Chapter 765: Expecting Cao Cao's Pig Liver Face (Third Update)

"Your Majesty, the best ferries in the Yellow River area have Ma Teng, and Han Sui sent soldiers to handle them, but they are not easy to cross. It's not the best, but it's not the worst, it's good. In the group, Zhong Miao pointed to the turbulent Yellow River in front of him and said.

The river is a bit turbulent.

But in the Yellow River, it is relatively calm.

Zhong Xuan is in his fifties, but he seems to be only thirty or forty years old just by looking at his appearance. He is Cao Wei's old minister, and in the process of Cao Cao's conquest of the world, he has always been in Chang'an.

appeased Ma Teng, Han Sui and other more than ten princes in Guanzhong.

He even once designed and drove Ma Teng, Han Sui and others to help quell a rebellion in the state. It can be said that with the existence of Zhong Xuan, Cao Cao's power in the Chang'an area of Yongzhou was born.

Otherwise, relying only on a brave and unscrupulous Cao Hong, he might have lost Tongguan a long time ago.

Therefore, the officials of the entire Cao Wei were very respectful of Zhong Xuan, and in this Western Expedition, Zhong Xuan's status was second only to Cao Cao's existence.

"Okay." Cao Cao turned over and got off his horse, stood on the edge of the Yellow River, looked at the rolling river in front of him, and nodded and said.

"Still. If we just cross the river in one place, Ma Teng, Han Sui's spies will definitely hear the news, and when the time comes, we will still not be able to cross the army in this direction. Suspicious tactics are needed. Cao Cao then said.

"Yes, the old minister will look for a few similar ferries as a plan for suspicious soldiers." Zhong Xuan understood Cao Cao's intentions and nodded and said.

"A few, at least ten. Prepare the same big ship, build the same ferry. In this way, Han Sui couldn't guess that we were going to cross the river from that side. Cao Cao shook his head and said very cautiously.

Looking at the Yellow River today, Cao Cao couldn't help but think of when he was in Chibi, he also used a suspicious strategy. But the result. It's really hard to look back on.

"Could it be too much? That's going to waste a lot of manpower and resources. Cao Hong was taken aback and couldn't help but say.

"Now that Kou Feng is in Shu, it is still unknown how long it can be delayed. We must pacify Yongzhou and Liangzhou as soon as possible, so that we can have the road south to Hanzhong and compete with Kou Feng for Shu. It is the time of racing against time, and some manpower and material resources are wasted, and they are wasted. Cao Cao frowned when he heard this.

Cao Hong was a general who was there when Cao Cao raised his army, and he was a clansman. Naturally, he is deeply trusted, and Cao Hong is also very loyal, when Cao Cao was killed, he gave up his war horse and gave it to Cao Cao.

When fighting, he is also very brave and able to fight. But the qualifications are limited, and when you meet a famous general, you will definitely be defeated. Lack of strategic vision.

Sometimes, Cao Cao is also very concerned about why Cao Hong can't go further and become a general like Cao Ren who can stand alone.

Hong Wenyan smiled awkwardly.

He really doesn't know much about these strategic things.

"Your Majesty, if we can ride the tiger and leopard to the north bank of the Yellow River first, we will definitely be able to gain a firm foothold. But the price to be paid is certainly not small. After crossing the Yellow River at such a cost, he still had to face Ma Teng, Han Sui's army of more than 200,000 troops, of which there were countless iron horses. You have to figure out how to deal with it first. Xiahou Yuan next to him saw Cao Hong's embarrassment and couldn't help but say.

Cao's and Xiahou's are wearing a pair of pants. The relationship between Xiahou Yuan, Xiahou Xuan, Cao Hong, Cao Ren and others is also very good.

"Hehe, you don't have to worry about this second, you already have a good way to break the enemy." Cao Cao smiled when he heard this, glanced at Jia Xu, who was silent next to him, and said happily.

"Oh. What strategy? Xiahou Yuan was surprised when he heard this.

"I'll leave that at that." Cao Cao smiled when he heard this, this is not the reason for secrecy, but the fact that there are many people talking and afraid of spreading it.

After the news leaks, no matter how good the plan is, it is useless.

Hou Yuan couldn't help but blush when he heard this.

"Hehe, anyway, in this westward expedition, Gu must win a victory in a substantial sense, otherwise the 200,000 troops will be wasted on the westward expedition, and the soldiers, horses, money, and food will be wasted." Cao Cao turned his head and looked north of the Yellow River, very determined.

Yongliang, Yongliang.

After being pacified, it was he who competed with Kou Feng. It's quiet, and it's simpler.

After a moment of pause, they all returned. After all, the location has already been confirmed, and there is no need to check anything more.

Cao Wei's camp was set up nearby.

A total of 200,000 people, tents stretched for dozens of miles. The momentum is overwhelming. The most conspicuous is the Central Military Department, a handsome flag with the word "Wei".

This scene can be compared even when the heroes were begging for Dong back then. Although now that the princes have risen together, the army of 200,000 is nothing.

Such as Kou Feng, Ma Teng, Han Sui, and even Gongsun Kang can put on such a position.

But Cao Wei is still the best among them.

Even Kou Feng himself could hardly mobilize such a large army for a big battle. Because there are more places for Chu to let go.

After returning to the Chinese army's big tent, Cao Cao did not leave anyone, but Jia Xu was left alone.

In the big tent, Cao Cao knelt on the handsome seat, his momentum calm. Below, Jia Xu's eyes were slightly closed, as if he was asleep, very unobtrusive.

But Cao Cao didn't dare to underestimate this person.

In Cao Cao's view, Jia Xu may be the smartest person in the world. Not only because Jia Xu can calculate everything, there are many strange schemes.

Moreover, it is also related to Jia Xu's behavior as a person, protecting himself, and so on.

In this regard, in the whole world, only Xun You may be able to compare. Xun You is a wise and foolish character, but compared to Jia Xu, he is slightly inferior.

Now in the Western Expedition, Cao Cao has also blocked all the bets on Jia Xu. This is the purpose of Cao Cao to bring Jia Xu.

And Jia Xu did not disappoint Cao Cao.

Kneeling on the handsome seat, Cao Cao remembered the day before yesterday, Jia Xu made a plan for him to defeat Ma Teng and Han Sui. Even now, I can't help but rejoice.

Jia Xu's strategy is simple. It is to divide Ma Teng and Han Sui.

Although Ma Teng and Han Sui are now temporarily united against foreign enemies because of their interests. But when they were young, they attacked each other, and even Han Sui killed Ma Teng's wife.

This is a hatred that cannot be resolved.

There is a seed to differentiate them. This is something that everyone in the world can think of. But it is also very difficult, after all, the union of interests is almost the strongest alliance in the world.

But Jia Xu made some layouts. There are not only empty strategies, but also specific layouts.

As long as Cao Cao forced the tiger and leopard to cross the Yellow River, the 200,000-strong army had a foothold in the north of the Yellow River. Cao Cao had the opportunity to contact Ma Teng and Han Sui.

According to Jia Xu's strategy, he could greet Han Sui to meet and say something in front of the public. Then, write a revised letter to Han Sui.

Under these two simple layouts, Ma Teng and Han Sui turned against each other.

The army of 200,000 will be self-defeating.

Jia Xu came up with this method. Cao Cao asked himself if he had the ability to come up with such a plan. Because of this, I admire it even more.

As long as you have this strategy, the layout. Yongliang only needs a little price to calm down.

Thinking about it, Cao Cao couldn't help but feel excited.

"Wenhe. Now Yongliang has won the battle, and the next thing is Hanzhong. Cao Cao turned his head and said to Jia Xu, and then asked gently: "It's just that the mountains and rivers in Hanzhong are dangerous, and they are very difficult to overcome." I don't know what Wenhe's strategy is? ”

Although Yongliang has not yet been pacified, Cao Cao's strategy to pacify Hanzhong so quickly is a bit ambitious. But Cao Cao really believed that he would soon be able to calm Yongliang.

I couldn't help but ask.

Jia Xu also frowned slightly when he heard this, and he also felt that Cao Cao was a little too ambitious. But calm Yongliang, his self-confidence is also very great.

Therefore, he quickly smoothed his brows, raised his fist and replied: "Hanzhong Zhang Lu is just a clown who jumps off the beam, if he can take advantage of the state, he can still have the courage to fight against Wang Shi." Now it is only entrenched in Hanzhong, and it is already very down-and-out after being defeated by Liu Zhang once. As long as the king and the teacher are together, they will definitely go to the county. ”

That's right, in Jia Xu's opinion, Zhang Lu is just a clown jumping off the beam, as long as the army presses the border, it can be pacified. Its existence, compared to Ma Teng, Han Sui is much easier to deal with.

Cao Cao was also stunned when he heard this, it was so simple. But if you think about it, it's true. Zhang Lu and Liu Zhang are not as good as Han Sui and Ma Teng.

"As long as Zhang Lu surrenders, we will be able to integrate Zhang Lu's army while going south to Hanzhong. In this way, Hanzhong will be as stable as Mount Tai. Even if Kou Feng gets the land of Shu, we can still step forward with one foot. Cao Cao stroked his palms and smiled.

What Cao Cao feared most was that Kou Feng would get the land of Shu and then take the advantage. Now, I can take the first step and enter Hanzhong. It was a great relief.

Just after Cao Cao and Jia Xu discussed the various strategies needed to pacify Ma Teng, Han Sui, and Zhang Lu, as well as the situation in the world after the victory. and Cao Wei's situation towards the state of Chu, and other major events.

There were a few fast horses in the east coming towards the camp of Cao's army.

The war horses under the crotch are all high-quality northern war horses, which are vigorous and fast, and very durable. Several knights on horseback are also rare soldiers in the army, and they are very skilled soldiers.

But none of them looked good. There was a great defeat in the rear, but they gave orders. If Cao Gong is unhappy, they will fall to the ground.

Because of the bad mood, plus the wind and sand in the northwest. Especially on a fast horse, the wind is like a knife that cuts on the face, that is, it hurts and hurts.

made this team of cavalry, whether in terms of momentum or appearance, not dare to be complimented.

To put it vulgarly, it's like a dead father, which makes people feel unlucky at first glance, very, very unlucky.

But no matter how unwilling you are to see Cao Cao, there is always a day when the journey will end. Soon, this group of people arrived at the gate of Cao Ying.

"Who's coming?" The military marquis guarding the door shouted.

"On the order of Lord Xun Yu, send a battle report from the rear." The knights rolled over and dismounted in unison, and reported.

All of them are very apprehensive. As soon as Cao Gong was angry, their heads fell to the ground.

Fear for your life.
