Three Kingdoms: The identity of the financial master behind the scenes was exposed by Cao Cao

In that battle, Gongsun Zan's proud White Horse Yi Cong army was completely wiped out.

Even Zhao Yun, who is always brave, was psychologically shadowed by Ju Yi, and he still has lingering fears every time he thinks about it.

"Sikong, the first to reach the camp is the best soldier in the world, don't underestimate it!"

Zhao Yun immediately reminded him seriously.

A hint of fear flashed across Cao Cao's eyebrows.

"Our army has just conquered Xiapi and is tired from long battles. However, Yuan Tan’s army of 40,000 is a fresh force."

"Even if Ju Yi didn't get to the camp first, Deng thought that our army would not be able to confront him head-on."

Chen Deng was also quite wary of the menacing Yuan Jun.

"We quickly broke through Xiapi in order to rush back to Xudu to prepare for the decisive battle with Yuan Shao."

"If we don't confront Yuan Tan head-on, we won't be able to win quickly, and we won't be able to leave in time to return east. Wouldn't it delay the decisive battle with Yuan Shao?"

Guo Jia objected to Chen Deng's proposal.

Cao Cao shook his head and sighed, with a helpless look on his face.

There is no way, this is the benefit of Yuan Shao's great family.

His son Yuan Tan alone has four soldiers in Qingzhou. Tens of thousands of people.

And the mobile troops he can use are only 40,000. With his troops stretched thin, he naturally cannot fight on two fronts, confronting Yuan Tan and competing with Yuan Shao's main force.

"Feng Xiao's words are reasonable, but Yuan Tan must be defeated quickly!"

Cao Cao made the final decision and set the tone.

Zhao Yun said,"If we want a quick victory, we have to fight Yuan Tan head-on. But if we can't break Ju Yi's first camp, our army will have no certainty of victory!"

Cao Cao twirled his forehead with his fingertips, his brows condensing into a single line.

Guo Jia and Chen Deng's thoughts were also racing, but they had no perfect plan for the moment. Gradually, all of their eyes turned to Cao Yuan.

At this time, Cao Yuan was still sipping the fragrant tea by himself.

Suddenly, he felt the surroundings quiet down.

When he looked up, he saw a pair of eyes staring at him. With a shake of his hand, there was something in the cup. Tea also spilled three points

"Ziyou, I can only rely on you to defeat Yuan Tan quickly."

Cao Cao said with a smile.

"rely on me?"

Cao Yuan's face was blank.

Cao Cao patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile:"If you can come up with water to flood Xiapi and quickly defeat Xiapi for me, naturally you can also come up with a clever plan to quickly defeat Yuan Tan!"

Well, Boss Cao is giving him additional performance.

"Sikong Rong, let me think about it"

"If you want to defeat Yuan Tan quickly, you must first defeat Yuan Tan."

"Zilong's red horse Yi Cong must be sent rather than used. From this point of view,..."

He sipped the fragrant tea and frowned deeply.

Sudden.

In his eyes, a mysterious sneer flashed, and he said:"Sikong, please quickly send Gao Shun to discuss the matter."

"Gao Shun?"

Cao Cao looked puzzled.

What we are discussing now is how to defeat Yuan Tan's advance camp, and what is the meaning of summoning Lu Bu's surrender?

"Ziyou, did you call him to come and do it? Cao

Cao then asked.

Cao Yuan did not point it out, but smiled lightly and said:"Sikong, please let me play some mystery first, just call him here.""

Cao Cao had no choice but to put aside his suspicion and send someone to summon Gao Shun.

Not long after, a military general with a Chinese character face came calmly and handed him over to see him.

"Ziyou, I summoned you, what are you going to do next? Cao

Cao pointed at Gao Shun.

Cao Yuan asked,"General Boping, when you were under Lu Bu, you once commanded a camp, right?""

At the mention of being trapped in the camp, Gao Shun's figure was shaken, and a bit of sadness flashed in his eyes.

"The last general did once command the trapped camp, but Marquis Wen never allowed the trapped camp to go into battle, and later dismantled it, and it no longer existed. Gao

Shun replied sadly

"You are good at training troops. Most of the troops and horses in Lu Bu's hands were trained by you and then handed over to other generals to command."

"Therefore, you have great prestige among Lu Bu's army."

"Because of this, Lu Bu is wary of you and doesn't want your commander to be trapped in the camp to perform meritorious service. He even doesn't hesitate to dismiss this elite team."

"I don't know if my guess is correct or not."

Cao Yuan explained Gao Shun's situation in an understatement.

Gao Shun was shocked, looked at Cao Yuan in amazement, and said in admiration:"No wonder the young lady said, military advisor, you are so clever and clever, and you predict events like a god. Today, the general finally made a plan. It’s insight."

His compliment was tantamount to acquiescence.

When Cao Cao heard this, he couldn't help but sarcastically said:"Lü Bu is narrow-minded. He has generals and elite soldiers but dare not use them. If he does not die, it will be unforgivable."

Everyone agreed.

"Boping, if, I mean if your trap is still there"

"If you are asked to use the trapped camp to deal with Ju Yi's first camp, what are your chances of winning?"

After Cao Yuan laid the groundwork, he finally turned to the topic.

Cao Cao suddenly realized that he understood Cao Yuan's intention of calling Gao Shun here.

"When I was in Jizhou at the end of the first year, I saw Ju Yi's Xian Deng camp. He was indeed the best in the world."

"However, the general is not boasting. If he gets to the camp first and faces the enemy's trapped camp, he will definitely lose!"

Gao Shun patted his chest, and his face was full of confidence.

When Cao Cao heard this, his spirits suddenly lifted.

"Just as I expected...."

Cao Yuan smiled secretly and asked:"How did Bo Ping get the confidence to say that the trapped camp will definitely win the first camp?"

"The essence of entering the camp first is nothing more than a large shield and a crossbow."

"The shield bearer can block the arrows, and the crossbowmen can kill the infantry and cavalry. It is precisely for this reason that the white horse Yi Cong was destroyed by the arrows of the first camp."

"But when I fell into the camp, it was a heavily armored infantry. The soldiers not only wore iron armor, but were also equipped with large shields and held long halberds."

"The crossbow arrows used to attack the camp first are completely ineffective against our trapped camp. As long as they are attached to us, they can be easily destroyed."

Gao Shun, with a proud expression on his face, pointed out the pros and cons of the trapped camp and the first camp.

Cao Yuan didn't ask any more questions and just looked at Cao Cao with a smile.

Surprise filled Cao Cao's face.

"Since the trapped camp is the enemy of the first camp, I will let you choose the elite of the army, immediately rebuild the trapped camp, and destroy Ju Yi's first camp for me!"

Gao Shun looked shocked, and then he understood the purpose of Cao Cao calling him here.

It turned out that it was Cao Yuan who recommended Cao Cao and gave him the opportunity to perform meritorious service.

As a surrendered general, he can perform meritorious service for Cao Cao, which will be beneficial to him in Cao Cao's camp. Having a firm foothold will naturally be of great help.

Gao Shun's grateful eyes couldn't help but look at Cao Yuan.

But then,

Gao Shun sighed:"It's not difficult to have elite soldiers, it's not difficult to have a big shield and a long halberd, but what's difficult is The heavy armor required by the soldiers, I am afraid that even my whole army may not be able to assemble the iron armor required by the eight hundred soldiers trapped in the battle."

Hearing this, the surprise on Cao Cao's face could not help but fade.

Iron armor is expensive to make. Most of Cao's soldiers in the camp wear leather armor. Only generals above the rank of captain are qualified to wear iron armor..

Eight hundred pieces of iron armor, where can I assemble them in a moment?

"Could it be that Sikong forgot that the Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry we wiped out were all heavily armored cavalry, so the captured armors were just used to equip the trapped camp."

Cao Yuan reminded with a smile

"If Ziyou hadn't reminded me, I would have almost forgotten that there were still these armors! Cao

Cao suddenly realized the truth and said happily:"Bo Ping, I will give you all the wolf cavalry armor. Do you have the confidence to rebuild the trapped camp, defeat Yuan Tan for me, and help me defeat Yuan Tan!" Gao

Shun no longer had any worries, and he handed over his hand with emotion:"Thank you Sikong for trusting me. I, Gao Shun, guarantee it with my head on my neck. If I can't break it, I'll go to the camp first, and I'll come see you with my head!""
