Chapter 437: Empty City Scheme?
"陛xià this is ......"
Hearing Cao Cao's order, everyone was stunned, so surprised that they couldn't help themselves, even Cheng Yu, the old minister who had followed Cao Cao for the longest time, couldn't understand.
"Your Majesty, if it is, at this time, if the elite is transferred from here to support Yangzhou, I am afraid that even if Wei Tao may come at any time, and now that most of Yangzhou has fallen, even if it is a large army, I am afraid it is impossible to pacify Yangzhou immediately, why is this?"
Unlike those wise ministers who protect their lives and military generals who only know how to obey orders, Cheng Yu has followed Cao Cao for I don't know how many years, and his identity is very different, and he is naturally more considered by Cao Cao.
Before ascending the throne as emperor, it can be said that the Han royal family has no name and no power, and there is not much benefit in continuing to exist like this, so it is so that all the rights can be collected in your hands.
But now that the elite soldiers are not allowed to continue to sit in Xuchang, they will be sent out, which is really a little unclear.
It's even a bit of a 'self-defeating' implication.
"Huh...... Zhongda, you seem to have lost a lot of scheming these days! ”
Cao Cao didn't answer but laughed, and then looked at Sima Yi on the side.
Since that time, although Sima Yi escaped with his life, Sima Yi has been much gloomy, and he has ignored many things, even when Cao Cao was called the emperor before, he has been ignoring and silently watching.
Now hearing Cao Cao ask, Sima Yi also continued this style, and returned to Cao Cao with his hand.
"Your Majesty must have conspiracy in your heart, not something we can predict. Please also be able to be express. Naturally, I don't have any reason to do it. I believe that with the ability of His Majesty, it will definitely be possible to defeat the Liang Dynasty. ”
Cao Cao looked at Sima Yi silently for a while, and then nodded, but he didn't continue to pay attention to Sima Yi. No one knew what Cao Cao was thinking in his heart.
It's just that in the end, under Cao Cao's order, those generals all left according to their words.
The news of Cao Jun's large-scale opening naturally reached Wei Tao's ears.
To be honest, at this time, Wei Tao also felt puzzled in the face of Cao Cao's actions, in fact, since he met with Cao Cao that day, Wei Tao felt that all Cao Cao's actions had become very inexplicable, and he didn't know why he did this.
But if you think about it carefully, you can find it. In any case, what Cao Cao did seemed to have always been in Cao Cao's control.
This feeling really makes it difficult for Wei Tao to make a decision.
Do you want to raid Xuchang with light troops?
Although I dare not say that it will not be a plan, once it is successful, it will also be able to get great benefits, which even Wei Tao does not want to refuse.
"Is this an empty city plan? Sure enough, it's the trouble of smart people! Brother Mengde, Brother Mengde, you really deserve to be you......"
After thinking about it, Wei Tao found that he had nothing to gain, he could only smile silently, this situation really made Wei Tao speechless.
Not only Wei Tao, but also many of Wei Tao's advisers were confused at this time. No one can figure out what Cao Cao wants.
"Your Majesty, the army sent by Cao Cao this time is close to the whole army. It is impossible for such a large army to move without concealing it, it cannot be an imaginary number, and it is difficult to conceal the actions of such a large army. ”
At this time, even Zhou Yu can only be reluctantly said.
"It may be said that on the way, a part of the troops can be dispersed and lurked back, so that it is indeed possible to shoot a horse pistol, which may catch us off guard, but in fact, even if it is so, it is only a slight hindrance to our army, and it is impossible to fall in one fell swoop. If our army personally raises troops to Xuchang, such an army will not be able to return to defense for a while, and even if there is time for it to rush back, it will only be a group of tired soldiers. I really don't understand what the Wei Dynasty can do. ”
"陛xià, if the only possibility is to target the ears of a person. Such a battle to destroy the country naturally has to be carried out by His Majesty in person, and if there is any trick to kill His Majesty, then this game is also easy to say. ”
Jia Xu also replied from his mouth at this time.
"Of course, if it is said that there are still Lu Bu and other generals under Cao Cao, it is still possible, but not to say that Lu Bu has died, and the other generals are also seriously damaged, and the remaining brave generals must be allowed to lead the troops, so who can face His Majesty in Xuchang?"
Jia Xu's words were very hesitant, just like Zhou Yu, in such a situation, it was really not ordinary to guess Cao Cao's intentions.
As for the empty city plan, none of these strategists mentioned it.
After all, in the face of such a good opportunity, no one will say that it is a strategy to mention the strategy of not moving, after all, such a strategy is indeed not suitable.
"Guys, what do you think I should do to personally lead the troops to the army? Although the generals under Cao Cao led the troops to Yangzhou this time, the person in charge was Cao Chun, the commander of the tiger and leopard cavalry, who was extraordinary, but compared to Cao Cao's absolute loyalty, I am afraid that Cao Cao would have other orders for him. ”
Wei Tao also knew this for a long time, in fact, this situation has happened several times before, although even if he doesn't know the other party's plan, he can still make a plan, but this certainty is much lower.
Especially in such a strange situation, all Wei Tao can do is to learn as much as possible.
"As for the general defending the city, he is also Cao Hong, the general of the Cao army. Cao Hong followed Cao Cao to fight in the south and north for several years, and also won Cao Cao's trust, and with Cao Hong's ability, it was not easy to take Xuchang. ”
Although Wei Tao said so, from the perspective of various advisers, it is obviously not the case.
"Your Majesty, no matter what, since Cao Cao created such good conditions for His Majesty, in order to be able to unify the Central Plains as much as possible, so that the people of the Central Plains can recuperate, and suppress all the tribes of the grassland for eternity, I am afraid that His Majesty will go to Xuchang to fight anyway, in order to achieve success!"
After a brief silence, Zhou Yu still spoke.
"No matter how you calculate, you can break it, this is what Your Majesty wants to do. After all, if it is true, if His Majesty only uses cavalry, he can not only rush to Xuchang as much as possible, but once things change, His Majesty can also evacuate. However, in this way, relying on cavalry alone, how does His Majesty think that Xuchang can be defeated? After all, Cao Hong is a generation of famous generals, even if it is His Majesty, it is impossible to capture the city with cavalry. ”
"This ......"
As Zhou Yu said, Wei Tao's idea is indeed so, but as Zhou Yu said, it is indeed impossible to just put the method of taking Xuchang on Cao Hong's mistake.
"What His Majesty thinks, is it because since Cao Cao is setting up this situation to tempt the lord, he will definitely take action, and His Majesty wants to break the plot with a plan?"
At this time, Jia Xu also opened his mouth to ask, and his voice was flat and did not see the slightest wave.
Wei Tao swept his eyes and found that both Zhou Yu and Jia Xu were like this, and immediately understood, it turned out that his plan had long been known by his subordinates.
"Is that so?"
Wei Tao smiled slightly, but he didn't mind much.
"Although I don't know what Cao Cao is calculating, but this is for my Han clan, as long as I can break through Xuchang, even if there are many Cao generals left, the result is just surrender. I've been fighting for half my life, and the risks I've encountered are innumerable, so what if I take another risk? ”
"We know that we can't convince Your Majesty, so I ask Your Majesty to allow us to accompany you."
Zhou Yu obviously understood Wei Tao's meaning very well, and when he heard Wei Tao say this, he knew that no matter how much he persuaded him in ordinary ways, it would be impossible to change Wei Tao's attention, so he said so at the moment.
"Huh...... With Gongjin by my side, even if Cao Cao has any calculations, I don't need to be afraid, how can there be any reason and evil that is not allowed? ”
Wei Tao responded with a smile, and after seeing Wei Tao agree, Zhou Yu spoke again.
"Your Majesty, we don't know what Cao Cao used now, but the longer it goes, the more his plan will be exposed, so now we have a plan to offer."
"I knew that Gongjin would have a plan, and it was just what he said."
Wei Tao shook his head and smiled, although he didn't say it, Wei Tao could guess that this plan must be aimed at Cao Cao, and he was also protecting himself.
"No! That Cao Cao's soldiers will be counted, and they have not seen his large-scale recruitment of soldiers, so the soldiers he sent to Yangzhou must be true, even so, then let him fight with Bo Yan, and then ask Bo Yan is defeat and retreat, Yangzhou will gradually be re-ceded, so that Cao Cao's soldiers will be fixed in Yangzhou, can not be lightly rushed, and since it is to capture Yangzhou, but also to hold the soldiers, it is impossible to return in time, I don't know what His Majesty thinks? ”
If there is no order from Wei Tao, if Lu Xun really loses the city and land, then it is not too much for Wei Tao to cut it.
Even if they don't behead, generally speaking, the generals after the 'loss of the city and land' are often impossible to be reused, and Zhou Yu will ask Wei Tao to give an order, which is naturally to protect Lu Xun.
For young generals like Lu Xun, Wei Tao still attaches great importance to it, and naturally there will be no objection to what Zhou Yu said, so he immediately replied.
"As it should be, Zhou Yu immediately ordered Bo Yan to evacuate immediately after a little resistance, as for the people, don't calculate, after all, the people are innocent, at this time, don't be involved, in the case of few casualties, it is impossible for Cao Jun to embarrass the people."
