Chapter 1000: The Mouth of the Literati
"it!" "it!" "it!"
Wang Xuan looked at the large amount of information from the intelligence department with a bewildered expression, what is the special situation, why did Gan Ning defeat Shouchun and Wei Yan take Xiapi in a blink of an eye?
Come, who can explain to Lao Tzu?
Is that what I told Gan Ning in the first place?
This is a direct step to the stomach, even if the waterway is lubricated enough and smooth enough, but this is too deep, Lao Cao is afraid that it will not be cool to fly?
Xia Pi is less than 20,000, Gan Ning is less than 20,000, and he is less than 20,000 here, so why is it that Cao Cao is surrounded by less than 60,000 troops?
Does this look down on Cao Cao, or does he look down on himself too much?
Isn't this a hornet's nest?
If a Xiangyang is not worth Boss Cao's hard work, now ...... That's not a real deal.
Of course, it is not without good news, at least Cao Zhen, who has just entered Jiangxia, has turned directly to Gan Ning, and has no time to take care of Xiangyang.
But even so, Xiangyang also has 50,000 troops to defend the city, and he is only less than 20,000 here.
Originally, Wang Xuan's plan was that it didn't matter if it was not easy to fight, it would be a bad battle to fight here, and the point used to contain Cao Cao would still be too far behind Cao Cao than the speed of development, and if Cao Cao's strength could be consumed here, it would be good.
But now, the plan really can't keep up with the rapid changes.
Now that the situation is 'very good', if you give up completely, will it discourage everyone's enthusiasm?
Wang Xuan couldn't help but fall into deep thought, and said, how many troops are there on his side now?
It's just over 200,000, a little less, Wang Xuan sighed.
Of course, if you count the combat strength, these 200,000 troops are the best than the 600,000 of the Cao army, but the problem is that there are few troops and the disadvantage of few troops, at least now, Wang Xuan feels the problem of insufficient troops.
The political system established by Wang Xuan is closer to modern times, everything has a strict development plan, and there are unplanned forces, but they are only used as emergency forces, and in fact, Yizhou has already used emergency forces, and it is impossible to start an all-out war now.
After all, fighting a war is not the end of the upper lip touching the lower lip, from the transfer of soldiers, to the allocation of equipment, to the supply of logistics, there is no need for enough money and food, not to mention, this is only military.
And fighting a war is not simply a war for the sake of fighting, but more of a political problem, the occupied areas need to be rebuilt, officials need to manage, the people need to be appeased, a series of problems, I don't know how many times more complicated than a simple war.
The little spare political power accumulated in the past few years has been invested in Yizhou, and it is still stretched, and it can only focus on a few counties in the north of Yizhou, and a large area in the south has no energy and ability to manage it, if it starts a full-scale war with Cao Cao......
Well, I'm afraid that after I go back, I won't be blocked by Lu Su Xizhicai, Guo Jia and others, and I will be annoyed to death by Tian Feng, if I don't have money, the old man can stay at Wang Xuan's house and not leave!
Damn, Wang Xuan slapped on the table, don't think about it, what do you like, since these bastards are so capable of making trouble, then make trouble by themselves, all out of sight and out of mind.
"Dian Wei, come in!" Wang Xuan raised his head and shouted.
"What's wrong?" Dian Wei pushed the door open and walked in.
"Give Wei Yan and Gan Ning an order, let the two of them act cheaply, this news must be fast, you can go in person." Now that he is relatively idle in his hands, this matter can only be left to him.
"Acting cheaply?" Dian Wei frowned and looked at Wang Xuan, "No, you don't have any tricks?" ”
In private, the two are still very casual.
"Fart, what do you call me no longer recruited, this is called not changing to change!" Wang Xuan was black when he even boarded, so he looked down on him.
Dian Wei pouted, bullying him was as stupid as before, isn't this translated, how do I know what to do, wait and see, but when it comes to the mouths of these mouth-sellers, it is called to respond to all changes with the same, and when he speaks, he has to put on a confident smile, as if he is confident.
"What's that look on your face!" Wang Xuan's eyes narrowed slightly, and he looked at Dian Wei indifferently, "Is this any objection to my words?" ”
"Huh?" As soon as he saw this expression, he knew that nothing was good, Dian Wei trembled, and his mouth was bald again.
"Ah what? I think you're floating, you think you're smart, don't you? Wang Xuan said with a smile, his face suddenly changed, and he shouted loudly: "After I came back, I copied the "Thirty-six Plans" ten times. ”
Dian Wei screamed, "Thirty-six Strategies" is a popular compulsory book for military command compiled by Wang Xuan, which every middle and middle level of the army must learn to memorize, there are more than 50,000 words, and copying ten times is more than 500,000 words, just thinking about it, Dian Wei can't help but scream, writing more than 500,000 words, I'm afraid it's not going to die!
"Ah what, look at the generals in the army, which one can't even remember the "Thirty-six Strategies", just you, even Wu Anguo can memorize it!" Wang Xuan directly reprimanded.
What does it mean that even Wu Anguo can memorize it?
Can you explain to me what this means?
Wu Anguo stood at the door with a confused expression, and it happened that he came to Wang Xuan to ask for instructions on the matter, and he listened to it.
"Ah, Wu Anguo is here." Wang Xuan looked at Wu Anguo at the door without changing his face, without any guilty look on his face for saying bad things behind his back, "Come, you tell Dian Wei whether you will memorize "Thirty-six Strategies". ”
"Yes, yes." Wu Anguo didn't understand what was going on, but just said subconsciously.
"Listen!" Wang Xuan fell, "Okay, hurry up and get down to business, come back and write well." ”
"Anguo, what are you talking about?" Wang Xuan turned his head and put on a smiling face.
"Ah, back to the national teacher, the water level of the two rivers has been filled, and the sluice gates can be opened at any time to release water."
"Okay, then inform everyone to prepare and take Fancheng in one fell swoop!"
"No!" Wu Anguo clasped his fists and saluted and turned to leave, knowing that he had gone out of the door, he suddenly remembered that he had forgotten something?
……
Xiangyang, Taishou Mansion.
Xiahoudun sat on the main seat, his eyes swept over Xu Chu, Cao Hong, Huang Zu and the others, and he sighed and said in a low voice: "Withdraw all the people in Fancheng." ”
"Why is that?" Cao Hong frowned and asked, Without Fancheng, this Xiangyang's defensive ability will drop by at least three percent.
"Just now the scout came to report that Wang Xuan's two dams upstream have accumulated enough water levels to open the sluice gates at any time to release water, once the water rushes, Fancheng will inevitably be flooded for most of it." Xiahoudun shook his head and sighed.
"This ......" Cao Hong paused when he heard this, "damn it! ”
As soon as the flood comes, in addition to the city wall, the city will definitely be flooded, and it will be impossible to resist the attack of the Han army at that time.
Everyone knows this, but they are just a little unwilling.
……
The next day, 20,000 troops gathered, Guan Yu and others stood behind Wang Xuan with helmets and armor, in order to take Fancheng, they had been preparing for half a month, and today it was finally time to open the gate and release the water, and it was now the day to take Fancheng.
"Let's go, the army is pulling out, go to Fancheng!" Wang Xuan gave an order.
"Huh?" Everyone almost flashed when they heard this, and turned their heads to look at Wang Xuan with a shocked expression.
What's the situation?
Shouldn't we destroy the dam and release water, why don't you go directly to Fancheng now?
