Grassroots Overlord of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 422 Cao Mengde is full of ambition

Today's night attack on Cao's camp, Sun and Liu's allied forces have done a very good job of confidentiality: in order to ensure that Huang Gai's fleet can approach Cao's fleet formation, and to ensure the success rate of the sneak attack, it can be said that Sun Quan, the head of Jiangdong Group, did not know about the sneak attack, and even Gan Ning, who was far away in the southern battlefield of Qingzhou. No one knows the battlefield of Jiankang City in the middle. Of course, Taishici knows the main general of the battlefield of Jiangxia County, which is the horn of Chibi Ferry City. At this time, only Guo Jia and Bo knew about the sneak attack of Sun Liu's allied forces tonight, and even the deputy generals Gao Shun and Suerman did not know.

Zhuge Liang ascended the altar and began to cast spells to gather the energy of the wind. At the same time, Guan Yu led an elite cavalry from a secret ferry upstream of Chibi to cross the Yangtze River. With the cover of thick fog, he detoured to the rear of the Cao army. The remaining troops under Liu Bei participated in the night attack under the leadership of Zhang Fei. Of course, due to the lack of manpower, Liu Bei also went into battle.

The pre-war preparations of Sun Liu's allied forces were carried out under the cover of thick fog. In Cao's camp thousands of meters across the river, there was no abnormal situation in Sun Liu's allied camp. This is not to blame the incompetence of the Cao army's scouts and scouts, but today's fog is too thick, and the visibility is only five meters.

The Cao soldiers and soldiers who are busy in the building are extremely uncomfortable with this thick fog weather: sometimes when they are walking, they will suddenly see another general suddenly appear in front of him, like a ghost. That scene suddenly shocked him...

And Cao Cao himself knelt on the first floor of the Chinese military building ship with Changshi Xun Yu, the military master Jia Xu and others. In public occasions, Jia Xu, a military sashimi, rarely speaks and rarely participates in discussion. His style is very similar to that of his predecessor Guo Jia. At this time, Changshi Xun Yu became the keynote speaker.

Xun Yu looked up at the thick fog outside the window, and then calmly said to Cao Cao, "King of Wei, this kind of weather can cover Huang Gai to cross the river... King of Wei, Huang Gai's sincerity will definitely make Sun Liu's allied troops feel distracted. When the morale of Sun Liu's allied forces is reduced to the lowest point, we can take the opportunity to launch a thunder attack! As long as we successfully capture the Chibi Ferry, the battlefield in the south of Qingzhou will easily win. In the end, the defenders of Jiankang City will surrender without a fight..."

Cao Cao heard Xun Yu's statement and nodded with satisfaction. Xun Yu's remarks are very compatible with the real situation: as Xun Yu said, if Cao's army successfully captures the Chibi Ferry and defeats Sun Liu's allied forces, then the Jiangdong army will definitely take the initiative to surrender on the battlefield in the south of Qingzhou, because the soldiers there are all the army of Sun Hao, the third-level general, and Sun Hao is Cao Cao's secret ally. Sun Hao once promised Cao Cao that as long as Cao's army can defeat the main force of Sun Liu's allied forces at the Chibi Ferry, Sun Hao himself will take the opportunity to surrender, and then cooperate with Cao's army to besiege Jiankang City, and finally force Sun Quan to surrender...

Cao Cao lowered his head and took another look at the military map, and then looked up at Xun Yu and said, "Xun Changshi, the war is approaching. Our food and fodder supply must not be careless..."

Of course, Xun Yu knew Cao Cao's implication: at the beginning, when he was crossing the river, Cao's army took the bottom of the pot, burned Yuan Shao's grain and fodder base, and finally took advantage of the chaos to defeat Yuan Shao. Even if Cao Cao is easy to be proud at this time, he can still realize this clearly.

Cao Cao knows that it is precisely because of the problem of grain and grass that these two battlefields cannot launch a large-scale offensive war in Jiankang City and southern Qingzhou, because the main general in charge of these two battlefields has devoted all his energy to escorting grain and fodder. So far, Cao Cao's side does not know who is harassing the rear of the Cao army, but Cao Cao knows that this elite cavalry has no trace, and it is extremely difficult to deal with. At this time, there was no worry about the food and fodder problem of hundreds of thousands of troops stationed in Chibi, because Jingzhou, under the management of Liu Biao's "heavy literature and light martial arts" strategy, the grain reserves were too rich, enough for hundreds of thousands of Cao soldiers to eat and drink for two years. Therefore, from the perspective of food and grass, Cao Cao's side has a reason to occupy Jingzhou, which is also the purpose of Cao Cao's side to deliberately attack Jingzhou. Jingzhou is a big piece of fat. If Cao Cao doesn't occupy it, other local princes will also get involved... This is a tacit thing!

Xun Yu smiled and replied, "King of Wei, please rest assured that the grain and grass base is guarded by your son Cao Zhang..." Although Cao Zhang is young and light, his martial arts skills are superb, and his wisdom and planning ability are also the essence of Cao Cao. He is the leader of the new generation of the Cao family. Cao Zhang is very down-to-earth. He is responsible for taking care of the grain and grass base. Cao's army is relieved.

At this time, Cao Cao's power completely covered dozens of miles around the Red Wall. These areas are all the warning areas of Cao's army. There are many scouts and fine works here. It can be said that a few birds flew over the warning area in a day, and the birds put shit there. Cao Cao knows it well.

As a commander, Cao Cao himself has done so, and Cao's army is even more united. If Sun and Liu's allied forces can defeat the morale of Cao's army, it is estimated that no one can believe it, including the poisoner Jia Xu. Even Guo Jia, a senior super counselor, felt vague. Of course, he was out of the game. Guo Jia, a bystander, knew that Cao Cao was bound to be defeated in the end, but he only relied on his talent - super induction and prediction. He could infer the result, but he didn't know the specific process. Based on his understanding of Cao Cao's march and fighting, Guo Jia was also confused: How on earth can Sun Liu's allied forces defeat the giant Cao army? Most likely: Cao Jun felt that it was of little significance to defeat Sun Liu's allied forces. In order to save resources, he took the initiative to withdraw...

Even if Guo Jia knew that Sun Liu's allied forces wanted to attack Cao's camp at night with the help of Huang Gai, he also thought that Sun and Liu's allied forces had little chance of winning. If the wind changes at this time and the southwest wind blows, after all, it is a hurricane above level 10, and with the fire attack, it is estimated that Sun Liu's allied forces can defeat Cao's army. In addition, it is absolutely impossible. However, it's winter now. Where does the southwest wind come from and above level 10?

Guo Jia also knows that no matter how profound and magical Zhuge Liang's Taoism is, he can't go against the sky and change the wind direction of the season at will. Is it possible that there is also an internal response of Sun Liu's coalition in Cao's army, but as far as he knows, it's impossible. There is no "day time" - a powerful southwest wind; there is no "human and a person" - with the help of super internal response to form a situation of internal and external attacks. Can Sun Liu's allied forces defeat Cao's army?

Guo Jia, who has always been expected, is also confused! His curiosity was stimulated by the current situation: it must be a detail that determines victory or defeat. Just like when Cao Cao and Yuan Shao fought in the Guandu River, Yuan Shao's grain and grass base was burned by the Cao army. It was this detail that determined the final victory or defeat of the Yuan Cao War... Now, what are the details that determine the victory and defeat of Sun Liu's allied forces and Cao's army? What about it?

Cao Cao Cao was naturally happy when he heard Xun Yu mention his son, but he thought of his other two sons fighting for inheritance rights, and his mood suddenly darkened. This kind of problem is not based on Cao Cao's own will, and it's not that he doesn't face it, so it doesn't exist. From this, Cao Cao thought: From ancient times to the present, how many heroes have been dragged down by the disappointing descendants! As a result, the name of a lifetime has been damaged.

When Xun Yu and Jia Xu saw Cao Cao's mixed face change, they knew what was thinking in Cao Cao's mind at that time. In order to shift the focus of Cao Cao's thinking, Xun Yu changed the topic and said, "King of Wei, after Huang Gai, a senior general in Jiangdong, our water army soldiers will be handed over to Huang Gai for training. In this way, the combat effectiveness of our soldiers in the water will definitely be greatly improved..."

Speaking of the matter of the water army, Cao Cao thought of a fact that the Jiangdong Army, which is good at water warfare, has lived on the boat since childhood, especially the descendants of fishermen who make a living by fishing. Their toes are naturally split, which can ensure that they can stand firmly on the shaking boat and that they can borrow the power of the hull. Turn it into your own strength and use it to attack the enemy... This talent ensures that they are better than ordinary soldiers in water warfare!

Thinking of this, Cao Cao smiled at the crowd and said, "At that time, I just want to see that Huang Gai's toes are forked..." Cao Cao's words suddenly made the officials present laugh.

In the laughter, Cao Jun's cohesion increased. Then, the others began to whisper. At this time, Jia Xu also looked at the military map with a smile. When he focused on the boundary of Liangzhou, Cao Cao thought of another important thing: according to Liangzhou's detailed return, Shenweitian General Ma Chao and Ma Mengqi had gathered 100,000 troops. Ma Chao was ready to attack Chang'an in spring, and then coerced Luoyang to try to let Cao Cao release his father Ma Teng back to Liangzhou...

According to Jia Xu, Ma Chao's martial arts skills are not what ordinary super generals can handle. With so many super generals under Cao Cao's command, it is estimated that only one or two are Ma Chao's opponents. Due to this unexpected situation, if it hadn't been for Huang Gai's initiative to surrender, Cao Jun would have taken the initiative to withdraw from the army at most in the Chibi Ferry until spring...

Of course, as the chief counselor of the former Xiliang Legion, Jia Xu also planned for Cao Cao Cao to deal with the rebellion of Ma Chao: Jia Xu suggested that Cao Cao be promoted to another gate valve in Liangzhou, Han Sui, and then let Han Sui lead the army to deal with Ma Chao. Later, Cao Cao sat on the mountain and watched the tiger fight. When necessary, he and Han Suiyi Fang Jia attacked Ma Chao... According to Jia Xu, although Han Sui had a good relationship with Ma Teng, because of the beautiful Concubine and Xiang Concubine, Han Sui began to be at odds with Ma Teng. Especially at the beginning, the two joined hands to attack Chang'an. As a result, they were caught by Li Wei and Guo Wei, the leader of the Xiliang Legion at that time, which made Han Sui and Ma Teng's allied forces. Returned after defeat. In this battle, Han Sui's troops were almost completely destroyed. That is, after this battle, Han Sui began to be dissatisfied with Ma Teng... Jia Xu knows these changes very well.

At that time, Cao Cao adopted Jia Xu's suggestion without thinking. Then he sent an envoy to Liangzhou to meet Han Sui secretly. Now, as long as you defeat Sun Liu's allied forces and then disintegrate Ma Chao's offensive, Cao Cao can basically control the situation in the world.

Throughout the ages, how many men can coincide with the good luck and complete the great achievements of unifying the world? There are only a few. And Cao Cao is about to become one of the few figures, famous in history... Thinking of the realization of the ultimate goal, Cao Cao began to be intoxicated in YY. How many people can enjoy such fun and happiness at home and abroad?

Most of these heroes have also encountered such historical opportunities, but at the critical moment, there are many halberd. Can Cao Cao finally do it? Can Cao Cao escape from such a fate? Can Cao Cao be reborn in the bath of fire?
