Chapter 277: For the sake of perfection

After the evening banquet, all the generals returned to the camp, and Liu Yi came to the study alone with Guo Jia.

"Lord, this time Jia is not detailed, the strategy is inappropriate, fortunately Zicai Zhicai, Wenhe and others wake up, in front of me, it is the best policy to focus on Youzhou!" Guo Jia is colorful.

"How can Feng Xiao come to say this, as the saying goes, a wise man must have a mistake, and in Liu's view, although the policy of Feng Xiao is risky, it may not be a loss, this matter is needless to say, this time out of Yanzhou and Cao Mengde to fight, but also rely on Feng Xiao's strategy, don't take it to heart!" Liu Yi said, this is also his true thoughts, the words of Zhang, Xi, and Jia are indeed safe, and they are extremely suitable for today, but it must not be said that Guo Jia's strategy is bad, but his nature is just like this, although this battle is mainly contained, but Liu Yi still wants to compete with Cao Cao in his heart, and Guo Jia's state is extremely important.

"Don't worry, Jia will do his best this time, the lord wants to compete with Cao Cao, why doesn't Jia want to meet Wen Ruozhongde?" Listening to the lord's explanation, Guo Jia was slightly moved in his heart, and he also understood Liu Yi's thoughts, so he smiled and spoke.

"Hehe, fighting with such a strong opponent is the only way to live up to Liu's ambition." Liu Yi said angrily.

"The lord will never go to the true character of the hero, now this Pound, Jiejie is nameless, but the lord treats each other like this, according to the past practice, this person must be a tiger general." Guo Jia has long been convinced of Liu Yi's vision of knowing people, and when he saw him treat Pang De like this tonight, he knew that this person was extraordinary.

"Feng Xiaoxiao praised it, Liu is a person who practices martial arts, and this person's martial arts can naturally be seen at a glance, and his courage is not under the public and the court." Liu Yi secretly shouted ashamed, our ability is not out of vision.

"According to Tian'er's report, after Cao Cao incorporated the Yellow Turban from Qingzhou, the number of troops under his command has been nearly 200,000, this time he led the army out of Xuzhou to bring 50,000 elite soldiers, Xiahou Yuan sat in Huaiyang, falsely claimed to be 100,000 troops, Jiadu will not exceed 50,000 numbers, so it is calculated that Yanzhou Cao's army should be around 100,000, double with our army, and I heard that Cao Cao has a fine cavalry, named Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, led by his own general Cao Chun Cao Zihe, the combat power is extraordinary, our army must be stable and up!" Guo Jiakan said that although Liu Yi now spans three states, he can be newly subordinated, and the population of the two states before the two states cannot be compared with the Central Plains, so it can be said that his current people and horses are only the power of one state in Youzhou, purely in terms of military strength, and he is under Cao Cao, which is at a disadvantage in the first place.

"This is true, Cao Cao's relatives and generals are extremely extraordinary, Xiahou brothers, Cao Ren and Cao Hong are all good generals in the world, I saw it with my own eyes back then, this tiger and leopard ride has also heard of it, although Cao Chun is not named, but it is a rare training talent, and only Jing can be compared with it in our army, but although the tiger and leopard ride is brave, I also have Meng Qi's Xiliang Iron Horse to help, which is enough to be defeated!" There are so-called eight ** in the Cao Cao clan, and Liu Yi will not be unaware.

"Hehe, the lord is too modest, if you talk about military training, I think it is difficult to compare with the lord. Our army sent troops this time, Cao Cao must be on guard, if I were him, I would have to lure the enemy into the depths, and we must not be on guard. Lord, our army must not be held together when marching, and the distance should be slightly widened, so that the enemy army will be difficult to distinguish and attack! Lord, you see, the place of sealing the mound is closest to the tiger prison, and it is close to Huaiyang, our army can go first, although Ziyi has not returned, but with Yuan Highway as a person, the lord and the lord will not miss the opportunity, if our army has to seal the hill, you can observe its movements and then make calculations, when sending troops, you can make Wen Yuan lead the Yanyun battalion and Meng Qi cavalry behind, at any time to meet the front of the lord! Guo Jia pointed to the map and said slowly, these strategies for sending troops have long been in his chest.

"Cao Mengde has long had the intention of going down to Yuzhou, and now the situation, once we send troops, as long as Yuan Highway is not a fool, it can also be seen that this battle has a hundred benefits and no harm to him, Xiahou Yuan has only 50,000 people, if he goes all out, Cao Jun will be difficult to defeat, then our army can at least remove the threat of the flank, and then based on Fengqiu, slowly advance, if Cao Cao is still a plan to lure the enemy, I will simply join forces with Yuan Highway first, and take Xiahou Yuan first." Liu Yi nodded slightly, although he had few soldiers, once Yuan Shu sent troops, the situation would be very different.

"The lord's words are extremely true, as long as our army advances steadily, Cao Cao can only lure me into the hinterland and hope to surround and annihilate him, according to the lord's words, our army can wait for him to come without moving, if he does not come, he will join forces with Yuan Shu, and when he wants to come, Cao Jun has to come out, it is indeed a good plan!" Guo Jia thought about it for a while when he heard this, as long as Yuan Shu sent troops, this plan was extremely feasible, so he said.

"When the coalition army fought against Dong back then, I had seen the combat strength of the princes, Yuan Benchu, Cao Mengde, and Yuan Highway's corporals were all elite of the Han Dynasty, but Yuan Shu was so happy with his achievements, and there were fewer good generals under him, and joining forces with him was not like General Ma, I was only afraid that he would not do his best, and it would be difficult to pose a threat to Xiahou Yuan!" For Yuan Shu, Liu Yi can borrow his strength, but he can't be completely trusted.

"If this is the case, our army can also wait and see the change, depending on the situation in Xuzhou, Youzhou, with the ability of Zhicai and Wenhe, think that Yuan Shao will return to the army, then Liu Bei will fight with Yu Ban, Xuzhou's gains and losses are unknown, if Yuan Shaozhen does not return to the army, Xuzhou will lose, our army's best strategy is only to return to the division of the tiger prison, although our army is fighting with Yanzhou, the center of gravity is in Youzhou, as long as Liu Bei can form a stalemate with Yu Ban, Cao Mengde will fight on three sides, will have some consideration, if he increases the army in Xuzhou, our army can drive straight in, looking for its main decisive battle, thinking about it in the future." Guo Jia said categorically that all the strategies of the Tiger Prison must be based on the situation in Youzhou, which is the biggest premise of this battle.

"Feng Xiao's words are not bad, Yi Yi's understanding of Yuan Shao, the general will definitely return to the army this time, maybe he still wants to eat my Youzhou soldiers in one bite, when Liu is outside, he can go straight to Beiping, if you can get my Youzhou, wouldn't it be ten times better than Xuzhou? I'm only worried that Liu Xuande won't have time to return to the army and go down, or that he will lose too much in Langya, and it will be difficult to fight against Yu Ban. "Liu Yi and Yuan Shao have known each other as early as Luoyang, and they were both the eighth lieutenants of Xiyuan back then, so they had a lot of contact and knew a lot about them.

"Hehe, what the lord said is true, if this is the case, it depends on whether Liu Xuande can hold Xuzhou, but Jia followed the lord to rescue Tao Qian, and the following Pi Jiancheng, plus Guan Zhang Zhiyong, as long as Liu Bei returns to the division in time, Yu Ban may be helpless." Guo Jiayan said.

"Well, we still have to wait for the news of Youzhou and Ziyi before we can determine the policy of our army, Fengxiao is hard, go back to rest first, I think Ziyi should be almost there!" Liu Yi said that Guo Jia also knew that the current military situation was insufficient and it was difficult to study it in detail, so he rested from Liu Yi's words.

At noon on the second day, Tai Shi Ci quickly returned, and prepared Yuan Shu's intention to prepare the main army, and Yuan Highway also made it clear in his handwritten letter to Liu Yi that as long as Liu Yi sent troops first, he would personally lead the people and horses of Yuzhou to attack Huaiyang, Liu Yi no longer hesitated at this time, and led the army out of the tiger prison early the next morning, and went straight to Fengqiu, and a big battle in Yanzhou was inevitable!
