The two ministers looked at each other and smiled, both of them had a good heart - the key to everything was military rations

The world has been in drought for a long time, except for Jing, Yang, and Xu are located in the Jianghuai area, and even the large-scale waterwheels in western Henan, they can only barely sustain themselves.

In the autumn of the fourth year of the early peace in history, Cao Cao raised troops to fight against Tao Qian in order to avenge his father, and his father's death was just a fuse, and he would find an excuse to invade without this reason.

Due to the split of the northern forces into two factions, Tao Qian was the first line of Gongsun Zhan, Yuan Shao made Zhu Lingdu three battalions to help Cao Poxu, and Qingzhou Thorn Shi Tian Kai came to the rescue as the first line of Gongsun Zhan.

And Cao Cao launched the Qingzhou soldiers, it was a few years ago that the Qing and Xu Liukou who were driven out of Xuzhou by Tao Qian, were forced to land by Cao Cao and changed the brand and swept again, but it was a veritable "return to the hometown group", Cao Cao also intended to indulge this Qingzhou army disaster in Xuzhou, and created countless bloody tragedies in various counties and counties - for the traitorous male, he is not afraid of sin, as long as he can successfully establish a larger basic plate, he can bear it.

And it was this bandit army that quickly destroyed the popular morale and war potential of Xuzhou, and was able to force Tao Qian out of the city to fight, and then won a quick victory in Xuzhou, laying the foundation for Cao Cao's great power in the Central Plains.

In history, Tao Qian's army defeated Pengcheng, the dead were tens of thousands, Surabaya did not flow, and the Qingzhou Thorn Shi Tian Kai and Liu Bei, who were also of the Gongsun Zan line, led troops to rescue Xuzhou, and only then did they curb the Qingzhou soldiers' looting.

Cao Cao couldn't support the consumption of more than 300,000 troops at once, and the military rations were exhausted and retreated - this has a precedent, and it is inevitable that the governor will not be able to change the grain, and it can even be said that Ye Qing has poached the grain master of Zaoyi, and the effect of Yanzhou Tuntian will be greatly reduced, and even the military rations will be more scarce

After two months of farming, he sent troops to attack, causing hundreds of thousands of people, and destroying the fruits of Xuzhou's spring ploughing.

While Cao Cao borrowed 300,000 Qingzhou soldiers to eliminate the opponents in the Central Plains, he also plundered the second pot of gold (the first pot of gold was to seek Yanzhou).

However, this kind of army of 300,000 troops, which cannot be guaranteed by military rations, is only a "pseudo-army", which must be spread to the localities to "eat", and can only fight a good battle, but it is easy to be defeated by each elite regular army.

In history, Tao Qian had a Danyang soldier in his hand, but in fact, it was possible to defeat the Qingzhou soldiers, even if he sent 5,000 Danyang soldiers to curb the Qingzhou soldiers and encourage the local resistance to Cao, the situation was very different.

However, Tao Qian himself was restrained by Cao Cao's main force, and Tao Qian's group did not have a capable general to send Lu to stop it, and it lacked a complete middle and lower-level non-commissioned officer system, no matter how good the soldiers were, they could not exert their strength, so they were eaten to death by Cao Cao's group.

When Xuzhou is dilapidated and withered, even Liu Bei Group will be powerless to take over.

At this time, Ye Qing entered the field with 100,000 troops in advance, and the strength of Xuzhou had not yet withered, so the situation for Cao was very different - after the five red armor light cavalry were scattered, they connected the local anti-Cao forces, and the Qingzhou soldiers were purged in large numbers, and they lost 50,000 or 60,000 in almost three days.

With the strong support of Ye Qing's elite soldiers, he changed the massacre situation that was broken by the Qingzhou soldiers in history, and publicized the tragic situation elsewhere through the news plate everywhere he went.

Ye Qing combined his historical vision at this time, and suddenly realized that he was ignoring the corner - the governor's strategy was broken, and now it seems that he can use the grain he grabbed a few days ago to set up a company camp and form a group confrontation, but if he sits on the mountain, the 300,000 army will soon be unable to hold on

Guo Jia is completely superior in wisdom and strategy, and has a systematic grasp of the military, policy, organization, situation, luck, and people's hearts, and has insight into this inevitable situation, and wants to create a killing situation in response to this situation.

At this time, he only said with a calm smile: "Lord, you are in a hurry to go to Luo, time is very tight, but Cao Cao can't support the food consumption of the confrontation of the 300,000 army, and the time is also very tight, we might as well let him be tighter."

Ye Qing waved his hand and laid down the soundproof magic array, and Guo Jia slowly said a series of strategies.

The evening breeze of the summer night whistled on the top of the hill, as if it blew away the sound, and the white-eared soldiers from near and far could not hear it clearly, only Ye Qing, who was close at hand in the soundproof magic circle, could hear it clearly, and his expression gradually changed.

After listening to this series of strategies, Ye Qing thought for a long time and admired: "I was born with filial piety, and I am really lucky to be able to meet it." ”

"Not really. Guo Jia did not take credit: "This strategy can only be done by the strength of the lord, and it is not a victory of the strategy."

As he went down the mountain, Ye Qing looked at the Cao army company camp in the dark night, and his eyes were deep: "The governor thought that if he had the alliance of earthlings and knew the history of the Dao, he could give up the top strategists, but he made a big mistake, these people are not only limited to historical strategies, but can create history themselves." ”

Especially when the governor's alliance failed to crush Ye Qing, he tried to crush Tao Qian's "natives" in the old way, which was completely careless - is there really no one involved?

It's not a stand-alone game......

"Someone is here, please come over Mr. Xianhe. As soon as Ye Qing returned to the camp, he wrote a secret letter to Tian Kai, the assassin of Qingzhou, and handed it to Jian Yong: "Please Xian and you"

"The minister will not disgrace his mission" Jian Yong immediately set off overnight.

After following Ye Qing for so many years, he has changed from a young man to a middle-aged man, and his grace and demeanor have not decreased, and he has longer knowledge and knowledge, and the more he shows the demeanor of the number one lobbyist.

After sending him out, Ye Qing ordered again: "Send a message and summon the five generals Huang, Zhou, Dian, Xu, and Zhang to return to the camp quickly to listen to the order." ”

"Yes"

Ye Qing issued orders one by one, and after the dispatch was completed, he wandered in the tent for a while, and his eyes fell on the Sun Jiangdong Army camp on the sand table: "By the way, explore Sun Jian's movements"

There will soon be a short period of confrontation between the group armies, this is a three-way confrontation, and it is one thing to calculate the governor by himself, but he will not do things that will fight with each other and let Yu Fan benefit from the fisherman.

Ye Qing thought so, but he didn't know that on the other side of the twenty miles away, the governor had also sent an envoy to Yu Fan's Shouchun City out of a similar idea.

The envoy was an earthly man who had a bit of a kinship with Yu Fan, and he quickly galloped 200 miles to ask for a meeting, but was soon driven out mercilessly and reported back to the governor in embarrassment.

The Governor was furious and chilled, and no matter who was engaged in a crucial battle with a strong enemy, a strong man eight feet tall stood behind him, and he could not help but feel a little uncomfortable, and a certain sense of crisis was born.

When this feeling was generated, the governor didn't realize that after another setback in the lower soil, he had subconsciously regarded Ye Qing's "pawn" as a strong enemy.

"In this land, the Han family always does not fall down on the head, it is really troublesome" The governor looked at the continuous night camp outside the tent, proud of this force, and a little worried, frowning and thinking: "Although the problem of dividing troops and killing is solved, the food plundered by our army is only enough for 300,000 troops to support half a month." ”

"However, in Luoyang Dong Zhuo, according to the intelligence, Chang'an will be relocated and Luocheng will be burned in half a month, counting the distance to Luoyang and the time to break the tiger prison, Ye Qing will definitely not be able to hold out for a few days...... If I persist, I will win this confrontation, but this Yu Fan has no handle, which makes it difficult to calculate......"

Two hundred miles away, only separated by a Huaishui, Shouchun City, Jiangdong Army Camp.

The light in the pure white tent is still on, showing that the owner is still asleep.

Yu Fan paced in the tent, drinking wine and thinking about problems.

He didn't pay attention to the governor's authority and temptation just now, and now there is only one principle of the Yu family, the persimmon chooses the soft pinch, and at this time he only watched the confrontation between the governor and Ye Qing, just waiting for which side was exhausted first, and which side was his prey Yu Fan.

It can be said that under normal circumstances, Henan, Yan, and Yang are fighting each other, and whoever wins Xuzhou will get the Central Plains. Yu Fan said slowly

Mr. Kou also sat on the side, and he reminded: "The lord doesn't have to be confused by the superficial strength of the two families, the military strength is by no means a strength pile, as long as you look closely, you can see that Ye Qing is anxious to go to Luo, and the governor is eager to solve the grain, both of which are not as leisurely as my Yu family." ”

Yu Fan smiled and nodded: "Mr. is right, it is rare to watch the fire across the river and sit on the mountain to watch the tiger fight, it is a God-given opportunity for Jiangdong to intervene in the Central Plains, and giving up this opportunity is a big loss, the governor wants to send me Yu Fan if he wants to throw a small profit, how is it possible?"

Mr. Kou remained sober and objectively commented on the governor's visit this time: "It doesn't matter whether the two families fight for us or not, my lord, you don't think Ye Qing will do this kind of useless work, and the governor may have the intention of confusing and paralyzing us......"

Mr. Kou said for a moment, and then smiled: "But in any case, the time is on the Jiangdong side, we are not in a hurry, this is our biggest advantage, generally speaking, no matter who Ye Qing and the governor loses or wins, you are the biggest winner, and even take it all."

Yu Fan agrees, but is still a little worried: "Usually so...... But I feel that Ye Qing also knows about this situation, and he is worried that there is fraud again. ”

This kind of hesitation is actually inevitable, Yu Fan and Ye Qing have faced each other all the way, how many times it seems to have forced Ye Qing to a dead end, but Ye Qing jumped out of the dead end, and Yu Fan was stunned with a slap...... It's a reflex.

Normal people will inevitably murmur in their hearts when they encounter this similar situation again, compared to Yu Fan's repeated defeats and repeated defeats, he has lived up to the spirit of Xiaoqiang in his previous life.

In fact, many of the real dragon qi rises with this kind of Xiaoqiang spirit, in Ye Qing's opinion, this Yu Fan is a Xiaoqiang who can't be killed, but in Yu Fan's opinion, why isn't Ye Qing like this?

Of course, in the Governor's opinion, these two rebel bastards deserve to die

Mr. Kou felt that he couldn't analyze the uncle's luck feeling and irrational questioning.

But he couldn't help but respond, and he was also very difficult: "It is difficult for Ye Qing to jump out of this dead end and give up Xuzhou?" He definitely won't, originally in history, Liu Bei was suppressed by Cao Cao and could get Xuzhou, Ye Qing has a hard temperament, and he will definitely not be a low governor at this time...... Then when Luoyang City is burned down, the luck of the clan will decline to less than one-tenth, and the luck of the foreign surname will rise sharply, that is, Ye Qing will lose alone, and everyone will win."

Yu Fan frowned: "That...... What about the Governor?"

"The Governor is now setting up a stove, that is, he is taking the devouring road of war to feed war, and unless he can be beaten to vomit, there is nothing else to distract him, and no righteousness can hinder his movements. ”

"In short, the two heroes of the Central Plains are contending, and with the participation of Tao Qian and Tian Kai, the troops of the first bureau of Xuzhou have reached an astonishing 500,000, and this kind of troop gathering can last? Unless there is a truce of stragglers, this is impossible, so there must be someone who will fall, either Ye Qing or the governor. Mr. Kou affirmatively analyzed: "And we, Jiangdong, wait for work and raise 100,000 troops to the north, so that we can seize this short-term loophole, enter the Central Plains, and surpass the limitations of Sun Wu's dragon qi in history." ”

"What the gentleman said is very true, let's wait to see. Yu Fan made up his mind, no matter how turbulent the situation is, his 100,000 army is really strong, and if he sees the right time, he can always get the benefits that should be reaped.
