"Not? Who would that be? ”

Han Hao reminded Guo Jia with doubts: "They are all similar in age and appearance. ”

Guo Jia shook his head slightly: "If you deliberately pretend, it is not difficult to dress up, and Huainan currently has so many soldiers except for Long Xiang, only Sun Quan has taken so many soldiers." ”

"But Jiangdong's previous soldiers and horses are vulnerable, and today's five thousand people are simply unexpected, it's hard to believe that they are also Jiangdong's soldiers and horses, and what's the point of doing this?" Han Hao frowned, and the question in his heart could not be solved.

Guo Jia thought for a while and said meaningfully: "The army controlled by Sun Quan is actually the old department of Yuan Shu, and it is normal for the combat effectiveness to be low, but the real strength of Jiangdong is in the hands of Zhou Yu, the governor of the capital, and the five thousand people may be reinforcements from Guangling."

"Well, then"

Han Hao swallowed his saliva and didn't continue.

After listening to the discussion between the two, Cao Cao affirmed Guo Jia's head: "What Feng Xiaoshicai said, with the same opinion as me, it must be Zhou Yu who has arrived. ”

Han Hao hurriedly asked: "Now that the lord has seen through it, is there a way to deal with it?" ”

Cao Cao said: "Since the great victory in Xiang'an and Sun Quan's escape, the shadow of the first-line warships on the Yangtze River has disappeared, and it seems that he is not going to save Sun He, I originally thought that Sun Quan retreated to Jiangdong itself, and I just heard Fengxiao's analysis, and now I can determine the location of the main force in Jiangdong." ”

"Where?" Han Hao's eyes widened.

Cao Cao pointed his finger at the location of Chaohu Lake on the map, but looked at Jia Xu who was smiling.

"Today's 5,000 people seem to have come from Hefei, but it is more likely that they landed from Chaohu Lake, Sun Quan should be hiding in the lake at this time, the current pattern is very similar to Wen He's inference, but Sun Quan failed miserably in Xiang'an, so he may not dare to attack Shouchun."

Jia Xu changed his strategy during this time, and no longer pretended to be deep and loved to hide on the sidelines, but often stayed by Cao Cao's side with a smiling face, and praised two sentences when he had nothing to do, but he still didn't compete with Guo Jia for credit.

At this time, Cao Cao had seen Sun Quan's intentions, and Jia Xu actively stood up to supplement the nonsense: "Zhou Yu sent someone to pretend to be Long Xiang, let us turn our attention to Hefei, then Ming Gong will inevitably divide troops to the northwest of Chaohu, once the division of troops will reveal flaws, whether it is cut off or cut off in the future, they can use warships to infest Chaohu, and then they will fall into passivity."

Cao Cao pointed at Jia Xu and nodded lightly, and said: "Wen Hezhi has the same opinion as me, our ship is parked in Huaishui, even if it sails into Chaohu Lake, it can't beat Zhou Yu, Sun Quan and Zhou Yu rely on Chaohu Lake to attack and defend, and it is really difficult to get it between eagerness, if according to Wen He's previous plan, block the water and trap it in Huainan, but the people in Lujiang counties are not enough, do you have any other way to break the situation?" ”

"I didn't expect that the people of Lujiang are so scarce, and it is obviously impossible to fill the river, if Sun Quan and Zhou Yu withdraw from Huainan, Ming Gong can go all out to take Anhui County, and the initiative of when to withdraw the army is still in hand; But now the situation has become complicated, and the key is how to lure the soldiers and horses from Chaohu Lake ashore."

Jia Xu was answering on the surface, but in fact he was repeating the difficulties and asking questions, and he looked at Guo Jia from time to time when he spoke, as if to say that you often have a strange plan to offer, and now the opportunity has come again.

Cao Cao was also very distressed at this time, he came lightly with 40,000 elite soldiers, and wanted to concentrate his forces to defeat the Jiangdong army, but because Sun Quan Gou did not come out in Chaohu, he had to divide the 40,000 people into several places, but Cao Cao was not worried about being broken by each, in addition to the strong individual combat effectiveness of Cao's army, his battlefield layout was also very particular.

The Cao army, which is now scattered in Huainan, has Shouchun and Shuxian as the two centers in the north and south, and 40,000 people are deployed in two central cities.

Among them, there are more than 10,000 soldiers around Shouchun, in addition to the north gate of Shouchun Huainan, another important task is to protect the grain road; There were nearly 30,000 people around Shu County, a small part of which was used to besiege Anhui County, and the rest of the main force was personally commanded by Cao Cao; Once there is a problem in the north and south, the soldiers will move closer to the central point to reduce the losses caused by emergencies.

Seeing that Jia Xu had no plan, Guo Jia confidently walked up to Cao Cao and made a suggestion with a smile: "Since Sun Quan led us to Hefei, why didn't Ming Gong plan it?" We might as well deliberately transfer troops to Hefei to lure Jiangdong troops to attack and disturb the shore immediately, or make a detour to the Yangtze River to save Anhui County, which will definitely create an opportunity for war. ”

"Makes sense."

When Cao Cao heard it, he was planning again, and said that Guo Fengxiao liked this the most, but I have to say that he offered another clever plan.

He shook his eyes and pondered carefully, and he also thought of a plan, so he couldn't help but share it with everyone: "According to Fengxiao's thinking, there are more than 20,000 soldiers around Shu County, so I simply left 3,000 people to defend the city with me, and the rest went to Hefei with great fanfare. ”

"Probably not."

When Jia Xu and Guo Jia were thinking, Han Hao was the first to stand up and agree.

The more Cao Cao spoke, the more energetic he became, and he gushed endlessly: "You can make the soldiers march west as much as possible, stay away from Chaohu Lake and not give the rats a chance to sneak attack, and let the main force turn to the west before approaching Hefei, and return to Shucheng from the north side of Zipeng Mountain. ”

"Ming Gong thinks far-reaching, Zhou Yu must not notice it, this victory and defeat have been divided in advance."

Jia Xu nodded again and again, he admired Cao Cao from the bottom of his heart, and thought that in terms of the ability to use soldiers, the princes in the world were unsurpassed.

Cao Cao saw that Jia Xu was sincerely touting, and he also responded proudly with his beard, saying that the princes of other families could not win immediately, and my Cao Someone's plan was also a top strategist.

"Ming Gong's plan is wonderful." Guo Jia bowed solemnly and whispered: "I still have an idea here, I can add another plan to the plan, and if it is successful, it can help Ming Gong win the battle." ”

"Oh?" Cao Cao was overjoyed when he heard this, and urged: "Feng Xiao, hurry up." ”

Guo Jia replied: "I don't think it's enough to transfer the soldiers of Shucheng, in order to show the anger of the Ming Duke against Long Xiang and the imperative victory of Hefei, we should also transfer a part of General Miaocai's grain army, so as to attract Jiangdong soldiers and horses to rob the grain." ”

Cao Cao shook his head and pouted: "The soldiers of Shucheng can be moved by Zipeng Mountain, but how should Miaocai's grain guard army move?" There are not many soldiers under his command, and if Sun Quan seizes the opportunity, maybe he can really rob me of some of my food, and this plan has a certain risk."

Guo Jia walked to the map, pointed to a river and said: "Transporting grain from land requires a large number of soldiers and horses to escort, Sun Quan sent soldiers to rob grain is just a small fight, why don't Ming Gong change the grain transportation route, change the original land route to water transportation, let the grain ship pass through Shaobi into the water to Longshu, and then transfer from Longshu to Shu County by land, the journey seems to be a lot farther, but most of it has become a waterway, which can save a lot of people." ”

Cao Cao stared at Guo Jia and pondered, as if he understood the other party's strategy.

If the south takes itself as bait, then the north uses grain and grass as bait, and the Jiangdong rats do not dare to go ashore to fight, but they are very confident in water battles and boat battles.
