After Sun Ce and Zhou Yu dedicated the city to Liu Xun, they left Cheng Pu to sit in the town, and continued to lead troops north to Anfeng, sending troops to Gushi.

Bai Tu has already issued a message, will go to Runan, completely wipe out the rebellion, give the jackal pseudo-emperor Yuan Shu, and the generals led by Qiao Rui who were ordered to loot the people of Shouchun, a "justice"!

At this time, the soldiers and horses on the front line of Shouchun had also forcibly crossed Huainan, captured Anfengjin, and forced Ruyin, plus starting from Shucheng, passing through Anfeng to Gushi, and crossing Huai to the north to Gepo......

The troops were divided into two routes, east and west, and launched an attack on Runan at the same time.

Seeing that Bai Tu was going to move seriously, Cao Cao had to send troops in advance - otherwise, once Runan fell into the hands of Bai Tu, there would only be a narrow Yingshui between Bai Tu and Xu Du......

At that time, faced with a white map that was stronger than Yuan Shu's peak, Cao Cao could only think about whether to send protons to Yuan Shao or protons to Bai Tu!

Fortunately, although Yuan Shu is already a phoenix that has lost its hair, he has the elite of Nanyang and Runan, so he will not be defeated quickly.

"Yuan Shu's guy is really hateful, and at this time, he even went to tease that white picture!" Cao Cao said angrily.

Moreover, Yuan Shu was still self-reliant before the Han Dynasty, which made Cao Cao, who held the righteousness of the imperial court, cut off the opportunity to support him, and could only choose to "race" with Bai Tu.

"Baitu has hundreds of millions of grain stores in Jiangdong, and it is said that ...... also used some magical way to catch 10,000 stones every day in Wu County, but I was afraid that I would have already intervened in the Central Plains. Liu Ye said.

"This is not necessarily, if it weren't for Yuan Shu's atrocities in Shouchun, with the current situation in Jiangdong and Huainan, Bai Gong should continue to appease Shouchun." Xun Yu said.

"Humph! Wen Ruo, do you still think he has no ambition? Cao Cao said with some dissatisfaction.

Xun Yu smiled bitterly when he heard this: "I underestimated Bai Gong before, but it was really a mistake of Wen Ruo, but now...... It doesn't matter whether Bai Gong is ambitious or not. ”

"Hey, I was also deceived by his treacherous appearance, and now he has become big in Jiangdong and annexed Huainan, and the army is prosperous, I am afraid that he is still above me." Cao Cao said with emotion.

On the contrary, Guo Jia, who had always disagreed with Xun Yu on this matter, said at this time: "The lord doesn't have to be arrogant, although Baitu has annexed Yangzhou now, compared to the lord, Baitu has seven defeats and seven victories, which is enough to lay the victory for the lord in Runan!" ”

"Oh? What seven wins do I have? Cao Cao was surprised when he heard this.

"Bai Tu sells his reputation and is blessed by benevolence and righteousness, and he has already stated before the war that he will not forgive Yuan Shu's old department, but the lord can remember his mistakes and be eclectic, which is one of them;

Now Huainan is in a great drought, scorched earth for thousands of miles, Bai Tu can only transport grain from Jiangdong to conquer Runan, and the lord only needs to transport grain from the Central Plains, Xu Du also has sufficient food, Bai Tu's grain road is ten times longer than the lord, and the second is also;

Bai Tu in Jiangdong and Huainan has never experienced hard battles, and most of them are won by skill, while the strong army of the lord has been fighting in the Central Plains for several years, and this is the third;

Jiangdong water conservancy land, good boat and few horses, the lord's tiger and leopard cavalry has been trained, in the central plains of Runan battle, Baitu's cavalry is far inferior to the lord, this four also;

In the land of Huainan, now the drought has not eased, and there are mountains in Jiangdong that are more chaotic, and Yanzhou is politically harmonious, and the rear of the lord is stable, which is also the fifth;

Bai Tu takes leniency as benevolence, and allows Sun Ce and Lu Bu to become a tiger and wolf of their own, and the lord is generous and fierce, and the army is united, and this is also the sixth;

Bai Tu regards the people he sees as parents and children, and if there is a small injury, he will be sad and angry, and the lord has the people of the world in his heart and the stability of the world, so he can endure it for a while, and this is also the seventh......

With these seven wins and seven defeats, even if Jiangdong has 100,000 soldiers and horses, how can it compete with the lord? ”

After hearing this, Xun Yu, Xun You, Liu Ye and others looked at Guo Jia in surprise - can you really break it?

If you think about it carefully, you will find that many of the so-called seven wins and seven defeats are ambiguous.

For example, Bai Tu's reputation for "unforgiveness in case of surrender" will certainly make the generals who participated in the Shouchun incident inspire the heart of fighting to the death against Bai Tu, but at the same time, it also makes Bai Tu sit on the reputation of "doing the right thing for heaven", making the army and the people united and hateful to the enemy.

Jiangdong soldiers do have few horses, and in the flat Central Plains, cavalry can be said to be the decisive force, which is indeed more advantageous for Cao Cao, who has formed tiger and leopard cavalry, but ...... With the "flying general" here, Bai Tu is on the cavalry, and he is not powerless to fight back.

As for "leniency for benevolence", Bai Tu does treat his subordinates and the wealthy families under his rule, and his methods are wide and soft, but ...... This is also Baitu's political philosophy, and it is not without a bottom, but the bottom line is not quite the same as Cao Cao, even if "strict in troubled times" is the truth after widespread practice, but looking at the current situation in Jiangdong, how can it be said that Baitu's leniency is a weakness?

Under Cao Cao's rule, the government was harmonious? Hehe, yesterday Xun Yu also heard that Emperor Liu Xie of the Han Dynasty was so angry that he smashed the vase because a Zhonglang would be withdrawn!

The so-called seven wins and seven defeats are mostly like this......

However, Cao Cao looked like he had already believed, swept away the previous decline, and confidently began to discuss with the conspiracy how to capture Runan before Baitu.

Xun Yu and others probably guessed that Cao Cao deliberately cooperated to comfort the army......

This kind of far-fetched theory of victory and defeat obviously cannot really be used to predict victory or defeat, but it is good to use it to appease people's hearts.

It's just that no one noticed that Guo Jia's face was a little paler at this time!

At the same time, Guo Jia's lips moved slightly, as if muttering, "Is there only five", but no one else heard it.

At the same moment, Lu Bu, who was in the vanguard, suddenly found that the speed of the cavalry under his command was a little weak.

The experienced Lu Bu immediately ordered someone to stop and check, and it turned out that the values of the war horse were not in the optimal range, and the reason was unknown...... Could it be that the soil and water are not adapted?

After all, after tossing and turning in the past few years, although the cavalry under Lu Bu is trained in the way of riding in the state, there are very few horses in the war, most of them are Jiangdong horses and Yunnan horses transported from Jingzhou......

It's just that Lu Bu faintly felt that this was not like a water and soil adaptation, but as long as the water source was not poisoned, he was also relieved.

Although it is not in the optimal range, it is still within the normal lower limit, but many war horses are like this, which makes the combat effectiveness of the cavalry drop by a few points.

……

At the same time, many of the generals stationed in Runan were talking about the text of Bai Tu spreading all over the world, and this kind of thing about entering the city and looting before did make them feel refreshed, but now, ......

They were terrified by Baitu's inscriptions, and they were not forgiven when they were surrendered...... Wouldn't that mean that if you lose, you can only die?

Fear and anger began to spread in their hearts, and one by one they cursed Baitu for using their lives to fulfill his own righteousness...... Otherwise, why can't they be forgiven?

"It is said that Cao Cao of Yanzhou is also going to war with us...... It would be nice if I was also in the north, and I might be able to survive if I lost to Cao Cao......" A little clever ghost said everyone's thoughts.

……

At the same time, the team that was transporting grain in Huainan, the morale of the laborers suddenly declined, and the real laborers also agreed, and an idea came to the bottom of their hearts - on a hot day, so many small rivers have dried up, and they actually let us transport grain, is Bai Gong too tossed?

Of course, after this thought appeared, they were immediately pressed into their hearts - how could they think so much about Eungong? Now that the land at home is deserted during the disaster year, I can have relief food to eat, thanks to Engong......

However, after having "distracting thoughts", even if there is no resentment, the speed of grain transportation has slowed down a lot.

Even the county lieutenant in charge of the grain transportation team said at this time: "Everyone is tired, let's go to the shade in front and rest!" ”

The slow speed will increase the consumption of grain and grass for transportation.

……

At the same time, a large number of "recruits" under Bai Tu's command who had only undergone complete training, but had not really been on the battlefield, or had only engaged in not fierce battles, were worried about the war that was about to take place.

This time, Yuan Shu has been forced to his hometown, and his subordinates are all real henchmen, so they should ...... Won't surrender again, right?

Can I really use the ones I usually train on the battlefield after I go to the battlefield?

What if the battle is delayed because of me? If I...... What to do if you die on the battlefield?

Although they immediately thought of the Protector Temple outside Jinling City, the land and taxes that their families would share after becoming grassroots generals, and the benefits they would receive even if they died in battle, and their children would be able to study in the county in the future, their previous hesitations dissipated a little......

However, the recruit syndrome is still silently affecting the morale of Bai Tu's subordinates.

However, most of Bai Tu's subordinates are indeed this kind of "recruits", because of the previous grand strategy, even if they have been trained for a year or two, they have very little real blood!

……

At the same time, in the mountains and forests of Yuzhang, several Shanyue tribes who had not moved recently seemed to be spring, and their fighting spirits were raised one by one, and when they went down the mountain to trade with the Han people, their temper was slightly bigger.

Originally, he would only do it because of the gains and losses of 100 yuan, and he wanted to beat someone when he lost 80 yuan all of a sudden......

The "trade conflict" and "accidental killing" have always been the fuse for the outbreak of small-scale Han-Vietnamese conflicts...... This made Gao Shun's pressure a lot greater.

……

At the same time, Cao Chun, who was training tiger and leopard cavalry, suddenly felt that the cavalry under his command had become a lot more fierce, as if they were all performing extraordinarily, and he was a little surprised.

At the same time, the team that was transporting military rations to Cao Cao, all the laborers thought of beautiful things in their hearts, and the pace of Meizizi was a little faster.

At the same time, Cao Jun, who had experienced a hundred battles, was a little excited about the coming big war.

At the same time, Liu Xie, the Han Emperor who had been repeatedly deflated by Cao Cao recently and became more and more dissatisfied with him, but had no choice, suddenly felt that Cao Cao's new cook who was sent to the palace was not bad, and his mood was a little better......
