Chapter 410 Jia Xu chases Cao Cao overnight
As for Liu Bei's intention at this time, Cao Cao did not discuss with Jia Xu, the super counselor around him. He could also see a few points: Liu Bei turned back to Changsha County and rendezvous with Liu Qi. Liu Bei's intention was to take advantage of Liu Qi's identity and wait for the opportunity to take back Jingzhou from his own hands. If Liu Bei occupies Jingzhou and wants to deal with him again, it will be too late!
Think back: Cao Cao also has to admire Liu Bei. Liu Bei's vitality is indeed tenacious. From the beginning of the crusade against the Yellow Turban Army, even if he was suppressed by other princes and Cao Cao himself, Liu Bei still survived tenaciously and became more and more powerful in the cracks. Now he has been assisted by two super advisers, which shows the strong momentum of his rise. If Cao Cao can completely eliminate Liu Bei at this time, no power in the future can compete with him.
Although Liu Bei's current strength is not as good as that of other local princes at this time, the pressure he brought to Cao Cao made it difficult for Cao Cao to sleep and eat. Therefore, once Liu Bei's trace was found, Cao Cao couldn't wait to personally lead four super generals and 10,000 tigers and leopards to chase Liu Bei.
When Cao Cao led the tiger and leopard to the Yangtze River, he saw the military heavy truck discarded by Liu Bei's army. These military heavy vehicles are incomplete, which is obviously the damage caused by the emergency march. At this time, Cao Cao did not see a ship on the north bank of the Yangtze River, and the messy scene showed that Liu Bei's side must have left the Yangtze River south bank by boat. Liu Bei's side left the south bank by boat and did not go to the north bank. This situation shows that Liu Bei's side took a boat to the east...
What is Liu Bei's intention to lead his troops to Jiangdong by boat? ... Cao Cao was puzzled, because he felt that after several years of operation, he had formed an ally with the Jiangdong Sun Group and was an in-laws ally. Didn't Liu Bei flee to Jiangdong and throw himself into the net?
No matter why Liu Bei fled to Jiangdong, Cao Cao did not have the opportunity to chase Liu Bei at this time: because he did not have a ship available. Even if there were ships, his generals and soldiers were born and grew old. Generally, they could not swim. Once they got on the boat, their combat effectiveness would be reduced by half. At this time, the south bank of the Yangtze River was still few people. There is no unimpeded official road at all, and there are hills, swamps and primitive mountains and forests everywhere.
If Cao Cao wants to continue to chase Liu Bei, he can only cross the river to the north bank, and then continue to chase Liu Bei along the official road on the north bank. This is the only way in front of Cao Cao.
In order to find a ferry to cross the river, Cao Cao could only lead the tiger and leopard to the last ferry, because it was impossible to go directly to the next ferry. Even if there were ships at the ferry, it must have been destroyed by Liu Bei's army.
Cao Cao led his army to the last ferry and immediately recruited boats from the surrounding fishermen. The ferry crossed the river, even if there was a personal experience (Cao Cao led the army to attack Jingzhou Prefecture, that is, the ferry crossing the river), most of the war horses still did not adapt to the shaking ships and turbulence, and some cavalrymen were still seasick as usual.
At this time, it has entered winter, and the cold river has frozen through the bone marrow. A battalion of 2,000 tigers and leopards crossed the river, and Cao Cao couldn't wait to lead them to the east of the river. When Cao Cao led the army to rush a hundred miles, a light cavalry galloped from behind.
Cao Cao looked at the breathless light cavalry with a cold face. The light cavalry did not disarm. He arched his hand to Cao Cao and said, "King of Wei, Jia Jijiu is on the way behind. Jia Jijiu has something important to discuss with the King of Wei. Please stop marching immediately..."
When Cao Cao heard the words, he was suddenly angry: What's wrong with Jia Jijiu? Doesn't he know the truth of the speed of soldiers? He has something to discuss with himself. Doesn't he know that the most urgent thing at present is to eliminate Liu Bei?
Although Cao Cao was dissatisfied, he had to listen to Jia Xu's message. After all, it can't be a matter of urgency and hurt the relationship between you. Cao Cao, who calmed down, also thought that if it was not an urgent matter, Jia Xu would not have chased him from the rear. According to the distance and time of Jia Xu's journey, Cao Cao quickly judged that Jia Xu must have been on his way overnight, otherwise, Jia Xu could not have caught up with him so quickly.
Coned with Jia Xu's anxiety, Cao Cao ordered that the soldiers with the army stopped moving forward and rested on the spot. Zhang Liao, Xu Huang, Zhang Xiu and other generals did not understand why Cao Cao changed day and night, but this did not prevent them from unconditionally obeying Cao Cao's orders.
A super team can cope with all kinds of complex changes. It can be said that at this time, Cao Cao's team, the degree of tacit understanding between the master and the general, and the degree of unity between the generals and the generals have reached the highest level, which is completely comparable to any team in history, such as Qin Shihuang, such as Liu Bang, such as Liu Xiu......
An hour later, Jia Xu came to Cao Cao under the protection of the four tiger guards. At this time, Cao Cao was sitting on a blue stone in purple gold armor. When he saw Jia Xu's horse stop, he took the initiative to meet Jia Xu. When Jia Xu turned over and dismount from the horse, without waiting for Jia Xu to kneel down, Cao Cao held Jia Xu's arm and whispered, "What's wrong with Jia Zhijiu?"
So far, Cao Cao Cao has not been able to guess what is the major thing about Jia Xu's face-to-face meeting: if there is a man-made rebellion in Jingzhou, Jia Xu is fully capable of such a thing; if it is another important matter, such as Yizhou Liu Zhang taking advantage of the fire to rob and send troops to occupy Jingzhou, seize territory, plunder the population and Wealth, such things, Jia Xu can communicate with himself with letters...
Jia Xu's face was pale and breathless. He looked worried and whispered to Cao Cao, "King of Wei, I suggest you stop chasing Liu Bei..."
"What?!" Cao Cao looked at Jia Xu with a questioning face, as if he had just known Jia Xu at this moment. Let him stop chasing Liu Bei, it's like letting the pervert stop raping, just like a hungry tiger not eating the meat on its mouth.
Of course, Jia Xu knew Cao Cao's emotional reaction. When Cao Cao helped him to the blue stone and let him sit down, he quietly explained to Cao Cao, "Master, the current situation has changed dramatically. If the master insists on chasing Liu Bei, the consequences will be unimaginable... Lord, yesterday, I received a secret report from a senior detail. Lord, this advanced work is Chen Lin, whom you arranged to study with Mr. Sima Hui a few years ago. According to the secret report sent by Chen Lin, the mysterious super counselor Wolong also followed Liu Bei..."
Chen Lin mentioned by Jia Xu is a detailed work arranged by Cao Cao to Sima Hui in the early stage of his rise. This person is intelligent, calm, and is extremely suitable for playing a detailed role. Chen Lin has achieved success in her studies. This time, Sima Hui asked him to go out to travel and increase his knowledge and talent. He passed by the place where Zhuge Liang lived and went to visit. As a result, he did not see Zhuge Liang himself, but saw Zhuge Liang's wife Huang Yueying packing with the servant.
Under his questioning, Huang Yueying did not regard him as an outsider, so he told him frankly about Zhuge Liang's wheres and the fact that he was going to move to other places. When Chen Lin learned that Zhuge Liang had followed Liu Bei, she immediately calmed down. Regardless of revealing his identity, he sent the news to Jia Xu.
When Cao Cao heard this, his face suddenly turned sideways. He took a cold breath and said, "Really? What do you like about Liu Bei with Wolong..." When Cao Cao said this, he felt naive: At the beginning, didn't Guo Jia, Xun Yu and others abandon Yuan Shao, who was in the sun and was determined to follow themselves in the trough?
According to the information held by Cao Cao: the five super counselors circulating among the people belong to Wolong Zhuge Liang's extraordinary ability. Zhuge Liang's planning and prediction ability is no less than the ghost talent Guo Jia, and he is also good at channel skills... No matter how strong a person's ability is, how can he have time to learn so many skills? And it's all time-consuming. What about completely different skills? No one else did it. Guo Jia was wrapped, but Zhuge Liang did it.
Of course, another super counselor that Cao Cao already has is also an extraordinary ability: this person's martial arts has reached the peak of the intermediate level, and his planning ability and prediction ability are also outstanding. However, this person is not with Cao Cao for the time being.
Five super counselors, Cao Cao of course knows their names: Wolong Zhuge Liang, Fengchiu Pang Tong, Youlin Zhou Yu, Zhonghu Sima Yi, Xuanwu Xu Shu. Youlin Zhou Yu belongs to the Jiangdong Sun Group. Zhonghu Sima Yi has been deliberately cultivated by Cao Cao since childhood. Now, Liu Bei's luck has broken out, and he has three super talents at once. Can Cao Cao's psychology be balanced?
He knows the benefits of super talents: he can not only do things, but also gather popularity... If Liu Bei is given another year and a half, Liu Bei can definitely stand out and rise strongly, just like Cao Cao's situation in those years. Therefore, when Cao Cao thought of Liu Bei's bright future, he couldn't sleep and eat.
For Cao Cao's words, Jia Xu can feel Cao Cao's loss and dissatisfaction from it. He pretended to be deaf, and then said in the previous topic, "King of Wei, when I received this secret report, I asked the accompanying feng shui master to divine for you. The result showed that Kanglong has regrets, and the tiger falls to Pingyang... So, I will chase you all night, that is to tell you first: We will not chase Liu Bei for the time being!"
When Cao Cao heard this, he shook his head and said, "Jia Jijiu, if Liu Bei is not completely eliminated this time, will he be allowed to develop? Liu Bei will definitely rise rapidly. At that time, how can we deal with him? ..."
As Cao Cao spoke, his expression became anxious. For many years, Cao Cao has never been so uncontrollable. No wonder Cao Cao has been a victorious victory in recent years. Now that he encounters setbacks, he naturally can't hold it. No matter how wise he is, he is still a man of human nature.
As for Cao Cao's situation, Jia Xu, who has insight into human nature, certainly knows it well. No matter how Cao Cao chooses, he must do a good job as a counselor, even if he makes some untimely and unspeakable remarks. In this way, it will not be possible for Cao Cao to ask him to settle accounts in the future.
Accompanying you like a tiger, it has always been like this!
Jia Xu stared at Cao Cao and said slowly, "King of Wei, do you feel that we have been led by Liu Bei's nose? ..."
When Cao Cao heard this, he slowly shook his head. He looked at Jia Xu puzzledly.
"King of Wei, according to the convention, Liu Bei's side came to Changsha County. After meeting with Liu Qi, he should guard the city and fight against us. Why did Liu Bei choose to continue to flee? Jia Xu narrowed his eyes and then said with a detailed analysis, "Since Liu Bei chose to escape, why didn't he seize the time and stay overnight in Changsha County? Didn't Liu Bei know that the marching speed of the infantry was far slower than that of the cavalry? ..."
