Chapter 613: Cao Sun miscalculates and Long Xiang moves
Although Jia Xu's answer was not loud, every word was loud.
All the generals showed surprised expressions, and even Xun Yu beside him was surprised, and said in his heart that you had better tell the reason, otherwise Prime Minister Cao Cheng will definitely be displeased.
Luoyang is the central point of the world, once it is lost, it will not only threaten the Central Plains, but also threaten Hebei and other places, which are the heart of Prime Minister Cao Cheng.
After all, people are different, Guo Fengxiao can speak without concealing his mouth, and Cao Cao may not be like this to others.
Sure enough.
Cao Cao's face changed, his brows furrowed, and he looked at Jia Xu seriously.
"Wenhe, please explain."
"Yui."
Jia Xu bowed his hand, and explained with a straight face: "The prime minister is for Guan Yu, and he invested 300,000 troops before and after, and supervised the construction of warships in Shuishui, seeing that the weather is slowly warming, and the warships can gradually be put into use, and Guan Yu can be defeated in less than ten months. β
"Although what Wen He said is not bad, but the battlefield is as changeable as the sky, Luoyang is related to the safety of the Central Plains, if you don't care about what Liu Bei gains, the grain road in the rear of our army will not be able to be guaranteed, even if you fight with Guan Yu for a few more days, you must prevent Liu Bei from advancing eastward."
As soon as Cao Cao's words fell, Xun You couldn't help but glance at Jia Xu.
Secretly thinking that Jia Xu looked at his head and ignored his heart, and said in his heart that under the premise of superior forces, there was no need for the blessing of conspiracy at all, and steady and steady pushing was the last word.
Jia Xu withstood the pressure and added: "Liu Bei can guard the pass according to Tongguan, why can't General Zilian guard Luoyang according to Hangu Pass?" Not to mention that Liu Bei only has 40,000 or 50,000 people, even if there are 100,000 male soldiers to detain the pass, he can defend it with his heart, and Cheng should concentrate his superior forces to destroy Guan Yu first, and then return to the army for a decisive battle. β
"Wenhe's plan is too extreme, even if General Zilian sticks to Hangu Pass, but there is no danger to defend Hedong north of Hongnong, if Liu Bei crosses the river to the north and takes Hedong first, he can not only go north to threaten Bingzhou or even Hebei, but also bypass Hangu Pass and go east along the Yellow River, and then Hanoi and Luoyang will be in his hands."
Xun You stood up to refute Jia Xu, in addition to the objective facts he analyzed, but also because the current Hedong Taishou Du Ji was recommended by Xun Yu to Cao Cao for reuse.
Du Ji belongs to the Jingzhao younger brother of the Henan Shi clan, and if Liu Bei is allowed to attack Hedong and ignore it, the credibility of Yingchuan's 'leading brother' will be damaged.
If these children of the outside Shi clan are therefore in the camp of the Hebei Shi clan, it will affect the political interests of the Henan Shi clan.
Jia Xu is the most proficient in people's hearts, and he is clear about the struggle between the two major scholars in Henan and Hebei.
Xun You took the initiative to stand up and question, and Jia Xu hurriedly turned around and explained:
"Hedong is vast, the supply line is very inconvenient, if Liu Bei really sneaks into Hebei from Hedong and Bingzhou, it will be half the effort, as long as the waterway of the Yellow River in Hanoi and Luoyang is guarded, Liu Bei's plot will not succeed."
"General Zilian has already asked for help, which means that he is not able to do it now, if he does not send troops according to Wenhe's intentions, then."
Jia Xu interrupted Xun You and continued to add: "I just said that I would not save it, the original intention was not to have no soldiers, Wancheng has an army of 200,000, and drawing 10,000 or 20,000 will not affect the overall situation." β
"I see."
Seeing Xun You nodding in affirmativeness, Cao Cao finally understood Jia Xu's intentions, and said happily: "What Erqing said is exactly what I want, so according to Wenhe's intentions, transfer 20,000 to reinforce Luoyang.
Liu Beijun is wise and wise, Luoyang must go to a person who gives advice, Gongda and Zilian cooperate tacitly in Guandu, how about you work hard? β
"I am willing to share the worries of the prime minister."
Cao Cao personally named him, how dare Xun Yu disobey? After Ying Xia, he hurriedly added: "Since Liu Bei's elite is exhausted, Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun and others are all enemies, it is best to send one or two brave generals to accompany them."
"Zhang Fei's courage is not enough to fear, but Gongda has this worry, so he sent a general to follow"
Cao Cao looked at the generals under the hall, Xiahou Yuan, Cao Chun and others wanted to use it themselves, and Zhang He, Gao Ran and other generals were not at ease, and their eyes finally fell on Le Jin.
"Wen Qian bravely crowned the three armies, and he can go to Luoyang with Gongda."
"Although the prime minister can rest assured, the last general will ensure that Luoyang is not lost."
Seeing Le Jin's sonorous answer, Cao Cao nodded with satisfaction.
The heart said that Liu Bei wants to lead me to Luoyang, how can you lead me by the nose?
Last time, in order to show outsiders, he let Guan Yu go, and now he has put on such a big battle, if Jingzhou captures his beloved generals again after the war, he would rather be imprisoned to death than released.
Cao Cao is now strong and confident, and he doesn't have to be as polite as Corporal as before.
Wu lord Sun Quan has already succumbed, as long as he takes Jingzhou and eliminates Liu Bei, leaving Yangzhou Longxiang, Yizhou Liu Zhang and the like, it is only a matter of time before he surrenders.
Cao Cao thought that without Liu Bei's containment, no one in the world could save Guan Yu.
Guo Jia reminded Long Xiang that there was a big danger, but Cao Cao had already left behind, and during this time when he was resting in Wancheng, Sun Quan sent a reply to reaffirm his loyalty, and brought Yu Zhang's situation with him.
After the victory of the Han River, Lu Su did not return to Huainan or Jiangdong with the confiscated goods, but attacked Wuchang, the seat of Jiangxia governance.
Sun Quan concluded that Lu Su was a cover for Long Xiang, intending to attract defenders such as Xiakou, Chaisang, and Peng Ze to aid Wuchang, while Long Xiang would take advantage of the situation to attack Yuzhang.
The plan to attack the east and the west is too obvious, Sun Quan would rather lose Wuchang than be fooled, he said this naturally to deal with Cao Cao.
Cao Cao would soon capture Jingzhou, Sun Quan felt that it was useless to occupy Jiangxia, and LΓΌ Meng and others did not perform satisfactorily, but Bu Qi and Dong Xi were very successful.
When the battlefield in Nanyang changed dramatically, Buqi and Dong Xi had already done great things in Jiaozhou.
They secretly contacted and cooperated with Shi Xie, and rode Wu Ju with 8,000 steps, chased Lai Gong, and divided the land of Jiaozhou with the Shi family.
Sun Quan is no match for Cao Cao and Long Xiang, but it is very easy to pinch these soft persimmons in Jiaozhou, and he let Bu Qi control Cangwu, Yulin and other counties as soon as possible, and make plans for the future.
If Cao Cao Jingzhou defeated Guan Yu and went down the river to destroy Longxiang and annex Jiangdong, Sun Quan planned to replace Shixie and seize Lingnan, he felt that Jiaozhou was such a barren land, Cao Cao should be given to himself to govern, and he would still be the emperor of a land.
If Cao Cao took Jingzhou and turned around and went to Guanzhong to eliminate the strong enemy Liu Bei, Sun Quan would temporarily keep the Shi family and turn north to seize the four counties of Jingnan, which would be connected with Yuzhang and Jiangxia, and Sun Quan's jurisdiction would also be moved from the southeast to the central and southern regions.
Although the population and land of this area are not as rich as those of Wuhui, they are superior to the vast territory and vertical and horizontal mountains.
If Cao Cao and Liu Bei fight for a few more years, Sun Quan is very confident that he will gain a firm foothold, and he may be able to become a hero.
Sun Quan was thinking about making a comeback, and then personally looking for Long Xiang for revenge, but he didn't know that Long Xiang didn't treat him as an opponent.
Hefei always paid attention to the movements of Xu Capital, and learned that Cao Cao personally led an army of 200,000 to go on the expedition, but Long Xiang was well prepared but endured it first.
Until Liu Bei took Hongnong, Long Xiang thought that the time was ripe, so he led 30,000 people out of Huainan by water.
Because Huainan's foundation is too thin, Long Xiang can't be a leading bird at all, so he is so cautious.
He brought out 30,000 people in Huainan, of which 10,000 were not soldiers, but craftsmen led by Qiao Ling.
The Qiao sisters, as well as the Chen family, have always hoped that Qiao Ling will make achievements.
Long Xiang asked Qiao Ling to lead the craftsman battalion to make up the number, thinking that although it is not possible for the craftsmen to fight, the tasks of building temporary camps, setting up obstacles, and digging trenches will definitely be completed well.
The pillows of the Qiao sisters are gentle, and Qiao Ling is the apprentice taught by Long Xiang himself.
has been in Huainan for many years, and it is time to take his brother-in-law to become famous.
