NO.460 Gather in the Prime Minister's Mansion, Cao Cao points troops
Approaching the end of the year, Xu Ducheng is a little less joyful than in previous years, but inside the city, outside the city military horses are crowded, even ordinary people can also perceive the repeated movements of the imperial court military horses.
Cao Cao's desire to conquer Qingzhou is not confidential, maybe Cao Cao did this, but also wanted to put some pressure on Zhou Yu before the war.
Maybe Jiangdong can take advantage of the previous Central Plains military horses, when they are attacked on all sides, and win a small victory, but the difference in strength between the two is already the difference between cloud and mud, if it is a confrontation with Jingxiang, Cao Cao may still have a little headache, but for Jiangdong's weakness, Cao Cao has always been disdainful.
If Jiangdong relied on the Yangtze River to defend the river as it did a few years ago, Cao Cao never thought of rashly attacking him, but when this naval army reached the ground, in Cao Cao's view, it was no different from the people, and the Qingzhou Jiangdong military horses were only 50,000 when they broke the sky, and these 50,000 "people" even if they relied on the city to be strong, how long could they defend Qingzhou?
Although Guo Jia and Jia Xu repeatedly persuaded Cao Cao not to underestimate the enemy, Cao Cao still felt that these two strategists were making a bit of a fuss, and Zhou Yu was a talent, but if he didn't have decent chips in his hands, how could he resist the imperial army?
Since Guo Jia borrowed money and grain from Jingxiang, Cao Cao ordered the clan generals, diligent in training, and the rest of the wealth, more inclined to the tiger and leopard cavalry, before the battle in Runan, although the Pang Shanmin was scattered in the battle, but the tiger and leopard rode to kill the main general, more than half of the casualties, for this strong army suffered such an ending, Cao Cao was also quite distressed.
So after Xiahoudun recovers from his injury. Cao Cao ordered this person to be the commander of the tiger and leopard cavalry, wanting to revive the prestige of the tiger and leopard cavalry, and to attack Qingzhou, Cao Cao resolutely decided to let the tiger and leopard cavalry enter Qingzhou first, so that Zhou Yu could see what is called a hundred battles, if Zhou Yu is willing to retreat. It's the best!
Cao Cao also didn't want the people of Jingxiang to continue to grow bigger and bigger as they are now.
Everything is busy, and the New Year is not boring. Cao Cao and the generals of the Prime Minister's Mansion mostly traveled back and forth between the court and the military camp, and when they were in the Prime Minister's Mansion. That Cao Cao also said to the generals: Today, there are only three forces left, which one is slack, and which one is defeated.
All the subordinates knew that Cao Cao was not referring to the current affairs of Qingzhou, but the development of Jingxiang Vertical Zi had made the prime minister feel deeply jealous.
Just after the New Year, Cao Cao's generals and colonels went to the Prime Minister's Mansion to discuss matters, and everyone knew that Cao Cao was now afraid that his patience with Zhou Yu had come to an end, and it had been a few months. Cao Cao also hoped that Zhou Yu could understand something, since it was difficult to stop the prime minister's anger, he should honestly return along the waterway, but Zhou Yu is not moving at all, and he has made a careful return. Qingzhou's Jiangdong military horses have moved frequently in recent days, and Xuzhou Cheng Yu has gathered most of the soldiers and horses in the territory at the junction of the two states, in case Zhou Yu suddenly attacked!
On the Prime Minister's House. Cao Cao's face was gloomy, he looked around at the generals in the hall, and said slowly: "Now that Fengxiao has raised all the money and food from Jingxiang, all the money and food are in place, and Cao wants to organize an army of 150,000 and attack Qingzhou!" ”
"One hundred and fifty thousand?" When Xun Yu heard this, his eyes widened, and he said to Cao Cao: "Didn't the prime minister say before that 100,000 troops and horses can be invincible when they enter Qingzhou?" ”
"Cao gave Zhou Lang a chance, but unfortunately Zhou Lang was arrogant, thinking that a small victory would improve the morale of the army, and he could block the military horses of my court

Yu knew that Cao was angry! Cao Cao said in a deep voice: "This additional 50,000 soldiers, the moment of early victory, in Cao's opinion, it is also cost-effective!" ”
When Guo Jia heard this, he nodded secretly.
Cao Cao's decision is very reasonable, if Qingzhou can win quickly, it will be of great significance to Cao Cao. …,
The 150,000 army, mighty, expedition to Qingzhou, although the road consumes countless grains, but it can also demonstrate the current military strength of the Central Plains, so that the Pang Shanmin who is dormant in Jingxiang throws a mouse taboo, and Pang Shanmin has been meeting for three years, Cao Cao has to deal with a lot of major things, so the sooner Qingzhou is pacified, the more beneficial it is to Cao Cao.
Seeing that Xun Yu still wanted to persuade again, Guo Jia coughed lightly, stepped forward, and said to Cao Cao: "In Guo's opinion, the prime minister's idea is very appropriate!" ”
"What?" When Xun Yu heard this, his brows furrowed, and he said to Guo Jia: "Have you forgotten that most of the money and grain for this expedition were raised from Jingxiang, and the money and grain borrowed by the prime minister had to be repaid!" And now that the construction of Yecheng has cost countless money and grain, could it be that Fengxiao plans to turn against Jing Xiang because of this money and food? ”
"Wen Ruo is careful ......" Guo Jia smiled slightly when he heard this, and said to Xun Yu: "If it is usual, what Wen Ruo said is extremely reasonable, but for the current situation in Qingzhou, Wen Ruo's plan is more than safe, and not enterprising enough." ”
Seeing that Xun Yu wanted to say more, Guo Jialang laughed and said: "Wen Ruo, according to Guo, the conquest of 100,000 troops in Qingzhou is the expulsion of Zhou Yu, at least for three months!" ”
"150,000 troops, can the situation in Qingzhou be fixed within two months?" Xun Yu suddenly brightened, but saw Guo Jia shaking his head and laughing: "The more military horses, the slower the march, how is Wen Ruo's account calculated?" ”
"Then you should use 100,000 troops and horses to conquer Qingzhou!"
Xun Yu said, Guo Jia smiled again, and said to Xun Yu: "If Wen only knows one thing, but doesn't know the other, this time to conquer Qingzhou, it is not difficult for the prime minister, these 150,000 soldiers and horses, in addition to conquering Qingzhou, are also to deter Jingxiang!" In Guo's eyes, this Jiangdong is just a disease of ringworm scabies, and Jing Xiang should be the prime minister, and his henchmen are in great trouble! ”
"Then falsely claim 200,000 military horses, and don't waste money and food in vain!" Xun Yu insisted on seeing it, but Xun Yu said it, Guo Jia and Cao Cao looked at each other and laughed.
Xun Yu was puzzled when he saw the two of them having such an attitude, but he sighed lightly when he heard Jia Xu, and said to Xun Yu: "Wen Ruo didn't go to Runan with me before, I don't know that Jing Xiang is so powerful, so I can't blame you for having such a decision......
Xun Yu was still confused, but he heard Na Jia sigh: "Where there are Jingxiang shops, there are many of their fine works mixed in it, my army went out to recruit soldiers and horses, so how can the people of Pang Mountain know?" If it is a fraudulent claim to be a military horse, it is better to repay it with the truth, otherwise it will be spread in the ears of Pang Shanmin, and he will have the opportunity to make a big fuss about this matter! ”
"What article can be done, it is nothing more than a fraud that there are many soldiers, and soldiers are not tired of cheating, there are ancient and modern things!" Xun Yuzheng was inexplicable, but he heard Guo Jia sigh: "That Jing Xiang said that my Central Plains is empty-hearted, and the emptiness of the Central Plains can be calculated from the number of troops. ”
After Guo Jia said that, Cao Cao nodded with a look of relief, and said to Xun Yu:
The unicorn sword reads books quickly
"Wen Ruo, Cao also has a hard time, and I hope Wen Ruo will understand more!"
When Xun Yu heard this, he was terrified, bowed down, and said to Cao Cao: "Now that the prime minister is in trouble, Xun will definitely send this 150,000 army out to fight for grain and take care of it properly!" ”
The 150,000 army marched to Yanzhou, which was also the first time Cao Cao used so many troops after Guandu, and a group of Cao Ying's generals in the hall were also like sharks that smelled blood, ready to move, and in front of Cao Cao, they asked for battle again and again.
Cao Cao saw a group of generals, the meritorious service was urgent, and he was secretly happy, he was previously won by Liu Bei two levels in a row, and he missed in Runan and Qingzhou, but the morale of this army was not declining.
Cao Cao only thought for a moment, and then said to the current general: "This pioneer position should be handed over to Yuan Rang!" Cao wants to revive the prestige of the tiger and leopard ride, I don't know you, what do you think? ”…,
Xiahou is a general in the army, Cao Cao arranged it like this, naturally no one dared to raise objections, but Cao Cao was about to say again, but he saw a strong general, worshiped in front of the hall, and said to Cao Cao: "Qingzhou is vast, all the way to the vanguard, it is difficult to show the majesty of my army, and I hope that the prime minister, appoint a few more military horses, and be the pioneer!" ”
Cao Cao looked at the general, it was Le Jin, and when he thought about it slightly, he understood why Le Jin was like this.
It seems that Wen Qian is still angry about the previous defeat of Qingzhou, if he does not allow his request, but it also chills the heart of the general, thinking of this, Cao Cao laughed loudly: "In this case, Cao also gave Wen Qian a fine ride all the way, and I hope that after Wen Qian enters Qingzhou, he can be invincible and take revenge!" ”
When Le Jin heard this, he was overjoyed, and he hurriedly hugged his fists and saluted, and said to Cao Cao: "Prime Minister rest assured, Le will be cautious this time, and he will not let Zhou Yu take advantage of it in the slightest!" ”
As soon as Le Jin's voice fell, he heard a general and said: "Prime Minister, if you talk about dominating the elite cavalry, who can compare with this general?" Cheng quite added another pioneer, so that Ben will make contributions! ”
Everyone in the hall followed the prestige, and the person who spoke was Cao Cao's relative Xiahou Yuan, who heard that the clan brother asked for war, and also persuaded Cao Cao: "Prime Minister, the vanguard can be given to the general!" ”
Cao Cao nodded when he heard this, Xiahou Yuan has this request, and it is not too much, in the battle of Guandu, Xiahou Yuan performed outstandingly, and now he is entrusted with an important task, everyone should also be careful, thinking of this, Cao Cao smiled at the generals: "Cao personally recruited these 150,000 military horses, and everyone wants to divide them, but they are not polite to Cao at all!" ”
Hearing Cao Cao's ridiculous words, Xiahou Yuan's face turned slightly red and said: "For the matter of sharing the worries of the prime minister, I will not be polite to the prime minister!" ”
"Well said!" When Cao Cao heard this, he nodded and smiled: "In this case, Miaocai also led 5,000 cavalry troops to be the vanguard of our army, Qingzhou is my Central Plains land, far away from Jiangdong, my 150,000 army, three ways to march, let that Zhou Yu take care of one and lose the other, a big defeat!" ”
When the generals heard Cao Cao's words, their expressions were excited, and they only heard Cao Cao say again: "Cao Mou commanded the Chinese army in person, Fengxiao, Wenhe, and the left and right armies, and handed them over to the two of you, can you be competent?" ”
"The prime minister can rest assured!" When Jia Xu heard this, he nodded and responded: "Zhou Yu is lucky to win the last game in Qingzhou, and he has already been favored by God. ”
&
nbsp; When Guo Jia heard this, he also nodded, and said to Cao Cao: "Even if Zhou Yu wants to fight to the death, Guo will not call him and get the slightest benefit!" Guo was careless before, and if he goes again this time, he will be ashamed! ”(
