Rebirth of the God of War Lu Bu
Chapter 1374: Cao Cao sends troops
However, Cao Cao had the intention to attack Jingzhou, which gave Jingzhou's aristocratic families more thoughts. Although Liu Bei won people's hearts in Jingzhou, he has now captured the land of Yizhou. Compared with Cao Cao, he is still far behind.
Just when Lu Bu led his troops into Jizhou, Cao Cao took Cao Ren as the vanguard of the army and led 5,000 troops to Runan County, Jingzhou, and Jiangdong. The situation in Jiangdong caused quite a shock due to the mobilization of Cao's army.
After Cao Ren entered Runan County, he was not in a hurry to invade Nanyang. Instead, he built siege equipment in Runan County. Under the leadership of Lu Bu, the Pili chariots achieved great development under the rule of the princes, and the princes were very interested in Pili chariots and beds.
We attach great importance to sharp weapons such as crossbows. On the battlefield, whoever can gain an advantage in these weapons will have a greater chance of winning the war.
After Cao Ren's actions in Runan County were reported to Nanyang County, Guan Yu mobilized troops and horses and began to prepare for defense. The scouts also closely inquired about news about Runan.
Jiangdong, after Sun Ce returned to Jiangdong after the previous failure at Huguan, and took action to pacify some restless families, no one dared to disobey Sun Ce's orders. The most powerful force in the Jiangdong Army was the navy, and the navy was the most powerful force in the Jiangdong Army.
Relying on.
"Gong Jin, now Lu Bu is leading an army to attack Yuan Shao, but Cao Cao is returning his troops at such a critical moment. I wonder what his purpose is?" Sun Ce asked doubtfully.
Zhou Yu smiled and said: "My lord, how could Cao Cao sit back and watch Liu Bei become powerful? There is a huge hatred between the two. Cao Cao captured Xuzhou from Liu Bei's hands. Although they were temporarily united in one place before, it was because they were in charge
Liu Biao is the one who controls Jingzhou. Now that Liu Biao is gone and Liu Qi is incompetent, the actual controller of Jingzhou is Liu Bei. Although Cao Cao has Yanzhou, Yuzhou and Xuzhou under his rule, Xuzhou is unstable. If Jingzhou can be captured, it will definitely be more powerful.
It is powerful. Jingzhou is a prosperous place with many people. Cao Cao must have secretly contacted Lu Bu. Otherwise, how could Lu Bu lead an army to Jizhou so easily."
"As expected, Yuan Shao will not last long." Zhou Yu said.
Sun Ce was shocked, and immediately thought of Yuan Shao's record against Lu Bu over the years. The force represented by Yuan Shao has always been extremely powerful in Sun Ce's eyes. After all, the name of the Yuan family is there.
"Gong Jin, if Cao Cao takes Jingzhou, Jiangdong will be even more passive." Sun Ce said.
Zhou Yu said: "Cao Cao's capture of Jingzhou is also an opportunity for our army. My lord can secretly gather troops and horses. If Cao Cao leads the army to attack Jingzhou, it will be an opportunity for Jiangdong to capture Jingzhou."
A flash of light flashed in Sun Ce's eyes, and he laughed and said: "With Gong Jin by his side, why worry about not being able to capture Jingzhou, but this time Liu Da'er gained Yizhou and lost Jingzhou." Between words, Sun Ce was convinced that Liu Bei could defend it.
Jingzhou has no trust at all. Both Cao's army and Jiangdong's army have a proud record against the Jingzhou army, and Liu Bei is a person who has been defeated repeatedly in battles in the eyes of the princes.
"My lord, you should not underestimate Liu Bei, especially his military advisor Zhuge Liang, who is a man of great talent. Lu Bu occupied Ba County, but he captured the main city from Jingzhou to Yizhou," Zhou Yu reminded.
Sun Ce nodded slightly.
Cao Cao's attack on Jingzhou was not only to expand his territory, but also to train his troops. He directly dispatched one hundred thousand troops. Among these one hundred thousand troops, 70% were soldiers who had recently joined the army, perhaps under Lu Bu.
Stimulated by Cao Cao's rule, the number of the army under Cao Cao has now reached an astonishing 150,000. Unlike the army under Lu Bu, ordinary soldiers in the army do not receive military pay. Except for the army under Lu Bu, other princes
This is true in all the military.
Jingzhou was the process by which Cao Cao transformed an army of 100,000 into elite soldiers. Among them were not only tiger and leopard cavalry, but also heavy armored cavalry and heavy infantry. The war made the princes realize the huge role of an elite army on the battlefield.
In order to build these elites, Cao Cao paid a high price.
All soldiers who can join the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, heavy cavalry and heavy infantry are the most elite soldiers in the army. They enjoy treatment that is the envy of other soldiers in the army, and their training is also extremely strict.
A hundred thousand troops came towards Nanyang County. Wherever they went, officials from various cities looked down. Both Liu Bei and Cao Cao were Han Chinese, and Cao Cao showed greater strength. What worried these officials the most was Cao Cao's
Means, when Cao Cao attacked Xuzhou, it could be said that there were corpses everywhere and rivers of blood. They were worried that after resisting, they would get crazy revenge from Cao's army.
Cao Ren led five thousand soldiers and horses, and kept inquiring about news on the battlefield along the way. Scouts were all over the battlefield. The scouts of Jingzhou Army and the scouts of Cao Army began a desperate battle. With the horses from Bingzhou, the strength of the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry increased.
Quite a few, against the Jingzhou Army scouts, they were naturally overwhelming.
In Wancheng, Guan Yu frowned after receiving the news from the front. The enemy's cavalry was too strong and it was difficult for the scouts to find out much about the situation on the battlefield.
"General, this is what the military advisor asked the general to give to the general before he left." The deputy general stepped forward and whispered.
After Guan Yu read the letter in his hand, a stern look flashed in his eyes. Cao Jun tried to seize Jingzhou and made his troops stronger, so he was going to give Cao Jun a harsh lesson.
Bowangpo is the place that Cao Jun must pass through when attacking Nanyang, and it is also a must-win place for military strategists.
After hearing the news from the scouts, Cao Ren frowned. Cao Ren naturally knew how dangerous Bowang Slope was. However, the terrain of Bowang Slope was dangerous. If soldiers and horses were hidden in it, it would be a big disaster.
"Send an order to the scouts to investigate Bowangpo closely." Cao Ren ordered.
Bowang Slope, the terrain is dangerous. Cao Ren looked at Bowang Slope not far away, but frowned. According to the news from the scouts, it was found that there were no enemy troops in Bowang Slope. The more this was the case, the more Cao Ren was
If you feel suspicious, as long as you are a general with a certain strategy, you can see the importance of Bowang Slope, and Bowang Slope is a good place to ambush soldiers and horses.
"Have you ever sent soldiers to investigate?" Cao Ren asked.
"General, Bowang Slope is very large, and the terrain on both sides is dangerous. Our soldiers entered it and didn't find much."
Yu Jin stepped forward and said: "General, is it possible that the Jingzhou army was frightened when they saw our army coming? The cities along the way were looking at the wind and falling."
"Command the army to station outside Bowangpo." Seeing that it was getting late, Cao Ren ordered directly.
Cao Ren was a highly regarded general by Cao Cao. The most important thing was the strategy Cao Ren showed when he led the troops in battle. Moreover, Cao Ren was a clansman of Cao Cao, so his status in the army can be imagined.
