In the camp of Wulin, Li Wei used a cup of tea to persuade Cao Cao not to be complacent, and the latter woke up and introspected, stood up and arranged his robes, and bowed solemnly to Li Wei to express his gratitude.

"Thanks to An Min's direct advice, otherwise I am afraid that Lone will make the mistakes of his predecessors. Cao Cao asked the banquet to be removed, and then sat on the main seat and addressed everyone.

"This also requires the lord to be able to humbly accept advice, if it is Yuan Shu instead, I'm afraid my head will have already landed. Li Wei pointed to his head and said jokingly, and by the way, he slapped Cao Cao on the back.

"It's sleek, but it's pleasing to the ear...... Hahaha!!" Cao Cao was not modest, and said directly with a smile.

At the end of the night, except for the soldiers on duty who wanted to cry because they couldn't drink and eat meat, the rest of them had a rare good night's sleep.

……

The next day, Cao Cao convened a military conference again to re-discuss the strategic deployment of Eastern Wu. After listening to Cao Cao's strategic arrangement, Guo Jia was very surprised, and then looked at Xun You and Xun Yu. The two naturally understood the meaning of Guo Jia's gaze at them, and could only answer him with a wry smile.

"Alas...... The 630,000 soldiers of the Jia Dynasty thanked An Min. If it weren't for An Min's painstaking advice, if this battle was lost, our army would have had to withdraw from Jingzhou. Guo Jia sighed, then stood up and bowed solemnly to Li Wei.

Hearing Guo Jia's words, Cao Cao couldn't help but blush. Letting go of the complacency in his heart, Cao Cao naturally regained his view of the overall situation, and naturally understood how unreasonable the strategic arrangements he had made before were.

After the management of Sun Jian and Sun Ce, the Sun family occupied the land of the six counties of Jiangdong, plus Jiangdong was not affected by the Yellow Turban Rebellion and the Central Plains melee, the population did not suffer too many losses, and even the people who fled from the Central Plains settled in Jiangdong.

Even so, the number of troops that Sun Quan can draw on is only about 60,000, and even if you add the troops of Liu Bei in Jiangxia, it is only about 80,000. According to reason, the Sun family ruled Jiangdong for three generations, and the soldiers who could be called up were not 100,000 or 80,000, but now there are only 60,000, which is really unreasonable.

In fact, this is mainly because of two reasons, the family in Jiangdong and the Yamagoe in the south. Most of the families in the Central Plains lost their family businesses or were wiped out directly due to the war, but the families in Jiangdong survived because of the protection of the Yangtze River. Because of this, the family of Jiangdong took advantage of the troubled times to acquire a lot of land and population.

The Sun family nominally occupies the six counties of Jiangdong, but in fact there are not too many places that can be fully controlled.

As for Shanyue in the south, this can be an old problem that has existed since the late Qin and early Han dynasties, and the successive Han emperors have been helpless and troubled by this cousin who was separated from the Han people, so there are not many here.

Turn your gaze back to Cao Cao......

"Now our army has 630,000 troops here in Wulin, although we can crush the combined forces of Eastern Wu and Liu Bei by attacking all the way with Chibi, in fact, on the other hand, the combined forces of Sun and Liu can also gather limited forces to deal with our army's attack......" Guo Jia paused for a moment and continued.

"The best strategic deployment is that our army is divided into multiple troops to approach the border of Eastern Wu and Liu Bei, either to feint and attack suspicious soldiers, or to echo the partial division, or to attack the main force. This will definitely make the Sun-Liu coalition army lose sight of one and the other, and will not be able to respond, and then create a good opportunity for our army to attack. After Guo Jia finished, Cao Cao's face blushed again, but fortunately his face was dark, and a little red could not attract attention.

"As soon as Qiē is based on the strategy of filial piety. Cao Cao's sentence can be regarded as a definitive conclusion for today's military discussion, that is, the arrangement of strategic deployment is entirely up to Guo Jia, and even he Cao Cao is no exception.

The three generals, Zhang Liao, Le Jin and Li Dian, led 20,000 elite cavalry from here to Huaishui through Yiyang, went straight down to Shouchun, and then took 5,000 Shouchun defenders from Shouchun and crossed the Huai River into the capital of Guangling River. An Min, can I borrow General Mi Fang from you?" Guo Jia stood in front of the map and pointed out the route, and then suddenly asked Li Wei.

"Yes. Li Wei looked at his wife-in-law and uncle, and when he saw him raising his head and chest, he answered one by one.

"General Mi Fang is a native of Xuzhou, and he has been stationed there for many years, so he must be familiar with various paths, so it is suitable for him to assist the Xuzhou Division. Guo Jia looked at Mi Fang and said to the latter.

"Guaranteed to complete the task!" Mi Fang patted her chest and said confidently.

"The four generals remember that the task of the partial division is to fear the army and the family stationed in Huiji, Wu County, and then achieve the goal of dispersing the Eastern Wu army. Guo Jia gave a task to Zhang Liao and the other four, and the four heads expressed their understanding.

"The second partial division can order Cao Ang and Cao Zhang, who are stationed in Xudu, to enter Runan with 20,000 garrisons, and then join the 10,000 troops brought by Xu Huang and General Mao Jue, a total of 30,000 troops into Hefei, and then make the Dongwu defenders of Lujiang unable to support Chibi. Guo Jia looked at Cao Cao, who understood, and immediately sent a fast horse back to Xudu to inform Cao Ang.

"The third detachment could be led by General Cao Chun to set out directly from Jiangling, and then cross Dongting Lake to capture Baqiu, threatening Chibi from the flank, and cutting off the threat from Jingnan. Guo Jia said in the direction of Cao Chun, who nodded in understanding.

"In addition, the main army of 600,000 here threatens Chibi, and the Jiangdong Army, which has only 60,000 troops, will be unable to move and will be crucified here in Chibi. Guo Jia stood in front of the map, finished his strategic deployment, and looked at Cao Cao without saying anything.

"The whole army did what Feng Xiao instructed him to do. Cao Cao's words were the final word, and the final strategic deployment for the Battle of Chibi was set.

……

In the thirteenth year of Jian'an, in October, Cao Cao sent a four-way army from Xuzhou, Yuzhou and Jingzhou to threaten the important places of the six counties of Jiangdong. In the neighboring parts of Eastern Wu, the local Taishou sent urgent documents to Sun Quan for help.

On the Jiangdong side, the main surrender faction led by Zhang Zhao took advantage of this to make suggestions to Sun Quan, arrested Zhuge Liang, and then used this as a gift to surrender to Cao Cao.

Sun Quan was distraught by these old ministers, but instead supported Cao Cao more firmly.

Despite this, Sun Quan was also afraid of Cao Cao's four-way army, and sent people to Chibi to ask Zhou Yu for advice.

"Please tell the lord that the Cao Cao army in Xuzhou and Runan is a partial division, as long as the defenders of Moling and Lujiang do not take the initiative to attack, these two Cao armies will not attack, and let the local defenders deal with it. As for Baqiu and Wulin's Cao Jun, Yu also had the confidence to deal with it, which put the lord at ease. Zhou Yu said to Sun Quan's envoy, and there was no worry on his face.

However, this is just Zhou Yu's pretending appearance, the purpose is to make Sun Quantong's envoy's eyes and mouth steady, so as not to catch fire in the backyard. In fact, Zhou Yu is also at a loss for the current situation. Although there was a disparity in strength before, because there was only one danger that needed to be defended, Zhou Yu could concentrate his forces to deal with it, but now Cao Cao suddenly opened up and divided the army into four routes, which put Zhou Yu at a passive disadvantage in defense.

"Report! Tell the governor that Jiang Zuo has a leaf boat there, and the person who came claims to be Jiang Gan, is a friend of the governor, and wants to see the governor. At this time, a soldier outside the tent suddenly shouted to Zhou Yu.

"Jiang Gan, why is he here...... wait......! Adventitious...... That's it!" Zhou Yu first had uncertain doubts about Jiang Gan's arrival, and then seemed to think of something, and his expression suddenly turned to joy.
