Cao Cao's eyes lit up.

Guo Jia is right, Wuhuan people are greedy for money, as long as they give enough money, they can be his dogs to take care of the home.

As long as Su Zhe can be stopped and enough time is bought for him to recover, there is still hope for everything.

Thinking of this, Cao Cao happily flicked his hand and said: "Fengxiao's plan is very good, according to your plan, quickly send someone to the White Wolf City to persuade the Wuhuan people." ”

When the order was passed, Cao Cao's frowning brows eased slightly.

He glanced back at the south and snorted coldly: "Su Zhe, if you have the guts, just come and chase me, this time, I will make you come and go." ”

……

Jicheng.

When Cao Cao's remnants were defeated and fled to Liaodong in embarrassment by the grassland, Su Zhe was already sitting in the middle of this Youzhou state, enjoying the wine of victory.

Cao Cao was defeated, Yuan Tan was killed, and the counties of Youzhou were looking forward to the wind, and they all offered their surrender tables, claiming that they were willing to submit to Su Zhe.

Su Zhe appeased the people's hearts on the one hand, and sent troops to take over the key points of each county.

According to Su Zhe's strategic intentions, he thought that Cao Cao would be trapped in Jicheng, but he didn't expect that Cao Cao also made a strange move, choosing to go north out of the Great Wall, and taking advantage of the Xianbei people's territory to circle the Great Long Road back to Liaodong.

"It seems that Cao Cao's life should not be extinguished, and this can also allow him to escape......" Su Zhe sighed lightly, faintly regretful.

Many of the generals under the seat also felt pity.

At this time, Tian Feng arched his hand and said: "Duke Chu, Cao Cao has fled back to Liaodong, and it is difficult to pose a threat for a while, what Duke Chu needs to do now is to pacify Youzhou and prepare to deal with the joint attack of Dong Zhuo and Sun Ce." ”

Huangfu Song also said: "Dong Zhuo has newly annexed the state, morale is flourishing, and he is eyeing my two states, and he may attack at any time, and Sun Ce in Jiangdong is also gathering troops and horses, and he is going to attack Shouchun at any time, and now it is almost time for us to return to the division and deal with these two major enemies." ”

For a time, most of the strategists in the hall advocated stopping the army and giving up the pursuit of Cao Cao.

Su Zhe's fingertips tapped on the desk, and he was silent for a while.

At this time, Pang Tong said: "Husband, I thought that we should recover Liaodong in one go, completely annihilate Cao Cao, and prevent future troubles." ”

Su Zhe's eyes moved.

The rest of Tian Feng and the others were all surprised.

Tian Feng hurriedly said: "Liaodong is located in a remote area, when the Duke of Chu is on an expedition, Dong Zhuo Sun Ce takes advantage of the situation to attack, but what should he do?" ”

"Yes, besides, Liaodong is not only far away, the mountains are also extremely treacherous, if you can fight quickly, if it drags on for a long time, the grain and grass will be difficult to help, if the two states of Youji are attacked by Dong Zhuo, the consequences are unimaginable."

All the strategists in the hall, every word you say to me is mostly against Pang Tong's proposal.

"Tong'er, since you propose so, there must be your reasons, you might as well talk about it." Su Zhe looked at Pang Tong with trusting eyes.

Pang Tong said slowly: "Although Dong Thief is close at hand, most of his soldiers are cavalry, and they are not good at attacking cities. ”

"As for Sun Ce, let alone that, as long as he sticks to Shouchun, even if Sun Ce has the ability to reach the sky, he will never want to cross the Huaishui and get involved in Xuzhou."

"Therefore, there is nothing to be afraid of these two lines of soldiers and horses, and it should not be a problem for our army to defend everywhere and hold on for five or six months."

Looking back, Pang Tong pointed to Liaodong again.

"Cao Cao is different, this person is extremely deceitful, he uses soldiers like a god, the most important thing is that he occupies Liaodong, there are endless war horses, as long as he is given a chance to breathe, he will soon be able to rebuild a team of tens of thousands of iron horses."

"Moreover, the Hu people such as Saiwai Xianbei are also ready to move, if Cao Cao connects all the departments, he may break through the Great Wall at any time and enter Youzhou. And Youzhou is just a horse Pingchuan, the most use of cavalry to fight, the time when the husband and the hard work of Hebei, there is a danger of gaining and losing. ”

"Therefore, I insist that when Cao Cao's vitality was seriously injured and he had no time to recover, he surprisingly waved his army to the east, leveled Liaodong in one fell swoop, and destroyed Cao Cao!"

Pang Tong made a sprinkling analysis, and analyzed the situation in the world, the pros and cons of the enemy and the enemy, and analyzed it clearly.

Tian Feng and the other strategists also showed a look of introspection, and they all nodded secretly, impressed by the high opinion of this phoenix chick.

Syllable!

Su Zhe suddenly slapped the case, and said resolutely: "What Tong'er said, it is in my arms, Liaodong is our biggest hidden danger, this time, this father-in-law will never give Cao Cao a chance to make a comeback, I will definitely destroy him in one go!" ”

Su Zhe made up his mind, and immediately ordered to gather 70,000 troops and leave Liaodong.

Although he had more than 100,000 troops, considering the distance of Liaodong, too many soldiers and horses were used, and the pressure on grain and grass supplies was too great, so he could only bring 70,000 soldiers and horses.

Moreover, the new state of Youji and Hebei also needs to leave enough soldiers and horses to pacify, and at the same time guard against Dong Zhuo who is about to move in the west.

At that moment, Su Zhe left Huangfu Song, Xu Huang, Guo Huai, Hao Zhao and other generals to lead the various departments to guard the key points and pacify the two prefectures of Youji.

Su Zhe took Yan Liangwenchou, Zhang Liao, Zhang He and other generals who were good at cavalry as generals, led 60,000 infantry troops, and marched eastward with iron cavalry.

The army went out of Jicheng, and soon rushed to Linyu City, and Zhang Liaowen and Chou were the second generals, preparing to take the coastal coastal road and directly take Yangle City, the seat of Liaoxi County.

That night, in the big tent of the Chinese army, Su Zhe summoned all the generals to come and discuss the battle plan for sending troops to Liaodong.

"Duke Chu, Yangle City is only a few thousand Cao troops, there is nothing to be afraid of, but the Wuhuan people in the northwest must be guarded against."

Wen Chou was familiar with the terrain of Youzhou and was the first to give a warning.

"Go on." Su Zhe said with a brush.

Wen Chou pointed to the map and said: "Duke Chu, please see, this coastal road is a long and narrow road, the southeast is the Bohai Sea, the northwest is the rolling mountains of all sizes, the Wuhuan people are entrenched in the grassland on the north side of the mountains, with the White Wolf City as a stronghold, from time to time over the mountains to loot. ”

"If our army passes through the coastal road, it is equivalent to exposing the flank to the Wuhuan people, as long as they are willing, they can cut off our return route at any time, destroy our grain route, and make it impossible for us to crusade against Cao Cao with peace of mind."

"Therefore, if Duke Chu wants to recover Liaodong, he must first solve the threat of the Wuhuan people."

Su Zhe stood up, stared at the map, and was silent.

At this time, Tian Feng took advantage of the situation and said: "The Wuhuan people are extremely fierce, and they can dispatch at least 30,000 iron horsemen at any time, which is indeed a big threat, which is also one of the reasons why Lao Yu did not advocate an immediate crusade against Liaodong that day." ”

Su Zhe's eyes did not waver, his eyes were locked on the "White Wolf City" on the map, and the murderous intent in his eyes gradually surged.

After pondering for a moment, Su Zhe sneered: "Since the Wuhuan people threaten me to recover Liaodong, then I will destroy them first, and then go to destroy Cao Cao." ”
