"The Prime Minister is wise and martial, even if he has no last resort, he will definitely win, succeed immediately, level the four states of Hebei, and unify the Central Plains!"

There are thousands of people in the family, one person in charge, Cao Cao drew his sword and swore an oath, his mind has been decided, the ministers judged the situation, no one dared to object, they could only bow down and salute, and unanimously agreed to send troops to the Northern Expedition!

Xun Yu and Xun Yu had the heart to admonish again, but let Cheng Yu pull his clothes and forcibly pull back to his seat, among the four strategists of Cao Ying, Cheng Yu's ability to make suggestions and deal with government affairs is the weakest, but when it comes to figuring out people's hearts and observing words and feelings, the other three together are not as good as Cheng Yu alone!

The decision to send troops has been decided, and it is categorically not changeable, and the next step is the number of troops, time, route, and various preparations, and food and grass are the top priority!

This time to send troops to the Northern Expedition, at least mobilize three or four hundred thousand soldiers and horses, and requisition and transfer millions of people and vehicles, in order to eliminate the Yuan group in one fell swoop, so many personnel, livestock, grain and grass consumption must be huge, coupled with the long distance, difficult transportation, logistics pressure, it can be imagined!

"There is a cloud in the art of war: the husband who does not fight and the temple is considered the winner, and the one who does not fight and the temple is not victorious, and the one who does not fight and the temple is considered to be less, and the more is considered to be the victory, and the less is not the winner, and the situation is not counted...... This time the Northern Expedition faced three major difficulties: logistics grain and grass, troop routes, and southern princes. ”

Cao Cao is resourceful, naturally knows the difficulty of sending troops, now a little more planning, the odds of victory will be one more point, the original battle of Guandu, didn't it rely on strategy, this is how to win more with less!

This time the Northern Expedition is the hegemony of the Cao family, but also the merit of everyone, naturally they are doing their best, the strategists closed their eyes and pondered, and began to strategize, the generals were too lazy to use their brains, and their eyes fell on Xiao Yi and Guo Jia, according to the past practice, these two must have a trick!

"Battlefield battles, victory or defeat is based on, that is, more than bravery, strategy, but also fighting for grain, grass, and ordnance, I have a plan to weaken the Yuan family's strength and strengthen our reserves!"

Xiao Yi lived up to expectations, the first to speak, I saw him take out a gold ingot, put it on the table, this gadget, you can buy officials, buy a field house, change beautiful women......, glittering, loved by the world, but it also has a shortcoming - can't be eaten!

"Gold, silver, and jewelry, which are not to be eaten by hunger or cold, are not as good as grain, silk and linen, and are more useful to the people, and I have ordered forty-three wealthy merchants to buy grain, cloth, iron, and livestock from Hebei at all costs...... All military supplies to enrich the treasury of our army!

At the same time, a card was set up along the Yellow River to prohibit silk, rice, refined salt, arrowhead bamboo, and medicinal herbs from the south...... Flowing into the territory of Hebei, once the two armies went to war, the Yuan army had no food to use, no clothes to wear, no medicine to wear, and fell into hunger and cold!

At that time, contact the 'Black Mountain Army' - Zhang Yan's people, let them take the opportunity to do something, lead countless hungry people, attack the government, cut off the road, and completely disrupt the rear of Hebei, without the support of money, food, and ordnance, even if the Yuan army has millions of people, it will collapse in an instant! ”

Xiao Yat is a human being, and the economic blockade is very clear, comparable to 200,000 male soldiers, unless the Yuan father and son do it themselves and have enough food and clothing, they will die!

"Haha! …… Xiao Lang's plan is wonderful, exchanging useless gold and silver for useful grain, this deal is too worthwhile, and he ordered Shangshu Province to allocate money from the treasury to fully cooperate with the action and weaken the war potential of Yuan's army! ”

After listening to the strategy, Cao Cao stroked his palms and laughed, this kind of black and poisonous method is too much in line with his own wishes, first exchange gold and silver for food, so that the Yuan army is hungry and cold, and after the victory of the war, the gold and silver will return to the original owner, this is the empty glove white wolf!

Besides, the Yuan father and son are greedy and love gold and silver the most, and the Hebei officials have all fallen into the eyes of money, greed will blind them, and when they react, it will be too late!

"Hebei is powerful, like a towering tree, must break its branches and leaves, break its rhizomes, and then cut down the main trunk, in order to achieve great success, when the conquest, the heart is the top, the second is the second, the siege is the bottom......"

Guo Jia stepped forward, pointed to the map of Hebei, explained his strategy for using troops, and synthesized into sixteen words: 'The soldiers are divided into three ways, break their wings, encircle Yecheng, and the main force will fight a decisive battle!'" ’

"The lord sent a general to lead the people of Guanzhong and Xiliang, from Shangdang to Merge Zhou, and attack Xihe, Taiyuan, Leping, and Xinxing...... The counties, cut off the right flank of the Yuan army, and at the same time seize Yanmen Pass, Mayi City, and garrison troops along the Great Wall to prevent the Huns from taking advantage of the fire to loot!

Another team of men and horses was sent to cross the river from Xuzhou to Longmen, attack Qingzhou-Beihai, Donglai, Chengyang, and Le'an counties, cut off the left flank of Yuan's army, and at the same time seize Julu City to block the people and horses of Youzhou from going south to rescue!

The lord personally led the main force of men and horses, crossed the Yellow River from the official, took Liyang City as the base camp, made a feint posture, restrained the main force of Yuan's army, and waited until the three roads converged, surrounded Yecheng, and then fought to the death with Yuan Shao!

In this battle, it is necessary to annihilate the main force of the Yuan army, kill or capture the Yuan father and son, otherwise, let them flee north to Youzhou, and then collude with Karasuma and Xianbei people, come and go without a trace, guerrilla everywhere, the battle situation will inevitably stalemate, and our army's logistics will be difficult! ”

Guo Jia pointed to the map, talked eloquently, and the subordinates were extremely fine, and also pointed out the biggest problem of the Northern Expedition: if you are not afraid of the decisive battle of the Yuan family, you are afraid that the Yuan family will escape!

Xuchang is 500 miles away from Liyang, and Liyang is 300 miles away from Yecheng, so it is easy to transfer grain and grass at such a distance, which can ensure the logistics of the army, and the army will fight quickly and have a greater chance of victory!

On the contrary, if Yuan Shao abandons his old nest - Yecheng, leads the men and horses to retreat on the whole line, constantly lengthens the supply line of the Cao army, and then delays the decisive battle, it will be a big trouble, and the north of the river is thousands of miles away, which is enough to drag the soldiers of the Cao army to death......

"Haha! …… Yuan Shao's eyes are narrow, greedy for enjoyment, reluctant to build palaces, beautiful wives and concubines, no matter how the battle develops, he will not leave Yecheng, there is his grave!

The other princes, Gongsun Du is far away in Liaodong, don't pay attention to it for the time being, although Liu Biao and Liu Zhang are relatives of the Han family, but they are the dogs of the household, and they don't have the courage to send troops, Hanzhong-Zhang Lu is inclined to the imperial court, and he can be a high-ranking official and Houlu, and try to win him over, as for the little overlord-Sun Ce, I'm afraid he is not alive, right? ”

Cao Cao knows the abilities and personalities of the princes well, just some wine bags, rice bags, and hangers, and the only thing that makes him jealous is the little overlord-Sun Ce, but this Jiangdong tiger soul is too empty!

At the time of the Jianghuai War, Sun Ce suffered a first-class star hammer, his internal organs were shattered, and soon his life was whimpered, and the Jiangdong Group has been secretive in order to stabilize people's hearts, but there is no impermeable wall in the world, and the princes have known about Sun Ce's death for a long time, but they just tacitly knew it!

As for Sun Quan, who took over the throne, he was only 18 years old, his milk smell had not dried up, and he had no military merits, regardless of ability, courage, or prestige...... Far inferior to his brother, without five or six years, he doesn't want to gain a firm foothold, let alone propose to go north!

The problems of grain and grass, strategic issues, and rear problems are all planned, and next, it is time to send troops, according to the habits of the princes, most of them are in the golden autumn of October, the grass is yellow and the horses are fat, and the grain and grass are sufficient, and the troops will be sent out in a big way!

Cao Cao couldn't wait for October, he wanted to do the opposite, just after the end of spring ploughing, he went all out to send troops to the Northern Expedition, taking advantage of the temperature difference between the north and the south, and caught Yuan's army off guard!

China's natural environment is that the south is warm and humid, and the north is dry and cold, so the annual cultivation time in the south is always earlier than the north!

Cao Jun controls the south bank of the Yellow River, and the annual cultivation time is in early February, and Jizhou and Qingzhou on the north bank of the Yellow River can only be cultivated and planted until mid-February.

The decisive battle between the two armies on the battlefield, the time of a pillar of incense, can determine the victory or defeat, not to mention one or twenty days, after the spring ploughing of the Cao army, immediately sent troops to the Northern Expedition, at this time the Yuan army will face a choice:

If they continue to cultivate the land, they will delay the time to face the war, lose the initiative in the war, and if they are slow, every step will be slow, so that the Cao army will suppress the fight, and it will be difficult to turn over!

On the contrary, if they don't care about farming, forcibly transfer troops, recruit people, and fight a big war with Cao's army, they will delay the farming time, and the crops of the whole season will be delayed.

The time, the place, the people, the water, the fire, the rain, the thunder and lightning...... As long as it is skillfully used, it can be turned into a sharp weapon, and it can defeat thousands of troops and horses, and kill the enemy invisibly, which is the essence of the art of war!

"The old man has decided, after the spring ploughing in February next year, he will immediately send troops to the Northern Expedition, wipe out the Yuan rebels, and unify the Central Plains.

After the discussion was completed, Cao Cao looked at the map of Hebei, revealing a sense of imperativeness, and then looked at several sons - Cao Pi, Cao Zhang, Cao Zhi, Cao Xiong, and sent troops to the Northern Expedition at the same time, there was a major matter to be solved - Lichu!

On the battlefield, the sword and sword, the line of life and death, is the most test of people's ability, who is the commander's talent, who has the strongest mind, and whose destiny is the highest, it is clear at a glance!
