Chapter 390: Forming an Alliance (Page 1/1)

In Yanzhou, Xi Zhicai, who was "recovering from a serious illness", was lying on the bed, staring at the map of the Kansai region on the opposite wall, frowning and thinking deeply.

Suddenly, there was a sound of welcome from outside the house, and Cao Cao walked in with Xun Yu and Cheng Yu.

Looking at Xi Zhicai, who was deep in thought and didn't notice their arrival, Cao Cao sat on the edge of the bed, sighed lightly and said, "Zhicai, you need to rest when you are recovering from a serious illness, why are you starting to work again?" ”

Xi Zhicai came back to his senses at this time, and when he saw Cao Cao beside him with a concerned face, he hurriedly said, "Meet the lord!" ”

"Excuse me." Seeing that Xi Zhicai was about to get out of bed and salute, Cao Cao hurriedly held it down and said softly.

"The lord doesn't need to worry, Zhong's body has almost been cultivated, and he is not so weak."

Xi Zhicai's heart was inexplicably moved, he knew very well what Cao Cao had paid for his survival, so he was unwilling to waste a trace of time, and he didn't want to waste his lord's contribution.

Seeing that Xi Zhicai was slightly ruddy, not as pale as before, and full of neutrality in his words, Cao Cao smiled. The advisor he relied on the most was restored, and it was all worth it.

Xun Yu, who was behind him, saw this, and a trace of relief and peace of mind flashed in his eyes. Cao Cao paid a lot, but he violated his own insistence, in some ways his sacrifice was greater than Cao Cao, but seeing that his friend for many years survived, he was relieved.

"Lord, is Yuan Shu already ready to make a move on Chang'an?" Xi Zhicai asked.

Cao Cao nodded: "The war in the north has ended, and it is approaching winter at this time, so Yuan Shu naturally can't wait." ”

"It is not advisable to move troops in the cold winter, but Yuan Highway has a good calculation." Xi Zhicai sighed lightly.

Yuan Shu didn't need to use troops to take Chang'an, because Li Dao Guo Yan was planning to surrender to him, so he could just send troops to garrison it. Therefore, sending troops in winter has no impact on Yuan Shu, but it is very unfavorable for Cao Cao, who wants to capture Tongguan and take Chang'an.

"Now that the war in Youzhou has been decided, Yuan Shu and we can vacate it, but this day is really unfavorable to us. However, the situation is urgent, and I can't take care of this now. If Yuan Shu is allowed to gain a firm foothold in Chang'an, the situation will really be irreparable. The index finger and thumb of Xi Zhicai's right hand rubbed lightly unconsciously, and he frowned.

"Hmm. Wen Ruo and Zhong De also said the same thing, even if the situation is unfavorable, we will fight this battle. Cao Cao said firmly.

Cao Cao's heart was extremely tenacious, and even though Yuan Shu was so powerful now, he still did not lose heart in the slightest. On the contrary, he who had just won Xuzhou was ambitious at this time, and even if the situation was unfavorable, he had hope of turning the tables.

"But now that Hangu Pass is in Liu Bei's hands, and Tongguan, which is the barrier of Chang'an, is garrisoned by Xu Rong, how easy it is for us to snatch Chang'an in Yuan Shu's hands!" Cheng Yu said in a low voice.

Cao Cao's eyes narrowed slightly after hearing Xu Rong's name. This name is so familiar and unfamiliar, he was defeated by this person back then, and in that big defeat, most of his family lost most of his family, and even his closest brothers died because of it. Xu Rong's horror was still fresh in Cao Cao's memory.

"Zhongde, you said it, the situation is not so bad." Xi Zhicai said with a smile: "Liu Bei is a person who understands the general situation, he will definitely not fight with us at this time, after all, Yuan Shu is our common enemy at this time." Therefore, there is no need to care about the problem of Hangu Pass at all, and the lord can write a letter of resignation. ”

"And Tongguan, although Xu Rong said that he was good at guarding, but the open gun is easy to dodge and the dark arrow is difficult to defend, and the Xiliang army is not monolithic now, and the spies under a certain command have contacted some Xiliang generals, although most of them are captains and the like. But with mental arithmetic or unintentional, it shouldn't be a problem to win Tongguan. What's more, isn't there still Liu Bei? This man was ambitious, and he would certainly approve of his lord's approach and send troops to his aid. ”

"Oh?" Hearing Xi Zhicai's words, Cao Cao's eyes lit up: "Do some spies really have such a powerful effect?" ”

At the beginning, Cao Cao asked Xi Zhicai to organize the establishment of an organization to listen to intelligence, which was just a precaution against Yuan Shu's intelligence organization, but he didn't expect such an important role to break out at this time.

The city wall of Tongguan is towering, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and it is not much worse than the Tiger Prison Pass, which has the first pass in the world. How easy is it to take it like a strong attack? Breaking through from within is the best option.

Xi Zhicai was not happy, but nodded a little sadly: "Not bad." A certain spy can play such a role, how terrifying are the spies under Yuan Shu? Lord, this has to be guarded against! ”

When Cao Cao heard this, he was stunned for a moment, and then nodded cautiously.

"When should we send troops?"

Xun Yu said: "When Yuan Shu's army moves, we can send troops, and by the way, contact Liu Bei, Han Sui, Ma Teng and others, this is not just our battle, if they don't want to be broken by Yuan Shu one by one, they have to participate in it." ”

Chang'an can be occupied by anyone, but it must not be Yuan Shu. This is the consensus of all people, and it is also the bottom line.

Only if Yuan Shu moved, Cao Cao would have a legitimate reason to move his troops, without arousing the suspicion and defense of several other princes.

"In addition, the lord also needs to pay attention to His Majesty in Chang'an City..."Speaking of this, Xi Zhicai paused slightly, looked at Xun Yu, who was a little ugly, sighed lightly and did not continue.

Cao Cao glanced at Xun Yu, who was standing silently in place with an ugly face, and felt a little disappointed in his heart.

Wen Ruo, you can't let go of the Han family after all! What do you want me to do to you in the future?

Although the current little emperor is not justified, he is also a symbol of the Han family. The meaning of Xi Zhicai is that if you can't get it, you will kill it, and you will never be soft, and the importance of righteousness cannot be ignored.

In Xi Zhicai's opinion, it was best to send assassins to rob and kill Yuan Shu when he had just entered Chang'an. In this way, when destroying the last symbol of the Han Dynasty, throw the pot to Yuan Shu, killing two birds with one stone.

However, Xun Yu is here, he won't say too much, just said half a sentence to Cao Cao, with Cao Cao's wisdom, he naturally understands.

"Lord, the most important thing now is not our side, but Xiliang. It shouldn't be difficult for us to take Tongguan, but if we want to take Chang'an, we need their help. What I'm most worried about now is that Yuan Shu is making a fuss in Xiliang, if something happens to Xiliang, I'm afraid it won't make much sense for us to take Chang'an. Xi Zhicai said.

"I just took a closer look at the map of the Guanxi region, there are not many roads out of Shu, there are only three suitable for the march of the army, the lord can contact Ma Teng and Han Sui in Xiliang and let them send troops to garrison, so that Yuan Shu's army will be cut off by us, and Chang'an will become a lonely city, let us attack."

Cao Cao nodded: "Ma Teng is irritable, Han Sui is cunning, if you don't remind these two people, I'm afraid you can really be Yuan Shu to make some articles." When Yuan Shu mobilized his troops, I immediately contacted these two people to form an alliance, and everyone fought against Yuan Shu together. ”
