Chapter 54, Cao Cao's strategy
Seeing Fang Wen leaving, all the princes dared to stand up and leave the city tower. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
On the platform, the princes sat there silently, without saying a word. It's not that they don't want to talk, it's that they really don't know what to say.
This is the first battle with Dong Zhuo since their alliance. But they lost the most important battle, and they lost it very badly.
Twenty generals, four strong men, just gone.
This is not the most important thing, the most important thing is that the princes of their eighteen parties were frightened by the other party alone, and they didn't even have the courage to face the other side directly.
The allies have lost their morale from top to bottom, from the big to the alliance leader, to the small sergeants, how can this battle be fought?
"If you want me to say, let's just break up. Liu Dai said suddenly. As soon as he joined the alliance, he lost two generals, and his heart hurt to death. I don't know how much I'll lose if I continue to fight. So now he can't wait to get out of here and go back to his own place. At least on your own turf, you'll have some peace of mind.
Hearing Liu Dai's words, Yuan Shao's eyes flashed. He couldn't wait to applaud. He couldn't wait to get out of here sooner than later. If you stay here, you don't know when you're going to die.
Some of the other princes also agreed with Liu Dai's words, but before they could speak out in support, some people refuted it.
The person who refutes this is naturally Cao Cao. I only heard him say, "Brother Gongshan's words are wrong. We have just met the alliance, and if we dissolve it, how will the people of the world view us, and how will we face the people of the world?"
Cao Cao's meaning is obvious, if they are defeated now, they will inevitably be looked down upon by all the princes and disciples in the world. Those princes and disciples looked down on them, and naturally they would not defect to them. Over time, these princes will inevitably decay and eventually be annexed by others.
Cao Cao's words touched everyone's sore spots, and everyone was speechless again.
If you stay here, you may be directly killed by Dong Zhuo. But if you leave now, you will become the laughing stock of the world again, and you will not be able to escape the fate of destruction in the end.
It's not going to go, it's not going to stay. It really bothered them.
At this time, Yuan Shao said, "What is Brother Mengde's good plan?"
Yuan Shao had to trust Cao Cao, it was Cao Cao who issued the edict before, and it was Cao Cao who set the strategy for everyone to fight against thieves.
Cao Cao's talent is obvious to all. At such a critical juncture, how could Yuan Shao not trust Cao Cao?
Cao Cao said, "In fact, we are not without hope of winning this time. ”
"Brother Meng De, we have all lost so badly, you still want to win? Do you think this is possible?" Yuan Shu said. He had given up the idea of begging for a thief.
"Ladies and gentlemen, please listen to me. Cao Cao said, "What do you think is the most important thing in fighting a war?"
"Needless to say, any soldier knows that the soldiers and horses have not moved, and the grain and grass go first. Yuan Shao said.
Cao Cao smiled and said, "Yes, grain and grass are the most important thing in the war. Dare to ask Brother Highway, how long can our army's food and grass last?"
"The shortest is half a year, and the longest is August. Yuan Shu said.
"Yes, our army has plenty of food and grass, and there are strong cities to defend. Already invincible!" Cao Cao said.
When everyone heard this, they all nodded.
"But have we been defending the city?" what are we talking about begging for thieves?" said Yuan Shu.
"Of course not. Cao Cao said, "The root of the war is the war of grain and grass, as long as we can keep our own grain and grass, the war will be half won." And if you can destroy the enemy's food and grass, then victory is doomed. ”
"Brother Meng De means, let's find out where Dong Zhuo's grain and grass are hidden, and burn it down?" asked Yuan Shao.
"Yes, as long as Dong Zhuo has no food and grass, then we will win against the thief. Cao Cao said firmly.
Hearing Cao Cao's words, all the princes discussed it. In other words, if they can succeed and make a contribution, who of them would want to leave here?
Cao Cao's words just now dispelled the worries in their hearts and pointed out the possibility of victory. What reason did they have not to stay? Even if there was a small chance that they would be able to burn Dong Zhuo's grain and grass in the end, it was worth their attempt.
"Okay, then let's listen to Brother Meng De, find out Dong Zhuo's grain and grass, and burn it!" Yuan Shao said and picked up his wine glass, "Come, I wish us success in the thief!"
Then all the princes drank the cup of wine together.
Now the princes are happy, they can not die, and they can make contributions, who wants to leave?
But these princes who drank happily didn't know that even if they burned Dong Zhuo's grain and grass, they would not be able to win. As long as there is Fang Wen, there will be countless grains and grasses.
Yuan Shao is drinking happily here, and Fang Wen is also celebrating.
"Young master, what is this, so delicious?" Zhang Liao said as he ate.
"It's spicy, it's refreshing to eat. Fang Wen was also eating.
"The name Malatang is really apt, it is numb and spicy, and it is very fragrant. Zhang Liao ate one string after another.
Of course, it's not just Fang Wen and Zhang Liao who are eating Malatang, almost everyone in the entire camp is eating Malatang. That's their lunch. It's just that Fang Wen and Zhang Liao ate in the big tent, while those soldiers ate in the open air.
In Fang Wen's camp, there are not only Fang Wen and Zhang Liao, but there are also twenty-one people.
These twenty-one people were the allied generals who were knocked out by Fang Wen and brought back, and at this moment, they had all been contracted by Fang Wen's blood.
Why are there only twenty-one? Because the three Liu Bei brothers haven't woken up yet, or Fang Wen doesn't want the three brothers to wake up at all. Fang Wen didn't plan to contract the three of them, if they won, then how could Fang Wen and the soldiers enjoy this spicy feast?
At this time, Zhang Liao raised his glass and said, "Don't patronize and eat, it's the first time we've met, so we have to get to know each other." I've seen you all in Xia Zhang Liao. Our young master's name is Fang Wen. However, without the permission of the young master, the young master's name cannot be revealed. ”
"Before Yu She, he was a subordinate of Yuan Shu, and he met the young master here and General Zhang Liao. ”
"General Yu She, no matter whose subordinate you were before, now you are only the young master's subordinates, and we are equal existences. Zhang Liao said.
"Yes, when you come here, everyone is a family, don't talk about your past. Fang Wen also said.
"It's me who talks too much, and I punish myself with a glass. Yu Shi said and drank a glass of wine, "This wine is strong enough, this is the wine that men should drink." ”
"You drink less, be careful later, Yuan Shao will send someone to steal the camp. Fang Wen reminded.
"Young Master, we have measure. Zhang Liao said.
At this time, Pan Feng introduced, "I met the young master in Xia Pan Feng and met you." ”
Then everyone introduced themselves one by one. In the end, it was Zhao Yun's turn, and I only listened to him and said, "I am Changshan Zhao Zilong......"
As soon as Zhao Yun said this, he saw Fang Wen squirt out and drink half of the wine, and asked in surprise, "What did you say your name was?"
