However, he said that since the day Cao Cao was defeated, in the next three days, no matter how the Liangzhou army called for a challenge, the Cao army could not hold out.

Li Mu was not in a hurry, and only sent soldiers to garrison the east, south, and west of Cao Ying. To the north of Cao Ying is Lushan, even if the Liangzhou army does not defend, the Cao army will not choose to break through here.

Cao Jun's big camp and the big tent of the Chinese army!

At this time, the entire Cao camp was shrouded in a depressed and oppressive atmosphere. Cao Jun went up to Cao Cao, Cao Ren, Xiahou Yuan, Xi Zhicai, Guo Jia and others, down to ordinary soldiers, and their hearts were all up and down.

"Lord!"

Xi Zhicai looked at Cao Cao with a solemn face, and said in a very helpless deep voice: "The morale of the army is low, and the morale of the army has shown signs of collapse!" And then there's ...... Our army's food and grass can last up to one day, if we don't break through as soon as possible...... At that time, there is no need for the Liangzhou army to send troops, and our army will probably ...... Collapse without a fight! ”

"As you can see, where should our army break through?"

Cao Cao locked his eyebrows, nodded slightly, and then, with his slender eyes, he swept over the people in the tent one by one, and asked in a deep voice.

As soon as Cao Cao's words fell, Cao Ren, Xiahou Yuan and other generals all thought about this countermeasure with a solemn face; Guo Jia's face also showed a rare solemnity!

After a long time, everyone in the tent was still silent!

"The west of our army's camp is Luyang City, and the north is Lushan, these two places are not suitable for the army to break through."

"Although the number of soldiers of the Liangzhou Army in the south of our army's battalion is large, they are mainly infantry, and their pursuit ability is limited. And the Liangzhou Army, which defended the eastern camp of our army, although its number was small, it was all cavalry! ”

"Zhicai thinks that our army should feint to attack the eastern camp of the Liangzhou Army, and when the soldiers of the southern battalion of the Liangzhou Army come out of the camp to help, our army can take the opportunity to break through from the south."

"In order to ensure the safety of the lord, Zhicai thinks that all the generals in the camp should be gathered together, protect the lord together, and organize a breakthrough from the south!"

After a long time, Xi Zhicai, who was already thinking about it, got up and saluted Cao Cao, and then explained his breakthrough plan to Cao Cao one by one.

Cao Cao nodded, and then raised his hand to signal Xi Zhicai to sit down. In Cao Cao's heart, he can't make a decision yet!

"Lord!"

On the one hand, Guo Jia is not to be outdone, on the other hand, he wants to prove himself in front of Cao Cao, he is not unworthy of his name, "Jia's breakthrough strategy is just the opposite of Zhicai!" ”

"Let's listen to it!"

Cao Cao was overjoyed, and immediately asked with a happy smile.

"Lord!"

Guo Jia glanced at the direction of Xi Zhicai, and then, Cheng Zhu said in his chest: "As long as you break through the eastern camp of the Liangzhou Army first, and then cross the Dongping Mountain, our army can reach Yingyin safely." At that time, the reinforcements of Wenruo and Gongda will also come to join forces with the lord! ”

"Feng Xiao's words are wrong!"

Xi Zhicai thought about it for a while, immediately waved his hand, and retorted in a deep voice: "The first line of Dongping Mountain is mostly valley and highland, even if our army can break through the Liangzhou Army camp, the army will not travel for several miles, and it will definitely be caught up by the Liangzhou Army Iron Cavalry!" At that time, where will I have the time and the time...... to organize a counterattack? ”

"The Art of War, 'Put it to death and then live'!"

"At that time, between life and death, the officers and men of the whole army will be able to use one as ten in order to survive. Why is our army afraid of the pursuit of the Liangzhou army? This is similar to the last battle of the Marquis of Huaiyin! ”

"Moreover, it is precisely because of the many valleys and highlands in Dongping Mountain that our army can block the enemy cavalry in sections. If you break through from the south, the land is a thousand miles away, and our army has many infantry, how can we escape from the pursuit of the enemy's cavalry? ”

Guo Jia still insists on his own opinions, and he is determined to do so.

"The Art of War, 'The real is virtual, and the virtual is real'!"

"Our army sacrificed the main force to attack the enemy's eastern camp, but broke through in the southern camp, which was a surprise and unprepared move!"

"As far as Zhicai knows, the enemy army has only one heavy armored cavalry in the southern camp, and its brave and elite ability is indeed unmatched! But...... The endurance and flexibility of the heavy cavalry are slightly insufficient! ”

"At that time, if you can send some soldiers, go and attract the attention of this heavy cavalry. We can naturally take advantage of the chaos to break out of the encirclement! ”

Xi Zhicai also adheres to his own views and argues for reason.

"What Feng Xiao and Zhicai say, each has its own reason!"

Seeing that Guo Jia was about to refute, Cao Cao raised his hand, and then said with a smile: "As for where to break through, I have a certain number in my heart. ”

"Please make it clear!"

Guo Jia paused, and then said loudly.

"A few days ago, Wen Ruo and Gongda sent a letter, which said, 'If the army is trapped in Luyang, you can break through in the direction of Kunyang and Yunxian, and at that time, there will be reinforcements to help'!"

"I never thought about it...... Today's situation has long been expected by Wen Ruo and Gongda! It seems that our army only broke through from the south! ”

Cao Cao looked at Guo Jia, then at Xi Zhicai, and then said with a smile.

In fact, Xun Yu and Xun Yu did not give Cao Cao advice at all. Because, after the Cao army was surrounded, the scouts sent by Cao Cao had already been captured by the Liangzhou army!

The reason why Cao Cao moved out of Xun Yu and Xun Yu was because Cao Cao wanted to listen to Xi Zhicai's advice, but he didn't want to hit Guo Jia's self-confidence too much!

"Since it is a joint proposal from Wenruo and Gongda, it must be obtained after some careful consideration! That being the case, the army is according to the words of the two gentlemen! ”

Guo Jia sighed to himself a few times, and then said in a calm voice.

"Lord!"

Xi Zhicai seemed to think of something, first paused for a few breaths, and then said in a deep voice with a rather solemn face: "If the army is completely demoralized and demoralized, even if our army has a clear direction to break through, I'm afraid it will ...... It's hard to get out of the predicament! ”

"The morale of the three armed forces can be boosted but not discharged!"

"At present, the reason for the low morale of our army is nothing more than ...... The Liangzhou army defeated our army several times, our army will fail, the army is short of food and grass, and our army is trapped here! ”

"It's really not difficult to boost the morale of the army and boost morale! When the discussion is over, I will gather the soldiers and tell them that the reinforcements from Yanzhou and the food and grass needed by the army are on their way. ”

Cao Cao had already made up his mind in his heart, and when he saw Xi Zhi, he asked, so he said aloud with a calm expression.

Everyone thinks less, and they all nod their heads and say good!

Subsequently, Cao Cao discussed with everyone the details of how to break through, and then ended the discussion.

At the end of the discussion, Cao Cao summoned all the soldiers of the army and told the prepared wording to every soldier present.

In addition, Cao Cao, in front of the whole army, showed the vice general of Kunyang City to the public on the charge of collaborating with the enemy.

As Cao Cao expected, the morale of the whole army has rebounded, and the morale of the army has been lifted!

Seeing the actions of the soldiers, Cao Cao was a little more sure about the breakthrough!
