Chapter Ninety-Eight: Each Has His Own Strategy
Xuchang City··· Cao Cao···
"Report! ——", with a bright yellow order flag behind him, the herald ran quickly towards the Yanzhou state capital, and wherever he passed, the door of convenience was wide open, and no one dared to intercept it;
Although Dongfang Tao Qian's Xuzhou coalition army has become elbows and armpits, it is self-defeating, but the absolute main force of Tao Qian's Danyang soldiers is still hoarded outside Taishan County, and Taishan County Shou Yingshao hooked up with Tao Qian, how could Cao Cao rest assured;
The 10,000 horses led by the two brothers Cao Ren and Cao Hong rushed over day and night, and the appointment to participate in the alliance also became, closely monitoring the dynamics of Tao Qian's Xuzhou department, and once a war broke out, stop him at all costs!
In order to prevent Taishan County from eating inside and out, Li Yu's friend, Cheng Yu, who used to serve under Liu Dai in Yanzhou, also set off in the starry night to cooperate with the Cao brothers to stabilize the situation in Taishan County, and the newcomers Lu Qian and Lu Zike also went together;
To the west is to occupy the danger of Hanguan, the old department of Dong Zhuo, who is blessed by Longshan, is not a reassuring lord, Cao Cao divided 50,000 military horses led by Xiahou Yuan, Xun You drove to Chenliu for the military division, assisted Chenliu County to guard Zang Hong, and acted at the opportunity; Before the army could be drawn, Zang Hong of Chenliu County sent someone to deliver a message;
"Report! Jin Shang united with the remnants of the Black Mountain thieves and the Xiongnu to raise 100,000 troops in Fuluo! From the state of the direct offense of my Chen left the boundary! Lord Zang Hong led the army to meet the battle and confronted the thief army in the sour jujube realm! Please send reinforcements quickly! The herald's voice hurriedly conveyed the main message;
Cao Cao was startled and looked at the herald with a sallow face: "You go down first, have a good rest!" ”
There are also enemies in the north, and now they are really being attacked from all sides, Yuan Shu in the south, Jin Shang in the north, Tao Qian in the east, and Dong Zhuo's old department in the west who are ready to take a bite, Yanzhou's current situation is really stormy;
"Yanzhou is really a place of four wars! There's no such thing as a fight, right? Cao Cao couldn't help but complain with a headache, and slowly thought about countermeasures;
In the south, Xiahoudun and Li Yu led the army to resist, and there will not be too many problems for a while, from the perspective of Cao Cao's thinking, Cao Cao still believes in Li Yu's ability;
Tao Qian also has Cao Ren, Cao Hong, and Cheng Yu to deal with in the east, and Tao Qian himself is also a speculator, so he will not attack Yanzhou too early, and the confrontation will be greater;
Dong Zhuo's old department in the west can call the party's Zhang Yang to resist, and Jin Shang, the Black Mountain Army, and the Huns in the north... The Quartet is attacked by the enemy, Cao Cao can only take the lead if he cleans up one side first and breaks the situation, and the Jinshang coalition is undoubtedly the best breakthrough!
Jin Shang is the two Yuan brothers broke up and formally opposed each other, and after the Kwantung princes formed a faction, Yuan Shu recommended the new Yanzhou pastor in order to enhance his power, Li Dao and Guo Yan gave up the attraction of Cao Cao in order to win over the powerful Yuan Shu, and instead supported Yuan Shu, so Cao Cao was removed from the name of Yanzhou pastor, and Jin Shang was newly appointed as Yanzhou pastor;
This is also a political confrontation, intending to suppress Cao Cao with righteousness and capture Yanzhou without a single soldier;
The actions of the imperial court controlled by the Western Liang Army also made Cao Cao worry that the Western Liang Army had joined Yuan Shu's forces, and it was not unreasonable to worry that they would take the opportunity to attack Yanzhou, and the previous transfer of troops and horses was also because of this;
If you eat it in your mouth, how can you spit it out? Don't have the strength to win Yanzhou with just an edict and Yuan Shu's empty white teeth? Just kidding!
At that time, Cao Cao asked Brother Hua Xiong to pretend to be a robber and teach Jin Shang, who only brought a few hundred people to office, and forced him to escape from Yanzhou, so as to achieve the goal of occupying Yanzhou;
Unexpectedly, Jin Shang gathered soldiers and horses in Bingzhou, and under the conspiracy with the Black Mountain Army and the Huns, he raised troops to respond to Yuan Shu, which further enhanced the strength of Yuan Shu's power and threatened the status of Cao Cao in Yanzhou;
Yuan Shu made a move from all directions, political, military and all in place, if Cao Cao made a slight mistake, what was waiting for him was to lose power and land, and there would be no more competition for the capital of the world!
Guo Jia shook the feather fan lightly: "Lord, these four opponents seem to be powerful, but in fact, the real main force is just two sides, one south and one north, the situation in Chang'an City is complicated, dragons and snakes are dancing wildly, there are many soldiers but different commands, and the generals are fighting separately, no one will come out to attack Yanzhou, even if there is, Hanoi and Shangdang Zhang Yang will also fight with them!" ”
"Tao Qian is just watching left and right, whoever wins will help him, and there won't be too much substantive offense; These two parties just need to pay more attention! ”
"The real danger is the southern Yuzhou army led by Yuan Shu personally, and the northern Jin Shang alliance with the Montenegrin Yu Dang and the Xiongnu Yu Fuluo; In the next suggestion, the lord quickly raised troops, first pacified Jin Shang in the north, and then did a good job of fighting with Yuan Shu for a long time! ”
In the past few days, Cao Cao has been talking very happily, Cao Cao relied on his superior eloquence and generosity to impress these people who took refuge in him, Guo Jia's change of name to the lord is the most obvious performance;
"The Jin Shang coalition army is mixed, and he himself only relies on Yuan Shu's name to become the leader, and he has no strength; The ones who really fought with us were Zhang Yan of the Montenegrin Army and Yu Fuluo of the Huns, and the two sides were evenly matched; As long as the strategy and tactics are appropriate, it is not difficult to pacify them; ”
"After pacifying them, you can remove the covetousness of the east and west, and you can turn your head and compete with Yuan Shu with the front of the defeated Jin Shang coalition army!"
"Good!" , Cao Cao agreed, and at the same time he was a little hesitant;
Xun Yu got up: "The lord is worried that once the army goes out, there will be robbers in Yanzhou?" ”
Cao Cao smiled: "Wen Ruo, who knows me!" ”; Xun Yu was full of confidence: "The lord is at ease, how about leaving this to you?" ”
Cao Cao nodded again and again: "If there is Wen, so-and-so will be relieved!" Wen Qian, Zixiong! ”
"The last general!" , Brother Hua Xiong and Le Jin got up and responded, "Immediately order 50,000 soldiers and horses, and immediately go north!" ”
········ Dividing line
Cao Cao's current military horses are calculated to be 400,000, but the water is very large, only 200,000 are military horses that can be mobilized, and the rest are stationed in the garrison places, large and small counties need officers and soldiers to govern, scattered and scattered, and Cao Cao can mobilize not much;
Fortunately, these adapted Qingzhou Yellow Turbans, Black Mountain Army, and Yanzhou Army are all people who have experienced war, and they are not bad if they do not meet the elite standards;
Among them, the 100,000 people carefully selected by the Qingzhou Yellow Turban are the most strong, and a total of 300,000 Qingzhou troops were originally screened out, and in addition to these 100,000 people, the remaining 200,000 people were scattered in various places to do work such as "urban management law enforcement";
The 50,000 people led by Xiahoudun and Li Yu were half of them, and the same was true of Cao Cao's call this time;
In order to lift the siege of Yanzhou, Cao Cao personally went out and went north to meet the battle!
