Chapter 986: Cao Wei's Army
"Are you going to start?"
Xu Du, in the palace, Liu Xie stood in the back garden, looking up to the sky and letting out a sigh.
At this time, Liu Xie was in the prime of life, but at this moment, Liu Xie's body exuded a thick twilight aura, it was a kind of old lady, and she was getting weaker.
Just like the entire dynasty of the Liu family. Liu Xie is basically in that state.
At this moment, Liu Xie's heart was full of unwillingness. The whole world has turned into two forces, among which are the rise and Jing Chu, the tens of millions of people who support Jing Chu, Wu Yue, Bashu and other places.
Kou Feng, the son of Chu Tianzi with hundreds of thousands of armor.
The other group is in the name of his Han family, and the princes such as Cao Cao, Ma Teng, and Han Sui gathered together, and they also brought hundreds of thousands. But unfortunately, the real war has nothing to do with the Han family.
It's all the princes' requisitions. This battle, no matter how it is resolved, regardless of the affairs of the Han family, the Han family is like a dying old man, stubbornly following the path of life and going to perdition.
"Son of heaven, hahahahahaha."
At this moment, Liu Xie suddenly had the urge to look up to the sky and laugh, and he did the same. He opened his mouth and laughed so hard that tears flowed from his eyes.
Although he was laughing, the expression on his face was painful, painful.
Liu Xie is in pain, but in the world, how can anyone pay attention to this son of heaven who is destined to be eliminated. Their attention had already been focused on two places.
One is Yixian, where Kou Feng is located, and the other is Yecheng, where Cao Cao is located.
The reflection of these two giants is what the people of the world are most concerned about.
When the news officially reached Yecheng, the entire Yecheng was very dignified. Jia Xu, Chen Qun, Xiahou Yuan, Zhang Jaw and other civil and military gathered together to discuss this matter.
At this moment, in the hall of the Wei Mansion, dozens of civil and military people gathered together, all very dignified.
On the first place, Cao Cao glanced around at the civil and military forces in the hall, and a little loneliness flashed in his eyes, too little, the five good generals, Cao Ren, Cao Hong, Cao Chun, Cao Xiu, Xiahou Yuan, Li Dian, Zhu Ling and other generals were all there.
But now, it's gone for the most part.
In the entire rise of Cao Wei, there was no loss of so many generals. But in the conquest of the Chu State, many excellent generals were killed in battle.
A large number of outstanding soldiers were killed in the battle, and at this moment, the entire Chu State finally opened its claws and began to eat away at the entire world.
Success or failure is in this moment.
"Now, the state of Chu has launched an all-round attack. Don't think about countermeasures first, first calculate our army clearly. After being silent for a long time, Cao Cao spoke.
The Shang Shu order of the Han Dynasty was Xun Yu, and the Shang Shu order of the Wei State was Chen Qun.
When Chen Qun heard this, he immediately got up and bowed to Cao Cao, and then looked around at the many civil and military forces present, and said: "Now in Xuzhou and Yanzhou, there are Xiahoudun, Le Jin, Cheng Yu, Xun You, a total of 150,000 troops. In the city of Xudu, there are still 50,000 elite soldiers. There were 80,000 troops in Zhangliao in Youzhou and 50,000 cavalry outside Yecheng. At present, in the territory of Wei, there are 330,000 forces that can be mobilized. ”
330,000 elite soldiers.
After hearing this number, the public civil and military all gasped. Over the years, in the war with Chu, Wei was defeated in every battle, and countless generals and soldiers were killed and wounded.
As a result, most of them were disappointed in Wei, and there was also a feeling that Wei was weak. But I didn't expect that the entire Wei State still had such a powerful force.
330,000 elite soldiers, not counting Cao Hong's **10,000 soldiers and horses in the west.
In other words, there are still four or five hundred thousand elite soldiers in the entire Wei State. This made the civil and military people can't help but be confident, these days, there is constantly bad news, which really makes them underestimate themselves.
Such a strong military advantage.
Cao Cao glanced at the reactions of the civil and military personnel, his face was still expressionless, but there was a smile in his heart. Before discussing this matter, he specially calculated the strength of the Wei State.
It's just to lift people's hearts. That's right, now in terms of situation, Wei is not as good as Chu. The state of Chu has more than 10 million people, and there are only hundreds of thousands of elite soldiers.
It is a more reasonable regime.
The Wei State had only about five million people, but the army was between four and five hundred thousand. This is absolutely reckless. But Cao Cao relied on careful calculations and managed to support it.
This led to the fact that in terms of the number of troops, the Wei state was not weaker than the Chu state.
Geographically, although they are relatively passive, they are in a position that is easy to attack and difficult to defend. But having the advantage of military strength does not mean that there is no resistance.
At least, it is impossible for the Chu State to rely solely on the forces of Xu Shu, Huang Zhong, and Lu Xun to cripple or even occupy the Wei State.
The current situation, looking at the duel between Xu Shu, Huang Zhong, Lu Xun and him, it is better to look at the contest in the northwest. The armies of Xu Shu, Huang Zhong, and Lu Xun have the ability to drag him down.
From stamina.
The so-called stamina is the replenishment of troops, Cao Wei does not have so many people, and the four or five hundred thousand troops are already exhausted, and there is not much stamina.
But there are tens of millions in the state of Chu. Therefore, in this regard, Cao Cao has no choice. But that's a year, or even two or three years later.
As long as the tiger and leopard rode in the northwest to destroy Kou Feng's army and return to the Central Plains. Then it was his victory. So far, in the first battle, the vitality of the Chu State has been greatly damaged, and he went back to recuperate.
The world can be settled for a long time.
If the tiger and leopard cavalry lost the war in the northwest, then Cao Cao knew that he might have to survive, and it was still a hopeless remnant.
Therefore, the key to success or failure is the war in the northwest.
Of course, Cao Cao knew this, but he also attached equal importance to the war in the Central Plains.
If there is an early defeat in the Central Plains, then even if the Northwest wins, it will be completely useless.
"Don't be too happy too early, according to intelligence, the army of Chu is also around 210,000." Cao Cao glanced at the civil and military forces present, and after seeing that many people's confidence was inflated, he began to pour cold water.
Speaking of this, Cao Cao paused and said, "And we don't have a crossbow, a crossbow chuáng." It is more likely to face the various means of the Chu State. Don't forget, Ma Teng, the reason why Han Sui failed was because he didn't know this repeater. ”
Cao Cao's god is very dignified, and in the regular war, Cao Cao has never been afraid of anyone. But in terms of Kou Feng's special ability and Mo family's technology, Cao Cao has a headache.
Even the crossbow, the even crossbow chuáng, Cao Cao also only learned about it after the defeat of Cao Hong and Ma Chao. He knew that with the national strength of the Chu State, it was impossible to have only one company of crossbowmen.
Among Xu Shu, Huang Zhong, and Lu Xun, there may be a certain amount of repeater, and Xuan'er's fool provides a repeater chuáng.
In addition, it is impossible not to guard against what strange things Kou Feng will use in the war. For example, it is a steamship, and it is a Chu knife, an elephant soldier, and a well car as high as 20 zhang.
When these things were not used in the Chu State, the people of the whole world were unheard of. But it is precisely because of this that Sun Quan, Liu Bei, and the remaining Ma Teng, Han Sui, and him who have been defeated will repeatedly lose the upper hand in the competition with the Chu State.
Since the State of Chu was able to create so many strange things, it meant that the State of Chu still had the ability to create more. It's not just a matter of not being able to take precautions, it's a problem that must be guarded against.
"In addition, most of our Xuzhou, Yanzhou, and Yuzhou are flat and unsafe. And there was no cavalry in the middle to respond, and this war, on the whole situation, was evenly matched by both sides. Caution must be exercised. ”
In the end, Cao Cao summed up what he wanted to say.
From giving confidence to the civil and military personnel, to pouring cold water on the civil and military personnel to calm down, and finally encouraging them, saying that they are equal and should be cautious.
After finishing speaking, Cao Cao looked up again at the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty.
All I saw were confident and cautious eyes, and I was very satisfied.
After a few words, Cao Cao made his civil and military ministers from the beginning of the apprehension to the current self-confidence and cautious. Very clever.
"Jiang is really still old and spicy, as long as Wei Gong is here. The entire Cao Wei will not lose to the Chu State. Chen Qun's heart was full of affection.
"Chen Qun." At this time, Cao Cao shouted.
"The minister is here." Chen Qun suddenly walked out of the seat, came to the middle, and saluted Cao Cao.
"Count Xudu, as well as all the treasury in Yecheng, blades, arrows, leather armor, and armor must be counted, and after the statistics are completed, report to Lone, who will send it to Xuzhou, Yanzhou, and Youzhou. In addition, I also counted the granaries in various places, counted them all, and waited for Lone's order to be issued. ”
Cao Cao ordered.
"No."
Chen Qun said loudly.
"Xiahou Yuan."
Immediately, Cao Cao turned his head to look at Xiahou Yuan and shouted.
"The end will be." Xiahou Yuan also got up and came to the middle, while Chen Qun retreated.
"Divide the 50,000 cavalry into three, of which 20,000 will be personally commanded by you, and go to Xudu to support Xun Yu. Of these, 10,000 were handed over to the general and sent to Youzhou to support Zhang Liao. The remaining 20,000 cavalry continued to sit in Yecheng. ”
Cao Cao ordered again.
Hou Yuan promised and retreated.
"The rest of the civil and military personnel are in accordance with their own duties, and they must be dedicated." Finally, Cao Cao raised his head and glanced around the civil and military forces in the hall again, and said.
Immediately afterwards, Cao Cao said: "Now that life and death are at stake, if anyone dares to slack off, don't blame Lonely." ”
This sentence, what Cao Cao said is not so terrible. But many civil and military people still feel terrible, and the one in front of them is very generous in some ways, but it is also very spicy and abnormal in some aspects.
Many people will never forget that some people who are very favored or very capable were killed because of some things that violated Cao Cao's taboo.
Now, the life and death of the Wei State is at stake, and he is estimated to be even more unscrupulous.
The hearts of many civil and military people trembled abnormally, and they were also obedient and abnormal.
"No."
Qi Qi made a promise, very deferential.
nodded, very satisfied. Cao Cao also sighed in his heart, everything that should be done has been done, and the next thing is the real competition.
In this world, who will kill the deer? (To be continued)!.
