In the north of Jiangxia, in the mountains and forests not far from the county seat of Xiyang

At this moment, Cao Cao's 400,000 soldiers and horses are camping on this hill and cliff corner, and the atmosphere in the camp is obviously extremely poor, with a depressed and sad appearance

In the big tent of the Chinese army, Cao Cao and dozens of his large and small civil and military personnel were sitting in it, but they were silent and silent

The pride after defeating Yuan Shao, the self-confidence of the 400,000-strong army, and the haste of the temporary diversion

All of these led to Cao Cao's loss today, although he was not defeated, but if he couldn't come up with a solution in time, he was afraid that it would only be a matter of time before he was defeated

Cao Cao had a calm face and slowly inspected the people in the tent, with anger and ambition in his eyes, so that everyone did not dare to look directly

"What do you think about loneliness now?!" Cao Cao's fingers tapped on the table, making a regular rhythmic sound

At this time, Xun Yu took care of Xu Du, and Xi Zhicai was seriously ill and bedridden, and at this time, there were only a few people in this tent who could give him advice

thereinto

Xun You, good at the general trend, put the strategy, is indeed the top, but at this time he is only thinking deeply;

Cheng Yu is ruthless every time he designs, and he is in charge of Cao Cao's news channels, so he is ruthless to himself and even more ruthless to others; At this time, he was constantly reading and thinking: when he turned to Jiangxia, the news was not grasped in time, and he thought that he had to bear most of the responsibility;

Guo Jia, a drunkard, but he was most relied on by Cao Cao, at this time he did not plot directly, but played with the wine glass in his hand and waited for Cheng Yu to sort out the information

Cao Cao's eyes kept wandering over the three of them, occasionally looking at the rest of the strategists, and the atmosphere in the tent became more and more tense

Suddenly, a gloomy voice rang out

"Why should the prime minister be worried?!"

The sudden voice woke up the silent crowd, and Cao Cao heard the prestige

It's Jia Xu!

is called a 'poisoner', a talent that can compete with 'ghost talent' Guo Jia, 'Wang Zuo' Xun Yu and others, but for several years. Although he went out with Cao Cao most of the time, he rarely took the initiative to give advice

"Oh?!" Cao Cao stared at Jia Xu directly, and asked curiously for a long time: "I don't know what Wenhe's good strategy is?" ”

Jia Xu stroked the beard with a sparse chin and asked rhetorically, "Can the prime minister understand his own advantages?!" ”

Although Jia Xu asked, he quickly replied by himself: "The advantage of the prime minister is that there are many generals, 400,000 soldiers and horses, and hundreds of good generals!" ”

"Yes!" Cao Cao and the others were silent, but only answered gently;

"And this Xiyang and other Jiangxia places are so small that they can't fully accommodate the prime minister's 400,000 troops, so that the prime minister can give full play to his own advantages!" Jia Xu squinted and smiled. Said;

"Exactly!" Cao Cao nodded again in agreement;

"In that case, why did the prime minister press all the 400,000 troops on this Jiangxia battlefield?!" Jia Xu continued to offer advice: "Why don't the prime minister divide the troops into three routes and go south in an all-round way!" ”

As soon as Jia Xu said this, Cao Cao's eyes lit up and they all looked at Jia Xu

"All the way south?!" When Cao Cao heard this, he frowned and asked, "Tell me carefully!" ”

"Whoa!" Jia Xu responded lightly, and then analyzed: "The advantage of the prime minister is that he has defeated Cao Cao in recent years. After harvesting Jizhou, the number of grain, grass, soldiers and horses is safe, and it can support a long-term and multi-front war! ”

And the prime minister sent a total of more than 500,000 troops this time, isn't it just that his own logistics are not hindered. Can you support it for a long time, that's why it's so aggressive?! ”

"Indeed!" Cao Cao nodded in agreement;

Therefore, in this way, since the prime minister wants food, there is food. If you want soldiers and soldiers, you want land and land, why do you need to stick to this place of conquest in this Jiangxia?! ”

"The prime minister is enough to divide the army into three ways. Extend the front! ”

"Expand the front?!" Cao Cao seemed to understand what Jia Xu said, but in this way, then the southern part of the Han Dynasty was afraid that all of them would be caught in the flames of war, and if they were not careful, all the states and counties of the Han Dynasty would be dragged into the war

"How to divide the troops into three ways?!" Cao Cao still couldn't resist the temptation after all, stared at Jia Xu and asked;

"One of them is Xiangyang! Today's Xiangyang has been under the control of General Xiahoudun, although the defeat of Wenhou has damaged morale, but the foundation is still there, as long as the prime minister sends a general, from then on 100,000 troops into Xiangyang, from Xiangyang to the south! ”

"Second, it's in Lujiang County!" Jia Xu continued to analyze: "And it just so happens that the prime minister also has General Cao Xiu's soldiers and horses in the north of the Lujiang River, as long as he divides 100,000 troops again, it is enough to set up a large army to go south!" ”

"Third, Xuzhou, where the prime minister and Sun Wu have been fighting, can also send 100,000 troops!"

"In this way, plus Jiangxia here, a total of four armies are heading south! And Liu Xiu and Sun Quan may not be able to withstand such a multi-faceted war as the prime minister."

"Therefore, in this way, Liu Xiu and Sun Quan will definitely be able to take care of one and lose the other!"

Jia Xu's plan is indeed feasible, but the hidden dangers are not small, and they are even more poisonous!

Not only did they not care about the life and death of the people, but they expanded the battlefield at will; didn't care about the seriousness of the consequences, so that Cao Cao's whole army could be pressed; And if he is accidentally defeated, I am afraid that Cao Cao will fall into a place of no return in an instant!

In short, it's a gamble!

Because, if this plan is implemented, then Jiangxia will have to drag Zhou Yu and Liu Xiu along the way, so that they can leave and rescue other places;

And the key to the rest of the places is the leader of the general!

In their opinion, the only person who Sun Wu can fight is Zhou Yu, and Zhou Yu was dragged in Jiangxia, and the other two places must be unstoppable to hold their 200,000 army!

In the same way, the Xiangyang battlefield is the same: as long as the generals are undefeated, with their huge number of soldiers and horses, it is enough to defeat the Sun and Liu families!

Cao Cao carefully pondered Jia Xu's strategy, weighing the gains and losses and advantages

After a moment, Cao Cao looked at the rest of the strategists

Among them, Guo Jia saw this, nodded slightly, and actually agreed:

"Wenhe's strategy is indeed feasible, but it still needs to be carefully arranged before it can be truly implemented"

"Oh?!" Cao Cao was surprised, and looked at Guo Jia and Jia Xu with a question: "How to act?!" ”

"So, so, so, so"

"Okay" Cao Cao shouted happily: "Come on, pass the order!" ”

When Cao Cao Jiangxia was laid out, the land of the three states of Hebei and the palace of Xudu were also surging, and conspiracy appeared!

Everyone began to design and plan around the changes in the battle situation in Jiangxia
