Chapter 496: Cao Mengde is in a dilemma
Cao army camp, Chinese army big tent!
At this time, the atmosphere in the big tent of Cao Junzhongjun was full of dead silence and solemnity. Since returning to the camp, for about two quarters of an hour, Cao Cao has been pursing the corners of his mouth and not saying a word.
Guo Jia hung his head with shame, and Xi Zhicai and Jia Xu also looked depressed. Cao Ren, Xu Chu, and Le Jin had solemn faces, and they never thought that the Liangzhou Army would have such a strong combat power.
"Ladies and gentlemen......"
After another long time, Cao Cao sighed secretly, and then, looking around at everyone, he muttered, "Now...... Our army was defeated by the Liangzhou army four times, and the morale of the army was already sluggish! There are Li Mu thieves guarding the Tiger Prison Pass, and our army is afraid that it will be ...... It's hard to make a difference. Now...... And how to enter the army...... Do you have any concerns? ”
"Tiger Prison Pass...... This is a rare Xiongguan in the world, and with the rebuilding of the Liangzhou Army, this pass is ...... It's really easy to defend and hard to attack! Our army stormed Tiger Pass...... It is reasonable that it has not made achievements! ”
At this time, Guo Jia was deeply aware of the mood of his own father-in-law, and then he comforted with a face: "Victory and defeat are common things in soldiers!" I hope that the lord will ...... Don't be discouraged! Although our army was defeated by the Liangzhou army four times, it is now ...... There are still 38,000 soldiers who can fight, as long as they can ...... To reinvigorate the morale of the army and stabilize the morale of the whole army, it is necessary to break the Liangzhou army...... It's not impossible! ”
What Cao Cao wanted to ask was...... Should we continue to march the army, or retreat back to Yanzhou, or how to lure the Liangzhou army out of the Tiger Prison Pass and then fight a decisive battle with it. However, Guo Jia didn't make any suggestions, just said a few words of relief.
Cao Cao glanced at Guo Jia, sighed secretly, and then fixed his eyes on the faces of Xi Zhicai and Jia Xu, and Cao Cao's eyes were full of unprecedented hope.
"Lord ......"
Xi Zhicai looked up at his father-in-law, and then lowered his head again, and said with a solemn hesitation: "Zhicai has a word...... Ignorance...... When should it not be said? ”
"When the military is discussed, you can speak freely!"
Seeing that Xi Zhicai was like this, Cao Cao sighed in his heart, guessing, it seems that Xi Zhicai has no good suggestions. Even so, Cao Cao still pretended to be relaxed and said aloud: "What does Zhicai say...... To put it bluntly, don't worry! ”
"My lord! If it's as expected...... At present, our army has fewer combatable soldiers than the Liangzhou army. Nowadays, the morale of the army is low, and the morale of the army is a little sluggish...... If we continue to hold each other, I'm afraid...... It is extremely bad for our army! ”
Xi Zhicai thought for a few more breaths, as if he had made up his mind, and immediately, he stood up, shook himself to the ground, and said with a solemn face: "Zhicai is brave...... Please ...... the lord Retreat back to Yanzhou! ”
Before Xi Zhicai's words were finished, Cao Cao knew his suggestion to withdraw his troops. After Xi Zhicai finished speaking, dozens of breaths passed, Cao Cao's eyebrows were tightly locked, and he rubbed the long hair on his chin, without saying a word.
"What Zhicai said is not right!"
"This time...... Our army and the Jizhou army are here to beg for thieves, and they are here to destroy the rebels and thieves! Now...... Although our army was defeated by the Liangzhou army, it still has the strength to fight, how can our army ...... Easily retreated? ”
"If Zhicai said, the army retreats to Yanzhou, I am afraid it will be ...... To be laughed at by all the people of the world! Moreover...... Our army's army in Yingchuan County has not yet joined the battlefield. What was the final outcome...... It's not yet decided! ”
Seeing that his father-in-law looked like this, Guo Jia knew in his heart that his father-in-law didn't want to ...... Retired without achievement. Guo Jia thought less and said disapprovingly.
"That'...... According to Fengxiao's words......"
Xi Zhicai shook his head, and then, looking at Guo Jia for a moment, asked aloud: "How should our army use soldiers...... Can we turn the situation around and defeat the Liangzhou army? ”
Xi Zhicai's problem really stumped Guo Jia. For a while, Guo Jia had no decision in his heart, so he had to ...... coughed a few times, and lowered his head with an embarrassed expression.
In order to break the embarrassing atmosphere at this time, Cao Cao looked at Jia Xu and asked with a hopeful face: "Wen He is in his heart...... Still undecided? ”
"Lord!"
Jia Xu came back to his senses from his contemplation and stood up and bowed. Jia Xu did not directly answer Cao Cao's question, but asked about Yuan Shaojun's march, "I don't know...... What are the movements of the Jizhou Army? Can its army break the enemy? ”
"If it weren't for Wen He, Ben Hou would have almost forgotten about this matter!"
Cao Cao seemed to have remembered something important, and immediately, he said in a deep voice with no anger on his face: "According to the report from the messenger of our army, Yuan Shao and his main army are all stationed on the front line of Ji County and Gong County in Hanoi County, and there is no move to enter the army. Yuan's partial division was also a soldier on the front line of Tianjingguan and Gaodu in Bingzhou. This time...... Yuan Benchu was afraid that it would be ...... It's time to stand still and reap the benefits of the fisherman! ”
"The main force of Yuan's army is no less than 60,000 people; The Liangzhou army in Huojiacheng had only more than 20,000 people at most. ”
Xi Zhicai groaned with puzzlement: "Yuan Benchu stopped moving...... Why is that? ”
Cao Cao said in a deep voice with hatred on his face: "Back then, when the Kwantung Coalition Army was crusading against Dong Zhuo, Yuan Ben was initially stunned and only thought about ...... Preserve your strength and reap the benefits of the fisherman. Today, he's still like that! Really...... Lack of success, more than failure! ”
"What I See ......"
Jia Xu said thoughtfully: "First, Yuan Ben originally had the strength to enter the army, but he had no heart to enter the army; Second, although the Yuan army is powerful, it is not necessarily the opponent of the Liangzhou army. ”
Guo Jia asked curiously: "Sixty thousand troops...... There are only 20,000 enemies? ”
"Feng Xiao doesn't know ......"
Jia Xu stroked his beard under his chin, and said loudly in his chest: "The general of the Liangzhou Army stationed in Huojiacheng is Zhao Yun, the second brother of Li Mu, this person uses soldiers and pays attention to the word 'stability'!" With this person in Huojia City, it is really difficult for Yuan Jun to make any gains.
Moreover, the soldiers under Zhao Yun's account are really the elite of the Liangzhou Army! And then there's ...... Zhuge Liang and Xu Shu, whom Li Mu relied on very much, were both on the battlefield in Hanoi County. With these two people making suggestions, Yuan Jun is afraid that he will be more auspicious! Zhuge Liang is not an idle person! ”
Jia Xu thought that Zhuge Liang and Xu Shu were both in Hanoi County, so it was just a ...... Li Mu deliberately spread false information. Li Mu just wanted to confuse Yuan Jun, and at the same time, he also deliberately exposed flaws to Cao Jun - Guanzhong and Nanyang County were empty of troops and there were no capable people to guard them.
Audible...... Jia Xu valued Zhuge Liang so much, and Xi Zhicai muttered with interest: "It's really as Wenhe said...... Zhuge Liang is this person...... Is there really such a talent? ”
Jia Xu said loudly with a straight face: "This person's talent is indescribable...... It's unspeakably high......"
Jia Xu's praise really aroused everyone's curiosity.
