"Prime Minister, now the situation is like this, there is trouble in the rear of Wei Tao, with that Wei Tao's temperament, it must be to deal with foreign affairs as the big, and our army as the small. After all, even if it is defeated in this battle with the prime minister, it is just a peaceful coexistence and mutual non-aggression with our Han Dynasty, and its strength will naturally make a comeback in the future. ”

Yang Xiu was talking eloquently in the tent at this time.

"Now all the places in my Han Dynasty are mostly plains and rivers, which are not easy to defend and difficult to attack, I think the reason why Wei Tao is willing to make a contract with the prime minister is also because he doesn't want to hurt the strength of the Central Plains too much. Since Wei Tao is so soft-hearted, why didn't the prime minister break it in one fell swoop to get ten years of peace? ”

From the perspective of Cao Cao's subordinates, the reason why Cao Cao's battle with Wei Tao was that his territory was really difficult to defend.

At this time, Cao Cao frowned slightly, he naturally understood what Yang Xiu meant, but Cao Cao obviously thought deeper.

"Dezu, how do you know that Wei Tao can't deal with it? As far as I know, the strength of the Xiongnu, Xianbei, Wuhuan, and Qiang tribes has been weakened a lot, and although Wei Tao came to fight with me, his generals such as Zhang Liao and Zhao Yun, Zhuge Jin, Jia Xu and other strategists are all left behind in the rear, how can I not respond? ”

"That's what the prime minister said."

Although Yang Xiu is conceited and arrogant, he naturally has to admit it in the face of the facts, but with Yang Xiu being so arrogant and conceited, it is naturally impossible to admit it like this, and he still tells his strategy at the moment.

"However, please think about it, the guard army and our army have been fighting for more than a month, and the two sides have lost their troops and lost their generals, not to mention, they have failed to use it several times, and it is the time to slack. If it is according to my law. First, he moved his army with rumors. Then immediately send troops to disrupt their formation. When he did not hesitate to do so, he was able to attack the camp. Until now, there is no score on the victory or defeat over there, even if it is prepared, but how can it rest assured? This battle does not seek to be able to win a big victory, as long as it gives our army an advantage. As long as the advantage is established, and then our army will stick to the camp again, this victory and defeat will be divided. Then, if the prime minister has a heart, he can attack him when he wants to retreat, and then he will ensure the peace of the Han Dynasty for ten years. ”

To tell the story, I have to say that what Yang Xiu said is indeed reasonable, if the war in the north is not clear, it can really be allowed to succeed.

The most important thing about this plan is not that the strategy is exquisite, in fact, this plan is quite simple, what really matters is whether Wei Tao pays attention to the war in the north.

This is naturally beyond doubt, and for so many years, Wei Tao has paid the most attention to such foreign affairs.

In addition, the turmoil in the north was only half a month ago. No matter how fast Wei Tao reacted, it was impossible to say that he would be able to suppress those foreign clans immediately.

Yang Xiu thought based on this. And OK.

"What does Zhongda think?"

Cao Cao was silent for a while, but turned his head and asked.

"Prime Minister, there is no need to say much about Wei Tao's resourcefulness, except for the rumors that may make his subordinates a little commotion, the others are not worth mentioning at all."

It is naturally difficult to see what Sima Yi thinks in his heart, but at this time, he is calm, and his flat words are even directed at Yang Xiu on the side.

"The strategy that Dezu said is so simple, it is impossible for Wei Tao's strategists to be ignorant, and to pin hope on Wei Tao's will be because he has lost his mind and does not know what to do, it is better to say that Wei Tao may act blindly at any time to give us a good chance."

Although Sima Yi's words were very calm, these words were sarcastic when they heard Yang Xiu's ears.

This made Yang Xiu very angry.

Although this strategy itself is very simple, the real calculation is to calculate Wei Tao's thoughts, so Yang Xiuke thinks that he is very clever and reasonable, how can he accept Sima Yi's words.

However, although Cao Cao appreciated Yang Xiu's idea, he agreed with what Sima Yi said, so he only implemented the rumor strategy, and did not have any intention of really mobilizing troops.

Yang Xiu naturally could only retreat helplessly.

However, although Yang Xiu himself is not the kind of person who complains about his plots, he is also a person who also can't hide his words, and when he talks to others, he will naturally say his plans smoothly.

And the one who can hear this, in addition to some Cao Cao's henchmen and advisers, is naturally Cao Zhi.

As Zhou Yu and others said, Cao Zhi's situation is very good and bad now, although Cao Cao made him the heir, but it is indeed difficult for him to obey, this time he accompanied Cao Cao to send troops, but in fact, he has no military power, let alone military exploits.

In this way, Cao Zhi naturally hoped to be able to make meritorious contributions, so he was very interested in what Yang Xiu said.

In the same way, Yang Xiu is also willing to tell Cao Zhi his ideas and show his talent at the same time.

“…… The plan is not complicated, but the result, if there is something wrong with the implementation of my plan, it can be stopped at any time, and as I calculated, it is absolutely impossible for Wei Tao not to be successful. Unless he changes his temper and prioritizes the fight with our army over the expulsion of foreigners, which seems to me to be almost impossible. ”

With Yang Xiu saying so confidently, Cao Zhi believed it.

"Even if it doesn't work, this strategy is also beneficial and harmless to our army, and it is indeed a clever plan!"

Cao Zhi did have some ignorance of the war, but he believed what Yang Xiu said, and then found Cao Cao.

Maybe other people said that Cao Cao still wouldn't agree, but when facing Cao Zhi, after careful consideration, Cao Cao finally responded to the matter.

The instability of the north is equivalent to the instability of the rear, and ordinary soldiers may not know so many strategies, but they understand that their homeland is likely to be invaded by foreign people.

If it weren't for Wei Tao here, I'm afraid the commotion in the camp wouldn't have calmed down so easily.

But even so, people's hearts fluctuate inevitably.

Then, according to what Zhou Yu and others said, Wei Tao immediately ordered his subordinates to launch several strong attacks, although they lost many soldiers, but in this way, Yang Xiu was sure that he was doing the right thing.

And with Yang Xiu and Cao Zhi being friendly, it is natural that Cao Zhi is also sure of this matter.

But he didn't know that at this time, Zhou Yu was talking bluntly to Wei Tao.

"Your Majesty, if Cao Zhi wants to attack the camp in the near future."

"Gong Jin, can this plan be successful? Even if Cao Zhi didn't understand, how could Cao Cao not understand? If he already knew, how could Cao Cao still be able to win this plan? ”

Speaking of which, Wei Tao always felt that it was too simple for Cao Jun's scheme, if it was just about Yang Xiu's scheme, then it would be fine, if he underestimated himself, then the other party might also do so. But when it comes to the transfer of soldiers, if it is said that there is no acquiescence from Cao Cao, Wei Tao will not believe it.

But because of this, the more he thought about it, the more Wei Tao felt that something was wrong, and even had an idea, could it be that Zhou Yu and others were too confident, but that they despised the other party's ideas.

Now that the matter is coming, even Wei Tao has to be a little worried.

"I don't believe that Cao Cao will be reckless."

"What His Majesty said is very true."

Zhou Yu also nodded slightly, obviously, Zhou Yu and the others were not too arrogant, thinking that their plan was unbreakable, seeing this, Wei Tao finally let go of his thoughts.

In fact, at such a time, whether it is our army or Cao Jun, if you want to win, you have to take several risks, our army deliberately let its design be risky, and Cao Jun's deliberate design is also risky. As His Majesty worried, maybe what Yang Xiu is planning now is actually just Cao Cao's deliberate action. ”

"So what?"

Wei Tao frowned slightly, and then asked directly.

"If the sneak attack fails, it is nothing more than those methods, just like a continuous attack, or a sound attack from east to west, or use it as bait to rush straight to the Chinese army, in short, and so on. If you only want to defend one by one, it is naturally not impossible, but if you want to win, you should have a counterattack, how can you have the opportunity to counterattack? It's not that simple to be prepared for the unexpected and prepared. ”

Hearing Wei Tao's words, Zhou Yu nodded silently, obviously he was also clear about the difficulties, but he quickly smiled and said.

"Your Majesty, this is the last battle after all, when it is a fight, what we think is not anything else, but to fight with our lives. I don't know how Cao Cao attacked our army, but our army can take the opportunity to attack Cao's army. ”

"Attack Cao Jun? Attack each other with Cao Cao, and take advantage of the dispersion of Cao's army to capture the camp in one fell swoop? ”

Wei Tao frowned slightly, it was a little incredible, Zhou Yu's answer was actually not Wei Tao's expectation, but it still made Wei Tao feel a little hesitant.

"Gong Jin also knows that Cao Cao is cautious and will definitely not be unprepared, is there anything to do with such an attack?"

Wei Tao's question was very abrupt, but Zhou Yu naturally understood what Wei Tao meant, and smiled slightly.

"Your Majesty, if it is an ordinary raid, it is naturally unattainable, but if the whole army of 200,000 troops moves in unison, then what? This is not a sneak attack, but a clear chong fighting, 200,000 troops rushed straight to the ground, even if Cao Cao is prepared, it is impossible to be prepared, and more importantly, as long as so, our army is a force to kill, but Cao Cao is divided into two forces, such as, although there is no sneak attack, but occupy the advantage of troops. ”

"In this case, the camps of the two armies must not exist, and the others are just that, so how to solve the problem of food? Not to mention whether I should continue to abide by the agreement with Cao Cao, even if I don't keep his agreement, I am afraid it will be too late to transfer grain and grass from the rear at this time. ”

The grain and grass that supplied 300,000 people was prepared from all over the country after a month of hard work under Wei Tao's command, and Cao Cao was almost the same.

If this batch of grain and grass is lost, it means failure, and there is only one way to retreat.

This made Wei Tao have to wonder a little, what did Zhou Yu and the others want?

"Huh...... That's exactly what we had in mind. ”

Hearing Wei Tao's words, Zhou Yu replied with a slight smile. (To be continued......)
