Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    As the New Year approaches, Xu Capital City is a little less festive than in previous years. On the contrary, there are many troops and horses moving inside and outside the city. Even ordinary people can detect the frequent movements of the imperial army and horses.

    Cao Cao's intention to conquer Qingzhou was not kept secret. Perhaps Cao Cao did this because he wanted to put more pressure on Zhou Yu before the war. In Cao Cao's view, now that he had obtained Jingxiang's wealth, silk and food, Qingzhou could be easily captured.  , Zhou Yu stubbornly resisted, how could he get any benefits?

    Perhaps Jiangdong could take advantage of the situation when the Central Plains troops were surrounded by enemies on all sides and win a small victory. However, the gap in strength between the two families was as big as clouds and mud. If he had to fight against Jingxiang, Cao Cao might still have a little headache, but for Jiangdong  Cao Cao has always looked down upon weak people.

    If Jiangdong relied on the natural dangers of the Yangtze River to block the river for defense as he had done a few years ago, Cao Cao would never have thought of attacking him rashly. But when the navy arrived on the ground, in Cao Cao's view, they were no different from civilians. Qingzhou Jiangdong's army and horses,  It only costs 50,000 to blow the sky. Even if these 50,000 "civilians" rely on the strong city, how long can they defend Qingzhou?

    Although Guo Jia and Jia Xu repeatedly persuaded Cao Cao not to underestimate the enemy, Cao Cao still felt that these two counselors were making a fuss. Zhou Yu was indeed talented, but if he didn't have decent bargaining chips, how could he resist the imperial army?

    After Guo Jia borrowed money and food from Jingxiang, Cao Cao ordered the generals of the clan to train diligently, and used the remaining money and silk to lean towards the Hubao Cavalry. In the previous battle in Runan, although Pang Shanmin's men were dispersed, the Hubao Cavalry was defeated.  The general was killed on horseback, and more than half of his soldiers were killed. Cao Cao was also quite distressed that this powerful army suffered such an ending.

    So after Xiahou Dun recovered from his injury, Cao Cao appointed this man as the head coach of the Hu and Pao Cavalry. In order to revive the reputation of the Hu and Pao Cavalry, and to attack Qingzhou, Cao Cao resolutely decided to let the Hu and Pao Cavalry enter Qingzhou first, so that Zhou Yu could see what it meant.  It would be the best if Zhou Yu is willing to retreat despite the difficulties!

    Cao Cao also did not want the Pangshan people in Jingxiang to continue to be like this.  Getting bigger day by day.

    Everything was busy, and the New Year was not enjoyable. Cao Cao and the generals in the prime minister's office often traveled between the court and the military camp, and were in the prime minister's office.  Then Cao Cao also said to all the generals: Today is the world.  There are only three forces left. Whichever one is slack will be defeated.

    All the ministers knew that Cao Cao was not referring to the current affairs in Qingzhou.  But the development of Jingxiang Shuzi has made the prime minister feel deeply afraid.

    Just after the New Year, Cao Cao's generals came to the Prime Minister's Mansion to discuss matters. Everyone knew that Cao Cao may have reached the end of his patience with Zhou Yu in the past few months.  Cao Cao also hoped that Zhou Yu would understand something after that. Since it was difficult to resist the anger of the Prime Minister, he would just go back along the waterway. But now Zhou Yu is motionless and has paid careful attention. Qingzhou's Jiangdong army and horses have been moving frequently in recent days.  And Xuzhou Cheng Yu has already captured most of the troops in the territory.  Gather at the border between the two states in case Zhou Yu suddenly attacks!

    In the Prime Minister's Hall, Cao Cao had a gloomy look on his face. He looked around at the generals in the hall and slowly said, "Now that Fengxiao has raised money and food from Jingxiang. All of them are in place. Cao Cao wants to raise an army of 150,000 to attack Qingzhou!"

    "One hundred and fifty thousand?" Xun Yu's eyes widened when he heard this.  He said to Cao Cao: "Didn't the Prime Minister say before that if one hundred thousand troops and horses enter Qingzhou, they will be invincible?"

    "Cao gave Zhou Lang a chance, but it was a pity that Zhou Lang was arrogant and thought that a small victory would improve the morale of the army and he would be able to stop my imperial army. Cao should use all his troops and Yanzhou troops to attack Qingzhou."  Let Zhou Yu know how angry Cao is!" Cao Cao said in a deep voice: "In Cao's opinion, adding 50,000 troops and gaining an early victory is a good deal!"

    Hearing this, Guo Jia nodded secretly.

    Cao Cao¡¯s decision makes perfect sense. If Qingzhou can win quickly, it will be of great significance to Cao Cao.

    The 150,000-strong army marched on an expedition to Qingzhou. Although it consumed countless amounts of food and fodder along the way, it was able to demonstrate the current military strength of the Central Plains and persuade the Pangshan people who were dormant in Jingxiang to surrender. During the three years that Cao Cao had agreed to meet with the Pangshan people, there were many major issues that he had to deal with.  , so the sooner Qingzhou is pacified, the more beneficial it will be to Cao Cao.

    Seeing that Xun Yu wanted to persuade him again, Guo Jia coughed lightly, stepped forward and said to Cao Cao: "The Prime Minister's idea seems to be very appropriate for Guo!"

    "What?" Hearing this, Xun Yu frowned and said to Guo Jiaqi: "Feng Xiao, have you forgotten that most of the money and food for the expedition were raised from Jingxiang, and the money and food borrowed by the Prime Minister must be repaid! And now the construction of Ye City,  A lot of money and food have been spent, could it be that Fengxiao is planning to fall out with Jing Xiang because of this money and food matter?"

    "Wen Ruo is very careful with his calculations" Guo Jia smiled slightly when he heard this and said to Xun Yu: "In normal times, what Wen Ruo said is very reasonable, but for the current situation in Qingzhou, Wen Ruo's plan is more than safe but not aggressive enough.  "

    Seeing that Xun Yu was about to say more, Guo Jialang laughed and said: "Wen Ruo, according to Guo, a hundred thousand troops conquering Qingzhou will expel Zhou Yu, at least for three months!"

    "The army of 150,000 can beWill the situation in Qingzhou be determined within a few months?  Xun Yu was suddenly enlightened, and saw Guo Jia shaking his head and smiling: "The more troops and horses there are, the slower the march will be. How did Wen Ruo calculate this account?"  "

    "Then we should use one hundred thousand troops and horses to conquer Qingzhou!"

    After Xun Yu finished speaking, Guo Jia smiled again and said to Xun Yu: "Wen Ruo only knows one thing, but not the other. This time to conquer Qingzhou, it is not difficult for the prime minister. These 150,000 troops and horses, except for conquering Qingzhou,  In addition, it is also to scare Jing Xiang! In Guo¡¯s eyes, this Jiangdong is just a mere ringworm and scabies disease, while Jing Xiang should be the prime minister and a serious problem!"

    "Then just pretend to have 200,000 troops and horses, don't waste money and food!" Xun Yu insisted on what he had seen, but after Xun Yu said this, Guo Jia and Cao Cao looked at each other and laughed.

    Seeing the attitude of the two of them, Xun Yu was puzzled. However, he heard Jia Xu sigh softly and said to Xun Yu: "Wen Ruo has never gone to Runan with us before. I didn't know that Jing Xiang was so meticulous, so he made such a decision."  , I can¡¯t blame you"

    Xun Yu was still confused, but he heard Jia Xu sighing: "Wherever there are shops in Jingxiang, there are many craftsmen mixed in them. How many soldiers and horses our army has sent out, how can the people of Pangshan not know? If they falsely claim to be soldiers and horses, how can they still be there?"  It's better to repay the truth, otherwise it will spread to the ears of Pangshan people, and they will have the opportunity to make a big fuss over this matter!"

    "What kind of article can I make? It's nothing more than pretending that there are many troops. The soldiers never tire of deception. This has happened in ancient and modern times!"  The three-year agreement was made only by the Prime Minister bearing humiliation and humiliation before reaching an agreement with Jing Xiang. We must not ruin the Prime Minister's important affairs for petty gains!"

    After Guo Jia finished speaking, Cao Cao nodded with relief and said to Xun Yu: "Wen Ruo, Cao also has difficulties. I hope Wen Ruo can understand more!"

    When Xun Yu heard this, he was frightened. He bowed and said to Cao Cao: "Now that we know the prime minister's difficulties, Xun Yu will definitely take care of the food and fodder for the 150,000 troops and take care of them properly!"

    150,000 troops marched together in Yanzhou. This was the first time Cao Cao used so many troops after Guandu. All the generals in Cao Cao's camp were like sharks smelling the smell of blood, ready to move, and they repeatedly asked for battle in front of Cao Cao.

    When Cao Cao saw all the generals, they were eager to achieve success and secretly delighted. Liu Bei had previously captured two passes in a row, and had failed in Runan and Qingzhou, but the morale of the army was not declining.

    Cao Cao only thought for a moment and then said to the general: "This vanguard position should be handed over to Yuan Rang! Cao wants to revive the reputation of the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry. I don't know what you think?"

    Xiahou Dun was a general in the army. Naturally, no one dared to raise objections to Cao Cao's arrangement. But just as Cao Cao was about to say more, he saw a strong military general bowing down in front of the hall and said to Cao Cao: "Qingzhou is so vast that it is difficult for us to lead the way.  So majestic, I also hope that the Prime Minister will appoint more troops and horses to be the vanguard!"

    Cao Cao saw that the general who bowed down before his eyes was Le Jin. After thinking about it for a moment, he understood why Le Jin was doing this.

    It seems that Wen Qian is still worried about the defeat of Qingzhou. If he does not agree to his request, it will also chill the general's heart. Thinking of this, Cao Cao laughed loudly and said: "In this case, Cao will also give Wen Qian a hard time."  Riding, I hope that after Wen Qian enters Qingzhou, he will be invincible and take revenge!"

    Hearing this, Le Jin was overjoyed and hurriedly clasped his fists in a salute and said to Cao Cao: "Prime Minister, don't worry, Le Jin will be careful this time and will not let Zhou Yu take any advantage!"

    Le Jin had just finished speaking when he heard a general say again: "Prime Minister, when it comes to commanding fine cavalry, who can compare with me? The Prime Minister should add another vanguard, so that I can make great achievements!"

    Everyone in the hall followed the reputation and the person who spoke was none other than Cao Cao's relative Xiahou Yuan. When Xiahou Dun heard that his younger brother asked for a fight, he also advised Cao Cao: "Prime Minister, the vanguard can be given to the 'Swift General'!"

    Cao Cao nodded when he heard this. Xia Houyuan's request was not too much. Xia Houyuan performed outstandingly in the Guandu battle. Now that he is entrusted with an important task, everyone should be careful to accept it. Thinking of this, Cao Cao smiled at the generals and said: "Cao Cao  I personally conquered these 150,000 troops and horses, and you all want to divide them up, but you are not polite to Cao at all!"

    Hearing Cao Cao¡¯s ridicule, Xia Houyuan¡¯s face turned red and he said, ¡°I will not be polite to the Prime Minister if I share his worries!¡±

    "Well said!" Cao Cao heard this, nodded and smiled: "In that case, Miaocai also led five thousand cavalry to be the vanguard of our army. Qingzhou is our land in the Central Plains, far away from Jiangdong, and our army of 150,000, three  If we advance on the road, Zhou Yu will definitely lose sight of one thing and lose another, and he will suffer a huge defeat!"

    When the generals heard Cao Cao's words, they were excited. They heard Cao Cao say again: "Cao ordered the central army to march personally. He was filial, civilized and harmonious. I left the left and right armies to you two. Can you do the job?"

    "Prime Minister, you can rest assured!" When Jia Xu heard this, he nodded and said, "Zhou Yu was lucky enough to win the last battle in Qingzhou, and he has been favored by God. Now that the Prime Minister is personally fighting, how can Zhou Yu not retreat?"

      Hearing this, Guo Jia also nodded and said to Cao Cao: "Even if Zhou Yu wants to fight to the death, Guo will not ask him to get the slightest benefit! Guo was careless before, and he will definitely do it again this time.  Avenge your shame!¡±
