Pang Degong chuckled and said, "If the tiger and leopard ride into Jingzhou, the outcome is unknown!"

Cao Cao had a playful look on his face and said: "Jiangdong has the Yangtze River, and it is difficult to enter Jiangdong. But the tiger and leopard rode into Jingzhou, but it was a matter of walking on the ground, and it was a breeze. The combat effectiveness of the two armies is very different, how can Pang Gong come to the conclusion that the victory or defeat is unknown?"

Pang Degong's face did not change, and said: "The old man is not in the officialdom, so he doesn't know much. Personal speculation should be that the winner or defeat is unknown. ”

"Haha...... It makes sense, after all, I don't know. ”

Cao Cao chuckled, and his gaze turned to Liu Xiu.

Looking at Liu Xiu's eyes, Cao Cao was full of anticipation and asked, "Mr. Xiao Liu is Liu Jingzhou's son, and he must know the situation in Jingzhou well." Mr. Liu said, what will be the result of the tiger and leopard riding into Jingzhou?"

Liu Xiulang said: "There is no doubt about defeat!"

Cao Cao's face immediately changed, and the eyes that looked at Liu Xiu were even more curious and contemptuous.

The tiger and leopard rider is the elite of the world and has strong combat effectiveness.

Liu Xiu directly concluded that he would definitely lose, which was a bit arbitrary.

"It seems that Liu Xiu has been overestimated. ”

In Cao Cao's heart, such an idea was born.

Xun Yu, Xun Yu, Guo Jia and other ministers all shook their heads lightly. However, Xiahou Yuan and other generals were already glaring angrily. The elite of the tiger and leopard riding is obvious to all.

Liu Xiu said that the tiger and leopard ride would be defeated, which was simply talking nonsense with his eyes open.

Xiahou Yuan stared at Liu Xiu and said slowly: "Mr. Xiao Liu is Liu Jingzhou's son, and it is reasonable to say that Jingzhou will win." After all, Mr. Liu can't say that Jingzhou can't stop it. ”

Xiahoudun immediately echoed: "It's true, Mr. Xiao Liu has a hard time. ”

After speaking, Xiahoudun burst into laughter.

Mao Jue said again: "Mr. Xiao Liu's literary brilliance is flying, and I can't wait for it." But on military strategy, hehe, Mr. Xiao Liu's words are not only boastful, but also arrogant. ”

Cao Hong said again: "People are valuable in knowing themselves, Mr. Xiao Liu's literary skills are good, but being a man is a little worse." ”

The civil and military officials under Cao Cao spoke one after another.

All of them have vicious mouths and show no mercy, even if some people exonerate Liu Xiu on the surface, they are actually secretly sarcastic.

Wen Ping sat next to Liu Xiu, his brows furrowed, and a worried look appeared in his eyes.

As the general of Jingzhou, he knows the situation in Jingzhou best. After watching the martial arts of the tiger and leopard cavalry, he also thought that the tiger and leopard cavalry were invincible on the battlefield, and Jingzhou could not find a comparable army.

Especially in Jingzhou, which has been peaceful for many years, military discipline is lax, and the combat effectiveness of the soldiers is not strong.

Only in the border with Jiangdong is that the combat effectiveness is slightly stronger. However, compared with Cao Cao's tiger and leopard riding, there are too many differences. In such a situation, Wen Ping didn't know how Liu Xiu wanted to explain, in short, it was very difficult.

Liu Xiu looked calm at this moment.

In the face of the accusations of Cao Cao's officials, his mood did not waver in the slightest.

Liu Xiu arched his hand and said slowly: "Princess, I just told the truth. As the so-called advice is harsh, it seems that this is indeed the case. To tell the truth, it's not recognized. ”

Cao Cao shouted: "Silence!"

In an instant, the civil and military officials on the high platform all fell silent.

Everyone's eyes were on Cao Cao.

Cao Cao looked at Liu Xiu again and said, "Mr. Xiao Liu thinks that he is telling the truth, may I ask Mr. Xiao Liu, how can Jingzhou resist in the face of tigers and leopards?"

Liu Xiu laughed and said, "Sikong is proficient in the art of war, and I admire him very much." It's just that Sikong thinks that the tiger and leopard are invincible, and he has broken the image of Sikong as a wise and martial artist in my mind. ”

Cao Cao's hand clutching his beard under his chin tightened, and he tore off two beards, grinning in pain.

Liu Xiu continued: "No matter how powerful the tiger and leopard cavalry is, it is a cavalry after all. ”

"The battlefield of cavalry lies in the wide and flat terrain. ”

"On the grassland, the reason why people on horseback such as Wuhuan Xiongnu Xianbei can be invincible is because the grassland is vast, and the war horses can be vertical and horizontal at will. ”

"In the north, the terrain is flat and open, and the role of the war horse is still the same, and it can exert its greatest strength. ”

"In Jingzhou, the terrain is changeable, the mountains and rivers are vertical and horizontal, and the rivers are all over the place. ”

"Let's ask, can the tiger and leopard riding on the plains be able to crisscross Jingzhou?"

Liu Xiu glanced around at everyone and said, "In addition, there is a lot of rain in the south of the Yangtze River. Last moment, the sun was still shining. I can't say, it's going to rain heavily. When a rain fell, the ground was muddy and difficult to walk, and the tigers and leopards rode in, and I am afraid that the war horses that fell to the ground were no less than two or three out of ten. ”

"When the formation is chaotic, the war horses are chaotic, and you can't command, how can you kill the enemy?"

"Not only can you not kill the enemy, but you will also kill each other. ”

Liu Xiu said confidently: "In my opinion, the tiger and leopard rode into Jingzhou, and only a thousand old, weak, sick and disabled people were sent, they didn't have to fight, just wait for you to mess up, and then collect the results of victory." ”

In a word, the tiger and leopard ride was degraded to worthless.

Of course, Liu Xiu's words are exaggerated, but they are also based on facts.

After Cao Cao listened, his face darkened.

Cao Cao is a master of the art of war, proficient in marching and arranging, after listening to Liu Xiu's words, he understands that Liu Xiu's words have a certain truth. It is true that Liu Xiu exaggerated the factors of terrain and weather, but it is also true.

Cheng Yu stood up and arched his hand: "Mr. Xiao Liu, according to what you say, Jingzhou does not need to be defended by troops, as long as there are key factors such as geographical location and weather, the army of the imperial court will not be able to go south and attack Jingzhou?"

These words were aimed at Liu Xiu's exaggeration of terrain and weather.

After Cao Cao heard this, he looked at Liu Xiu again, wanting to see how Liu Xiu would respond?

Liu Xiu also stood up, neither humble nor arrogant: "Soldiers are impermanent, water is impermanent, and fighting with soldiers does not mean that you are invincible if you occupy a favorable geographical location and weather, but you can achieve the effect of invincibility by making reasonable use of geographical location and weather." ”

"The tiger and leopard ride is invincible, and once it encounters heavy rain, even ordinary infantry can't compare. ”

"Sikong is in charge of the northern states, and the soldiers are good enough to eat, although there are countless soldiers. But as long as you deal with it properly, it's not impossible to beat. Just like the Battle of Guandu, there was a huge disparity between the forces of Sikong and Yuan Shao, and in the end Sikong won. ”

"Therefore, the strength of the force is not the fundamental reason for determining the victory or defeat. ”

"On the battlefield, nothing is impossible, everything is possible. ”

Liu Xianse said: "Whether it is the tiger and leopard cavalry, or the rest of the army, you can come to block the water and cover the earth. Cheng Yu's arrogant posture and strong self-confidence surprised Cheng Yu.

Cheng Yu's eyes flashed with murderous intent, and he said coldly: "Mr. Xiao Liu is high-minded, Yu admires." ”

Cheng Yu didn't argue with Liu Xiu anymore and returned directly to the seat.

The rest of the people looked at Liu Xiu, but there was a trace of hesitation in their eyes, and they didn't go up to question again.

Liu Xiu's words were sharp, and even Cheng Yu was willing to bow down.

In Cao Cao's heart, he admired Liu Xiu even more. He is also quite proficient in the art of war. Cao Cao changed the topic and said: "Mr. Xiao Liu is proficient in the art of war, I don't know, what kind of military books does Mr. Xiao Liu read on weekdays?"

Liu Xiu replied: ""The Art of War", "The Art of War", "Sima Law", "Wei Xuanzi", etc., as long as they are military books, they are all involved. ”

Cao Cao was surprised in his heart.

Unexpectedly, Liu Xiu's knowledge is so wide, no wonder his words are so sharp.

Cao Cao had the intention of taking the school examination and asked: "When people are always strong and poor, especially when they read a book, they should understand the meaning. If you look at it at random, I'm afraid you won't be able to understand it thoroughly, and you can only stay at the point of talking on paper. ”

Liu Xiu shook his head and said: "Reading below, just look at the essentials and comprehend the main idea." Just as Sikong governs the country and oversees the government, he controls the general direction, and will not ask about the whereabouts of every money or thing, and will not investigate the appointment and dismissal of a petty official. ”

"The same is true for reading. ”

"It's enough to get to the bottom of it and understand the essence. ”

Liu Xiu said: "If you have to delve into the meaning of a word, the source of a paragraph, that is what a scholar does, not what a general should do." ”

Cao Cao's eyes were even more shining.

Liu Xiu's words moved Cao Cao again, making it difficult for Cao Cao to refute.

At this time, Cao Cao couldn't wait for Liu Xiu to serve him.

Seeing this, Xun Yu said: "Mr. Xiao Liu is not only brilliant, but also strategic. The lord wanted to test Mr. Xiao Liu, and now it seems that Mr. Xiao Liu is really talented. ”

A few words, give Cao Cao down the steps.

Cao Cao laughed and said, "If Wen Ruo's words are reasonable, Mr. Xiao Liu is indeed talented. ”

Liu Xiu arched his hand and said: "Sikong praised!"

Xiahoudun stood up, hugged his fists and said: "Lord, after the tiger and leopard cavalry exercise, there are still young generals in the army who want to perform." Well, let's move on. ”

Cao Cao glanced at Liu Xiu, waved his hand and said, "Accurate!"

Xiahou was ordered, and even if it was arranged
