Chapter 584: The Battle of Destroying Cao (46)

"That's good..." Cao Cao barely managed to squeeze out a smile.

"You just said that if you retreat to Guanzhong, what should you do about Jingzhou? There is also Nanyang County, which I heard has been occupied by Yuan Xi. This is equivalent to separating Guanzhong and Jingzhou. ”

"Prime Minister, the matter of Nanyang County, after returning to Guanzhong, let's make progress. Now your safety comes first. Sima Yi said.

Cao Cao thought about it carefully.

Since the beginning of the battle, he has lost consecutive battles and has lost nearly 300,000 soldiers and horses.

Only about neutralizing Jingzhou, there are more than 200,000 elites.

Together with the troops in his hands, it was about 350,000.

If you only rely on the risk, it is more than enough.

If you want to counterattack Yuan Xi and even regain the lost land, it is even more difficult.

The only hope is Liu Bei, who is trapped in Runan County! Liu Bei still has hundreds of thousands of troops, and if he can rescue him, he will definitely be able to turn defeat into victory.

"I can't go back to Guanzhong!" Cao Cao said: "If you go back to Guanzhong now, you won't be able to get out for the rest of your life." Zhong Da, the order of the whole army, early tomorrow morning, march to Runan. We have to join forces with Liu Bei and defeat Yan Liang! ”

"The wisdom of the prime minister is admired by the ministers."

Sima Yi also agreed with Cao Cao's strategy.

In fact, he also forgot in a hurry, and he didn't think of Liu Bei's hundreds of thousands of troops, and they were still insisting on Runan. That is a very strong force, and it is also the key to defeating Yuan Xi.

If the two armies meet and set up a battle in formation, Cao Liu may not be defeated.

........

Next.

Cao Cao led his army south.

Hao Zhao, who was stationed in Xuchang, was ordered to drag Cao Cao, but now he watched Cao Cao leave. He hesitated for a long time, but he still personally led 50,000 troops to attack Cao Cao's rear army.

It's a pity...

Sima Yi laid down an ambush and a formation to repel Hao Zhao.

Hao Zhao lost his troops and retreated to Xuchang to defend himself, and did not dare to come out again.

Whew...

Four inconsistencies descended in the sky over Xuchang.

After circling for a while, head to the barracks.

Hao Zhao was discussing with the generals under his command to pursue Cao Cao, and hurriedly went out of the tent to greet him: "The lord..." ”

"Come in."

Yuan Xi walked to the tent, sat down and said, "I probed in the sky just now, but I didn't see Cao Cao and Zhang Liao, did they withdraw?" ”

Hao Zhao arched his hand and said, "Please forgive the lord." The day before yesterday, Cao Cao had already run out of food, so he concentrated all his forces and attacked Xicheng to join Zhang Liao and Liu Feng. Yesterday, he left Xuchang and headed for Runan. The last general once led 50,000 troops to battle, but was ambushed by Sima Yi and retreated. ”

"How many soldiers do you have now?" Yuan Xi asked.

"Thirty thousand infantry and nine thousand cavalry." Hao Zhao said.

Yuan Xi remembered that he had given Hao Zhao 70,000 elites before, but he didn't expect that there were less than 40,000 troops left. It seems that the confrontation with Cao Cao these days has also consumed a lot of troops. was beaten by Sima Yi again, and his troops were reduced by one-third.

"General Hao."

"Yes."

Yuan Xi said: "Cao Cao went to Runan to join forces with Liu Beili and attack Yan Liang. The number of troops we left in Runan was about 200,000, and Wancheng was 50,000. But... After Cao Cao and Liu Bei joined forces, there were 400,000 troops. That's more than double our troop strength. I'm a little worried about the war in Runan. You arrange the defense of Xuchang, lead all the cavalry, and rush with me to Runan, where we will annihilate Cao Cao and Liu Bei. ”

"The last will obey." Hao Zhao responded.

...........

Yuan Xi rushed to Yan Liang's camp first.

Jia Xu and the trial are all here.

In order to encircle Liu Bei and face Cao Cao, everyone is discussing countermeasures.

Yuan Xi asked people to hang up the map, pointed to the map and said: "Cao Cao is still one hundred and fifty miles away from Runan. It's here in the blink of an eye. We now have two choices, one is to surround Liu Bei and fight Cao Cao first. The second is to send cavalry to confront Cao Cao and lead Liu Bei out for a decisive battle. ”

"Do you have any suggestions, tell me?"

Cao Cao's arrival completely disrupted the previous deployment.

Originally, it was only necessary to surround Xuchang and Runan, but after a long time, Cao Liu ran out of grain and grass, and he was defeated without a fight. How could Hao Zhao not block Cao Cao and make Cao Cao run out.

If you meet Liu Bei, the 400,000 army will gather, and the strength will be several times stronger than before.

The judge said: "The minister still advocates surrounding Liu Bei and fighting Cao Cao first." ”

Yan Liang also said: "Liu Bei was surrounded by us in Runan, and he didn't dare to make any changes. As long as we blocked the news, he didn't know that Cao Cao had come to Runan. We left 20,000 soldiers and horses behind to seal the key crossing. Concentrate the rest of the soldiers and horses and eliminate Cao Cao first. ”

"Hmm...."

Yuan Xi also thinks this strategy is feasible.

"Wenhe, what do you think?" Yuan Xi asked Jia Xu.

Jia Xu said: "In fact, the minister has always advocated besieging the city, and Cao Cao and Liu Bei will naturally be defeated when they run out of food. But unexpectedly, Cao Cao ran out. In this way, it is impossible to besiege the city. ”

"Dare to ask the lord, if Cao Cao and Liu Bei meet and raise an army of 400,000 to fight with the main bus, can the lord be sure of victory?" Jia Xu asked.

"Of course!"

Yuan Xi didn't think much about it: "Don't say 400,000, even if it's 800,000, I don't care about it." When Yuan Xi said this, he was not bluffing, but he was sure.

And this certainty comes from the behemoth!

Once the giant beast enters the battle, what is the 400,000 enemy army?

Jia Xu smiled and said, "Since the lord is absolutely sure, what are you hesitating about?" Let Cao Cao and Liu Bei meet. The lord led the army to Yuyuan Pass, which was the main way to enter the pass. Cao Cao wanted to go back to Guanzhong, and he needed to pass through there. In this way, Cao Liu will join the army, or go to counterattack Yuyan and Yanzhou, which is very likely. Either attack Nanyang County, where General Pang De and our 30,000 elite infantry troops are stationed, Cao Liu is afraid that the lord will shorten the retreat, and he does not dare to attack.... ”

"In the final analysis, the biggest threat to them is the hundreds of thousands of people who are General Yan Liang and General Ma Chao. Therefore, I can almost assert that after Cao Liu meets the army, he will definitely find the lord for a decisive battle. As long as they win this battle, they will be able to turn defeat into victory and regain lost ground one after another. It's also their only chance. ”

Hiss...

Yuan Xi took a deep breath and fell into deep thought.

Cao Cao and Liu Bei joined forces, did they really dare to take the initiative to fight?

If that's the case, it gives you a chance to win.

"My lord, it's too dangerous. We now have the absolute upper hand, we only need to surround Runan, attack Cao Cao in the north, and after eliminating Cao Cao, we will turn back and fight Liu Bei. Sooner or later, they will be defeated, so why should they take the risk? The judge said.

"Mr. Zhengnan, don't think too weak about Liu Bei, he still has an army of 250,000 in his hands, in case we suddenly lead an army to attack when we are in a decisive battle with Cao Cao, what are you going to do? At that time, we will be flanked from both sides, and it will be even more dangerous. Strengths can also become weaknesses. Rather than this, it is better to wait for them to meet, fight with dignity, and solve the problem once and for all. Isn't it safer? Unless you think that the Hebei army can't fight Cao Cao and Liu Bei's alliance. Jia Xu said.
