Chapter 275: Cao Cao is depressed

In the area of Jiangxia County, the winter rain continues.

But in the area of Xinye, the weather is sunny. It's as if God really protected the Guan family. When the news reached Xinye, Xinye was quite excited.

But then came suspicion.

Like Lu Su and Zhou Yu's suspicions, they were suspicious of Cao Cao's next move.

But there are many generals in Shinno, and few wise men. Including Yin Guan, they were very at a loss about Cao Jun's next move.

The only thing Xinye relies on is the solidity of Xinye City, abundant materials, the Guan family is popular, and there are generals such as Zhang Fei, Gan Ning, Wei Yan, and Chen Zhi.

Sitting in the Xiongcheng and waiting for Cao Cao to make a move. The advantage is that the turtle shell is hard enough, and the disadvantage is that it can only be used for passive defense. Even if it was the battle of Anlu, Xinye could only watch Zhuge Liang and his scholars resist.

The weather was sunny and sunny on this day, as if it was a smiling face, which made the whole Xinye people feel very good. Guan Yu took Zhou Cang and some of his own soldiers to the north city gate, and watched the Cao army camp in the Great North with Zhang Fei and Zhang Laosan.

"Hey, hey, hey. Second brother. I see that your father and son are destined by heaven. It's raining in this summer, and the sunny weather in the new field makes me sweat. Hey. God bless you for sure. Zhang Laosan crossed his hands on his hips and smiled brightly.

Guan Yu glared at the stupid and cute third child, and scolded: "Don't talk nonsense." ”

Now that the Mandate of Heaven is still the Liu family, how can you talk nonsense?

Although Guan Ping had a conversation with Guan Yu in private, saying that the Guan family had a royal opportunity, Guan Yu was still in awe of the Liu family.

There is no intention of replacing it yet.

But Zhang Laosan is different, this cute thing is a tendon to go to the black, he used to support the eldest brother, and now he supports the second brother, the position of the emperor and the old man takes turns, why can't he sit still?

Cao's army marched south and stormed Jiangxia. After a rain, the military revolution dissipated, and Jiangxia was saved.

What is this not destiny?

Zhang Laosan was glared at by Guan Yu, but he was not discouraged, he was still happy.

After Guan Yu restrained Zhang Laosan's demon, he looked at the north and thought. "How will Cao Cao decide? I hope he can fight me under Xinye Castle. ”

Guan Yu sits in Xinye and is very confident.

also hopes that Cao Cao can attack his strengths with his own shortcomings.

Instead of looking for his weaknesses everywhere, such as attacking Jiangxia first.

But Guan Yu also knew that Cao Cao was probably not that stupid. So Guan Yu was a little anxious and couldn't sit down in the mansion of the Marquis of Hanshou, so he came to the north gate outside the city gate to watch the Cao army camp.

...........

In the Cao army barracks, the camps are layered on top of each other, and the soldiers are patrolling or standing guard, waving flags and waving their flags, and the atmosphere is calm.

General Xu Chu led a team of men and horses to patrol the Chinese army, and the first soldiers lined up in two columns and walked outside the Chinese army's tent. The guards outside the big tent hurriedly lowered their heads to show respect.

Soon after, Cao Cao walked out of the big tent. The soldier outside the tent hurriedly lowered his head and said, "Prime Minister." ”

These are all people close to Cao Cao, and if something happens, they still need to rely on them to fight hard. Therefore, Cao Cao smiled and nodded at them, then glanced at the sun in the sky, and then turned back to the big tent.

After returning to the big tent, Cao Cao's face became a little depressed, and he sighed in his heart.

"God helps Zhuge Liang, God helps Guan Yu, don't help me."

The news came from the front, and he saw that Zhuge Liang was about to lose his ability to defend An Lu. His plan was about to succeed, and it ended up raining in winter, and it continued.

Xu Huang and Yu Ban also paid a lot of price but got nothing, and Cao Cao was naturally depressed.

Of course, Cao Cao was just depressed for a moment, and then tried his best to think about how to break the situation. It is impossible to attack Xinye, and it is impossible to retreat troops.

The 200,000 horse infantry army went south and only fought the battle of Jiangxia, but they had to retreat and return?

How can you be willing?

Cao Cao thought about it for a while, took out another map of Jingzhou, looked left and right, first looked at Jiangxia, shook his head, and then looked at Fang Ling, and also shook his head.

If you want to fight the Guan family, you must not fight Xinye, you can only fight Jiangxia, or Fangling. Jiang Xia can't fight at the moment. Fangling needs to have a water army.

Cao Cao did not have warships.

As for the army of Commander Li Zheng stationed on the north bank of the Han River. Cao Cao knew that if his army went, the gang would immediately leave, and it would just be a matter of mobilizing the people.

It doesn't make sense.

"I am rampant in the world, but I am blocked by the rivers and lakes." Cao Cao couldn't help but sigh when he saw the Han River flowing between Xiangyang and Fancheng, as well as the Yangtze River further south.

In the end, Cao Cao set his eyes on Fancheng. Since the Guan family has no flaws, they can only arrive in Jingzhou first.

Lu Su could think that it was not Fancheng that was strong, but the hearts of the people.

Can Cao Cao think of it?

The reason why the general Wen Ping was able to stop Guan Yu was because Guan Yu had few soldiers and was not as famous as Cao Cao.

And now Cao Jun has 200,000 horses, and 100,000 are divided to storm Fancheng, how can Wen Ping insist on it? Cao Cao was rampant in the world, officials worshiped the prime minister, and he was terrifying from far and near.

Can the human heart keep the call?

The reason why Cao Cao attacked Jiangxia instead of Fancheng before was because Jiangxia was very weak and weak. The second is that Jiangxia is Guan Yu's sphere of influence.

Zhuge Liang set up a partial division in Jiangxia Tun, which is really threatening.

Cao Cao understood that this time he went south, not to fight Liu Cong, or Cai Mao, Zhang Yun, but to fight Guan Yu.

Guan Yu is broken, and Jingzhou is attached.

On the contrary, when he attacked Jingzhou, Guan Yu was still not convinced.

This account needs to be settled.

No matter who thinks of it, whether it is Guan Yu, or Zhou Yu, or Cao Cao, the Liu family in Jingzhou is just a man for swords, and I am just a fish and meat.

Cao Cao thought for a moment and said to the soldiers outside the door: "Order the master to summon the ministers, and the generals will come to the big tent to gather." ”

"No." The soldier said yes, and went down.

Not long after, Xun You, Cheng Yu, Jia Xu and a series of dozens of advisers, as well as dozens of generals, came to the big tent one by one.

There were hundreds of them.

All at once the wide tent was filled with people.

The so-called civil and military officials.

At this moment, Cao Cao sat on the throne in the north, and the civil and military sat on both sides, called the prime minister, but in fact, there was no difference from the Son of Heaven.

After everyone arrived, Cao Cao said: "I want to go south to attack Fancheng, and if Fancheng is broken, then Xiangyang will be served." What do you think? ”

When the military generals heard this, they exchanged their heads and whispered. After a while, Prime Minister Cao Cao walked in the mansion, and Liu Ye, who joined the army, arched his hand and said, "Prime Minister." Fancheng is easy to attack. However, Guan Yu is in Xinye, and there are cavalry. If our army besieges Fancheng and can't take it for a while, what should Guan Yu do if he sends cavalry to harass the grain route? ”

"If Guan Yu attacks the grain road. I should lead the tiger and leopard cavalry to meet the battle, and I will destroy the Guan Yu cavalry. General Cao Chun immediately said.

Cao Chun is handsome, looks like a scholar, and is not known for his bravery, but he is very good at commanding soldiers and horses. The tiger and leopard under his command ride, the world's strong army.

In fact, Cao Cao also wished that Guan Yu would come out of Xinye, and then the two sides would fight. Guaranteed win.

"If you attack Fancheng, of course, you can go down to Xiangyang and Nanjun. But the Yangtze River has Sun Wu. Zhou Yu is currently stationed in Exian County, and it is ill-intentioned to sit back and watch Zhuge Liang being attacked by our army and not saving him. If Xiangyang dies, Liu dies. Jingzhou will be chaotic, and the four counties of Jingnan are afraid that they will be attacked by Zhou Yu. Jiangxia Huang Zu, Wang Wei, I'm afraid that people's hearts will fluctuate. If Sun Wu has the Yangtze River, it will be a disaster. ”

Liu Ye said again, and then arched his hand, and said: "Even if there is Xiangyang, Nanjun, and Jingzhou, I'm afraid the people of Jingzhou will not be convinced." And Guan Yu is in Xinye, Jiangxia has Ding Feng, Fangling has Liaohua, and the naval army is attacking the people of the county, how to stop it? At that time, I am afraid that Jingzhou will be broken and may not be able to hold it. ”

The so-called wise man sees the same thing.

Liu Ye is also a wise man in the world, and he has the same thoughts as Lu Su and Zhou Yu. At present, he is attacking Jingzhou, and I am afraid that Cao Cao may not be able to defend it.

The rivers are flooding, the water system is developed, the iron cavalry in the north, the soldiers of war, how can they defend?

What Ziyang said is very reasonable, but if the prime minister does not take Jingzhou, he will return to the north. Jingzhou will inevitably be seized by Guan Yu and Sun Quan. The result is still the same. On the contrary, if Jingzhou is taken now, even if it cannot be defended, it will be beneficial to me to make Jingzhou broken and the characters dead and injured. ”

Cheng Yu came out and said.

Cheng Yu is a brave person, very strong, and does not care about reputation, when the Cao army was short of food, he plundered the county seat, and made cakes with human flesh as military food.

And now it's even more blunt.

To put it simply, it's chicken and egg beating.

I can't get it, and I can't let Guan Yu get it.

Jingzhou must fight, like the north, it is best to have no rooster crow for thousands of miles. I can't get it, and Guan Yu can't think about it.

This is still in case you can't hold it, but what if you can hold it?

Cao Jun had so many soldiers and horses, and sent generals to guard the city. Many people in Jingzhou do not accept Cao Cao, but many people also obey Cao Cao.

Let's try.

Cheng Yu said it so bluntly and so sharply, others didn't dare to say it, but they didn't say it explicitly, and many strategists agreed with Cheng Yu.

Cao Cao had actually made a decision, and he summoned Wenwu to see him at this moment, just to give an official order. Hearing Cheng Yu's words, he took the opportunity to say: "Zhongde's words are very much in line with my wishes." I led my own army, and 50,000 cavalry were stationed in the east of Xinye City to maintain the grain route and retreat. Ordered Xu Huang, Zhang He is still in Anlu, and if the sky is clear, he will attack Anlu. ”

"Zixiao, Miaocai, Wen Ze, the three of you led a hundred thousand infantry troops to besiege Fancheng from the north, east, and west. Tomorrow we will set out, and within three days, we must break the city. ”

Cao Cao raised his head again and said to Cao Ren, Xiahou Yuan, and Yu Ban.

"No."

The three generals got up and promised.

After Wenwu went down, Cao Cao patted his knees and stood up, and then sent someone to call the master book, and the master book also went down with everyone, and Cao Cao summoned him with a puzzled face.

After the main book entered the big tent, Cao Cao said to the main book: "What Liu Ziyang said is very true, give 100 silk cloths. ”

"No." Only then did the master book understand that he had promised to go down.

Although Cao Cao agreed with Cheng Yu's attack, he also knew that what Liu Ye said was also right. For the sake of the superior, you can't fail to appreciate it.

said that after Liu Ye dispersed with Wenwu, he was somewhat depressed, but he was relieved for a while when he heard that the master book brought Cao Cao's reward.

Cao Cao's strategy is established.

Early the next morning, the army began to move. Cao Ren, Xiahou Yuan, and Yu Ban supervised the soldiers and horses and went to Fancheng. Cao Cao's own infantry army, a large number of cavalry, including tiger and leopard cavalry, monitored Guan Yu and protected his own grain routes.

And Cao Cao is also looking forward to it, Guan Yu can send Zhao Yun to lead the cavalry out, and when the time comes, there will be a battle, and the tiger and leopard will protect Zhao Yun and lose his armor.
