Zhuge Liang raised his head and said softly, as if he had only come back to his senses now. 1 The 110,000-strong army was quickly eaten by Liu Jia'er. Although the 30,000 troops sent later were recruits without combat effectiveness, it turned out that the 80,000 troops were also battle-hardened troops. Why is it so unbeatable? I was really careless. I thought Junyi could hold on for half a year based on the city and the vast territory. Why¡ª¡ª"
Cheng Yu said: "This is not your fault, King Wei. It is only my fault that Liu Jia'er took advantage of our opportunity to rest and came out to kill us, leaving us helpless."
Cao Cao waved his hand gently and said with a smile: "No matter what, I still didn't plan everything well, so this kid got his success all at once."
Seeing Cao Cao's demeanor, several people felt relieved and laughed together.
Cao Cao took a sip of wine. He wiped his mouth freely and said: "Now Liu Jia'er has deployed more than 240,000 troops in Longxian City, Qingshui City, and Lueyang City. Should our 320,000-strong army wait for them to attack in Chang'an or take the initiative to attack?" In the past, did you compete with them for Longxian City and Guangwei County? By the way, don't forget that Jun Yi still has tens of thousands of soldiers trained and selected by Pang Tong and Yu Jin. In a few months, there will be 50,000 or 60,000 elite soldiers. And the three of us The combat effectiveness of the 120,000 troops is not very reassuring. One-third of the soldiers have never been on the battlefield, and the training time is very short."
Several people looked solemn and didn't know what to say. Attack and seize the city? The odds are too slim. It was too embarrassing to wait like this in Chang'an City. Who knew that Liu Jia and the others would arrive in the Year of the Monkey or the Moon of the Horse? More than 300,000 people and horses would just wait like this. Food and grass was also a big problem. Although consuming food and grass is something that both parties have to do, the limited food and grass are consumed in endless waiting. It's really not a good thing.
Xun Yu said: "Whether it is to wait in Chang'an City or to attack directly in Long County, it is not a good idea. Yi Yu's suggestion is to try to force Liu Jia's army to leave Long County and fight with our army between Chang'an and Long County. .¡±
Cao Cao nodded, but quickly shook his head. I don¡¯t know why he nodded or shook his head.
At this time, Sima Yi, who had just consulted on the military plan, said: "Wen Ruo's words are not the best plan. Even if our Yin* succeeds, we are not completely sure of defeating them. According to Yi, we should deploy our troops more lightly in the front and in the rear. Chang'an has left a small number of troops stationed near our place to work in the fields. The whole strategy is to focus on prevention. We will recuperate and defend at the same time."
At this time, Cao Cao's eyes flashed. He was about to express his stance, but immediately held back. He asked in a calm tone: "Zhongda's plan is good, but not long after our army was defeated, and not long after I was promoted to the position of King of Wei, it seems unreasonable to give up just to protect myself. Besides, more than 300,000 troops left the capital, The world is shaken. If we continue without fighting, it will be difficult to block the mouth of the world's pure water."
Sima Yi was stunned for a moment and said nothing more.
Jia Xu took the words and said: "In Xu's opinion, both Wen Ruo's and Zhong Da's words have merit, but Wen Ruo's strategy is too forward and Zhongda's strategy is too backward. We can put Wen Ruo's strategy into perspective. Move back and lean Zhongda forward."
When Cao Cao heard this, he immediately understood what Jia Xu meant. No matter what the others were still thinking about, he nodded with a smile and said: "This is a good strategy, no delay, no hurry. Let's settle it, Chang'an." We still need to tighten our defense, I want to fight Liu Jia'er here. Haha"
Xun Yu quickly said: "The idea of ??King Wei can be said to be feasible, but it can also be said to be not feasible. Especially the idea of ????deciding to fight Liu Jia'er in Chang'an City is determined to be out."
Cao Cao was startled and asked quickly: "Oh, why can't Liu Jia's son be raped under Chang'an City and use the city to kill him?" Others looked at Xun Yu in confusion.
Xun Yu said: "I wonder if King Wei remembers what happened to Liu Jia's son in Jiangyou Town and Shangyong City."
Cao Cao blurted out: "Sky thunder? Oh, no**?" After saying that, his expression suddenly changed.
Xun Yu nodded and said: "Yes, according to our detailed report, Liu Jia's Ma Di has produced more than 3,000 kilograms of gunpowder. In Shangyong, they only used a few hundred kilograms of gunpowder to blow up a whole city. They are strong, and if we confront them with the city, we may make the same mistake again."
Several people began to think again, and their faces turned pale almost at the same time. Xun You babbled: "If the city cannot be defended, can we only fight them one on one?"
