Chapter 927: Zhou Yu's Soldiers
"Father, this Sima Yi's army is already encamped in Guandu, why don't we take this opportunity to attack Zhaoling again and take the opportunity to take Xuchang?"
When retreating, Cao Ang looked at Cao Cao and said as if he was still unwilling to give up like this.
In Cao Ang's opinion, this is definitely a good way.
Now Sima Yi's army has retreated from Xuchang to Guandu.
So this means that the attention of Xuchang Liu Bian's army will also be focused on Guandu?
And according to the news, the Han army has also transferred 20,000 horses from Xuchang to attack.
Therefore, at this time, Xuchang's emptiness is almost a sure thing, and there is no suspense at all.
At this time, if you go to attack Xuchang, then the probability of success is very large.
Cao Cao glanced at Cao Ang after listening to Cao Ang's words, "Your suggestion is very good. ”
"It's just that do you think that Guo Jia and Liu Wei that you can think of will not be able to think of it?"
Of course, he didn't think about this idea, but it was obvious that this plan was impossible.
Guo Jia and Liu Wei will naturally think of this, not only that, but now that Zhaoling has not been taken, how easy is it to attack Xuchang?
If he didn't lead the army to Guandu, then Sima Yi would definitely be defeated.
The soldiers and horses in Sima Yi's hands were all his own soldiers.
Once Sima Yi is defeated, then the person who will suffer the loss in the end will be himself.
He has already seen the clues of Sima Yi's ambitions, but these have nothing to do with his current self.
If he is defeated, then even if Sima Yi is ambitious, it will be useless to have any plans.
So now I and Sima Yi have a relationship of both prosperity and loss.
Since this is the case, then I must go in the best direction at present.
That is to go to Guandu to join the army, and at that time, if you can defeat Liu Wei in one fell swoop in Guandu, then you can still take Yuzhou.
This time, in the first battle of Guandu, both himself and Liu Wei would evacuate the soldiers and horses in Yuzhou.
Even if Liu Wei is at most, he is to leave some soldiers and horses in some important cities and passes.
But there are still not many of these people, as long as Guandu wins a big victory and annihilates Liu Wei's main force in Yuzhou, then it will be much easier to take Yuzhou.
"The child understands, and everything is up to the father."
In the end, Cao Ang couldn't help but compromise, and looked at Cao Cao and said.
Does he dare to say that Guo Jia and Liu Wei are incompetent, and they can't understand these things at all?
Obviously, this is impossible, if they are all incompetent, then it will not be said that they will be blocked in Yuzhou.
This year may have been the longest war, and now it is gradually coming to an end, which is good for both sides and for the people.
Cao Cao's army also retreated in this way and headed towards Guandu.
Cao Cao was also full of emotion along the way, but there was no negative appearance.
"Cao Jun retreated like this?"
When Xu Huang and Chen Zhi received the news, they were also surprised, and they looked very incredulous.
Although it is said that they will defend the Summoning Mausoleum, Cao Cao's army is overwhelming, and it is very difficult for them to guard the Summoning Mausoleum.
"Gongming, do you think this Cao Cao's army deliberately pretended to retreat, and then they attacked when we relaxed?"
Chen Zhi looked at Xu Huang and asked, in his opinion, this possibility was still very large, so he subconsciously looked at Xu Huang and asked.
"This matter is a little strange, I don't know, you and I better be cautious."
Xu Huang was guarding Zhaoling, and he was surrounded by Cao Cao's army, so he naturally didn't know some news.
Moreover, there are not many people in Zhaoling, they are already very tired and laborious to guard Zhaoling, and they naturally don't have the energy to think about some things.
But as if God knew they had doubts in their hearts, a soldier from outside the city came on a fast horse.
"Report, two generals, a soldier came with an order, saying that he came to deliver a letter for His Majesty."
Soon, a soldier brought the messenger to see Xu Huang and Chen.
"Let him in." Xu Huang didn't hesitate to let people in.
It's just that a person is here, what is there to worry about, as for whether it is sending a letter or not, and what is the content, then you can only know when you meet it.
After getting Xu Huang's consent, the soldier immediately entered the hall, then saluted Xu Huang and took out the letter.
Xu Huang took the letter, and the first thing was to check the authenticity.
When he saw that the odd change did not change, he knew that this belief could not be false.
And the content is not a close matter, this kind of unimportant matter, Liu Wei used some strange words as a code, just told him that the decisive battle of Guandu, Cao Cao's army would retreat.
Xu Huang and Chen Zhi guarded the Zhaoling Tomb and waited for an opportunity, ready to stand by at any time.
At this time, Xu Huang also understood why Cao Cao's army retreated, it seems that it was not pretending, but really retreating, rushing to Guandu.
Xu Huang then told Chen Zhi about it, and Chen Zhi didn't react for a while after hearing it.
"In this way, isn't the crisis of Zhaoling already resolved?"
After a while, Chen Zhi reacted and immediately looked at Xu Huang and said.
Xu Huang immediately shook his head after hearing Chen's words, "Having said that, but it also has to be guarded against, in case Cao Cao comes back again, wouldn't he be caught off guard." ”
Xu Huang thinks that things are generally more rigorous, so Xu Huang is not as optimistic as Chen Zhi thought.
After Chen Zhi listened to Xu Huang's words, he wanted to ask if he would be too careful.
But after thinking about it, Chen Zhi still didn't ask, after all, there is nothing wrong with being cautious when marching and fighting.
What's more, during this time, Chen Zhi also saw Xu Huang's ability, Xu Huang managed the army well, and there was no major problem with his judgment.
The people of Yuzhou continued to assemble in Guandu, but Jingzhou was different.
Zhou Yu's army in Jingzhou was constantly gathering towards Xiangyang, and there was a posture of attacking Xiangyang.
At the head of the city, Gan Ning and Tai Shici watched the size of Zhou Yu's army in the distance increasing, and their faces also became solemn.
"Strategist, this Zhou Yu's increase in troops this time is only 40,000 or 50,000 horses."
Gan Ning looked at the direction of Zhou Yu's camp in the distance, and then sighed to Zhuge Liang.
Obviously, Zhou Yu is also generous this time, this time I am afraid that it is not only the soldiers brought from Jiangdong before, but Jiangxia has also been hollowed out by Zhou Yu.
However, Zhuge Liang is not incomprehensible, once Zhou Yu loses again this time, then Jiang Xia will also be lost.
So now it doesn't make much difference whether Jiang Xia is hollowed out or not.
If anything, it's that the difference is a day or two.
But what Zhou Yu wants is not a day or two, and it is not something that can be satisfied by a Jiangxia.
If he loses, then retreat to Jiangdong and take the Yangtze River as a natural risk, and it will be difficult for Zhuge Liang to enter the army for a while.
But if you win, Jingzhou will be your own.
This is a gamble, such a gamble Zhou Yu is willing to gamble, and he has no other choice.
"This Zhou Yu has gathered troops and horses on such a large scale, it seems that he wants to storm Xiangyang, so we can only defend Xiangyang." After a while, Tai Shi Ci also spoke.
"What's so fearful, now we are in Xiangyang City, there are more than 20,000 people, and Fancheng also has more than 10,000 people, if you want to attack the city, I'm afraid that it is Zhou Yu, and you have to jump a tooth."
Gan Ning said disapprovingly, in his opinion, it would be difficult for Zhou Yu's more than 40,000 people to attack the city.
Zhuge Liang can also understand Gan Ning's words, after all, if it is just a strong attack, a simple attack is the defense of Xiangyang City.
Even the smallest casualty ratio is one to two, and it's impossible.
Because Zhuge Liang has confidence in himself, but Zhou Yu will obviously know this as well, so it is impossible to attack.
"Zhou Yu deliberately let us see this, his purpose is just to confuse us."
