“37、38、39...。”

The moment Lu Bu finished counting.

Chen Gong shouted happily: "We won." The number of votes in the Military Aircraft Department was a full five more than that of Wen He. Hahahaha.... ”

"What the public station said is right."

Lu Bu put away all the blank papers, put them aside, and said: "After my counting, those who agree to implement the strategy of the Military Aircraft Department have five more votes than those who agree to implement the strategy of the military aircraft department. That's why I announced that I would choose the tactics of the Military Aircraft Division. ”

No matter who you choose, some people will think it is good and some people will think it is bad.

But in Lu Bu's words, the minority obeys the majority.

Since the military aircraft department has a majority of strategic votes, those who support Wenhe can only support the military aircraft department instead.

"Gongtai, you are responsible for giving orders."

"No."

Chen Gong stood up excitedly and said: "General Li Jing led Xu Qing 150,000 soldiers and horses to Jizhou on August 10... ”

Chen Gong finished the specific task.

All the named generals present stood up one after another to make their promises.

The generals who have received the heavy responsibility are even more excited and excited, gearing up and waiting to make meritorious contributions.

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

this day.

Liu Bei's soldiers and horses arrived at Xu Capital in Yingchuan County.

Cao Cao personally greeted him and set up a banquet to entertain him.

In the palace of the king of Wei.

Cao Cao said to Liu Bei: "According to our detailed investigation, Lu Bu has nearly two million troops. This time he attacked me, and it is likely that he will use all his forces with the intention of dominating the world. Does Xuande have a strategy to defend against the enemy? ”

"Yes."

"Oh?"

Cao Cao asked with interest, "What kind of strategy is it?" ”

Liu Bei glanced at Pang Tong who was sitting next to him.

Pang Tong understood and said to Cao Cao: "The king of Wei invited us to help in the war, and even Chang'an was ceded to us, and he promised to give the Son of Heaven to my lord." If we can't come up with a strategy to please the thief, I'm afraid that even King Wei won't think it's worth it, right? ”

"No, no, no..."

Cao Cao's prevaricating road.

"So what the hell is the strategy?" Sima Yi also became interested and asked.

"Actually, it's not a strategy, it's just a matter of facts." Pang Tong stood up, hugged his fists at Cao Cao and said, "A few days ago, our detailed work found out the specific layout of Lu Bu for the invasion of the Central Plains and Hebei. And Lü Bu had already given orders to the prefectures and counties to march into the army. I now have a specific schedule for his march! ”

"What?!"

Cao Cao and Sima Yi were shocked.

"Is Shi Yuan's words serious?" Cao Cao asked in disbelief.

"Nature is true." Pang Tong took out a silk silk from his arms, stepped forward and handed it to Cao Cao, and said, "King Wei, please take a look." This is Lu Bu's strategy plan for Henan, Yan, and Hebei. ”

"I'll see..."

Cao Cao couldn't wait to take it: "Hahahaha..." ”

After reading it, Cao Cao couldn't stop laughing.

But smiling and smiling, his face was gloomy.

It was not that he doubted the authenticity of the information, but that Lu Bu dispatched nearly 1.6 million troops to attack his territory, which was more than twice as many as his army. In this case, even with this information, it is very difficult to resist.

"It's not a good fight."

Cao Cao looked at the silk silk and said.

"yes." Sima Yi also frowned.

If it is a disparity in strength, the key is that Lu Bu's army is still so strong. Any one can match Cao Cao's elite. It's scary to think about.

"King Wei, can you take a look?" Sima Yi asked.

"Give."

Cao Cao handed the silk in his hand to Sima Yi. After Sima Yi saw it, he said, "We have to make a choice..." ”

"Trade-offs?"

Cao Cao didn't understand and asked, "What does Zhongda mean?" ”

Sima Yi said: "Judging from Lu Bu's layout, only the troops who invaded Hebei are few. We can mobilize heavy troops and destroy Li Jing's troops first. And in the Central Plains, there are more than a million people and horses of Lu Bu, and it is impossible for us to defeat. So.... Consideration should be given to abandoning Henan and Yanzhou and deploying heavy troops to Liangdu and Hebei. Of course, Zhongyuan can't give up completely. If we give up completely, we will both be in danger. So I have to learn from Lu Bu. Leave a group of soldiers and horses to make trouble in the Central Plains. Hold back most of his forces and give us time to prepare. ”

"What Zhongda said is what I want to say." Pang Tong said.

"Shi Yuan thinks so too?" Cao Cao asked.

"Hmm. The strategy I mentioned before is similar to that of Mr. Zhongda. The Central Plains is flat, which is not conducive to defense. Or the terrain of the Kannai is suitable.... Pang Tong nodded.

The Central Plains is the place where Cao Cao rose, and it has been operating for more than ten years and has been deeply rooted. There were many families during this period. It is precisely with the help of the family that he can stand tall among the princes. Now to make him give up the Central Plains is like cutting his flesh.

Cao Cao pondered for a moment...

He finally shook his head and said, "No, Zhongyuan can't give up!" ”

Sima Yi said: "The minister does not want the king of Wei to give up the Central Plains, but temporarily..." ”

"Once the main force of our army withdraws from Yuyan, can we come back?" Cao Cao is not stupid.

According to Sima Yi's words, leaving a force to fight guerrillas can only cause trouble for Lu Bu, and at most drag down Lu Bu's troops, but it cannot really achieve a counteroffensive. Once you lose the Central Plains, you will never come back.

"Hehe..."

Pang Tong chuckled twice.

All back to their seats.

Cao Cao asked Pang Tong: "What is Shi Yuan laughing at?" ”

Pang Tong said: "Has King Wei ever heard of a word called Shede? If you are willing to give up, you will get if you are willing to give up. If you don't abandon the Central Plains, how can you keep Hebei and the two capitals? ”

Cao Cao's gaze turned to Sima Yi again.

Sima Yi and Pang Tong agreed on the same opinion, and nodded again and again.

"The two major states of the Central Plains have countless families entrenched. In normal times, we raise grain and grass and recruit soldiers and horses, thanks to their support, and I have repeatedly promised them that we will hold Yuzhou and Yanzhou. Now that Lu Bu hasn't called, I will withdraw hundreds of thousands of troops to Guannei. Isn't it crossing the river and demolishing the bridge? Who else will help us in the future? "Cao Cao considered it comprehensively.

And the most important thing he didn't say...

That is, among his advisers, most of them are from Yingchuan, Yuzhou! Behind them, there is a huge family. If you give up Yingchuan and the Central Plains, won't it chill the strategists under your command?

"Yu Yan can't give up." Cao Cao thought about it again and again, but he still didn't dare to take that step.

Pang Tong frowned...

Sima Yi thought for a while and said, "Since the King of Wei is unwilling to give up the Central Plains, he has to mobilize heavy troops and step up defenses. It's just that.... ”

"Just what?"

"It's just that no matter how much defense is deployed, it will definitely not be able to stop the enemy army of nearly 1.6 million. The minister still had to advise the King of Wei to abandon the Central Plains, retreat to the Guannai, and defend it with danger, so as to have a slight chance of victory. Sima Yi said.

Speaking of which, it is back to the topic just now.

Cao Cao: "......." ”

Pang Tong said: "The military situation on the front line is like fire, and there is no room for hesitation. The king of Wei should make a quick decision. ”
