482nd Third Battle of Xuzhou 5
"The last general commands!" Yu Ban stood up, walked to Cao Cao, knelt on one knee, didn't talk nonsense, and directly answered the order.
Although Yu Ban is recorded in the history books very badly, he is a very powerful person among Cao Cao's generals, in fact, among the generals of the Cao army today, his ability to lead troops can definitely rank first, far stronger than Xiahoudun and Cao Ren. It was only later, Cao Cao's subordinates gathered stars, and the other servants of the Five Tiger Generals, Xu Huang, Zhang Liao, Zhang Jaw and others, began to shine, and his ability was gradually covered up.
And Yu Ban's own luck was so bad that he became a prisoner of Shu Han and Wu successively.
When Xiahoudun heard this, he was a little unconvinced, he just wanted to stand up and argue a few words, but he was pulled back by his brother Xiahoulian beside him, and he just wanted to ask his younger brother.
I heard Cao Cao then order: "Yuan Rang, I know you want to go to Donghai County!" However, Miaocai's disadvantage in the division has made our army's current situation very much changed, and Miaocai may not be able to make any progress in Donghai County, so if our army wants to break Liu Beijun's troop layout, it must unite with Sun Ce.
Lone still only gave you 5,000 soldiers and horses this time, during this time, you must have seen that Guan Yu on the other side has become more powerful this time, are you sure to use this strength to entangle him? Wen Qian, the task of the surprise attack on Lujiang County will be handed over to you! ”
Wen Qian is the word for Lejin.
Unexpectedly, as soon as Cao Cao finished speaking, Cao Hong couldn't help it, he suddenly came out of the queue and put forward another suggestion, and at the same time fought for Xiahoudun: "Lord, it just so happens that Miaocai is in the north, can't we concentrate on attacking Donghai County?" Wouldn't it be okay to let Wen Ze lead his troops to entangle Guan Yu? ”
Not to mention, Cao Hong's suggestion was also approved by many generals in the account.
But Cao Cao didn't even hesitate at all, shook his head and replied: "Zilian, this suggestion you put forward seems to be extremely reasonable. However, haven't you thought about why they didn't mention it? ”
Speaking of this, Cao Cao paused deliberately, glanced at the expressions of the strategists and generals in the tent, and suddenly among the middle-level generals standing behind, one of the young generals seemed to nod knowingly.
So, Cao Cao pointed to the young general and asked, "Are you ,......, Mancheng?" Do you think General Li Feng's suggestion is feasible? ”
Cao Cao knew Li Dian, originally, Li Dian is now serving as the Taishou of Lihu, because of the needs of the war, Cao Cao specially named him to participate in the war with the army.
was suddenly named by Cao Cao, but Li Dian had no stage fright, he talked eloquently under the eyes of everyone: "Lord Qi, the last general thinks that Guo Junshi's strategy is better." If our army attacks Donghai County side by side, Liu Beijun will inevitably mobilize the troops of Xia Pi to reinforce Donghai. What's more, even if General Yu Ban was able to entangle Guan Yu with a very small number of troops, what if that Xu Shu suddenly sent troops from Xiapi Country to Pengcheng Country to cut off our army's grain route?
Our army can't divide a part of its forces to guard against Liu Bei's army! According to Guo Junshi's strategy, if our army enters Jiujiang County, Liu Beijun will only send troops to rescue Jiujiang County, and there is no spare strength to cut off our army's back road. However, the last general believes that in addition to the strange troops sent to Lujiang County, it is best for the main force of our army to first put on the appearance of Guan Yu and stay in Pengchengguo.
At present, the most important thing is to grasp the time to enter Jiujiang County, not early, nor to go, it is best after Sun Ce sent troops to Jiujiang County, and his troops arrived in Shouchun City or Hefei City. ”
"Bang Bang!" Cao Cao clapped his hands happily and praised loudly: "Well said, said so well!" Zilian, you should also be friendly with Man Cheng in the future! ”
Cao Cao was very satisfied with Li Dian's answer, not only because Li Dian expressed his own and other military concerns about the direction of sending troops, but he didn't expect that Li Dian actually knew something about the situation in Jiujiang County.
The two most important cities in Jiujiang County are Shouchun City and Hefei City, if Cao Cao is allowed to choose, he will definitely be stationed in Hefei City, so that Sun Ce can be blocked and he will not be able to penetrate deep into the southern area of Jiujiang County. And if Lu Su really had to choose like this, wouldn't it give the opportunity for Cao Jun to attack Jiujiang County and take the gap in the south of Jiujiang County when Lu Su concentrated the troops of Jiujiang County in Hefei City?
"Lord, the last general Le Jin will receive the order!"
"Lord, the last general Xiahoudun leads the troops!"
As soon as Li Dian finished explaining, Xiahoudun had to accept Cao Cao's order, after all, the overall situation was still important, in fact, at this time, he had already figured it out. Compared with himself, Yu Ban is indeed a more suitable candidate to send troops to Donghai County.
At this time, Cao Cao, who was on the rise, suddenly saw Li Dian frowning and looking like he wanted to speak, so he asked, "What, Wen Qian, you seem to have something to say!" ”
"Lord Qi, the last general knows that it is a bit inappropriate to say it at this time. However, the lord and the last general are very worried that this time, the progress of the joint attack on Xuzhou with Sun Cejun will not be too smooth. Hearing this, Li Dian glanced at Cao Cao and replied.
"Why is that?" Cao Cao asked puzzled.
"Man Cheng, are you worried about Nanyang Zhang Xiu, or Jin Jue's kid!" When Li Dian's somewhat inappropriate words came out, a flash of inspiration flashed in Guo Jia's mind, and he suddenly stood up and asked.
Li Dian nodded and replied, "Not bad! The lord has already sent someone to explain to Zhang Xiu that he is willing to abandon his previous suspicions, and under the persuasion of Jia Xu, he seems to have the intention of raising the whole army to surrender to the lord. However, in the recent period, the subordinates have heard the news that after the last battle of Nanyang, Zhang Xiujun's performance seems to be too calm. Also, Guo Junshi, recently, did Jia Xu send someone to contact you? ”
Guo Jia was in charge of Cao Jun's intelligence gathering work, so Li Dian asked this question.
"Zhang Xiu and Liu Biao have been scared by the lord, and there is no movement, isn't it normal?" Xiahou Lian realized that he finally caught a loophole in Li Dian's words this time, and questioned him.
"There's a connection, no, no, lord, that old fox has recently written to you, and the content in his heart is too formulaic. It is completely different from the past, and it seems to have been perfunctory. Moreover, as Man Cheng said, our army is attacking Xuzhou this time, if Zhang Xiu is willing to surrender to you at this time, he will definitely get a chance to make great contributions, and if he has other ideas, he will definitely send troops to peep into Yingchuan. It is precisely the lack of any movement that arouses suspicion! Guo Jia stroked the short beard under his chin and said.
