Chapter 142: The Matter Between Victory and Defeat

"Grain and grass! Food and grass are still insufficient! Lord! It's not complaining, if we capture Chang'an, there are still more than a million soldiers and civilians there to support us, Yanzhou currently has three million new stones, grain and grass, but this is also a gap that is not enough for us, when the time comes, we will not be able to support so many people even if we strangle our necks! ”

Mao Jue said his thoughts without scruples, this is allowed, when the current political combination of Yanzhou decides on another thing, everyone must agree to implement it, of course, Cao Cao is still the boss, he will listen to these opinions very carefully, and then make a decision, there will be no such impulsive decision; "If we can't supply these soldiers and civilians at all, even if we take down that piece of land, it will be wasted, although we are now looking at the influence value of the Han Emperor, but we can't ignore the survival of the people! As Huaide said: Xing, the people are bitter! Death, the people suffer! I still hope that the lord will think about this matter carefully! If not... It's okay for us to delay it for a year! Mao Jue sat down after giving a salute, quietly waiting for Cao Cao's decision; It's not that hard to solve! We can buy it! Wei Hong got up: "I am willing to donate all my family wealth, plus the millions of money generously taken out by the old lady, we can go to the rich Shuzhong and Jingzhou to buy grain and grass!" In my estimation, I can buy at least five million stone grain and grass! ”

"Hmmm! Very good! Cao Cao approvingly gave Wei Hong an encouraging look; Now Cao Cao can't give too much revenge to these generals and ministers, but they don't care, they only value Cao Cao's future more, is it interesting to care about these petty profits now? Boring! These investments will be doubled in the future! Definitely worth it!

"Hyo-seon's problem solved, is there anyone else who has a problem?" After Cao Cao looked around, he nodded: "Then let's talk about the issue of marching into Chang'an!" It is known that the person who held the Han Emperor hostage in Chang'an was Dong Zhuo's old department, and Xiliang Xiaojian, led by Li Dao and Guo Yan, had more than 200,000 yuan, which was not a bone to gnaw! We also have to worry about the life and death of the Han Emperor, and we can't let go of our hands and feet; How will this war be fought? Everyone can have a voice, speak freely, and don't be inhibited! ”

After Cao Cao finished speaking, no one with big eyes or small eyes spoke, and the matter of formulating a strategy is not something that ordinary people can do; Li Yu was thinking about something there, and he looked up! Okay! All looking at him!

"Ahem, ahem!" , Li Yu coughed a few times, he didn't understand this meaning, but he really lived in vain: "Then I'll throw bricks and lead the jade first!" Let me start by talking about our strengths and weaknesses and what we can gain, which I have already said. ”

"Our advantage is that we have three allies, and they are allies who can contribute, first of all, Ma Teng and Han Sui of Xiliang, Ma Teng has always claimed to be a descendant of General Fubo and Ma Fubo, and has always shown his loyalty to the Han Dynasty, whether it is true or not, this time we will raise troops to King Qin, we must contact him, he will inevitably respond, he can completely create strong conditions for us to attack Tongguan from the west!"

"Secondly, Hanoi and Shangdang's Zhang Yang, he is also the army that once entered King Qin, and he has sent troops alone, this person is loyal to the Han court, and he can be used by us to further enhance our strength and momentum!"

"Also, there are still a lot of princes and ministers and royalists in Chang'an City, and with their internal echoes, we can also act at the opportunity!"

After a pause, Li Yu took a sip of water: "And we have only one disadvantage!" That's what the lord said, because the Han Emperor is still in the hands of Li Dao and Guo Yan, and we can't let go of our hands and feet; Once there is an accident in the Han Emperor, then our reputation will stink, and all our previous efforts will be in vain, and we don't need a dead emperor, so this is a problem that needs to be carefully considered! ”

The crowd nodded their heads; "Under ... Have a question! Wei Yan cautiously interrupted Li Yu's words; Unlike the result that Wei Yan thought of, not only Li Yu, but even Cao Cao and others gave him encouraging glances and encouraged him to speak out boldly; Wei Yan sorted out his thoughts and said loudly: "Dong Zhuo's general Xu Rong stationed in Xingyang and his 50,000 Xiliang Xiaojian are not easy to deal with, we must go west to Chang'an, once he sends troops to guard the Tiger Prison and Bishui Second Pass, there are still many obstacles on the way for us to send troops!" And..."

"Chang'an has the danger of Hanguan and the blessing of Longshan, which are all places where soldiers must fight, not places that are difficult to break! I'm done! Wei Yan sat down with a blushing face, although his naturally red face covered his face, he could still see that he was very nervous and reserved; Hahaha! ...", everyone burst into laughter, which made Wei Yan confused, and was slightly annoyed, for a long time, Cao Cao waved his hand to signal everyone not to laugh: "I haven't told you this blame, that Xu Rong is our own person!" Is it still a problem to have him to help? ”

"Your own people?" , Looking at the mysterious Cao Cao, Wei Yan half-knowingly said that he was fine; "Good! I go on! Li Yu's face was serious, and everyone became serious: "First of all, we must understand how much benefit we can get from fighting this war, so as to measure whether our efforts are worth it, in order to make everyone full of energy... Then I'll just say a few words! ”

"If you win! We can welcome the Emperor of the Han Dynasty, so as to get rid of the embarrassment of identity, and with it a huge reputation! If only we had won! The courage of the Xiliang Army, some of you should have experienced, that is all elite! We can get a huge military expansion! ”

"If we win! The land under our control will be increased by two-thirds! And millions more people will become our people! If we win! Maybe Hanoi, the territory of the party... In short, it's all built on the foundation of victory! If it fails, it's just talk! ”

Li Yu's words are very straightforward, what this master means is that they will embezzle all the benefits obtained from this partnership to "fight monsters", and not only that, the equipment of the allies is also his target, but this heart is very bad!

"Uh...", Cao Cao covered his forehead and said helplessly: "Huaide...?" "What are you doing? ", Li Yu; Cao Cao, "Can you not think too much?" I'm so stressed! ”

In any case, with Li Yu's analysis, everyone knows and understands what they are going to get, and understands whether this war is worth fighting or not; Judging from the blueprint depicted by Li Yu, everyone can only say one sentence - Tai Nima is worth it!

No matter from the perspective of power expansion, military replenishment, population growth, and reputation improvement, it is worth the Cao Group to risk entering Jingqin Wang; "Ahem! Wilder has analyzed it very comprehensively! Is there anything else to add? … If not, then talk about how we should fight! Cao Cao got up and unfolded the map behind him, and his Wenchen fierce generals quickly surrounded him; Cao Cao took the Yitian Sword in his hand and pointed to the map: "Ma Teng and Han Sui sent troops, and they will inevitably attack the gateway to the west of Chang'an - Tongguan, Chang'an is now the foothold of Li Dao and Guo Yan, these two will definitely not let it lose, and it will also reveal the gap of uneven distribution of military strength, so that Hanoi and Shangdang's Zhang Yangbing troops will go out of Hedong County, go to Anyi, and pass through Linjin, and threaten the past from the flank!" ”

"And we... I plan to go to Xingyang to meet Xu Rong first, persuade him, and then use him as the precursor to attack Hongnong all the way and Luonan all the way; The four army horses came out together, constantly oppressing their living space, surrounding the Xiliang army and horses in Chang'an for a generation, and then we were looking for favorable fighters in it..."

is worthy of being an active-minded military strategist far beyond that era, Cao Cao's tactical and strategic literacy should definitely not be underestimated... I can even think of compressing space! Let's hang up!
