"Salvation of paper talismans, put it!"

Boom! A loud bang, accompanied by dazzling light, completely submerged the soldiers gathered under the high city wall. With this loud bang, the sound of "Dangdang" sounded from afar outside the city. The Cao army soldiers retreated back like a tide. The huge rock crossbow flying in the sky slowly calmed down.

"Damn! I'm so exhausted." A player stretched out his waist vigorously and waved his arms hard.

"Are you tired? Seeing the merit value rising, why don't I feel tired? I suddenly felt that Cao Cao was very cute. The merit value he sent was really a lot!"

"Haha, your attack power is still 'huh'. I think you're just using crossbow arrows to paddle water!"

"Idiot, I'm in the crossbow soldiers formation, sharing my merits!"

"That's not much. Cao's army's defense attributes are quite perverted. They can't shoot much at once. There are still many paper talismans that can be shot at once."

"Tsk, it seems that the Cao army has suffered a lot of losses. Even if it is three or two thousand a day, ten or eight days, one or two percent of the troops will be gone! Is Cao Cao sick? He has to climb up such a high city wall."

"Uh, no one knows this question. You can ask Cao Cao, or he was kicked by a donkey in the head!"

"I think he was in a turbulent head, and then..."

"It's nonsense. Even if Cao Cao's mind is in the water, the group of strategists around him are in the mind. Don't talk nonsense if you don't know. Although the beasts on the forum are not reliable, there are all kinds of speculations. You don't have your head to see it!"

"Well, that's right, I always think my husband is right. My mother is right. Therefore, I never read these saliva stickers!"

"That's because you don't have the ability to distinguish, so don't make excuses for your low IQ!"

"I'll go, get out of here. I'm not feeling purified and my mind is not upset. I'm lazy to pay attention to you."

"Don't argue. Then tell me why Cao Cao is? Could it be that he sent us merits with great compassion?"

"I think Cao Cao must have had a conspiracy, otherwise he would not be stupid. Even if he thought it wrong at the beginning, would he still have to continue making mistakes now?"

"Then, what is Cao Cao's conspiracy?"

"If I knew I was still here? Cut!"

"Reverse! That means I don't say anything. I hate this guy who can only talk badly, so I don't read the saliva stickers. After all, I just said the positive and negative things. There was no such thing as a result! Grass!"

Not to mention that the players in the city were confused by Cao Cao's conspiracy, Zhang He, the defender in the city, was also unclear, and because he didn't understand, he even more suspicious. In his battle report to Yuan Shao, he also described the little things of the battle in detail, hoping that Yuan Shao could understand as clearly as possible what was happening in Dingtao. At the end of the letter, Zhang He also attached his own doubts and guesses. Of course, he could only doubt and guesses.

....................................................

In front of Yuan Shao was a stack of Zhang He’s battle reports. Every day, Zhang He never tires about the long battle reports to describe everything on the battlefield in Dingtao in detail. This carefulness made Yuan Shao very satisfied.

Yuan Shao was also full of doubts about Zhang He. Judging from Cao Cao's strategic arrangement, there was nothing particularly criticized. Ding Tao was chosen because Ding Tao was important, and on the other hand, he might also have the idea of ​​attacking aid, but how could Yuan Shao be fooled easily? Therefore, Yuan Shao has always maintained a very calm mind and was not in a hurry to reinforce Ding Tao. He just sent cavalry to cruise around Ding Tao to restrain him, and wanted to see Cao Cao's plan clearly before talking about it.

Now Cao Cao is really attacking Dingtao City. According to Zhang He's calculations, the exchange ratio between the two sides is about 1 to 1:50. Zhang He has the advantage of the city, but the advantage of the city defender is actually caused by the consumption of a large amount of material. If this continues, the materials in the city will be short of, and the exchange ratio may not be maintained at that time.

On the one hand, Yuan Shao naturally hoped that Cao Cao would continue to attack Dingtao and stay in Dingtao City for a long time, so as to gain time for Yuan Shao to accelerate the construction of Yanzhou. On the other hand, Yuan Shao was very worried, worried that Cao Cao would not be so stubborn. Perhaps, Cao Cao had any unexpected way to conquer Dingtao? If Dingtao really fell, then Yuan Shao's fun would be great.

Therefore, on the one hand, Yuan Shao wanted to continue to calmly stare at Cao Cao on the periphery, and on the other hand, he wanted to find and create fighter jets to break the siege of Dingtao. At the same time, he couldn't help but have fantasies in his heart, hoping to find an opportunity to strike a fatal blow to Cao Cao, and maybe he could turn the defense into an offensive.

This is the contradiction for generals. On the battlefield, all kinds of choices actually seem to have pros and cons. Everyone can make it afterwards, but not many people were able to make the right choice under the chaos at that time.

While pondering, Zheng Ji and Guo Tu walked in.

"Lord, my subordinates are ordered to send supplies and have arrived safely. I will pay the order!" Guo Tu bowed and reported.

Yuan Shao raised his head, smiled and waved his hand and said, "It's great, it's still smooth along the way? How is the situation along the way?"

"Lord, the road was very smooth. Except for occasionally encountering some thieves, there were no accidents. The villages and towns along the way were all plowing in spring, and the situation was still stable. But everyone was uneasy, afraid that Cao's army would fight and ruin everyone's efforts."

"Hmph! With this official here, Cao Cao would not want to cross Dingtao half a step."

Guo Tu smiled and said, "I also told everyone this. It's just that the people are ignorant. Dingtao is not far away, so I can't help feeling uneasy."

"Well, you can sit and rest first, Yuantu, do you have something to report?"

Zheng Ji nodded and said, "That's right, my subordinates have received a latest information and come to report it to the lord."

"Oh? Let's talk."

"No. Lord, today, information was heard from Yongyang, Jishi, and Chengwu front line. The activities of the enemy's Yiren troops seemed to be increasing, but strangely, there was no large amount of supplies going north, only the same supply troops as usual."

"What does it mean to increase? Quantity or range of activity?"

"It's the number! It's this that makes people feel strange. In theory, the war in Dingtao City is in a tight spot. It's when a large number of strange people are needed to go to support it. Why did Cao Cao increase his manpower on the supply line? Our army has not taken corresponding actions? This is very strange."

Yuan Shao was thinking after hearing this, and Guo Tuze raised his mouth and said, "What's so strange about this? The military strategy says 'can't show it,' and 'If it's empty, it's real, it'. The reason why Cao Cao increased the activities of strangers in these places was to tell us that they were strengthening their defenses on the logistics line, but in fact, it's likely that the troops on the logistics line were decreasing."

"Reduce?!" Yuan Shao asked thoughtfully.

Zheng Ji's eyes flashed. He looked at Guo Tu with a relaxed face. It seemed that Guo Tu just said casually. He had just come from Hebei and didn't understand the situation, so it was impossible for him to have an accurate judgment on the situation on the entire battlefield.

Jiang Ji thought about it and asked, "But why did Cao Cao reduce his troops on the logistics line? Is he insufficient troops?"

"Haha, Yuantu's words are strange. How can there be any sufficient time for troops to be sufficient? The forces on the battlefield must not be endless. If that happens, it would be better to gather together to carry out a thunder strike! Now Cao Cao has reduced his troops on the logistics line, so he naturally wants to put his troops to the front line."

"How do you know this?"

"Of course I guessed it. I just came back from Hebei and didn't understand the situation on the battlefield. Naturally, I guessed it. From this, I can also guess that Cao Cao's remaining casualties in Dingtao were still quite serious, but so?"

"Uh...it's true!"

"So. Cao Cao must have the intention of surrounding and attacking Dingtao. Who knew that the lord was able to see through it. The lord was just staring at one side, but he was not in a hurry to go forward to fight. This inevitably made Cao Cao anxious. If he wanted to transfer his lord out, he needed to create a critical situation in Dingtao. If Dingtao was in danger of breaking the city at any time, wasn't it an inevitable choice to increase troops?"

Yuan Shao nodded and continued, "So in order to cover up this and to ensure his logistics safety, Cao Cao had to mobilize the slightly less powerful Yi Ren troops to go south to bluff?"

"Well, this is actually easy to confirm. That is to see how the actual combat capabilities of these Inhuman troops are. If these are Inhuman troops with relatively low combat power, then the situation will be more obvious!"

Pang Ji looked at Yuan Shao, and Yuan Shao nodded and said, "This strategy is feasible. You only need to issue some tasks and let the Yi Ren troops go there for a while to know the truth."

"Lord, there may be an easier way!" Guo Tu said with a smile.

"What method? It must be extremely secretive for Cao Cao to mobilize his army. Jishi and Chengwu do not allow outsiders to enter and exit at will."

"Haha, don't go there. If the soldiers on the logistics line are transferred to the front line, the size of Cao Cao's camp and the number of military tents will change. It is easy to find that Cao Cao's soldiers cannot fall from the sky. If there are more soldiers on the front line, there will naturally be fewer logistics defenders!"

"Mr., can't it be mobilized from the rear?"

"Yuantu, don't you know that Cao's army mobilized troops from the rear?"

"This..." Zheng Ji was asked, it was true. Recently, there have been no large-scale troops around Yongyang, and no information on troops mobilization was found from the surrounding areas. So, Guo Tu's speculation should be correct, and his method is indeed feasible.

Yuan Shao frowned and raised the volume slightly: "Yuantu, do these two things immediately. Be sure to find out whether the Cao army has mobilized the logistics guards forward. If so, find out where it was mobilized at any cost. Perhaps our chance to end the war as soon as possible!"

"This... I obey the order!"

Zhang Ji hesitated for a moment or accepted the order. No matter what, he would first find out the facts. He should not do nothing because of worry.

The result was soon. Judging from the news summarized from all aspects, Guo Tu's guess was confirmed. The number of Cao's army on the front line increased by 30,000 to 40,000, while the Yiren who were operating around the logistics line was indeed a bit unbearable. In addition, a reinforcement with a number of 50,000 was heading towards Yongnu from Qiao County. According to the itinerary, it will arrive in two days.

Although Xu You, Shen Pei and others' opinions are not very consistent, Yuan Shao believes that the opportunity to defeat Cao Cao is here! (To be continued, please search Piao Tianwen, the novel is better and faster!
