this putting him on the stove and roasting him to death!

Gongsun Zan said angrily: "General Cao, I don't know why I offended the Alliance Leader Yuan, why did he actually put me in the forefront? Although I had some disagreements with him when I was in Yuancheng, I wouldn't be punished to death. I'll ask him now!"

As he said that, he was going to find Yuan Shao and say something. If he couldn't say it well, then no wonder he didn't give him face. He simply pulled the team and returned to Liaodong. Whoever wants to fight with Li Qin will fight, anyway, he won't be able to get this muddy water!

Cao Cao grabbed Gongsun Zan and said, "General Gongsun calmed down. If you want to tell me the whole story, it was Cao who implicated you. I will apologize to you here!" He bowed to Gongsun Zan deeply, with a very painful expression on his face, as if he had suffered some great grievances.

Gongsun Zan stopped and said strangely: "What is General Cao saying? Why did you implicate me?"

Cao Cao straightened his waist, sighed heavily, and said, "If we want to deal with Li Qin's cavalry, our coalition has no good way. We can only try to push the barracks down to the gate and not give Li Qin's cavalry a battlefield. But our coalition forces have to talk about the strength of the alliance leader Yuan, followed by Cao, and naturally, the alliance leader Yuan cannot do it. He has to command the entire army!"

Gongsun Zan said, "I guess then we can only go forward to suppress the military camp!"

Cao Cao nodded and said, "That's all. But my army is mainly infantry and I lack strong generals, so I refuse to join the Alliance Leader Yuan. This is not timid, but because of... this, there are many reasons, and I can't make it clear for a while. I have too many soldiers from my elders, so I have to take care of them, so I have more worries!"

After a pause, he said again: "When Master Yuan saw me refuse, he told me not to be afraid. He arranged you in the first battalion and said that he could protect me from worry, so... Alas, I can say that now, I can say that Yuan is talking about it, but I hope General Gongsun will take care of him more and take care of him more when he is about to fight!"

If you say things straightforwardly, it will sometimes be annoying, but if you turn a corner, the effect will be much better. Cao Cao did not say how bad Yuan Shao was, but every sentence was arranged by Yuan Shao, and he kept saying that he needed Gongsun Zan's care. It sounded very reliant on Gongsun Zan. For the general, this was very comfortable. At least Gongsun Zan is in a much better mood now.

After hearing Cao Cao's words, Gongsun Zan gave up his thoughts of going to Yuan Shao to argue. He had no contact with Cao Cao, but on the contrary, he had a little disgusted feeling against Cao Cao, thinking that Cao Cao was a child of an official and could only reach his current status by his background. But now, when he heard Cao Cao's "heart-to-heart" words, the little disgusting feeling in his heart disappeared. On the contrary, he also felt a sense of sharing the same hatred with Cao Cao.

Seeing that Gongsun Zan's attitude softened, Cao Cao said, "It's over. If you go to argue with Yuan Shao now, you will not only not let Yuan Shao take back his life, but also have a big fight. We come to help the prince for the sake of the Han Dynasty, not for the sake of your own selfishness. So even though we know that he has not done well in some places, we still need to endure this tone for the sake of the overall situation!"

Gongsun Zan also sighed and said, "Yes, for the sake of the overall situation, everything is for the prince! But if we push forward, Li Qin will not watch it. He will definitely send troops to fight. So how should we deal with it?"

Cao Cao smiled slightly and said, "I thought of a countermeasure on the way to find you just now. You and I can not only press the barracks forward and press them all the way down, but also camp safely without any concerns about safety!"

Gongsun Zan said with a slight voice: "Where do you say this? General Cao, what are your tricks? Can you say it?"

Cao Cao said: "Li Qin is good at fame, and his reputation has always been very good. There are only you and me in the tent, so there is no need to be any taboos. To be honest, except for us who support the crown prince, almost every citizen under Li Qin's rule says he is good. This is because he has no time to harm the people, and secondly, it is because he sent people around to promote his good reputation. This is his strength, but I can turn this strength into his weakness!"

Gongsun Zan frowned. He knew that Li Qin had a good reputation. It would be too difficult to turn this strength into a weakness! Thinking in his heart, he said, "Damn Li Qin's good reputation? This is too difficult!"

Cao Cao laughed and said, "It is too difficult to destroy his good reputation, but it is too simple to maintain his good reputation! General Gongsun, please think, if Cao wrote a letter now, the letter would be public, and asked Li Qin in front of Fujiaojun, and if he dared to have a dignified offensive and defensive battle with me, Cao Cao, and do not use tricks to each other, but rely on the bravery of the soldiers. Tell me, how would he answer?"

Gongsun Zan said without thinking, "Of course he would agree. Li Lang is the most righteous, and everyone in the world knows that righteous people naturally have to be upright. If he doesn't agree, wouldn't it ruin a good reputation and a reputation for the Fujiao Army's daring to fight... Ah, I understand!"

Gongsun Zan showed a smile on his face. Looking at Cao Cao, the two nodded.

The next day, Yuan Shao recruited many princes, told the story of the camps, and arranged the order of the camps of various princes. None of the princes wanted to set up the camps forward, but Gongsun Zan was the first route, and Cao Cao was the second route, so they all had nothing to say. Someone took the lead, and Cao Cao and Gongsun Zan, two of the strongest princes in the three ways, so what else would they have to argue with? Follow Daliu and follow each other. Everyone has their own selfish thoughts, let alone the second brother!

After explaining the combat plan of the fight against Li Qin, he immediately started to take action. Cao Cao and Gongsun Zan brought troops forward and pressed towards Hulao Pass. Just as they led their troops forward, Li Qin received a letter from Cao Cao.

Cao Cao first sent people to Hulao Pass. The two armies fought and did not kill the envoys. The messenger sent by Cao Cao was very low-key. He could not say that he looked like a dog in front of Li Qin, but it was almost the same. This was Cao Cao's special order, mainly to prevent the messenger from being hurt. He was afraid that Li Qin could not kill the envoys, but he could not stand the parts on his body, especially the messenger's tongue, which had to be kept!

After reading the letter, Li Qin felt a little excited. This was a way to provoke him. Unexpectedly, Cao Cao used this trick to block himself with the so-called dignity and prevent him from sending troops to attack. He thought it was so beautiful!

Li Qin read the letter to Jia Xu. After reading the letter, Jia Xu smiled and said nothing. He waved to the messenger and signaled to let the messenger get out. The messenger breathed a sigh of relief, and did not dare to delay for a moment, so he ran out of the pass.

Li Qin said to Jia Xu: "Depending on your appearance, you have thought of a way to deal with it? So fast!"

Jia Xu laughed dryly and said, "This Cao Cao is just smart, it's easy to deal with him. When he comes, he will definitely not cry even if he doesn't cry!"

Li Qin smiled. In history, Jia Xu repaired Cao Cao so much that he almost couldn't find him. After a big battle, not only did his son and nephew be killed by Jia Xu, but even Dian Wei, the general, was broken. He really couldn't even cry!

Li Qin was very confident that Jia Xu had dealt with Cao Cao. He smiled and said, "What method should I use? Let's listen!"

Jia Xu stood up and said, "Let's go to the gate and say, I guess the messenger should have passed the gate. He must shout out the contents of the letter under the gate, and then said you agreed. Should you make a bet, let's bet a copper coin!"

Li Qin also stood up and smiled and said, "Okay, I've bet with you. But how could Cao Cao's trick be worth only one copper coin? Double it, I'll bet with you two!" As he said that, he waved to the generals.

The generals laughed and followed them to the gate.

As Jia Xu expected, the messenger was in the hall with a very low posture, but as soon as he left the gate and reached an arrow, his posture was immediately so high that he could no longer be higher. He turned his horse's head and shouted at the lock, which was the content of the letter. He repeatedly emphasized that Li Qin agreed and was willing to come to the offensive and defensive battle with dignity. He did not escape until the Fujiao soldiers came out of the city to chase him. He fled very quickly. The best scout of the Fujiao soldiers did not catch up with him!

Li Qin stood by the trunk, laughing loudly, asking someone to take two copper coins, which was considered to be a loss to Jia Xu. He said, "No wonder the messenger was so naughty when he was in the hall. It turned out that he was pretending to be pitiful, so that I would cut off his tongue. If he lost his tongue, he would have been in vain!"

Jia Xu said: "If Cao Cao is captured, he cannot be allowed to go back alive. Killing him can shock those rebel ministers. Didn't he say he wanted to fight an offensive and defensive battle in a dignified manner? It's great, let's fight him! He thought that offensive and defensive battles must be defending inside the pass and outside the pass. Unfortunately, he was wrong!"

Dian Wei said: "I just thought Cao Cao's plan was very good, and we could only be led by the nose. Now, after hearing what Lao Jia said, there are loopholes in Cao Cao's plan. He didn't say who attacked and defended. This loophole has been discovered by Lao Jia. How could you not do anything to drill? You like to drill holes the most!"

Jia Xu said angrily: "You only love to drill holes if you can speak human words!"

Dian Wei said seriously: "Okay, then I will say what you like to hear, you are not a common man..."
