Since the battle report of Xiahoudun's death reached Xiangyang City, Cao Cao pretended to give the battle order and locked himself in the general's mansion.

For ten days, no one came.

Not to mention that Jing Xiang has just changed his master, Cai Mao, Zhang Yun, and Kuai Yue, a group of local civil and military generals, need to be played and adjudicated with Cao Cao on many things, just after the news of Xiahoudun's death spread, the turmoil of all parties also needs him to come out to appease.

But Cao Cao closed himself up, whether it was the local Wenchen generals, or the Yingchuan strategists, or even Xiahou Yuan came to the door, he couldn't see Cao Cao.

Of course, the good news is that Jingxiang's soldiers and horses have never really gone north, and after knowing this situation, Xun You and Guo Jia breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts, Sikong has stabilized in the end.

It's okay not to see anyone now, after all, I really don't know how to explain many things once I open my mouth, such as his own reversal, such as whether Cai Mao, Zhang Yun and others will be tempted by it.

It is also possible that he was really sad and unable to help himself because of Xiahoudun's death.

In any case, at this time, it is actually wise to close the door and thank customers.

During these ten days, no one knew what Cao Cao was thinking or doing in the house, only that after he received the information sent by the scouts on this day, the herald hurriedly ordered Xun You and Guo Jia to pass through the house.

The two guessed that he should have adjusted almost and wanted to discuss ideas with the two.

Now whether it is Beiguo or Jingxiang, it is actually quite chaotic, you can rest for a few days, but you can't really leave it alone, ten days is still controllable.

The two of them entered the inner hall through the door guarded by Dian Wei and Xu Chu, only to see a map of length and width spread on the ground, and Cao Cao sat on the main seat and squinted at the map.

"Sikong." The two bowed, anticipating the scene in front of them.

"I say, listen."

Cao Cao's voice was very low and a little hurried, as if he was reluctant to say a word of nonsense, "After Lu Bu gets the northern country, according to Lin Mo's past habits, he will definitely spend some time rectifying internal affairs to stabilize the rear, and it is estimated that this time will be at least half a year to a year."

In other words, I have less than a year left for me.

In this year's time, I not only have to completely absorb Jingzhou, but also prepare for a life-and-death battle with Lu Bu.

Judging from the map, wait for Lu Lin to rest and then wave his troops south, from Kwantung to Yandong, a thousand-mile front can be used for battle, once he attacks on multiple roads, I will be difficult to care, so I intend to mainly consolidate the foundation of Yanzhou, as for the Western Front battlefield or can be reinforced. ”

After talking about the strategic deployment of the future battle with Lu Bu in one breath, Cao Cao glanced at Xun You and Guo Jia.

The two first glanced at each other, and then Guo Jia spoke first: "Does Sikong plan to invite the Ten Divisions of Guanzhong to enter Guandong?" ”

Cao Cao took a deep breath and slowly bowed his head, "Xun Yu has been in business for two whole years, and the Kanto region has begun to take shape, so it's a pity to give it up at this time, but only in this way can Lu Lin's attention be diverted." ”

Guo Jia and Xun You looked at the map attentively, thinking about what Cao Cao was doing.

The so-called Guanzhong Ten Divisions are actually the forces of Liangzhou and Sizhou that rebelled in the Guanzhong region in the past.

They are Ma Teng, Han Sui, Hou Xuan, Yang Qiu, Li Kan, Zhang Heng, Cheng Yi, Ma Wan, Liang Xing, and Cheng Yin.

Among these people, except for Ma Teng and Han Sui, whose basic plates are in Xiliang, the rest of the people's basic plates are in Guanzhong, and even half of them are from Hedong County, Sizhou.

It's just that after Zhong Xuan entered Chang'an, he imposed a soft policy on them, coupled with Zhong Xuan's own status, which can be regarded as reluctantly appeasing these people.

In the romances or film and television dramas of later generations, among the ten films in Guanzhong, except for Ma Teng and Han Sui, who are more famous, the other eight seem to have a feeling of passers-by.

In fact, in history, Cao Cao's opponent in the battle of Tongguan who seized the ship to avoid arrows, cut his beard and abandoned his robe was the ten departments in Guanzhong, and if Ma Chao and Han Sui were alone, it would not be enough to argue with Cao Cao.

In their ranks, there are a large number of brave and warlike Qianghu tribes, especially Han Sui, because he himself is the leader of the Qianghu support, and it is very feasible to use them to fight against Lu Lin Weng's son-in-law.

After all, these guys are from a lot of reckless backgrounds, and they have launched all kinds of looting and rebellions for money and food for many years, such as today's edict to appease and give up the three already large-scale counties of Kanto, Hedong, Hongnong and Hanoi to them, even if they know that there is a certain risk, they can't help but bite the hook.

And as long as this force is used well, even if Lu Lin's target is the Central Plains instead of Kwantung at that time, the ten divisions can take the opportunity to counterattack the state and share the pressure of Cao Cao.

After completely sorting out these situations, Xun You and Guo Jia glanced at each other, with firmness in their eyes, obviously highly admiring this strategy, but Guo Jia still couldn't help but add: "What about the traps we deployed in Hanoi?" ”

"I've also thought about this section, if Lin Mo is cunning, he may not jump into this pit, and even if he really calculates him, it won't hurt their vitality, since this is the case, it is better to send this dark line to the ten departments in Guanzhong."

At this point, the two of them have completely understood that Cao Cao has calculated a series of things, and calling them here today is nothing more than to hear if there is anything that needs to be corrected.

The strategic deployment of simply taking the world as the game is the only controllable and feasible confrontation layout at present.

In any case, it is always better to face the ten divisions of Guanzhong than to face Lu Lin Weng's son-in-law, if he wins the northern kingdom in this final battle, I believe it will not be too difficult to expel the ten divisions at that time.

Cao Cao rubbed his wrists, and without listening to the opinions of the two, he continued: "This morning I received a report from Jiaozhou and Xiangnan scouts, Sun Ce led his troops to Cangwu, and Liu Bei's new military advisor Zhuge Liang went south alone.

On the surface, it seems that he is trying to persuade Sun Ce to let Wu Ju live, but how can such things be hidden from my eyes.

If I guessed correctly, he was worried that once I used troops to southern Hunan, Liu Bei's sailors at hand would not be able to defeat Cai Mao and Zhang Yun at all, so he wanted to use the Jiangdong sailors to compete with me, named Bao Wuju, but in fact acted as a lobbyist for the alliance between the two parties. ”

Cao Cao only learned the news in the morning, and Xun You and Guo Jia only learned about the situation in the south from his mouth.

Even if you think about it carefully, you also agree with Cao Cao's opinion, what kind of person is Zhuge Liang, after all, he entered Xiangyang, and he can finally hear some legends, such as the Wolong and Phoenix chicks can settle the world.

But for such a statement, in their opinion, they do not believe rumors and do not spread rumors.

But the side also reflects that Zhuge Liang's status in Liu Beijun should be second only to Liu Guanzhang and the others, how could such a person of such weight run to Jiaozhou for a Wu Ju, it should be for the alliance.

From this point of view, it is true that at this time, it is no longer possible to use troops against Shonan.

"The state has changed hands, and the hearts of the people in Jingxiang are fluctuating, so we either don't fight, and we must win the war, otherwise we will die and have no place to be buried.

Under the alliance between the two parties, I am afraid that the Jingzhou Navy Division will not be sure of victory, but! ”

Cao Cao's eyes were fierce, he stood up and stepped on the location of Jiang Xia marked on the map, and raised his head and said: "He probably forgot whose hands Sun Jian died, and he may be able to put aside his grievances for the time being, but if I ignore Xiangnan and watch the fire from the other side, I want to see if Sun Ce can let go of his father's revenge with Huang Zu." ”

"Sun Quan died in Guangling, and Sun Ce and Lu Bu are also incompatible, so they can indeed be used by the commonplace." Xun Yu added.

Cao Cao's face was not shocked, obviously, even if Xun Yu didn't remind him, he had already thought of all this.

In their opinion, Sun Ce not only will not be cited as reinforcements by Liu Bei, but may also be a sworn enemy who will form a fire and water.

Now, you just need to look on the sidelines, Liu Bei's troops can protect themselves, but it is absolutely impossible to cross Xiangshui with troops, and Sun Ce, occupying Jiaozhou, can indeed think about Lingling and Wuling, but Cao Cao believes that Huang Zu should be more attractive to him.

Koto Xiaobawang. Cao Cao snorted coldly.

"Sikong's first move is to invite the ten divisions of Guanzhong to enter the Guandong to balance Lu Bu, reduce the pressure on our army's western front, and concentrate his forces in the Central Plains to fight to the death; The second move is to watch the fire from the other side, sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, and wait for Huang Zu and Sun Ce to fight, and our army will wait for the opportunity to move. ”

Guo Jia stared at the map at Cao Cao's feet, and said in a deep voice: "If you guess correctly, the third move should be to pry open Hanzhong, the gateway to Yizhou, the country of abundance." ”

Cao Cao stood motionless on the map, his eyes looked into the distance, and his face sank into the water: "Zhang Lu, with five buckets of rice to teach demagogy, he and Liu Zhang have been fighting endlessly over the years, and there have been attacks from time to time.

If he used troops against Zhang Lu, Liu Zhang would not help him, and to the north was Qinchuan, which was eight hundred miles away, and a corner of Hanzhong had become a place of death, and he was powerless to compete with me.

This battle can not only help me settle down the heart of Jingxiang's army, but also open the gateway to Yizhou, so that the people of Sichuan and Shu will panic, just wait for the time to be ripe, take the country of abundance, connect Jingxiang, enough to raise 500,000 soldiers. ”

Three moves, each move is based on Cao Cao's current situation to make the most rational and feasible strategic deployment, some places, even Xun You and Guo Jia did not see clearly, but after listening, there is no problem at all, both of them are Cao Cao's deployment stirred up a sense of anger.

In fact, Cao Cao himself is an excellent soldier, which Guo Jia and Xun You have always known.

What makes them happy is that Cao Cao's reverse quotient can also be so strong, and after suffering such a blow, he did not close the door and secretly feel sad, but planned the overall situation alone, just like Lin Mo used the world as a chessboard to stir up the situation.

This is the male lord Cao Mengde they respect.

"In the future, I think this strategy is the only feasible strategy at the moment!" Xun You took the lead in expressing his position.

"Seconded below." Guo Jia gave up.

With the support of the two of them, Cao Cao finally slowly closed his eyes and listened attentively.

He heard it, heard that the defenders in Jinyang City were fighting to the death, asking for help, Zhao Yun was attacking with Yan Liangwen and Chou, and Man Zhong and Cao Zhen were not afraid of death.

Over the years, although his strength has been growing all the way, the battle with Lu Lin has always ended in failure, and this matter is almost about to become Cao Cao's inner demon.

Every time I close my eyes, I can't help but think of the fiasco of the past, Xiahoudun, Li Tong, Cao Chun, Cao Xiu, Gao Lan, Lejin, Che Xuan.

It's heart-wrenching.

If there is a will, it will be done, and the one hundred and two Qin Passes will eventually belong to Chu;

Hard-working people, the sky is not bearable, lying on the salary to taste the gall, three thousand Yuejia can swallow Wu

These sad sorrows, I only hope that it is the inherent sacrifice of the grand hegemony, if one day to the top of the mountain, I will not forget your name, will be invited to the temple one by one

"Let's go down, let Cai Mao, Zhang Yun and the brothers of the Kuai family come over." Cao Cao waved his hand and sat back on his seat.

After the two of them gave up, they turned and left to give the order.

As local civil and military generals, the four of them also reported a lot of affairs, such as the reorganization of soldiers and horses, and the problem of reorganization, such as some county officials and county orders left by Liu Biao that needed to be replaced.

In this regard, Cao Cao agreed very happily.

In fact, he knew in his heart that these things didn't need to be reported in detail, in the final analysis, they just wanted to test whether they would go north.

Probably, they pointed to themselves to go north, so that they could choose a master for Jingzhou again and sell it at a good price, right?

Even, if you come so late, you may not be able to enter this Xiangyang City.

Cao Cao knows very well that these people are humane, but at the moment, he can only turn a blind eye, especially if he has to use troops against Hanzhong next, let's stabilize them first.

There is one thing that Cao Cao did much better than in history, that is, he has made great achievements in the cohesion of the hearts of the Jingxiang army and the people.

In history, Cao Cao, after swallowing the northern country and pocketing the Central Plains, hundreds of thousands of troops stretched to the border, and Liu Cong and Cai Mao also surrendered very simply, but after entering Jingzhou, the oppression of the local people by the soldiers of the Cao army can be called bandits.

The Jingzhou army was commanded and plundered by force, which caused the Jingzhou army and people to be dissatisfied with Cao's army.

In fact, the defeat of Chibi and the uneven hearts of Jingzhou people are also a reason that cannot be ignored.

And Cao Cao in front of him suffered the baptism of Lu Lin's defeats, and his soldiers and horses and strength were far inferior to himself on the wheel of history, and because of this, his restraint on the sergeants would be stronger.

After sending the four of them away, Cao Cao felt that he could finally get a good night's sleep.

Ten days, a whole ten days, I can't say that I haven't closed my eyes, but I really haven't slept well, and I have always been awakened, so after dealing with these, his whole person looks very tired, and his eyes are bloodshot.

I thought I would sleep on the bed, but after I fell asleep, I still tossed and turned.

In the end, he sat up helplessly, he rubbed his temples to relieve the symptoms of the headache, why was he so upset, I thought it was not enough to appease Jingzhou.

"Zhong Kang, go, get the Cai family to sleep!"

After a hearty 'boom' came from outside the house, Cao Cao sighed heavily.

If you want to appease Jingzhou, you must first tie up the relationship with the Cai family.

Facts have proved that Cao Cao's guess is right, Cai's proficient in eighteen kinds of martial arts, everything goes deep into the end, so that Cao Cao's tense nerves can be relaxed.

Cai himself is quite happy, after all, Liu Biao's bad old man is obviously not as brave and good at fighting as Cao Cao.

In addition, since Xiangyang has welcomed Cao Cao into the city, Liu Cong's future is in Cao Cao's hands, and it will not be wrong to please him.

Outside Jinyang City, Yan Liangwen Chou has already taken over several counties of Xihe, Yunzhong, and Yanmen, and with their prestige, they almost never moved, and they all opened the door and surrendered very simply.

Considering the problem of garrisoning, Yanmen needs to arrange a little soldiers and horses, earlier Yuan Shao deployed 20,000 people in Yanmen County to resist Xianbei plunder, after the Central Plains War, Cao Cao invaded and merged with the state, and the senior cadres also transferred the people here.

Now that they have taken over, they have to think about the people in the border areas.

came back and told Zhao Yun that he didn't have any opinions, and now he only deployed 8,000 people in Yanmen, and maybe he needed to increase his troops when he turned around.

But these decisions had to be handed over to Lu Bu and Lin Mo to make.

What gave Zhao Yun a headache was that he never thought of a way to break through Jinyang City.

This can make Zhao Yun scratch his ears and cheeks anxiously, the way is not that he didn't think about digging tunnels, such as using thunderbolts to attack, and even let people shoot into the secret letter, pretending that Cao Cao's reinforcements have arrived, and they should be besieged inside and outside, and make the appearance of a riot in the rear.

Even if all kinds of tactics are exhausted, people are full of favors and are not fooled, so what can they do?

Zhao Yun even began to admire Yu Manzhong in his heart, after breaking the city, he must arrest this guy as his lieutenant, and he can fight and be smart.

"Cao Cao's city is very deep, if you guess correctly, there should be special marks in the letters exchanged by Cao Jun to distinguish them." Guo Tu looked like he was holding a pearl of wisdom and analyzed.

When Yan Liangwen heard this, it made sense, if it was not Cao Jun who came to the rescue, but other princes, soldiers and horses, maybe he could lure out full of favors with this method.

But Zhao Yun really couldn't admire Guo Tu, perhaps because Lin Mo privately called him a dog-headed military advisor, and he was also as disdainful as Lu Bu.

Of course, the main reason is that he was sent by Lin Mo, but when he arrived at the Jinyang front, he didn't provide a strategy, just claiming that when the critical time came, Jinyang City would be self-defeating.

There were a few times when Yan Liangwen even suggested that it would be better to attack again, but Guo Tu rejected it, but he came this time to hang up the identity of the prison army and control the ranks of the first army.

"Sir, if it drags on any longer, I'm worried that Cao Cao's reinforcements are coming, and if there is a strategy to break the enemy, I hope to inform you." Zhao Yun patiently asked.

This is the third time he has said this, Guo Tu pinched his fingers and counted the days, and said with a calm smile: "Okay, the original words of the Marquis of Lanling, please ask General Zilong to continue the siege of the city, and the Cao army will not go north to rescue." ”

As soon as these words came out, Zhao Yun, Yan Liang and Wen Chou looked at each other, "Why? ”

"First, Cao Cao was worried that the Marquis of Lanling was a half-way ambush to encircle the point and send reinforcements, and he would not be able to fight if he was far away; Both, Jing Xiangxin was not attached to the people's hearts, and Cao Cao did not dare to leave rashly; As for the three, the defenders in the city defended Jinyang, but they were also full of energy, and then declined, and the three were exhausted; If we know that Cao Cao has no reinforcements arriving, the hearts of the troops in the city will collapse in an instant, and we can even take Jinyang City without blood. ”

It's as simple as that?

Yan Liangwen looked surprised, and thought it was some clever method, but it turned out to be just cutting off their thoughts?

Zhao Yun laughed at himself and shook his head helplessly.

"I see, I understand, I have betrayed Yunwen's trust."

After Guo Tu explained the actual situation, Zhao Yun immediately realized.

No wonder this guy has always been calm, because he knew that Cao Cao would not come to the rescue, Yunwen asked him to hang up the position of a supervisor, which is to prevent me from storming Jinyang City, Yunwen This is deliberately sharpening my ability to be in charge.

From beginning to end, Yunwen overlooked the battlefield from the perspective of the overall strategic situation, and he could accurately judge that Cao Jun would not rescue, but he fell into the thinking mistake that he had to capture Jinyang before Cao Jun came to his rescue.

It seems that the use of troops in the future is not only within the war situation, but also needs to calculate everything outside the war situation, only in this way can we gain insight into the opportunity and make accurate choices.

Zhao Yun, who had figured out all this, didn't feel how excited Jinyang was about to break the city, but instead felt ashamed that he couldn't give Lin Mo a satisfactory answer.

He knew very well that whether it was to pinch Zhang Yan, or to encircle and suppress Xiahoudun, or even to conquer and merge the state, these were all things that Lin Mo had already calculated that there would be no accidents, but he intended to give this opportunity to himself, so that he could carry a heavier burden in the future.

Zhao Yun exhaled a breath of turbidity, that's it, he can only ponder more in the future, it is best to take down the full favor, which can be regarded as a kind of compensation for Lin Mo.
