Grassroots Overlord of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 419 Guo Jia plays tricks on Tai Shici

At this time, Zhuge Jin interrupted Zhuge Liang's story. He looked at Sun Quan and said slowly, "Sun Hou, as Kong Ming said, Cao Cao's side also has a fatal weakness, but our soldiers and Uncle Liu's army add up to only 80,000. Even if we have the Yangtze River as the support, how can we resist it? What about Cao Cao's early attack? .......

Zhuge Jin's worries are also very realistic: Due to Jiangdong's implementation of the policy of reducing troops and expelling foreign people in recent years, the Jiangdong army has been reduced from more than 100,000 to only 70,000 to 70,000. During the day, Sun Quan's uncle Sun Hao led more than 30,000 Jiangdong soldiers to leave Jiankang City and move to Fuchun County. Therefore, Liu Bei and Sun Quan's allied army is only 80,000 at this time. With 80,000 troops against Cao Cao's 500,000 troops, he is a normal person. Can he have confidence in his heart?! The current situation shows that only by successfully blocking the initial fierce attack of Cao's army can the battle be dragged into a stalemate... Finally, Cao Cao's side can't stand the consumption of military resources, food and fodder, and can't help the downturn in morale. At that time, he will retreat without fighting. This result is also the result expected by Sun Quan and Liu Bei.

But how to operate and plan to achieve this result? At this time, Sun Quan and others' hearts were like a mountain, which was very heavy.

Facing this question, Zhuge Liang smiled and said, "Brother, you are too worried! Ladies and gentlemen, please take a look here..." Zhuge Liang pointed a thin stick to the area of the Chibi ferry on the map and said relaxedly, "According to Liang's prediction, if Cao Cao leads the army to attack the boundary of Jiangdong, he will only launch an attack from the Chibi ferry? Why is Liang so sure? Because Cao Cao's super counselors can also recognize various realities. In order to prevent the sharp outbreak of various contradictions, Cao Cao can only launch a short-term war. In this pattern, Cao Cao's army is destined to only choose from Chibi as a breakthrough and launch an attack... If Cao's army successfully captures Chibi Ferry, then Jiangdong can't resist Cao's army and can only surrender to Cao Cao... Ladies and gentlemen, if Cao Cao chooses to attack Jiangxia County, which is close to the city with sharp weapons, what will be the consequences? What about it? The consequence can only be to drag the war into an endless state of stalemate..."

Zhuge Liang's argument is well-structured and highly compatible with reality, so Sun Quan and others have a clear feeling of "one point": as Zhuge Liang said, if Cao Jun chooses to attack Jiangxia County as a breakthrough, because the number of super generals of Sun and Liu's coalition at this time is no less than Cao Cao's side, so Come on, Sun Liu's allied forces can send super fierce generals out of the city to fight against the enemy and fight against the enemy outside the city. Since then, the Cao army is doomed to be unable to place siege weapons on the position smoothly... Even if Cao Cao is desperate and concentrates hundreds of thousands of soldiers to attack Jiangxia County, even if the city is successfully occupied, the casualties of the Cao army will definitely be Cao Cao obviously can't afford this kind of loss. From Jiangxia County to Jiankang City, there are two important military towns and fortresses in the middle. Can the heavily damaged Cao army still have the heart to continue to attack?

Compared with the attack on Jiangxia County, the distance between the north and south of Chibi Ferry is only more than 2,000 meters. Isn't it easy to cross the distance of more than 2,000 meters? A building boat, down with the wind, just a cup of tea. If Cao's army successfully captures the Chibi Ferry, then the hinterland of Jiangdong will appear under Cao's iron hooves. At that time, wasn't it easy to capture Fuchun County, the heart of Jiangdong? As long as Fuchun County is captured, it is equivalent to holding Jiangdong's throat - Fuchun County is the base camp of the Sun family, and most of the high-level families of Jiangdong Group live in that city. At that time, even if Sun Quan still has the will to resist Cao Cao, he can only surrender to Cao Cao obediently...

Zhuge Liang finished speaking and looked at Zhou Yu calmly. Zhou Yu took the opportunity to say, "If, as Mr. Zhuge said, Cao Cao commanded the army to attack our Chibi camp, the governor would definitely be able to resist... After all, almost all the soldiers and soldiers of the Cao army are from the north, and their water fighting skills are far less than those of Jiangdong soldiers! The actual combat effectiveness of the Jingzhou sailors compiled by Cao Cao is not a concern... Ha ha, the waters of Chibi are so big. Once the actual battle is fought, can Cao Cao send more soldiers to participate in the attack again?"

When everyone heard Zhou Yu's words, they suddenly felt more energetic, and the mountain-like pressure in their hearts disappeared in an instant. Zhou Yu is a rigorous general, and he will not brag about it. Just as everyone was immersed in the beautiful "yi-**", Ma Yi beside Sun Quan also said, "Mr. Zhuge's words are reasonable, and Zhou Dudu's strategy to meet the enemy is also realistic... What I'm worried about is that in case Cao Cao launches a battle against Chibi and Jiangxia County at the same time, how should we deal with it? Sunhou, if you were Cao Cao and had so many soldiers, would you only choose to attack the Chibi Ferry? ..."

Ma Yi's topic suddenly made everyone fall into meditation. Taishi Ci participated in the discussion with the mentality of soy sauce, but he himself was also deeply impressed by Zhuge Liang's ability: Zhuge Liang is really a fairy fart - extraordinary...

When Zhuge Liang heard Ma Yi's remarks, he smiled and responded, "Mr. Ma's thinking is in line with the actual situation... No matter what our result against Cao Cao is, it is certain that this is an arduous battle. From the beginning of the battle, we can only passively follow the offensive rhythm of the Cao army... If it is true As expected by Governor Zhou, we successfully repelled the initial attack of Cao's army in Chibi. Next, Cao Cao will definitely use his advantage to divide his troops to attack Jiangxia County. At the same time, Cao may even dispatch mobile troops from Qingzhou to launch an attack in Jiangdong... Cao Cao's move is to make a comprehensive attack, so as to divide our troops and order soldiers. We are overwhelmed and overstretched... Ladies and gentlemen, if Cao Cao does this, isn't his purpose still to take the Red Cliff Ferry as the main direction of attack? Cao Cao's side can only use the Chibi Ferry to make a deal..."

Ma Yi's topic made everyone's heart a knot; and Zhuge Liang's analysis made everyone open. Since then, smooth communication has strengthened everyone's confidence and determination to fight against Cao Cao!

After a night of frank discussion, everyone reached an agreement: they felt that one side could resist Cao Cao's attack, and finally let Cao Cao's side retreat... If they wanted to completely defeat Cao Cao, they didn't even dare to think about it at this time! They just want Cao Cao's side to retreat, take the Yangtze River as the boundary, and develop separately. Of course, if Cao Cao withdraws his troops, the area south of the Jingzhou River will be the fruit of the victory of Liu Bei and Sun Quan. As for how to distribute the fruits of victory, it remains to be discussed!

At the end of the small meeting in the secret room, Sun Quan looked at Tai Shici and asked with great concern, "Tai Shidu, before your injury has recovered, let your two subordinates share more tasks for you..."

Sun Quan's question immediately made Tai Shici feel guilty. He felt as if a cat had been stepped on its owner's tail. In particular, Zhuge Liang swept him with the afterglow of his eyes intentionally or unintentionally. For everyone present, only Zhuge Liang knows the real situation of Tai Shici at this time, which is more lively than a dragon and a tiger...

Tai Shici knew that he could not continue to hide his real physical condition. He tried to keep calm and said to Sun Quan, "Sun Hou, the dark disease of his body has been cured... Sun Hou, in order to better fight the enemy, please ask Sun Hou to keep it secret for the time being..."

Sun Quan heard that Tai Shici's dark illness had healed, and his heart was as happy as the clouds. Zhou Yu and Zhuge Jin are also overjoyed. When everyone didn't pay attention, a trace of worry flashed in Ma Yi's eyes...

Tai Shici has left Sun Quan's mansion for three days. When he came to the secret room of his official residence, he found that Guo Jia, Bo Cai, Gan Ning, Gao Shun and Surman were enjoying a rich breakfast. There is no need to think too much or ask. Tai Shici knew that he had a meeting at Sun Quan's mansion all night, and Guo Jia, Gan Ning and others also stayed up all night in the secret room of his mansion.

Guo Jia invited Tai Shici to the banquet. After dinner, the five people did not say a word to Tai Shici. Tai Shici wanted to know the content of their meeting, but as long as he wanted to open his mouth, he was changed the topic by the five people. In this way, Tai Shici's appetite was raised - the more the five people didn't want to talk about the content of their meeting, the more Tai Shici wanted to know. At this moment, Taishi is anxious like an ant on a hot pot.

Guo Jiawu felt that Taishi Ci's patience had reached a critical point. Guo Jia blinked at the other four people and then said to Tai Shici, "Tai Shi, don't worry. The five of us just bragged in the secret room all night... Taishi, Sun Hou decided to form an alliance with Uncle Liu to fight against Cao Gong, right? Hey hey..."

Guo Jia did not answer what Taishici wanted to know, but asked Taishici. Tai Shici also wanted to pinch Guo Jia and others, but this matter is not enough. Tai Shici tried his best to squeeze out a smile and nodded to Guo Jia.

"Haha, this battle is enough for Cao Gong to drink a pot..." Guo Jia heard the words and laughed up to the sky. Then, his clear eyes were covered with a layer of fog and said faintly, "If you fail once, you can change it to a stable development for decades, Mr. Cao should really have a big fall..."

When everyone heard the words, they didn't understand Guo Jia's opinion: before Sun Liu's coalition and Cao Cao Cao started a war, Guo Jia predicted that Cao Cao would definitely lose! In the face of everyone's doubts, Guo Jia did not further analyze and explain. Everyone did not ask, because they have seen the punishment of God's punishment. Isn't Taishici a living example?

The sky can't be leaked, but there will always be a day when the sky will come out. Bo Cai and others are patient enough to wait. After that, everyone chatted for a while. Finally, Taishi Ci said to everyone, "Guys, our task in the future is to act as a mobile force, support the defense of Chibi Ferry and Jiangxia County at any time, and help the defenders in these two places resist the invasion of Cao's army..."

"Ha ha, no matter what the outcome of this battle is, in the early stage, Sun Liu's coalition must be difficult..." Bo Cai looked at Tai Shici with a smile and said casually, "Tai Shi, the senior management of Sun Group and Liu Bei's think tank have their own views on this battle. We also have our own views on the future situation in Jiangdong. I need your full support..."

Tai Shi Ci listened to Bo Cai's ambiguous words, and his consciousness flashed. At that moment, he seemed to know the content of Guo Jia's five people's secret conversation overnight.
