Inside the territory of Chen State.

More than ten days have passed since Qiao Rui's troops were first defeated by Cao's army and retreated to Chen County to defend.

During this period, after the Cao army successively occupied and eroded the remaining cities of the Chen State, it had formed a siege against the county town of Chen County.

With Cao Ren assembled more than 30,000 main force of infantry and cavalry, he led the crowd!

At this moment, Cao's army, who was in Liang and Chen, suddenly increased its combat power and the situation changed significantly.

At this time, Cao Cao sent troops to encircle Chen County without attacking him, and then arranged heavy troops to station at the intersections of various aspects of the Chen State from Huainan.

Cao's army also made sufficient preparations for this battle.

Just after the main force of Yuan’s army received the news of the unfavorable war in Chen Guo, they brought everyone to help.

But it seems that Yuan's army's movements are not consistent with the arrangements of Cao's army.

Even though the situation within the Chen State was already in danger for Yuan Jun, the Qiaorui tribe, who was guarding the county city, was in danger!

However, there was no reinforcement from the Yuan army.

After secretly crept south into the Jianghuai area to inquire about military information and report back, Cao Cao woke up as if he was dreaming. It turned out that although the Yuan army units had gathered frequently in the past ten days, they had no intention of sending troops.

At this moment, Cao Cao was a little unable to calm down.

He thought carefully and adopted a siege against Chen County without attacking, supplementing the arrangement of heavy troops in the surrounding areas to wait for the rabbit, hoping to lure the main force of the enemy to help.

To drag the enemy into your own battle.

But at this time, Yuan was not fooled.

At this moment, Cao Cao suddenly felt a little tricky.

In response to this, he couldn't help but summoned the chief Xi Zhicai, and then asked for advice with a sigh:

"Zhicai, now the Yuan family ignored Qiao Rui's troops who were guarding Chen County and sent troops to rescue them."

"You tell me, have our army arrived at the city and forced them to open the city and surrender with their might and temptation?"

As soon as this statement was spoken, Cao Cao showed a solemn expression.

Obviously, he was extremely reluctant to use strong attacks to attack the city.

Hearing this, Xi Zhicai's deep eyes seemed extremely lively. After thinking for a moment, he shook his head and replied: "Lord, Zhong sees this matter too much."

"Now, even though the Yuan family knew that Chen County was in danger, there would be situations that would be broken by our army at any time, but they still calmly assembled the soldiers and did not act according to our army's plan."

"I think, maybe they are extremely sure that Qiao Rui is not a half-hearted person."

"This person should not join our army so easily!"

After a while, Xi Zhicai also spoke calmly and slowly gave his own insights.

After hearing these words, Cao Cao looked a little disappointed and looked slightly disappointed, but that was just a moment of effort!

In a blink of an eye, his expression returned to a steady state.

"Zhicai, in your opinion, Yuan does not act like this as planned by us now. What should our army do next?"

"Don't worry, lord!"

After this, Xi Zhicai comforted his heart and said, "Although the main force of Yuan's army has not yet advanced north to rescue as promised and falls into the plot of our army, our army has not gained nothing."

"At least, our army has already won the rich and extremely important strategic location in the territory of the Liang State and Chen State in Yuzhou. Even if our army cannot defeat the main force of the Yuan family in the future."

"We can still take the initiative in the battle situation and rely on Liang and Chen to devote ourselves to the management. After several years, our army's military power can sweep the counties and counties around Yuzhou or go straight south to wipe out the Yuan family of the Jianghuai."

"Retreat can also become a solid line of defense to protect Yanzhou."

After these words, Xi Zhicai solemnly suggested:

"Therefore, Zhong suggested that the lord could still make a decision to keep his troops in the territory of Chen, so as to observe the movements of the Yuan family and adopt a strategy of unchanging and adapting to changes."

A very concise speech made Cao Cao feel extremely happy at this moment.

I was a little irritated because the battle was not going well.

But after hearing Xi Zhicai's analysis, he happily accepted this policy.

...

And just when Cao's army was actively preparing for war in Chen State.

In Shouchun City.

The expedition to the East General's Mansion.

At this time, Yuan Yao was wearing a long robe and sat upright on the main seat. All the civil and military staff under his command were gathered together, closely discussing the issue of sending troops from the army.

After Yuan Shu was defeated by the war in Chen State and the situation was unfavorable, he now delegated the authority of the army to Yuan Yao, and he was fully responsible for the next battle against Cao's army.

At this time, several people in the mansion also held their own opinions and discussed their own military plans and strategies.

only.

After discussing for a long time, Yuan Yao did not get a satisfactory military plan from it.

Immediately, he thought for a long time and waved his hand to signal everyone to temporarily extinguish the argument. After the mansion gradually became silent, he said slowly:

"Everyone, most of the cities and towns in Chen are now under the control of Cao's army and have already gained the lead. If our army continues to advance northward, it will inevitably fall into a disadvantage in the situation first and will be completely led away..."

"Then I wonder if the young master has any tricks?"

Hearing this, Ling Cao, a middle-aged and burly general on the side, couldn't help but bow and ask.

His words are also extremely respectful.

For him, since he joined Yuan Yao with his hometown hero, he has experienced several battles and is extremely impressed by Yuan Yao's strategy and his calm expression in danger!

He said so at this moment.

After this statement, everyone also unanimously focused their eyes on Yuan Yao, hoping whether his young master had any good plans to turn the tide?

Seeing that all the staff were looking forward to each other, Yuan Yao's face showed a smile, and he couldn't help but say slowly: "Yao has a good plan to solve this unfavorable situation, but..."

"Some doubts about the risk of military action."

As soon as this statement comes out.

Everyone was overjoyed and ignored the last soft voice.

Fortunately, Qin Song, the adviser on the side, was extremely focused, so he couldn't help but ask: "Warning a dangerous move?"

"Young Master, why is this strategy?"

With Qin Song's words, everyone reacted a little.

"A surprise attack on Xiangyi."

Under the expectation of the crowd, Yuan Yao did not hesitate too much, and then revealed the number extremely solemnly.

As soon as this statement came to an end.

After a few thoughts from the generals, they couldn't help but look shocked in their eyes.
Chapter completed!
