In the big tent, at this time, Liu Wei had already asked people to hang up the maps of various passes near Guandu.

Although he is now separated from Cao Jun by the Yellow River, Liu Wei is not worried.

Because this is not the same as the situation when we marched into Liaodong to cross the river.

As the so-called thousands of miles of the Yellow River, where can it not be crossed?

Guandu is located in the upper reaches of the chasm, on the verge of Bianshui,

The chasm canal connects the tiger prison in the west, Gong, Luo Yao Pass, and Huaisi in the east.

"From the perspective of the position of Guandu, if our army can win the battle of Guandu in one fell swoop this time, it can drive straight into Xuchang for a long time."

After a while, Xi Zhi looked at Liu Wei and said.

Liu Wei nodded after listening to Xi Zhicai's words, indeed from the perspective of the position, Guandu does have such a geographical position.

Now that I am on the north bank of the Yellow River, to be precise, I have not completely reached Guandu, but I have reached the extensive area of Guandu.

"Your Majesty, now that our army and Cao's army are fighting in Guandu, there are several unfavorable places, and Your Majesty still needs to pay more attention."

After a while, Xi Zhi looked at Liu Wei and reminded.

After listening to Xi Zhicai's words, Liu Wei also understood what Xi Zhicai meant.

The Battle of Guandu this time is not the same as the Battle of Guandu in history, and it can be said that it has changed dramatically.

Cao Cao took the initiative in this battle of Guandu, but on the contrary, he did not take the initiative, so all the major passes on the south bank of the Yellow River are now occupied by Cao's army.

Cao Cao occupies these important passes, so that is to say, the first step for himself now is to hold the pass that he controls.

Then, at the same time, take the pass occupied by the Cao army, so that the army can press in and really occupy a favorable advantage in the decisive battle with the Cao army.

"Your Majesty, Liyang is located on the north bank of the Yellow River, this pass is advantageous to our army, and our army occupies a favorable position on the north bank, so we can take Liyang first."

After listening to Xi Zhicai's words, Liu Wei looked at the map in front of him and nodded, "I don't know which general is willing to lead the army, occupy Liyang, and win this first achievement?" ”

After Liu Wei finished speaking, he looked at everyone, and then looked around.

"Your Majesty, the last general is willing to go." At this time, everyone responded to the request for help.

"Your Majesty, let Xingba go, since he entered His Majesty's command, Xingba has not made meritorious contributions, and today I would like to ask for a battle."

Gan Ning looked at Liu Wei and said very sincerely.

After Liu Wei heard this, he also nodded, it is true that he has always regarded Gan Ning as the person who will lead the naval army in the future, so he did not let him participate in the war.

"In this case, then this trip to Liyang will be carried out by Xingba."

After thinking about it, Liu Wei said that since Gan Ning said so, if he still didn't agree, it would discourage Gan Ning's enthusiasm.

He didn't want Gan Ning to have a mind that would not be reused, otherwise he would easily lose such a talent.

"Thank Your Majesty, Gan Ning will live up to Your Majesty's trust." Gan Ning immediately replied.

At this time, Cao Cao's camp was also discussing the next strategy just like Liu Wei's camp.

"Although our army has 150,000 people now, it has an advantage, but the Han army is also not to be underestimated, I don't know what you think about it later?"

In the big tent, Cao Cao took the lead in looking at everyone and asked.

"In my opinion, now that we have the advantage, we should simply take Liyang first, and then march from Liyang, take Jizhou directly, counterattack as a defense, and catch him off guard."

After Xiahou Yuan listened to Cao Cao's words, he was the first to speak.

Since the last battle in Xingyang, he has no good impression of the Han army, and what he wants most every day is to be able to defeat the Han army.

"I think this plan will work, Cao Gong might as well let our brothers take Liyang and the Han army for you."

Xiahoudun was the first to respond, agreeing with the strategy proposed by Xiahouyuan.

After Cao Cao listened to Xiahou Yuan and Xiahou Yuan's words, he just smiled and did not answer.

Instead, Cao Cao looked at everyone again, "What do you think of this suggestion?" ”

"I suggest that I look at it, but this Liyang is the first merit, I should be allowed to go." Cao Hong also spoke at this time.

There is nothing wrong with this suggestion, but it can only be achieved if he goes in person.

Cheng Yu glanced at Cao Hong and shook his head, Cao Cao actually asked like this, so obviously Cao Cao did not agree with this point of view.

It's just that Cao Cao didn't want to say no in person, so he asked.

Moreover, there seems to be nothing wrong with attacking Liyang, but there are many inconveniences.

"My lord, Liyang is located on the north bank of the Yellow River, although it can pass through Jizhou, but it must be difficult for our army to occupy Liyang." Cheng Yu took a step forward, then looked at Cao Cao and said.

"Besides, even if we take Liyang for a while, it is inconvenient for our army to hold on, no matter whether there are many people or few people, they will eventually be attacked by the Han army, so Liyang is meaningless to our army. Or rather, the gains outweigh the losses. ”

Cheng Yu looked at Cao Cao, then glanced around at everyone, paused, and spoke.

Of course, it was not so much to look around at everyone, but to look at Xiahou Yuan and others.

Obviously, Cheng Yu's explanation was not for Cao Cao, but Cheng Yu was ostensibly for Cao Cao, but in fact he explained it to Xiahou Yuan, Xiahou Yuan and others.

After Cao Cao heard Cheng Yu's words, he nodded with a satisfied smile, "What Zhongde said is good, since there are so many drawbacks, Liyang is not feasible. ”

After Cao Cao said this, he looked at Xiahou Yuan and the others, and it could be regarded as giving them an answer.

After hearing this, Xiahou Yuan immediately felt a little displeased, and Cheng Yu was against him everywhere.

"Since Mr. said, this is not good, then it is not possible, then I don't know what Mr. thinks?"

Xiahou Yuan looked at Cheng Yu and said angrily, in his opinion, Cheng Yu was probably deliberately unable to get along with him.

Cheng Yu naturally felt Xiahou Yuan's displeased tone.

But obviously he was helpless about this, after all, even if Cao Cao didn't intend to refuse, he, as a strategist, would deny this decision.

Cheng Yu didn't answer Xiahou Yuan's deliberately provocative words, because for the time being, he really hadn't figured out what to do next.

Now that the initiative is on their side, if they take a wrong step, they are likely to lose these advantages and may even be defeated.

Therefore, without a relatively perfect and reliable strategy, Cheng Yu will not put it forward.

Seeing that Cheng Yu stopped talking, Xiahou Yuan felt a little relieved.

I thought you had a good plan, but it turned out that you just rejected your decision.

Cao Cao set his sights on Sima Yi and Sima Lang.

"Sima Lang, what do you think?" Cao Cao looked at Sima Lang and took the initiative to speak.

After all, no matter what, Sima Lang is older than Sima Yi, no matter whether Sima Lang really minds or not, asking Sima Lang first can be regarded as respect for him.

In this way, it will be a good impression for both of them.

"The minister also disagreed with Liyang's trip, because before our army entered Liyang, the Han army would already occupy Liyang."

Sima Lang seemed to have expected Cao Cao to ask generally, so after Cao Cao asked, he immediately spoke.

After hearing Sima Lang's words, Cao Cao was also stunned, originally he was just a symbolic greeting and asking.

But then Cao Cao understood, I'm afraid this should be Sima Yi had expected that he would ask Sima Lang, so he told him how to answer.

It's already this time, and Cao Cao naturally can't care about it so much, so he can only continue to listen to what Sima Lang has to say.

"Liyang is meaningless to our army for the time being, but our army can be secretly deployed in the next place after the Han army takes Liyang, and it will definitely be caught off guard at that time."

Sima Lang looked at Cao Cao and continued to speak, of course, these were all just as Cao Cao thought, Sima Yi told him.

He also believed that Cao Cao would not mind this, and Cao Cao had already guessed it.

Cheng Yu and Cao Cao's eyes lit up after hearing this.

Taking retreat as advance and abandoning Liyang, but being able to seize the opportunity in the next step, is undoubtedly a good decision.

However, the most important thing in this plan is to be able to guess Liu Wei's next choice.

"This is it." Sima Yi sneered at this time, as if he had seen their thoughts, and then spoke.
