Chapter 90: Who Wins

Liu Ping smiled and whispered to Cao Ang next to him: "Big brother, how do you write?" ”

In fact, at this time, the brothers around who answered were all covered, after all, there was only one winner, and everyone around them was in competition.

Only Liu Ping and Cao Ang don't care about this.

Cao Ang naturally did not defend Liu Ping, and whispered: "If you attack the city, you will naturally attack it with absolutely superior forces."

However, now our Yanzhou army is only twice as strong as the enemy, and the advantage is not obvious, when we first cut off its grain route, and then pile up mountains of earth above the city walls on all sides of the city, and shoot the defenders at the head of the city with arrows, and then the besieging army takes the opportunity to go up, then Pengcheng can be broken. ”

Liu Ping nodded, and what Cao Ang said was that this was one of the conventional and most secure siege methods.

It's just that if you defeat the city like this, you will inevitably suffer heavy losses.

It is said that the defender of the city occupies a great geographical advantage, and even if the casualties are equal, only 20,000 will be left after the 40,000 army captures the city.

You must know that these 40,000 troops are the old capital of the Cao group, and if they capture a county, they will be cut in half, and it is estimated that Cao Cao would rather not have this city.

It is even more impossible for him to fight a war of attrition in a regular manner.

"Big brother, don't you want to lure the defenders out of the city and ambush them in the wild?" Liu Ping said tentatively.

In the final analysis, Liu Ping felt that he was too prodigal now, and he had deviated from the creed of Gou Quan's life in troubled times, so he didn't want this first prize and was ready to give this good thing to Cao Ang.

Let Cao Ang take the lead, and his position will be more stable.

"Draw out of the city? How is that possible? Cao Ang shook his head and said: "In terms of troops, the defenders of Pengcheng are far less than me, and the combat strength of Pengcheng is far inferior to mine, they do not refuse to defend the city, how can they go out of the city to fight a decisive battle with me?" ”

Guan Yu and Zhang Fei are not raw melons and eggs, if it is a field battle, the combat power of the Xuzhou army is far inferior to the Qingzhou soldiers under Cao Cao, I am afraid that the two of them are also very clear about this.

If you go out of the city and fight in the wilderness easily, you will definitely lose.

And it is very easy to hold Pengcheng, isn't it wishful thinking to attract them out like this?

Liu Ping said with a smile: "Whether you can catch a fish or not depends entirely on whether the bait you give is enough or not, and whether it suits the taste of the fish."

As long as they know what they want most, and then give enough temptation, they are not afraid to shut down the two thieves and not leave the city. ”

"Then you say, what does Xuzhou want most?" Cao Ang knew that Liu Ping was not asking for advice from himself, but had an idea.

So he put down his pen and asked in a whispered with interest.

While their younger disciples were answering correctly, Cao Cao and his brothers began to drink again.

However, his brothers were not in the mood to drink at this time, and they were secretly watching their son answer.

This seems to be an ordinary answer, but the person who wrote the question is Cao Cao, so it is not ordinary.

If he answers well, it is very likely to affect his son's life.

So those of them who are Lao Tzu are more nervous than going to the battlefield themselves.

Even if you can't win the first prize, you can't make jokes, otherwise this life will be ruined.

"Of course, what Xuzhou wants most is Dongguan County," Liu Ping whispered: "Xuzhou has two major gateways to Yanzhou, one of which is Dongguan County, and Xuzhou City will face my Yanzhou attack, so how can Liu Bei sit back and relax, and still want to take it back without dreaming?"

If we use Dongguan County as bait, do you think they will take the bait? ”

Although Liu Ping is not a strategist, his advantage lies not only in predicting the trend of history in advance, but also in being familiar with the general character of every prince in the world and the military under his command.

No first-rate strategist could match him in this regard.

In this era, information transmission was extremely slow, and in the era of warlord secession, it prevented the smooth transmission of information.

The reason why those clever strategists understand the general trend of the world mostly relies on word of mouth, which can also explain why there are so many talents in Yingchuan.

It's all about the Baume & Mercier group, you know a news, I know a news, and as soon as you communicate with each other, it becomes the news that everyone knows, and Yingchuan is the place where the information circulates the most.

But Liu Ping doesn't have to share information with everyone, his information is already the most complete.

For example, Liu Bei is by no means as loyal as his reputation, but a thorough hero, whose ambition is no different from Cao Cao's.

Although Zhang Fei seems rude, he writes well and likes to make friends with scribes.

Guan Yu treats the soldiers well, but he is quite arrogant to the scholars.

When these three people get together, they will never let Xuzhou face Yanzhou, and they will definitely do everything possible to recapture the barrier of Dongguan County.

That's why Liu Ping made that judgment.

"There is some truth in what you say," Cao Ang said, "You mean, let me answer this correctly?" ”

Liu Ping said with a smile: "How to answer the eldest brother is his own decision, this is a little bit of the younger brother's personal idea." ”

Cao Ang thought about it, although Liu Ping's idea was a bit whimsical, it was naturally best to be able to lure the Xuzhou army out of Pengcheng County.

"However, what if Dongguan County is used as bait and Xuzhou City directly sends troops?"

"Does Liu Bei dare to send troops in Xuzhou? Don't forget that Yuan Shu hates him to the core, and he also eyes Xuzhou. ”

Previously, Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu's brothers competed, at that time, Yuan Shu not only had Yuzhou, but also Jiangdong region, and his strength was much greater than Yuan Shao's, but at that time, Liu Bei joined Yuan Shao's camp.

Later, Yuan Shu was defeated and always wanted to swallow Xuzhou and restore its former glory.

At this time, the assassin history of Xuzhou was replaced by Liu Bei, and Yuan Shu wanted to take Xuzhou even more, and killed Liu Bei by the way.

Liu Bei's defense against Yuan Shu was no less than that against Cao Cao.

At the same time, in the face of two strong enemies, Liu Bei did not dare to easily move the defenders of Xuzhou City.

What Liu Ping said was deeply imprinted in Cao Ang's mind, and the more Cao Ang thought about it, the more he felt that what Liu Ping said made sense, so he threw away the bamboo piece in his hand and changed it to a new one.

He thought that since Brother Liu Pingxian thought so, he must also write so, and it might be the two of them who answered correctly at the same time.

As for who gets the jade belt, it doesn't matter to the two of them.

If Brother Liu Pingxian cared about that jade belt, he wouldn't have shared that idea with him.

Don't you know, Liu Ping wrote down what Cao Ang said just now and handed it over.

After all the children handed in all the correct answers, Cao Cao led the three brothers Cao Ren and Cao Hong to start judging.

When Xi Zhicai offered advice at that time, all three of them were present, so they all knew the answer.

"Huh? Zhong Quan: This is a whole book of war and strategy? Cao Ren said with a smile.

Xiahou Zhongquan is Xiahou Ba, the second son of Xiahou Yuan, who participated in the battle against Shu many times in the later period, and he was only a fourteen or fifteen-year-old boy at this time.

He had to write four or five pieces of bamboo, and he was quoting scriptures and writing at length.

"Wait for me to see who this is," Cao Hong smiled: "Oh, it's Ziwen, you have drawn all the offensive and defensive maps?" ”

Cao Ziwen is Cao Zhang, and he connected several pieces of bamboo together to draw a picture.
