"Report!"

Outside the room, another soldier hurried in.

The soldier's expression was solemn, and he reported: "My lord, the King of Wei is here and is about to arrive in Xinye County. ”

"Ahh

Cao Ren's eyes showed a shocked look.

Cao Ren really didn't expect that Cao '' would come in such a short time, which was surprising.

Cao Ren instructed: "This official will go to meet him immediately." ”

"Yes!"

When the soldiers retreated, Cao Ren looked at Xiahoudun and said in a deep voice, "Yuan Rang, let's go." The two of them left the palace and hurriedly walked out, and soon came to the 'gate' of the city.

Cao Ren and Xiahoudun waited, and after a short time, the army led by Cao 'Cao' arrived.

Cao 'Cao' came this time, not only with tigers and leopards, but also with more than 30,000 soldiers.

Together with Cao Ren's soldiers stationed in Xinye, the strength exceeded 50,000.

Cao Ren greeted him, came to Cao Cao's '', hugged his fists and said: "The last general Cao '', meet the king of Wei." ”

"No need to be polite!"

Cao '' waved his hand and said, "Let's go, enter the city!"

"No!"

Cao Ren surrendered and followed Cao 'Cao' towards the city.

Entering the city, the army was stationed, and Cao Cao, Cao Ren, Xiahoudun and others were all in the barracks.

The big tent of the Chinese army!

Take your seats!

Cao 'Cao' looked at the people under his command and said, "This time I went south to Nanyang County, I wanted to fight Liu Xiu again and 'swing' Liu Xiu's forces in one fell swoop. Although Liu Xiu's troops went out of Chang'an and directly 'forced' Yanzhou, the key to Liu Xiu was still in Nanyang County. As long as Nanyang County lost the first battle, Liu Xiu had no way to retreat, and Jingzhou lost its barrier. In this battle, we have a chance to win. Ladies and gentlemen, do you have any suggestions for this battle?"

Xun Youzheng said: "King Wei, this time you want to attack Liu Xiu, and it is recommended to outflank Liu Xiu." ”

"How?"

Cao '' eyes showed expectation.

Liu Xiu is amazing, everyone here has seen it.

In the art of war, Liu Xiu did not lose to Cao Cao'.

Therefore, Cao 'Cao' and Liu Xiu fought very cautiously in their hearts, without a trace of underestimating the enemy.

Xun You came to the map hanging in the camp tent and said, "The place we are in is located in Xinye County, Nanyang, and Liu Xiu's location is in Chaoyang County. If we attack Liu Xiu, it will not be easy to get benefits. ”

"The best result is to 'force' Liu Xiu out of the city for a decisive battle, which is conducive to the victory of our cavalry. ”

"But if Liu Xiu doesn't go out of the city, he will have to find another way. ”

Xun You pointed to the map and said, "Chaoyang County is flanked by 'Yin' County and Huyang County, which is our goal." Chen Bing, the king of Wei, Xinye County, confronted Liu Xiu's army. Then, they sent troops to attack the two counties, and then cut off the retreat of Chaoyang County and Deng County in the rear. Once the back road is cut off, Liu Xiu will become a lone soldier. ”

"In this battle, as long as we defeat Liu Xiu, Chang'an's army will collapse. ”

"The key point is the fight between King Wei and Liu Xiu. ”

Xun You's eyes flashed with wisdom, and he said: "Whether it can succeed depends on this battle and whether it can win Liu Xiu." ”

After Cao 'Cao' heard this, he said, "Gongda, if you put it from another angle. If Liu Xiu defeats this king, it also means that our situation will be extremely dangerous, and we will also be defeated like a mountain, and will be driven straight by Liu Xiu. Even, it will affect the battle in the direction of Chang'an, right?"

"King Wei is wise!"

Xun You nodded and replied.

Now that the two sides have launched a decisive battle, it is already a king-to-king posture.

Before, Liu Xiu and Cao 'Cao' fought in Chang'an, and although Cao 'Cao' was defeated in that battle, Liu Xiu's foundation in Yizhou was unstable, and he had just captured Liangzhou, so it was difficult to launch a general attack.

Even if Cao 'Cao' was defeated, Liu Xiu was powerless to attack.

However, this time it is different, Liu Xiu's foundation in Yizhou and Liangzhou has been solid, and he has been operating in Jingzhou and Jiaozhou for many years.

This time, Liu Xiu launched an attack, which was to take down Cao 'Cao' in one go.

The fight between the two sides is already the result of life and death.

Cao's expression was solemn, he looked at the people under his command, and asked, "Princes, do you have any suggestions?"

Cheng Yu said: "King Wei, the old man suggested that a 'elite' elite be sent to quietly lurk on the road from Jingzhou to Yizhou. If we defeat Liu Xiu, then Liu Xiu will inevitably flee to Yizhou. If Liu Xiu enters Yizhou and wants to attack Liu Xiu again, it will add countless variables. It is only right to prepare now. ”

Cao 'Cao' nodded and said, "Zhongde's words are reasonable, and it should be so." ”

Chen Qun said: "King Wei, the soldiers are treacherous. When we are 'engaged' with Liu Xiu, should we also mobilize Sun Quan's side? Let Sun Quan attack Liu Xiu behind his back. ”

Today's Sun Quan has been dormant.

Sun Quan didn't provoke Liu Xiu, nor did he provoke Cao '', but acted like an outsider.

Although Sun Quan is an inconspicuous chess piece, if used, it is also a crucial chess piece, which can influence the situation of the battle at a critical time.

Cao 'Cao' said: "Sun Quan has not dared to clash with Liu Xiu in the past few years. And we fought with Liu Xiu several times, and Sun Quan never participated. Let Sun Quan make a move now, I'm afraid it won't do much good. ”

Xun You said: "King Wei, you have to try to know." ”

Cheng Yu stroked his beard under his chin and said, "The old man also agrees, Sun Quan is not incompetent, this person can forbear, and he is a hero." However, his strength is not strong, so he doesn't dare to deal with Liu Xiu. But today's situation is different, if Sun Quan doesn't make a move, once we are attacked by Liu Xiu, then Sun Quan will not be able to escape the result of being attacked by Liu Xiu. ”

When he said this, Cao's '' face was not very good-looking.

Broken by Liu Xiu!

That's a harsh thing.

However, Cao 'Cao' has to admit that compared with Liu Xiu's strength now, Liu Xiu has an advantage.

Liu Xiu occupies Yizhou, Liangzhou, Jingzhou, and 'Jiao' Prefecture, although there are only four states, but Yizhou and 'Jiao' Prefecture are vast and rich in products, which can greatly ensure that Liu Xiu's grain and grass are safe.

In such a situation, Liu Xiu did have the upper hand.

It's a fact!

Cao 'Cao' took a deep breath, thought for a while, and said: "This king wrote a letter, and then sent someone to Wu County to ask Sun Quan to send troops. Hopefully, Sun Quan will send troops to attack Liu Xiu. ”

Cheng Yu said: "King Wei is wise!"

Cao '' and said, "Do you have any suggestions for other aspects?"

When they heard this, they said no more.

Cao '' and ordered: "Xiahoudun obeys the order!"

"The last general!"

Xiahoudun stepped forward and saluted with his fists folded.

Cao 'Cao' said: "This king will give you 10,000 'elite' sharps to attack Huyang County." Can you take it in three days?"

Xiahoudun said: "The last general will definitely live up to his mission!"

"Good!"

Cao 'Cao' nodded, his expression solemn.

Cao '' and said: "Cao Ren listens to the order!"

"The last general!"

Cao Ren stood up directly and saluted with his fists.

Cao 'Cao' instructed: "This king will give you 10,000 'elite' sharps to attack 'Yin' County." It's the same three days, can you take it?"

Cao Ren said: "The last general will definitely complete the task!"

Cao 'Cao' nodded and said, "Time is pressing, let's go down." ”

"No!"

Xiahoudun and Cao Ren clasped their fists and saluted, then turned around and went down.

Cao 'Cao' and everyone discussed the next transfer of soldiers in Xinye, and then wrote a letter and 'handed it over' to Cheng Yu for arrangement. The crowd dispersed, and Cao Cao sat alone in the camp tent with an expectant look on his face.

Fighting with Liu Xiu is also his expectation.

This battle is finally here!
