Chapter 19: Dangerous Moves
He Yan's cheeks were already crimson, and he couldn't help but take a sip and kicked on Hua Wenxuan's leg.
Hua Wenxuan was in pain, and couldn't help but sigh, which made Cao Pi and Qin Lang laugh.
Cao Pi smiled and said: "Since you and Uncle Ping have long been in love, no sword gift is as good as the Golden House, He Mansion is a mansion carefully selected by my father for Uncle Ping, and the Wenxuan brothers will live temporarily if they don't dislike it." ”
Hua Wenxuan Yile, so big mansion, what is picky! Busy nodding yes.
After laughing, Cao Pi seemed to think of something, turned to Qin Lang and said: "If there are many people in the He Mansion, there is no need to ask for instructions, don't kill them!" The killing intent on his face made people shudder.
Cao Pi switched his pleasant expression, and said to He Yan: "Uncle Ping, go back first, I and Gongzi Wenxuan have to go to the school to discuss," Cao Pi glanced at Hua Wenxuan with a mysterious expression, "You have to explain to the chef in your house, prepare the banquet, and you will never let Gongzi Wenxuan stay in someone else's house overnight tonight!" ”
He Yan was stunned for a moment, but after a moment, his face was shy.
Cao Pi laughed loudly, and took Hua Wenxuan and Qin Lang to the school office.
Passing through the hall, I saw that Cao Zhi and the clansmen had already retreated, and I saw that Cheng Yu and other civil officials were still discussing something in the same place, and Cao Pi didn't say anything, and went straight out of the Prime Minister's Mansion.
In the main hall of the school office, Guo Jia had already stood with his hands down, closed his eyes and rested for a while. Several uniformed generals were huddled around the sand table, pointing at Huainan and arguing over something.
Cao Pi and others came to the main hall, and everyone was busy standing in the hall, no longer speaking, whether it was the group of presumptuous people of Cao's Xungui, it could be seen that Cao Cao's skill of recognizing people was indeed good. The people standing in the audience are all the generals who Cao Cao has paid and defected all the way since Chen Liu's army, but the strange thing is that there is really no Cao clan relative, Hua Wenxuan couldn't help but be stunned, in comparison, the strength behind Cao Zhi is indeed stronger.
Cao Pi looked at the generals in the audience, and his heart was not sour. It's not that Le Jin, Li Dian, Xu Huang, and Xu Chu in front of them are not excellent, but compared with the huge Cao clan behind Cao Zhi, whether it is the soldiers in their hands or the generals who are in front of the army, the number is very small.
Hua Wenxuan gasped, how can this be good? He silently counted the famous generals in the Cao clan, the Cao family tigers represented by Cao Ren and Cao Hong, the Xiahou family wolves represented by Xiahou Tang and Xiahou Yuan, obediently, this strength gap is clear at a glance! For the time being, I can't see that among the generals who stand in the team, Zhang Liao and Yu Ban are more famous, but they helped Xun Yu before, and the rest such as Man Chong and Mao Yu have been in power for a long time, and they have been in a wait-and-see state.
Cao Pi's forehead seemed to ooze a layer of shiny fine sweat, and he said calmly: "I have decided to march into Huainan in a few days and pacify Yuan Shu, generals, I don't know what is the best plan?" ”
Xu Huang in the audience glanced at Le Jin and Li Dian, Xu Chu snorted awkwardly and stood up straighter unconsciously. As a close attendant, he had never led soldiers, and he had just been embarrassed in front of the sand table because he couldn't understand the direction, and he couldn't interject at this time.
Xu Huang hesitated, stepped forward, and arched his hand.
"Zihuan Gongzi will wait for a while, and wait for Gongming to take the picture to talk about it in detail!"
Cao Pi bowed his head, Xu Huang took a map of Huainan, and asked Li Dian and Le Jin to help hold it up.
"Huainan locust plague last year, Yuan Shu's military food is unsustainable, there has long been a northward Tuqing Xu through Qingzhou Yuan Tan to Yuan Shao's intention, now the prime minister died violently, Yuan Shu has regained Shouchun. Our army from the southeast of the capital of Xu, will inevitably face the Shouchun wall barriers, the strong attack may be difficult to work, the siege of the city is the best policy, but this year Huaibei has encountered showers, the grain road is blocked, the traffic is inconvenient, and then our army may also suffer from the lack of food! ”
Cao Pi couldn't help but lean back and look at Guo Jia, "In this way, does our army have to wait until after the summer before marching?" ”
Guo Jia opened his eyes, pursed his lips and paced to the front of the map, "If you follow what Gongming said, it is true." Xu Du out of the southeast into Xuzhou, and then south to Huaibei, this march avenue also! However, according to Fengxiao's idea, we can directly go south to Runan, and then march eastward, bypassing Huaibei and attacking the south of Shouchun, entering the plain to lure the enemy and forcing Yuan Shu's army out of the city for a decisive battle! ”
Guo Jia's face didn't show any smugness, but became more and more serious.
"It's just that this is a dangerous soldier, and it is good to fight quickly, otherwise, Yuan Shu in the north, Sun Ce in the south, even if it is Liu Biao's Jiangxia soldiers, it only takes two days to cut off my Runan grain route, if this is the case, the lone army will be dead!"
Cao Pi couldn't help but look nervous, he had been with Cao Cao since he was a child, and he was more proficient in marching and fighting than Cao Zhi, Guo Jia said that Cao Pi was the most embarrassing point now, he wanted to show his strength quickly, but there were no available soldiers in his hands, and he wanted to fight quickly, but he had to face the iron wall of Shouchun.
Cao Pi walked to the edge of the map, looking at the map with a solemn face, Xu Huang said that Huaibei Avenue walked through the plain through the boundary of Xuzhou into the north of Shouchun, all the way to the muddy land; Guo Jia said that going south to Runan and east to Shouchun did bypass the Huaibei quagmire, but the depth of Yuan Shu's sphere of influence was too deep, and the grain road was completely exposed to Sun Ce and Liu Biao on the south side, and the advantage was that he could reach the south of Shouchun in Jiancheng faster, which was a plain, which was more conducive to quick battles.
Hua Wenxuan also walked to the map without saying a word, talking about marching and fighting, these generals in front of him are professional, even if it is this twelve or thirteen-year-old Cao Pi, I am afraid that he must know more, Hua Wenxuan is a game otaku, and he is a master of playing games, but the real sword and real gun marching and fighting are very different from the game, which he knows, Hua Wenxuan still has it.
However, according to historical facts, in the end, Yuan Shu was forced to death by the princes of the world, after all, after Yuan Shu defied the disapproval of the world and openly proclaimed the emperor, Cao Cao's edict of rebellion set off a voice of condemnation of Yuan in the world, and even Yuan Shao of Hebei was eager to cross Cao Cao's territory and rush to Huainan to kill this brother, and Sun Ce took the opportunity to break away from Yuan Shu's control and set up his own door in the three counties in the south of the Yangtze River.
Hua Wenxuan asked tentatively: "This Yuan Shu is now notorious, and the son of Zihuan is edicted to rebel, Sun Ce and Liu Biao shouldn't help the abuse, right?" ”
Guo Jia stroked the mustache on his lips and groaned, "At the beginning of Yuan Shu's claim to be emperor, the princes of the world discussed it, and now he has no soldiers and horses under his command, but it is just a corner of Huainan, but Shouchun is a heavy town with strong grain, and we can't take the slightest advantage by forcibly attacking the city, but if we are trapped under the strong city for a long time, it is inevitable that Sun Ce and Liu Biao will have the idea of being fortunate to enter, after all, Cao Gong has passed away, and the golden signboard of the Han Emperor is not only staring at Yuan Shao in Hebei!" ”
Cao Pi tightened his brows, the clansmen behind Cao Zhi will definitely go to Huaibei according to common sense, after all, stability is the first place to lead the troops, not to mention that now that Cao Cao is dead, most of the Cao family's soldiers and horses are in the hands of the Cao clan, Xun Yu made that big drama before, and the Cao family Xungui felt a trace of threat, they have already desperately gathered military power, and now the soldiers and horses in their hands are nearly seventy, if they come out, even if it is difficult to march, but as long as they can reach Shouchun City, it is effortless to destroy Yuan Shu, and there is no need to be like Guo Jia said, the soldier is a dangerous move.
Xu Huang and others are also uneasy in their hearts, he and Li Dianle Jin since following Cao Cao, mostly in the name of deputy generals or vanguards with the army, sitting in the Chinese army is often Cao's generals, so the available soldiers are not elite, tiger and leopard cavalry and Qingzhou soldiers are all on Cao Zhi's side, if the soldiers are dangerous, once they fall into a heavy siege, it is really possible to beat the horse leather shroud.
Cao Pi glanced at Hua Wenxuan and Guo Jia, his eyes were full of expectation, "If this is the case, what should I do?" ”
Hua Wenxuan thought in his heart, Guangling Chen Deng is the closest to Huainan, and there are two fierce generals Zhang and Xu Shu in between, if it is an emergency, it should be convenient to transfer to help the war, but if it is from Runan to Shouchun, it is the farthest distance from Guangling, if Chen Deng is invited to march into Shouchun, he must first meet Cao Zhi and Cao clansmen who take Huaibei Avenue, that is, Chen Deng is proud of his talents, and the Cao family military order, he can't help but not listen! That is equivalent to Hua Wenxuan laying out the chess pieces and giving them to Xiahoudun in vain!
Guo Jia glanced at Hua Wenxuan, who was still pondering, "Gongzi Wenxuan foresees this event, what changes can be made in this opportunity to discuss Yuan?" ”
Hua Wenxuan snorted, but he couldn't say why, after all, how simple it is in the book, Liu Guanzhang led Cao Cao's 30,000 horses and intercepted Yuan Shu who was advancing north as soon as he arrived at the Huainan border, and forced him to Jiangting. It's useless to compare this and that thing! At that time, Cao Cao was powerful, forcing Yuan Shu to go to Hebei to send the jade seal and the throne to Yuan Shao, now Cao Cao is dead, the threat to the north has decreased sharply, who knows if Yuan Shu will let go of Shouchun and flee all the way north at this time, play the game God perspective, don't make every move in the eyes, in this reality, the eyes of the war are black, and the response depends on guessing, and the ghost knows how to deal with it!
Seeing that Hua Wenxuan didn't answer, Guo Jia looked at Cao Pi and said, "Soldier, fierce!" If Zihuan thinks about it for a few more days, General Xiahou will take Zijian Gongzi south to Huaibei, when the time comes, we will be mediocre people, and Zihuan Gongzi will also stay away from the storage position! ”
Cao Pi pondered for a moment, and unconsciously gnawed his fingers, Hua Wenxuan was also worried, how can this war be like gambling, or the game is simple! But after thinking about it, where there was intelligence information in ancient times, it was time for the sentinels to go back and forth, and the battles could only be predicted, which is why every time a battle was fought, a group of scribes and counselors who could make decisions were brought with them, because it was more about improvisation.
Hua Wenxuan began to regret that he didn't leave Xu Shu behind, if Xu Yuanzhi was there, and discussed with Guo Jia, he might be able to find a more secure plan.
Cao Pi put down his hand, red meat had been gnawed on the tips of his fingers, he looked at Xu Huang and the others, his voice trembled a little,
"When my father was here, he was decisive in killing, obeying the destiny of heaven in everything, not violating humanity, not afraid of the will of heaven, in today's situation, I have little time to think twice, only to reluctantly open the way to the mountains and meet the water to build bridges! The soldiers are in danger of death and come back to life! “
Cao Pi paused, "Xu Huang, Li Dian, and Le Jin listen to the order!" ”
Xu Huang and the others hurriedly put down the map in their hands and knelt on the ground.
"Hurry up the soldiers and horses of the headquarters, set off at dawn tomorrow, and march into Runan, if there is any delay, behead!" Cao Pi looked resolute, and turned his head to look at Xu Chu, "Zhongkang, you are ordered by my army to summon Manchu to go to Runan with you in the starry night to raise food and grass for the army, if Li Tong dares to shirk, he doesn't have to ask for his life, he must cut first and then make up, and be sure to prepare half a moon of military rations before I arrive in Runan!" ”
Li Tong? This name is so familiar! Hua Wenxuan thought about it, yes, I remember that in the Three Kingdoms, this is a famous general who is in the same story as Li Dian and Xu Chu!
Hua Wenxuan was in a reverie, Cao Pi turned his head and said: "The battle of Huainan is very important, if the prince of Wenxuan has leisure, how about being a marching Sima with Feng Xiao by Zihuan's side?" ”
Hua Wenxuan was stunned for a moment, this march and war is not a joke, even Guo Jia admits that this trick is a dead end, you Cao Pi is fighting for the throne, why bother to pull my otaku as a burial!
As soon as Hua Wenxuan was about to open his mouth, Guo Jia grabbed Bai and said: "Wenxuan's son is quick to think, and he dares to be the king with Feng Xiao in front of the hall, such an important battle, he will definitely do his best before and after the saddle, right!" ”
Guo Jia glanced at Hua Wenxuan, his eyes were very ambiguous, Hua Wenxuan couldn't help but scold in his heart: You Guo Fengxiao is really, didn't you force me directly into a corner?
Cao Pijian Hua Wenxuan still did not answer, but what he expected was another answer, coughed lightly twice, turned to Xu Chu and said: "Runan Li Tong is my father's general and meritorious marquis because of his contribution to Zhang Xiu, although you and Manzhong are under military orders, their official positions are not as good as him, I sent He Yan to fight with the army, leaving him to supervise grain in Runan, thinking that it was a shock!" ”
Oops, I'll go! Hua Wenxuan couldn't help muttering in his heart, what bad idea do you think of this hairy child? Is this a brutal kidnapping?
Hua Wenxuan arched his hand stubbornly, "Prince Zihuan understands the righteousness and strategizes no less than Prime Minister Cao, Wenxuan must do his best to help Gongzi win!" ”
Cao Pi smiled at this time and said with satisfaction: "Then! Tomorrow we will open Runan! ”
