"How did he do it? Does Jingzhou have that many people? Frustrated asked.

"Of course there is..." Yuan Xi sighed and said: "Since the Yellow Turban Rebellion, all the prefectures and counties in the world have fallen into chaos. Only Jingzhou and Jiangdong enjoyed peace. Because they are located on the other side of the Yangtze River. After Liu Biao took charge of Jingzhou, he implemented benevolent governance and rarely fought foreign wars. He had 300,000 male soldiers, and the largest battle he fought was to ambush Sun Jian's soldiers and horses, until Cao Cao attacked Jingzhou, and Liu Biao abandoned Jingzhou. After that, Liu Bei only recruited soldiers in the Jingnan area, and did not go to Jiangling, Xiangyang and other regions. There is also Nanyang, a large county with a population of two million. This is the area under the jurisdiction of Cao Cao from a very early age. So I'm not surprised at all that he recruits hundreds of thousands of recruits. ”

"Oops..."

"In this way, we won't have enough troops. ”

Yuan Xi said: "That's why we have to focus on the water army." We take control of the Yangtze River and wipe out Cao Cao's naval army. Then isolate Jingzhou. This is exactly the same strategy as your military administration. In this way, Cao Cao's hundreds of thousands of troops in the Jingzhou area were useless, and it was impossible for him to transport them to the Central Plains. When the time comes, we will send out heavy troops and break them down. First enter Yuzhou from Yangzhou, capture Nanyang County, meet with the strange soldiers of Wuguan, and then fight Chang'an. As long as Chang'an is captured. Cao Cao's territory was divided into three parts. When we attack Yanzhou again, we will encounter much less resistance, and we will not encounter a large-scale Cao army. In this way, we will be able to concentrate our superior forces and win victories on all battlefields with a crushing posture. Of course, the premise is that the Yangtze River is in our hands. Don't forget, in addition to Cao Cao's hundreds of thousands of sailors, Sun Quan's navy is also likely to participate in the war. That's why I say that the next war will be primarily a water war. Land battles are rare. ”

"I see..."

I got it.

Yuan Xi wanted to encircle Jingzhou with a naval army, and then attack the Central Plains with superior forces. Cao Cao wanted to be rescued, unless he let the Jingzhou army defeat Yuan Xi's army, or ask Sun Quan for help. And this has to start a war with the Hebei naval army.

"The navy is the key to success or failure, because only by controlling the Yangtze River can we avoid the Cao army in Jingzhou from entering the Central Plains. On the contrary, the Cao army we have to face will be several times that of the current one. And to do this, you need a particularly strong water army. Yuan Xi sighed: "Wait, maybe this time next year, Ma Jun will surprise us." ”

............

Yanzhou.

Xu Du Xiangfu.

Cao Cao has been busy with internal affairs in recent months.

He was anxious to govern Xiliang and Jingzhou.

Of these two places, one can buy war horses, and the other can recruit soldiers.

If it can be managed well, there will be no shortage of war horses and soldiers in the future.

Originally, Cao Cao wanted to pay more attention to these two places. But reality did not allow it, he received a report that Jiang Wei was missing, and Jiang Wei's family also left Xuchang.

In other words, Jiang Wei may have defected.

This made Cao Cao very disappointed and a little disappointed.

Like Sima Yong and Jia Xu, he values Jiang Wei very much, and he also wants Hao Zhao. But Hao Zhao lived up to their expectations and surrendered to Yuan Xi. And now Jiang Wei, even his family has left Xuchang, is it possible that he has taken refuge in Yuan Xi?

He wasn't sure yet, but no matter where Jiang Wei went, there was no possibility of coming back. Because even his family is gone.

"Prime Minister, now that Chang'an has no generals to lead the army, did you send General Cao Hai to guard it?" Cheng Yu said.

Cao Hai is Cao Cao's righteous son, loyal and reliable.

But he is not very good at defending the city.

If it was before, Cao Cao would not agree.

But now he was really scared.

Nothing is more important than loyalty.

He nodded and said, "Okay, send Cao Hai to command the soldiers and horses everywhere in Chang'an." Equip him with a few more capable lieutenants. Prevent Yuan's army from crossing from Banpu West. ”

"No."

Cheng Yu should go down.

"Go and find Sima Yi and Jia Xu, I have something to discuss with them." Cao Cao commanded.

Cheng Yu left the Prime Minister's Mansion.

It didn't take long.

Jia Xu and Sima Yi were ordered to come.

Cao Cao invited them to take a seat and said, "It has been a few months since the last Battle of Xiliang, and Yuan Xi may have made preparations. Perhaps after the beginning of spring next year, or after the autumn harvest, an all-out attack will be launched against us. Both gentlemen are good talents to save the world in danger, but can they take precautions? Or is it a strategy to retreat from the enemy? ”

"Yuan Xi has not yet provoked a war, and we don't know where he is attacking us from. Is it too early to talk about the strategy of defending against the enemy? Jia Xu said.

"You can guess. If you were Yuan Xi, where would you send troops from? Cao Cao was too worried, and he couldn't wait to keep his territory from leaking.

Jia Xu looked at Sima Yi.

Sima Yi smiled: "Prime Minister, the minister thinks... Don't worry about Yuan Xi at all. We're not weak now. Doesn't Yuan Xi have a giant beast, but it turns out that fire oil can destroy giant beasts. And we control the oil fields, there is a lot of thermal oil. As long as you use it properly, you won't have to worry about winning. ”

"So how?"

"Layout!" Sima Yi said: "The minister also expects that in the spring or autumn of next year, Yuan Xi will start a war. And before that, the prime minister should make some preparations. For example, the fire oil in the Luoyang area was transported to Jingzhou, Chang'an, Xiliang and other places, and all the soldiers and horses in Jingzhou, except for those necessary to defend the city, were transferred to Yanzhou to prepare for war. In this way, our main forces are concentrated in the Yanzhou region, and we can engage Yuan Xi at any time. Advance can be attacked, retreat can be defended. ”

If Yuan Xi was here, when he heard this, he would definitely change his established combat strategy. Because once the troops in the Jingzhou area are transferred to Yanzhou, then the Yangtze River will be blocked, and the effect will not be great.

The next war will no longer be dominated by naval armies.

Cao Cao got up and walked to a map in the back: "Our forces are too scattered, we really need to concentrate them." Save Yuan Xi from calling, we were caught off guard.... ”

Speaking of this, Cao Cao remembered one thing: "Wenhe, how did you talk to Liu Bei's envoy?" ”

Jia Xu replied: "The minister has already sent people to Yizhou twice to negotiate with Liu Bei. But it didn't work out well. The day before yesterday, Liu Bei sent Fa Zheng to come, and the minister talked with him for a long time, but there was no need to draw conclusions. In short, Liu Bei is still unwilling to form an alliance with us, and the reason for this must be known to the prime minister. Jia Xu didn't say it explicitly.

Cao Cao said: "Of course I know. Didn't he just want to say that I was a national thief, and he was an imperial uncle. So they don't want to ally with me. If it weren't for Yuan Xi's great power, he would never have sent Fa Zheng to negotiate. ”

"yes. Therefore, it is very difficult for us to form an alliance with Liu Bei. ”

"Do your best..."

Cao Cao had no other way.

Liu Bei has become a climate, and he has hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses in his hands, and he can't force Liu Bei to do anything.

The current Liu Bei is no longer the Liu Bei who was at his mercy a few years ago.
