Bai Xiaowen also had some doubts in his heart.
Cao Cao, the famous swindler, what was his true strategic goal?
Was it Anyang or Weixian?
Regardless of whether it was Anyang or Weixian, their final goal was definitely Yedu.
Anyang was the southern gate and Weixian was the eastern gate. Neither could be lost.
As the defending side, although they had the advantage of relying on the city walls, in terms of strategy, they were easily led by the nose by the enemy.
Bai Xiaowen pretended to think for a moment and decided to cheat.
"Everyone, please wait for a moment. Let me go into the inner hall to think."
Tian Feng, Dong Zhao, and the others were stunned. Only Li Shuyi, Cecilia, and Han Xu, the three trusted generals, followed Bai Xiaowen into the inner hall.
After entering the inner hall, Bai Xiaowen directly hung up the mountain river geographical map, entered the state of inner vision, and injected his spiritual force.
At the same time, he imagined Cao Cao, Xiahou Dun, Zhang Liao, Xu Huang, and the other Cao generals.
On the mountain river geographical map, red dots appeared one after another.
After looking at the first few, Bai Xiaowen was confident.
These red dots were like a meeting, densely packed together in front of the Cao camp in front of Anyang City.
The so-called support for Cao Xiong was a lie!
"Looks like Cao Cao's main target is still Anyang," Cecilia said.
Li Shuyi said, "Has Cao Xiong been abandoned? He only has three thousand men. After taking down Fanyang, he probably has less than three thousand men. If he goes to attack Weixian, will he have enough food? "
Bai Xiaowen said, "Cao Xiong has indeed been abandoned. It looks like it's just as I predicted … Cao Cao has found Cao Xiong suspicious. "
"With Cao Cao's intelligence, he can guess that the one who poisoned Cao Pi and the others was Cao Xiong. However, in Cao Cao's eyes, Cao Xiong is his son. Can he really use Cao Xiong as bait and ignore him? That's too cruel, "Li Shuyi said.
Bai Xiaowen shook his head, "I think Cao Cao has already found out that Cao Xiong is not the original Cao Xiong, but a fake."
His three teammates nodded, thinking that it was very likely.
Bai Xiaowen waved his hand and said, "No matter what, we will use Cao Cao's main attack on Anyang as a strategic base to analyze and respond.
"First of all, Cao Cao pretended to let out news that he was going to support Cao Xiong and attack Wei County. He wanted us to fall for it and split up our forces to save Wei County.
"Secondly, if we are going to mobilize our troops, we will definitely send Zhang He and Gao Lan's troops to the west of the city.
"So, Cao Cao's goal is obvious."
Cecilia said, "He wants to attack the camp west of the city."
"That's right! As long as the Western Stronghold is uprooted, Cao Cao's army will be able to surround Anyang City from all sides! Cut off the connection between Anyang and Yedu, "Bai Xiaowen said." Based on Cao Cao's usual strategy of using troops to win by surprise, attacking at night is the most likely strategy. "
Cecilia's mind spun quickly. "Can't we do the opposite? When Cao Cao launched a sneak attack on our West Barracks, we dispatched troops to attack Cao Cao's main camp. "
Bai Xiaowen shook his head and said, "A similar situation has already happened in Guandu. Cao Cao is smart and resourceful, so he will definitely leave behind a strong general to defend the camp. If we can't take it down, we will lose the Western Stronghold and be surrounded by Cao Cao's army. This is unacceptable. "
Li Shuyi smiled and said, "I know how to fight. In the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, when the main general predicted that the enemy would attack, he would use an ambush to defeat the enemy. "
Bai Xiaowen laughed and said, "Shuyi is right, similar to what I thought. However, I have a backup plan. This time, Cao Cao's plan was seen through by me using the Mountain River Geographical Map. This is the best time to decide victory and defeat. The ambush is just a small trick and won't be able to hurt Cao Cao. I want to use this chance to completely break Cao Cao's dragon vein! "
Breaking Cao Cao's dragon vein was just a symbolic statement. It was similar to killing the dragon in Go; it was the deciding move.
A moment later, Bai Xiaowen returned to the high ranking military meeting room. He did not talk about the process of using the Mountain River Geographical Map. Instead, he sent out order after order to secretly move troops.
Although Tian Feng, Dong Zhao, and the other strategists were a little stunned, they still trusted Bai Xiaowen's ability to use troops.
Bai Xiaowen's ability had been tested in battle and was different from Yuan Shao's.
This night, nothing happened, which surprised Bai Xiaowen.
The next day, an emergency report came from Weixian. After Cao Xiong's army formed up, many roads were covered in smoke and dust.
There were many flags, such as' Supporting Wave General Xiahou Dun ',' Middle General Zhang Liao ', and' Deputy General Xu Huang '. The Weixian Cao army's morale soared.
Many of the civil servants and generals under Bai Xiaowen requested to help Weixian, but Bai Xiaowen did not allow them. Dong Zhao suggested to attack the Cao army camp in front of Anyang, but Bai Xiaowen rejected it.
Tian Feng did not try to persuade him.
Some people tried to persuade Tian Feng that this matter was of utmost importance and that he had to do so.
Tian Feng stroked his beard and said with a smile, "My lord has a plan in mind, your thoughts and thoughts are exactly the same as mine. What's the point of persuading him? "
Bai Xiaowen gave Tian Feng a thumbs up in his heart. Tian Feng must have understood Bai Xiaowen's thoughts based on Bai Xiaowen's deployment last night.
Furthermore, Cao Cao's' performance 'was too much.
He wanted to beat the drums and gongs to tell everyone that his main force was going to attack Weixian! All of you should go and assist him!
The art of war was deceitful; what was fake was real, and what was real was fake.
This move might be useful against an indecisive person like Yuan Shao, but against a strategist of Tian Feng's level, it was a weakness. Using it against Bai Xiaowen, who was using a cheat, was just asking for death!
Bai Xiaowen made some adjustments to last night's deployment, ordering the various troops to follow orders and not slack off.
… …
Late at night, the sky was dark.
From the Cao army camp, a vanguard force appeared and headed toward the west stronghold of Anyang City to rob the camp.
The leading general of this vanguard force was eight feet tall. He had a heroic appearance and held a horse-slaying knife. He was Cao Cao's beloved general, Xu Chu. The troops behind him did not make any sound as they silently advanced.
Behind them, other Cao army forces appeared and followed from afar.
Cao Cao was a suspicious person. Even though he had done so much preparation and even used his own son as bait, he would not send all his forces to rob the camp. Instead, he sent the tall and strong Xu Chu to lead three thousand men as the vanguard to scout the situation.
If the enemy was not prepared and the stronghold was empty, Zhang Liao and Xu Huang would charge in under Cao Cao's leadership and totally destroy the stronghold.
In truth, the day Cao Cao's troops arrived at Anyang City, he had wanted to take down this stronghold. However, if he attacked the stronghold, it would be difficult to take it down immediately. He would also have to bear the arrow rain from the Anyang city wall. The losses would be too heavy, and it was not worth it.
Hence, Cao Cao suppressed his desire to attack the stronghold and sent troops to attack Anyang City for two days. He did not take a look at the west stronghold.
What was the reason? It was to catch the enemy off guard and make them move their soldiers to save Wei County.
Not long later, Cao Cao saw that Xu Chu was already close to the west stronghold and the Yuan army had not reacted.
Mournful cries rang out.
Xu Chu killed the sentry in front of the stronghold. He then called out and three thousand men surged into the stronghold.
"Success! Yuan Xi is young and inexperienced. He fell into my trap! "Cao Cao jumped up and ordered," Generals listen up! Charge into the stronghold and kill all the enemy soldiers. Tear down the last piece of wood! "
