    Liu Ke used a combination of punches to knock Cao Cao into confusion.

    Because his territory only borders Yanzhou and Liu Ke, Cao Cao only needs to defend Yanzhou.

    To this end, Cao Cao mobilized an army of 500,000 men.

    There are only a few troops garrisoned in Chang'an.

    At the beginning, the scouts reported that the Marquis of Dongyang had stationed 600,000 troops in Xuzhou.

    Regarding this news, Cao Cao was still very calm.

    After all, Liu Ke¡¯s goal was Yanzhou from the beginning.

    However, Yuan Shao suddenly discovered something fishy.

    Qingzhou is preparing ships to cross the river, and large ships from Yangzhou frequently appear on the coastline.

    Knowing that the war was about to start, Yuan Shao had already ordered people to keep an eye on the Yellow River, and even arranged scouts along the coastline.

    Yuan Shao kept a close eye on his nest, so he discovered something unusual.

    Therefore, Yuan Shao exchanged information with Cao Cao.

    The original plan was for Yuan Shao to lead his army into Yanzhou to help defend it.

    Now that there are frequent changes, Yuan Shao chose to wait and see.

    For this, Cao Cao expressed his understanding.  When the movements of Marquis Dongyang are unknown, it is better not to act rashly.

    Cao Cao couldn't help but think of the intelligence he had received before. Dongyang Hou's target was Jizhou, not Yanzhou.

    Yanzhou is just a cover!

    Cao Cao sneered at this.

    ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? If Marquis Dongyang doesn¡¯t fight, why not go to Jizhou?

    Aren¡¯t you afraid that Cao Cao¡¯s army will break into Qingzhou and cut off your retreat?

    However, now there is actually a connection between the information.

    Cao Cao had to overturn his previous inherent thinking.

    The battlefield is never static.

    "The Marquis of Dongyang is claiming that the east is attacking the west. He just doesn't know which one is east and which one is west." Xi Zhicai said.

    At first, everyone thought that Dongyang Hou¡¯s territory was so long that it was difficult to defend.

    Jiaozhou, Yangzhou, Xuzhou, and Qingzhou are all coastal areas. Most of the coastline belongs to Liu Ke, and the rest belongs to Yuan Shao.

    With such a long line, it is difficult for the defenders to mobilize.

    Therefore, for Dongyang Hou to take the initiative to attack Yanzhou, the idea of ??taking the initiative is deeply ingrained.

    Liu Ke also planned this.

    If Liu Ke attacks Jizhou, then this line will be even longer.

    Not only the defensive line, but also the supply line.

    Take the whole body.

    All hell breaks loose.

    Cao Cao¡¯s only advantage is that Yanzhou and Jizhou are neighbors and can respond quickly.

    "In my opinion, it is better to let Yuan Benzhu attack Qingzhou and force the Marquis of Dongyang to respond, while our army waits for the opportunity." Sima Lang said.

    "Yuan Benchu ??is not a fool, will he be obedient?" Yang Xiu asked, "What's more, once Yuan Benchu ??acts alone, he may become the target of Dongyang Hou's hunting. He can only stay motionless in Jizhou, so that it is safe."

    Yang Xiu¡¯s tone was very rude, but very reasonable.

    Yuan Shao's troops are more than adequate for defense, but attacking is no different from seeking death.

    Unless the two parties work together.

    But once they jointly attack Qingzhou, will Yanzhou still be there?

    It is impossible for Cao Cao to take risks, and Yuan Shao cannot stand alone.

    It¡¯s really embarrassing!

    It¡¯s already so difficult before the war even starts.

    "The cleverness of Dongyang Hou's plan is here." Xi Zhicai said.

    I won¡¯t hit you. I¡¯ll wait for you to get into trouble first, and then I¡¯ll attack you suddenly.

    "We might as well stay still and wait for Marquis Dongyang to show his fox tail." Sima Lang continued.

    "In this case, Yuan Shao will guard Yuan Shao, and Cao Cao will guard Cao Cao. We will wait until Dongyang Hou takes action.

    "Our army is standing still? Marquis Dongyang would laugh in his dreams." Yang Xiudao.

    "" Sima Lang was speechless. Have I offended you?

    ???????????????????

    "What's the noble idea of ??Dezu?" Cao Cao asked.

    Look, even the Lord can¡¯t stand it anymore!

    Sima Lang immediately regarded Cao Cao as a close friend.

    "How to mobilize our army, we must at least find out where Dongyang Hou is?" Yang Xiudao.

    "What Dezu means is" Cao Cao looked thoughtful.

    "Does Xuzhou have an army of 600,000?If Dongyang Hou's main force was in Xuzhou, how could he attack Jizhou?  "Yang Xiudao.

    Hit the nail on the head!

    "The scouts just reported that the number of Xuzhou's army has remained at around 600,000." Sima Lang said, as if he had caught Yang Xiu's pigtails.

    "False and false, true and false, are the most basic art of war." Yang Xiu said disdainfully, as if to say, have you never read the art of war?

    "Dezu's words make sense. Send more scouts to investigate the situation in Xuzhou." Cao Cao said.

    Yang Xiu was very proud.

    On the other hand, Sima Lang¡¯s face was so gloomy.

    Sima Yi didn¡¯t say anything, as if he didn¡¯t exist.  He didn't take his brother's embarrassment to heart.

    So, Cao Cao sent out 10,000 scouts at once.

    In the past, ten thousand cavalry could serve as an army.

    But in a battle involving millions of people, they are just scouts.

    Facing the surprise attack by Cao Cao's army scouts, Zhao Yun calmly killed nearly three thousand soldiers.

    Before the war even started, Cao Cao lost three thousand cavalry, which was very heartbreaking.

    He doesn¡¯t have many cavalry.

    The most annoying thing is that no important information was obtained.

    "It's a waste of time." Sima Lang mocked.

    After all, Yang Xiu came up with this idea, and he should always bear the responsibility.

    However, Yang Xiu was not discouraged. He questioned the scouts one by one, summarized the information, and said:

    "Prime Minister, there is something fishy in Xuzhou!"

    "What could be strange?" Sima Lang asked.

    Such a junior is too arrogant.

    However, Yang Xiu is not vain at all, after all, he is Yang Biao's son.

    Yang Biao is famous all over the world. Even Cao Cao wants to give him face.

    "Come quickly," Cao Cao said.

    "The scouts in Xuzhou are not professional! Otherwise, we would not have so many people coming back." Yang Xiudao.

    Cao Cao did not refute this statement, and neither did his men.

    Very self-aware.

    "Second, there are too many flags in Xuzhou." Yang Xiudao.

    Cao Cao¡¯s eyes lit up, this was indeed a breakthrough in inference.

    "Third, Dongyang Hou only showed up once in Xuzhou. The rest of the time, Zhao Yun was in charge." Yang Xiudao.

    "What's so strange about this? If Marquis Dongyang wants to play tricks on reality, he will definitely not come forward." Sima Lang said.

    Yang Xiu ignored it and continued: "As we all know, Zhao Zilong is the right-hand man of Dongyang Marquis. He has led the army in many battles."

    Sima Lang stopped talking.

    Cao Cao also fell into deep thought.

    Yang Xiu is also very smart. He just stated the doubts and did not make a judgment.

    The only one who can make a judgment is Cao Cao!

    So, everyone turned their attention to Cao Cao.

    Even though Cao Cao was in power, he still felt pressure under such eyes.

    You can¡¯t be careful!

    "Zhicai, what do you think?" Cao Cao said.

    There is something strange happening in Jizhou, and Xuzhou is also very strange.

    In this case, there is no way to judge!

    "Lord, we can make assumptions and then analyze." Xi Zhicai said.

    "How to assume?" Cao Cao said.

    "If the Marquis of Dongyang wanted to attack Jizhou, how did he mobilize his troops without knowing it?" Xi Zhicai said.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
