Knowing that the state of Chu was in mid-October, he forcibly broke through the defense line and let go north......

In Yecheng, the officials and the people were shocked, and for a while, the movement of moving the capital was played, and it floated in front of Cao Cao like snowflakes.

But Cao Cao is worried and happy - there is indeed a big gap between Wei and Chu, if Bai Tu is not faint, it is difficult to have a chance of winning, just like ...... The former Yuan Shao!

However, in Cao Cao's view, the current white picture is fainting.

Obviously, his own army, most of which are in the south, actually wants to fight with the northerners north of the Yellow River in winter?

This weather alone can narrow the gap between the two sides by three percent, and considering that the terrain is suitable for cavalry, the gap is even smaller......

Thinking of this, Cao Cao couldn't help but sigh.

At this time, it was the time of internal discussion, and all those present were Cao Cao's henchmen, seeing Cao Cao sighing, everyone was puzzled, and Xun Yu seemed to guess something at this time, and asked gently: "The lord remembered Fengxiao?" ”

"Yes, if Feng Xiao is here, our grasp will be three points greater......" Cao Cao couldn't help but sigh.

This gap in time and location is the most suitable for Guo Jia to launch the "general trend", and the effect is also the best.

Of course, Cao Cao didn't blindly say anything to break his prestige, and quickly turned the topic back to dealing with the Chu State!

"It seems that the previous discord still had some effect, and Lu Xun and Bai Tu were obviously in a hurry." Yang Xiu said with some boasting.

The previous discord plan was mainly done by him - originally the others didn't report any hope, but ...... It doesn't cost much, just let him do it himself!

"Yes, this time thanks to Dezu." Cao Cao looked at Yang Xiu at this time, which was still more pleasing to the eye.

After the marriage between Yang Xiu and Xiahou Juan collapsed, Yang Xiu also waited for another eight years, and married Cao Cao's daughter the year before last......

What's more, because Yang Xiu didn't borrow the Yang family at all before, the interests of other wealthy families are not consistent, and the relationship between him and Cao Zhi is not so good.

Of course, even if Cao Cao looks at Yang Xiu more pleasing to the eye now, it is impossible to really let him command the three armies, which Cao Cao still has in his heart.

However, it is true that this time he sent troops, he still took Yang Xiu with the army, and he was ready to meet the enemy in person!

Other generals of the Xiahou clan and the Cao clan, as well as some of the trusted Yuan Shao's old troops who surrendered after pacifying Hebei, were among them.

In the face of this battle, Cao Cao even temporarily relaxed his suppression of the north and Youzhou, and made up his mind to go all out to severely damage the sharp spirit of the Chu State.

Even if this battle is over, the wealthy families in the north and Youzhou will directly rebel, and they will not hesitate!

As long as the arrogance of the Chu State is stifled, you can go back and clean up the mountains and rivers, even if you are also injured, you can enter the Guanzhong first, recuperate, and even plot to send troops from the Guanzhong to Hanzhong......

After all, there is only one chance to defeat the Chu State, not to mention that if you don't win this time, there is a chance that the Wei State will be destroyed, and you can't expect that Bai Tu will be stupid for the second time!

And Bai Tu is different from Yuan Shao, he is not from the army, even if he personally sits in the army, he must be behind, and if he wants to be like Bai Shao when he won the Great Victory, he almost killed Yuan Shao, and tried to kill Bai Tu, the chance is not great.

Of course, in fact, the chances of Wei are definitely much smaller than Cao Cao imagined!

Just when Cao Cao was "excited" and his staff were studying how to take advantage of Hebei's winter, the Chu army had already begun to distribute cotton clothes......

It doesn't need to be too thick, wearing a layer of cotton clothing that does not affect the activity under the "bulletproof armor" can basically ignore the winter in Hebei, and after Ji makes soldiers equipped, they can also maintain more than eighty percent of their combat power.

Even if the Wei army is a source of soldiers from the north, its combat ability will drop by more than two percent in winter!

Now the armor of the Chu army is mainly based on domed steel helmets and "bulletproof armor", that is, vest plate armor - only protects the upper body, and the waist-vest-like stamped thin steel armor.

In World War I and even World War II, this kind of bulletproof armor can still be seen on the battlefield, and it can be regarded as the last remnant of plate armor......

In winter, it is indeed a little cool to wear it directly on the body, but with cotton clothes, the chill is reduced.

Can the cold winter be used as the right time and place? Of course!

Even in modern warfare, Mao was saved by winter more than once, but ...... It was winter in Moscow.

In contrast, the winter in Hebei, even if it is now a relatively low temperature period, is more livable than North Asia, and cotton clothes are enough!

After Lu Xun forcibly crossed the Yellow River in the Guandu area, he used it as an outpost, and ordered the 16 divisions of the Chu State to gather on the Wangjing Road, with a total of 250,000 troops, and began to use this as a springboard to march out of Hebei.

At the same time, Cao Cao also ignored the objections and prepared to divide the victory and defeat with the Chu army in the area south of Yecheng and Liyang!

Although the national strength of Wei is far inferior to that of Chu, the number of troops is not weak, even if the Xiongnu and Zhuqiang are not introduced, the pure Wei army is not less than the Chu army.

And Cao Cao also accepted Yang Xiu's opinion......

For the wealthy family who insisted on moving north, he compromised to a certain extent, and even ordered Cao Zhi to transfer to Yijing with the small court......

However, the price of leaving was to be slaughtered by Cao Cao, and to "hire" Xianbei people and Wuhuan people.

Of course, like the Western Jin Dynasty, the writing of "hiring" and reading it as "subduing" must be to subdue first, and then give a bone to attract some scattered tribes......

The main expense is to arm them!

In this way, the Wei State is almost twice as large as the Chu State in terms of military strength, but it is just ...... Even Cao Cao himself doesn't think that this is an advantage, if it is a head-to-head duel, he is afraid that Wei will not even have a chance of winning.

During this period, the speed of Chu State's troop transfer also really caught Cao Cao off guard - what about the front line that was said to be closer to me?

Originally, Cao Cao also wanted the front-line soldiers to delay as much as possible, and put the decisive battle at the end of November, preferably in the middle of winter!

However, because the influx of Chu's troops was too fast, far exceeding expectations, it was naturally broken through the initial defense line at the end of October, and a decisive battle began in the area of Liyang without fully mobilizing the army in Wei......

Cao Cao didn't dare to retreat any further, otherwise Nanpi's "Marquis of An Wei" would not be able to contain it.

The reason why he can still hold on now is because Lu Bu has a heavy grudge against the "alien race" entering Hebei, and he did not flank the main force of the Wei army with the Chinese army of Chu, but began to intercept the Xianbei people and Wuhuan people who went south.

On the eighth day of November, Cao Cao had also led his army to Liyang, facing the Chu State and counting the front army, a total of 19 divisions, plus the hammer of the original Xuzhou other troops led by Zhang Fei......

Cao Cao admitted that he had gambling elements, and the winning margin of Wei was even smaller, I was afraid that it would be four or six opens, or even three or seven opens, but this dragon battle between Chu and Wei must have a heavy blow!

However, what I didn't expect was that the battle did not appear, but only ushered in a hammer explosion......
