After Cao cāo met Cao Zhen and his son, they cried bitterly, Cao Zhen described what he saw and heard in Yecheng, including Shen Pei being captured, Xin brothers capturing Yecheng, Yuan Shang died, Yecheng was conquered by various prefectures and counties on all sides, and the opportunity was good, and it was impossible to take any blame. All of them were described like Cao cāo's back-up, and then summoned Zang Ba to tell him to observe Yuan's abnormal movements in Liyang camp.

After I saved up a ton of farts, I saw people in the tent bowing their heads and thinking, or frowning at the sky, especially Guo Jia, Cheng Yu, Xun You, etc., who were even more thinking about it. The brain strings advanced rapidly at a speed of 80 kilometers per second, turning wildly.

Cao cāo was also full of hesitation and guesswork. Although it was confirmed that Xin Ping rebelled against Yuan Shang was a major plan formulated by his side, and that his side had major hopes for the success of this matter, when the facts were indeed in front of him, the hearts of the wise Cao soldiers led by Cao cāo began to keep fighting.

The black figure swayed back and forth in the camp for several times, but Cao cāo gently tapped the table and said with confusion: "Xin Ping successfully seized Yecheng, Yuan Shang returned to rescue and thought deeply, Zi Dan was released, Zang Ba was suddenly escorted back to Jizhou... Everything shows that there was indeed something wrong with Jizhou, but why did Gu feel so inappropriate in his heart... When he finished speaking, Guo Jia bowed and said: "I'm not hiding it from Gong Ming, this morning, Guo also received a letter from Xin Ping in the camp, and the content was in detail. It was as if he had withdrawn from the young general Zidan, but there was a bit of credibility."

Cao cāo nodded after hearing this, not commenting on it.

Xun You also responded with a message: "Qi Ming Gong, since today, although Li Yang Yuan Xi, Tian Feng, Ju Su, Zhang He and others still sent troops to fight against the camp, and their frequency gradually increased, their momentum was obviously much worse than before. They looked a bit bluffing, and they retreated immediately after pretending to be in a pretentious manner, and then came again soon. I suspect that there has been a turbulent incident in the Li Yang camp. Tian Feng and others deliberately intensified the number of times they came to call in order to cover up their eyes and ears. They wanted to retreat but could not retreat. I was afraid it was a dilemma."

Cao cāo nodded when he heard this, and suddenly said with a smile: "After that being said, how can I still not be able to get rid of all the doubts in Gu's heart? How can I do it?"

This time, the person who answered Cao cāo was not someone else, but the old man Cheng Yu. But when he saw the old tough guy pulling his beard hard, he sneered and said, "If Gong Ming is afraid, why not send troops to attack Yuan Jun Liyang Camp, look at the formation and see the camp. Is it a try?"

Cao cāo nodded when he heard this and said, "Good... Outside Liyang City, Yuan's army camp.

At this moment, under the command of the commander Yuan Xi, all Yuan troops packed up their bags and fled them, and fled them. The three armies were in a mighty manner, and they wanted to withdraw their troops and return.

Sima Yi happened to come back from a high-ranking official's big military discussion. When he saw this, he was shocked and rushed to the commander's tent to ask for Yuan Xi.

"Subordinate Sima Yi, see the governor of Youzhou!"

Yuan Xi still looked honest and honest, with her eyes flashing, and raised her head with a slight twitch. When she saw Sima Yi, she said in a muffled voice: "It turns out it's Mr. Sima. If you don't assist your cousin in the Bingzhou military camp, why are you running back to Liyang again?"

Cao cāo thought for a while and shook his head and said, "Otherwise, although Yuan Xi is not worth worrying, Tian Feng, Ju Su and others are all wise men in the world. Zhang He Gaolan is the most famous general, and there are also several strange girls in Yuan Shang's army, including Sima Yi, Zhao Yun and others. It is not so easy to deal with, how could he do this unwise thing of sudden retreat?"

Guo Jia stood up, bowed to Cao cāo, and said, "Mr. Ming said this very good, let's take it slowly."

Another day passed, and the scouts came to pay back.

"Report to Sikong, Yuan's army retreated fifteen miles yesterday and installed another camp."

After hearing this, Xiahou Dun hurriedly advised: "Meng De, Yuan's army has retreated again. If we wait any longer, we may miss the opportunity!"

But he saw Cao cāo sneering and said, "What a panic? He only retreated fifteen miles a day. It is obvious that he is tempting us. How can he hide it from me if he is a mere plan... not to chase me!"

Xu Chu Han, who was beside him, said in a silly voice: "Yes! Play with him!"

Another day later, the scout came to report again.

"How many miles did Yuan's army retreat today?" Cao cāo's face was unkind and he pounded the table and asked in a cold voice.

The scout was stunned when he heard this and hurriedly said, "How can Lord Sikong guess that Yuan Jun will withdraw today?"

Cao cāo's spirit suddenly became angry and said happily: "Didn't Yuan's army retreat today?"

"No, I retreated, I retreated for a total of thirty miles!"

Cao cāo's expression instantly stepped down again.

Beside Cao cāo, Guo Jia touched his smooth chin, thought carefully for a long time, and finally stood up and bowed to his advice: "Lord, Yuan's army retreated more than one day. If they used this as a trick to doubt the soldiers, they really retreated to Jizhou and seized Yecheng. I am afraid that Xin Ping and the two brothers Xin Pi's hard work will be wasted, and we have also lost a God-given fighter opportunity. The lord must investigate."

Cao cāo's face was gloomy and said, "But if this is Yuan Jun's plan, what should we do? If we pursue this way, wouldn't we fall into the trap?"

Beside Guo Jia, Cheng Yu stood up and said, "In this matter, the lord can select elite soldiers and fast cavalry overnight to harass the Yuan army under your banner, but do not go deeper. Take advantage of the night to see if the ambush can be drawn out. If there are ambushes, the lord will order the light cavalry to retreat quickly. If there are no ambushes, the lord will lead a large group of troops to attack them. Isn't that great?"

Cao cāo nodded after hearing this: "Zhongde's words... are very good!"

So, at the warm request of the single-eyed wolf Xiahou Dun, Cao cāo sent a soldier led by him and quickly advanced towards the rear of Yuan's army. The rest of the Cao army were ready to go and displayed in the camp, waiting for the news to come back, and then attacked each other.

Xiahou Dun's efficiency was indeed quite fast, not inferior to the vanguard Xiahou Yuan. Soon, the scout he sent back brought back an important message.

Yuan Jun did have an ambush!

After hearing the news, Cao cāo couldn't help laughing with relief.

"Hahaha, everyone, how about it? Just say that Tian Feng and Ju Su are all wise men in the world, Zhao Yun and Sima Yi are both chaotic times, how could they do such unbearable things easily? Look? There are indeed ambushing soldiers... What about General Yuan Rang? Did the ambushing soldiers of Yuan army be injured? How much did the troops under his command lose?"

"Reporting to Sikong, General Yuan Rang was not injured, and his soldiers were not injured. One soldier and another soldier was injured. The night before, although Yuan's ambush came out all over the mountains and fields, with a strong momentum, but his speed was very slow. General Xiahou Dun quickly withdrew and pulled Yuan's army out for 800 miles. The soldiers in Hebei crawled like to be a toad, and could not catch up at all... When he finished speaking, he saw Cao cāo suddenly stretching out his hand, grabbed the soldier's neck, and said angrily: "Is your words true or false?"

The soldier was startled when he heard this, and nodded quickly and agreed, "Of course... it's true!"
