Chapter 1202: A Fatal Flaw

"Strategist!"

A figure flew from outside the City Lord's Mansion, with a happy face, and reported to Zhuge Liang, "Cao Cao's subordinate strategist Xi Zhicai has just come to Pingyu City. ”

"He said that he was ordered by Cao Cao to come to negotiate the alliance."

"Sure enough, as the military advisor expected, Cao Cao can't sit still now!"

Li Feng looked at Zhuge Liang with admiration on his face, shocked by his predictions.

The military advisor said a few days ago that Cao Cao is far from being comparable to Yuan Shao.

Once Wang Qiang fully launched the attack on Yuzhou, it was impossible for Cao Cao to stay out of the matter and watch Yuan Shu be destroyed.

And now the aggressive army of Lu Bu and Jia Xu is attacking Yuzhou, and it is not only Yuan Shu who is anxious.

The military advisor also said that if Yuzhou is lost, Cao Cao, who is entrenched in Peiguo, will definitely become a turtle in the urn, and there will be no more vitality and retreat.

Therefore, although the two heroes cannot stand on each other, and Yuan Shu and Cao Cao are mortal enemies in the sky, at this critical juncture, the two sides must temporarily work together.

Today's arrival of Xi Zhicai confirms what Zhuge Liang said.

"Military advisors, Cao Cao's subordinates, Tianjiao generals and strategists are very numerous, although they are far inferior to us in terms of manpower and resources, but they are very complementary to us."

Li Feng immediately said, "General Liang Gang is receiving Xi Zhicai, I will go to report to the lord first." ”

Zhuge Liang bowed his head and said, "Then you go quickly!" ”

"The arrival of Xi Zhicai, our army and Cao Cao's alliance, there is no surprise."

Now that Wang Qiang has brought too much pressure, Zhuge Liang is of course happy to see the alliance between Yuan Shu and Cao Cao come to fruition.

"Then I'll go first."

Li Feng didn't delay any longer, and flew towards the City Lord's Mansion.

"Kong Ming, can we beat that Wang Qiang?"

Zhuge Jin saw Li Feng's back disappear, the melancholy on his face was still there, and he did not relax at all.

That Cao Cao's strength is good, but Wang Qiang's prestige is too great, so far, he has never been defeated, which is really not easy.

"Hey......"

Zhuge Liang is confident in his own ability, but he does not have much confidence in the aggressive Wang Qiang.

There is no way, the rapid destruction of Yuan Shao, Liu Zhang, Gongsun Zhan, Zhang Lu and other princes is enough to prove the strength of Wang Qiang.

"Do your best."

Zhuge Liang said this in his mouth, but he was thinking in his heart, "If I am not a closed disciple of Mr. Shui Jing, and I am regarded by the world as Mr. Shui Jing, there must be room for turning." ”

"Unfortunately, I am destined to be at odds with the king......"

As the dual identity of Mr. Shuijing's closed disciple and the Zhuge family, Zhuge Liang also felt helpless.

That Wang Qiang didn't know where he came from, how could he have such a great hatred for the world's wealthy families from the beginning? And it's the irreconcilable kind.

However, this guy has developed and grown faster than he imagined, and by destroying a large number of Hu people, he has become the most powerful force in the world in just ten years.

Although Zhuge Liang's luck is amazing, he is armed with two powerful natal spirit treasures, and he is an all-round talent, but the real Wang Qiang, the actual odds of winning are not very large.

Like Wang Qiang, he would not think that in the world's Kyushu, only he would get earth-shattering adventures.

The rumored Wang Qiang and his wife, as well as Na Lu Bu, Jia Xu and other Tianjiao, all have extremely strong natal spiritual treasures and magical spells.

Seriously, if it weren't for the fact that he was born with Wang Qiang, Zhuge Liang planned to take refuge in Wang Qiang.

Anyway, he didn't have the luck of the hidden dragon.

From Zhuge Liang's point of view, where would it not be clear that the situation today is becoming clearer and clearer? Wang Qiang's probability of finally winning the Ding is extremely high, even exceeding more than ninety percent.

"It's a pity ......"

Zhuge Liang sighed secretly, with a lot of unwillingness in his eyes.

He is not arrogant, and he has great confidence in his own ability, "Wang Qiang? It is still unknown who killed the deer. ”

The current alliance with Cao Cao, coupled with the heritage of the world's wealthy families, is not necessarily a must-lose.

Next, there was no accident, and Yuan Shu, who was so anxious that he jumped to his feet, quickly reached an alliance agreement with Cao Cao.

Of course, that paper treaty is destined to be torn up in the future.

The agreement on this comprehensive cooperation was only possible because Wang Qiang was aggressive.

Once the crisis is resolved, or the situation changes, both sides will turn against each other.

……

"Wen Ruo, what do you think of the guerrilla tactics proposed by Zhuge Liang to harass Wang Qiang's forces everywhere?"

In Xiangxian County, the county capital of Peiguo, Cao Cao had just listened to the news report brought by Xi Zhicai, and looked at Xun Yu in front of him with gloomy eyes, and asked noncommittally.

The strategic Tianjiao under his subordinates, Xun Yu is the most comprehensive.

Xun You and Xi Zhicai are biased towards military strategy, while Xun Yu has almost no shortcomings.

"Feasible!" Xun Yu nodded indifferently and said.

Since the Divine Monarch Xun Shu was killed by Lu Bu himself, Xun Yu and Xun You brothers have almost changed as human beings, and since then, they have never seen a smile on their faces.

In the fall of Divine Monarch Xun Shu, it was not only Xun Shu who was killed, but also nearly half of the Xun family's Tianjiao and elite soldiers.

The Xun family, which was originally a top family, plummeted in strength and heritage, and became a big family.

As the leader of the world's wealthy families, the Xun family's influence has been greatly reduced.

Including Xun Yu and Xun You, the Xun family has already had an enmity with Wang Qiang's forces, and it is the kind that must be killed by one side.

Therefore, although the guerrilla tactics proposed by Zhuge Liang will make the wealthy families who implement this plan evolve into rogues along the way, unscrupulously launching raids on the territory occupied by Wang Qiang.

But this does not mean that Zhuge Liang's tactics are bad.

Putting aside the face of the wealthy family, this is undoubtedly an excellent strategy and tactic, which will definitely cause huge trouble to Wang Qiang, and even be overwhelmed.

For Xun Yu, who is bent on revenge, there is no better way to do this.

"However, Zhicai said that most of Yuan Shu's subordinates, most of the wealthy families, do not approve of this action plan."

Cao Cao shook his head, his eyebrows furrowed slightly, feeling a little awkward, "About ninety percent of the wealthy families do not agree to implement this plan. ”

"In this way, because of the limited manpower and materials, this extremely effective plan is far from being as strong as imagined."

Although he was given up by the world's wealthy families, he still had ambitions and did not suffer a fatal blow.

The situation was still good, but it was held back by the alliance of wealthy families in the world that day, and as a result, it was defeated in the battle of Gunzhou.

Since then, Cao Cao has had his own understanding: a scattered wealthy family, it is okay to engage in intrigues and tricks, but it is impossible to fight with the elite army.

No matter how many soldiers they unite and how rich their materials are, it will not help, but will cause many undesirable consequences and limit their own performance.

Therefore, in Cao Cao's view, it is a good thing that he has lost the support of the wealthy family.

After shrinking all his own troops to Peiguo, the combat effectiveness of Cao Cao's side actually increased instead of decreasing.

Outsiders don't know, but Cao Cao feels deeply.

It's just that because Wang Qiang was aggressive, he didn't give Cao Cao too much time to let him develop with all his might.

Only three months had passed since the Battle of Gunzhou, and Wang Qiang's army had moved south again, this time against Yuan Shu.

However, Cao Cao is now next to Yuan Shu, and there is only one county left, if you sit and watch Yuan Shu be destroyed, the next prince to be destroyed will definitely be him.

Therefore, whether he wants to or not, he must participate in this battle, and only then will he have a way to survive in the future.

"Yes, my lord."

Xi Zhicai on the side interjected and said, "Those small and medium-sized wealthy families are relatively easy to convince, but those wealthy families of the same size and top level value their territory and glory more than their lives. ”

"Once they lose their stable land and population resources, most of them can't accept this reality, let alone just to take revenge on Wang Qiang and become wandering rogues?"

"If it weren't for Wang Qiang's refusal to accept their surrender, it is estimated that there are many wealthy families who have collectively rebelled."

Xi Zhicai himself is a son of a poor family, and his family background has long been ruined.

The main purpose of his devotion to Cao Cao was to restore the glory of the family.

It's a pity that Wang Qiang's development and expansion speed is too fast, so that all the princes and wealthy families in the world can't react.

Within a year or two, he wiped out the princes of many roads and captured more than half of the territory of Kyushu in China.

"Wen Ruo, Zhicai, Gongda ......, you all tell me, if we stick to Peiguo, can we stop the invasion of Wang Qiang?"

Cao Cao took a deep breath and said with an unhurried inquiry.

"My lord, although our troops, population, and materials have basically shrunk into Peiguo, they have condensed into a solid fist."

Xun Yu already had an answer, and said in a reverie, "But if you want to block Wang Qiang's invasion, it's basically impossible." ”

"I expect that it will be very good to be able to block Wang Qiang's main army all the way."

"This is still on the premise of having the innate spiritual fluid provided by the lord and continuing to cultivate some backbone generals."

Cao Cao's natal spiritual treasure: the three-grade merit golden lotus, although he did not tell everyone the truth, but the innate spiritual liquid he provided every month was able to cultivate several masters of the God Refining Realm, and the core general Tianjiao under his command already knew it.

Although in the battle of Gunzhou a few months ago, the Tianjiao generals, including the eldest prince Cao Ang, lost about 30% of the number, but after these months of recovery, the overall combat effectiveness of the Cao army has not decreased much.

Cao Cao's current strength is not much worse than Yuan Shu.

It's just that in terms of population, territory, resources, etc., it can't compare to Yuan Shu.

The real combat effectiveness of the two sides is estimated to be comparable.

After all, there are too many outstanding Tianjiao generals under Cao Cao, and they can be called a group of strategists and fierce generals.

"Lord, we don't have a formation that is enough to compete with Wang Qiang, and there is no big city protection array that can withstand the attack of Wang Qiang's army."

Xi Zhicai said again, "Originally, our future victory was slim, but Zhuge Liang's guerrilla tactics provided us with another way out. ”

"In Huaxia Kyushu, more than ninety percent of the places are uninhabited wildernesses, occupied by countless demon beast groups."

"Those gathered demon beast races, no one can afford to provoke, but the scattered demon beast races do not pose a mortal threat to the field operations of our army."

"As long as we don't take the initiative to provoke some top demon beast clans, there is nothing wrong with our army acting in the wild, but we can grow up rapidly in battles with demon beast clans and Wang Qiang's forces."

In terms of strategy, Xi Zhicai is no worse than any of today's strategists.

At this point, even Jia Xu and Guo Jia are between him and him.

"My lord, if we adopt this guerrilla tactic, we must make the following preparations!"

Xun Yu said with a sympathetic interface, "First of all, we are going to carry out a comprehensive army expansion!" A large number of recruits are recruited into the camp! ”

"Because after we completely evacuate the various towns in Peiguo, these towns will inevitably fall into the hands of Wang Qiang soon."

"At that time, it was extremely difficult to replenish personnel and select qualified reserve soldiers, and it was easy for the enemy to find out, and it was destined to be weak in the future."

"Moreover, we must make every effort to collect all kinds of resources and materials to ensure that our army will not be stuck by the other side in the future for the consumption of a protracted war with Wang Qiang's forces."

"In the end, if we adopt Zhuge Liang's extremely vicious plan, we must race against time and seize the time, and we must not waste every quarter of an hour."

Xun Yu is the son of Xun Yu's brother in the house and Xun Yu's nephew, but his viciousness far surpasses that of his uncle Xun Yu.

In terms of leading troops to fight, he is no worse than any of today's Tianjiao.

"This ......"

Cao Cao was a qualified tyrant, ahead of most of the princes in all aspects, and did not lack foresight and determination.

But the current choice of the intersection made him a little hesitant.

Give up the life you have always pampered and become a wilderness wanderer like the Yellow Turban Army?

Of course, this can turn light into darkness, reverse defense into offense, and it can also cause huge trouble to Wang Qiang, but in the future, the life will be completely different from before, can the soldiers in the army stand it?

You must know that more than ninety percent of his Tianjiao generals and strategists are from the wealthy families of Gunzhou.

The families of these soldiers add up to hundreds of millions!

Moreover, according to Xun Yu's suggestion, more than 100 million recruits were recruited again, a large amount of living and survival materials were collected, and they left the town to live, which was a great drag.

It's okay in the short term, but if it's a long time, if you're not careful, the possibility of a mutiny in the army is not small.

The hard and simple style is not something that everyone can get used to and endure for those soldiers from wealthy families.

Not to mention others, Cao Cao himself can't guarantee that he will get used to it.

All of a sudden, such a radical shift is in itself a huge difficulty.

"Have you thought about it?"

Cao Cao suddenly remembered something very important, "That Wang Qiang's hand has been confirmed to have a few spirit pet birds!" ”

"And according to the intelligence of all parties, those big birds of his spirit pet are super powerful, and he has not met an opponent comparable to them so far!"

"Once he lets those spirit beasts and big birds under his command go out to investigate, the actions of our army in the wild will be easily discovered, and then they will be hunted down and killed!"

Speaking of this, Cao Cao even felt cold.

Under the supervision of that kind of extremely powerful spirit pet, the so-called guerrilla tactics are doomed to fail before they are implemented.

Without it, the kind of spirit pet that can be called invincible, the air superiority is too great.

Their unparalleled eyesight and speed superiority were not at all comparable to the humans in this sealed region.
