Chapter 488 The 18 Riders Of Yanyun’S Headache!
Luoyang City.
Cao’s house.
For half a month, except for Changsha and Jiangling, all the other five counties in Jingzhou surrendered to Cao Cao’s deterrence.
Therefore, Cao Cao was in a very good mood these days.
In the hall, Guo Jia said with a smile on his face: “Congratulations to Duke Ming, Jingzhou is basically in our hands, only Liu Biao from Jiangling and Sun Jian from Changsha.”
“As long as we win them, our first plan will be successful.”
Xi Zhicai also nodded silently on the side: “Feng Xiao is right, although there may be some gaps in the process, allowing Liu Biao to escape, but after all, it is a complete success. 99
When Cao Cao heard what the two advisors said, a smile appeared on his face: “Even so, Jiangling and Changsha are really a bit of a headache.
“It has to be taken before Liu Bian can hit us.”
Xi Zhicai spoke again: “Ming Gong is right, I heard that a few days ago there were horse thieves in Huainan, and they attacked very ruthlessly. Yuan Benchu was very angry, but he never found out the origins of these people. Could it be 270 Reinforcements sent by Liu Bian? 35
Xi Zhicai suddenly brought up this topic, which no one thought of.
However, a name appeared in their minds at the same time: “Eighteen Riders of Yanyun!
The four of them looked at each other, and Cao Cao added a bit of solemnity on his face: “It’s very possible.
“Ever since Yuan Shao’s defeat at the beginning of the year, he has been recruiting troops and horses in Huainan. Using the Yuan family’s banner, he has won the support of many nobles in Yangzhou.”
“He has a lot of talents, and he can be regarded as a strong soldier, but he has no way to take a group of horse thieves. Isn’t this ridiculous?”
Guo Jia’s eyes are full of certainty: “Ming Gong is right, and his subordinates also think this possibility is very high.”
“Think about Liu Biao’s reputation in Jingzhou, although he was not as good as Cai Mao and Kuaiyue, and now he has occupied Jiangling, which is equivalent to sticking a fishbone in our throats. 35
“Sincerely want to defeat us from the inside, to cooperate with Liu Bian’s actions next year.”
“And relying on Liu Biao alone to take tens of thousands of horses, Liu Bian is also worried that (cdbi) will not be enough, and a large number of troops will not be able to get through at all, so he will send the sharp blade in his hand – the eighteen cavalry of Yanyun!”
“Maybe even Quyi’s first troops might have arrived.”
Guo Jia is equal to saying that this matter is directly characterized, and even his face is full of sorrow.
Cao Cao’s face that was still full of smiles instantly drooped down.
A pair of brows are even more wrinkled into a line.
“That’s a bit of a hassle!”
“Eighteen cavalry of Yanyun are famous all over the world, although there are only eighteen people, but their power is very great, they can compete with thousands of cavalry in front of them, if they really move to fight, who can control them?
Asked this question, whether it was Guo Jia or Xi Zhicai, they both thought deeply.
But after thinking about it, both of them not only shook their heads.
The strength of Yanyun’s Eighteen Riders is really too strong, they can fight and walk.
“Two gentlemen, is there no way to deal with the Eighteen Horsemen of Yanyun?
Xi Zhicai said softly: “At present, it is not very easy to deal with. These eighteen people have small goals and come and go like the wind. It can be said that they can advance and retreat. If they want to annihilate them, they must find a specific position. The traps limit their mounts before they may have a chance.
“Otherwise, there is absolutely no way to take it normally. 35
Cao Cao was silent, although he didn’t want to admit it, but the facts were defeated in front of him, he shook his head with a wry smile.
Even more than once jealous of Liu Bian, jealous of where he poached such a talent.
Speaking of himself, he also thinks that he is a good enough corporal, and he has a lot of talents, but when compared with Liu Bian, it is nothing.
Guo Jia felt Cao Cao’s inner frustration.
He opened his mouth and said, “Even though Yanyun’s Eighteen Riders are powerful, it is not impossible to defeat them, as long as we design them carefully, we can still have a chance to eliminate them.
“That’s why Liu Bian brought out all his elites. If we don’t show him a little color, I’m afraid we will look down on us even more.”
“Don’t worry, Duke Ming, I will definitely come up with a way to destroy the Eighteen Horsemen of Yanyun!”
Guo Jia said angrily.
Cao Cao nodded slowly: “At this time, I have to go out in person, sit on the front line, and take Liu Biao in one go.”5
“But there is still an important question. How should Liu Bei handle it? Should he let him go?”
Although Cao Cao and Guo Jia had discussed the results last time, he was still a little unconfident when things came to an end.
Guo Jia nodded and said, “Ming Gong doesn’t have to hesitate when it comes to things. 35
“Liu Bei is a hero, and his tactics are not weak, but compared with Liu Bian, it is very different. Even if we want to become enemies, we have to wait until Liu Bian is destroyed.
“Although he may want to stay in a corner and win Yizhou, he will also trap himself in Yizhou.
“If we defeat Liu Bian at that time, you will be able to get almost half of the world. Even if he succeeds, what is there to be afraid of?”
Xi Zhicai also agreed: “Feng Xiao is right, Liu Bei’s threat is in the future, and Liu Bian’s threat is now.
“We don’t have a chance to play without beating Liu Bian, let alone in the future.
“Leaving Liu Bei free will at least disperse Liu Bian’s energy for us and assist us in attacking. The advantages outweigh the disadvantages!”
Both of them took a resolute view on the issue.
The words are full of confidence.
Cao Cao gritted his teeth: “Since the two gentlemen said so, let’s let Liu Bei go!
“Since I want to send him away, I will simply sell him a favor!”
“Come here, prepare 10,000 shi of grain and give it to the camp outside Liu Bei’s city.”
“Have a banquet, invite the three brothers to come, and say it will be practiced for them!!
After ordering a few words one after another, Cao Cao let the personal soldier go down to report the letter.
Guo Jia and Xi Zhicai nodded with satisfaction, fully agreeing with Cao Cao’s behavior.
“Ming Gong has such a mind, why worry about not accomplishing great things?”
“Liu Bei took advantage of it this time, I hope he won’t let us down and can really share some of the pressure from Liu Bian for us. Xi Zhicai sighed helplessly and said.
For things that he cannot be sure and grasp, Xi Zhicai can only leave it to God, hoping to get his wish.
