"Heh, I said where the people went, it turned out to be under Lu Bu's command."

In Xiangyang City, Cao Cao, who was holding a bamboo slip, leaned on the handsome chair, a little lazy, with a disdainful face, "I went to invite him three times and twice, but he didn't come, but he ran to Lu Bu, it seems that my prestige is far inferior to his Lu Bu."

Someone is coming, summoning the Fa is coming. ”

"Whoa."

After the soldiers retreated, Cao Cao threw the bamboo slips on the table, and he was not in a good mood.

Feng Xiao Pang Shiyuan.

A well-known figure, at least here in Jingxiang.

Cao Cao sent people to invite him into the curtain several times, but he resigned for various reasons, and then ran away.

At that time, I thought it was just him to avoid the expedition, but who would have thought that he would go to Lu Bu, which made Cao Cao feel very unhappy.

Although the letter also made it very clear, this guy was Lu Bu who first mixed into the ten departments of Guanzhong, and only surrendered after Ma Teng Han was defeated, but what kind of goods are the ten departments of Guanzhong, how can he even look down on himself to vote for Ma Teng.

In the final analysis, it is still necessary to use Ma Teng as a springboard.

Annoying guys.

"Sikong." It didn't take long for Fazheng to come.

"Look at the letter that just arrived." Cao Cao nodded at the bamboo slip on the table.

Fa Zheng stepped forward and frowned after taking a quick reading.

It was a letter written by Zhong Xuan, which roughly talked about the current situation in Sizhou, including Lu Bu's troops, generals and strategists who followed him.

Among them is the name of Pang Shiyuan.

The name of Feng Xiao has also been heard by Fa Zheng in Yizhou.

One thing to say, he didn't take it too seriously, there are too many scholars in this world who blow each other up and raise their own worth.

Not to mention that he is a huge leader, even Cao Cao, who has not yet succeeded, went to Nanyang to pester the famous scholar Xu Shao to ask for a criticism, so that more people can recognize him, and this is why he has the saying that he is a capable minister and a hero in troubled times.

But in the final analysis, not everyone is Cao Mengde, many people just want to earn some fame so that they can live in strange goods.

"Sikong has decided to do something to Sizhou?" This is the only answer that Fa Zheng can think of.

"Yes."

Cao Cao also sat up straight after exhaling a breath of turbidity, "I have thought about it seriously, Xuzhou is a quagmire, if you can't capture it immediately, then Xuchang will face the trap of Lu Bu and Zhang Liao at the same time, and I will have no time to rescue at that time."

On the Jizhou side, Zhang Liao has sixty or seventy thousand people on hand, and Liyang is a strong city, which is difficult to break through in a hurry.

After thinking about it, it is most appropriate to start with Sizhou. ”

Fa Zheng bowed slightly, but his face was not surprised.

Since the last time he asked himself and Xun You for a choice, Fa Zheng knew that Cao Cao had his own plans in his heart.

At this time, it is impossible to say who is right and who is wrong, as long as the army is used, there must be a risk, it is just whether it is worth taking this risk.

Fa Zheng wanted to fight Xuzhou because he was confident that he could quickly break through Xiao Pass, and Xun You chose Jizhou because Yecheng was the political center of Lu Lin, just like Xuchang and Cao Cao.

And Cao Cao wants to fight Sizhou, he should value Lin Mo's absence from Lu Bu's side, and he thinks that this puppet is the best to handle.

At the same time, the throat of Sizhou, Tongguan, is not a completely impregnable existence.

"Is Sikong afraid of Pang Tong?"

"I won't tell you the truth, I want to beat Lu Bu because I fancy that Lin Mo is not by his side, if I want to say that I am afraid, he is not qualified enough, I just think things will be tricky."

Cao Cao squinted his eyes and twisted his fingers, "I don't know what kind of character this guy is now, but I don't know if the method you said earlier will work." ”

"No problem."

Fa Zheng also pondered for a moment, and slowly bowed his head and said: "Lu Bu has just taken Sizhou, and at this time, he must be purging internal affairs, approving acres and population, and rectifying soldiers and horses.

Moreover, Pang Tong was originally from Jingzhou, and he didn't know the terrain of Sizhou at all, so he thought it was feasible. ”

Cao Cao turned his head to look at the sheepskin drawings behind him, his eyes were all in Sizhou, and he also felt that his words were reasonable.

After a while, he turned his head and said in a deep voice: "In addition, you have also seen that Lu Bu has an army of 120,000 in his hands, and even if he subtracts 30,000 people and goes to Liangzhou, there will still be an army of 90,000.

Moreover, these 90,000 people are Lu Bu's most elite and good fighting troops, and there are 10,000 cavalry alone, as well as chariots and inexhaustible grain and grass. ”

In the past few years, the recruitment speed in the Central Plains has been good, and with the troops he has obtained from Jingzhou and Yizhou, if Cao Cao does his best to strike now, of course, he will be able to gather an army of 180,000, which is not counting the water division.

But that's not realistic.

First of all, the 35,000 men stationed in Qian County and Taishan County could not move, otherwise the garrison of Xuzhou would have crossed the border.

Moreover, there were still 45,000 people in Baima City, who were guarding against Zhang Liao, and the two armies looked at the Yellow River, and no one dared to act rashly.

In the end, Jingzhou still has to leave some people here, Liu Bei is a hidden danger in the end, he knows that the casualties in this battle are also very heavy, but the specific number of troops can not be determined, Jiangling City, the lifeblood can not be lost, to leave 20,000 people.

After such a calculation, Cao Cao broke the sky and brought 80,000 people.

It sounds like they are equal in strength, but many of Cao Cao's soldiers and horses are recruits recruited by Xun Yu in the Central Plains, while the Jingzhou army and the Yizhou army have fought very little for many years, and they have not been precipitated in actual combat, and it is difficult to compete head-on with Lu Bu's troops.

In the end, Lu Bu is now rich and oily, the armament of soldiers and horses is too terrible, and the armor rate is more than fifty percent, and he is barely thirty percent.

This is something that can't be helped, you can recruit troops quickly, but you may not be able to quickly build so many armor and ordnance.

That's it, it is still the fruit that Xun Yu got in exchange for his hollowing out.

If it weren't for the fact that Lu Bu's current front was too long, and he had to arrange a large number of people on the border, he would have crushed himself on the front.

Cao Cao knew that if he didn't take this opportunity to give him a head-on blow, it would only be a matter of time before the two states of the Central Plains changed hands.

Now, the biggest problem is not Pang Tong or Tongguan, but the fear that Lu Bu will not guard the pass at all, and will give you stud as soon as he comes up, and under the direct rush of 90,000 troops, his 80,000 people are not opponents at all.

"Sikong just said grain and grass?"

As soon as Fa Zheng reminded him, Cao Cao's eyes suddenly lit up, yes, when the Guandu War was fought at the beginning, if it wasn't for Lin Mo's tricks to sneak attack Wuchao and destroy Yuan Shao's millions of military rations, how could he have won a big victory.

At that time, the situation was also strong and weak, as it was now, or even worse.

"Yuan Chang is now in charge of internal affairs, and he does not participate in military power, so I am afraid that Lu Bu may not reveal to him such lifeline opportunities as grain and grass." Leaving a Zhong Xuan by Lu Bu's side, of course, he could get a lot of information, but this definitely did not include the location of the grain and grass camp.

Even, he may not be able to have a few cronies around him, at least in the military, there must be no people of his own.

"Didn't Sikong say that Pang Tong was by Lu Bu's side?"

The corners of Fa Zheng's mouth outlined a touch of cunning, and after stepping forward to explain his thoughts in detail, Cao Cao's expression gradually froze.

It seems to be shocking, and it seems to be thinking about feasibility.

After a while, he showed a relaxed expression of body and mind, and slowly bowed his head and said: "Smart people are often tired by being smart, okay, this plan is wonderful!" ”

As he spoke, Cao Cao got up excitedly and walked in front of Fa Zheng, put his hands on his shoulders, and said in a deep voice: "Filial piety, you should be the first to take credit for this victory!" ”

"It's too commonplace, and I want to know which general is going with the troops and how many people are there."

"Chen Zhi and Wu Yi, I am going to allocate them 3,000 cavalry, but less is less, I can only give so much." Cao Cao's expression became solemn again.

In the confrontation with the Lu army, the most disadvantaged was the cavalry.

During the battle between Lu Lin and Guanzhong, he spent a lot of effort to purchase a batch of war horses from Longyou, and Yizhou captured another 2,000 horses, plus 8,000 cavalry from his own side.

It's a pity that Xiahou Yuan folded more than 2,000, and Cao Cao himself could only barely make up 6,000 cavalry.

In other words, the cavalry he himself brought to the front line to confront Lü Bu was only 3,000.

In plain warfare, the biggest reliance is cavalry, which is also the reason for the lack of confidence.

"I've fought with Lu Jun many times in the past, so Lu Jun should have a lot of armor, right?" Fa Zheng asked.

"Of course, it's all in the storeroom."

"Okay, that's enough, with the cooperation of this party, there is a great chance to break Lu Bu." Fa Zheng re-inventoried, not to mention exhaustive, but also felt that the feasibility was very high.

Cao Cao's frowning brows were also stretched.

He likes Fazheng's confident appearance, which always reminds him of Guo Jia's appearance when he was in the army.

Moreover, the deployment just now sounds really similar to Guo Jia's habits.

This battle cannot be lost again.

If you lose again, the Central Plains will no longer have a foothold of its own.

Yecheng, on the martial arts field, the idle old yin was watching Jiang Yiqu and them perform martial arts.

To say that Jiang Yiqu, Zhang Nan, and Jiao Touch really have no talents, especially after seeing Gao Shun's military training, the old yin feels that this is not at all.

Zhang Liao originally had a hand in military training, but he seemed to cherish the eight hundred guards too much, not only spent a lot of money to build a variety of weapons and armor, but also equipped each of them with a great horse.

Good fellows, now they can charge when they get on their horses, and they can get into battle when they get off their horses.

It's not fun, and it's more ruthless to take them to practice every day than to trap the camp.

Zhang Liao even said in front of Jia Xu that his own personal guard, on the horse is more ruthless than the wolf riding in the state, and getting off the horse is more ruthless than trapping the camp, in a word, it is unbreakable.

Jia Xu also advised him to think less about the matter of charging into battle, and that the handsome should focus on the art of war, and always be happy, just don't do it.

After watching Jiang Yiqu's training, he was ready to go to Zhang Liao again and said.

At this time, Zhang Liao, who was in the military tent in the military camp of the martial arts field, picked up six copper coins and put them into a quaint turtle shell, and shook them in a good way.

Divination, learned from the old yin, asked why he wanted to learn, because he was handsome.

Boom.

After the six copper coins fell from the turtle shell, Zhang Liao pondered for a moment and muttered: "Gen Shang Xun Xia, Mountain Wind Gu, Yuan Heng, Li Shi Dachuan." ”

He raised his head and pondered, "Lishu Dachuan, do you want me to go out for activities, it's a good hexagram, it's been too boring lately, so let's go to White Horse City for a walk." ”

I happened to come in and heard Zhang Liao's explanation of the hexagram with a black line, "Wenyuan, what do you want to do?" ”

"Oh, it's nothing, I just made a divination, and according to the hexagram, I should go to White Horse City." Zhang Liao said with a look of course.

Jia Xu helped his forehead and glanced at the copper coin on the table, "Gu hexagram, what does this mountain wind Gu hexagram have to do with you going to White Horse City, how do you solve the hexagram?" ”

"Isn't that right?"

Zhang Liao also knew that he was half-, so he humbly asked: "Then you say, what does this mean?" ”

Jia Xu glanced at him, although he was speechless for this not very serious coach, he was used to it after all, and he groaned with his chin under his pestle, "Mountain wind Gu, many hexagrams change, everything is not appropriate, this is going to happen."

"What's wrong?"

Jia Xu looked at the teacup on the table, dipped his fingers in some water, and wrote down the three words 'Mountain Wind Gu', and said: "The mountain is disturbed by the wind, and it is devoured by insects, and this Gu character has the word worm in it."

Eaten by raw insects, this is a hint that there is a spy in our army. ”

Zhang Liao leaned back tactically, no, why is it so far away from me, "Spy?" Where's the spy? ”

Jia Xu was still staring at the six copper coins, muttering to himself, "Although the mountain wind Gu has many hexagrams, the master is in the west."

"West"

After Zhang Liao lowered his eyebrows and repeated Jia Xu's words, his eyes suddenly flickered, "Wen Hou is in Guanzhong at this time, you won't be saying that Wen Hou has a spy by his side, right?" ”

"According to the hexagram, that's what it means."

"Who is it?" Zhang Liao said eagerly.

"Where do I know where to go?"

Jia Xu looked at Zhang Liao like a fool, "The hexagram can spy on the heavens, but how to interpret the hexagram depends on how many points you can sense, and the slightest mistake can be thousands of miles." ”

Judging from the current situation, this is not a good hexagram, and I should think about any good way to deal with the fact that something is going to happen in the west.

The old yin is a little hesitant, the hexagram peeks into the sky, but the way of heaven is impermanent, and he goes to an irrelevant place without any instructions, which is unreasonable.

What's more, Yecheng is not only the capital of Jizhou, but also the political center of Lu Lin, if the boss leaves rashly, once the Cao army attacks, it will not be a joke.

What happened in Yecheng was enough to shake the entire Lulin Group.

If it weren't for this importance, Lin Mo wouldn't have to let Zhang Liao and himself stay with so many people, this truth, the old yin understands.

It's just an ordinary hexagram, maybe I misunderstood, the old yin can only think like this, let Yecheng be exposed to danger, this is a matter of sin.

"So, what the hell are we going to do?" Zhang Liao asked.

"Wen Yuan, you have dozens of hexagrams this day, if you have to do something for each hexagram, then you have to run all over the thirteen states of the Han Dynasty, right?"

As soon as Jia Xu said this, Zhang Liao nodded and said, "That's right, I have made thirteen hexagrams today, there is no need." ”

There's no way, Zhang Liao is really stuffy when he stays in this big rear, he doesn't know what he can do except divination, and he has been thinking about making some articles about White Horse City recently.

However, the old yin has been holding back, so he naturally can't do anything out of the ordinary.

Shucheng has been attacking for twenty days in a row.

Both Sun and Lu suffered heavy losses.

The Lu army lost no less than 8,000 people, this is the number of killed, not the number of casualties, there are more than 7,000 wounded soldiers, and the casualties are 15,000.

The battle has reached this point, and there is some taste of killing red eyes, so Chen Gong didn't dare to persuade again, but he felt that this was really not like Lin Mo's style.

To put it bluntly, he really didn't have any way to break the city or lure out the Jiangdong army.

Even in the past 20 days, he would discuss with Liu Ye every day if there was a better way, but in the end, he didn't come up with a reason.

On the night of resting, Lin Mo suddenly summoned all the civil and military soldiers, which made everyone see a glimmer of hope, whether it was time to change the tactics.

"I went to the wounded barracks just now, and the casualties of our army are already very heavy, it's time for a truce."

After Lin Mo finished speaking, everyone looked at each other.

Armistice?

Fight to this point on the truce?

Is it to persuade to surrender, but Jiangdong is harder than bones, and with the deep hatred between the two sides for many years, I am afraid it is impossible.

"Yunwen, are you going to pretend to withdraw and lure Jiangdong to chase and kill?" This was the only explanation that Chen Gong could think of.

"It's reasonable to pretend that Cao's army is attacking and withdrawing, but how can Jiangdong chase and kill without cavalry, what's more, aren't they waiting for us to withdraw, only by confirming that our people have left can it be possible to open the city." Liu Ye shook his head and said.

Lin Mo's expression was solemn, he held the table case with one hand, and said in a deep voice: "It's good to withdraw half of it, leave some people to guard here, and you don't have to attack the city, just trap Jiangdong in Shucheng." ”

"Yunwen, why did you attack the city in the first place?" Even Zhao Yun couldn't help but speak, after all, the casualties during this period of time were indeed heavy, and they couldn't be completely meaningless.

Lin Mo glanced at him and said firmly: "Don't worry, we have done what should be done, and it is enough for Sun Ce and Zhou Yu to do the rest." You guys. Let's go and straighten out the soldiers. ”

"Whoa."

After everyone was weak, they turned around, and Lin Mo suddenly reminded: "By the way, Daxu can't move, in addition, although the city will not be attacked in the future, Yan Liang and Wen Chou need to use cavalry to put pressure on Shucheng on the periphery during the day." ”

After exchanging glances, the two brothers arched their hands again: "Huh." ”

After everyone retreated, Lin Mo breathed a sigh of relief, leaned back on the handsome chair, and his face sank like water.

With so many dead people to act in this play, it should be enough to deceive Zhou Yu.

I just hope that this time I don't let Sun Ce run away, and if I pacify the south in one fell swoop, I won't have time to recover it, and I won't be able to run there.

If necessary, you can even contact the Lu family first.

Lu Xun should be twenty-four or five years old this year, and even if he is a leader, he is also a family style in his bones.

Shucheng

Lin Mo took a sip of tea and covered the teacup with the location of Shucheng on the map.

Thank you for the support of the alliance leader of the contemptible Huang Banxian.

To be honest, I never expected that I would be rewarded by the alliance leader, because not only the readers, but also myself would feel that my level was not very good.

However, I just want to write about the Three Kingdoms in my mind, not just a horizontal push.

Please believe me, I am substituted for every trick, which involves the personality and psychology of historical figures, as well as the state of everyone after history changes.

So I also thought about it.,This kind of text may not be so popular.,After all, it's a bit contrary to the invincible and side-scrolling cool article.。

Unexpectedly, this alliance leader didn't appear, and when he appeared, it turned out to be three in a row.

The new author once again knelt down to thank the three big guys.
