Rebirth of the God of War Lu Bu

Cao Cao stroked his beard: "The Jin army is extremely rampant. With only 20,000 troops, they dare to station outside Wancheng. This has formed a considerable deterrent to the defenders of Wancheng. If the enemy is allowed to do so,

If the army continues like this, won't the morale of our army become even lower?"

"Not only is it the battlefield of Wuguan, but if Gongda can capture Jizhou, the war will be much easier for us." Cao Cao sighed.

Why didn't Xun Yu understand the truth? Although Lu Bu could not say that he was aristocratic in Jizhou, he had a certain understanding of the strength of the Jizhou army. When Lu Bu attacked Yizhou, he mobilized Jizhou's soldiers and horses.

As long as an army is in Lu Bu's hands, its role on the battlefield cannot be underestimated. On this point, Cao Cao's counselors and generals have a clear understanding.

Lu Bu's prestige in the army determines that if you want to defeat Lu Bu, you must defeat Lu Bu's Ajun. Only in this way can you succeed.

"Prime Minister, Jizhou has thirty thousand defenders after all, and there are Xianbei cavalry in Jizhou. It is extremely difficult to gain an advantage against the Jizhou army," Xun Yu said.

"As long as Wen Ruo can make Hanoi stand firm, the prime minister will send 30,000 troops there. The prime minister wants to see if the Jizhou army dares to go out of the city to fight when facing our 50,000-strong army.

Xun Yu cupped his hands and said, "The Prime Minister is wise."

The longer the war drags on, the more disadvantageous it will be for Cao Cao and Sun Quan. Especially the army under Cao Cao's command has been mobilized too much for this battle, and food and grass are being consumed very quickly. If the two sides continue to confront each other for months and months,

Just getting food and grass is no small problem.

The people under Cao Cao's rule are not like the people under Lu Bu's rule. They don't have enough money and food. In ordinary times, it is considered lucky for them to be able to eat and clothe themselves.

It is probably only in dreams that officials can get fields to cultivate.

The common people mostly exist as tenant farmers of aristocratic families. They cultivate the fields for the aristocratic families, and the rice they get can barely make ends meet. This is when the harvest is relatively good. If there is a disaster, many people will be on the verge of starvation.

In a situation of death, at this time, in order to survive, they may borrow food from aristocratic families.

It would be most cruel to the people if the aristocratic family did not lend them rice and grain. Under such circumstances, many people fell into trouble and became bandits. This is also the reason why it is difficult to clean up the self-destruction under the rule of the princes. As long as there are

Where there are aristocratic families, there will be more poor people, there will be people who can't live anymore, and the power of thieves and bandits will be strengthened.

Henan Yin, the former capital of the Han Dynasty, is located in the territory of Henan Yin. However, Dong Zhuo's fire in Luoyang caused the prosperous Luoyang City to be abandoned, and the surrounding areas of Luoyang City became infested with bandits.

gathering place.

When Cao Ren was guarding Yin and Hongnong counties in Henan, many of them took action against these bandits and divided them, which caused the bandits' power to dissipate a lot. However, after the war, the people in Yin, Henan were too poor. If Cao Cao had Lu Bu's courage,

, if ordinary people can own fields, it will definitely be a different situation, but Cao Cao will not offend a powerful family on this matter.

Cao Cao understood what kind of things can be done and what kind of things cannot be touched. The thieves and bandits exist and they can be eliminated. However, after completely offending the family, more things will be lost. The chaotic Henan Yin wants to make him truly

It's very difficult to stabilize.

At least that was the case when Henan Yin was in the hands of Cao Cao.

As the most prosperous place in the Han Dynasty in the past, Henan Yin had a lot of fertile fields. However, when bandits were rampant, these fertile fields gradually became deserted. After the people in many villages worked hard to cultivate the fields, more rice was lost.

However, the food fell into the hands of thieves.

However, after the arrival of Cao's army, these bandits have restrained themselves a lot. Although Cao Ren is not guarding Henan Yin now, he has left a considerable reputation among Henan Yin.

Pang De and Li Ru led 20,000 Liangzhou troops from Chang'an City and stayed at Hangu Pass for two days.

Hangu Pass is the main channel for the Guandong princes to enter Chang'an. As long as Hangu Pass is in hand, it is basically impossible for Cao Cao, Sun Quan and others to conquer Chang'an.

There is no doubt that the terrain of Hangu Pass is dangerous. The steep mountains on both sides provide a natural barrier for Hangu Pass. If you want to defeat Hangu Pass from a frontal battlefield, there will be sufficient food and grass in the pass.

Next, it is impossible to break through Hangu Pass.

This is also the reason why Cao Cao's army has been guarding Henan Yin for many years and has never invaded Hangu Pass. Taking Hangu Pass into his hands has a great effect on Cao Cao, and these Henan Yin generals naturally know it.

During his stay at Hangu Pass, Li Ru changed the guard of Hangu Pass to Niu Fu. When Yin was fighting in Henan, Hangu Pass was extremely important to the fighting army and there could not be any mistakes.

The army was fighting at the front, but something went wrong at Hangu Pass, which was equivalent to cutting off the army's food, grass and baggage.

This situation is extremely cruel to the army. Li Ru must make detailed plans in this regard. Only by letting Niu Fu stationed at Hangu Pass can Li Ru feel at ease.

"Military advisor, if the guard general of Hangu Pass was changed without authorization, if the Holy One knew about it, would he blame it?" Pound asked.

Li Ru smiled and said: "General, don't worry. Before leaving, I have informed the Holy One about this matter, and the Holy One has agreed."

Pang De nodded when he heard this. Replacing the guard of Hangu Pass with the general of the Liangzhou Army would indeed make Pang De more at ease. Niu Fu had a certain reputation in the army, so it was natural that he would be used to guard Hangu Pass.

Down.

"Military strategist, now our army has arrived at Hangu Pass. In the strategist's opinion, what is the most appropriate way to attack Henan Yin?" Pang De asked.

"General, look at the current situation in Yin, Henan. The situation is extremely complicated. Bandits are rampant. The main force of the enemy army has gathered around Mi County. If this happens, the checkpoint cities around Luoyang will definitely be empty. The general only needs to lead the troops there.

, we will definitely be able to pacify these cities in one fell swoop.”

"After the cities are pacified, there is no need to worry about leading troops to attack the enemy. The people in these cities can be completely stabilized, and the surrounding bandits can be appeased. The fields around the cities can be promised to the people, so that the people can see how to survive.

I hope that in this case, the people will not betray the general easily." Li Ru said.
