Chapter 29: Cao Xuan comes forward
"Father, do you know, although Zhuge Liang is very powerful, but their army's food and grass is almost gone, now he can only hold on to Xuzhou, and their army lacks enough food and grass to supply their army supplies, our army is an excellent opportunity to pursue the victory, once we can take Xuzhou, then it will completely consume the combat effectiveness of Liu Bei's army, and our army will be able to completely defeat Liu Bei."
Cao Cao nodded.
"Yes, it makes sense, if our army can really capture Xuzhou, then Liu Bei will definitely suffer heavy losses, and then our army will be able to completely defeat him, then Liu Bei will no longer be able to threaten us."
"Father, we will lead the army to attack Xuzhou now, and I believe that with our army, we will definitely be able to take Xuzhou." Cao Pi said confidently.
"Well, then do what you want!"
Cao Cao nodded.
"Big brother, I don't know what you think about this battle?"
Cao Xuan looked at Cao Pi and asked.
"Fourth brother, this time we attacked Xuzhou, although it was said that we wanted to capture Xuzhou, but in fact, the main purpose was to defeat Liu Bei, I believe that with our army, we will be able to capture Xuzhou easily." Cao Pi said confidently.
Hearing Cao Pi's words, Cao Xuan's heart secretly despised him, and he thought to himself: "Hmph, this Cao Pi is really a fool, he doesn't know how to use the army at all, all he thinks is to defeat Zhuge Liang with his bravery, how would he know that Zhuge Liang is not such a simple character, just by virtue of those armies in our hands to defeat Zhuge Liang?" ”
But at this time, Cao Xuan stood up, patted Cao Pi's shoulder, and said earnestly: "Big brother, you can't underestimate Zhuge Liang's army, although Zhuge Liang only has tens of thousands of troops, but Zhuge Liang's wisdom is not comparable to ordinary people, he is a very difficult opponent, I think such a big responsibility, I'm afraid the eldest brother can't afford it." ”
"Hmph, fourth brother, you are just a talented person, how can you evaluate me like this? Don't forget, now that your father's health is not as good as before, you must not disgrace your father at this critical time. Cao Pi stared at Cao Xuan and said.
"Hehe......"
Cao Xuan smiled.
"Eldest prince, I understand your character, although you are an unlearned and unskilled gentleman, but you are really not bad in military affairs, I admit that you do have courage and strategy, but sometimes strategy does not solve everything, and you are too conceited, if you can obey your father's arrangement, you may be able to dominate one side in the future, but now your approach is very unwise, and you will kill yourself if you do too much injustice."
"You ......"
Hearing Cao Xuan's words, Cao Pi was suddenly so angry that he smoked.
"Humph!"
Cao Pi glared at Cao Xuan fiercely, he didn't understand why a waste dared to talk to him like this now.
His Cao Pi's talent is obvious to all.
In this world, there is really no one who can be more talented than him Cao Pi.
"Alright, both of you shut up!"
At this time, Cao Cao took the case and reprimanded angrily.
Seeing this, the two immediately stopped arguing, but there was a hint of mockery on their faces.
This made Cao Cao's heart even more angry.
Cao Cao sat down and took a deep breath to calm his anger.
"Did you hear me clearly? We will now send troops to Xuzhou to crush Liu Bei's army. ”
"Yes, Prime Minister, I am willing to lead 10,000 iron horsemen to attack Xuzhou." Xu Chu immediately asked for help.
"Eldest prince, you also follow Xu Chu to attack Xuzhou!"
Cao Cao nodded and said to Cao Pi.
Cao Pi listened to Cao Cao's words, the corners of his mouth suddenly raised a little, and he looked at Cao Xuan with disdain.
But Cao Xuan hurriedly stepped forward.
"Father, I am willing to lead the troops to capture Xuzhou, it only takes six days!"
"No way!"
"Why not!"
"Because I won't allow it!"
Cao Cao said angrily.
"Father, you can rest assured, within six days, I will definitely break through Xuzhou."
Cao Xuan said.
"Okay, stop arguing, you all step down and let Gu Jingjing."
Seeing this, the two brothers glanced at each other, and finally left in a huff.
Cao Cao sighed.
"Prime Minister, now that Liu Bei is at the end of his crossbow, it is better to take advantage of the situation to defeat Liu Bei and let the eldest prince make a move, and you can also train the eldest prince, Prime Minister, this is a great thing, why doesn't the prime minister agree to come down!" Xun Yu stepped forward and persuaded Cao Cao.
"Wen Ruo, you don't have to say it anymore, at this moment, the eldest prince is completely blinded by lard, I have already decided, we will attack Xuzhou first, and after attacking Xuzhou, the eldest prince will go out to kill Liu Bei!" Cao Cao made up his mind and said undoubtedly.
"But Prime Minister, Liu Bei's army is too brave and good at fighting, not to mention that it is still under the command of Zhuge Liang, at the moment, at most, let you sons fight Xuzhou, if you really go head-to-head with Liu Bei's army, I'm afraid something will happen." Xun Yu reminded Cao Cao.
"I've thought all of this through, so don't be verbose."
Cao Cao waved his hand to stop Xun Yu.
"Prime Minister, since this is the case, then Wen Ruo won't say much, but Wen Ruo still hopes that Prime Minister will think twice." Xun Yu said.
"Well, don't worry, I've already decided on this matter, and I can't change it, Wen Ruo, don't persuade me anymore." Cao Cao said impatiently.
"No."
Seeing Cao Cao's resolute attitude, Xun Yu had no choice but to nod and say no more.
"Zhang Liao, you immediately gather all the soldiers and prepare to meet the enemy, and at the same time inform Cao Xuan and let him lead the troops to attack Xuzhou!" Cao Cao instructed Zhang Liao.
"No."
Zhang Liao received the order and immediately left the council chamber, preparing to gather the soldiers.
Xun You, Xu Shu and other advisers also said goodbye one after another, preparing to prepare the army to go to Xuzhou.
Cao Cao's eyes flashed with essence.
"Hmph, Liu Bei, even if that's the case, I still want to take your Xuzhou for myself, I want to see how many days you can resist!"
Cao Cao sneered in his heart.
Cao Cao's plan is very detailed, and it is also very insidious and vicious, he wants to force Liu Bei into a desperate situation, so that his plan can succeed.
Cao Cao believed that this matter would definitely have an impact on Liu Bei.
Liu Bei never imagined that Cao Cao would come up with such a sinister move.
Cao Cao's plan was so thorough, it could even be said that it was watertight.
But Liu Bei didn't know, even if he knew, Liu Bei couldn't stop it, after all, his army really couldn't compare with Cao Cao.
......
Liu Bei's tent.
Liu Bei was studying tactics.
And now that Zhuge Liang is in Xuzhou, there are few strategists that Liu Bei can use, and they have never had a more reasonable plan for their own discussions.
