The game starts with Cao Cao as the main character, and the beauty sheds countless tears.

Chapter 317: The promised tactical demonstration turned into an open-book exam?

"You two..."

Yuan Shao hesitated.

The troops led by Yan Liang and Wen Chou were Yuan Shao's own troops.

What if we fall into Cao Cao's trap and are wiped out?

The proportion of Yuan Shao's remaining troops within his own camp was even lower!

Seemingly sensing Yuan Shao's "worries," Ju Shou very considerately said:

"My lord, Generals Yan Liang and Wen Chou are commendable for their loyalty and bravery."

"However, I believe that we should not attack both Baima Yanjin and Baima Yanjin at the same time."

"One must eat one bite at a time, and walk one step at a time. First Baima, then Yanjin, how about that?"

Yuan Shao never imagined that one day Ju Shou would speak to him in such a gentle and soft-spoken manner.

Yuan Shao was flattered and overwhelmed.

Ahem, just kidding. Yuan Shao suspected Ju Shou of being tricked, so he immediately pretended to be conflicted and said:

"Yan Liang and Wen Chou are both brave, but they are somewhat lacking in strategy."

"In your opinion, who is suitable to serve as an advisor?"

The advisor Yuan Shao referred to was a separate advisor assigned to Yan Liang and Wen Chou, who served as a temporary advisor.

Ju Shou laughed and said:

"In my opinion, Yuan Hao is the most suitable person to serve as an advisor."

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone turned to look at Tian Feng.

Tian Feng had a sour face and looked sullen.

"Yuan Hao, would you be willing to serve as an advisor?"

When Yuan Shao singled him out, Tian Feng said in a sarcastic tone:

"Since the lord has already discussed it with Gongyu, why bother asking my opinion?"

An awkward expression appeared on Yuan Shao's face.

But on second thought, having Tian Feng as an advisor would at least ensure fairness and prevent Yan Liang and Wen Chou from being harmed.

Otherwise, if Feng Ji from Ju Shou's side were to serve as his advisor, Yuan Shao would certainly not feel at ease.

Yan Liang and Wen Chou were both trusted generals who had followed him for a long time, so he absolutely could not afford to make any mistakes.

Suddenly, Ju Shou said again:

Why use a sledgehammer to crack a nut?

"Generals Yan Liang and Wen Chou are renowned throughout the world for their martial prowess."

"Send one of them to capture Baima and the other to capture Yanjin; there's no need for both of them to be together."

Upon hearing this, Yuan Shao realized that it made perfect sense.

Attacking Baima at this moment seems like a probing attack.

Yuan's army and Cao's army had never formally fought each other, and neither knew the other's true strength.

Let's test the waters; there's no need to send both of our top generals up.

Otherwise, if neither of these two were in the army, and Ju Shou were to cause trouble, Yuan Shao would be caught off guard.

With this in mind, Yuan Shao made the decision:

"In that case, let Yan Liang go and attack Baima."

"After Yan Liang captures Baima, I will send Wen Chou to attack Yanjin!"

"My lord is wise."

Ju Shou bowed solemnly to Yuan Shao, inwardly cursing the local dialect of Guangping.

……

White Horse City

Cao Cao personally led Su Yu, Jia Xu, Xun You, and others to this place.

Unlike Yuan Shao, Cao Cao preferred to do things personally.

Although the Battle of White Horse is very likely a "test of the waters" for both sides.

However, if Yuan Shao's army is too aggressive and Cao Cao's army cannot defend Baima, the consequences will be severe.

Therefore, Cao Cao directly replaced Liu Yan, the original garrison commander of Baima, and chose to personally lead the troops into battle.

"Report!"

"Yuan Shao has dispatched Yan Liang to lead the vanguard, which is rapidly approaching our Baima direction!"

"The military staff officer seems to be Tian Feng!"

The intelligence scouts have brought the latest news.

After listening, Su Yu sighed softly:

"Looks like we're going to be picking up more kills."

Xun You, who was eager to try his hand, asked in confusion:

"What Ziyi means is...?"

Su Yu patted Xun You on the shoulder and sighed:

"Gongda, how about we make a bet?"

"I'm betting on whether a letter from Yuan Shao's camp will reach my Cao camp tonight!"

"what!!!"

Xun You was startled and took two steps back.

He was a pure tactician.

In terms of scheming and intrigue, they are far less adept than those old foxes like Su Yu, Jia Xu, Guo Jia, and Cheng Yu.

Of course, Cheng Yu is currently guarding Xuzhou, while Guo Jia is with Guo Tu, mingling in Yuan Shao's camp.

In Cao Cao's camp, the only truly cunning and treacherous individuals are Su Yu and Jia Xu.

Jia Xu smiled slightly; he immediately understood what Su Yu meant.

With Yan Liang as the vanguard, and Feng Ji added to the lineup, then there's nothing wrong with it.

But the fact that the staff officer is Tian Feng is quite telling!

The army under Yan Liang's command was a mixed force.

It included both Yuan Shao's own troops and Ju Shou's troops.

For Ju Shou, "You can't catch a wolf without risking your cub."

Moreover, Ju Shou truly didn't care about the loss of a few soldiers.

But Yuan Shao was different.

If Yan Liang gets into trouble, Yuan Shao's situation will undoubtedly become even more difficult.

Replace Yan Liang with Tian Feng.

For Ju Shou, it was a pure, damn profit!

Anyway, Tian Feng wasn't on our side, and he had a foul mouth, so it's good that he's dead.

Don't get emotionally involved with Celestial Dragons.

The Celestial Dragons have no feelings; they only see self-interest.

Xun You, observing their expressions, saw that Su Yu and Jia Xu's smiles were full of affirmation, and quickly said with a wry smile:

“I’d better not gamble anymore. If the stakes are that I take over my fourth uncle’s job at the Minister’s Office, my life will be over.”

Upon hearing this, Su Yu said in a serious tone:

"Gongda, you're wrong about that."

"The job at the Ministry of Personnel is guaranteed, with a stable income regardless of drought or flood. There are also gifts on holidays and several cartloads of New Year's goods. Others would love to go there but can't!"

Xun You shivered.

Compared to those two wicked guys, Su Yu and Jia Xu, the Xun family members are simply innocent and kind little cuties!

After the group finished discussing, Xun You went to tell Cao Cao about the defense plan.

Su Yu and Jia Xu went back to their room for a nap.

Sure enough, not long after nightfall, a letter from Yuan's camp was delivered by a bodyguard.

The person who wrote this letter was not Guo Jia, but...

Although this person didn't leave a name, cunning old foxes like Su Yu and Jia Xu already had the answer in their hearts.

Cao Cao's camp knew everything about Yan Liang's battle formation, his location, tomorrow's marching route, and when they would arrive near Baima!

Xun You was dumbfounded!

Where's the promised sense of participation?

You're going to give an open-book exam?

In other words, Yan Liang is now like a huge experience pack.

All Cao Cao needs to do is send a fierce general to launch a surprise attack, and we can take his head!

Who should we send?

Su Yu compared the strength of several super generals in the army.

In the end, Zhao Yun was chosen!

The reason is simple: although both Dian Wei and Xu Chu can ride horses, they prefer foot combat.

When it comes to mounted combat, Zhao Yun is undoubtedly the best in the army.

Moreover, Zhao Yun also developed some new moves through his daily battles with Xu Chu and Dian Wei.

In addition to the endurance-based playing style that they were originally good at.

With surprise attacks and explosive bursts of power, Zhao Yun fears no one now!
