Chapter 359: On the eve of the decisive battle
Looking at the back of Gatoni leaving,
Cao Cao and all the civil and military forces under his command fell into deep thought.
"Everyone, I didn't expect this Chu Feng to be the so-called traverser, from a thousand years later, no wonder he can always develop some strange things!" Cao Ren frowned and said with some annoyance.
"Lord, although this matter has not yet been decided, what Chu Feng Gatoni said is indeed reasonable, it is not like he is panicking, I am afraid that King Guishan is indeed worried that Chu Feng will become bigger!"
Xun You also frowned and said.
Cao Cao frowned calmly and took a deep breath, he thought about it relatively more, since Chu Feng came to Huaxia a thousand years later, he would be stronger than himself in terms of knowledge and all aspects.
But he looked at all the civil and military forces under his command again,
These people have always followed him, if they give up, it will be unfair to them, not to mention that Chu Feng has countless Cao Clan's Xiahou Clan's blood on his hands,
Maybe Chu Feng is right in height,
But these hatreds cannot be extinguished!
Thinking of this, Cao Cao's iron fist clenched slightly, revealing a trace of anger: "Even if Chu Feng comes 1,800 years later, I still want to kill him, thinking that Yuan Rang and the others will avenge their hatred!" ”
This sentence can also be regarded as a reassurance for everyone.
"Lord, then you want to fight Chu Feng with Yuan Shao?" Guo Jia raised his eyebrows, he was thinking, if Yuan Shao's army of more than 200,000 is counted, it can be regarded as tens of thousands on his side, plus the Kushan Empire.
There are at least five or six hundred thousand troops!
With such a large scale, can Chu Fengyan be undefeated?
Cao Cao hesitated, and finally said: "The decisive battle, Yizhou doesn't take it!" ”
The crowd hesitated slightly, but said nothing.
They can understand whether Yizhou takes it or not, but this decisive battle is too abrupt and destined to have great pressure on logistics.
"Lord, since the decisive battle, then you should go all out, and your subordinates think that they should immediately write to inform Xun Yu, and ask him to mobilize grain and grass from all over the country and hoard Tongguan in case of emergency."
Guo Jia hurriedly said.
"Lord, Hanzhong can draw some grain and grass, and in addition, the soldiers and horses in Hanzhong can ask Liu Zhang for some military rations first, with Liu Zhang's timid and fearful character, supplemented by our people's foreshadowing, it should be given!"
Xun You also hurriedly suggested.
"There is also Yuan Shao, Yuan Shao has a strong background, this time he has repeatedly begged the lord to send troops and let him fund some grain and grass, I think he will also draw it out as much as possible, otherwise he is also worried about losing head-on."
Guo Jia then suggested.
Cao Cao nodded heavily, what the two of them said was true, counting their own food stocks and Liu Zhang's and Yuan Shao's, they should be able to support their own army and the legions of the Kushan Empire for more than half a year.
As long as we wait until this autumn's harvest, the new grain can be renewed.
"Order, immediately let Xun Yu draft the edict of the Son of Heaven to Yizhou, and let Liu Zhang's old boy prepare 100,000 stone military rations for me to use to attack Chu Feng, and use some dark lines to pave the way."
"The order was sent to Xiahou Yuan to withdraw from Hanzhong with his infantry as soon as possible after obtaining military rations, and to wait for the entry of the Guishan Legion to Chang'an. As for Hanzhong, it will be handed over to Yu Ban to guard! ”
Cao Cao issued two military orders in a row, and he was also preparing for the assistance of the Kushan Legion, as long as the Guishan Legion could come, the infantry under his command could follow and advance at any time.
If Guishan just shook a shot,
Then Cao Cao made such a big move, and it was not impossible to hit Yizhou again.
"How many soldiers and horses can our army mobilize!" Cao Cao looked at Xun You and asked.
"120,000 foot soldiers, 50,000 Xiliang iron cavalry, 10,000 headquarters cavalry, a total of 180,000 soldiers and horses, in addition to these soldiers and horses, our army still has 30,000 county soldiers, and the combat power is average!"
Xun You immediately replied.
"Hanzhong can stay with 10,000 foot soldiers, and if you think that Liu Zhang's old thing doesn't have the ability to take the initiative to attack, Xiliang will stay with 10,000 cavalry and 10,000 county soldiers to ensure that Xiliang will not be temporarily disturbed."
"There are 20,000 county soldiers left in Chang'an, and 10,000 headquarters iron cavalry to ensure the safety of Chang'an." Cao Cao frowned and arranged, 180,000 soldiers and horses, 30,000 county soldiers, after some dispatch,
There are still 110,000 foot soldiers left, and 40,000 Xiliang iron riders.
The Xiliang Iron Cavalry will be in Luoyang, just wait for Xiahou Yuan to bring these infantry.
That is to say, Cao Cao can gather 150,000 soldiers and horses, of which 110,000 are the foundation he has accumulated over the years, and 40,000 are the Xiliang iron cavalry obtained by pacifying Xiliang.
"Summoning Xun Yu, while ensuring spring ploughing, ensure logistics as much as possible, men should fight, women should be lucky, there is no doubt!" Cao Cao said loudly.
"No!" Xun You nodded in response.
"Come on, go and summon Xun Chen, just say that I have made a decision!" Cao Cao looked at the guards and commanded.
"No!" The guards should go down and retreat.
After a long time, Xun Chen was brought over.
"I've seen Cao Gong in Xia Xun Chen, and I heard that Cao Gong has made a decision?" Xun Chen showed hope on his face, no matter what, it would be difficult for Yuan Shao's family to defeat Chu Feng, this is an indisputable fact.
Even if the Wuhuan Xiongnu are united, this is also the case.
"The decision depends on the sincerity of your Lord!"
"I think Mr. also knows that my Cao Cao's soldiers and horses are still in Hanzhong, and Luoyang is just a part, since you want me to give up Yizhou and Chu Feng for a decisive battle, it's not impossible."
"My 100,000 army still needs a lot of rations, and this battle will not end in a short time, as long as I agree to fund grain and grass at the beginning, I can give up the decisive battle between Yizhou and Chu Feng."
Cao Cao's shrewd eyes looked at Xun Chen.
"This" Xun Chen has both joys and sorrows, agreeing to send troops is naturally a good thing, but asking for grain and grass, this estimate is really difficult, after all, Yuan Shao is also responsible for the rations of the northern nomads,
100,000 cavalry, people eat horses and chew every day is an astronomical number.
For this era of low transportation capacity, it is estimated that half of Jizhou will participate in the transportation of grain, which is still a fight at home, if it is a long-distance battle, so many nomads will not be able to supply it at all.
"Gong Cao, Chu Feng is a common mortal enemy, and sending troops is also for your own interests." Xun Chen struggled to retort.
"Having said that, it seems that the benefits of attacking Yizhou are greater, if you promise to provide 300,000 stone grain and grass, I will immediately let the three armies go straight to Luoyang and annihilate Chu Feng in one fell swoop!"
Cao Cao said loudly.
"Three hundred thousand?" Xun Chen frowned,
300,000 military rations can supply 100,000 troops to eat for hundreds of days, which is definitely not a small amount, but at the moment it is difficult for him to refuse, after all, the opportunity to get it is not easy to get, and the key Jizhou grain reserves have long been in an emergency.
Unless, unless those families can lend a hand!
Thinking of this, Xun Chen frowned, it was too difficult for those bloodsucking insects to produce food.
"Cao Gong, I can't make a decision on this matter, and I still need to ask my lord for instructions." Xun Chen saw that Cao Cao said nothing, so he had to sigh and say.
"Naturally, you and Ben Chu said that my Cao Cao has no food, as long as he can provide me with military food, my Cao Cao is willing to punish Chu Feng with him." Cao Cao repeated in a hoarse voice.
A look of sincerity!
"I understand it below!" Xun Chen smiled bitterly.
"Come on, lead two good horses for Mr. Xun, prepare dry food, and let's go!" Cao Cao couldn't help but say that it was better to do these things sooner rather than later, he had to do these things as soon as possible.
"Farewell!" Xun Chen clenched his fists and left.
Looking at the back of Xun Chen's departure, Cao Cao's eyes narrowed slightly, looked at everyone and waved his hand: "Let's all go down and prepare, there may be a war waiting for you after a while!" ”
All the civil and military forces should go down together.
Watching everyone leave, Cao Cao looked at Cao Ren and said, "Zixiao, you follow me to talk to Gatoni, since this person is the same traverser as Chu Feng, he is naturally a rare talent." ”
"At the very least, this person should have knowledge that is not weaker than Chu Feng, it would be great if he could win him over!"
"No!" Cao Ren nodded, and immediately asked someone to prepare some gold and silver.
————
After a while, in a military tent.
Gatoni was lying there meditating, but he had inquired about Chu Feng clearly, and his development was not bad, but on the whole, it was still a little worse, and even the crossbow armor could be seen.
He had absolute confidence to defeat Chu Feng.
Of course, this has to be based on the superiority of troops.
At the thought of defeating Chu Feng, his harem big and small bridges, Diao Chan, Zhen Mi and other beauties were all his, and his eyes were all shining, these were all unbeatable beauties.
A kiss to Fangze, no regrets in this life!
At this moment, Cao Cao's voice came from outside the tent.
As soon as he did it, Cao Ren opened the curtain, Cao Cao's tense face smiled suddenly, and said heartily: "Sir, can you still live in the habit?" ”
"It's okay!" Gatoni raised an eyebrow back.
"What is the so-called matter of Cao Gong coming over this time? Agreed to an alliance? ”
"The matter of forming an alliance can be based on what your king said, and I will provide all the military rations of your army from entering the territory of Dahan." Cao Cao smiled, looking harmless to humans and animals.
"Very good, very good!"
Gatoni came to the spirit, and he did it.
"Sir, what do you think of that Chu Feng? How confident are you to defeat this person? Cao Cao asked tentatively, the purpose of wooing him was mainly to deal with Chu Feng.
"Hehe, Chu Feng seems to me to be just a little foreseeable, and then take over the rise of the Yuan family's name, it is just so-so, if I had his resources, I would have unified the Han Dynasty long ago!"
Gatoni sneered, disapproving,
In his opinion, Chu Feng, a modern person, has been able to come to this day only because of foresight and the name of the Yuan family, otherwise it is nothing.
Cao Cao raised his eyebrows, this person can brag, he doesn't like this kind of person who runs the train with his mouth full, not to mention that he has been defeated by Chu Feng many times, obviously Chu Feng is not as unbearable as he said.
"What's more, Gong Cao has formed an alliance with the king of my family, with nearly 400,000 soldiers and horses, and Chu Feng can mobilize less than half of our soldiers and horses, even if I close my eyes, I can simply defeat and defeat!"
"In your Huaxia words, it can be destroyed with your hands, so don't worry!" Gatoni sneered, with incomparable confidence, in short, in his opinion, Chu Feng was just a darling.
A few bows and crossbows could not stop the torrent of steel that he rode hundreds of thousands of paces in the Kushan Empire.
Cao Cao raised his eyebrows, but said with a smile: "Mr. is talented, I can't hide it, Cao Mou admires talent the most in his life, and most longs for a talent like Mr., I don't know if Mr. has any plans to be an official in my Han Dynasty?" ”
"As long as you have this idea, I will guarantee you at least three dukes and nine kings, a general of the chariot cavalry, and a feudal fief!" After Cao Cao finished speaking, he hurriedly drew cakes and said.
Maybe this man likes to brag, but in any case, he came a thousand years later, and he is well-informed, and he is a great talent to him.
"Three Princes and Nine Secretaries, waiting for the general?"
Gatoni's pupils shrank suddenly, and then returned to normal, he couldn't let Cao Cao see what he thought, but I have to say that the conditions offered by Cao Cao were not bad.
Especially when I thought of the attitude when I asked him to come over earlier, I was obviously a little more indifferent than at the beginning, and if I went on like this, I would sooner or later be abandoned by the first life and become a passerby.
Thinking of this, Gatoni fell silent.
I entered the Great Han in order to take down the Great Han!
Is he comparing Cao Cao and I, who has a better chance of unification in the future, or can he have contacts on both sides? Be a wall-to-wall grass? If Cao Cao takes Chu Feng, then he will help him kill the soldiers and horses of the first generation?
If Cao Cao hadn't killed Chu Feng,
He is still a lifelong confidant, ready to annex the Han at any time.
The two thoughts were instantly intertwined in Gatoni's mind, and he wondered what he should do.
But if you help Cao Cao, after all, you are a person over there, isn't there some, but if you don't reuse yourself in the first life, where can you be like this even if you are from somewhere?
Forget it, take it one step at a time.
Immediately, Gatoni smiled: "Hehe, Cao Gong said that he was laughing, Cao Gong is under the command of Sheng Wuchang, and it can't be compared at all." But thanks to Cao Gong, he can afford it,"
"If I don't have a will on my king's side in the future, I will defect to Cao Gong as soon as possible, and I hope that Cao Gong will not give up when the time comes."
Cao Cao's eyes narrowed, he is such a shrewd dog thief, he doesn't leak a drop when he speaks, this shows that you give me benefits, I want to do it, let's contact more in the future, if it doesn't work here, I'll go over.
All in all, there was no refusal, but there was no agreement either.
The relationship of the grass on the wall!
However, this kind of is also beneficial, and Cao Cao is not happy to agree directly!
"Haha, okay, as long as Mr. comes to vote, Cao will definitely sweep the couch to greet him! There is a little bit of a small gift here, but it is not a respect, and I hope that Mr. will accept it and fight off Chu Feng with me. ”
Cao Cao said heartily.
Gatoni glanced at the gold and silver, a little joy flashed in his eyes, and he smiled and said: "Then thank you Cao Gong, as for Chu Feng, Cao Gong can rest assured for the time being, I will definitely kill him." ”
"I've heard that Chu Feng has a group of wives and concubines, all of whom are beauties in the world. After destroying him, I still hope that Cao Gong promised that he wanted to have a kiss with Fang Ze and have a love with Chu Feng's wife and concubine! ”
Cao Cao glanced at Gatoni strangely, and said with a hearty smile: "Mr. has the same idea as Cao, and after killing Chu Feng, his wife and concubine can naturally enjoy it." ”
The two looked at each other and laughed.
"Since Duke Cao agrees to form an alliance, then I will go back for the time being, and let the king of my family transfer troops as soon as possible to help Duke Cao destroy Chu!" Gatoni clenched his fists solemnly.
"Very good, very good!"
"I'll arrange for someone to escort Mr. to the Western Regions." Cao Cao said happily.
After some politeness, Gatoni was also sent away by Cao Cao's arrangement, looking at the back of his departure, Cao Cao's smiling face gradually became gloomy, and he snorted coldly.
"Lord, this person has such a big breath!" Cao Ren also said.
"Hmph, Guishuang also dares to get involved in the big Han, if I lose this battle, don't think about it better!" Cao Cao clenched his fists, he wanted to use Guishuang!
