Chapter 278: The Greatest Enemy

Luo Zheng thought about it and had some impressions of that section of the road.

Jia Xu only glanced at it, and then said: "Although the terrain here is flat, if it is used to build a city, it is very dangerous, the north is the river that turns to the east, and the south is the mountain cliff, as long as the new city and the mountain cliff are connected, only thousands of soldiers and horses can block tens of thousands of troops." Moreover, Seki Castle is located on the upper reaches of the river, and as long as the embankment is dug, even a million troops can be flooded. ”

Luo Zheng's eyes froze, and then he said categorically: "Good, just do what Gongming says!" ”

After a pause, he said: "The construction of the city will be handed over to Gongming to be responsible, 8,000 Hedong soldiers will enter the Chang'an camp for reorganization, and the general will give you 30,000 soldiers who have been recruited, and you must do your best to build the city, thinking that it is the eastern gateway of Guanzhong!" ”

Xu Huang said sonorously: "The last general will obey the order!" ”

Waiting for Xu Huang to leave, Luo Zheng ordered someone to call Cheng Ying over.

"Let's talk about the situation in the Central Plains!"

Luo Zheng sat down after returning to the desk and gently knocked on the table.

Cheng Ying said: "At present, Cao Cao and Yuan Shu are still fighting in Huaishui, I am afraid that it will be difficult to distinguish the winner in a short time, Yuan Shu will not be able to defeat Cao Cao, Cao Cao will not be able to cross the Huaishui to the south and fight with Yuan Shu!" ”

Luo Zheng asked: "What about Xuzhou, what's the situation?" ”

Cheng Ying replied: "Since Tao Qian's death, Xuzhou has been controlled by the Xuzhou Shi clan gate valve, each of them has its own government, Cao Cao and Yuan Shu are trying their best to win over the Xuzhou Shi clan gate valve, but the Xuzhou Shi clan is still waiting and seeing, and they are unwilling to mix in the dispute between Yuan and Cao. ”

Luo Zheng muttered: "None of these scholars are stupid, they are all smart people!" ”

Jia Xu and Cheng Ying were silent, which is a bit degrading.

Luo Zheng immediately straightened his face and asked Jia Xu: "What does Wen He think of Cao Cao?" ”

Jia Xu groaned slightly, and then said: "Looking at what this person did, it is really a heroic method!" The quagmire of the four wars in the Central Plains. This person was able to drive away Yuan Shu and occupy Yan and Henan Prefectures. If nothing else, this person will become the lord's worst enemy. ”

Luo Zheng thought deeply and said: "What Wen He said is extremely true. Cao Cao's guy is indeed an immortal! In the past, General Ben was ordered to lead an army to conquer the Kanto region and wiped out the Cao clan. Many times I tried to find an opportunity to kill this person to get rid of future troubles, but I failed to do my job. As the saying goes, gold will shine no matter where it is placed, Cao Apu did not disappoint this general, as soon as Liu Dai died, this guy immediately enjoyed Yanzhou, and now he drove Yuan Shu away, occupied Yuzhou, and replaced this general. It won't be better than what he did. ”

Cheng Ying hurriedly said: "The lord is eloquent and strategic, how can it be compared to Cao Apu and others, why be humble!" ”

Luo Zheng waved his hand and said with a smile: "Gongying has been following General Ben for a long time, don't say this kind of thing, although General Ben thinks that he is no worse than Cao Apu, he will never be arrogant, let alone underestimate Cao Apu's house." Even in some respects, this general is indeed inferior to Cao Cao, this person is really an unborn hero. Non-Yuan Shu, Yuan Shao and the like are comparable! ”

Cheng Ying smiled awkwardly and did not speak.

Luo Zheng said: "It is precisely because of this that General Ben has always focused his strategy on the Central Plains. If it's just the Central Plains. Cao Apu is not a concern, but if he defeats Yuan Shao and unifies the Central Plains and the north, then this general will be able to go out with a large army, and he may not be the opponent of the current exercise, so this general will definitely not allow Cao Apu to sit further down. ”

Jia Xu had different ideas, but the old fox was not in a hurry to say it.

Cheng Ying said in disbelief: "How can the lord be so sure that Cao Cao will defeat Yuan Shao." It is necessary to know that Yuan Shao is also an eloquent talent, and now he has defeated Gongsun Zhan, and it is very likely that he will unify the four states of Hebei. At that time, if the people of Hebei are driven south to the Central Plains. Whether Cao Cao can stop it is a question, and how can he defeat Yuan Shao. Dominate the North and the Central Plains! ”

Luo Zheng said in a deep voice: "Gongying must not underestimate Cao Cao, Yuan Shao is definitely not this person's opponent!" ”

That's the benefit of being a traverser. No matter how far the wheel of history is, but between Cao Cao and Yuan Shao, the victory or defeat mainly depends on Yuan Shao and Cao Cao themselves, so the final result will probably not be wrong.

Of course, for now, no one would believe that Yuan Shao was not Cao Cao's opponent.

Even wise men like Jia Xu can't fully believe that if Yuan Shao unifies the four states of Hebei, when the army of Hebei goes south, he will be defeated by Cao Cao, let alone others.

Cheng Ying couldn't believe it, so she had to be silent.

Luo Zheng waved his hand and said: "So, even if Guanzhong is initially decided, our army is temporarily unable to use swords, even if Hangu Pass is occupied by Li Dao, this general must find a way to drag Cao Agui's hind legs, and he can't let this guy take Xuzhou again!" ”

Although Jia Xu reserved his opinion, since Luo Zheng took Cao Cao as his biggest enemy, as a military advisor, he naturally wanted to do his best to give advice to Luo Zheng, and immediately got up and walked to the military topographic map, pointed to Hedong and said: "My lord, please see, although Hangu Pass is controlled by Li Dao, it is difficult for our army to go out of the Central Plains from Si Li, but there is an official road in Hedong that leads directly to Shangdang Gaodu, and from Gaodu to the south over Taihang Mountain, you can go straight to Hugao Pass." From the Tiger Prison Pass south to Yingchuan is only more than 100 miles, the cavalry is lightly armed, only one day can be killed under the city of Xuchang, the only problem is that on the way to pass through the territory of Li Dao, Zhang Yang, Cao Cao and others, even if the cavalry can bypass the dungeons, but the grain and heavy can not be transported, if the problem of grain and grass is not solved, it is difficult for our army to pose a threat to Cao Cao. ”

Luo Zheng had also thought about this road a long time ago, but the grain and grass were indeed a problem, so he was silent.

Cheng Ying said: "Cao Cao moved to Xuchang, and there must be heavy troops stationed in various passes, how can our army kill Xuchang?" ”

Jia Xu smiled and said: "Our army doesn't want to break Xuchang, as long as we attack Cao Cao from time to time, or wait for Cao Cao to go out to walk the army, send a cavalry to Xuchang to walk the horse, so that Cao Cao does not dare to act rashly, and the lord's goal will be achieved." ”

Luo Zheng nodded again and again: "Yes, the purpose of this general is very simple, as long as Cao Apu can't rule the Yanyu Erzhou with peace of mind, and he doesn't dare to raise troops to attack Xuzhou." However, the transportation of grain and grass is indeed a problem, and it is not advisable to continue to feed the war by war. If you can't even transport grain and grass, the attack on Yingchuan will become an empty word. ”

Jia Xu groaned for a moment and said, "It's not impossible, but you still need to ask General Gan Ning to know if it's feasible." ”

"Gan Ning?"

Luo Zheng looked at the map, his eyes moved along the river, from Guanzhong to Hanoi, his eyes lit up, and said: "Gan Ning recruited a group of young and strong, hiding in Fuping to train the navy, a year has passed, I don't know how the training is, Wen He is planning to let Gan Ning's sailors transport the grain and straw from the river to the Tiger Prison Pass, right?" ”

Jia Xu nodded and said: "The lord clearly sees that only by taking the waterway can the grain and grass be transported to the Tiger Prison Pass!" ”

Luo Zheng thought for a while, and then said: "Quickly send people to Fuping to summon Gan Ning to come!" ”

"Yes!"

Cheng Ying agreed and immediately went out to make arrangements. (To be continued)
