Chapter 143 Lord Duke, for now, I can only ask the little gentleman who is arguing with Zhuge Liang on the river that day!!
Inside Cao Cao’s Chinese army tent.
Facing Xia Houtian’s request.
Chen Qun opened his mouth to retort: “General Xiahou, if you take away 200,000 soldiers and horses, what should Jiangdong do if you attack Hefei?” ”
“Don’t look at the fact that we have 80,000 soldiers and 30,000 soldiers and horses sitting in the town, but in the city of Fancheng, 300,000 soldiers and horses must be left behind.”
“Otherwise, if you wave your division north to attack Hefei, then Jiangdong will attack Fancheng with a large army!”
“There are 450,000 soldiers and horses to attack Hefei, and Jingzhou will still have to leave defenders.”
“There are still 100,000 soldiers and horses above the Yangtze River to block the Yangtze River.”
“Do the math yourself, where there are idle soldiers you can give you 200,000!”
Although Chen Qun’s words were sharp, they were true.
Although Cao Cao had 850,000 troops sitting in the town.
However, by guarding Fancheng, Jingzhou, and blocking the Yangtze River, nearly half of the soldiers and horses could not move.
To attack Hefei, at most, only 500,000 soldiers and horses could be dispatched.
And it’s still a quick fix!
Xiahou Tian wanted 200,000 soldiers and horses, so he could only draw from the garrisons.
With 200,000 soldiers and horses removed, the defensive forces of Fancheng, Jingzhou, and the Yangtze River will all become weaker.
If 200,000 soldiers and horses are drawn from the army attacking Hefei, then attacking Hefei will be a difficult problem.
At this juncture, there are no soldiers and horses to be transferred out at all.
Xia Hou couldn’t help frowning when he heard this.
He thought about it and recalled.
He shrugged his nose ruefully and sat back in place.
After taking a seat, Xia Hou Tian said coldly: “Then you say, what should I do now?” ”
When Xia Hou Tian asked this, Chen Qun was speechless.
Because, he didn’t think of any good way.
Xun You pondered for a while, and said tentatively: “Lord Duke, if you ask the little emperor to send another holy decree, let them decide who to choose as the Taishou of Western Liang as soon as possible.” ”
Before Xun You’s voice fell, he was interrupted by Zhong Yu shaking his head.
“Absolutely not, at such a critical moment, you must not send any letters to Ma Teng and Han Sui!” The divine decree is even more impossible. ”
Xun Youyan’s brows furrowed lightly when he heard this, and he asked suspiciously, “Yuan Chang, why is this?” ”
Zhong Yi said: “Let me ask you, even if you ask the little emperor to send a holy decree, if you are Ma Teng or Han Sui, do you think this holy decree means the little emperor or the lord duke?” ”
Xun You heard this and said without thinking: “That is naturally what the lord meant. ”
“In that case, wouldn’t it be called Ma Teng when the lord duke sent a letter at such a time, and Han Sui decided that the lord duke had no time to go north.”
“Sure that the main duke’s army will not return to the DPRK, Ma Teng, Han Sui will have no worries at all.”
“At that time, even if they originally feared that the lord did not dare to attack Xuchang, now they dare to!”
Zhong Shi’s words completely woke up everyone in the big tent.
It makes sense.
Who is the lord?
Kill resolutely, say one thing.
If there is any act of disobedience, it is the fall of the knife and the axe without mercy.
Now, in the face of Ma Teng, Han Sui may defect.
If the Lord sends back a letter.
No matter how the letter threatens Ma Teng, Han Sui.
Both guys will decide that the lord has no time to go north to return to the dynasty.
Because, with the character of the lord, he would not send a letter at all, and directly sent an army to kill back.
The military generals of Wen Chen gasped.
Unexpectedly, this Zhuge Liang’s scheme would have such a sinister link.
Cao Ren pondered for a moment and asked, “Then we will return to the DPRK with a large army, and after solving all the hidden dangers first, we will not be able to go south.” ”
Since entering the account, Xu Shu, who had never spoken, finally spoke.
He shook his head and said, “No, if so, then it will be an opportunity for Liu Bei and Sun Quan to accumulate strength.” ”
Cai Yao, the governor of Jingzhou Water Master, also hurriedly said: “Lord Duke, you must not return to the dynasty!” ”
“If the main duke’s army returns to Xuchang, then my Jingzhou will suffer from the enemy!”
“The 100,000 water divisions in Jingzhou District, even if you count the newly trained 50,000 water divisions and new army, are by no means the opponents of Liu Bei and Sun Quan’s combined army!”
“If Jingzhou is lost, then the lord’s plan to capture Jiangdong will be delayed for a long time!”
Cai Yao’s mood was so anxious not because he was worried that Cao Cao’s plan to capture Jiangdong would be delayed.
Instead, he was worried that after Cao Cao’s army retreated, he would be pinched between Hefei and Jiangdong!
Jiangdong Zhou Yu has always been at odds with Cai Yao.
If Cao Cao withdrew and left, then he Cai Yao would definitely suffer crazy retaliation from Jiangdong!
Cai Yao didn’t want to die.
How Cai Yao thinks mentally, Cao Cao Menqing.
He glanced at Cai Yao impatiently, then turned his head to look at Xu Shu and said, “Yuan Zhi, you continue.” ”
Xu Shu got the order and continued: “Lord Duke, there are many small counties around Hefei. ”
“Moreover, in order to prevent Sun Ce from having a supply point in the north, the lord moved all the people within a hundred miles north of the Yangtze River inland.”
“These people were settled in the counties around Hefei.”
“If Hefei is left alone, it will only take three years for Liu Bei to have an army of 300,000.”
“If it is someone else’s 300,000 army, it is not a rival.”
“But there is Zhuge Liang under Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei!”
“It’s also about Ping, Zhou Cang, these young generals!”
“The 300,000 army they command, but they have combat effectiveness comparable to a million army!”
“If Liu Bei is asked to control an army of 300,000, then he will flow north into the Huai River Valley, Xudu, and Yeye City will be in danger.”
“Therefore, Hefei must not be lost!”
“As for Jiangdong, if the lord withdraws his troops, then Jiangdong will definitely take action against Jingzhou.”
“There are already 100,000 sailors in Jiandong, if you take Jingzhou again.”
“Minister Cheng, who else in the world can retrain a sailor for you?”
Xu Shu’s words spoke to Cao Cao’s heart.
He didn’t want to retire at all.
The six counties of Jiangdong are close at hand, and the Central Plains of Dingding is only in the first battle.
If you withdraw your troops and go back, there will be no hope of taking Jiangdong within twenty years!
How many twenty years is life?
Cao Cao couldn’t afford to wait, he only had this one chance.
With a long sigh in his heart, Cao Cao asked, “Yuan Zhi, do you have a brilliant plan?” ”
Xu Shu shook his head when he heard this, and said apologetically: “Lord Qiyu, I don’t have a good plan. ”
Xu Shu did not lie, nor did he not want to give a plan.
He really has no good strategy.
Zhuge Liang’s note is a dilemma.
Going back is not, it will not be.
At present, Cao Ying was completely in a dilemma.
Cao Cao couldn’t help but show an unhappy expression on his face.
His face was gloomy, and he glanced at the military generals in the tent.
Everyone did not dare to look at Cao Cao.
Because, they don’t have any good way in their hearts.
Cao Cao glanced around, and finally his gaze fell on Jia Xu’s body.
He said in a deep voice: “Wen He, tell me about it, what should I do now?” ”
Jia Xuan couldn’t help but smile bitterly when he heard this.
He stood up and saluted, and said apologetically: “Lord Duke, Wen He is invincible to Zhuge and Fang Cai has thought for a long time and has not thought of a way to break the enemy. ”
“If he retreats, Jiangdong will not be available, and Liu Bei will be allowed to rise.”
“If you don’t retreat, then the Western Liang allied forces will attack Xuchang, and the Tianxia clan will already hold their strength and want to engrave the lord.”
“If Xu Changzhen is captured, I am afraid that all the noble clans in the world will use the excuse of ‘poor protection of the king’ to criticize the lord and the lord.”
“At that time, the former Dong Zhuo will be the lord of tomorrow.”
Jia Yi is worthy of being a poisoner, and he hit the nail on the head and said the worst situation.
Cao Cao’s heart was cold when he heard it.
If it is really as Jia Xuan said, the gaffe can be far more serious than expected.
Jia Xuan pondered for a moment and said, “Lord Duke, for today’s plan, I can only invite the little gentleman who argued with Zhuge Liang on the river that day!” ”
“Perhaps, only he can have a way to defeat the enemy!”
Jia Yi’s voice fell, and the military generals in the big tent all threw expectant glances at Cao Cao.
Cao Cao’s eyes narrowed slightly, and he knew that Jia Xuan wanted to see Chen Fan’s ability with his own eyes.
Cao Cao shook his head, it was not a good time for Chen Fan to appear at this time, because he had not yet grasped the opportunity to persuade Chen Fan to become his chief military division!
Inside the city of Xuchang.
Prison cars pass by through the city.
There are many onlookers, small people in the market, high-ranking officials and nobles…
Eight prison carts, each of which imprisoned a male from the Sima family, seven of Sima Bada, and Sima Fang were all taken into custody.
It’s just that one Sima Zhongda is missing.
Xu Chu, who was sitting on a high-headed horse, was very upset.
Yu Gong, Boss Cao clearly said that you are not allowed to let one go!
Yu Private, he originally came with Sima Yi!
Now that the most important Sima Yi has been missed, how can Xu Chu not be distressed?
Xu Chu originally planned to turn the entire Xuchang City upside down!
However, learning from the city gate that Sima Yi had fled out of the city in the rain a few hours ago, Xu Chu could only help.
“This Sima Zhongda is really not simple…”
Xu Chu muttered in a low voice: “I actually predicted in advance, if I meet him next time, I can’t help but say that I will definitely cut him off in two!” ”
Although Xun Lingjun had already issued an arrest warrant in the Central Plains, Xu Chu did not think that he could be arrested.
Not necessarily, it can only be said that there is little hope…
“Xun Lingjun!”
“Xun Lingjun save us! We have been wronged! ”
“The three horses are three horses, and there are eight brothers of my Sima clan, right, not right!”
“Xun Lingjun, you have been wronged!”
Xun Yu threw his hands and said slowly towards Sima Fang on the prison car, “Xun Yu has come to send Sima Gong.” ”
At this time, Sima Fang’s face was full of sorrow, and he only said loudly: “Three horses in the same groove is fake, killing chickens and monkeys is real!” ”
“Gentlemen, just do it yourself!”
After saying that, the prison car was pulled out of Xuchang City, leaving only the panicked warriors in the city looking at the prison car team in the distance, and the entire Xuchang City set off a monstrous wave of Sima Clan in Hanoi, this is the end?
Without any warning, saying that if you are raided, you will be raided!
Especially when Sima Fang left, that sound: Three horses in the same groove is false, killing chickens and intimidating monkeys is true!
It struck the hearts of many warriors…
Boss Cao uprooted the Pang family in Jingzhou, and now he has copied the Sima clan of Hanoi!
Could it be that Boss Cao was really infected by the “Theory of the Guilt of the Shi Clan”?
Started fighting local tyrants?
“It seems that Cao Chengxiang is planning to attack these warriors!”
“Then Sima Fang doesn’t know what to say, this is killing chickens and making monkeys! Now that Cao Chengxiang is fighting with the Sun Liu Alliance in Jingzhou, it is not a self-chaotic formation to deal with the Shi clan now, and Cao Chengxiang will definitely not be so much! ”
“I don’t think so, if it is to kill chickens and intimidate monkeys, it has already destroyed the Jingzhou Ponzi, and there is no need to do anything to the Sima clan of Hanoi!”
“I see you don’t know the inside story…”
“What insider?”
“I haven’t heard of it, Cheng Xiang had a dream, three horses eat the same trough!”
“This, this Sima is also a horse?”
“What do you say, is it possible to become a white horse and not a horse?”
The entire Xuchang City was fiercely discussed.
The extermination of the Pang clan occurred in Jingzhou, while the Sima clan of Hanoi happened around them, watching the tiger and leopard ride into the door, and watching all the Sima clans in Hanoi become prisoners!
Captain’s Mansion.
“Father, the Sima clan of Hanoi, is also a famous family, actually… So it’s gone? ”
Yang Xiu was a little panicked at this time.
After all, these things happen all around you!
“Is Cao Chengxiang really planning to do something to our warriors?”
Yang Dezu’s voice was full of fear.
After all, the “Theory of the Guilt of the Warriors” has actually left a shadow in his heart.
A smile appeared at the corner of Lieutenant Yang Biao’s mouth, and he only said, “Dezu, don’t panic.” ”
“Let me ask you, General Cao Cheng, how many warriors are there?”
Yang Xiu thought for a moment, and said, “Most of them…”
Yang Xiu, who was scheming, sighed: “Since most of them are, how can Cao Chengxiang start, and how can he start?” ”
“In fact, Cao Chengxiang’s intention, when Sima Fang left, had already been clearly and unmistakably stated.”
Yang Xiu’s eyes suddenly widened: “Three horses in the same groove is fake, killing chickens and monkeys is real?!” ”
Imperial Lieutenant Yang Biao nodded and said, “Now that Cao Cao is fighting against Sun Liu’s allied forces, the two sides are fighting each other, and the victory or loss of this battle will even determine the direction of history for the next hundreds of years!” ”
“If Cao Cao wants to win, he must have a stable rear!”
“Dezu, thinking about things can’t be limited to one point, let go and see, besides Sun Liu, which other force in the whole world is Cao Cao’s henchman?”
“Three horses in the same groove, Cao Cao’s affliction, is it just Sima of Hanoi?”
“Wuhuan was slaughtered, the Xiongnu submitted, there is no major calamity in the north, Jingzhou in the south has fallen, and the allied forces of Zhengyu and Sun Liu in the southeast are in a corner of Bashu in the southwest, yes…”
Yang Xiu suddenly realized: “It’s Liangzhou!! ”
Liangzhou Ma Teng father and son, as well as Han Sui, the two mercenaries are more than 300,000!
Moreover, mostly cavalry!
If they took advantage of the combined forces of Cao Cao and Sun Liu to fight in the Great River, hundreds of thousands of cavalry rushed to raid Xuchang…
The consequences are really unimaginable!
“Father, you mean that the Sima clan has colluded with the Ma Teng father and son in Liangzhou?”
“The minister copied the Sima family, intending to deter the Central Plains?”
Yang Biao was silent: “In the current situation, the tree wants to be quiet and the wind is not stopping, and the only thing is to kill chickens and monkeys to deter all parties.” ”
His eyes narrowed slightly, and finally he said meaningfully: “Although Cao Cao is good at killing, he will not kill people for no reason.” ”
This is not just Yang Biao’s opinion, it is almost the thoughts of all the nobles in Xuchang City.
Yingchuan Chen.
Dozens of people were talking: “Now Cao Chengxiang and Sun Liu’s allied forces are about to break out!” ”
“Hundreds of thousands of cavalry troops in Liangzhou are watching, if they attack Xuchang by surprise…”
“According to me, it will be just an excuse for three horses to be in the same groove, it must be the Sima Shi clan and Ma Teng’s father and son colluding!”
“After all, now that Mr. Nameless has to be reused, the most outstanding Sima Yi of the Sima family has an old grudge with Mr. Nameless, and Cao Chengxiang himself is disgusted with that Sima Yi, so it seems that the Sima family can only take risks and seek a way to survive!”
Inside the palace.
Liu Xie listened to Zhao Yun’s report about the raid of the Sima clan, and his expression was complicated.
Zhao Yun even had a sense of happiness when he learned that the Sima clan had been arrested.
But when he learned of Sima Bada’s Zhongda, Sima Yi did not capture it, and he was very unhappy in his heart.
Sima Yi was not a good impression of Zhao Yun.
What’s more, he also instigated Zhao Yun, and wanted Zhao Yun to kill Chen Fan if it weren’t for the fact that he is now a heavy minister beside the Son of Heaven, accusing him of not being able to act rashly, he would have already picked up the gentian bright silver spear to stab that guy…
“Three horses in the same groove? I think this matter is not so simple, what do you think of Zilong? ”
Liu Xie thought for a long time and only said such a sentence.
