"Hmph." The horse tied to the wooden stake neighed, pulled the reins tied to the neck, and stomped the horse's hooves back and forth on the ground.

Finally, I found that I couldn't break free, so I stopped doing anything. I lowered my head and ate the slightly yellow horse grass in front of me.

The army led by Cao Cao was nominally the troops of Zhang Miao, the prefect of Chenliu, and they were also in line with Zhang Miao's army when they marched. Because Chenliu was very close to the journey of sour jujube, the other princes had not seen the teams of other princes when they arrived at sour jujube.

After stationed here for half a month, the troops from various places arrived one by one.

By the time the coalition forces gathered, it was already deep winter. Although the water in front of the military camp was still flowing and not frozen, the water inside was already biting cold.

The more and more soldiers in the military camp gathered, and every day you can see soldiers in the patrol patrol walking by with swords.

It seemed that the camp was preparing for war with great force, but most of the princes who arrived did not do anything and had no arrangements before the station. After arriving, they drank and chatted with each other all day in the camp, as if it was not a war, but just a banquet.

The daily discussions in the army are all sitting and talking loudly, but there is no reality at all, and it is mostly just gossip.

The slogan of attacking Dong Zhuo has been shouted out for more than a month, but so far, no princes have fought once. It took more than a month to gather together. Before stationed in Sishui, no one has ever planned to send troops.

In contrast, according to the report of the Hulao Pass, more than ten miles after the Sishui River, there were troops stationed in every day, and the defense was becoming more and more tight.

In the military camp, Gu Nan was sitting cross-legged in his arms, holding his unqualified thoughts.

There was no sound on his body, and sitting withered, it was like a stone sitting with her melting into one, and it also turned into a stone.

A few wisps of air that were invisible circling on her body, occasionally causing her hanged belt to rise and fall, making people feel like she was blown by the wind.

"What are you doing when you sit here with a sir?"

The sound from beside Gu Nan opened his eyes. It was Cao Cao who walked over in a suit of armor. The black suit was really like a general.

Walking in front of Gu Nan, he lifted up his cloak, let out a light breath, and sat down.

"General."

Gu Nan smiled and said hello, listening to Cao Cao's question, looking at the unqualified person in his hand, and said.

"It's just practicing sword."

"Haha, the way you practice swordsman is unique."

Cao Cao did not take Gu Nan's sword practice to heart. Although Mr. Gu is a strange man and has unpredictable ability, he can tell from his figure that he should not know how to do martial arts.

The warriors are not all as strong as a cow, but Mr. Gu looks a little too thin.

When he heard Gu Nan still called him with a general, his tone also became unfamiliar.

Cao Cao sighed in his heart. Mr. Gu was still a little alienated from him in the end, and he thought he had not really returned to him.

He hesitated for a moment and said, looking at Gu Nan's face.

"Sir, it's too different to call Meng De, calling him a general."

Gu Nan was stunned for a moment, then nodded: "Meng De."

"That's how it is." Cao Cao smiled on his face and was delighted. It was a good thing that Mr. Gu did not refuse.

"Say, why don't the general discuss matters with the princes in the army?"

He withdrew his eyes from Cao Cao, holding the unqualified in his hand, Gu Nan asked casually.

"Convention?"

Cao Cao's smile showed a look of self-deprecating expression.

"What's the matter to be discussed? If the people in the camp were not all armed with their soldiers, I wouldn't know whether they were here to fight or what they did."

Nowadays, the princes gathered in the military camp are not Yi Yu. They are waiting for others to come forward to send troops first. After fighting the front line, they can lose less or just sit down and enjoy their success. The contribution is worth a lot, but no one wants to sit on the person who contributes.

Cao Cao supported his hands on his legs, his smile on his face calmed down, and he snorted lightly.

"As the gentleman said, if you want to attack Dong Zhuo, you should be useless and empty talk."

After saying that, Cao Cao looked at the Sishui that was vaguely visible in the distance. After passing the Sishui River, the place he must pass to Luoyang westward is the Hulao Pass.

"With Hulao Pass first, Dong Zhuo is guarding the heavy army. How can the army be broken like this now?"

"Isn't the attack on Dong Zhuo just a joke that makes the world laugh?"

Cao Cao sneered angrily, what if Cao Cao had not only five thousand soldiers, he would have fought this front line?

But I can't catch it.

Suddenly, his heart moved and he looked at Gu Nan, and he happened to see Gu Nan sitting there chuckling.

I was stunned at first, then I seemed to think of something, and my eyes lit up.

"Sir, do you have a solution?"

"It's not a countermeasure." Gu Nan shook his head.

Cao Cao's eyes showed a little disappointment, but I think so, how could the princes be changed by one person?

But then Gu Nan continued, "It's just to look at the situation."

There are many ways to make plans.

Among them, the strange plan is only one, and the viewing situation is also one of them, including weighing and determining the situation, consolidating the foundation and consolidating public security.

A clever plan is available to reverse the situation.

The viewing situation is just to go against the path, use it with the trend, predict the opportunity, grasp the current situation, and never win a lot of battles.

The trade-offs are used to balance the struggles of all parties, and to consolidate the foundation and public security are used to stabilize and favorable tense.

All are skills of learning, so there are sayings that those who govern the country, those who govern the army, those who govern the people, and those who govern the body.

There may be differences between those who are in chaos and those who are in peace and order. There is no order, but it is just that the use is different.

Just like what Gu Nan told Cao Cao about Qingzhou, it is actually a kind of strategy to observe the situation. All you have to do is to see the situation clearly and seize the opportunity.

The plan of viewing seems simple, but in practice, you only need to follow the trend. If you want to say it out loud, that's all.

However, if you want to see the overall situation clearly, few people can do it. Those who can see clearly will naturally not be moved by the strange plan, and can also see the loopholes in the overall situation and break the solid situation.

"Perform to observe the situation?" Cao Cao said questioningly without understanding for a moment.

Gu Nan smiled mysteriously and looked at Cao Cao.

"General, oh no, Meng De, how many of these princes want to stand up and stand up and become independent by using this to attack Dong Zhuo?"

"Or, General, why do you think Mr. Yuan wants to be the leader of the alliance?"

Cao Cao was asked by Gu Nan, and he seemed to have some doubts in his mind that he had been solved.

Among these princes, there are probably many people who are thinking about taking advantage of the situation in the battle to attack Dong Zhuo.

Including him, Cao Cao also had some of this thoughts.

It seems that the princes have not moved, but since they have already shouted out the call of siege, there is no way out for this battle. It is either Dong Zhuo’s defeat or the princes’ death.

Therefore, the situation of mutual testing will not last long. When the time comes, someone will stand up and raise troops first to gain fame and achievements.
