Chapter 191: A New Round of Tactical Arrangements
Aliya's death made Liu Xie's heart inexplicably heavier, and he didn't know what he should do next, whether to fulfill her last wish, or how.
While he was lying in the room stunned, Cao Cao suddenly came.
Liu Xie knew that he must have heard about the prison incident, and when he agreed with Aliya's idea yesterday, he was already suspicious, and he must find a chance to talk to him.
"Your Majesty."
When Cao Cao entered the door, he arranged Xu Chu at the door, Liu Xie sat up, and also drove Liu Jin out, and when there were only the two of them left in the house, Cao Cao took a sip of tea and tilted his head to look at him, as if he was a stranger to him.
"Lord Sikong, what are you looking at?"
Cao Cao smiled, there was no smile on his face, but with a laughing voice, it was very weird: "Your Majesty, the minister has to take a good look at you, the minister almost feels that he can't recognize His Majesty." ”
"Oh?"
Liu Xie's heart sank, and he became cautious: "Where does Lord Sikong say, I am still me." ”
"But the minister knows Your Majesty, he is a filial person, and he respects the rules of his ancestors the most, but what His Majesty said yesterday is contrary to the teachings of the saints."
"Sikong is talking about Aria's proposal, right?"
Cao Cao bowed his head, very serious, gently stroked his long beard, and his eyes flashed: "Your Majesty, men are inferior to women, it is the words of a saint, you know, but you said yesterday that you agreed with that woman's idea, and you want to give her such power, I don't understand, what are you thinking." ”
"Lord Sikong, in fact, this is also what you said, to raze and raze." Liu Xie calculated that he would be like this, so he had already prepared a response.
"Opening up the equality between men and women in Kushan, I think it is conducive to the rule of the Han Dynasty over them."
Cao Cao disagreed: "The minister doesn't see it that way, as the woman said, it is also their tradition that men are superior to women, and Your Majesty denies its tradition, will the people still support the Han?" ”
"Whether you support it or not, I don't know, but if that's the case, the women of Guishan have the right to choose, they will take the initiative to confront those men, and once this order is announced, I believe it will get a response from many people, and then there will be riots in all cities, don't we just take the opportunity to take advantage of it?"
Of course, these are not his sincere words, but for the sake of safety, he has to say so!
And the reality is indeed as he thought, after he finished speaking, Cao Cao did not directly object, but fell into a short silence.
After about a few dozen breaths, Cao Cao suddenly smiled, and his eyes became kind: "It turns out that Your Majesty thinks so, not bad, not bad!" ”
"So Lord Sikong supports my idea?" Liu Xie asked deliberately.
Cao Cao's reaction was expected, and he refused: "Although Your Majesty's idea is good, this strategy does not work, and there is a drawback. ”
"What is it?"
"The order is very easy to issue, Your Majesty is right, when the time comes, in the cities, women will definitely try their best to cater to the Han for their own power, and the main army in the cities is not there, so they have a great chance of success, be optimistic, and there may even be a situation of surrender in Kaicheng."
Speaking of this, Cao Cao paused for a moment, and then the words turned sharply: "In this way, although the Han may win the war faster, what should I do after winning?" This kind of policy order must not be sustained, otherwise it will have an impact on the country, so His Majesty will have to change it at that time, but at that time, with the change of the policy order, will those women make trouble again, so that the Han army will repeat the mistakes of the past, this possibility exists, so this policy order cannot be used. ”
Cao Cao's tone was very resolute, and of course Liu Xie didn't intend to insist, he just wanted to find a reason to dispel Cao Cao's suspicions about himself.
This matter can only be regarded as a small episode, Cao Cao did not repeat it after he finished speaking, but introduced his next plan to him, he had already sent a note to the army, began to control the three water sources, and arranged to cut off the flow of water at the appropriate time.
In this way, there will be a problem with the drinking water of the Kushan capital, and Vesudeva will send someone to investigate at that time, and he will find that the city of Emmett has been captured, and for the safety of the capital, he will definitely organize his generals to attack, and in this way, the strength of the capital will be emptied.
And at that time, it was the best time for the Han army to attack the city!
Cao Cao's strategy made Liu Xie nod again and again, and he had to admit that his strategy and tactics were both wonderful and proper, and there was no better plan than this at the moment.
Then, Cao Cao put forward the idea of destroying his war elephant breeding ground along the water source: "Your Majesty, through interrogation, the minister already knows that the war elephant breeding in Kushan is divided into two systems, each lord has his own farm, and Vesudeva also has a breeding system that only obeys his command, in order to ensure the stability of the country, strengthen, and also monitor the military strength of the lords, his royal war elephant breeding farms are all over the country. ”
"However, there are only three closest to the capital, and that is the main composition of the Vesudeva War Elephant Guards."
"One of them, less than twenty miles away from here, intends to destroy this place first, and then divide the troops into two routes, one way to Yuan Rang and Gongming, asking them to defend the city of Emmet, and wait for the army of Vesudeva, and the other way, we will take us, quietly bypassing the war elephant breeding ground, close to its capital, and waiting for an opportunity to move."
"Okay."
In this regard, what Liu Xie can do is to take it all right, and at the same time learn from him, refine the essence of his tactical strategy, and fill his brain.
The premise of teaching apprentices to starve their masters to death is not that apprentices must study hard first?
In the afternoon, Liu Xie and Cao Cao led a part of the army to move closer to the war elephant breeding ground, marched quickly, and arrived in a blink of an eye for thirty miles.
Roar!
In the distance, they could already hear the cry of the elephant, Cao Cao squinted his eyes, and looked at the foot of the mountain without smiling: "Wen Qian, Zihe, do you see, their elephant is there, wait a while when it gets dark, you will lead the army to attack again, remember, don't let go of a living mouth, as for these elephants......" Cao Cao said, looking back at Kilan: "Do you know how to envoy elephants?" ”
Kieran nodded: "Understand." ”
"Well, after this battle, you will be in command of how many war elephants you have captured."
"Xie Da Sikong!"
When Kiran heard the news, he was extremely excited, you must know that in the Kushan Kingdom, those who are qualified to use the War Elephant Legion must at least be officials above the general level, including not everyone among the lords is qualified to have war elephants.
For him, this is undoubtedly the greatest recognition and honor.
However, unlike his excitement, Liu Xie was full of doubts about Cao Cao's words, it is said that the war elephant is an extremely powerful weapon, and Cao Cao will not let it go easily, according to his character, although he will definitely divide some and hand them over to Kieran, in order to show the reward rate, trust, and achieve the purpose of wooing.
He shouldn't have given everything to him, although Cao Cao was suspicious and the most suspicious, how could he directly release such great power and strength to a general who had just taken refuge?
This bad old man is very bad, I'm afraid there is some secret in this!
Thinking of this, Liu Xie's heart suddenly became heavy, and he even began to worry about Kieran......
