Volume 2, The Surging Ocean Chapter 41, Strategizing
Jingzhou, Jiangxia County, Yue soldiers camp.
Sun Quan led the army to the west for the second time to conquer Huangzu, and Shuangyue naturally accompanied him all the way. At this time, Shuangyue was sitting upright in the big tent to deal with some military affairs, and there was a sudden sound of hurried footsteps outside the tent, but when she saw Huixian lift the curtain and go straight into the tent, she said hurriedly before saluting:
"Report to the general, only to receive a messenger. Cao Cao's army had already left Yecheng and headed northeast. ”
Frost Moon was shocked when she heard this, and then put down the brush in her hand, and after thinking about it for a while, she already had the answer in her heart.
"Cao Cao sent troops to the northeast, it must be an expedition to Wuhuan." Shuangyue muttered, "If you want to say that Cao Cao is really bold, he is not afraid that the army will go deep into the hinterland, and Liu Biao will take advantage of the situation to attack the rear?" ”
No, Cao Cao was by no means unwise, so how could he not be aware of the threat from the south? In this case, why did he dare to go on an expedition and go deep into the bitter cold land of the north?
Suddenly, a person's figure jumped into the eyes of Frost Moon, Liu Bei Liu Xuande!
Yes, it was precisely because of Liu Bei's existence that Liu Biao was unable to send troops to attack Cao Cao's rear. Liu Biao was extremely jealous of Liu Bei, on the one hand, he wanted to use him to prevent Cao Cao's attack, and on the other hand, he didn't want Liu Bei to become bigger. If he really wants to send troops to attack Cao Cao's rear, Liu Bei, who occupies Xinye, can take advantage of the situation to expand his power, and it is difficult to ensure that it will not be difficult to adjust and become a problem of elbows and armpits. Liu Biao, who was content to defend the land, would not let this happen.
If you knew this, you should have gotten rid of Liu Bei first!
But that is not the right thing to do. If Liu Bei is eliminated, the conservative forces in Jingzhou will not be able to contain it. Wanting to rely on conservatives to defend against Cao Cao is tantamount to a fool's dream. From this point of view, it is very necessary to let Liu Bei, a person who will never compromise with Cao Cao, serve as the first barrier in Jingzhou.
Cao Cao must have calculated that Liu Biao would not send troops to the Northern Expedition, so he dared to boldly expedition to Wuhuan with confidence. Is this Cao Cao's own idea? Or was it the idea that counsellor gave him?
In an instant, a thin figure jumped into the eyes of the general of the military god, Guo Jia and Guo Fengxiao, it must be his strategy!
For the well-informed Sky Heavenly Kingdom, Frost Moon knows Guo Jia well. Although she has never met Guo Jia, she knows a lot about Guo Jia's resourcefulness. Guo Jia is famous for his good and strange schemes, and it is thought that during the Battle of Guandu, the plan to attack the army of the Heavenly Kingdom of Heaven was written by Guo Jia. Therefore, Shuangyue judged that Cao Cao's adventure to the Northern Expedition must have come from Guo Jia's plan.
Those who are good at scheming can always find a delicate balance. If there is more than 80% chance of winning a battle, the opponent will leave a way back in advance, or even flee before fighting; Therefore, even if it is a victory, it is difficult to win by a large margin, and the results are decent. But if there is less than a 50% chance of winning a battle, then the opponent may fight to the death, or even press it all; In this way, the result is either a big victory or a big defeat, and this kind of battle is also called "fairy battle". How to find a delicate balance between adventure and recklessness is a great test of the wisdom and courage of the planner, and even the element of his own luck. However, in this regard, Guo Jia has done a particularly good job, on the one hand, it is naturally because of his outstanding ability, and on the other hand, it is also due to his personality. Guo Jia is a good gambler, and he is a big gambler, his life hangs by a thread, and he will not rest until he dies.
In terms of winning by surprise, Shuangyue knows that she is not as good as Guo Jia. It's not that Shuangyue thinks that her strategy is under Guo Jia, but that she is helpless to be trapped in reality. The Heavenly Kingdom of the Heavens is small and outnumbered, and it is difficult to withstand large-scale human losses, so Frost Moon will never make a big bet that will be fully suppressed when the odds of victory are fifty percent. However, Guo Jia is different, he dares to gamble, and Cao Cao's "capital" is strong and can afford to gamble, plus Cao Cao has great trust in Guo Jia, the two complement each other and cooperate tacitly. If Guo Jia can be eliminated, Cao Cao will lose one of his strongest arms, which will be a great benefit to the Heavenly Kingdom.
Of course, the Heavenly Kingdom also thought about assassinating Guo Jia. However, Guo Jia and Cao Cao are inseparable, and they are guarded by the Tiger Guards all the year round, which is extremely difficult to do on weekdays. The only chance is to take advantage of the chaos on the battlefield and surprise the attack. However, the Central Plains Military Region and the Northern Military Region have changed their tactics since they were severely damaged in the Battle of Guandu, from attacking and harassing Cao's army to infiltrating famous families. Therefore, there is no large-scale mobile force that can be used for sneak attacks, and Guo Jia is not in a position to do for a while. It seems that if you want to get rid of this person, you have to think of another way.
After some thought, Frost Moon asked again:
"This time Cao Cao sent troops to the north, Guo Jiake went with the army?"
"Intelligence shows that Guo Jia went north with Cao Cao." Huixian replied.
Hearing this, Shuangyue slapped a few cases suddenly, raised her head and laughed loudly:
"Hahaha, it's really a heavenly death Cao Cao!"
Hui Xian had never seen the cold and indifferent Frost Moon laugh so loudly, and she was puzzled in her heart.
"General, what's going on?" Hui Xian asked respectfully, "Hui Xian doesn't know, and I ask the general for advice." ”
"The expedition to Wuhuan must be a difficult journey. Liaoxi is far away from the Central Plains, and the climate along the way is harsh, ordinary people can't withstand such bumps, let alone Guo Jia, who is frail and sickly? Shuang Yue's face showed unconcealable joy, and explained to Hui Xian, "Cao Cao didn't place Guo Jia in the rear, but took him north with him, I think it won't be long before I receive the news of Guo Jia's death." If Guo Jia dies, Cao Cao goes to an arm, what if Cao Cao doesn't die in the sky? ”
When Huixian heard this, she couldn't help but smile and said excitedly:
"Hui Xian understands! If so, it will be a great joy for the Heavenly Kingdom! ”
Frost Moon smiled in affirmation.
"By the way, General, there is still one thing to report." Hui Xian continued.
"Huixian, please speak." Frost Moon responded.
"According to the report of General Ren, commander-in-chief of the Southern Military Region, there was a sudden rebellion in the counties and counties of Jingzhou." Hui Xian reported.
"The Yellow Turban Remnant? How can it be? Wasn't the Yellow Turban Army near Jingzhou exterminated a long time ago? Shuangyue thought for a moment, and in an instant figured out the reason for the matter, "I'm afraid this is Cao Cao's plan, he sent someone to pretend to be the Yellow Turban Army, so as to disturb the security of Jingzhou." In this way, can there be action on Ruyue's side? ”
General Ren reported that she had secretly sent people to exterminate this group of Yellow Turban remnants and maintain the stability of Jingzhou. I believe that good news will come soon. Huixian replied.
"Well done Ruyue!" Shuangyue bowed her head in approval, then changed her words and said coldly, "If Cao Cao wants to play tricks with us, his strength is far from enough, and one day we will find him to settle accounts!" Cao Cao once slaughtered the soldiers of the Heavenly Kingdom of the Clouds, and I want him to pay for it with blood! ”
Huixian looked at the confident frost moon in front of her, and seemed to have seen the dawn of victory. She firmly believes that this so-called troubled hero will definitely end in failure, because Cao Cao's opponent is the Heavenly Kingdom of the Clouds, and there is an invincible military god general.
