Yuan Shu received the document was thrown on the desk, and before discussing it with his subordinates, Yuan Shu summoned Yang Hong first, wanting to listen to Yang Hong's opinion first, so that he could have a clearer understanding first.

Cao Cao's actions Yuan Shu naturally understood, but he just wanted to tie his hands and feet with the name of righteousness, and the ultimate goal was not to achieve the purpose of breaking in Runan.

Yuan Shu naturally didn't know, in fact, Cao Cao was also driven to the shelves, and was forced by Fang Zhiwen to have to fight with Zhang Liang, for Cao Cao, it would be more advantageous to start a war later, for example, after the autumn harvest, the more fully prepared Cao Cao is, the greater the benefits he can get, and the more costs he pays, the more he will pay."

"Guangqi, look at this article, Cao Cao's wolf ambition, how should I deal with it?"

Yang Hong was not in a hurry, arched his hand and saluted, knelt on the side of the desk, reached out to pick up the text on the desk, and began to read it slowly.

After reading the volume, he thought about it, and only after a while did he twist his goatee and slowly speak: "Lord, Cao Cao's move is intended to tie up our army's hands and feet with righteousness, so that he can attack the city in Runan, if our army really does nothing, I am afraid that the south of Runan will be Cao Yin0" Look

Yuan Shu twisted his body irritably, frowned and said, "That's right!" But if you cooperate with Zhang Liang desperately, you will inevitably fall into the pretext of colluding with traitors. ”

Yang Hong smiled: "Exactly, this is how powerful Cao Cao is." However, it is not necessary for us to make a move to hold Cao Cao's footsteps, or in other words, it is not necessary to directly start a war, and we cannot openly join forces with Zhang Liang on the surface. But secretly it is not necessarily impossible to do something1

Yuan Shu pressed forward excitedly, and asked a little anxiously, "What's the best way to get started?" ”

"I can't say the best strategy, but there are a few bad moves. First of all, we still have an army at our disposal, and that is the Inhumans, as long as we send out the task of infiltrating the territory of the Cao Army to plunder, the Inhumans must be happy to do this kind of thing. ”

Yuan Shu patted the desk lightly: "Okay!" Although Cao Cao can't hurt his muscles and bones, at this juncture of spring ploughing, he can make Cao Cao feel like a fish in his throat 1

Yang Hong smiled slightly proudly:

"Besides, we can communicate with Zhang Liang privately. The war can't be fought, but the money and food can be properly transported to Zhang Liang, even if Zhang Liang can consume Cao Cao alone. It is also good for our army, if Zhang Liang can destroy Cao Cao's army, then our army will get a big advantage. Although when Cao Cao and Zhang Liang went to war, our army could not openly pull Cao Jun's hind legs, but. After the war, our army could go to take advantage of the fisherman. When the time comes, the people of the world will have nothing to say1

"Good! Coup! If Cao Cao could understand this, he would not dare to let go of the attack on Zhang Liang, and the danger of Zhang Liang's destruction would be solved! If he can't understand it, but fights with Zhang Liang to the death, it will be our army that will ultimately benefit the fisherman in the future! What a plan, what a plan! Haha"

"Everyone, everyone has read Cao Cao's inscription, is our army responding to it?" Liu Bei asked with a slight frown. None of the vassals present were in a hurry to speak, because there was one who had the most opinions. The person who responds the fastest hasn't spoken yet!

"Big brother, according to my meaning, that is, to beat hard, it is best to take the opportunity to completely exterminate the yellow turban thieves in Tongbai Mountain, so as to get rid of this big trouble1

Zhang Fei said, his eyes widened and he glanced around, the momentum was very majestic, Guan Yu was stationed in Wuling, and there was no one here who was more authoritative than him.

Liu Bei pursed his lips, dismissive of Zhang Fei's proposal, listening to Zhang Fei's general no good results, Liu Bei turned his gaze to Wenchen.

Sun Qian opened his mouth and said: "If according to what the three generals said, the Yellow Turban Thief is a big disaster, and there is another Cao Cao, let me ask the Third General, compared with the Yellow Turban Thief, how is Cao Cao?" ”

"This"

Liu Bei nodded and said, "So, the Yellow Turban Thief can't be beaten?" Isn't that morally violent1?

"Lord, this is not against morality1 Zhuge Jin said with a smile.

"What did Ziyu say about this?"

"Lord, the Yellow Turban thief is a thief, Cao Cao is also a thief, one is a rebellious thief, the other is a thief who steals the country, they are all the targets that we should eradicate, and now that the two thieves are fighting, we should naturally find ways to make the fight more intense, which is not contrary to morality1

"That's right, big brother, both of them are bastards, now that dog-eat-dog, it's right that we should add a fire to them, we should go and pull the bias, right, Mr. Zhuge ?"

"Hehe, exactly 1

"This" Liu Bei is still a little hesitant, once this kind of thing is done and spread, Liu Bei's reputation will stink, benevolence and hypocrisy are really just a piece of paper.

"Lord, although the words of the three generals are rough, but the truth is indeed right, now Cao Cao's strength is developing rapidly, I want Cao Cao to take the land of a county and a county, go south and annex Huainan, and invade and swallow Xuzhou in the east, if this thief continues to grow, and after Runan, Cao Cao almost dominates the land of the two states, with a population of tens of thousands, and millions of soldiers, and then Cao Cao will be domineering and domineering, and there will be no one to control Cao Cao's domineering! This is not the blessing of the great Han, and the lord must not be appeased1

Sun Qianzheng persuaded him, Liu Bei frowned and thought for a while, then looked at Chen Zhen, who had not made a sound, and Chen Zhen also spoke: "The subordinates seconded the proposal, this document does not need to be ignored, on the contrary, Zhang Liang and Cao Cao should be supported." ”

"Lord, don't worry, we just need to ignore it, and the lord can also nominally support Cao Cao's call, but it's just verbal, as for how to support Zhang Liang, it's up to those businessmen to do it."

"Merchant?" Liu Bei looked at Zhuge Jin a little strangely.

Zhuge Jin smiled and said, "Yes, it is the merchants, they naturally know how to make the war longer and more intense, especially those merchants who sell weapons1

"Oh, I understand, 1, Liu Bei was stunned

Cao Cao's essay really got a positive response from everyone, but it was only a positive response. Everyone impassionedly praised Cao Cao's approach, but for their own reasons, these princes were incapable of acting in line with Cao Cao. can only support Cao Cao infinitely morally.

In private, Zhang Liang suddenly received a lot of sponsorship, including money, food and war supplies, although Zhang Liang had the intention to take advantage of the benefits and not contribute, but Cao Cao obviously didn't speak so well, Cao Cao really wanted to kill Zhang Liang! Not to mention the good land in Runan, the key is to destroy Zhang Liang before he can do it to Ji Ling!

Thereupon. Cao Cao began to organize his army to go on an expedition, so he was in Chen County and Qian County. Suddenly, a lot of player troops began to infiltrate Cao Cao's territory, so Cao Cao found that Zhang Liang's city was getting higher and thicker!

Cao Cao's attack was concentrated on the southern front. Lou, Anfeng to Fubo line. This line of defense was not easy to fight, because the terrain was relatively flat and the distance between cities was small, and the Yellow Turbans had built a large number of fortresses in these places, as well as a large number of Inhuman troops.

If Cao Cao wants to conquer the key points, he must first clear the periphery, but the periphery is not without losses, and the Yellow Turban Army has made up its mind to resolutely defend. Although Cao Cao's army is strong, there is no such thing as immortality in attacking fortifications. Moreover, in such a dense place of fortress clusters, Cao Cao had to guard against the enemy's sneak attacks and surprise attacks from time to time, as well as his own logistical security and other problems.

Therefore, it is impossible to fight quickly, and the protracted period not only consumes a large amount of Cao Cao's military strength, but also consumes Cao Cao's money, food and materials, especially the two aspects of paper charms and remote equipment.

Because most of the resources in these two aspects are controlled in the hands of Cao Cao's enemies, with the consumption of the war, the price of these two materials began to skyrocket, but Cao Cao could not help but buy, otherwise he was likely to fall behind on the battlefield, especially large long-range equipment, which was an indispensable material in the battle.

As a result, Cao Cao painfully found that although his territory was large and the population was large, he could not fully produce large-scale equipment to meet the needs of the war, and this mistake should not be blamed on Cao Cao, but on Fang Zhiwen, who forced Cao Cao to rush into battle, so that Cao Cao did not have time to digest and integrate the newly acquired Xuzhou.

"It's not okay to go on like this, it's too bad for me 1 Cao Cao walked around in front of the map anxiously, the current tug-of-war is really unfavorable, especially the long-range strikes of the aliens are more and more headaches for Cao Cao, because his long-range equipment can't keep up with the consumption, Cao Cao's attack is becoming more and more difficult, and more importantly, Cao Cao doesn't want to consume too much in the war against Zhang Liang, Yuan Shu's idea of sitting on the mountain and watching the tiger fight, how can Cao Cao not see it?

"Lord, then slow down the offensive, okay 1 Xi Zhicai suggested very calmly.

"Slow down the offensive? Zhicai said to slow down the offensive? ”

"Yes, the enemy army is tenacious, our army can also build a fortress to fight against it, the enemy army wants to fight the war into a war of attrition, and their goal has obviously been initially achieved, use intensive fortress warfare to limit our attack power, and then use the consumption of equipment, grain and grass to finally defeat us, lord, we are not at war with Zhang Liang's family, but with the many princes behind them, we must not rush to achieve it overnight."

Cao Cao stopped, stroked his beard and thought silently: "Zhicai said that he won't fight?" ”

"Of course you have to fight, otherwise you won't be able to get off the stage, but you can fight slowly, digest Xuzhou as soon as possible while fighting, and turn the territory into strength, not to mention anything else, at least the large-scale equipment can no longer be controlled by others1

Cao Cao suddenly: "Fight slowly!" That's right, play slowly! The Japanese officials of the Ming Dynasty will return to Qian County, and this place will be entrusted to Gongda and Yuan Rang. ”

"Hehe, this is very good, if you can't concentrate on turning the results of the battle into your own strength, everything will be in vain1

In April, Cao Cao saw that Zhang Liang was in a hurry, so he handed over the battlefield to Xiahoudun and Xun You, and he returned to Qian County to preside over the overall situation.

After Xiahoudun took over the command of the southern front, he immediately began to play fortress warfare against fortress warfare, the two sides of the war were more confrontational between the bases, and then through night battles, raids, infiltrations and other tactics to consume and attack the opponent, among which the protagonist was like an alien army.
