"A compromise?"

Cao Cao tilted his head and thought for a while, then asked, "What kind of compromise?" ”

"This..."

Liu Bei just said casually, what kind of idea.

In fact, in his heart, he still tended to defeat Lu Bu first, and then go back to save Xu Du. Because in this way, Lu Bu will be hit hard, and even if he defeats the Central Plains, he will not be able to fight in the Guannei again.

"Zhongda."

"Yes."

Sima Yi heard Cao Cao call him and turned sideways.

Cao Cao said, "What do you think?" ”

Sima Yi said: "Xiang Yu, who went to attack Xudu, has the courage of ten thousand people, and the broken military camp under his command is the elite of the elite, and the enemy is better than our Tiger Camp and Longxiang Battalion. If we want to destroy Xiang Yu, we must mobilize at least 100,000 troops. Then we won't be able to destroy Lu Bu. The so-called fish and bear's paw cannot be both, and King Wei can choose one of them. ”

Pang Tong took Sima Yi's words again: "King Wei is wise, he will definitely choose Lu Bu." ”

"Lu Bu is the most important thing. Capture Lu Bu, and the war will be over. His current military strength is not comparable to ours. Liu Bei also said.

"Ahem..."

Cao Cao was notoriously treacherous and intelligent, and he knew very well why Liu Bei and Pang Tong wanted him to continue to fight against Lu Bu. Although he also wanted to destroy Lu Bu, the premise was that Xu Du could not fall.

Xu Du is his base camp and the home of the soldiers. Once lost, people's hearts will fluctuate, hundreds of officials will be lost, and the consequences will be unimaginable.

Cao Cao said: "Shicai Xuande said that we should think of a compromise method, which can not only hold Xu Du, but also eliminate Lu Bu." I think it's very good. I've come up with a solution, maybe it works. ”

"Oh?"

Sima Yi was surprised.

Just after Liu Bei said that, he had already thought of countless countermeasures, but he vetoed them. I didn't expect Cao Cao to come up with the best of both worlds, but it was expected.

Everyone looked at Cao Cao...

Cao Cao said: "The compromise is... Merge two battlefields into one battlefield. Let's lure Lu Bu to Xu Du in Yingchuan County, and eliminate Lu Bu and Xiang Yu at the same time, won't we? If the time is right, you can eliminate Lu Bu first, and then eliminate Xiang Yu. ”

"This..."

Sima Yi reminded: "King Wei, don't forget that Xu Shu's 1st Army can be in the rear of Yingchuan County. He intended to capture Guangcheng Pass. If Lu Bu is in danger, will he come to help? At that time, Lu Bu's strength will be much stronger than now. ”

"It doesn't hurt."

Cao Cao said: "Cao Ren led 200,000 troops and was pursuing Xu Shu. If Xu Shu comes to help, Cao Ren will also follow, then we will have 200,000 more troops. ”

When he said this, Cao Cao slowly got up and continued: "From the very beginning, we have already decided to stick to Yingchuan and Dongjun. However, the appearance of Xu Shu disrupted our layout, causing us to lead an army of 400,000 and leave Yingchuan to fight. This allowed Xiang Yu to kill Yingchuan. Now that Lu Bu has been defeated, the initiative is in our hands, why not take this opportunity to move the battlefield to Yingchuan County? ”

Sima Yi nodded and said, "This requires a careful layout. Before Xu Shu, Xiang Yu, and Lu Bu joined forces, they should be defeated. Otherwise, it will evolve into a situation where our army is surrounded by them. And also.... Chen didn't think that our 400,000 troops could defeat Xiang Yu and Xu Shu. Because we don't know how many artillery pieces Xu Shu has in his hands. ”

"Hmm."

Cao Cao answered.

He also knew the power of Xu Shu's new army's artillery. If there is enough artillery and ammunition, not to mention his hundreds of thousands of people, even if there are hundreds of thousands of people, it will be in vain.

Fortunately, Xu Shu's new army has always been short of ammunition.

"I decided..."

Cao Cao was in a straight shape, and he held his head high and said, "Let's go to Yingchuan!" ”

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

At the time of the war between Lü Bu and Cao Cao, wars continued throughout the Central Plains. Even Hebei has been beaten into a pot of porridge.

Let's talk about Jingzhou first.

Lu Xun originally had 50,000 Jingzhou troops. In order to carry out the order of the Military Aircraft Department, Luo Cheng gave him another 50,000 troops, a total of 100,000 Jingzhou troops, plus the Yizhou army of Hanzhong County, about 50,000 people, marched to Yuzhou, and had occupied Runan.

Next, prepare to advance to Xuanyuan Pass.

Liu Bowen's Thousand Banners Army, Bai Qi's 2nd Army (including Xue Rengui's 300,000 recruits), went to the capital of Yingchuan County. They moved quickly and had already reached the southern part of Yingchuan County.

And in Xuzhou.

Li Jing transferred 50,000 soldiers and horses from Qingzhou, Xuzhou, and the newly recruited 300,000 Xuzhou recruits, and had already crossed the Yellow River and entered Pingyuan County. It was intercepted by the 150,000 Jizhou army, and fierce battles were fought all over the plain.

The 3rd Group Army led by Zhang Liao and Wei Yan (including the remaining 250,000 recruits in Xuzhou, plus 50,000 Xuzhou Army and 50,000 Qingzhou Army) went to Yanzhou, attacked Puyang and Baimajin in Dongjun, and fought fiercely with the 200,000 Cao troops who rushed to the aid of Dongjun.

Generally...

Whether it was Hebei or the Central Plains, Lu Bu's army had an absolute advantage.

The soldiers and horses of Yue Fei, Lu Xun, Liu Bowen, Bai Qi, Zhang Liao, Wei Yan, and Li Jing totaled more than one million. The Cao army they faced was only four or five hundred thousand.

The disparity in strength was so great that they attacked quickly and with great success.

Only Lu Bu is here and has lost a battle.

However, the defeated 390,000 troops learned from the pain and quickly adjusted.

Lu Bu received a report from the scout.

Cao Cao's 200,000 troops were moving rapidly towards Xudu in Yingchuan County. Before leaving, Cao Cao left Xiahou Yuan and Xiahou Dun behind, leading the Long Xiang camp and the Tiger Ben camp to break down.

Responsible for guarding Lü Bu's army.

In other words, if Lu Bu wants to chase after him now, he will definitely be raided by the Longxiang Battalion and the Tiger Ben Battalion.

"Wenhe."

"Yes."

After the scouts who came to report the news retreated, Lu Bu called out to Jia Xu and said, "Cao Cao has more than 50,000 iron horsemen, and he is sure that we will not dare to pursue him. I want to go to Yingchuan to eliminate Xiang Yu. What do you think? ”

"Ugh...."

Jia Xu couldn't help but sigh, and said with some regret: "When the troops were divided, there should have been a division left. ”

Lu Bu: "... ”

Jia Xu looked at the map and said, "Xiahou Yuan and Xiahou Yuan, these 50,000 horsemen, we must destroy him." He is a great threat to us, to the new army, and to Xiang Yu's broken barracks. ”

"yes..."

Lu Bu also said: "His 50,000 horsemen came out, so that our nearly 400,000 troops did not dare to move. If Cao Cao's soldiers and horses were allowed to go to Xudu, Xiahou Yuan and Xiahou Yuan's cavalry rushed to support, joined forces with Cao Cao, and engaged Xiang Yu. I'm really worried, I'm afraid that Xiang Yu won't be able to withstand it. ”

Hey?

At this moment, Jia Xu suddenly pointed to the south of Yanzhou and said, "Bai Qi's 2nd Army should be almost there, right?" ”
