Chapter 166: Find out Liu Chan's weaknesses
Liu Adou.
Speaking of this name, Xu Shu saw a small figure in front of his eyes, sometimes asleep, sometimes crying, causing the neighbors to be restless.
At that time, Xu Shu was still under the account of Liu Bei in Xinye,
Adou was born, and he carefully held this fat child in his arms, and he didn't dare to breathe.
It's just that the child who likes to sleep always cries loudly in his arms, and every time he cries and thinks of it, the bold Guan Zhang will laugh non-stop, laughing at Xu Yuanzhi's wisdom, and he can't help a baby.
Xu Shu never expected that more than ten years had passed in a hurry, and the baby who cried in his arms had grown into Cao Wei's confidant.
It's like he didn't guess that Liu Bei would survive after the Battle of Changbanpo and become Cao Wei's strong enemy again.
When Cao Cao heard that Liu Chanti had an army of 30,000 going north, he was stunned at first, and then showed a wry smile:
"Zixiao, if Liu Adou has an army of 30,000, I'm afraid that he has already killed Xinye at this moment.
You...... Hey, forget it. ”
He waved his hand and said:
"Since Liu Adou sent troops, our army will not lose Fancheng without losing it, and it is already undefeated."
He saw that Cao Ren was still holding a letter in his hand, and frowned again:
"What is this?"
"This ...... This is a letter sent by Liu Adou to the King of Wei. ”
The story of Liu Adou's writing to tease Lu Meng has long been spread to Jiangbei.
Cao Ren didn't dare to open Cao Cao's letter casually, nor did he dare to hide it, but he was afraid that Cao Cao would see something unexpected, so he could only hold it in his hand and not send it.
Xiahoudun stretched out his hand to take the letter, opened it and glanced at it, put it in his sleeve, coughed dryly, and said:
"Let's get down to business first."
Cao Cao also thought that nothing had happened, and said in a hoarse voice:
"As the princes heard, Liu Adou is powerful and has become a lonely henchman.
Lonely and old, I also asked the public for advice, how to break this yellow-mouthed son and solve the difficulties of my henchmen. ”
Cao Cao didn't specify who would speak first, but everyone turned their attention to Xiahoudun.
Xiahoudun shook his head and said:
"I would like to listen to the text and the high opinion."
Jia Xu has always believed that he is not Cao Cao's Yuan, and he is afraid of being suspicious of Cao Cao, so he has been using the tactic of playing dead all these years and never comes out easily.
This time he originally wanted to watch from the wall, but Xiahoudun called his name, and he was helpless.
After pondering for a long time, he said in a deep voice:
"The old minister thought that Shu had Liu Bei, Zhuge Liang, Liu Adou, and Guan Yu;
Sun Quan of Eastern Wu was newly defeated, but the foundation was not damaged, and there were still tens of thousands of armor soldiers.
It is difficult for these two countries to be eager to achieve this.
In the humble opinion of the ministers, it is better to defend the country, build water conservancy, and restore people's livelihood.
With Hebei, the Central Plains, and Guanzhong, within ten years, the army will inevitably be strong.
At that time, the king of Wei sent a general to attack Xiangyang and invited Sun Quan to attack Jiangling.
The king of Wei led an army to attack Hanzhong, and after holding each other for a year, Liu Bei was bound to be defeated.
Liu Adou has the ability to turn the sky upside down, and there is nothing he can do. (Adapted from the idea given to Cao Pi by Jia Xu in history)
Jia Xu's idea is very simple -
Consumed.
Cao Cao occupies the Central Plains, Guanzhong, and Hebei, these good places, as long as the farming mode is opened, the grain output will definitely grow rapidly.
When the time comes, a wave of population will explode, and the whole army will pass, and fight with Liu Chan to consume, no matter how great Liu Chan's ability is, there is nothing to be done.
As for the problem of Liu Bei's Northern Expedition, it is also very easy to solve,
Then the Wei army's fortified wall and clear the field tactics were sacrificed, and the people of three hundred miles near several exits of Shu Road were all moved away, and a large number of cavalry were arranged in the plain area.
Liu Beijun dared to come out, and immediately beat them with cavalry, and he would definitely win.
Jia Xu's tactic must be stable.
It's just that most of them don't necessarily get to see that day.
"Wenhe is steady." Cao Cao was noncommittal, and set his eyes on Cheng Yu again.
Cheng Yu, who was dismissed from the position of guard captain because of his bad temper before, lowered his eyebrows and said:
"The minister thinks that when the east and Sun Quan are in the east, and Liu Chan is in the south."
Cheng Yu believes that Xiangyang is in danger of the world and a major disaster in the Central Plains.
In order to prevent Guan Yu from the northern expedition from Xiangyang, the Wei army should send a general to garrison Fancheng and build a barrier, so that Guan Yu would not dare to go north at will.
At the same time, Cao Wei and Dongwu should completely let go of the previous disturbances and cooperate sincerely, so that Dongwu will continue to send troops to harass the hinterland of Jingzhou and affect Jingzhou's grain production.
When Guan Yu is in a hurry, he will definitely attack Xiakou downstream,
At that time, the Wei army also sent troops to support, so that Guan Yu could not take care of everything.
In this way, if you persist for three years, the Wei army will be able to see the dawn of victory.
This suggestion made Cao Cao quite excited.
But everyone present (including Cheng Yu himself) can see that this is just a very idealistic plan.
First of all, it is not realistic to cooperate sincerely with Sun Quan.
With the lessons of this cooperation, Sun Quan will definitely be wary of Cao Jun everywhere in the future, how could he let Cao Jun send him?
After listening to Cheng Yu's opinion, Cao Cao's eyes naturally fell on Liu Ye's face.
Liu Ye served as the marching commander, and he had been by Cao Cao's side to give advice.
His analysis of the Battle of Hanzhong was meticulous, which Cao Cao greatly appreciated.
It was only because of his surname that the suspicious Cao Cao never dared to be completely reassured, especially when fighting against Liu Bei's side.
Everything is guarded against the truth, and it is always unbreakable, so when Cao Cao garrisoned Mobi this time, he made an excuse to let Liu Ye return to Luoyang on business.
At this time, he encountered a problem, and hurriedly transferred him back.
Liu Ye has always felt that Cao Cao is quite important to him.
He had been waiting for a long time, and he didn't treat himself as an outsider at this time, and said eloquently:
"What Zhu Gong told before was the ordinary tactics of fighting Liu Bei Guan Yu before,
That Liu Adou's use of soldiers is very different from his father, Sun Quan has already suffered a big loss, and he tried to decompose with the princes. ”
After saying that, Liu Ye excitedly pulled out the long sword at his waist, so frightened that Xiahoudun quickly pulled out the sword as well.
But Liu Ye was out of sight, and quickly drew on the ground with his sword, and said while drawing:
"Liu Bei made good use of the regular soldiers, held on to the enemy for several months, waited for the opportunity to move, and broke the enemy with one blow."
Xiahoudun's face was full of gloomy clouds, and he said in his heart that this guy actually took the battle of Xiahou Yuan's death as an example, and he really didn't treat Xiahoudun as a person.
"And Liu Chan is different," Liu Ye said excitedly, "Liu Chan uses soldiers to change skillfully, regardless of ancient methods, and always uses soldiers ......"
"That's it!" Xiahou said in a sullen voice, "Hugh wants to praise that Liu Adou, just talk about how to break the enemy!" ”
Liu Ye realized that everyone was looking at him like a monster, and he suddenly broke out in a cold sweat.
He calmed down and said timidly:
"Liu Chan uses soldiers like that, like that, but there is a fatal flaw-
This son has a young heart, greedy to win and does not know how to lose, and whenever there is a three-point chance to win, the whole army will be dispatched without leaving a rear team.
I listened to the detailed reciprocation from the south, saying that this son is greedy and excessive,
During the war with Sun Quan, he was already weak in troops, but he divided his troops into two ways.
Attack Baqiu all the way around, outflank Xiakou all the way, and block Sun Quan's return from the two armies -
But such a use of soldiers, although it is good, has a fatal point! ”
"That's right," before Liu Ye finished speaking, Xu Shu already had a gloomy face, and couldn't wait to say,
"Liu Chan used his soldiers, always eager to eat the enemy in one bite, and his side was light and unprepared, just like Sun Ce back then.
As long as you swing your army and strike hard, you can win a big victory! ”
Xu Shu happened to scratch Liu Ye's itch, and he happily stroked his palm and said:
"That's it!"
"Eastern Wu is not good at attacking cities in the field, and Liu Chan can make dangerous moves.
Our army can besiege Xiangyang with several large armies, don't send an army to go to Xiashui to fight Jiangling, and then invite Sun Quan to attack Lingling and Wuling.
When the time comes, all sides will fight hard, and an army can be deliberately encircled,
Our army took the opportunity to raid where Liu Chan was, and with one blow, it could wipe out the Shu army and divide Jingzhou equally with Sun Quan! ”
Liu Ye's idea was applauded by both Xu Huang and Cao Ren.
Isn't this exactly the way General Cao was surrounded in Fancheng and Yu Ban led the army to counter-encircle Guan Yu?
If it weren't for the sudden flood, Guan Yu would have been the one who lost in the end - Cao Cao absolutely believed this.
Xu Shu deliberately turned his head to Cao Ren, he knew that Cao Cao must be staring at him closely at this moment.
Liu Ziyang's plan is really to the point,
If Cao Cao was determined to use this strategy, or even if he did not completely copy Liu Ye's deployment and desperately attack Jingzhou, the young and vigorous Liu Chan would not be able to withstand Cao's attrition tactics.
After all...... Sun Quan now only has the power to protect himself, and it is too difficult to face Cao Jun independently.
However, he has also followed Cao Cao for many years and knows Cao Cao's temper well.
If Liu Ye gave Cao Cao an idea by himself, Cao Cao would really have the possibility of accepting it.
But Xu Shu and Liu Ye both firmly believe that it is a good plan......
Thinking of this, Xu Shu deliberately clenched his fists.
Adou, that's all my uncle can do.
