Chapter 333: Sima Offers
"Or else? Is there any other option? Liu Wei looked at Zhao Yun's surprised look and asked rhetorically.
These grain trucks are the most convenient and fastest if they are converted into chariots, and this is the only one in the entire barracks that is the easiest and most suitable.
After listening to Liu Bian's words, Zhao Yun also understood what Liu Biao meant, but if this thing can really be modified, the power is indeed not to be underestimated.
"Zilong, you can find the craftsmen in the general's camp for me."
Then Liu Wei looked at Zhao Yun and said, since you have this idea, what if you don't try it.
Since the start of the war, he has been pressed and beaten by Cao Cao and Sima Yi, although he has also achieved some victories, but the price paid is not small.
There are even some that depend on luck, otherwise they may not really win.
Zhao Yun answered and left, and Liu Wei also returned to his big tent at this time.
Anyway, if Zhao Yun gathers the craftsmen later, he can come directly to the big tent to find himself.
In the big tent, Liu Wei looked at the map in the big tent, and the battle of Guandu was still not optimistic for him.
Although some of the passes near this Guandu were occupied by themselves, Cao Cao's subordinates also contained many passes.
More importantly, Cao Cao now has a considerable advantage in the number of his army.
This advantage has not been completely narrowed by itself.
"Your Majesty."
"Zhicai, you're here, what's the matter?" After Liu Wei saw that Xi Zhicai had come in, he asked out loud.
During this time, it was all Xi Zhicai who was co-ordinating, guarding against Sima Yi's strategy.
"When the minister just came over, he saw that Zilong was gathering craftsmen, and I heard that His Majesty was going to change the grain cart into a chariot?" Xi Zhicai looked at Liu Wei and replied.
"That's right, Zhicai came here today for this matter? Is there something wrong? Liu Wei didn't expect Xi Zhicai to ask about this, so he asked rhetorically.
"That's not it, the minister just happened to ask." Xi Zhicai waved his hand and said with a smile.
"The minister came today just to tell His Majesty that Cheng Yu has been escorted to the direction of Guandu, and the grain and grass have also set off, and General Huang Zhong personally led the men and horses to escort him."
"That's good, I have always been relieved of Fengxiao's arrangement." Liu Wei said with a smile after listening to Xi Zhicai's words.
"I thought you had any opinion on this change of grain cart, and I thought it was inappropriate."
Xi Zhicai smiled and shook his head, this is not something that cannot be tried, so naturally there is no reason to object.
Moreover, these grain wagons, even if they are not used, will eventually be destroyed.
"When Cheng Yu is about to be escorted to the camp, you can release the news, and I don't believe that Cao Cao will be indifferent." Liu Wei then looked at Xi Zhicai and instructed.
Cheng Yu is so loyal to Cao Cao, Liu Wei believes that Cao Cao will definitely not ignore it, otherwise it will chill others.
"Understood." Xi Zhicai nodded, of course he knew what Liu Wei meant, that is, he wanted to use this Cheng Yu as bait.
However, although this bait is good, it must also be well laid out.
"Your Majesty, Zilong has already brought all the craftsmen."
After a while, Zhao Yun's voice was already ringing outside the big tent.
"Come in." Liu Wei got up happily, "Zhicai, are you interested in taking a look with me." ”
"Then the minister will wait and see." Xi Zhicai said with a smile after hearing Liu Wei's words.
Soon, the craftsman followed Zhao Yun into the big tent.
"I've seen Your Majesty." The people saluted.
"No need, Duoli, I think General Zilong has already made it clear what I am looking for you to do, right?" Liu Wei looked at a few people and asked.
"It's all made clear." The craftsman at the head replied.
Zhao Yun had already said it before coming here, and they also knew what their majesty thought.
I have to say that since he entered the barracks, he has found that he has built a lot of strange things.
"Now that it's all clear, I wonder if there's a problem?"
For this chariot, Liu Wei naturally has no drawings and will not be specific, after all, he has never seen this thing in modern times.
"Please also ask Your Majesty to give you three days to try it out, and then give Your Majesty an answer." The craftsman at the head thought for a moment and spoke.
Although it is said to be modified, it also needs a certain role.
"Yes, I understand." Liu Wei nodded, this request is not too much, after all, craftsmen are also people, and they can't conjure things out of thin air.
Besides, the time of three is not too long, and it is still acceptable for me.
…
Cao Jun camp.
After a few days of fighting, neither side took advantage of anything, which made Cao Cao a little displeased.
The soldier has an advantage in numbers, but he has not found a advantage, and from this point of view, he still suffers.
"Now that the war has been stalemate for a long time, I wonder what your best plan is?" Cao Cao looked at everyone and asked.
Now that the war has begun, there have been victories and defeats for each other, but in general, they have suffered losses.
The longer the war stalemate, the more unfavorable it is for himself, and since the death of Liu Xie, the king of Chen Liu, his reputation has plummeted.
Ordinary people can not mind too much, but the family can't ignore it, Cao Cao is still very clear about this.
"As the so-called three armies have not moved, the grain and grass go first, and if you want to come to the Han army, the grain and grass also need to be remobilized, if you can destroy the grain and grass, it will retreat."
After listening to Cao Cao's words, Sima Yi said, this battle has been too long, and it should be over.
"Hmm." Cao Cao nodded after hearing this, "It's exactly what I want, this battle has been going on for too long, and I'm worried that some people are starting to get restless." ”
When he said the second half of the sentence, Cao Cao's voice couldn't help but become sharp.
Sima Yi naturally knew what Cao Cao meant, and it was true, so he didn't plan to continue to delay this time.
I was careless before, and let Liu Wei take the white horse, but such a thing naturally can't be let happen.
As long as Guandu fights and wins the final victory, then the loss of the white horse is nothing.
"Now that Liu Wei can mobilize grain and grass, it is only Jizhou, and the two places in Jizhou, as long as the time can take the place where he stores grain, or cut off his grain transportation route, he will retreat."
"Zhongda, although your words are good, but if we can't be sure where they are transporting grain, what can we do?"
Sima Lang frowned and looked at Sima Yi and said.
In the first few times, although Sima Yi was able to strike first, he still couldn't give the Han army a fatal blow in the end.
Sima Lang felt that a large part of the reason was that Sima Yi was too confident, because self-confidence made him ignore some details.
So Sima Lang felt that if Sima Yi could change this, then in the end, his ability would be even better.
However, Sima Lang also knows that the reason for Sima Yi's character may have something to do with age.
However, he believes that as long as he continues to temper, Sima Yi will definitely get rid of this defect of him at that time.
"This big brother doesn't have to worry, since we have taken in Zhang Baiqi, then naturally we have to use it and let him play a role."
Sima Yi looked at Sima Lang and replied with a smile, but although he said that he was answering Sima Lang, it was better to say that Sima Yi also said it to Cao Cao and to everyone.
Cao Cao frowned when he heard Sima Yi's words, his ability to ride Zhang Bai was greatly reduced, how much he swore by Zhang Baiqi last time, but the final result was like this.
When Sima Yi saw Cao Cao like this, even if he understood Cao Cao's thoughts, he immediately smiled.
"The lord doesn't need to worry, although Zhang Baiqi is a waste, but even so, he still has the value of use."
Sima Yi's face was light, and Zhang Baiqi was resting in the camp at this time, so he naturally didn't know.
"What does Zhongda mean?" Cao Cao listened to Sima Yi's words and asked, he knew that since Sima Yi said so, then it must have been an idea.
Now that Zhongde is gone, more of them rely on Sima Yi temporarily.
"According to the time, the time for Lord Cheng to come over is about the same, if the prediction is correct, the Han army must also be transported from Jizhou this time."
Sima Yi looked at everyone and continued to order, "Then there will definitely be a gap between Lord Cheng and the transportation of this grain and grass, and then the lord will be able to let him move." ”
Soon Sima Yi informed Cao Cao of the plan, and Cao Cao's eyes flashed with appreciation when he heard it, "If this is the case, this plan can be achieved." ”
