Chapter 445 Guo Jia's plan, exchange the south for the north!
It is undoubtedly a dream to destroy Yuan Shu in half a year.
Although Cao Cao's battle against Yuan Shu was very smooth in the early stage, the more difficult it became. Because in the early stage, Yuan Shu's troops were very scattered. In addition, Cao Cao took advantage of the Qin navy and caught Yuan Shu off guard. It was precisely because of these many reasons that the battle was so smooth.
However, the more you fight, the harder it is to fight. Now Yuan Shu has concentrated his troops in the dozen cities around Shouchun.
It can be said that every city wall around Shouchun is now a hard bone that can tear off teeth.
Yuan Shu could not beat Cao Cao. The reason why he preserved his strength and hid in Shouchun City was that his purpose was to wait until his brother had finished dealing with Gongsun Zan, and then the two brothers came to fight Cao Cao together.
"I'm afraid I can't defeat Yuan Shu for half a year, and it's hard to fall down to Shouchun," Cao Cao hesitated.
After Cao Cao replied, Guo Jia continued to ask: "Lord, do you know if we can't beat Yuan Shu and cannot defeat Shouchun within half a year, what will happen in the world?"
When Guo Jia asked this question, Cao Cao thought to himself, "I'm filial piety, when is it time? You're still keeping it."
"That's just to be filial and speak frankly." Cao Cao said.
"King of Wei, then it will be Yuan Shu, and the Yuan Shao brothers will work together to attack us. The next target of the King of Qin will definitely be the south. Not only will we and the King of Qin fall in love with the same prey, but the King of Qin will even seize food from us."
"If the Qin King attacked the territory of Yuan Shu we captured, can we defend it?"
"King of Wei, the situation in the world can only be three points, but not four points. The world can be three points, two strong and one weak, the weak and strong unite, and the strongest side resists the strongest."
"It is impossible to say that Zhuge Kongming's name is worthy of his name. Liu Bei's entry into Xichuan was equivalent to deciding the weakest position in the world."
"There is no doubt that King Qin Li Chen is the strongest now. In this way, you and Yuan Shao are competing for the last place."
Guo Jiakai talked about it and analyzed the situation in the world very thoroughly.
This world needs three points to be stable. The weak and strong unite to resist the strongest, so that the world can be stable. Otherwise, the world will be afraid of disturbing each other. I don’t know how many years it takes to fight without any result.
Who is Cao Cao? This is the best-ranked hero in the world. He savored Guo Jia's words carefully and really felt that what Guo Jia said was reasonable.
Cao Cao thought at this moment, what could Liu Bei do if he got Zhuge Liang? He could only become the weakest one in the world. I have a filial piety, but I can become the second strongest one.
After Li Chen unified Jiangdong, both the navy and the army were the strongest in the world. This is no longer controversial. As long as Cao Cao defeated Yuan Shao, he could form an alliance with Liu Bei and the two could fight against Li Chen together.
"The words of Fengxiao are justified, and the lonely king should listen to what Fengxiao said." Cao Cao said to Guo Jia.
The biggest advantage of Cao Cao is that he is good at listening to others and listens to Guo Jia the most. This is also the reason why Cao Cao can accomplish his great things.
"King of Wei, before we defeat Yuan Shao, we still have to form an alliance with Li Chen. With the Qin army as an alliance, we will give Yuan Shu to the Qin army to fight, and we will turn to attack Yuan Shao."
"We will take the north of the Yangtze River and Huaihe River and let Li Chen take the south of the Yangtze River and Huaihe River. As long as we take Yuan Shao's land, we may not be afraid of him Li Chen in the future."
"King of Wei, look, if this plan is achieved, although Li Chen occupied most of the world, it also has a disadvantage." Guo Jia pointed to the map and said.
Cao Cao also looked at the map. If he had assigned Yuan Shu's territory to Li Chen, Li Chen would have really occupied most of the world. However, Cao Cao soon discovered the disadvantages that Guo Jia said.
"horse!"
"The Qin army has no horses?" Cao Cao's eyes lit up and he said to Guo Jia.
If this is the case, Li Chen will occupy the southeast, which are indeed good places. It can be said that Li Chen will occupy the good places in the Yangtze River, the Yellow River, and the Huaihe River Basin. However, although Li Chen's places are rich, they cannot raise horses by relying on water.
If Cao Cao defeated Yuan Shao, it would be equivalent to occupying the entire north. If Ma Teng, who had nominally defected to Cao Cao, the two places where horse-producing horses were produced in Liangzhou and Youzhou were in Cao Cao's hands.
What are the most important things in this war? What are the soldiers, food, generals, and counselors? And among this army, you have to have more than just soldiers!
In ancient times, almost all the emperors who dominated the world from the north to the south, and only one Zhu Yuanzhang dominated the world from the south to the north.
It is easy to fight from north to south, but from south to north to south, because the combat effectiveness of ancient cavalry was too strong. If horses were not produced in the south, it was impossible to establish powerful troops.
"Okay, the Gu Wang will listen to what Fengxiao said. Let's give Yuan Shu to Li Chen and we will go and fight Yuan Shao."
"When Xiao thought, who should I send to continue the alliance with the King of Qin?" Cao Cao said to Guo Jia.
After thinking for a while, Guo Jia suggested to Cao Cao: "Chief Chen Qun can speak eloquently, but can be an envoy."
"Okay, then send Chen Qun!" Cao Cao nodded.
Liu Bei was able to abandon Zhuo County and Beihai County, which he had obtained, and headed to Bashu for a new start. How could Cao Cao not abandon the Huainan area that had been captured?
The south was exchanged for the north, Li Chen was in power, and Cao Cao was in power. Only in this way could he compete with Li Chen for the world.
After listening to Guo Jia's suggestion, Cao Cao immediately sent the chief secretary Chen Qun to Jinling to continue the alliance with Li Chen.
It is said that it is a continuation of alliances, but in fact it is just Qin and Wei who divides the territory of the Yuan brothers. Cao Cao takes Yuan Shao and asks Li Chen to take Yuan Shu.
In this way, everyone has something to do, so there will be no conflict between Qin and Wei for the time being.
Qin, Jinling.
Although Li Chen has not officially moved the capital to Jinling, this Jinling has already vaguely become like a Qindu.
After Chen Qun came to Jinling, he couldn't help but admire Li Chen. In just a few years, Li Chen has developed into the number one prince in the world from a team of thousands of bandits.
This is really a blessing!
After Chen Qun arrived in Jinling, he immediately submitted the document Cao Cao had given Li Chen without any delay.
After understanding Chen Qun's purpose, the civil officials and military generals on Li Chen also exploded the country one by one.
These generals naturally want to fight. The promotion channel for military generals is military merits. Where can I get the military merits if I don’t fight?
The navy generals believed that Yuan Shu should be attacked because Yuan Shu's navy was the main force. The army generals believed that Cao Cao could not lead him by the nose. If they wanted to attack Yuan Shao, we wouldn't let them fight, so we could just attack Yuan Shao. Because when they attack Yuan Shao, the army was the main force.
