Cao Cao continued: "People who are too shrewd, they don't know, to do great things, as long as they dare to do it, there will be many uncertain favorable factors behind them and help them to make great things." Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Therefore, if we want to do big things that change the world, we can't measure things too little;

It is necessary to look at the overall situation with a broad view and consider the problem from a broad perspective.

You can't be intimidated by a little difficulty.

We must build up the confidence to win, have the courage to face difficulties, and use them to solve difficulties.

In doing so, the final victory will be ours. ”

Two days later, Cao Cao adjusted the minds of Cao Bing and Cao generals, and immediately began to formulate a battle plan.

This plan is very detailed, and it is not possible to record it here, but I will give you a general overview.

The purpose of the plan was to eliminate Liu Cong's Jingzhou army, recover Jingzhou and Eastern Wu, and complete the great cause of unifying the world.

The first step in the implementation of the plan was to occupy the lost territory east of the Hanshui north of the Yangtze River that had been recovered by Liu Cong the year before, station troops here, establish a strong outpost position, wait for the opportunity, kill the river, and recover Jingzhou and Eastern Wu. (It's really a narrow road, just such a piece of ground, Liu Biao lent it to Zhang Xiu back then, let him live here, nominally to take him in, but in fact, let him live here to give himself a thunder - Zhang Xiu has more than 30,000 Xiliang elite soldiers in his hands, like tigers and wolves, living here, just like a group of tigers squatting at the door of Cao Cao, as long as Cao Cao's house has a storm, he can immediately rush into the door to bite.)

So after accepting Zhang Xiu and placing him here, Liu Biao was really happy for a few days, he should be happy, he lived in Xiangyang City, a group of tigers were put outside the door, and he stared at Cao Cao's door all day long.

Therefore, Liu Biao sang and sang at home day and night, and enjoyed himself every night, thinking that he would be able to live in peace and enjoy peace forever.

Who is Liu Biao will also think like this - there is Zhang Xiu outside the door to give himself thunder, what are you afraid of?

What no one could have imagined was that later, well, I didn't know that a few years later, Zhang Xiu's tiger couldn't bite Cao Cao, a big bull, so he listened to the poisonous Jia Xu's plan and surrendered to Cao Cao.

surrendered to Cao Cao, not to mention, and brought Cao Cao a large piece of land north of the Yangtze River and west of the Hanshui River that Liu Biao lent him to settle down.

As I said earlier, Liu Biao paid for a blue nose and swollen eyes.

Cao Cao was overjoyed and jumped high and clapped his hands, and when he was happy enough, he took Zhang Xiu back to his side, and sent Cao Ren, the most intimate and most reassuring general of Cao Ying, to be stationed in Fancheng with 8,000 elite soldiers.

At this time, Liu Biao's needle was on his back - a tiger as big as Cao Ren lived on the north shore across a Han River, and when he was interested, he would jump over the Han River and come over to fight. In this case, can Liu Biao sleep well? Can you eat deliciously?

Can you not get sick if you don't eat well and sleep well?

So since then, Liu Biao has basically been very sick.

Hehe, fortunately, Liu Cong crossed over, and as soon as he came over, he sought the power of Jingzhou, and defeated Cao Ren Xiahou Yuan and Xu Huang in the second year and recaptured this land. After two years of hard work, Liu Cong has built this place into a model base for resisting Cao Bing, and at this time he has been waiting for the day, leading the 40,000 Jingzhou elite soldiers to be stationed here, waiting for this Cao Cao to come and fight while reclaiming the barren tuntian.

Isn't this a narrow road? Liu Cong has already managed this land, and Cao Cao is going to come over to occupy this land, it turns out that this land is really too good and has too important strategic significance.

Liu Cong's plan is really good, and it is really right to open up this place into a base for resisting Cao Bing's outpost.

Why?

Let's first look at the geographical location and topographical characteristics of this land.

This ground is bordered by the Yangtze River in the south. What are the benefits of being on the Yangtze River in the south?

Liu Cong has a Jingzhou sailor with Gan Ning as the chief and Cai He as the deputy commander, as I said earlier, this sailor is the most powerful sailor in the world, with nearly 1,000 large and small warships, including more than 20 giant ships. There are more than 20,000 sailors and soldiers, and all of them are familiar with water warfare, and they are very good at water kung fu.

There is such a team of sailors cruising in the Yangtze River, needless to say, Cao Cao led the troops over, or Cao Dad Cao Song or his grandfather Cao Teng led the troops over, what is the use?

Therefore, the south of the Yangtze River on this ground is very beneficial to Liu Cong - you can fight with Cao Bing after crossing the river, and if you kill enough, you can withdraw to Jiangnan to rest!

So what is the terrain to the west of the place?

As mentioned earlier, the west side is Hanshui.

The Han River flows from the peak of the Qinling Mountains in the Qinba Mountains, flows to the water surface between Xiangyang and Fancheng, the world calls it the Han River or the Han River, and from here it flows to the confluence of the Yangtze River.

Hanshui is one of the most important tributaries of the Yangtze River.

At this time, on the surface of the Xiangjiang River of the Han River, Cai He, deputy director of the Jingzhou Water Division, led the Xiangjiang Water Division to cruise.

This is also one of Liu Cong's favorable conditions - leading troops to fight with Cao soldiers in Jiangbei, and when he was tired of killing, he led his troops to retreat to the west bank of the Han River to rest, Cao Bing had to look at the water and sigh, there was no way - there was no warship in his hand, even if he had a warship, he did not have sailors to operate the ship! A group of landlubbers are like chickens, what can they do except stand on the north bank of the Yangtze River in Hanshui and swallow spit?

To the east of this area is the mountainous and hilly area of several counties and counties of Zaoyang and Yiyang, which is very conducive to the mobilization and transfer of troops, concealed assaults, and guerrilla warfare.

To the north, to the north is Cao Cao's three first-class generals, Xiahou Yuan, Cao Ren and Xu Huang, who were defeated by Liu Cong in the tenth year of Jian'an, and almost lost their lives.

At this time, Xiahou Yuan still led troops to garrison Yuzhou, and more than 300 miles south of Yuzhou City was the Wuwei River in the north of Queweipo. This river is the junction of the Caowei ground and the Jingzhou ground.

Five hundred miles to the northwest from Yuzhou, is the Xuchang City garrisoned by Xiahoudun with troops.

At this time, Cao Cao's cronies and civil and military officials were all working in Ye County, Hebei, and Cao Cao only left Xiahoudun to lead his troops to live here, serving as the reserve force of Xiahou Yuan and Xu Huang, while guarding Liu Xie, Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty.

Before Cao Cao, he sent his eldest daughter into the palace and became the queen of Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty, and then sent the remaining three daughters into the palace to be the nobles of Emperor Xian. It is also not known why he did it.

Here I also want to talk about Xu Huang, at this time he led the troops and was still stationed in Wancheng.

Wancheng is also known as Nanyang, and its geographical location is very important.

From Liu Cong, he led the troops to the north, as long as he passed Wancheng, Luoyang and Chang'an were in the north. Luoyang is in the east, and Chang'an is in the west.

What is the northwest of this anti-Cao base area? To the northwest is the Qinba Mountains.

The majestic overlapping peaks of the Qinba Mountains form a high and solid barrier to block the cold winds from the northwest in winter, and make this place a rich area in the south of the Qinba River that is suitable for human cultivation and reproduction.

The northwesternmost counties controlled by the Jingzhou Yamen, Shangyong County, Nanxiang County, and Zhu County, etc., are in the arms of the Qinba Mountains. Liu Cong once led people to refine gunpowder here.

The mountains here are treacherous, and the roads are rugged, which is really a good place to store food for soldiers. 009
