Chapter 615 Cao Yuan Battle Situation
Xi Zhong shook his head slightly: "No, Liu He not only needs to be eliminated, but the faster the better. This person has a sense of knowledge, courage, mind and extraordinary everything. If his term of office continues, within three or five years, the northern prefectures and counties will have no place to keep their lords, and only one way to surrender. Now that he is killed, there is still hope, otherwise the world will belong to him, and I am afraid there will be no suspense."
"Then aren't you contradicting yourself?" Xiahou Yuan shouted bluntly.
"Hey, Miaocai, don't interrupt Zhicai." Cao Cao said, and although Xiahou Yuan was unwilling to accept it, he had to retreat.
Xi Zhong paused and continued to explain: "Our army showed Yuan Shu as weak, but against Liu He."
Cao Cao raised his eyebrows and said, "How about the opposite?"
"After capturing Luoyang, Liu He will personally lead a large army to take over. At that time, the barracks and guards stationed outside the city, and soldiers lined up on the city walls, and the city was in order. After the ambushing Liu He, Cheng Liang, Zhu Ye and others may be reckless, while Zhang Yong, Gao Shun and others will definitely think that Luoyang City has a tight defense and is difficult to capture, so they retreat to Henei and slowly plan. If this can be done, our army will sometimes digest Yuan Shu and Yuzhou troops one by one. Otherwise, based on our current strength alone, it will definitely be difficult to resist the strong attack of Bingzhou army."
Cao Cao nodded unconsciously: "What Zhicai said is so much. Therefore, our army must not fight against Yuan Shu, otherwise both sides will suffer losses and not have one ten strength. Liu He and others will definitely regard us as nothing and vulnerable. Therefore, as soon as Liu He died, Guan Yu and others will lead their troops to attack. By then, he will surround hundreds of thousands of troops, and I am afraid that we will be unable to fly if we have wings."
"The lord is clear about it, and it is precisely so that he can quickly annihilate Yuan Shu at a very small price. This can also show him that our army has good combat power and is also a link to show strength."
"In addition, this matter must be started immediately. Wenhe and his lord made a decision. After the Yellow River flood, Liu He must have shortage of food. Now he fought with Yuan Shao many times and consumed a lot. Even if he got the granary in Jizhou, I would not be able to hold on for too long. So at this moment, he launched a plan to occupy Luoyang and kill Liu He. Even if Guan Yu and others were impulsive and tried to attack our army, the food and grass in the rear were not sufficient, and our army had a chance of winning. If it was delayed, we would not have such an advantage. And after victory, we would not have to go to Jinyang to send good news immediately. We could delay for three or four days. After our army surrendered Yuan Shu's troops and arranged the city properly, we would have a three-point chance of winning."
"So that's the case. I understand, I understand." Xiahou Yuan suddenly realized.
Cao Cao asked, "With Zhicai's view, how to capture Luoyang is the fastest way?"
Xi Zhong said without hesitation: "As the lord said, Yuan Shu is now arrogant and does not take our army seriously at all. He must be eager to destroy our army, and to occupy the two prefectures of Yu and Yan, plus Luoyang City, and his strength will increase greatly. He will fight Liu He to fight for the world. Our army can take advantage of this mentality..."
On this day, Liu He was training troops in the military camp.
Since the war in Jizhou, the army has been expanded. Now, in its own army, there are 30,000 Hanwu soldiers, 30,000 Zhang Yong's Golden Knife Camp, 20,000 Ye Xiang's Shenji Camp, 20,000 Guan Yu's purple gold dragon cavalry, 10,000 Zhao Yun's flying feather cavalry, 500 Zhu Ye's Thunder God Cavalry, and 100 Cheng Liang's God Tiger Cavalry. In addition, the rest are ordinary troops. Although they are still elite, they are still far from those strong troops.
But his financial resources are limited after all, and he can't afford to support too many soldiers such as the Han Wuzhe. These troops, weapons, armor, and even food expenses are much higher than ordinary troops. Just these tens of thousands of elite and powerful special troops will consume more than one billion yuan in a year and millions of food and grass. If they expand the scale, they may be bankrupt.
Therefore, the only way to continue to improve combat power is to train the remaining hundreds of thousands of ordinary soldiers, after all, they are the majority of their troops.
He was practicing, and two pigeons flew over and landed on the ground not far from Liu He.
"Oh? There are actually two letters from Fei Ge. Could it be that there is news in Luoyang?
Liu He didn't care too much about Guan Yu and the others' news, but because the result was already very obvious. Even if there was no news, he could guess it himself. In contrast, he was more eager to know the movements of Yuan Shu and Cao Cao in Luoyang.
He opened the two letters separately. The letter from Jizhou was indeed as expected. Guan Yu and others had already settled all the cities in Jizhou and the announcement that the court had exempted tax for one year was also posted. Now everyone is happy. Occasionally, a few people who bullyed others by power were also handled by Guan Yu and others. Soon, the people of Jizhou applauded the court.
As for Luoyang's letter, Liu He frowned.
"Go away, go home."
Liu He handed over the training matter to others, rode his BMW named Bai Yu Qianli Zhui and rushed back to the General's Mansion.
When Xun Yu and others saw him coming back in a hurry, they asked: "Lord, what happened?"
Liu He handed the letter to Cui Jun: "You can take a look."
The three of them got together, and after watching it, their faces changed.
"I just said not long ago that there was no big battle in Luoyang, but I didn't expect the fight to begin?"
Liu He said in a deep voice: "I knew that since Cao Cao had reached this point, how could he sit idly and act without action?"
Cui Jun pondered: "It seems that within a few months, he deliberately showed weakness to Yuan Shu, making Yuan Shu careless in order to kill him with one blow today."
"It must be so undoubtedly." Xun You also said, "He deliberately attacked Luoyang, pretended to be defeated, and pretended to evacuate from Hulao Pass. How could Yuan Shu not pursue him with such a heart?"
Cui Jun looked disdainful: "As such an obvious ambush, it's just a fool like Yuan Shu. It's a pity that his tens of thousands of troops were almost wiped out overnight, and most of his troops surrendered to Cao Cao. If Ji Ling hadn't led his personal guards to break through the siege, Yuan Shu would have been following his brother underground now."
Xun Yu looked at the letter repeatedly: "It's not just that. Cao Cao launched an offensive at this time, except for Yuan Shu, I'm afraid he has other plans."
Liu He looked at him: "Wen Ruo means? Did he come for me?"
Xun Yu nodded with certainty: "The lord has mentioned to his subordinates more than once that Cao Cao is very ambitious and open-minded, and is far from being able to compare with the two Yuan, Gongsun Zan, Liu Biao and others. The lord also believes that from the Luoyang Rebellion to the Yellow River floods, all of them were behind the scenes of this person, and even Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu are just this person's flag."
Liu He solemnly said: "Well, I am very sure about this."
"That's it." Xun Yu did not investigate why Liu He was able to know such a secret, but instead continued to talk about the matter directly.
"A person who acts so ruthlessly, has such a careful calculation, and has such a long-term vision, has tried his best to keep a low profile. Is it just for a mere Luoyang city?"
"You thought so too," said Uncle Clan."
Xun You took over the conversation and said, "In Luoyang City, 70% of the people have been moved away by our army, and there are still many people who fled out of the city due to the war for many months. Now Luoyang is said to be an empty city, which is not far from the same. If there is still the prosperity of the past and the emperor is in charge, it would be reasonable to have such effort to capture it. It is nothing more than to threaten the emperor to order the princes. But is an empty city worth his efforts?"
Liu He was nervous when they said it: "If he came for me, what kind of trap will there be?"
To be honest, there are so many heroes in the Three Kingdoms in history, but there are very few people who can still be nervous when facing the enemy. And this Wei Wudi Emperor Cao, who was originally in history, is obviously one of the top ones.
When I learned from the system that Cao Cao and Jia Xu had arranged this series of strategies, although I finally broke them secretly for myself, Xun Yu and others, what if I didn’t have this prompt from the system? Then there is no doubt that I would fall into their plan and fight Yuan Shu to the end in the end. In the end, Cao Cao would definitely be favored. Even if I don’t destroy it, I would have to lose my troops and generals and lose my strength. In the future, not only would I not be able to take revenge, but I would also have to face Yuan Shao’s crazy attack. It’s really life and death.
