Chapter 392: No last resort

After reading the letterhead one by one, there was some surprise and incredibleness on their faces.

This letter is a battle report submitted by the scouts sent by Xiahou Nan after he ambushed Guan Ping's subordinates.

After a while, Sima Yi showed a happy look on his face, and said loudly: "The minister remembers that since the defeat of General Xiahou in the first battle of Bishui last year, he has been angry and strong, immersed in the army all day long, eating and living with the sergeants, and also asking the generals for advice on the method of using the army at any time, and the minister is also very surprised that he has grown so fast. ”

After all, who is Guan Ping, according to the information they have obtained, in such a crisis situation, he relied on the strength of a partial division to defend the empty Jiangling for a long time without losing and launched a counterattack in the final stage, and cooperated with the main force to break the Wu army, resulting in Sun Quan having no choice but to cut the land and sue for peace.

Such a figure with great military achievements and also captured Xiahou Nan, and it was reversed in such a short time?

Hearing this, Cao Cao stroked his white beard again, and said with a smile: "Zilin's ability to use troops has improved so quickly, it is really gratifying, if he continues to train in the army for several years, wouldn't he lick another general under his lonely command?" ”

"If Yuan Rang knows about this matter, it will definitely sweep away his gloom."

Because Xiahoudun was captured because there was a traitor in the army in his early years, he lost face, and this matter has become his heart disease since then, and his son was also defeated and captured in the battle of Bishui last year.

Under the double blow, he was even more annoyed.

Now I see Xiahou Nan calculating the battle report of the Shu army, which is dominated by the Shu general Guan Ping. He raised his eyebrows, and Cao Cao also said softly with joy on his face.

Saying this, Cao Cao glanced to the side, looked at Jia Xu, who was still very quiet, with a guide to the eyes, and smiled lightly: "Wenhe, according to the battle report sent back by Zhang'er, he has led Hu Kou to raise troops to the border pass, how do you think our army should ambush Hu Ren next?" ”

Hearing this, Jia Xu no longer closed his eyes to recuperate, but immediately opened his eyes, his face was calm as if he had been prepared, and said in an unhurried tone: "If Kebi can come here, he will definitely take the soldiers of various tribes as the vanguard and have been sacrificed, if he is really ambushed by our army, he will definitely abandon these soldiers." ”

"What do you mean by that?"

As soon as the words fell, Sima Yirao on the side was very resourceful, but when he heard that Kebineng would use various tribes as shields, he still couldn't help but be shocked, so he couldn't help but wonder: "With the treacherous and ferocious nature of the Hu people, not to mention that Kebineng is still an outstanding Xianbei Khan in this world, it is not surprising that he has such a motive." ”

"But does he really have the courage to use the sergeants of all the tribes as a shield for the elite of his own command? It must be known that a few years ago, he suffered the defeat of Macheng and was broken by the second prince, which has shaken his prestige in the royal court, and this time, as the second prince led the people out to plunder the various departments, he has not gathered troops to encircle and suppress our army. ”

"If he uses the elites of his royal court headquarters to cover the various tribes this time, once this matter is revealed, the Xianbei royal court will inevitably be unstable and will suffer turmoil, and his position as Khan will definitely be shaky."

For a while, Sima Yi hesitated slightly, and then said slowly.

The words fell.

Although he was questioned, Jia Xu did not have the slightest emotion, smiled, and then his face changed suddenly, and his face suddenly revealed a trace of coldness, and said, "Why not? ”

"For such an outstanding son of heaven in the grassland, we can't look at it with common sense, using the tribes as bait has three major benefits for him, and he will definitely do so."

"First, we can take advantage of the hatred of various tribes against our army, so that they can tightly consume the strength of our army, so that he can sit back and reap the benefits."

"Second, if Hu Kou is ambushed, it will inevitably be a mess, if at this time, Kebi can secretly hunt the tribal patriarchs with cold arrows in the chaotic army, etc., and die afterwards without proof, and the strength of the tribes is also greatly damaged in the confrontation of our army, then wouldn't he be able to easily and completely recover the tribes and integrate the grasslands more favorably?"

Speaking of this, Jia Xu's smile became more and more gloomy, and he explained again: "Of course, the most important point, if he fights our army head-on with all his tribes, but he suddenly leads an elite army to bypass the Great Wall, cross the Yanshan Mountain Range, and the Xifengkou area to abuse the Youyan counties, and our army will be under the enemy's back, won't it fall into a dangerous place?" ”

After some analysis, the situation on the battlefield at this moment Jia Xu said that it was so dangerous, but he still had a calm expression.

Seeing this scene, how could Cao Cao not understand his habits, this person has always been more calm, it means that he has a perfect strategy, so he did not panic at all when he heard about the general crisis, and asked: "Then since this strategy is set by the text and you, I don't know if you have a solution?" ”

"King Wei."

Hearing this, Jia Xu bowed his hand, and then said coldly: "According to Xu's opinion, our army might as well be planned, and continue to garrison various important towns and passes along the Great Wall with an army to resist the soldiers of various tribes, but the main force turned to Yanshan and set up ambushes around it. ”

"The grassland tribes have now faintly begun to disobey the constraints of Kebineng, if the elite under their command loses heavy losses this time, and our army also hyped up the fact that Kebi can use the tribes as a shield after the war, the forces of the royal court will fall apart and make a mess, and I am afraid that Kebineng will have no time to aim at the Central Plains in a few years."

"And General Lu has reached an agreement with Budugen with success, if the territory under Kebineng's jurisdiction really suffers a great change, he will definitely not have this God-given opportunity, and will definitely take advantage of the fire to rob."

Speaking of this, Jia Xu's face turned gloomy to joy, and he showed a rare smile, and arched his hand: "When the King of Wei solves the scourge of the northern Xinjiang, he can then reorganize his army and war, and see the opportunity to lead the army to the south of the Yangtze River in a big way, and in one fell swoop to level the small country of Wu and Shu, and the recovery of the world will be just around the corner!" ”

With a sprinkled speech, Jia Xu also showed a long-lost smile, and drew a grand blueprint for Cao Cao to guide the country.

As soon as he heard this, Cao Cao suddenly felt the long-lost blood boiling in his chest.

He hadn't felt this way in a long time.

Since going down to the south of the Yangtze River several times without success, and not destroying any side of Wu Shu, last year instead suffered countless rebellions and two unforgettable defeats, Cao Cao has long since lost his ambition to unify the country.

But at this time, Jia Xu's words not only made him regain his confidence, but also regained his ambition again.

Having said that, Cheng Yu, the old minister on the side, heard this, but there was a trace of worry on his face, and he hesitated for a while but couldn't help but say: "Wenhe, is your strategy too risky?" ”

"If Kebineng does not attack the hinterland of Youyan from the Yanshan Mountains as he wishes, but instead gathers troops to storm the Great Wall here in Daijun, if the main force of our army leaves, wouldn't the northern defense line be dangerous?"

This worry is not unreasonable, but Jia Xu heard that there was not the slightest wave behind him, and he still had a calm face, and responded calmly after a while: "Brother Zhongde, think about it from your side, if you are Kebineng, and you have already vaguely understood that the enemy is targeting you, will you obediently drill into the ambush circle?" ”

"But how to arrange it should be based on the order of King Wei."

In a word!

Jia Xu then stopped speaking, and continued to restore Gujing's expression as before.

This is his habit, he only gives advice but does not give advice, and the choice is always on the monarch, how to choose, even if he miscalculates, is not his own responsibility.

The so-called planner seeks himself first.

Now it seems that Jia Xu is the highest level among strategists.

Do not form a party for personal gain, do not set up party members, and do not form a party with the ministers of the DPRK and the central government for personal gain, but a clear stream!

After a plan fell, Cao Cao, who was above the head of the case at this time, couldn't help but calm down, his face was hesitant and hesitant, and he thought about whether to use the main force around the Yanshan Mountain Range to hunt here.

But he did have a worry that if the defenses along the Great Wall were breached, the situation in the northern frontier would be broken, and the situation would suddenly drop.

Merely.

When he saw Jia Xu's face still unchanged, still unwavering, and his confident expression, Cao Cao couldn't help but think of every strategy Jia Xu had made, almost all of which were not out of order.

After thinking about it, Cao Cao was entangled for a while, and finally made a decision to adopt the decision of hunting Yanshan.

As for the Great Wall of Daijun, Cao Cao took Cao Hong as his general and Cao Xiu as his army, and the leading division was still stuck here, but he still erected a banner to the outside world, making his own main force to wait for the strategy of confusing the Hu people.

Why the combination of Cao Xiu and Cao Hong?

This also comes from the tacit understanding between the two in the previous debate.

On the eve of the Hanzhong War, Liu Bei sent Zhang Fei, Ma Chao, Wu Lan, Lei Tong and other generals to send troops to Wudu to threaten Guanzhong from the flank, which had relieved the pressure on the army to attack Hanzhong.

In this battle, Cao Cao took Cao Hong as the general and Cao Xiu as the army, and under the command of Cao Xiu, Wulan was defeated by a surprise attack in the Battle of Wudu, and Zhang Fei and Ma Chao finally had to lead the people to retreat because they were unable to support alone.

The danger of Wudu was thus lifted.

This is also Cao Cao's emphasis on the potential of the two to cooperate, so this time he entrusted Cao Hong, who has always been slightly lacking in military affairs, with a heavy responsibility.

……

Late at night.

Cao Cao, wearing a red cloak and a military uniform of golden helmet and golden armor, warned Cao Hong earnestly before leaving: "Zilian, the line along the Daijun Zhuhai is related to the safety of our army's northern Xinjiang, but you are slightly lacking in military affairs, remember that if you encounter a major military situation, you must discuss with Wen Lie before making a decision." ”

After speaking, he looked at Cao Xiu on the side and said solemnly: "Wen Lie, such a heavy task is entrusted to you to wait, and I hope you can assist Zilian to protect the defense of the northern frontier." ”

"No, I will live up to the trust of King Wei!"

For a while, the two also solemnly agreed.
