Chapter 816 intends to challenge the forbidden army
"There is news from the lord, let our army withdraw from Taishan County and go south to join the army of the military division and General Guo Ziyi."
Cao Bin said in a deep voice, Cao Wei's life and death are unknown, and the news that Cao Bin is dead nine times out of ten, Cao Bin already knows, although he is angry and uncomfortable, but Cao Bin is still able to accept it today.
"Didn't the news from the other two days let us stay in Taishan County?" Lejin asked puzzled.
The others didn't look at Cao Bin either, waiting for Cao Bin's explanation.
"Because of the accident, a group of soldiers and horses entered Shanyang County and raided Changyi City, General Xu Chu did not know whether he was alive or dead, the lord had retreated into the Liang State, and according to the letter, Sun said that the military division was also leading the troops to retreat to the Liang State." Cao Bin explained.
"So the lord is planning to let us go to the Liang Kingdom?" Xiahoudun asked.
"This is just one of them, the lord thinks that the soldiers and horses that raided Changyi may go to Xuzhou, and the lord means to let our army go south to intercept and kill that army by the way." Cao Bin replied.
"Once you choose to intercept and kill, that army and horses, then our army will inevitably stay in one place and disperse, but I am afraid that the current situation is difficult to do." Lejin sighed.
"Do you mean the army that appeared in Lanling?" Cao Bin asked.
"That's right, if it's just Xu Huang's army, our army will be able to contend with it, no matter where it is confronted, it will be the same, but the appearance of people and horses in Lanling will add some variables to our army."
Le Jin said worriedly,
"What do you think, sir!"
Cao Bin set his sights on Cheng Yu.
"If the expectation is good, the soldiers and horses that appeared in Lanling should be Liu Wei's forbidden army from the sea."
As soon as Cheng Yu opened his mouth, he directly named the identity of Liu Wei's army.
"Forbidden Army?"
"From the sea!"
……
The generals in the entire hall were shocked by Cheng Yu's words.
"Please also ask the gentleman to solve my doubts!" Cao Bin said politely.
"More than a year ago, we learned that Liu Wei asked a large number of forbidden troops to go to the beach for training, and Liu Wei's forbidden army has not appeared since the start of the war, so it is speculated that the Lanling army is Liu Wei's forbidden army." Cheng Yu explained.
"How many soldiers and horses does that gentleman think Lanling will have?" Cao Bin asked.
"Liu Bian's forbidden army is not much, Yanjing is the foundation of Liu Bian, Liu Biao will not let the forbidden army pour out, and the forbidden army in Lanling should be about 30,000 people." Cheng Yu replied.
"People can be trained to be able to adapt to the sea, but war horses may not be enough, so in this way, the 30,000 forbidden troops will not have war horses." At this time, Yingbu suddenly spoke.
"Exactly!"
Cheng Yu thought for a moment and nodded and said.
"In this way, to a certain extent, the strength of the 30,000 army is greatly reduced, not even half of what it used to be, and even if there are war horses, it will definitely not be too much, after all, in this war, the war horses of Xuzhou, Yuzhou, and Yanzhou are all concentrated."
Ingbu spoke again,
"Does General Yingbu have any plans?" Cao Bin asked curiously.
"The soldiers and horses went to Xuzhou, most of them knew that the forbidden army would come from the sea, their goal should be on the seaside, and if they want to go over, they must pass through Donghai County or Pengchengguo." Yingbu said unhurriedly.
"Indeed!"
Lejin said approvingly.
"I think our army can be divided into two, all the way in the East China Sea, and all the way in Pengcheng." Yingbu came up with his own idea.
"But at that time, if Xu Huang's army catches up, won't our army be exposed to the enemy on its back, and even go to the East China Sea, where the men and horses will be in danger of annihilation." Cao Bin frowned and said.
"May I ask you, does Xu Huang know that there is a forbidden army in Lanling?" Yingbu asked in a deep voice.
"Judging from the current situation, Xu Huang shouldn't know about this matter yet." Lejin replied,
"In this case, do you think Xu Huang is pursuing our army without knowing it or choosing to take Taishan County steadily?" Yingbu asked again.
"Xu Huang's use of troops lies in stability, no accident Xu Huang should take Taishan County first, and then act." This time it was Xiahoudun who answered.
"Our army left suddenly, Xu Huang will not act rashly in a short time, and he dares to assert that Xu Huang wants to take Taishan County, and then wave his army forward, as short as ten days, and as long as one month." Yingbu said with certainty,
"That's true!"
It was Cheng Yu who spoke this time.
"So we have time to stop the men who are attacking the lord." Yingbu said affirmatively.
Everyone nodded when they heard this,
"Our army can't completely waste time on intercepting that group of men and horses, so let's limit it to five days, and if we don't find that group of men and horses within five days, we will immediately wave our troops to the west to join the Lord." Yingbu continued,
"This plan works, but I don't know who will go to the East China Sea! Who's going to Pengcheng! ”
Cheng Yu looked at Yingbu meaningfully.
"Sir should understand Yingbu's thoughts, Yingbu is willing to go to the East China Sea." Yingbu naturally knew that his thoughts had been seen clearly by Cheng Yu, but fortunately he said it frankly.
"Is General Yingbu planning to go to meet the forbidden army of Lanling?"
Cao Bin frowned and asked, Cheng Yu's words and Yingbu's answer made everyone guess Yingbu's plan.
"It is rumored that Liu Wei's forbidden army is his most elite soldiers and horses, this time they have no war horses, and their strength has been greatly reduced, which just let me see, after all, the opportunity is rare."
Just like he didn't hide it from Cheng Yu, he didn't need to hide it from Cao Bin. After a pause, Yingbu said again,
"Maybe Liu Wei is also in Lanling!"
"The forbidden army has no war horses, and our army is invincible to a certain extent." Xiahoudun said.
"Okay, since General Yingbu has this idea, then General Yingbu will lead 30,000 troops to Donghai County."
Cao Bin thought for a while and agreed to Yingbu's request, and he also felt that in the face of the forbidden army without war horses, Cao Jun was invincible.
After this period of fighting with Xu Huang, Cao's army has been reduced from more than 80,000 people to only more than 60,000 people, and it is only just in its early stages.
"I wonder which general wants to go to the East China Sea with General Yingbu?" Cao Bin asked, looking around.
"The last will go!"
Cao Chun took a step forward and said, in addition to Cao Chun, there is also an ordinary general.
"Okay, then General Yingbu will lead 30,000 troops into Donghai County."
"No!"
"Time is pressing, we should have acted earlier, now you can go and make arrangements, try to leave within two days." Cao Bin said in a deep voice.
"No!"
……
Wu Jun,
"General Jia Fu can return safely, what a gratifying congratulations!"
Jia Fu's return made Cao Ren and the others breathe a sigh of relief, once Jia Fu died, Cao Ren could not guarantee whether Wu County could still hold it.
"This time it's really thrilling, Xiang Yu's strength is beyond the reach of manpower!"
Jia Fu sighed that Jia Fu was still apprehensive about the war with Xiang Yu at this time.
"It's not that Xiang Yu is invincible, Li Yuanba of the Tang Kingdom, and Li Cunxiao under Liu Wei are all characters who can compete with Xiang Yu, but none of them belong to my Yanzhou!"
Cao Ren said helplessly,
"Now even if our army retreats to Wu County, it may not be safe, we must notify the lord as soon as possible, and let the lord decide." Cao Hong said.
"The lord has already fallen into disadvantage, and if he notifies the lord again, it will only distract the lord, which will lead to unimaginable consequences."
Cao Ren flatly rejected Cao Hong's proposal.
"If Jiangdong is gone, the lord's back road will be gone, everything will be over at that time, why can't you tell the lord, if the lord retreats to Jiangdong, there will be a glimmer of hope, if Jiangdong is gone, Yanzhou, Yuzhou is gone, then there is really nothing."
Cao Hong did not show weakness at all, and immediately refuted Cao Ren.
"Where did the lord raise his army? It is in Yanzhou, Yanzhou is the foundation of our army, where are the generals and soldiers of our army? Most of them are people from Jiangbei, most of them don't know water, you let them come to Yangzhou, how can they adapt, not to mention that Jiangdong has not been lost, and he Xiang Yu may not be able to kill in. ”
Faced with Cao Hong's rebuttal, Cao Ren did not compromise at all, and immediately refuted.
"Strategist, what do you think?"
