Chapter 1678 - Reinforcements Must Be Sent

Sima Yi handed the letter to Chen Gong and Xu Shu.

After a few people finished reading it, Cao Shuo asked them, "According to you, what should I do?" ”

"The Sun family lost Yangzhou, and now they are only dormant in Jiaozhou." Sima Yi said: "According to me, Gongzi should send troops to fight and subdue them, so that they dare not covet the Central Plains at all." ”

"It's not easy to beat and subdue the Sun family." Cao Shuo shook his head and said, "All we can do is wait for Shiyuan to send a battle report." As for sending troops to Jiaozhou again, we still have to think carefully. ”

"Sun Zhongmou arrived in Jiaozhou, and in just a few days, he gathered an army of 200,000." Xu Shu said: "There are many barbarians in Jiaozhou, he must have surrounded the barbarian tribes, otherwise it would be impossible to have such a huge army in such a short time." ”

"Yuan Zhi's statement coincides with me." Cao Shuo said: "It is precisely for this reason that I am relieved to let Shi Yuan fight this battle. The enemy army gathered in a hurry, they were all a rabble, and as long as they were properly deployed, our army would not necessarily lose this big battle. What's more, Shiyuan still wants Cheng Yu to ask for help, and Xiangyang can send at least 10,000 troops. ”

"Xiangyang sent 10,000 troops, Shiyuan sent troops at most 20,000, and they were all military households." Sima Yi asked, "Childe really thinks there is nothing wrong with this battle?" ”

"The Sun family really doesn't let me worry." Cao Shuo said: "Liaodong and Sanhan are waiting for us to fight. ”

"I think it's best to send a force to help." Sima Yi said: "If the son does not give up, I am willing to lead the troops there." ”

"It's good that you can go." Cao Shuo said: "It's just that when I attacked Liaodong and Sanhan, I wanted to take you with me." ”

Looking at Xu Shu, Cao Shuo asked, "Is Yuan Zhi willing to send troops to help?" ”

"Childe's orders, how dare I disobey." Xu Shu responded: "I am willing to lead the troops." ”

"Yuan Zhi led 20,000 standing troops, and together with Lu Bu, Gao Lan, and Han Meng, several generals rushed to aid Guiyang." Cao Shuo instructed: "First, we must try our best to ensure that Guiyang is not lost, and second, we must ensure that fewer soldiers are buried in other places." ”

"Childe, rest assured, I will definitely live up to my mission!" Xu Shu responded.

Looking at Sima Yi, Cao Shuo said: "It's not that you won't be allowed to go this time, but the day of your marriage is coming, and when you get married, I will take you to attack Sanhan." Now that the Beihai Navy has not yet been built, and the military strength is not strong, I always feel that it is not safe if you are not by my side. ”

"Thank you, childe." This explanation made Sima Yi unable to refute, and he hurriedly responded with his fists clenched.

"Don't delay, Yuan Zhi will immediately lead the army to the battle." Cao Shuo said: "Once Guiyang is broken by the Sun family, our southern gate will be completely open to them. The Sun family has Guiyang, and we will be in trouble in the future.

"I'll go." Xu Shu bowed and bowed, and said goodbye and left.

After Xu Shu left, he sent people to inform the three generals Lu Bu, Gao Ran and Han Meng, and led 20,000 standing troops to the battle.

Sima Yi asked Cao Shuo: "Childe, Yuan Zhi led 20,000 horses to leave, and there are only 10,000 people left in the standing army, attacking Sanhan and Liaodong, I'm afraid the number is ......."

"The rest of the standing army is all left in Shouchun." Cao Shuo said: "Attacking Liaodong and Sanhan, I plan to let the navy practice hands. ”

"Navy?" Sima Yi said: "Half of the navy has been transferred to the South China Sea ......"

"Not so much." Cao Shuo said: "At the beginning, I led the navy to occupy the South China Sea, but it was only a few warships, and most of the navy still stayed in the western part of the strait. The North Sea is desolate, unlike the South China Sea, where it is easy to recruit soldiers. On this expedition, I plan to take most of the navy with me, and as long as I use the military method to defeat Liaodong and Samhan, it will not be a difficult task. ”

"It's good that Childe feels safe." Sima Yi complied.

Looking at Chen Gong, Cao Shuo said: "Gongtai stays in Shouchun, and there is one thing that must be done immediately." ”

"Childe, please." Chen Gong responded.

"The standing army of only 30,000 men is obviously not enough." Cao Shuo said: "You have to recruit soldiers and horses in Shouchun and expand the number of standing troops to 100,000 as soon as possible. ”

"100,000?" Chen Gong was stunned and said: "That will cost countless ...... of money and food."

"Of course I know it costs a lot of money." Cao Shuo said: "However, you can also see that today it is divided into three forces, Liu Xuande in Yizhou, Sun Zhongmou in Jiaozhou, and our Cao family. It is unlikely that future wars will be the same as in the past, with only a small number of soldiers and horses able to break through some cities and occupy some territory. The battle is getting bigger and bigger, and of course I need more and more soldiers and horses. ”

"I understand what Childe means." Chen Gong replied: "In the past few days, I have posted notices to recruit a standing army. ”

"And war horses." Cao Shuo said: "I went out to conquer Jiangdong for a year, and the Huns didn't seem to send war horses. ”

"Tu the Xiongnu and the Wuhuan people to resist the Southern Xiongnu." Chen Gong said: "It is reasonable that the Southern Xiongnu no longer pay tribute to war horses. ”

"Did Tian Yuanhao send any news? What happened to the Tu Ge Huns? Cao Shuo asked.

"I did send some news." Chen Gong replied: "Tu Ge Xiongnu and Wuhuan repelled the Southern Xiongnu, and now Wuhuan has retreated, but Tu Ge Xiongnu is advancing towards Hetao. ”

"Advancing towards the Loop?" Cao Shuo asked, "How many people are there?" How dare you advance to the Loop? ”

"After several wars, Tu Ge Xiongnu captured many Southern Xiongnu warriors." Chen Gong replied: "Now their army has exceeded 30,000 people. ”

"The soldiers are strong, but they are not necessarily willing to be obedient." Cao Shuo said: "Although Tu Ge served us earlier, we still have to watch out for them. ”

Tian Yuanhao also mentioned it in the letter he sent. Chen Gong said: "He also asked Gongzi if he wanted to control Tu Ge? ”

"Why didn't you tell me sooner?" Cao Shuo asked.

"I just got the news, and I'm planning to report to my son." Chen Gong replied.

"Tell Tian Yuanhao, don't be temperate, give Tu Ge the greatest support, and let them grow." Cao Shuo said.

Chen Gong was stunned: "Childe just said ......"

"I mean watch out for them, not to make them stronger." Cao Shuo said: "After Tu Ge is strong, if he is still obedient, it will save us trouble." If they don't obey, I can find an excuse to use troops against them. If you put unstable things around, you have to give them the capital to jump out and make trouble. Without capital, they don't dare, and with capital they don't want to, it's completely different things. ”

"I understand what Childe means." Chen Gong said: "After I go back, I will send someone to send a letter to Tian Yuanhao to inform him of his son's intentions. ”

Cao Shuo nodded: "Everyone dispersed, and they did everything in hand." When Ziwen comes back and consummates the marriage for Zhongda and others, we will send troops to Sanhan. ”
