Rebirth of the Three Kingdoms: Guan Ping's new biography

Chapter 37 Taishan Thief

Twenty days later, when Guan Ping saw Cao Cao again, he was no longer as high-spirited as he was back then. Look.

Twenty days ago, although he was ugly, he had a strong and energetic spirit, a domineering aura that looked down on the world and pointed out the country. Although he was restrained, he still leaked it from time to time, making tens of thousands of his soldiers believe:

Pi City, the Prime Minister can wipe it out with just a snap of his fingers.

But now, he is still ugly, but the worry in his eyebrows makes him seem several years older. Cao Cao, who is only forty-three years old, has a few white lines on his unkempt beard, and his hair is as messy as weeds.

With his short body and not fancy clothes, he looks like an old farmer in the mountains.

At this time, he was sitting on the couch, staring at the general below.[

Liu, Guan, and Zhang in the north, Zhang Liao and Guan Ping in the south, brothers Xiahou Dun and Yuan in the west, and Cao Ren, Hong, Lejin, and Li Dian following them.

Cao Cao's eyes swept over and over in front of everyone, but he said nothing. His small eyes were shining with an indescribable light; and from that gaze, Guan Ping knew that Cao Cao was not afraid, but worried.

Only people who are deeply worried about the future will do everything possible to plan for the future. People who are not afraid of death or failure usually die early and are unlikely to achieve great things.

Only those who are deeply worried about the future and persist in going forward with trepidation will become the final winner. From this point of view, Guan Ping is very similar to Cao Cao.

"Zang Ba, Sun Guan and others, the thief chiefs of Mount Tai, have led 40,000 thief troops to rescue Lu Bu. They have arrived in Zheng State and will arrive in the near future. With the emperor's salary, you all can come up with some ideas for me." Cao Cao said slowly.

Open your mouth.

"Lord, I am willing to lead the troops to resist them and destroy them in the East China Sea. I will definitely not let them enter Xiapi County."

The person who spoke was Xia Houyuan, who was about forty years old. He seemed to be steady and steady, and he was particularly relied upon by Cao Cao.

Although this man was brave, he was not good at tact, which also led to the tragedy that he was later beheaded by Huang Zhong.

"Wonderful talent, let me ask you, what kind of situation are you most afraid of when you are besieging a city and having friendly forces come to rescue you?" Cao Cao frowned slightly.

Xia Houyuan thought for a while and replied: "What I'm most afraid of is that we should cooperate with the outside, and our army will be attacked from both sides."

"Then you lead the troops to attack. If Lu Bu takes advantage of the battle between you and Zang Bajun and leads his cavalry to attack your back, how should you respond? I can't stop Lu Bu's cavalry."

"This..." Xia Houyuan was suddenly speechless.

Cao Cao is telling the truth. What Lu Bu means to Cao Cao is that his cavalry is many times more powerful than Cao Cao.

When Cao Cao first led troops to attack Xuzhou, Chen Gong's plan for Lu Bu was that Chen Gong would personally guard the city, while Lu Bu would lead the elite cavalry to station outside the city, and then move across the Huaihe River and Si River to intercept Cao Cao's troops from behind.

Grain Road.

If Cao Cao attacks the city with all his strength, Lu Bu will lead his army to stab him in the back. In less than a month, Cao Cao will run out of food and will retreat. By then, Lu Bu will lead his cavalry and lead his troops to charge on the plains. Who can stop him?

What a brilliant strategy this was, taking full advantage of Lu Bu's cavalry mobility advantage and Cao Cao's weakness of having to travel a long way to break off the food route.

But the facts have once again proved that a person's failure or success is never accidental.
