Chapter 370: A battle can be defeated

"How many people are needed?" Cai Mao asked.

"Five thousand elite soldiers will do." Cao Cao said.

Cai Mao agreed after a little contemplation, the Hun cavalry has two thousand people, if the five thousand elite soldiers encounter the Hun cavalry on the frontal battlefield, the most likely scenario is defeat, the speed of the cavalry can be compared with the foot soldiers, or the battle is unfavorable, they can also retreat calmly.

Cai Mao is still more curious about Cao Cao's plan, what kind of means will Cao Cao take to deal with the Hun cavalry, if Cao Cao can't win by then, it's not too late to settle accounts with Cao Cao.

Cao Cao was originally a prince, and when the princes crusaded against Dong Zhuo, he also had a great reputation, which also made the officials in Jingzhou have a lot of precautions against Cao Cao.

After Cao Cao returned to the army, he immediately began to plan against the Hun cavalry.

In the troubled times, strength is the most important, and with the support of the family, it is also extremely beneficial to Cao Cao, Jingzhou is currently stable, and the major families in Jingzhou are also willing to follow Liu Biao's orders, Cao Cao wants to develop his own strength, he must have the support of the family.

It is still of great significance to let these civilian and military generals in Jingzhou see his strategy in leading troops into battle, so why worry that there will be no more people secretly showing goodwill at that time.

When he was in Nanyang County, Cao Cao was also secretly accumulating strength, in addition to the 2,000 troops left behind in the rear, all the cavalry in the army were brought to Cao Cao.

After the defeat against Lu Bu in the past, Cao Cao worked hard in secret, and the effort spent on cavalry was also the largest.

Although there are only 800 tigers and leopards, but the combat effectiveness that broke out is definitely not to be underestimated, it is with 800 tigers and leopards that Cao Cao was able to gain a foothold in Nanyang.

In Nanyang County, there are many thieves raging, but after Cao Cao's arrival, the situation has changed dramatically, and many officials in Jingzhou agree with Cao Cao.

From the hands of the thieves, Cao Cao also received a lot of materials, which also became the basis for his military development.

From the attitude of Liu Biao and the officials in Jingzhou, Cao Cao realized that it is very difficult to really rely on his strength to enter the high-level of Jingzhou, but as long as he has enough strength, he does not have to worry about this.

Because Cao Cao was keenly aware that the situation in Jingzhou was not as stable as it appeared to be, and sometimes, it was not that Jingzhou was unwilling to use troops, but that the internal situation decided that they had to take a more prudent approach.

After weakening the strength of the Xiongnu cavalry, it will definitely make the high-level of Jingzhou see the huge benefits brought by the attack on Yuzhou, and in the face of such tangible benefits, Cao Cao believes that the high-level of Jingzhou will not be indifferent.

Lu Bu is a wolf with ambitions, how can Yuan Shu not be like this, Cao Cao deeply suspects that now the jade seal of the country is in the hands of Yuan Shu.

Moreover, Yuan Shu's strength is the best among the princes, and after suppressing Yuan Shu, the princes will be more cautious when acting.

With Cheng Yu planning on the side, Cao Cao was full of confidence in this operation, as long as the Hun cavalry was defeated, the rest of the matter would be much simpler.

In the confrontation between Yuan Shu and the Jingzhou vanguard army, it can be felt that Yuan Shu is still strong, in fact, this is not the case, in fact, the situation under Yuan Shu's rule is also extremely grim, especially after the Yanzhou army dispatched to seize Jiyin County and Chenliu County, the forces that are secretly dissatisfied with Yuan Shu will definitely take action.

The Jingzhou army only needs to be stronger on the battlefield in Yingchuan, and the support it will receive will not be less.

Sometimes, the power of support needs to be won by the monarch, and it is far from enough to rely on the opportunities sent by others.

Cao Cao received such a task, and his generals were also highly motivated, and they seemed to see Cao Cao's opportunity to regain his reputation among the princes.

The Hun cavalry can compete with the Xuzhou Xiao cavalry battalion, and the strength is strong, if Cao Cao can defeat the Hun cavalry, it will be a good opportunity.

Cheng Yu stroked his beard under his chin and said slowly: "The lord wants to defeat the Hun cavalry and help Cai Mao capture Yingchuan, which is very difficult. ”

Cao Cao said: "Although the strength of the Hun cavalry is strong, the strength of the cavalry under the command of this official is not weak. ”

"The words of the lord are very true, but Ji Ling is the first fierce general under Yuan Shu's account, so he needs to be more cautious when planning." Cheng Yu reminded.

Cao Cao laughed and said: "Ji Ling is just a general under Yuan Shu's account, he has only courage and lack of resourcefulness, and he can lose a battle." ”

From Cao Cao's body, Cheng Yu felt confidence, a monarch, if he lacks confidence, it is definitely a very dangerous thing, the reason why he has such words, why not to make Cao Cao have more confidence in himself.

The battlefield of Yanzhou failed, and the generals under Cao Cao had a lot of losses, and even Yanzhou was divided between Yuan Shu and Lu Bu, such a thing would be a huge blow to any monarch, but Cheng Yu did not leave Cao Cao because of this, he believed that Cao Cao could make a difference in the troubled times.

"The lord can be so ......," Cheng Yu whispered in his ear.

After Cao Cao heard this, his eyes lit up, and he said with a smile: "With Zhongde planning on the side, why worry that this battle cannot be won." ”

"I don't know what the lord thinks of the situation in Jingzhou today?" Cheng Yu asked suddenly.

Cao Cao's eyes tightened, he naturally heard the meaning of Cheng Yu's words, Jingzhou is a rich land, and any prince wants to get such a rule for his own use, and Jingzhou has not experienced many wars, and the population is large, if he can get Jingzhou, there will definitely be a place among the princes.

"Liu Jingsheng's prestige in Jingzhou is not low." Cao Cao said. Fastest network update on the computer:/

Cheng Yu smiled slightly, no longer speaking, Cao Cao has the heart to seize Jingzhou, it is enough for Cheng Yu, he will do his best to help Cao Cao plan Jingzhou.

In the troubled times, if a monarch doesn't even have a place to stand, it is definitely an extremely dangerous thing, why did Sun Ce obey Yuan Shu's orders, not because Sun Ce was willing, but because the situation forced him, when Yuan Shu moved troops to attack Xuzhou, why Cao Cao didn't move, it was because Cao Cao was subject to Liu Biao.

If you are controlled by others, there will be many disadvantages after all, and only after the number of cities under your rule increases, can you better control your own destiny.

And Cao Cao wanted to gain a foothold in Jingzhou, and the victory of this battle was very important.
