"When transporting grain, Yuan Shao is not a fool, so he will naturally not make a big mistake. However, Meng Deke knew that Yuan Shao's army transported them to the front line to uniformly store and allocate the military rations?"

After Xu You finished speaking, everyone, including Cao Cao and Guo Jia, showed a look of surprise. The location of the food and grass, especially the location of a large number of troops, is definitely a big secret for an army. If Xu You really could take this secret as his letter of surrender to Cao Cao, it would be really a gift for Cao Cao.

"Ziyuan means...you know very well about this?"

"Before I set out to go to Mengde, I spent several days secretly investigating it. Today, I have figured out this matter."

Gulu!

Behind Cao Cao, the sound of swallowing saliva appeared immediately following Xu You's words. After understanding these three words, it was too important for Cao's army, who urgently needed to win a big victory quickly.

"Where is it? How strong is the troops?"

Cao Cao no longer had a single word of nonsense at this time and asked with a serious expression.

Xu You was not vague. He just stretched out his hand and was a lot of people on the map. Although he didn't say anything, the implication was quite obvious.

"This... Wuchao?"

Cao Cao and others looked at the place where he pointed and found that this place was Wuchao, only forty miles away from the garrison of Yuan Shao's main army.

For a moment, none of the advisers under Cao Cao spoke.

If Xu You really said this would be a huge opportunity, but with Xu You's mouth alone, Cao Cao would be done once this matter was not true.

"Yes, Yuan Shao's baggage will stay here and then be transported and distributed. Because it is not very far from Yuan Shao's army's tent, the transport team often has no reinforcements."

When Xu You said this, he stopped and looked at Cao Cao. His meaning was self-evident. It was obvious that Cao Cao was focusing on Wuchao.

"Wuchao is forty miles away from Yuan Shao's main force. Although there are countless supplies and food, it must be too late to plunder it in time. Moreover, our army can only go out of the light cavalry to secretly go. If it is an infantryman, the soldiers who escorted the food and food in Yuan Shao will be surrounded and wiped out after fighting. So if it is a gentleman's wish, there is only one way to burn food."

It was naturally Guo Jia who spoke again, and at this time, the other advisers under Cao Cao were still worried and at a loss.

Xu You looked at Guo Jia, with an obvious surprise.

He had already thought of this plan before he came, as his conspiracy to join Cao Cao.

Xu You thought very well that if he could help Cao Cao win this battle with one trick, although Yuan Shao brought the essence of taking tricks, the biggest contributor to this battle was Xu You, which could fully establish his position in Cao Cao's army.

But he didn't expect that he had just raised a head and asked Guo Jia to tell him. However, this was not the point. The point was the matter he proposed and the news about Wuchao he brought, which was enough.

"Yes, before this, I had already drawn up a plan for Meng De, which was to burn all Yuan Shao's food and supplies. However, I have calculated from Yuan Shao's military camp to Wuchao. In addition, Wuchao is not without a single soldier. It is almost impossible to do this without a single soldier."

In other words, this strategy is a strategy that coexists with risks and opportunities. If it can burn all the food and supplies of Yuan Shao's army, Yuan Shao will definitely panic. There will be great opportunities at that time. However, if it cannot succeed, not only will the people who burn the food and grass not come back, but they will also alarm the enemy and make Yuan Shao quickly launch a fierce attack on Cao Cao.

Xu You couldn't make this decision, nor did Guo Jia. Only Cao Cao could do it. The road was already in front of him. Whether to do it or not, how to arrange it, requires Cao Cao to plan.

"This plan has a great risk, but if this plan is not implemented, our army has almost no way to survive. Instead of waiting for death, it is better to take a try and summon Cao Hong, Lejin, Zhang Liao and the others!"

Obviously, Cao Cao decided to adopt Xu You's plan, and at this time anyone with a discerning eye could see that Guan Yu, who had killed Yan Liang before and had performed well in the chaos of Wen Chou's death in the chaos, was not called by Cao Cao to talk about this plan. As for why, those who understand it are tacit.

After several generals entered the house, Cao Cao gave the order directly without any ambiguity.

"Cao Hong, you and Xun You led the army to guard the camp and pay close attention to the battle situation in Wuchao. Once something happens, wait for my order! The other generals will take me with 5,000 light cavalry and set off tomorrow night to attack Wuchao, bringing enough fire-driven things. As long as Yuan Shao's food and grass can be burned, they will be withdrawn immediately!"

Cao Cao immediately issued a simple general order. Of course, many details here need to be discussed, but he set the purpose and tone of this battle so early, in fact, to tell these generals and advisers that he had no way out and that this battle must be fought like this.

Next, Cao Cao left Xu You, Guo Jia, Cheng Yu and Xun You, who were familiar with Yuan Shao's army, in the house, and everyone else was preparing to send troops.

Xu You got such a heavy use just now, which was actually Cao Cao's helpless move. After all, the news that food and grass were in Wuchao was brought by Xu You. Since I believe it, I can't be suspicious of him.

If Xu You really wanted to harm Cao Cao, he would have lost when Cao Cao believed that there was food and grass in Wuchao.

Since Cao Cao decided to take a gamble, he didn't think of a way out in his head. He didn't summon Guan Yu as soon as possible, because he understood that Guan Yu had Liu Bei in his heart, but Liu Bei was still in Yuan Shao's army. Cao Cao would never allow such a hidden danger to be realized.

"Ziyuan, there are no outsiders here. I personally led 5,000 troops to approach Wuchao with Yuan Shao's military uniform and command. Then, I suddenly attacked the Wuchao defenders and burned the food and grass. In your opinion, how likely can I win!"

There are a few details that were not mentioned when the order was issued before, but now Cao Cao will not hide it in front of Xu You and others.

"At most 60% of the time I said this plan, Meng De should have known that this was a dangerous plan. The person who transported the grain was Chunyu Qiong, the general under Yuan Shao, and there were at least 10,000 soldiers and horses under him. Although they were all infantrymen, it was not easy to win with one blow. Ju Su had proposed to send reinforcements to guard the periphery to prevent Cao's army from raiding, but Yuan Shao was arrogant and refused to obey, so he had these opportunities."
