Chapter 153
"I'll go this way."
Kind of flat eyes fixed on a point on the map.
"What does Yuan Rang think?"
Xiahou Dun looked up at Zhong Ping, then lowered his head again, aiming at Cao Cao from the corner of his eye.
He is convinced of Zhongping's arrangement, but Cao Cao may not let Zhongping follow him.
Xiahoudun didn't understand, he and Zhongping hadn't seen each other for dozens of days, how could it be so easy to meet each other, but there was such a strange atmosphere.
In fact, he also guessed that it might be the massacre of the city, which made Zhongping feel separated.
Chong Ping once also rejected Cao Cao's intention to marry a daughter. Xiahou Dun didn't say anything, but he knew in his heart that this matter made their generals of the Cao family have some opinions on Zhong Ping.
After all, it is impossible to really treat Zhongping as one of our own.
He made an oath with Zhongping to attack Suigu, and he was willing to bet and admit defeat. He really respected the other party's talent and was willing to follow Zhongping's plan.
Xiahoudun just regrets that it is difficult for a character like Chong Ping to be compatible with Cao Cao.
Zhong Ping is not a person who can't understand the atmosphere. Seeing Xiahou Dun's reaction, he also understood the general idea. He looked away with a calm face.
"Ping just thinks that this road into Yanzhou, although a bit rough, can save time."
"Bo Heng thought that Chen Gong and Zhang Miao betrayed me and linked up with Lu Bu. Will the main general who attacks Yanzhou be Lu Bu or Zhang Miao?"
When Cao Cao mentioned "Chen Gong" and "Zhang Miao", his expressions were as usual, as if he was asking about the recent situation of his old friends, rather than discussing the enemies who betrayed him.
"It should be Lu Bu who is the main one, and Chen Gong who plans...as for Zhang Miao."
Zhong Ping confirmed that Hao Meng told him that he had not heard the news that Zhang Miao led the troops into Yanzhou.
"Zhang Miao was supposed to provide Lu Bu with money and food for soldiers, and perhaps some news about Yanzhou."
"really."
Cao Cao nodded.
"Yuan Rang, I'll give you 5000 people to follow the path selected by Boheng, and enter Yanzhou before my army. Are you sure?"
"The last general takes orders!"
Xiahou Dun's first reaction was to clasp his fists in response, and at the same time he blurted out the answer, he couldn't help but look at Zhongping again.
"Why, Boheng is the only counselor in my account, Yuan Rang is still thinking about it?"
Cao Cao had a half-smile, and turned his eyes around Zhong Ping and Xiahou Dun.
"The end will not dare."
Xiahou Dun was shocked, and in the end he only gave Zhong Ping a look of "seeking good fortune", and buried his head down again. After receiving the military order, he went out to count the troops.
There was a brief moment of silence in the tent.
"If Lu Bu hears of Hao Meng's defeat, he will abandon Chenliu and return to Puyang. Yuan Rang's army may be too weak to help. Moreover, Lv Bu's surprise attack on Yanzhou will cause Duke Cao to withdraw Xuzhou's troops. He is worried about Yuan Rang and angry. Come down, light soldiers rush in."
"Lü Bu has Chen Gong on his side. If he conspires, Yuan Rang will suffer a lot."
Zhong Ping's concern for Xiahou Dun is not a lie, he is a nostalgic character, even though he has a rift with Cao Cao now, he will still warn Xiahou Dun when he may be in danger.
Cao Cao's mood improved visibly with the naked eye, and he knew that he still had the possibility of winning over Zhongping.
"Boheng thinks, who should let Yuan Rang go back to Yanzhou together?"
"Lü Bu's eyes are short-sighted, and sincerity is nothing to worry about. Chen Gong is the only one who cares about him. I heard that Chen Gong is also a man of great wisdom. Before he entered Xuzhou, he sent a letter to Lord Xunling, and Yanzhou was restrained by Lord Ling. Even if Chen Gong, It’s hard to deal with haste.”
When Zhong Ping said this, he suddenly understood the purpose of Cao Cao's sole dispatch of Xiahou Dun as the former army.
Since Cao Cao intended to support Xiahoudun, if he wanted to give this vanguard to the other party, if he said more, he would have missed Xiahoudun.
After Zhong Ping received the analysis behind, he saluted.
"Mr. Cao has a lot of talents under his account, and I don't know who to recommend."
Cao Cao smiled and couldn't deny it.
Even if Yanzhou was attacked, Cao Cao still had enough confidence to deal with it after a very short period of nervousness. He did have the confidence.
There are generals, counselors, and emperors.
Now Cao Cao can be said to be complacent.
"Yuan Rang should also have a long memory. After all, not everyone is like Bo Heng. Just swearing to apologize can turn the story over."
Zhong Ping knew that Cao Cao had no intention of arranging another member of Xiahou Dun's army, and his words inevitably brought him back to those days in Dongjun.
Zhong Ping couldn't help showing some smiles recalling the past.
"I guess Tao Qian has no will to fight. Before leaving the army, I heard that Tao Qian was seriously ill in bed. Although I don't know whether it is true or not, but Wen Qian is in Wuyuan, fighting with Cao Bao. Even if Tao Qian pretends to be ill, he is powerless."
"Zi Lian led the troops from Mount Tai into Yanzhou, and cut off Lu Bu's rear. Yanzhou removed Miaocai, and there are not many available generals. If Wen wants to dispatch, it is still difficult."
"Send an army to block Lü Bu from Chenliu, and prevent them from entering Puyang, and send another army to reinforce them. If Lü Bu wants to retreat, you can also cut off his food roads and prevent them from entering Puyang."
Zhong Ping listened to Cao Cao's division plan, and his eyes wandered over the map. It is undeniable that Cao Cao himself is an excellent strategist.
Zhong Ping even felt that it didn't make any difference whether he was in the account or not.
When Cao Cao mentioned Le Jin, Zhong Ping inevitably thought of the potter. He didn't know Cao Cao's intention behind keeping the potter in Xuzhou.
Zhong Ping once approached the potter in private and promised him that if he was unwilling to stay in Xuzhou, he would try his best to ask Cao Cao to send him back to Xudu.
The potter didn't say anything, he just smiled.
"Such a great contribution, there is no reason not to."
Zhong Ping couldn't tell whether the potter's words were true or false.
He didn't think the Tao merchant would really be willing to fight Tao Qian, and he didn't dare to see the situation.
Does he really not know what this arrangement means?
Zhong Ping is just deceiving himself and others, unwilling to tear up the "harmony" in front of him and see the ferocity behind it.
He felt that Cao Cao was really worthy of the word "Xiao".
Cao Cao's few words touched Zhong Ping's mind several times. Even Zhong Ping couldn't deny that during their relationship with Cao Cao, they did have a different understanding of each other than ordinary people.
"Will Yuan Rang send troops immediately?"
As soon as Zhong Ping said something, he felt that he was talking nonsense all the time today.
Soldiers are very fast.
Since Xiahoudun is required to take the lead in the vanguard, how can he waste time for nothing?
"If Boheng wants to remind Yuan Rang..."
Cao Cao looked up from the map and glanced outside the tent.
"It's about time."
Zhong Ping was a little hesitant, wondering if he should just keep Liu Bei and the three of them in the tent like this, but after thinking about it, Cao Cao seemed to have the intention of recruiting the three of them, so there shouldn't be any trouble, so he saluted deeply and withdrew slowly .
After Zhong Fang left the camp, Cao Cao set his sights on Liu Bei and the others sitting below.
He looked at Guan Yu with his eyes closed for a while, and when he remembered the heroic posture of the other party outside the Hulao Pass, his heart itch.
"Yun Chang, are you safe?"
