Chapter 1299: The Situation in the World
The book is picked up again.
"......" After Xiahou Yuan heard Cao Cao's words, he immediately lowered his head, and his face also had a touch of crimson, he also knew that he was indeed stupid, so he didn't dare to argue, so he could only be silent.
"Humph!" Cao Cao stopped talking, snorted coldly and ignored him.
Then, it took a few steps forward, and after finding a big stone and sitting down, it beckoned to Li Zhi and said, "Brother Xingzhi, come, I haven't seen you for many days, and now that I have time, I'll chat here." β
As he spoke, he turned his head to Guo Jia on the side and said, "Fengxiao, bring your wine, and I want to have a drink with my virtuous brother." β
......Although Guo Jia was very reluctant, he didn't dare to disobey Cao Cao's order, so he could only come to Cao Cao reluctantly, and reluctantly took off the wine gourd on his waist and handed it to Cao Cao.
"Hehe......" Looking at the reluctant Guo Jia, Li Zhi chuckled, patted him on the shoulder, and said, "Brother Feng Xiaoxian doesn't have to feel distressed for a mere gourd of wine.
After this battle, take out all the good wine for your brother and let you drink it! β
"That's it!" Guo Jia, who was still full of reluctance, heard Li Zhi's words, and immediately clapped his hands, impatiently gave the matter to a conclusion, and there was no reluctance on his face.
Just kidding, although his gourd wine can be regarded as a fine wine, it is not a top-notch wine.
And all the top wines in the world are in Li Zhi's hands, if you can exchange a gourd of such fine wine for a chance to drink top wine, it will be a lot of money, Guo Jia will not agree to hell!
Cao Cao on the side saw that Guo Jia still regarded wine as his life, rolled his eyes angrily, ignored him, but took two wooden bowls from the hands of the guards on the side, and said to Li Zhi: "Brother Xingzhi, don't care about this drunkard, you and my brothers should hurry up and have a drink." β
With that, he opened the gourd and poured two bowls of wine into the two wooden bowls.
"Hehe......" Li Zhi heard this, and after chuckling, he sat on Cao Cao's side, picked up a bowl of wine and saluted Cao Cao: "Brother Mengde, this battle is a decisive battle, and it is not trivial for Brother Mengde's great cause. β
"!" Although Cao Cao didn't know what the hell the "Buddha" Li Zhi was talking about, it didn't prevent him from understanding the meaning, so he didn't hesitate, and drank the wine in the wooden bowl with a raised neck.
"Refreshing!" Seeing that Cao Cao was so bold, Li Zhi didn't let Cao Cao wait longer, drank all the wine in the bowl, and then measured the bottom of the bowl towards Cao Cao.
"Hahaha......" After the two of them finished drinking a glass, Cao Cao laughed and asked: "Brother Xingzhi, brother Wei has always had a question I want to ask you, why do you dare to hand over the defense of this tiger prison to Zheng'er?" Does he have the ability to be a famous general now? β
This is exactly what Cao Cao has always been puzzled about, it is said that this battle is very important, and Li Zhi could not be negligent.
In that case, why did he hand over the defense of Tiger Prison to Li Zheng?
Isn't he afraid that Li Zheng will suddenly miss out?
Unless Li Zhi has determined that Li Zheng has the ability to become a famous general!
As for the famous generals mentioned by Cao Cao, they are the kind of generals who have gone through countless battles and turned everything they have learned in their chests into reality.
This kind of person's martial arts may not be too high, but his command methods are very clever, and there is generally nothing wrong with him.
There are not too many people under Cao Cao who can be called famous generals, Li Zhi counts one, Guan Yu counts one, and then there are people who are close to famous generals such as Xu Huang and Xiahou brothers.
As for Yan Liangwen Chou, there are also Lu Bu and others......
They can only be regarded as fierce generals who charge into battle, and they are not famous generals at all.
Especially Lu Bu, although on the surface it seems that he has a very good ability to lead troops to fight, but in fact, he relies on personal force to command the army.
He has only one style of play, and that is to rush and rush!
As long as you kill the enemy's generals, you will win!
As for whether you can take out the enemy's main general......
Lu Bu said, I am not weak at all!
No matter who the enemy is, I will be able to kill his generals!
If Lu Bu didn't have that martial art, then any general with not too bad command skills would be able to defeat him!
In Cao Cao's opinion, Li Zheng is a fierce general like Lu Bu, his strange strength, coupled with the big knife on the door panel, is really injured when he knocks it, and he dies if he touches it!
When Li Zheng is on the battlefield, he only needs to remember one word - rush! That will defeat the enemy!
So in Cao Cao's impression, Li Zheng has always been a qualified fierce general rather than a famous general.
Let a fierce general defend the city......
Li Zhi is playing too prodigal, isn't he afraid that the old pass of the rivers and lakes will be gone?
"Hehe......" After Li Zhi heard Cao Cao's words, he chuckled, shook his head and said: "Zheng'er has not become a so-called famous general, he still habitually charges into battle.
If he hadn't stopped him, he might have fought to the death with the enemy.
The reason why Xia still used him when he knew that Zheng'er was not suitable was because he felt that although Liu Biao and Liu Yan's troops were numerous, they were not difficult to deal with, so they were kept for Zheng'er to practice. β
"Practice hands......" After hearing Li Zhi's words, Cao Cao didn't know whether to cry or laugh.
The army led by Liu Biao, one of the Eight Horses of the Tang and Tang Dynasties, and Zongzheng of the Han Dynasty were only assigned to Li Zhi's son to practice, which made the two of them know that they had to cry!
However, at this time, Cao Cao was completely relieved, since Li Zhi still had the leisure to use these people to practice his son, it proved that Li Zhi had absolute certainty in dealing with them.
After thinking of this, Cao Cao secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and then he poured a bowl of wine for the two of them, and saluted: "Come, for the courage of the virtuous brother who sees the enemy as nothing, I will toast you for my brother!" β
"Brother Meng De has won the award" After Li Zhi said modestly, he picked up the wine in front of him and did as he said.
After they put down the wine bowl, Li Zhi asked curiously: "Brother Meng De has not inquired about other states and counties since he left Jizhou, I don't know how the other states and counties are fighting now?" β
"......" After Cao Cao heard Li Zhi's words, his brows furrowed tightly, put down the wine bowl, let out a long sigh, shook his head and smiled bitterly: "The situation is not very optimistic!" β
"Huh?" When Li Zhi heard this, his brows immediately furrowed, and he asked puzzledly, "What's the matter?" According to common sense, our arrangement is completely resistible
The enemy, what happened to the accident? β
"Alas......" After Cao Cao let out another long sigh, he drew a rough map on the ground, pointed in the direction of Yuzhou and Xuzhou, and said, "Yuzhou and Xuzhou are okay to say."
There are Yun Chang and Gongming as generals, and Xun Yu and Xi Zhicai as military advisors, plus Yun Chang and Gongming are stationed in their respective states and counties while helping each other.
Therefore, although Sun Ce's offensive was fierce, it could not help the two of them.
As long as the logistics can keep up, they can stalemate with Sun Ce for several years!
LΓΌ Bu and Jia Xu's army attacked Yanzhou, although they did not achieve many results, but they also succeeded in dragging Zhang Yan, so that Zhang Yan did not dare to move, and could only defend passively. β
After hearing this, Li Zhi nodded thoughtfully and asked, "In other words, it is Youzhou who has the problem?" β
"That's right!" After Cao Cao smiled bitterly, he nodded and said, "The order I gave to Zhang He is to let him do everything he can to drag Gongsun Zhan."
At the beginning, they did a good job, using horse traps, traps, thistles and other things to successfully drag Gongsun Zhan's cavalry.
But because Zhang He only had 50,000 soldiers and horses in his hands and no cavalry, they couldn't catch up with Gongsun Zan at all.
And Gongsun Chan also has a lot of capable people under him, and when they are hindered by ambushes and traps, they immediately understand that our plan is to drag him in Youzhou!
Therefore, they immediately changed their strategy, and instead of confronting our army, they directly used the advantage of speed to bypass our army!
Although Zhang He and others pursued frantically, they couldn't catch up, and could only watch Gongsun Zan frantically harass the border between Jizhou and Jizhou! β
"Gongsun Zhan......" After listening to Cao Cao's words, Li Zhi lowered his head and fell into deep thought.
He really doesn't have a good way to deal with Gongsun Zan now, because Cao Cao doesn't have many cavalry under his command!
The most elite cavalry is the 30,000 iron cavalry in his own hands!
And these 30,000 iron horsemen still need to stay here to deal with Liu Biao and the others, and there is no way to leave at all.
In other words, if Gongsun Chan really breaks through the defenses of Jizhou and Bingzhou, then he will be able to play Huan'er in these two states, and no one can deal with him!
Suddenly, Li Zhi felt that something was wrong, since Gongsun Zan was about to break through the defenses of these two states, why did Cao Cao dare to come out with this 100,000 army?
Thinking of this, Li Zhi immediately turned his head to Cao Cao and asked, "Brother Meng De, since Gongsun Zhan's offensive is so fierce, why do you dare to come out with the army?" Aren't you afraid that Gongsun Chan will take advantage of the situation to take Jizhou! β
"Hehe......" After Cao Cao heard this, he smiled proudly, pointed in the direction where Yanzhou was located, and said, "This is thanks to Lu Bu!"
After he learned about this, he did not hesitate to let Zhang Liao under his command come to support with an army of 20,000.
With 20,000 troops, plus the 50,000 troops led by Zhang He, they were finally able to block the border between Bingzhou and Jingzhou, so that Gongsun Zhan could only shout outside the city but could not attack it!
After all, most of the people led by Gongsun Chan were cavalry and were not good at siege warfare.
As long as Zhang He and Zhang Liao use the border city as a barrier, they will definitely be able to drag Gongsun Zhan with layers of resistance, so that the brother can rest assured that he can take the army to the battle! β
