The policy has been determined for now, and the rest is the direction of retreat. On the one hand, we are moving towards the direction of the white horse, but on the other hand, we are retreating directly to the south in the opposite direction.

"No matter how the outcome of the Battle of White Horse..." Cao Cao looked at everyone, "Yuan Shao probably received news in the past two days, believing that our main force had been sent to White Horse, and our side was empty. Although in fact, we were indeed a little empty."

"If you win, then Yuan Shao will think that we are merging with the main force, so he will naturally act cautiously. If you lose, then they don't need to be in a hurry and can slowly chase us from behind. To make them look down on them and give up their guard, we must go in the opposite direction, that is, to the south or retreat west..." Cao Cao explained to everyone in private.

There was no need to explain it at all, just do it alone, so the effect would be better.

"Is this considered the 'history' you are familiar with?" After everyone left, Cao Cao looked at Wang Yong and asked.

"I don't know much about the whole story of the Battle of Guandu." Wang Yong shook his head, "This is the reason why I chose to be low-key. I only know the key to this battle, and I am not very familiar with the others."

"The Battle of Guandu..." Cao Cao looked at the map, "West of Yanjin, northeast of Zhongmu. If I use this strategy, then we are indeed likely to move towards Guandu... So have the 'I' in that world used this trick? Well, it seems that it is useless to ask you..."

"Just from the current situation, it is very likely that this is the case. Based on my speculation, our main force will pass directly in the Battle of White Horse, rather than just dividing troops. After all, the original world did not have Yanzhou Legion and no high-yield crops. In other words, in the Battle of Guandu, Yuan Shao could mobilize an army of 100,000, but we estimated that we could only mobilize an army of 100,000 to 20,000 to fight at most." Wang Yong thought for a while and said.

20,000 to 100,000. Most people probably don’t have the idea of ​​fighting when they see this poor combat power. Of course, it cannot be said that there are 100,000 on the front battlefield. For example, now, Yuan Shao has 20,000 soldiers in Qingzhou, and 10,000 to 20,000 soldiers in Hanoi. In the end, the front battlefield includes about 60,000 naval troops, which can be considered as 100,000 combat soldiers.

Cao Cao had more soldiers than in history and could deal with more sudden situations. Even if conditions permit, Liu Bei could defeat Yuan Tan, then occupy Qingzhou, and provide support to the Guandu battlefield. Even if some of them were good, he could be a surprise soldier, which caught Yuan Shao off guard.

"Not to mention those..." Cao Cao shook his head, "After tomorrow, we may flee in a panic for a while, which means that for a day or two, we can't even make a fire and cook. I need a batch of dry food, enough for about three to five days."

"I understand." Wang Yong nodded. He had always prepared the dry food, so there was no need to prepare it deliberately. Cao Cao's meaning was obviously not as simple as asking him to prepare dry food for three to five days, but preparing dry food for three to five days that was "tasty".

It's better to have some sugar. Considering that it's only three or five days, someone who acts like a spoiled person with him is actually quite cute... Wang Yong raised his lips slightly and walked out of the tent.

The next morning, Wang Yong handed over a bag of dry food to Cao Cao. The entire camp was incredible last night, and a smell of oil filled it. I don’t know how many people twitched their noses and released poison in the middle of the night, making it difficult for many soldiers to fall asleep.

"What is this little meatball..." Cao Cao asked with a cracked little ball.

"Open the dates, fill them in one bite. Eat four to five meals, which can almost meet daily needs." Wang Yong replied.

There are about forty open dates in this pocket, which are prepared according to the amount of about three days. The fastest update to the computer terminal::/

"Isn't this thing just fried dough?" Cao Cao looked and smelled it. He felt that it was just that. At most, some white sesame seeds were stuck outside, which smelled extremely fragrant after being fried. The fastest update mobile terminal::

"Probably..." Wang Yong smiled faintly, without explaining.

"I want to see what the secret is there!" Cao Cao was curious instead. He picked up one and ate it. He could naturally eat it in one bite. He bit off the crispy outer skin on the outside, and the inside was soft and comfortable. The fragrance of sesame and a sweet smell left a fragrance on the cheeks.

"Are sugar added to this flour?" Cao Cao chewed the opening date. The more he chewed the smell, the more fragrant it became, especially the sweetness was really unbearable, and he wanted to eat it after eating it.

"When kneading, sugar is added to the water used." Wang Yong replied, "And when chewing, the starch in the flour will be reduced to maltose in the mouth, further enhancing the sweetness."

"Are you sure this thing really enough for three days to dry food?" Cao Cao looked at Wang Yong when he heard this. Just as the taste of the dates was spoken, it was estimated that many people could finish it in one or two days.

"But this is indeed a three-day quota. I have prepared four more in..." Wang Yong said helplessly. If you continue to make it, you probably can't carry it. Forty ones are big bags.

"Well, everyone is ready to prepare, we are ready to decapitate the camp!" Cao Cao was too lazy to say, so he ordered directly.

Before Cao Cao set out the camp, he had already made a pre-war statement that Yuan Shao's army went south, with thousands of cavalry and more infantry behind him. The headquarters lacked horses and could not fight head-on. He could only avoid his edge and wait for the rear army to come and join.

This strategy is very reasonable. Everyone didn't say anything, so they set up camps, took dry food, and then moved westward.

"Isn't it going south?" Sima Yi whispered to Xun You.

"Who knows this?" Xun You shook his head. Anyway, he was sure at first that the direction of retreat was nothing more than to go west and south.

"General, why don't you release the scout?" After walking for a while, Cao Xiu stepped forward to ask.

"We are retreating, not trying to fight with the other party. If we release the scout, wouldn't we tell the other party that we are retreating in this direction? I will make them mistakenly think that we are retreating south!" Cao Cao replied.

"Okay..." Cao Xiu was actually a little unwilling to accept it. Although there were thousands of enemies, the tiger and leopard cavalry under her command were not weak. As long as it was used well, even if the opponent had thousands, he could slowly grind the opponent to death.

However, Cao Cao had no choice but to follow him. After walking like this for two days, the messenger from the white horse came over came to win, and at the same time said that the large army was about to come to rescue him.

Naturally, Yuan Shao also received news that he knew that Yan Liang had died and that less than 3,000 people who went there came back were less than 3,000. She almost killed Jiang Qi. In the end, the four military advisors pleaded for him, so he saved his life. He just transferred him back to Yecheng as the guard.

"Cao Cao actually sent his main force to the White Horse. In other words, her headquarters lacks war horses now. Even if the Yanzhou Army's troops in Chenliu are only more than 10,000, the key is that there are still war horses... Do you know the approximate direction of Cao Cao's journey?" Yuan Shao thought for a while, and then asked.

"It seems that I have been going west... I may have sent someone to Hanoi for help." Xu You replied with a reply.

"She wants to join the Hanoi troops, but I don't let her join!" Yuan Shao clenched his fists.
