Chapter 542: The Battle of Destroying Cao (4)
Behind was an army of 100,000 people.
The people stood on the streets, serving tea and water, and were very busy.
The soldiers who walked through the streets, at the signal of their respective generals, accepted the kindness of the people and drank a sip of cold water.
After leaving Yecheng.
There were still tens of thousands of troops outside the city, meeting with Yuan Xi.
After that, we went to Liyang together.
During this period, troops from Bingzhou, Wei County, Hedong, Hanoi and other places were assembled in Liyang. There are also infantry troops from Bingzhou, advancing towards Banpujin, and they will go to defend the Weihe defense line under the command of Jiang Wei.
this day.
Cao Cao woke up from his dream.
The soldiers of the Tiger Guard guarding Cao Cao saw that Cao Cao was covered in sweat, so they asked, "Prime Minister, what's wrong with you?" ”
"It's okay, I had a nightmare." Cao Cao rolled over and got out of bed and shouted outside, "Go and call Jia Xu and Sima Yi." ”
Soon.
Jia Xu, Sima Yi, Cao Ren, and Cao Chun all rushed to the Prime Minister's Mansion.
Their expressions were solemn, as if something important was going on.
Cao Cao asked.
Sima Yi replied: "Prime Minister, Yuan Xi has sent someone to send a war letter." He pulled a piece of hard paper from his bosom.
"Bring it."
Cao Cao didn't even have time to put on his clothes, so he read the war book first.
"This is Chen Lin's handiwork again, right?" Cao Cao asked.
"Yes. Except for Chen Lin, no one can write such a majestic essay. It's just that this article has a lot of boasting, it seems that Yuan Xi wants to continue the matter of the giant beast and make a big fuss. ”
"Humph!"
Cao Cao tore the text to pieces: "I've been waiting for this day for a long time, Yuan Xi wants to fight, just let him come, I'm still afraid that he won't succeed?" ”
said that he was not afraid, Cao Cao's brows were already wrinkled.
"Zhongda, what is your best plan?"
"I think... Offense should be used instead of defense. "Sima Yi is really amazing.
"What? Are you asking me to fight Hebei? Cao Cao was originally very worried, but was amused by Sima Yi's words: "Zhongda, you're not joking, are you?" ”
"I'm not kidding. The wonder of the art of war lies in not looking for convention. Yuan Xi would only expect that we would passively defend Yanzhou. So there is a solution. But he never imagined that the prime minister would suddenly attack Hebei at this time. Those who are allowed to go say that they are attacking and annexing the state, because the mountains and rivers there are dangerous, and once they are occupied by us, it will be difficult for Yuan Xi to take them back. Moreover, merging the states to link the two states of Hebei and Youzhou, we can send troops to threaten his rear at any time, isn't this the best policy? Don't forget that Yuan Xi has transferred all his troops to attack the Central Plains, and the state must be empty. This is the best chance to attack and merge the state. Sima Yi said.
"This..."
Cao Cao sat down slowly: "Wenhe, what do you think?" ”
"Reconsideration."
Jia Xu replied.
"Do you think it's feasible?" Cao Cao was taken aback.
"Yes. Yuan Xi declared war on us, he intended to unify the world, this is to force us to a dead end, we have no way, either rise up or be eliminated by him. I believe that Yuan Xi has made full preparations, and he has absolute confidence to capture the Central Plains. If we follow the steps and defend Yanzhou, I am afraid we will not succeed. Therefore, mobilizing heavy troops and counterattacking Hebei is the only way out. Jia Xu said.
"You've already discussed it, haven't you?" Cao Cao asked.
"Yes. The minister and Zhongda have already discussed, and they have a careful plan for counterattacking Hebei. As long as the prime minister gives an order, it can be implemented. ”
"You wait." Cao Cao went back to the house and got dressed.
Sima Yi, Jia Xu, Cao Ren, and Cao Chun all sat in the hall and waited.
Cao Cao came out after getting dressed: "Zhongda, you tell me in detail." The more detailed the plan for the counterattack on Hebei, the better. ”
"Yes."
A map hangs on the left side of the lobby.
Sima Yi walked over and said, "Prime Minister, please see, our defense area has roughly five places. The first is Banpujin, where the enemy army can be blocked from entering Xiliang and Chang'an. The second is Xiaopingjin, which can block the enemy from attacking Luoyang. The third is Guandu, which is the gateway to Yanzhou, and Yuan Xi will definitely march from there, and then the soldiers will be divided into two routes, all the way to Yanzhou, all the way to Tiger Prison Pass, Luoyang. The fourth is Chenliu County, which is the closest to Yanliang's Xuzhou and may be attacked by the Xuzhou army. Fifth, Huainan, where General Li Tong was stationed.... ”
"And that's not even counting the waterways. If we count the waterways, we have more places to defend. These include Fancheng, Xiangyang, Jingnan and other areas, all of which are likely to be attacked. Therefore, no matter how many troops we have, it is impossible to defend in an all-round way. ”
"The result of the courtier's deliberation with Wen He... Focus on the defense of Jingzhou, Nanyang County, and Guanzhong. Our army can be divided into 200,000 and deployed in Guandu, Chenliu, and Huainan, but we cannot expect them to win, and we can only delay it for a while. During this period, we will concentrate 150,000 elites, with lightning speed, from Xiaopingjin to the west, cross the Luo River, enter the east of the river, and then wait for the opportunity to attack Bingzhou. The ministers expected that the annexed state was empty, and it would be difficult to resist the offensive of our army. If nothing else, within a month, we can make a difference.... ”
"Wait." Cao Cao waved his hand and said, "This doesn't seem to stop Yuan Xi, he still wants to capture Yanzhou." Don't Yanzhou want it? ”
Sima Yi and Jia Xu looked at each other.
Jia Xu said: "Prime Minister, the current situation is no longer a battle of life and death, but a battle of life and death." We can't collect food, we can't fight for a long time, and we can't even pay our money. If we fight with Yuan Xi for a long time, we will defeat ourselves without a fight. So.... When necessary, Yanzhou can abandon it. Isn't there still Jingzhou and Guanzhong? There are many checkpoints in Guanzhong, which can block Yuan Xi's advance. Jingzhou is thousands of miles away, and Yuan Xi's expedition is not easy to attack, which is the key to our later strike. The purpose of Chen and Zhongda to sacrifice this plan was to delay time in the Yanzhou region, find an opportunity, and inflict heavy losses on Yuan Xi, and then move the battlefield to Guanzhong and Jingzhou. Or Merge Prefecture, Jizhou, Youzhou, because by then, we have already captured Merge Prefecture, and we can fight on multiple fronts. Make trouble for Yuan Xi's rear and contain his main force. ”
"Preemptive.... Cao Cao thought of Liu Bei and Sun Quan.
If you can really make a preemptive strike, and then have Liu Bei and Sun Quan to help, maybe you can really repel Yuan Xi.
But the key now is that there is no food, and it is difficult to even raise an army, how can it support the army to fight?
"Wenhe, how much food do we have?" Cao Cao asked.
Jia Xu replied: "Prime Minister rest assured, within a month, we will not be short of food. ”
"Can it only last for a month?"
"Uh... Be. Jia Xu is also helpless,
Who made Yuan Xi so rich, bought all the things in the Central Plains, and couldn't even collect grain at a high price.
"Okay...." Cao Cao said: "You are right, when life and death are at stake, I don't care about the gains and losses of a city and a place, Yuan Xi wants my Yanzhou, and I will take his annex first." See who takes advantage. ”
"Tell me, how do you get in?" Cao Cao sat down and hugged the tea bottle.
Sima Yi continued: "The elites who go to fight in Bingzhou can be selected from the Yanzhou army. All were foot soldiers, crossbowmen, and some kerosene. The commander of the army is Cao Ren. ”
When he said this, Sima Yi looked at Cao Ren on the side: "The general must be improvised, and save the vitality." You must know that the 150,000 elites in your hands are our hope. It is necessary not only to capture and annex states, but also to counterattack. ”
