Chapter 1298: The People's War, Cao Cao's Defeat
"Old cat, what about the task?"
"Ang, hand over the task, what about you? Is it also a task? ”
"yes, this time it was a good one
"Cao Cao should be crying now! Being a traitor doesn't end well1
"Hehe, speaking of which, this unlimited looting mission is really cool! Unfortunately, the people over there could not take it with them, so they had to drive them into the city1
"This is where Yuan Shao is vicious, these people have nothing, Cao Cao has to raise them, if they are caught and raised by Yuan Shao, have you calculated it, maybe almost 100,000 people will be washed into the city in a day, Cao Cao can't cry 1
"yes, then, from the very beginning, was that the purpose of this mission?"
"It should be, I don't know whose idea it was! Enough damage. ”
"Whatever, this is Cao Cao's own doing, who told him to cooperate with whom it is not good, but he wants to cooperate with the Japanese Kou, this is death 1
"Well, you can't live if you do your own evil.1
Now Cao Cao's territory is like a sieve leaking everywhere, there are not many others on Yuan Shao's side, that is, there are many strangers, and the number of strangers who support Cao Cao has always shown a decreasing trend, coupled with the expansion of Cao Cao's territory, the distribution density of aliens is lower, and the number of aliens on Yuan Shao's side is growing, especially after Yuan Shao released the unlimited plunder task, the aliens are frantically flocking to the north of Yanzhou to accept the task.
Unlimited plunder, that is, legal robbery, and you can also get meritorious rewards, this kind of good thing is not just at any time.
Although Cao Cao later issued the corresponding order, the effect was not very good. Because Cao Cao's territory lacked war horses, it would be difficult for the Inhumans to engage in war horses, and they wanted to plunder if they were not mobile. That's literally going to deliver food!
On the contrary, on Yuan Shao's territory, the price of war horses has strangely dropped.
Cao Cao had to rejoice that Liu Bei, a stupid man, used his reputation to tie his hands and feet, if Liu Bei did the same, he really couldn't stand it.
But even if it's just Yuan Shao doing this, Cao Cao can't stand it now!
From Taishan County to Jiyin County, a battle line hundreds of miles long. Hundreds of millions of destitute people were driven into the city, hungry and cold. Cao Cao couldn't ignore it, but after managing these people, Cao Cao's war food would not be enough.
Moreover, after the loss of Dongping and Fucheng. The advantages of Wenyang and Liang Fu were leveled. The original good situation is gone, on the contrary, Yuan Shao is gathering heavy troops to Ningyang, once Ningyang is lost, Lu County will be in danger, once Lu County is contained, Fu Zhi will have to abandon Liang Fu and Wenyang in the north, and Xiahoudun can only retreat to Mengyin.
Arguably. In the north of Yanzhou, Cao Cao's situation is now very bad. In the final analysis, it was because Yan Xing lost Dongping, and if it was investigated, it would be the fiasco of Xu Chu and Liang Xing.
Cao Cao stared at the map, pressing his temples hard, his head ached!
The Western Front is now very passive, Xun You is very passive in Jiyin County, just relying on the blind defense of Jiancheng, although it will not collapse for a while and a half, but it will inevitably be lost after a long time.
is the same himself, trapped in Chen County by Pang Yuan, who is full of tricks, Wei Yan is very active in the periphery, and cooperates with Liu Bei, forcing Ji Ling to give up Zhaoling and retreat to a stable and strong position, Xiahou Yuan is also entangled by Gao Lan, basically nothing can be done, it is very good to be able to hold Wuping.
Looking at the northern front again, Yuan Shao took the initiative in turn, not to mention, the ant-like Inhuman troops have now made Cao Cao's body full of holes and bleeding, and if it continues to bleed like this, it will be quite dangerous!
"Zhicai"
"Lord, we underestimated the power of the Inhumans, and underestimated the power of the Inhumans.1
"Well, Zhicai doesn't need to defend Zhong Kang, he must be severely punished for his light enemy mistakes, including Liang Xing, Yan Xing and others who lost their ground, and they must be punished."
Xi Zhicai coughed lightly a few times, looking a little lacking in strength.
"The lord misunderstood, his subordinates didn't mean to defend them, and the rewards and punishments in the army were clear, which should have been. The subordinate means that we strategically underestimated the energy of the Inhuman, and in a good situation, it was turned over due to the factor of the Inhuman, and now the power of the Inhuman is so great that we all find it tricky. ”
Xi Zhicai took a breath and continued: "At the beginning of the Yingzhou battlefield, it was rumored that Feng Xiao used straggler tactics to annihilate millions of enemy troops, and his subordinates have always been exaggerated by false rumors, but now it seems that this is all true, when the power of the Inhumans is fully exerted, it is really quite amazing1
"We have Inhumans too"
"There is a large gap in numbers, and we are fighting on both sides, so we cannot form a numerical advantage in some parts, and it will be difficult to change the current passive situation for a while and a half."
Cao Cao lowered his hands, his fingers tapping unconsciously on the map, his brows furrowed.
"So what are we going to do now?"
"My lord, the current way is to shorten the battle line and concentrate superior forces to take one side first
"I know that, too, but how do I shorten it? Now that we are taking a step back, the enemy army is one step further, and there is no such thing as reducing the territory and concentrating forces. ”
"My lord, my subordinates mean that we must end the situation of fighting on two fronts." Xi Zhicai looked at Cao Cao with shining eyes and said.
"The end of Zhicai is to make peace with Yuan Shao? The"
"My lord, I can stretch and shrink to be a big husband 1
"How far do you think we can go before Yuan Shao can stop fighting?"
"Coercion and inducement, using Rencheng, Lujun, and Taishan counties as bait to induce Yuan Shao to cease fighting, and at the same time threaten Yuan Shao to burn him with jade. After getting this great benefit, I believe that Yuan Shao will definitely hope that our army will go to war with Liu Bei with all his might, and he will first digest the territory in his hands, and secondly, he can sit and watch the tiger fight, this kind of good thing, Yuan Shao will not want it1
Cao Cao nodded slowly, but his brows did not stretch, but said hesitantly: "But aren't these three counties cheap Yuan Shao for nothing." It also boosted Yuan Shao's strength, if Yuan Shao recuperated for a year next year, then"
"My lord. Now that Yuan Shao has released an unlimited looting task, the people are afraid that they will be robbed of nothing, these hungry and cold people, waiting to be fed, are left to Yuan Shao, and it is also his heavy burden, raising them for a winter and a spring, Yuan Shao doesn't have to pay? And if you want to resume production, you need to invest more. Moreover, those looted goods can also be used to properly supplement our army. ”
Cao Cao's eyebrows jumped, and he said in a deep voice: "I'm afraid this matter will damage his reputation.1
"My lord. The subordinates heard that the Xiliang Army had always been very poorly disciplined, and they did not accept the reorganization of our army, so it was inevitable to do these regrettable things, as long as the lord strictly rectified them afterwards. This is also a spur and trust for those Xiliang generals1
Cao Cao's eyes rolled. Cao Cao fully understands Xi Zhicai's vague statement, this idea is really counted in one fell swoop, and it is black and ruthless enough, Cao Cao is very satisfied with the always gentle and elegant Xi Zhicai to come up with this idea for himself, which is enough to prove Xi Zhicai's loyalty to himself.
Cao Cao nodded: "This strategy is feasible, but the premise is that Yuan Shao can accept the proposal of a truce." ”
"The lord has always said that Yuan Shao did great things and spared his life, which shows that Yuan Shao is conservative. It's easy to see profit and forget righteousness, and such a big benefit is in front of you. His subordinates believed that Yuan Shao would not let it go, and it didn't matter what would happen after he ate it, as long as he ate this temptation, he told him to play >with him, and he didn't want to eat it After saying this, Xi Zhicai was a little out of breath, inhaling heavily, and his face turned a little blue.
"Reasonable! It's very possible, and this will let Yan Xiang run. ”
"Lord Yama is wise1
Yuan Shao Chen Bing Ningyang City, full of spirit, in recent times, Yuan Shao has played very well, so this rhythm, it may not be difficult to recover Mount Tai and Lu County.
Yan Xiang's arrival Yuan Shao was quite displeased, Yan Xiang was also a retainer of the Yuan family, but later he first voted for Lu Bu and then Cao Cao, speaking of which, he was also a slave with three surnames, Yuan Shao was very disdainful of such a person, Cao Cao deliberately sent such a person, did he want to laugh at himself!
Yuan Shao, who had a good face, almost cut Yan Xiang directly, but thinking about the practice of not beheading him, Yuan Shao decided to see Yan Xiang first, and if Yan Xiang was slightly inappropriate, he would immediately kill the sacrificial flag.
"The bus belongs to the squire Yan Xiang, see Lord Yuan."
"Hmph, that's it, I didn't think you still had the courage to come to see the official, the courage is good1
"My lord said that he laughed, the lower official came by order, and he was entrusted by the order of the Son of Heaven and the prime minister, and his duty has nothing to do with courage."
"Hehe, a good one has nothing to do with guts, as a disciple of the Yuan family, you first turned your back on the Lord and surrendered to Lu, Lu Bu was defeated, and then turned to Cao, what is the duty of a shameless person, it is really shameless You 1
Yuan Shao gritted his teeth and reprimanded coldly, Yan Xiang's old face turned red, and he couldn't argue with Yuan Shao's words.
"The lord is right, the lower officials may be ashamed, but the lord is dead, and the lower officials have done their best, so why not turn their allegiance to the Son of Heaven, as for Lu Bu Cao Cao, they are all ministers of the Son of Heaven, colleagues who are ministers in the same palace, how can they be shameless."
"Sophistry! Shameless quibble, tell me what you mean, hurry up and make it clear, so that I can get rid of a rebellion for the Yuan family1
Yan Xiang was in a cold sweat behind his back, and he resented Cao Cao in his heart, but on the surface, he still had to pretend to be extremely calm, and his mind was even more violently spinning, thinking about how to save his life.
"Haha, how could the lower official quibble, this is all the truth, but the adult, he keeps saying that he wants to give the Yuan family hatred, but he is embarrassed to be in cahoots with Liu Bei, who killed his brother, and Cao Cheng, who is avenging the Yuan family, is this not a grace to take revenge and forget righteousness! If the adults themselves are not righteous, what reason can they accuse me1?
"You! Hmph, what a sharp mouth! Let's start with what you mean here1
Yan Xiang's fist hidden in his sleeve was clenched tightly, but he sneered disdainfully on his face and said:
"Hey, my lord, the officials are here, it is a great benefit for the adults, but I don't know if the adults want it, and whether they dare to caries" to be continued......
