Sometimes, imagination does frighten people.

In fact, since Liu Yi traveled to this Three Kingdoms era, he basically didn't think about the consequences of hanging up one day. No matter what he does, Leo Yi is always full of confidence and never thinks about what happens to him.

And like Xun Yu, Xi Zhicai and other military divisions or generals, although they also had times when they were worried about Liu Yi, they never thought about what to do in the New Han Dynasty if Liu Yi really had any accidents.

Now, Xun Yu thinks about it now, thinking that Liu Yidang really had some accidents, then the New Han Dynasty will really fall apart, and the situation will be out of control. The more he thought about it, the more shocked he became.

"Lord, for the sake of our New Han Dynasty, the minister implores the lord to withdraw the army back to the Tiger Prison Pass as soon as possible, and the lord also asks to return to Luoyang with his subordinates." Xun Yu was a little afraid to imagine it, he didn't dare to imagine the result of the New Han Dynasty without Liu Yi.

However, Liu Yi still said to Xun Yu in high spirits: "Hehe, Wen Ruo, don't you think that now, maybe it is also an opportunity for our New Han Dynasty?" ”

"Oh, my lord, what are the opportunities to talk about now? Steady for the Lord, our New Han Dynasty, the development of Qiē is on the right track, we, there is no need to do any more risky things, no matter what the lord thinks, anyway, if you want to make any moves now, Xun will not agree. Xun Yu waved his hand violently, trying to stop Liu Yi from speaking: "You must know that your subordinates can bear the advice of the ministers of the court. asked Xun to persuade the lord to return to Luoyang. ”

"Uh, Wen Ruo, I haven't even said what it is." Leo rolled his eyes. walked in front of Xun Yu, pressed Xun Yu's shoulder, pressed Xun Yu to sit down, and then put his hands on his shoulders, stared at his eyes and said, "Wen Ruo, maybe, we can come up with a plan." I, Levio, will fake my death once, so on. Yuan Shao and Cao Cao, they will inevitably think that after the New Han Dynasty has no Liu Yi, they can rest assured that they can boldly counterattack our New Han Dynasty and attack us. ”

"Fake death?" Xun Yu was stunned for a moment. But then he shook his head again and again: "No, no, no." No......"

"Wen Ruo, listen to me......" Liu Yi pressed Xun Yu hard again, and said: "Actually, when to kill Yuan Shao, I, Liu Yi, am really not in a hurry." However, it was Cao Cao, Cao Cao's army, that was annoying. In addition to their weapons and equipment, as well as effective means of killing, they are a little worse than our New Han Dynasty. Their military horses do have the strength to compete head-on with our New Han Army. According to the observation that we attacked the Cao army twice in a row before, the soldiers of the Cao army are indeed not much worse than the soldiers of our New Han army, at least, the Cao army is also a tenacious army that can resist bravely in adversity. In a head-to-head battle, our New Han Army can't take too much advantage. Now, since Cao Cao wants to plot against me Liu Yi, let's not be rude. is also the so-called, soldiers, treacherous. Cao Cao made a move, how could we not accept it? ”

"What's more, Xun Wenruo, I believe you also know very well in your heart that our New Han Dynasty is indeed going to have a big battle with Cao Cao sooner or later. Do you think that if you can destroy Cao Cao's True Joy Army now, or wait until the future to fight Cao Cao head-on? Liu Yi let go of Xun Yu, stood upright, and said earnestly: "Wen Ruo, now Cao Cao, even if he is not ready to attack us, he will still concentrate on development, and he will take advantage of the fact that we have not mobilized a large army to fight him for a decisive battle, develop rapidly, recruit troops, and train the army." It can be said that if we let Cao Cao develop like this, after a year or two, even if Cao Cao can't catch up and surpass our New Han Dynasty, he can also develop to the point that it is not far from our New Han Dynasty. When the time comes, we will have a decisive battle with Cao Cao, and it is really hard to say who will win and who will lose. ”

"Uh, what do you want, my lord?" Xun Yu's heart secretly complained, knowing that Liu Yi was afraid of some risky things again.

"I don't want to do anything, I just want to, since Cao Cao thinks that he has a chance to kill me Liu Yi and have a chance to destroy our New Han Dynasty, then, let him come." The corners of Liu Yi's mouth twitched, and he said coldly: "This time, the 300,000 army he dispatched is Cao Cao's most elite military horse, if we can defeat Cao Cao's 300,000 army, then Cao Cao's elite army will also go to seventy-seven-eighty-eight." Before, between Xiangcheng and Lushan, at least more than 100,000 of his real elite military horses were destroyed, and now, he dispatched these 300,000 elites, if we don't seize the opportunity to destroy him, it will be difficult to grasp the opportunity in the future. ”

"Wiped out Cao Cao's 300,000 army? How to extinguish? In Xun Yu's heart, although he didn't agree with Liu Yi's adventure, if he could destroy Cao Cao's 300,000 elites in one fell swoop, this temptation would be really big.

"How to destroy this has to be considered in the long run, I just think that this time, or it will be a good opportunity for us, if we can destroy Cao Cao's 300,000 army at one time, then it means that we don't have to worry about Cao Cao anymore." Liu Yi thought about the plan like an electric flash, and said to Xun Yu: "In this field, how to fight, I have to ask the military advisor to think of a way." ”

"Well, my lord, you have to give some hints. We can't just rely on our current 200,000 troops and horses to destroy Cao Cao's 300,000 troops, right? By the way, if Cao Cao really wants to attack us, then I think he may not only send this 300,000 army, it is estimated that the Cao army in the area of Chenliu and Zhongmu is unlikely to really be replaced, if you add more than 100,000 Cao troops here, then it will be more than 400,000. If Cao Cao still secretly gathers military horses, then it is possible to have an army of more than 500,000, or even 600,000 or 700,000. Xun Yu thought that if Cao Cao was really determined to attack the New Han Dynasty, I am afraid that he would really not just send those 300,000 troops and horses. Thinking about it this way, I'm afraid that I will have an unexpected battle with Cao Cao.

"Don't worry, we can think about it slowly, and we can make a decision in the next few days." Liu Yi looked at the sky, it was already night. Then he said to Xun Yu: "Wen Ruo, you are tired all the way from Luoyang, so it is better to rest first." How about we take the long view tomorrow? ”

"This ...... Well, this matter does have to be carefully referenced. ”

Xun Yu nodded when he heard this.

Liu Yi ordered someone to arrange a place for Xun Yu to live, and he also rested first.

It was this night that Hua Xin had quietly left the Yellow River crossing where Liu Yi was located and returned to Chenliu.

In Chen's official office. Cao Cao was here, and there was Guo Tu together.

Let's be honest. Even Cao Cao himself, he never thought that he would make a big move against the New Han Dynasty and Liu Yi so quickly. Because he's full of calculations. I think so. He is really not the enemy of Liu Yi of the New Han Dynasty now.

However, Guo Tu came and gave him a picture of the prospect that was too tempting.

Seriously, in this world, there is really nothing more tempting to Cao Cao than something that can kill Liu Yi.

It is conceivable that if Liu Yi really dared to risk his life and led people to smuggle across the Yellow River to attack the Yuan Shao ferry on the north bank. With Lewi's current conditions, it is unlikely that there will be too many people. As long as Liu Yi crossed the Yellow River. Then Liu Yi was completely in a desperate situation, the Yellow River was blocked, even if Liu Yi had more military horses, at that time, it was impossible to support him. Then Liu Yi can not only fight alone on the north bank of the Yellow River. When the time came, there was Yuan Shao's army, his own generals, and the help of Cao Cao's hidden masters who had spent a lot of effort to subdue or reach certain conditions with them. At that time, no matter how strong Ren Liuyi's martial arts are, he will definitely not be able to avoid the fate of being trapped and killed.

As long as Liu Yi dies, then the New Han Dynasty will be like a building that has gone to its foundation and will collapse with a bang.

Cao Cao's fear is indeed only Liu Yi, if Liu Yi dies, then the New Han Dynasty will not be worried.

Cao Cao was actually a risk-taker, and when he thought he had the chance, he dared to gamble. It is also because, as Liu Yi and others said to Cao Cao, Cao Cao now believes that he is not the enemy of the New Han Dynasty, so he may not be the enemy of the New Han Dynasty in the future, so if he has the opportunity to kill Liu Yi and destroy the New Han Dynasty now, why should he wait until the future?

What's more, Cao Cao thinks that now that he has just signed a non-aggression pact with Liu Yi, Liu Yi should not have thought of it, and he will do it immediately.

Moreover, among them, Cao Cao believes that his actions will not actually affect the agreement with Liu Yi. Now, in his own territory of influence, no matter how he mobilizes military horses, he has nothing to do with Liu Yi in the New Han Dynasty. If Liu Yi really risked his life and was killed by Yuan Shao and the generals and masters he sent, then he could take advantage of the situation and raise troops to attack the New Han Dynasty. But if Liu Yi did not fall for the plan and did not risk his life, then he can also say that he was just adjusting his military horses, and he did not deliberately send troops to fight with the New Han Dynasty. At that time, the most he can do is to withdraw the generals and horses, and the big deal is that it will be regarded as a drill for his own military horse mobilization. In this way, Liu Yi has no way to accuse himself, and he will not officially start a war with him Cao Cao because of this.

This, whether Cao Cao is a bit speculative, or desperate, anyway, as long as it is an opportunity, Cao Cao wants to seize it, solve Liu Yi once and for all, and destroy the New Han Dynasty.

Therefore, he attached great importance to this operation, and in order to be able to seize the opportunity, he even secretly went to Chenliu in person to command his military horses at any time.

"Mr. Hua, it's hard work, what is the situation of Liu Yi now? Did he plan to kill the Yellow River seriously? As soon as Cao Cao saw Hua Xin's return to Chenliu, he couldn't help but ask Liu Yi about his current situation.

Hua Xin wiped the sweat stains on his forehead, bowed down to Cao Cao and said, "Lord, on the surface, Liu Yi seems to be very cautious, and there is no movement for the time being. And he was indifferent to the pressure we put on him. It seems, not fearing that our army will attack his horses. ”

"Well, naturally, if Liu Yi is threatened by my Cao, it will be a strange thing. However, none of this is important, what is important, have you observed whether Liu Yi has any intention of attacking the north bank of the Yellow River? Cao Cao was noncommittal about this information, he sent Hua Xin to see Liu Yi, and deliberately said to Liu Yi that he would only borrow those Yellow River crossings for Liu Yi for ten days, this was just Cao Cao wanted to give Liu Yi a sense of urgency in time, and give Liu Yi an invisible pressure, so that Liu Yi could invisibly also consider the pressure from his own Cao Army, forcing Liu Yi to think that if he did not seize the opportunity to cross the Yellow River to attack Yuan Shao at this time, he was afraid that he would not have such a good opportunity in the future. As long as Liu Yi has such an idea. Or Liu Yi will be impulsive and lead the army to cross the river to attack Yuan Shao, in that case. His goal has been achieved, as long as Liu Yi dares to cross the Yellow River, then it will be Liu Yi's death.

"That's hard to say. In front of his subordinates, Liu Yi would not reveal his true thoughts at all, and his people were very treacherous. Ostensibly, of course, his military horses. Preparations for crossing the river are still being made. Specifically, His Majesty really doesn't know. When Hua Xin said this, his expression couldn't help but reveal a sinister smile. Hey laughed and said, "Hey...... My lord, when my lord left the ferry today to see my lord, he had already given Liu Yi the map of the river crossing that we had drawn many years ago, as planned. Your Majesty at the time of departure. Our men have already detected that Lewy has sent scouts to reconnoiter the route of the river crossing on the map, and I think there is at least a half-and-a-half chance that Lewy will take the risk of crossing the river. ”

"Oh? That is, is there a half-chance that our plan will succeed? When Cao Cao heard this, he said with joy in his heart.

"Hey......

At this moment, Guo Tu also laughed. said to Cao Cao: "Prime Minister, Guo's grasp of Liu Yi's character." It's still somewhat accurate. Please rest assured, the current north bank of the Yellow River has long been prepared, and is already waiting for Liu Yi to take the bait. He had sent men to reconnoiter now, and he would certainly not be able to detect anything, and he would surely think that the secret crossing was safe, and that it was a ferryman for them to disembark. Seriously, if you hadn't detected it, we really wouldn't have known where we would have been able to cross the river and land from there. ”

"Well, what needs to be done, we have already done it, now, it depends on whether Liu Yi will risk attacking you Hanoi." Cao Cao half-squinted his eyes, pulled his beard, and said to Guo Tu slowly: "Mr. Guo, in fact, Cao Mou is also a little sure in his heart, and he is sure that Liu Yi will take the risk of crossing the river to attack Hanoi." Because, this time, according to the battle report of your battle with the New Han Army. You did a really good job, greatly delaying the attack time of the New Han Army, and the New Han Army did not open the gap in the north and west, so Liu Yi must want to open the gap quickly, then, it will force Liu Yi to take risks. ”

"Yes, our army has had a hard time dealing with the New Han Army, and it is reported that we have adopted such a diversionary tactic, and we have paid a lot of sacrifices, and the casualties are relatively heavy. However, if you hold on for a while, you should still be able to do so. When the time comes, I won't worry that Leo Yi won't take risks. Guo Tu also seemed to be a little embarrassed.

It's really not easy to fight with the New Han Army, that melee is not the enemy of the New Han Army, and the long-range attack is not the enemy of the New Han Army, and the New Han Army seems to be very skilled in anti-ambush, counter-offensive attack, and anti-harassment battles.

"Well, no matter what, if you can destroy Liu Yi this time, your credit is the greatest, and I, Cao, can guarantee that in the future, we will still take the Yellow River as the boundary, and we will not invade each other." Cao Cao said to Guo Tu calmly.

Guo Tu was noncommittal about Cao Cao's guarantee, after all, for Guo Tu, what he hoped more now was to protect his own interests, if Cao Cao could accommodate him and ensure his interests, then after Cao Cao killed Liu Yi, he had no opinion on killing Yuan Shao again.

Guo Tu smiled and said: "Gong Cao, Guo is just a subordinate of Yuan Shao, and the matter between Duke Cao and Yuan Shao in the future should be left to Duke Cao and Yuan Shao to discuss in the future." Guo has no opinion anyway. It's just that I hope that Liu Yi can be destroyed this time, and after that, Cao Gong has to carry Guo Mou, don't forget Guo Mou. ”

"Oh? Haha......" Cao Cao's eyes flashed, and he smiled. In his heart, he seemed to see something, but now was not the time to win over Guo Tu, so he wouldn't say anything more for the time being. Because, every qiē must be based on the premise of destroying Liu Yi, if you can't kill Liu Yi, it's useless to say anything more now.

Before he could do it, Cao Cao paused and said: "Well, three days later, I will order the army to set off from Xudu, and when the time comes, I will definitely force Liu Yi to make him feel a little tense atmosphere." If he doesn't dare to take the risk, then ask him to withdraw his troops and go back to the Tiger Prison. I think, Liu Yi must not be willing to be threatened by my Cao Cao, and the opportunity to take risks will be great, then, Mr. Guo, I Cao Cao can do what I can, the generals and masters you need, Cao Mou also sent them, please go back and tell Yuan Shao, no matter what, even if you do whatever it takes, you will destroy Liu Yi at any cost. ”

"Good! Guo will definitely bring the words word for word, here. Guo wished the prime minister that he would come to Luoyang and unify the Han in one fell swoop! ”

"Good. Cheng Guo's auspicious words, don't send! ”

"Farewell!"

……

The next day, Liu Yi discussed with Xun Yu again.

After a night of thinking, Xun Yu seemed to have a comprehensive plan. It's just that he doesn't know how to tell Liu Yi, after all, the risk is quite big.

He said, "My lord. After a night of deep thought, Xun was almost certain of the conspiracy between Cao Cao and Yuan Shao. It is nothing more than to lure the lord to lead the army to smuggle across the Yellow River, and then arrange military horses to besiege and kill the lord on the other side of the Yellow River. Anyway. their purpose. It must be the lord. If the lord is not fooled, then he Cao Cao will also be a sigh of resignation, and he will definitely not dare to send troops to us, let alone provoke us. But if the lord is really attacked by them, and if he suffers an accident...... Then, Cao Cao will definitely not hesitate to launch an attack on our New Han Dynasty. ”

"Hmm. Okay, then. Let's just say, I, Liu Yi, really fell into their ambush and died. How do you think Cao Cao will attack us? Liu Yi had actually thought about such a possibility a long time ago, but if Xun Yu said it, he would insist on implementing the anti-lure of Cao Cao's military horses and implement the strategy of calculating, which would better persuade Xun Yu to agree and let himself take this risk.

"How Cao Cao attacked us is a trivial matter, the key is how Cao Cao's 300,000 elite army, how can we annihilate them in one fell swoop." Xun Yu paused and said: "For now, it is quite difficult for our current 200,000 New Han army to talk about the 300,000 army that wiped out Cao Cao at once. Xun also thought about it, in our place, or even outside the entire Tiger Prison Pass, there is actually no suitable battlefield that can wipe out the army from outside the pass in one fell swoop. This can be seen from the incident when the heroes raised troops to attack Dong Zhuo. As far as we are concerned, we can only be on the defensive, and if we take the initiative to attack, it will be more difficult. Here, however, is the second risk we are taking. ”

"Oh? Let's talk about it. ”

"The first risk is naturally the safety of your lord. You must know that if you want Cao Cao to be convinced that the lord has died, that is, what the lord said last night, you faked your death. If you want to hide from everyone, the lord must take the risk of crossing the river himself, so that those who participated in the ambush of the lord can see the lord with their own eyes. In this way, when the lord comes, how to fake his death depends on the lord. Only the people who let Cao Cao and Yuan Shao believe that you are really dead. Then Cao Cao may dare to send troops to us. Xun Yu said this, looked at Liu Yi and said: "The second risk is that our army also got the news of the death of the lord, and the army was in turmoil, and then hurriedly withdrew the army, deliberately letting the Cao army follow and kill, pretending to be invincible, and letting Cao Cao Shunzhi seize the Tiger Prison Pass." ”

"What? Are we going to give up even the Tiger Prison? Liu Yi couldn't help but be a little surprised when he heard it.

"Lord, if we really want to annihilate Cao Cao's 300,000 elites, we don't have such conditions before the Tiger Prison Pass, so we can only let Cao Jun enter the Pass. Then, we set it up in the gate. In the direction of Luoyang, there is good terrain for us to arrange the battlefield, as long as Cao Jun dares to come, we will call Cao Jun to come and never return! ”

"Hmm......" When Liu Yi heard Xun Yu say this, he felt a little clear in his heart.

In terms of large-scale killing and wounding of the enemy army, it can be said that there is no princely force in this world that is so good at the New Han Army. As long as there is a suitable terrain battlefield and enough time for the New Han Army to arrange, then when the enemy army enters the ambush circle and the death zone arranged by the New Han Army, then the enemy army will really have no return.

Bed crossbows, trebuchets, etc., all kinds of striking methods emerge in an endless stream, and the enemy army is determined to cry and call his mother.

Cao Cao is suspicious and cautious by nature, and it is really not easy to lure Cao Jun into the ambush circle of his New Han Army, especially after experiencing two consecutive ambushes earlier, I believe that Cao Cao will be very careful.

If there is no news that Liu Yi was assassinated and killed, I believe that Cao Cao would definitely not dare to really attack the New Han Army.

Liu Yi thought for a while and said, "Wen Ruo, I plan to personally lead two thousand elites to cross the river, and then deliberately ambush me, so that at least Cao Cao and Yuan Shao's people can see with their own eyes that I, Liu Yi, have fallen into their encirclement." Then, I can pretend that after the attack, the army is in disarray, and flee back to the river, at which point, I may be properly wounded. Shot down by them on the Yellow River. Hehe, as long as it's in the water, I, Leo, will definitely not die. When the time comes, I will sneak downstream along the Yellow River and escape, and I will not show up for the time being, so that Cao Cao and Yuan Shao's people will think that I, Liu Yi, are dead. In this way, Cao Cao will definitely not be able to sit still, and will inevitably attack us with his army. Next, it's up to you to see what you're doing. I, Liu Yi, dare to take this risk, but your risk is also quite large, because the tiger prison is lost, this is a big deal, in case your arrangement fails to work, if you really let Cao Cao's army kill Luoyang, then it will really shake our foundation. ”

"This ......" Xun Yu said with a bitter face: "Lord, if we follow Xun's consciousness, we really don't have to take such a risk, but Cao Cao's 300,000 elite army gives us a lot of temptation." It's just that Cao Jun really dares to occupy our Tiger Prison Pass and dare to send troops to our Luoyang, then Xun can use his head to guarantee that Cao Jun will definitely be able to make Cao Jun come and go. At least, Cao Jun's 300,000 elites can't escape from Xun's palm. Of course, Xun still needs the help of General Xu Zhu, Yan Liang, and General Wen Chou, and if I can, I want to transfer the new army formed in Wancheng earlier to participate in this ambush of Cao's army. ”

"Okay, if Wen Ruo is sure, then it's nothing for me to take a risk. I Liu Yi's ability You know, in this way, Wei Yan of Wancheng, his martial arts will not be under Yan Liang and Wen Chou, and he can be transferred to participate in the attack on Cao's army. Liu Yi felt that the whole plan was almost mature, and it seemed that it could indeed be implemented.

However, after Liu Yi finished speaking, he thought about it and said with a little hesitation: "Strategist, if this is the case, the two thousand soldiers of the New Han Army who crossed the river with me Liu Yi to attack, I, Liu Yi, am afraid, it will be difficult for me Liu Yi to take care of them." What will happen to them if they cross the river with me? You can't really take them across the river to die, can you? ”

"It's easy to do." Xun Yu said: "If you can exchange the lives of these two thousand soldiers for Cao Cao's 300,000 elites, even if they cross the river and all die, it will be worth it." ”

"No, I, Lewy, don't have the habit of exchanging my brother's life for victory." Leo asserted.

"Don't worry, lord." Xun Yu had actually thought of this situation a long time ago, and said with a suppressed hand: "Lord, the terrain on the other side is complicated, our soldiers, after crossing the river with the lord, when they are ambushed, they can completely flee for their lives, they can escape into those mountains, and it is difficult for those who want Yuan Shao to capture them for a while." That mountain range, along the bank of the Yellow River, stretches for more than 100 or 200 miles, and has been along the upper reaches of the Yellow River to the Taihang Mountains. By the way, Brother Shi also has to protect the Lord with the Lord to ensure that the Lord can escape by the Yellow River before they can escape, and at that time, Brother Shi can lead our soldiers to flee for their lives. ”

"Well, it seems that this is also a way, but before Liu Yi takes them across the river, he must first make it clear to his brothers, and they must be psychologically prepared first, if they are not willing to take risks, then they can not go, and change to someone who is willing to go." Leo Yi nodded. (To be continued......)
